Objective To investigate the illness-related stigma in outpatients with chronic viral hepatitis B and C and its effects on interaction anxiousness and general self-efficacy.Methods Forty-eight patients with chronic hepatitis B ( CHB),41 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and 29 healthy volunteers were enrolled.Hepatitis-related Stigma Questionnaire (HRSQ) produced by researchers was used to assess stigma in patients of both CHB and CHC.All patients and healthy volunteers were evaluated by Interaction Anxiousness Scale (IAS),General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES) and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ).Results Hepatitis-related stigma was common in both CHB and CHC.The most common positive items and their percentages of CHB and CHC were rejection in job seeking (81.2%,75.6% ), keeping conditions about hepatitis secret (72.9%,75.6% ),feeling discrimination in society (66.7%,56.1% ) and rejection in mate selection (60.4%,61.0% ),and the rarest ones and percentages were feeling lowest stress together with patients with the same disease (35.4%,31.7% ) and being understood only by patients with the same disease (33.3%,26.8% ).Differences of positive percentages of any items between CHB and CHC were not statistically significant (P >0.05 ).One-way ANOVA showed that difference of IAS scores among three groups of participants was not statistically significant ;and GSES score of CHB(2.41 ± 0.45 )was not statistically different from that of CHC (2.49 ±0.60 ),but they both were lower than that of healthy control (2.78 ± 0.52) (F=4.648,P =0.011 ).The multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that the item feeling much different from others of HRSQ entered the formula of CHB IAS score (B =4.861,adjustment R2 =0.106),and the item being understood only by patients with the same disease of HRSQ entered the formula of CHC IAS score (B =6.745,adjustment R2 =0.113);negative coping dimension score of SCSQ ( B =- 0.424),the item feeling discrimination in society ( B =-0.359) and feeling lowest stress together with patients with the same disease ( B =-0.274) entered the formula of CHB GSES score (adjustment R2 =0.280).Conclusion Illness-related stigma is common in outpatients with chronic viral hepatitis,which probably raises patients' interaction anxiousness and weakens the general selfefficacy of patients with hepatitis B and C.

Objective To explore the risk factors of antidepressant treatment emergent suicidal ideas or attempted suicide among patients with bipolar depression. Methods Out of 623 patients with bipolar disorder visiting between June 2006 and June 2009,68 who was initially diagnosed as unipolar disorder and treated with antidepressants were retrospectively surveyed. Suicide and activation symptoms during the process of antidepressant treatment were estimated based on the cases record and semi-structural interviews. Unconditional bivariate logistic regression was conducted to analyze the potential risk factors. Results Of 68 patients,7 ( 10. 3% ) experienced antidepressant treatment emergent suicidal ideas and 4 ( 5.9% ) attempted suicide after 2 to 63 ( 17.45 ± 5.90 )days following the treatment. The antidepressant treatment emergent suicidal ideas or attempted suicide were related to the suicidal level before treatment (P= 0. 012, OR = 2. 072 ) and the combined use of benzodiazepine (P =0. 043, OR = 0.236). Clinical subtypes, gender, age, symptoms feature, types of antidepressant and antidepressanttreatment emergent activation symptoms had little impact on the antidepressant treatment emergent suicidal ideas orattempted suicide (P > 0.05 ). Conclusion The antidepressant treatment emergent suicidal ideas or attempted suicide among patients with bipolar depression are positively related to the suicidal level before treatment while negatively associated with the combined use of benzodiazepine.

Objective: To identify nasal width changes occurring after Le Fort Ⅰosteotomy and to compare prospectively the effect of three surgical techniques for controlling postoperative nasal width . Methods:In the study, 79 patients (22 male and 57 female, mean age 23.2 ±3.4 years), who re-ceived Le Fort Ⅰosteotomy at Peking University Hospital of Stomatology from 2011 to 2014, were ran-domly divided into three groups .Group 1 was treated with traditional intraoral alar base cinch suture ( ABCS);Group 2 with extraoral ABCS, and Group 3 with traditional ABCS plus an extra intraoral suture at points G.lat.All the patients had taken 3D photos using 3dMD camera before operation , and 3, and 6 months after operation.The nasal widths, which were indicated as distances between Sbal-Sbal, G.lat-G.lat and Al-Al, were measured by two examiners in the 3D photos three times with a time-interval of one week .SPSS 13 .0 was used to do the statistic analysis .Results: At the end of the postoperative 6 months, the nasal widths lessened as compared with the postoperative 3 months.No significant diffe-rences were found between the three groups 6 months after the operation .The degree of the postoperative nasal width widening had positive correlation with that of the intraoperative nasal width widening , and had negative correlation with the initial nasal width and the amount of post-suture narrowing .Conclusion:There is no difference between three suturing techniques for controlling nasal width widening after Le FortⅠosteotomy.The postoperative nasal width-widening can’t be totally avoided, and the alteration might last at least 6 months after the operation .For patients with narrow nasal width and need to move maxilla forward , more overcorrection of ABCS is needed to control the postoperative nasal base widening .

Objective To evaluate the surgical corrective results of prominent mandibular angle with masseter muscle hypertrophy by using intraoral approach. Methods One hundred and twenty three cases with various degrees of prominent mandibular angle with masseter muscle hypertrophy were treated through intraoral approach. The basic surgical procedures included masseter muscle reduction (type Ⅰ), mandibular angle osteotomy (type Ⅱ) and angle-splitting osteotomy (type Ⅲ). The type Ⅰ was completed in 4 cases, type Ⅱin 16 cases, type Ⅲ + type Ⅰ in 56 cases, type Ⅲ in 19 cases, type Ⅲ + type Ⅰ in 9 cases, type Ⅲ + type II in 12 cases, type Ⅲ + type Ⅱ+ type Ⅰ in 7 cases. Genioplasty was simultaneously performed in 69 cases.Results The overwidth of the lower face was effectively corrected. The cosmetic results, as determined by both patients and surgeons, were good. No complications, such as facial never injury, or inferior alveolar never injury, occurred in any patients. Conclusions In order to reach good cosmetic results at the patients' lateral view and frontal view, considerations should be determined according to the degrees of the deformities and patient's desires, to choose suitable surgical procedures.

Objective: To investigate the effect of icariin on the proliferation, differentiation, and the mRNA expressions of Cbfαl, BMP2, BMP4 of rat osteoblasts. Methods: Primary rat osteoblastic cells were obtained by sequentia collagenase/trypsin enzyme digestion from calvarial bones of new born ( within 24 h) SD rats and were identified by Alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining. The passage 3-5cells were treated with icariin at the concentration of 0 mol/L, 10~(-8)mol/L, 10~(-7)mol/L, 10~(-6)mol/L,10~(-5)mol/L, 10~(-4)mol/L for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and the proliferation of the cells was measured by CCK-8assay. The proliferation index was detected by Flow Cytometry and the activity of alkaline phosphatase was determined by p-Nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) method after being treated with icariin at the concentration mentioned above for 48 h. The total cellular RNA was extracted 48 h after being treated with icariin at the concentration of 10~(-6)mol/L, and the expressions of Cbfα1, BMP2, BMP4 mRNA were examined by real-time PCR. Results: Icariin showed no effect on the proliferation of osteoblasts, but improved ALP activity. The Cbfα1, BMP2, BMP4 mRNA were significantly upregulated after icariin treatment. Conclusion: Icariin could promote the differentiation ability of rat osteoblasts through upregulating the Cbfα1, BMP2, BMP4 mRNA expressions.
