Objective: To evaluate the effect of RBa-I, an extract of Rosa bracteata Wend1, against withdrawa1 syndrome in morphine-dependent rats and to explore its mechanism. Methods: The mode1 rats of morphine dependent were established. The scores of withdrawa1 syndrome,?-EP level in hypotha1amus and pituitary body were observed to evaluate the effect of RBa-I in rats. Results: RBa-I can antagonize the urging withdrawa1 syndrome in morphine-dependent rats (ora1ly, 5 mg?kg -1 ), and the effect was inferior to chlonidine (oral1y, 0.2 mg?kg -1 ). It can a1so antagonize the natural withdrawal syndrome, decrease the tota1 scores of withdrawa1 syndrome and inhibit the decreasing of body weight. After a seven-day treatment course, the tota1 scores of withdrawa1 syndrome were decreased remarkab1y. The content of ?-EP in hypotha1amus and pituitary body were increased. Conclusion: RBa-I can antagonize the withdrawa1 syndrome of morphine-dependent rats and this may be related to the increase of ?-EP level in hypothalamus and pituitary body in rats.

Objective To investigate the metabolite changes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with and without neuropsychiatric symptoms using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and explore the associations between image findings and clinical variables. Methods Twenty-two SLE patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSLE), twenty-one SLE patients without neuropsychiatric symptoms (non-NPSLE) and twenty healthy controls (HCs) underwent routine MRI scan and multivoxel magnetic reson-ance spectroscopy (MVS). The absolute metabolite concentrations were measured bilaterally in the posterior cingulate gyrus (PCG), dorsal thalamus (DT), lentiform nucleus (LN) and posterior paratrigonal white matter (PWM) using LCModel and SAGE software. The relationships between metabolite con-centrations and cognitive function scores were analyzed by Spearman rank correlation. Single-factor Chi-square analysis and t-test were used for analysis. Results ① Compared to control subjects, NPSLE patients had significantly lower N-acetylaspartate (NAA) values in bilateral PCG and DT, with the mean differences of -1.504 [95% confidence interval ( CI) (-2.335, -0.672), P=0.001], -1.460 [95%CI (-2.349, -0.570), P=0.002], -1.259 [95%CI (-1.894, -0.625), P=0.000] and -1.022[95%CI (-1.688, -0.356), P=0.003] for RPCG, LPCG, RDT and LDT, respectively. The concentration of total creatinine were observed to decline in RPCG and RDT, with the mean differences of-1.094 [95%CI (-1.845, -0.342), P=0.003], -0.955 [95%CI (-1.630, -0.280), P=0.006], -1.259 [95%CI (-1.894,-0.625), P=0.006] respectively. Glutamine and glutamate-values decreased significantly in RDT [mean difference=-2.586, 95%CI (-4.139, -1.033), P=0.002]. ② Compared to non-NPSLE patients, NPSLE patients had a lower NAA level in LPCG [mean difference=-1.256, 95%CI (-2.146, -0.367), P=0.006]. Positive correlations between mini-mental state examination scores [RPCG: rs=0.312, P<0.05; LPCG: rs=0.355, P<0.01], Montreal cognitive assessment scores (RPCG: rs=0.362, P<0.01; LPCG: rs=0.285, P<0.05) and NAA values in bilateral PCG were detected. Conclusion Both NPSLE and non-NPSLE patients may have metabolite dysfun-ctions in different brain regions. The cognitive disorder in SLE patients may be interpreted by neuronic damage of PCG.

Objective:
To investigate the attitudes and demands of parents of children in Luzhou towards family based child sexual abuse prevention education.
Methods:
A self administered anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among parents of children in Luzhou City who were selected from stratified cluster sampling. Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze parents attitudes.
Results:
Parents attitude towards prevention of sexual assault education was positive (average score 16.70± 3.67 ). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that parents of only child ( β =0.30), parents who participated in related activities ( β =1.28), communicated with relatives and friends ( β =0.81), and lived in urban areas ( β =0.49) had more positive attitudes. In terms of parental factors, average annual family income higher than 100 000 yuan ( β =0.39), mothers of young children ( β =0.88), and parents with a high level of knowledge about sexual assault prevention education ( β =0.98), the mother being a teacher or a medical staff ( β =0.52), and educational background of the mother being high school/secondary school ( β =1.03), college/undergraduate or above ( β =1.42) were associated with more positive attitudes( P <0.01). The results of demand analysis showed that parents had high demand for child s self protection (96.86%).
Conclusion
Parents of young children in Luzhou City show generally positive attitude and high demand towards family based sexual abuse prevention. Knowledge training and publicity regarding child sexual abuse should be improved for children who had siblings, from rural and township areas, and whose parents with low educational background.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common and high incidence disease in China. It is presently thought that diabetes is one of the independent risk factor for HCC. Diabetes and liver cancer are closely related, but the relationship and mechanism of diabetes and liver cancer are quite complex and controversial. Insulin resistance, glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism disorders, and abnormal release of inflammatory mediators are the common bases of these two diseases. The molecular mechanisms of glycogen synthase kinase-3, toll like receptor 4, CCL5, CXCL14 and NCOA5, TCF7L2 genes affecting the correlation between liver cancer and diabetes mellitus are discussed and explained to provide the basis for the study and treatment of disease.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(10):1516-1519
Objective:
To investigate family based child sexual abuse prevention education in rural areas of Luzhou, to provide guidance for child sexual abuse prevention and intervention.
Methods:
By stratified cluster sampling, from December 2021 to January 2022, 1 213 parents were investigated with the simplified scale of knowledge attitude practice of family sexual education. The influencing factors of family sexual education were analyzed by multiple linear regression.
Results:
The score of family sexual abuse prevention education in rural areas of Luzhou was (11.21 ± 3.99), and the pass rate was 51.69%. The results showed that maternal education of junior high school ( β =0.79), senior high school / technical secondary school( β =1.26) and bachelor / college degree or above( β =1.75), mothers to be the main educators ( β =1.29) were positively associated with, while being girls( β =-0.41) and left behind children ( β =-0.59) were negatively associated with family child sex abuse prevention education score( P <0.05). Children received sex education in school( β =0.81), adequate knowledge of sex education of parents ( β =1.11), positive attitudes towards sex education of parents ( β =1.51), communication with relatives and friends regarding sex education of parents ( β =1.94), parents having participated in sex education related activities( β =0.67) were positively associated with family child sex abuse prevention education score( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Family based child sexual abuse prevention education in rural areas of Luzhou is insufficient. Relevant departments need to set up personalized intervention measures according to the different conditions of families, carry out relative education activities, to improve the level of sex education of rural families and improve their awareness of self prevention.
