Objective To test the validity of the stress-cognition vulnerability-model of depression in Chinese undergraduates.Methods 647 undergraduate students finished the Chinese version of 6 scales in time one.Cognitive Style Questionnaire(CSQ),Response Styles Questionnaire(RSQ-SF),Self-Esteem Questionnaire(SEQ),Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale(DAS),General Social and Academic Hassles Scale for Students(GSASHS),Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-DA)follow-up assessment in 1 month later,the General Social and Academic Hassles Scale for Students(GSASHS)scale and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D)scale were completed.Then,vulnerability factors for depression symptoms were used to predict depression symptoms by Multiple Hierarchical Regression(MHR).Path analysis and structural equation model(SEM)were used to explore integrated vulnerability-stress model of depression in Chinese undergraduates.Results Vulnerability-stress interaction was entered into regression equation.The results showed that the vulnerability-stress interaction provided incremental predictive validity to depressive.Symptoms path analysis showed that negative cognition→rumination→depression was a important pathways to cause depression(β=-0.31,P<0.01).The structural equation model for integrated vulnerability-stress model of depression analysis indicated the fit index:GFI =0.95,CFI=0.94,IFI=0.94,RMSEA=0.085.Conclusion A cognition vulnerability-stress medels of depression in Chinese undergraduates was provided and to be confirmed.The rumination was a important mediated variable.

OBJECTIVE:To clarify the bio-transformation form of apigenin in rats,and to speculate its possible metabolic path-way. METHODS:Rats were divided into blank group and medication group(apigenin 200 mg/kg,i.g.)with 6 rats in each group. Urine and feces samples were collected from 2 groups within 24 h after medication. After corresponding treatment,urine and feces samples were analyzed and detected by HPLC-IT-TOF-MSn under cation mode and anion mode. RESULTS:9 metabolites were iden-tified in urine sample of rats from medication group,i.e. 2,3-double bond reduction of apigenin (U1,U7,U8,U9),bonded to glucuronic acid(U2,U3,U4),bonded to sulphate(U5,U6,U7,U8,U9)and bonded to glucose(U2). 4 metabolites were iden-tified in feces sample of rats from medication group,i.e. 2,3-double bond reduction of apigenin(F3),bonded to glucuronic acid (F2)and bonded to glucose(F1). CONCLUSIONS:Apigenin mainly exists in form of prototype drug in rats. The reduction hap-pens on 2,3-double bond by the intestinal bacteria,and the product of apigenin boned to glucuronic acid or glucose can be formed when excreting in intestinal tract and rats in vivo,while the product of apigenin boned to sulphate can be formed only when excret-ing in rats in vivo.

Objective To detect the serum level of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP5b) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) before and after infliximab treatment and analyze the relevance between TRACP-5b and activity indexes of RA.The effect of different medicines on bony erosion in RA and its possible mechanism were explored.Methods Patients were divided into two groups:16 patients were treated with inffiximab for 24 weeks (group 1 ),25 patients were treated with MTX for 24 weeks (group 2).The core indicators of RA activity were evaluated.Ranked test,grouped design and matched t test was used to examine the quantity data between groups,while numerate data was analyzed with qui-square test.Correlation between data was tested by Spearmen's and Pearson's tests.RestltsThe levels of TRACP-5b in patients with X-ray stagesⅠ ,Ⅱ ,Ⅲ ,Ⅳ were elevated at the baseline.The levels of TRACP-5b in phase Ⅲ and Ⅳ were [(3.34±1.07) U/L] and[(4.05±0.25) U/L] respectively,higher (P＜0.05) than those in phase Ⅰ[(1.69±0.48) U/L].At week 0,week 12,and week 24,the serum levels of TRACP-5b in group 1 were(3.07±1.32),(2.72±1.18),(2.16±1.09) U/L respectively,while the levels in week 12,and 24 were significantly lower than those of week 0(P＜0.05).A significant decrease of serum TRACP-5b level in group 1[(2.16±1.09 ) U/L]when compared to group two[ (3.05±0.93) U/L] after 24 weeks.TRACP=5b level was positively correlated with the course of disease (r=0.313,P=0.043 ),HAQ(r=0.443,P=0.007).Conclusion Infliximab can reduce TRACP-5b level in RA and inhibit inflammatory bone loss.TRACP-5b can be used to evaluate the efficacy of biological agents in treating RA.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of thoracic cavity perfusion with cisplatin combined with mannan peptide in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with malignant pleural effusion.Methods 47 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with malignant pleural effusion with a median age of 50 years old (41-70 years old) were enrolled.Pleural effusion occurred at 38.5 months on average after diagnosis,unilateral effusion was seen in 45 patients (95.7 ％),bilateral effusion was seen in 2 patients (4.2 ％).Cisplatin combined with mannan peptide was administered through pleural puncture by PICC center vein pipe after drainage.Data of survival complications and response to the treatment were reviewed.Results 17 patients (36.1％) had a complete remission (CR),21 patients (44.6 ％) had partial remission (PR),and the total remission rate (CR+ PR) was 80.9 ％.The median survival time was 10.5 months.Patients with pleural fluid pH ≥ 7.2,glucose ≥ 60 mg/L,and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) ＜ 600 U/L showed association with good efficacy,the efficacy rates were 85.0 ％ (34/40),86.5 ％ (32/37),89.5 ％ (34/38),the median survival time were 11.5,12.0,12.5 months.Pleural fluid pH ＜ 7.2,glucose ＜ 60 mg/L,and LDH ≥ 600 U/L showed association with poor efficacy,the efficacy rates were 42.8 ％ (3/7),50.0 ％ (5/10),44.4 ％ (4/9),the median survival time were 6.5,6.5,6.0 months (P ＜ 0.05).The curative effect of the patients with bone metastasis and (or) pulmonary metastasis without liver metastasis was more similar with that of the patients with liver metastases [(47.0 ％ (16/34) vs 57.1％ (4/7),x2 =0.01,P =0.29].But median survival time had significant difference (11.0 vs 6.0 months,P =0.02).The Cox multi-factor analysis confirmed that the LDH value of effusion was an independent factor as prognosis evaluation.Major side effects of the treatment included fever,chest pain,nausea and vomiting.Conclusion Thoracic cavity perfusion using cisplatin combined with mannan peptide is effective in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with pleural effusion,with relatively low toxicity.LDH value is a predictive factor for survival.The patients with liver metastases appeare poor median survival time.

