BACKGROUND: The population of male and female adolescents in China accounts for 1/5. Adolescents have much psychological bewilderment,troublesome and even diseases on sexual issues.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the development status quo and the regulation of adolescents' sexual physiology, sexual psychology, sexual knowledge and sexual education.DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey by employing students of junior high school as subjects.SETTING: A clinic for adolescent of a tertiary hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 960 students aged between 14 and 19 years old of three junior high schools in Dalian city were selected as subjects between November and December of 2001.METHODS: Self-complied questionnaire was used in the survey based on the sexual psychological education situation scale for junior and senior high school students. Classes were randomly selected for anonymous survey based on voluntary principle.Answers to sex-related questions and differences between male and female students.RESULTS: The average age of menarche in female students was 12.96years old and the average age of first emission in male students was 13.89years old, which were consistent with the results of similar national researches. The incidence and frequency of masturbation and sexual impulse was significantly higher in males than females. There were significant differences in sexual concept and the understanding of sexual knowledge between males and females. The desire to affiliate with the opposite sex was far more than the real occurrence.CONCLUSION: The understanding of sexual knowledge in adolescent is not satisfied. Students are also not satisfied with the sexual education provided by their schools. Hence, school sexual education for adolescents should be enhanced with the involvement of community.

Objective To study the restraining capability mechanism of small calibre ileum conduit anastomosed directly to the bladder in pigs. Methods 15 pigs were randomized into 5 groups according to the length of the ileal loop to form the conduit: 4cm, 5cm, 6cm, 7cm, and 8cm. In each pig, two ileal segments of the same length were reduced in calibre by opening up longitudinally and closed around a catheter. They were then directly anastomosed to the bladder end to side and placed within rectus abdominis musche in each pig. Urodynamic test, radiological image analysis and histological study were carried out 8 weeks after the procedure. Results No stenosis and twisting of the ileal ileum conduit were observed in 5cm, 6cm, and 7cm groups, in which they could be catheterized with ease. When the bladder was filled with a mean volume of 400ml of saline, the maximum "urethral" pressure ranged from 5.15~12.19kPa and the maximum close pressure (MCP) ranged from 4.83~11.27kPa. The "urethral functional length" of the ileal conduit was longer than 2cm. Among 5cm, 6cm and 7cm groups, there were no significant differences in maximum closure pressure and the urethral functional length, except in maximum "urethral" pressure. In the 4cm group, there was incontinence. Failure was found in the 8cm group because of necrosis of the ileal loop embedded in the abdominal muscle. Conclusion Small calibre conduits formed with ileum in the length of 5cm to 7cm are able to restrain urinary leakage when anastomosed directly to the bladder and and embedded in the by rectus abdominis in pigs.

BACKGROUND:Pedicle screw fixation has been used in children with thoracic injury. Conventional method is screw implantation by hand. This method can meet the needs of surgery, but its accuracy was low, and incidence of complications was high. The application of digital image navigation aid module is possible. OBJECTIVE:To study accuracy and safety of digital image navigation aid module in thoracic pedicle screw placement. METHODS:Eight thoracic vertebral bodies were equal y and randomly assigned to the manual insertion group and the digital image navigation aid module group. Manual insertion group received manual screw insertion. In the digital image navigation aid module group, navigation aid module was made according to CT scan results combined with principle of reverse engineering and rapid prototyping. Pedicle screw was placed using the digital image navigation aid module. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Success rate of once screw set was significantly higher in the digital imaging navigation aid module group than in the manual insertion group (P<0.05). (2) Twenty-eight screws were implanted in the digital image navigation aid module group and manual insertion group separately. The excellent and good rate of screw placement was 96%in the digital image navigation aid module group and 75%in the manual insertion group (P<0.05). (3) These findings suggested that digital image navigation aid module can effectively improve the success rate of pedicle screw insertion. Moreover, this method is simple, easy to operate, and can make a personalized nail placement program for each child.

Objective To explore the relationship between WT1 and prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and to evaluate the possibility of WT1 as a potential marker for monitoring the minimal residual disease (MRD). Methods Bone marrow mononuclear cells from 58 patients with primary AML, 32 patients with primary ALL, 40 patients with AML-complete remission (CR), 28 patients with ALL-CR and 31 patients with trilineage hyperplasia (control group) were collected. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR method was used to detect the expression of WT1 in all patients. The expression threshold of WT1 in each group was established. WT1 copy number/ABL copy number ratio×100%denotes the relative expression level of WT1 gene. Results Median relative expression level of WT1 in the control patients was much lower than that in primary AML patients [0.026%(0-0.240%) vs. 20.880 % (3.550 %-48.500 %), Z=-7.74, P<0.000 1]. Relative expression level of WT1 between AML-CR patients [0.102%(0-5.380%)] and primary AML patients had significant difference (Z=-8.34, P<0.000 1). Moreover, the relative expression level rate of the first course in AML patients with higher WT1 expression level (>20.880 %) was 60.7 % (17/28), while the CR rate was 76.7 % (23/30) in those with lower WT1 expression. WT1 expression was increased dramatically in recurrent AML patients. Relative expression level of WT1 was significantly higher in primary ALL patients [0.350 % (0.021 %-10.780 %)] compared with that in the control group Z=-2.58, P<0.05. There was no significant difference in relative expression level of WT1 between ALL and ALL-CR patients [0.038 % (0-2.800 %), P=0.065]. Conclusion WT1 expression level in AML patients is relatively high, which could be used as an effective index of prognosis evaluation and MRD monitoring for AML patients, but not for ALL patients.

Human enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the major etiological agents for the hand, foot, and month disease (HFMD) and is causing frequent, widespread occurrence in the mainland of China. The single positive-stranded RNA genome of EV71 is translated into a single polyprotein which is autocleavaged into structural and nonstructural proteins. The functions of many nonstructural proteins characterized in the life cycle of virus are potential targets for blocking viral replication. This article reviews the studies of the structures and functions of nonstructural proteins of EV71 and the anti-enterovirus 71 drugs targeting on these nonstructural proteins.

Objective To investigate the effect of norcantharidin on growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis of human rectal cancer Colo 320 cells. Methods Norcantharidin (NCTD) in different concentrations were added to rectal cancer Colo 320 cells. Morphological characteristics of apoptosis were observed using the light microscope and transmission electron microscope. The expressions of Bag-1 and Bcl-2 proteins were tested by Western blotting. The growth inhibition of Colo 320 cells on the cell cycle was observed by flow cytometry. Results The apoptosis morphological changes of Colo 320 cells were observed by the light microscope and transmission electron microscopy. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the cell count of G2/M phase in experimental group was higher than that in control group ( <0.05) but the cell counts of G0/G1 and S phases have decreased in experimental group after treatment with NCTD at the concentrations of 5μg/mL, 10μg/mL and 20 μg/mL, and presented dosage dependence relations. The expressions of Bag-1 and Bcl-2 proteins have decreased. Conclusion Norcantharidin has inhibitory effect on rectal cancer Colo 320 cells, and the effect may be related to the cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
