Objective This study is to examine the effect of different breathing patterns (abdominal respiration,natural respiration)on skin temperature(TEMP),skin conductivity(SC) and heart rate variability (HRV) in college students.Methods We use single blind trial in the study,and randomly select thirty students,including fourteen male and sixteen female,aged 19.6±0.77 years,and then randomly divide them into two groups:the intervention group (abdominal respiration group,6 males and 9 females) and the control group(natural respiration group,8 males and 7 females).In the study three phases are included:baseline phase(five minutes),test phase(fifteen minutes),recovery phase(five minutes).Data of above indicators was collected at 3-5 min,14.5-19.5 min,and 23-25 min,respectively,during the study.Results (1) There are no significant difierences of all three indicators between the two groups in the baseline phase(P<0.05).(2)The SC of the test phase in the intervention group is lower than in the control group (P=0.05),while the TEMP and HRV of the two groups show no significant differences(P>0.05).(3)There are no significant differences of TEMP and the HRV in the recovery phase between the two groups(P>0.05),except the SC (P<0.05).Conclusion No significant difference is observed between the influences of abdominal and natural respiration on the emotion-related biological indicators.

BACKGROUND:Although tumor stem cel s and their differentiated vascular cel s, which are not sensitive to chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy, reduce overal blood supply of the tumor, these cel s facilitate the invasion and metastasis of the tumor, eventual y resulting in treatment failure. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of gastric cancer stem cel s in stomach cancer invasion and metastasis as wel as its mechanism in angiogenesis. METHODS:A total of 20 gastric cancer stem cel s and 20 normal gastric cancer cel s SGC7901 were cultured in the medium with DMEM/F12 (1:1), 2%B27 and 20μg/L epidermal growth factors or cultured in 10%PBS, respectively. Invasion of gastric cancer stem cel s was detected by sphere formation assay, colony formation assay and Transwel invasion assay. Levels of mRNA and protein expression of CD44 and E-cadherin were measured to observe tumor metastasis. Besides, angiogenesis was observed by cel scratch test, Transwel migration assay and ring test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Gastric cancer cel s adhered to the medium wal , and gastric cancer stem cel s suspended in the medium, which appeared to be spindle interstitial form. Number of gastric cancer tumor spheres was significantly lower than that of gastric cancer stem cel spheres in the sphere formation assay and colony formation assay (P<0.05). Number of gastric cancer stem cel s through the basement membrane was significantly higher than that of gastric cancer cel s (P<0.05). And the cel migration distance and ring number were significantly increased in the gastric cancer stem cel s as compared with the gastric cancer cel s (P<0.05). In conclusion, the invasion, migration and angiogenesis abilities of gastric cancer stem cel s are stronger than those of gastric cancer cel s, which can further promote the occurrence and progression of gastric cancer.
