Objective To study the effect of psychological intervention on quarantined pilot students during the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic. Methods During quarantine,psychological intervention,including Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) and individual interview,are given to 37 pilot students who just went back from the epidemic area in USA. Psychological tests,including Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS)test and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS)test on the 3rd day of quarantine,and Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90) test before and after the quarantine,are carried out. Results Psychological health level of the quarantined students is higher than that of national college students. And the psychological health level of the students is improved after the quarantine. Conclusion Appropriate psychological intervention can transform critical incident into the resource of promoting growing up for students.

Objective To fabricate a novel tissue-engineered cartilage with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) seeded on the chitosan hydrogel scaffold to repair articular cartilage defect.Methods Adipose tissue and costal cartilage were harvested from New Zealand rabbits,and ADSCs in passage one and chondrocytes were obtained after the samples were digested and cultured in vitro.ADSCs were digested,suspended,seeded onto the sterile chitosan gel,and cultured in vitro for 1 week to fabricate the tissue-engineered cartilage.The defects were respectively filled with the tissue-engineered cartilage (composite group),chondrocyte suspension (cell group),chitosan gel (material group) and nothing at all (control group).At postoperative 12 weeks,cartilage repair was evaluated using the gross examination,histological staining,immunohistochemical staining and international cartilage repair society (ICRS) histological score.Results Effect of cartilage repair in composite group was significantly better compared to other groups.The regenerated tissue in composite group seemed tightly bound in normal tissue,with similar structure and extracellular matrix secretion.ICRS histological score in composite group was (13.89 ± 0.14) points,which differed significantly from (7.06 ± 0.19) points in control group,(7.14 ± 0.22) points in cell group and (7.46 ± 0.26) points in material group (P ＜0.01).Conclusion The tissue-engineered cartilage with ADSCs seeded onto the chitosan hydrogel is effective for repair of articular cartilage defect.

Objective To explore the effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the migration of neurons and the potential mechanism through the establishment of primary neuron culture from the brains of neonatal rats.Methods Brain tissues were selected from SD neonatal rats for primary neuron calture.The cells were divided into 4 groups based on the addition of As2 O3:normal control group,1 μmol/L As2O3 group,10 μmol/L As2O3 group and 20 μmol/L As2O3 group.The primary neurons were treated with different concentrations of As2O3 and cultured for 24 hours.Boyden chamber assay was used to detect the effect of As2O3 on neuronal migration.Immunofluorescence laser confocal microscope was used to observe the structure of actin.Results In the control group,the cultured neurons showed a regular pattern of distribution.In the 3 groups treated with As2O3,the distribution of neurons was loose and disordered,which was most obvious in the 20 μmol/L As2O3 group.The results showed that the higher concentration of As2O3,more difficult it was for the neurons to survive.The number of neuronal migration was 64.6 ± 4.3 for normal control group,63.0 ± 7.0 for 1 μmol/L As2O3 group,54.8 ± 3.6 for 10 μmol/L As2O3 group,and 21.6 ± 3.9 for 20 μmol/L As2O3 group.The results showed that As2O3 might inhibit the migration of primary neurons in a dose-dependent manner (F =49.31,P ＜0.001).The normal actin skeleton was destroyed under the laser confocal microscope in 10 μmol/L As2O3 group and 20 μmol/L As2O3 group,while they remained unaffected in normal control group and 1 μmol/L As2O2 group.Conclusion As2 O3 exposure can reduce the neuron migration in a dose-independent manner probably through disrupting the organization of acting cytoskeleton.

Objectives To investigate the occipital cortex metabolite alterations in repetitive and severe neonatal hypoglycemia rats treated with sodium pyruvate and to reveal the protective role of sodium pyruvate using high resolution 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.Methods Thirty-six 2-dayold Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into hypoglycemia group and pyruvate group with 18 rats in each group.Rats in both groups received intraperitoneal injections of insulin (40 U/kg body weight) at 2,4 and 6 days of age to induce severe hypoglycemia (blood glucose value ≤ 1.4 mmol/L).In the hypoglycemia group,2.5 hours after insulin injection,intraperitoneal injection of 50％ glucose (2 ml/kg) was administered to terminate hypoglycemia,while in the pyruvate group,50％ glucose (2 ml/kg) and sodium pyruvate solution 2.5 ml/kg (500 mg/kg) were injected.Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay was used to observe the status of injured neurons in six neonatal rats,and metabolite changes in occipital cortex of the other 12 rats were detected by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.The difference between the two groups was compared by independent-samples t test.Results Neonatal rats of both groups reached severe hypoglycemia level 2.5 hours after insulin injection.Compared with hypoglycemia group,pyruvate group had fewer injured neurons (45±5 vs 113 ± 12,t=0.782,P=0.013) and lower injured index in the occipital cortex (0.15 ± 0.03 vs 0.36 ± 0.06,t=l.143,P=0.020).Pyruvate group showed significant decreases in the concentration of taurine [(13.31 ± 2.06) vs (18.44 ± 3.86) mol/kg,t=8.231],glutamine[(1.50 ± 0.24) vs (2.02 ± 0.40) mol/kg,t=3.137],glutamate[(7.04 ± 0.95) vs (9.40 ± 1.73) mol/kg,t=6.449],aspartate[(1.51 ± 0.28) vs (2.15 ± 0.58) mol/kg,t=2.561] and creatine [(6.37±0.99) vs (8.46± 1.77) mol/kg,t =4.226] in the occipital cortex (all P'＜0.017).Conclusions Simultaneous use of glucose and sodium pyruvate to terminate hypoglycemia in repetitive and severe neonatal hypoglycemia rats can effectively alleviate severe hypoglycemia-induced occipital lobe damage via regulating excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters,energy metabolism and other metabolic pathways.