Objective To observe the time-course expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in cerebral cortex after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods The TBI model of mouse was established. The mice were divided in 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 3 d, 7 d after TBI, shamand control groups. The permeability of the blood brain barrier was evaluated by measuring the extravasation of Evans blue (EB) dye. The expression of Z O-1 in cerebral cortex in the injured area was detected by western blotting and im-munohistochemistry. Results The extravasation of EBdye of injured cortex gradually increased from 1 h, peaked at 1-3 d and approximately decreased to normal at 7 d after TBI. western blotting revealed that the expression of Z O-1 gradually decreased after 1 h, was at the lowest at 1-3 d, and then significantly increased after 7 d but was still lower than that of normal and shamgroups. The result of immunohisto-chemistry showed that Z O-1 had strong expression in vessel of normal cortex, gradually decreased after TBI, and almost disappeared at 3 d after TBI and gradually recovered to normal level later. Conclusion The expression of Z O-1 in the injured cortex after TBI initially decreases and then increases. The nega-tive correlation between Z O-1 expression and EBextravasation after TBI could be used as a newindi-cator for wound age estimation.

OBJECTIVETo determine the exact location of the opening of the ejaculatory duct in men and provide some basic anatomical evidence for seminal vesiculoscopy and the treatment of ejaculatory duct obstruction.

METHODSWe performed ureterocystoscopy for 21 male patients aged 26 - 47 years with hematuria (n = 12), hematospermia (n = 2), glandular cystitis (n = 6), and anejaculation after radical resection of rectal carcinoma (n = 1), and meanwhile, with the consent of the patients, massaged the prostate and ejaculatory duct and observed the outlet of the expelled fluid. Under the microscope, we described the fluid samples with sperm as the expulsion from the ejaculatory duct.

RESULTSUreterocystoscopy showed that the exact anatomical sites of the expulsion of prostatic fluid and semen in the patients were the side and lower side of the prostatic utricle opening above the verumontanum and the ventral side of the verumontanum. Quantities of sperm were found in the expulsion fluid of 13 of the patients, and no expulsion, including semen, was seen from the prostatic utricle opening.

CONCLUSIONAnatomically, the ejaculatory duct openings of males are located at the two sides of the verumontanum adjacent to the opening of the prostatic utricle, rather than in the prostatic utricle above the verumontanum.

Conclusion Nanochemotherapy drug has significant effect on treatment cholangiocarcinoma in vilro,which may attribute to the down regulation of Survivin and up regulation of p53.

BACKGROUND: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the gold standard for degenerative cervical disease,which would be replaced by cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) with the wide application of CDA. But, the mid- and long-term outcomes of ACDF versus CDA remain controversial.OBJECTIVE: To compare the mid- and long-term outcomes of ACDF and CDA in the treatment of single-level cervical spondylosis.METHODS: PubMed, Medline, EMbase, Cochrane, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang databases were searched for randomized controlled trials addressing CDA versus ACDF for single-level cervical spondylosis published before August 2016. The quality of trails was strictly evaluated, the data were extracted and a meta-analysis was performed on ReviewManager5.3 software.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Totally 15 randomized controlled trials involving 2781 patients were included, with 4-10 years of follow-up. (2) Meta-analysis results showed that compared with ACDF, CDA had better SF-36 scores,larger range of motion at operation level, lower the Neck Disability Index, and Visual Analogue Scale scores for arm pain,lower reoperation rate at operation level and adjacent level at mid- and long-term follow-up. (3) The Visual Analogue Scale scores for neck pain, neurologic success and all-complication rate did not differ significantly between two groups.(4) These results manifest that CDA is superior to ACDF in the mid- and long-term outcomes for single-level cervical spondylosis; however, further large-scale, multi-center and high-quality randomized controlled trials will be necessary.
