Objective:To explore psychosocial factors of depressed elderly patients. Methods:33 elderly people with the first episode of depression diagnosed according to CCMD-3, and elderly healthy people were investigated with EPQ, SSRS (social support rating scale), LES (life event scale) and MMSE (mini mental state examination). Results:The rates of psychiatric family history, somatic diseases, risk factors for vascular disease and long-term difficulties were significantly higher in the depressive group than in control group. The score of MMSE was significantly lower in depressive group than in control group. The scores of negative life events and problems in social intercourse were significantly higher in depressive group than in control group. There were lower score of social support and its utility in the depressive group than in control group. The score of neuroticism was significantly higher in the depressive group. Most depressive elderly patients had the personality of neuroticism.Conclusion:Chronic stress, high neuroticism and severe cognitive impairment are important risk factors for depression in late life.[

Objective: To explore the effect of autophagy on process of high phosphate salt induced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) calciifcation in experimental rats. Methods: Rats’ model of VSMC calciifcation was induced by phosphate incubation. VSMC were divided into 3 groups:①Control group,②Calciifcation group which included 3 subgroups as 4-day subgroup, the cells were cultured by 3.2 mmol/L phosphate for 4 days, 6-day subgroup and 8-day subgroup,③Calciifcation+ 3-MA (autophagy inhibitor) group, in which the 8-day cells were cultured with 5mmol/L 3-MA. Calcium nodule formation and calcium deposition in VSMC were measured by Alizarin red staining and o-cresolphthaleincomplexone method, protein expressions of Runx2, α-SMA and LC3 II were examined by Western blot analysis, autophagosome formation in VSMC was measured by transmission electron microscope and the localization and expression of Runx2 and LC3 II in VSMC were observed by immunolfuorescent microscope. Results: Compared with Control group, the cells at 8-day subgroup showed more calcium nodules, higher calcium deposition, increased protein expressions of Runx2, LC3 II, more autophagosome and decreased α-SMA expression, allP<0.05. Compared with 8-day subgroup, the cells in Calcification+3-MA group presented increased calcium deposition, decreased lfuorescence distribution of LC3 II and more cells with positive Runx2 protein expression, all P<0.05. Conclusion: Autophagy has the protective effect on process of phosphate induced VSMC calciifcation in experimental rats.

Objective:To explore the relationship between job stress, job burnout and turnover intention of operating room nurses in a tertiary hospital in Shandong Province.Methods:From January 2016 to January 2019, the operating room nurses with an average daily operation volume of more than 200 operating rooms in a tertiary hospital in Shandong Province were selected as the research objects. The work pressure, job burnout and turnover intention of nurses were investigated with the Chinese nurses' job stressor scale, job burnout table and turnover intention table. Pearson related factors were used to analyze job stress, job burnout and turnover intention Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing turnover intention. A total of 98 questionnaires were distributed and 98 questionnaires were returned, with a recovery rate of 100%.Results:The average score of job stress, job burnout and turnover intention were 85.49±5.42, 36.17±3.52 and 14.99±3.32, respectively. There were differences in the scores of work stress among different age, working years, education background and establishment groups ( P<0.05) . The scores of job burnout among nurses with different working years, education background, professional title, salary and establishment were different ( P< 0.05) ; the scores of turnover intention of nurses in different age, working years, professional title, salary and establishment group were different ( P<0.05) ; salary, job burnout and occupational pressure were the influencing factors of turnover intention ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The operating room nurses have high work pressure and job burnout is an important factor leading to high turnover intention.

Chronic diabetic wound remains a critical challenge suffering from the complicated negative microenvironments, such as high-glucose, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), hypoxia and malnutrition. Unfortunately, few strategies have been developed to ameliorate the multiple microenvironments simultaneously. In this study, Chlorella sp. (Chlorella) hydrogels were prepared against diabetic wounds. In vitro experiments demonstrated that living Chlorella could produce dissolved oxygen by photosynthesis, actively consume glucose and deplete ROS with the inherent antioxidants, during the daytime. At night, Chlorella was inactivated in situ by chlorine dioxide with human-body harmless concentration to utilize its abundant contents. It was verified in vitro that the inactivated-Chlorella could supply nutrition, relieve inflammation and terminate the oxygen-consumption of Chlorella-respiration. The advantages of living Chlorella and its contents were integrated ingeniously. The abovementioned functions were proven to accelerate cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis in vitro. Then, streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice were employed for further validation. The in vivo outcomes confirmed that Chlorella could ameliorate the undesirable microenvironments, including hypoxia, high-glucose, excessive-ROS and chronic inflammation, thereby synergistically promoting tissue regeneration. Given the results above, Chlorella is considered as a tailor-made therapeutic strategy for diabetic wound healing.