Histone modification plays an important role in the process of cellular DNA damage repair. In recent years, a great number of studies have shown that histone modification affectsradiation responses including recruitment of DNA damage repair factors, creation of chromatin open structures and establishment of repressive histone marks.Regulation of histone modification may influence the process of DNA damage repair and thus affect radiation sensitivity. In this paper, the effects of histone modification on DNA damage repair, cellular radiosensitivity and the underlying mechanisms are reviewed.

Objective To determine the inhibitory effects of Ellipticine (ELL) on inflammation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells of mouse and explore its molecular mechanism.Methods The RAW264.7 cells in log phase were challenged by LPS (10 mg/L) to induce inflammation and then treated with ELL (0.05, 0.5, 5μmol/L). At the same time the cells treated with ELL (5μmol/L) were considered as ELL control group while without any stimulation as control group. After 12 hours intervention, the content of inflammatory factors in cell supernatant was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and then confirmed the most suitable concentration for the next experiment. After LPS of 10 mg/L was used to challenged RAW264.7 cells to cause inflammation, 5μmol/L ELL was used for intervention, and the mRNA expressions of inflammatory cytokines were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) after 2, 4, 6 and 12 hours; the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) as well as the phosphorylation levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38MAPK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), c-jun, c-fos were detected by Western Blot after 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours.Results ① The different proliferative potential of RAW264.7 treated with LPS (10 mg/L) and ELL (0.05, 0.5, 5μmol/L) had no significant difference comparing with control group, which indicated that ELL had no cytotoxicity with experimental concentration and had no effect on the cell proliferative potential as the result of drug interaction. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in supernatant were significantly increased after induced by LPS comparing with control group. However, the different concentrations of ELL could dose-dependently reverse the production of inflammatory factors, and 5μmol/L was the optimum concentration of anti-inflammatory. ② Compared with control group, the mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IL-6 were significantly increased, the nuclear translocation level of NF-κB p65 increased as well as the phosphorylation levels of ERK, p38MAPK, JNK, c-fos, c-jun after stimulated by LPS. While, the different concentration of ELL could reverse the mRNA of TNF-α, IL-6 and phosphorylation levels of JNK, c-fos, c-jun [TNF-αmRNA (2-ΔCt): 2.45± 0.19 vs. 3.41±0.32 after 2 hours, 1.20±0.11 vs. 2.11±0.21 after 4 hours, 1.68±0.09 vs. 2.51±0.31 after 6 hours;IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔCt): 3.41±0.52 vs. 4.10±0.38 after 6 hours, 1.61±0.08 vs. 3.91±0.25 after 12 hours; p-JNK/GAPDH:0.557±0.034 vs. 1.049±0.056 after 1 hour, 0.439±0.040 vs. 0.855±0.038 after 2 hours; p-c-fos/GAPDH: 0.158± 0.030 vs. 0.741±0.035 after 1 hour, 0.156±0.015 vs. 0.932±0.030 after 2 hours; p-c-jun/GAPDH: 0.425±0.036 vs. 0.802±0.059 after 1 hour, 0.345±0.075 vs. 0.952±0.068 after 2 hours; allP < 0.05]. However, it had no significant effect on the nuclear translocation level of NF-κB p65 and the phosphorylation level of ERK and p38MAPK. Conclusion ELL inhibited the production of IL-6, TNF-α inflammatory factors in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells through suppression the phosphorylation of JNK and activator protein-1 (AP-1).

Objective: To report the clinical features of anti-MDA5 antibody positive juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) complicated with severe interstitial lung disease (ILD). Methods: The clinical data of three patients, who was admitted to the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Children's Hospital of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics from September 2016 to July 2017, with anti-melanoma differentiation associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody positive JDM complicated with ILD were retrospectively extracted and analyzed. Meanwhile, PubMed database, CNKI, Wanfang database and China Biology Medicine disc (from their establishment to February 2019) with the key words "juvenile dermatomyositis" "interstitial lung disease" , and "anti-MAD5 antibody" both in English and Chinese were searched. Results: There were 2 females and 1 male (P1-P3), aged from 10 years 3 months to13 years 4 months, the time from onset to diagnosis were 2 months, 4 months and 10 months. All presented with rash. One of them had decreased muscle strength, and two had decreased activity tolerance. Creatine kinase was 588, 915 and 74 U/L, and serum ferritin were 1 792, >2 000 and 195.4 μg/L. All three patients had positive anti-MDA5 antibodies. At the time of diagnosis, all of them had ILD, pneumothorax and mediastinal emphysema, but had no respiratory symptoms. All three patients received oral methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide pulse therapy, while human immunoglobulin was given only to P1 and P2. P1 developed rapid progressive pulmonary interstitial disease (RPILD) and died of respiratory failure after 2 months. While P2 and P3 were followed up for 1 to 2 years, who had complete remission, as anti-MDA5 antibody turned to negative and ILD improved significantly. Ten related reports in literature were retrieved, without reported Chinese cases, and most cases initiated with rash and very likely complicated with arthritis. Some of them were more likely to have ILD rather than muscle weakness. It also showed that Japanese JDM children had higher rate of positive anti-MDA5 antibody than patients from the U.S. and U.K., and are more susceptible to ILD and RPILD. The mortality rate of patients with RPILD is extremely high. Conclusions The cases of JDM with positive anti-MDA5 antibody mainly presented with rash and mild muscle weakness, and could be complicated with ILD, pneumothorax and mediastinal emphysema without respiratory symptoms at early stage. Anti-MDA5 antibody titer is related to disease activity and can turn to negative after treatment.
