Objective To explore the accuracy of college students' social cognition of their acquaintances' personalities, and the differences in accuracy between male and female students. Methods 84 participants were tested with Big Five Inventory to evaluate their acquaintances' personalities, while their acquaintances were tested to evaluate their own personalities.Results In the female group, a correlation between the participants' perceptions of their acquaintances and the acquaintances' self-perception turned out to be significant in dimension of extroversion(r=0.564,P<0.01) and in openness(r=0.508,P<0.01);however, in dimensions of neuroticism,extroversion and conscientiousness,significant differences were found (21.20±3.95 vs 24.76±5.01,t=4.254,P<0.01;27.33±5.36 vs 25.42±5.53,t=2.519,P<0.05; 30.76±5.18 vs 28.51±4.85, t=2.384,P<0.05);In the male group, correlation only existed in extroversion (r=0.404,P<0.05); in dimensions of extroversion and conscientiousness, differences were significant (28.28±5.21 vs 25.90±5.10,t=2.646,P<0.05;30.75±5.37 vs 28.18±5.81,t=2.315,P<0.05). Conclusions The accuracy of college students' social cognition of their acquaintances' personalities varies both in personality dimensions and in gender; students tend to evaluate their acquaintances' personalities as those which will conform to social expectancy or be of a benefit to their acquaintances.

Objective To investigate the genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Guangdong Province by linear probe assay (LiPA) and core,non-structural protein 5B (NS5B) sequence analysis,and to evaluate the accuracy of LiPA for genotyping.MethodsOne hundred and ten HCV specimens from chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients in Guangdong Province were genotyped by both core,NS5B sequence analysis and INNO-LiPA 2.0.The data were then analyzed with SPSS 10.0 software.ResultsAmong the 110 specimens,core and NS5B fragment could be amplified from 97 and 62 specimens,respectively,while both fragments were obtained from 57 specimens. The results of genotyping by core sequence analysis were completely consistent with the results of NS5B sequencing.One hundred and two specimens were classified into five subtypes,i.e.genotype 1a,2a,3a,3b,6a,with frequencies of 61.8％ (64),9.8％ (10),3.9％ (4),3.9％ (4),20.6％ (21),respectively.All but genotype 6 strains can be genotyped correctly by using INNO-LiPA 2.0.However,only subtype 1b and 3b could be genotyped accurately.81.5％ genotype 6a strains were genotyped as 1b by mistake. Conclusions Genotype 6a has become the second most prevalent genotype in Guangdong Province.The LiPA cannot distinguish genotype 6a from 1b strains accurately which needs further investigation.

Objective To observe the correlation between platelet parameters , platelet activation marker and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods One hundred and ninety-five type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into the normal control group, the CIMT increased group and the clot group according to the carotid intima-media thickness. Levels of platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), platelet hematocrit(PCT), urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 (11-DH-TXB2) and other clinical, biochemical characteristics were measured. Results (1) Levels of serum LDL-C, MPV, PDW, urinary 11-DH-TXB2 and clinical course in the clot group were higher than those in the CIMT increased group and the normal control group (P < 0.05). (2) Compared with the normal control group, the clinical course, serum LDL-C, MPV, PDW and urinary 11-DH-TXB2 were higher in the CIMT increased group (P < 0.05). (3) By using with spearman rank correlation test, carotid intima-media thickness was positively associated with age , course , BMI , GLU , GHbA1C , LDL-C , MPV , PDW and urinary 11-DH-TXB2, whereas carotid intima-media thickness was negative associated with HDL-C, PLT (both P < 0.05). (4) MPV, PDW and urinary11-DH-TXB2 were shown as the independent risk factors for CIMT. Conclusions Platelet activation marker and platelet parameters are associated with carotid intima-media thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of pneumatically ballistic extracorporeal shockwave on chronic nonspecific low back pain. Methods 66 cases with chronic nonspecific low back pain were randomly divided into treatment group (n=33) and control group (n=33). There were 1 case drop-out in the treatment group and 2 in the control group. The treatment group accepted pneumatically ballistic extracorporeal shockwave, and the control group accepted hot magnet for 2 weeks.
