ObjectiveTo explore relations between self-control and aggressive behavior in college students.Methods 310 students were surveyed with Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire and self-control questionnaire(SCQ).Results①High score group in SCQ was higher with physical aggression,verbal aggression,anger,hostility and aggression scores ( respectively ( 25.86 ± 5.04 ),( 15.27 ± 2.76 ),( 20.12 ± 4.26 ),( 23.87 ±4.45 ),( 85.11 ± 11.75 ) ) than the low group ( respectively (20.26 ± 5.04 ),( 14.04 ± 3.35 ),( 13.76 ± 4.68 ),( 19.37 ±5.31 ),(67.43 ± 13.56) ),the difference was statistically significant (P＜ 0.01 ).②Self-control scores had significant positive correlations with aggressive behavior scores( r=0.60,P＜ 0.01 ).③Self-control dimension (self-emotional,simplistic tendency,impulsive risk-taking) were significant predictors of aggressive behavior(P ＜0.01 ).ConclusionSelf-control is closely related with aggressive behavior,and it is a significant predictor of aggressive behavior.

Objective:To investigate the possible reversal effects of 1 ,3-diphenyl-1 ,3-propanedione (DPPD)for cocaine-induced content changes of neurotransmitters of brain in mice.Methods:In this study,36 healthy ICR male mice were randomly divided into control group,cocaine group,three DPPD pretreatment groups (200,400,and 800 mg/kg)and DPPD alone group (800 mg/kg).The mice in control group were administered intragastrically with 1 % Tween 80 for 3 d,and the mice in cocaine group were administered intragastrically with 1 % Tween 80 for 2 d before cocaine was injected subcutaneously on the 3rd day.The mice in the three DPPD pretreatment groups were administered intragastrically (DPPD 200,400,and 800 mg/kg)for 3 d before cocaine was injected subcutaneously 30 min after the administration on the 3rd day.The mice in DPPD alone group were administered intragastrically with DPPD at dose of 800 mg/kg for 3 d.The mice were sacrificed 20 minutes after cocaine injection.The contents of dopamine (DA)and 5-hydroxytryptamin (5-HT)in the mice brain were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-fluorescence detector,the contents of glutamic acid (Glu) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)in the mice brain were determined by HPLC-ultraviolet detector,and the neurotransmitter levels were compared between the groups.Results:The results showed that as com-pared with the control group,DA and GABA contents in cocaine group increased significantly (P <0.01 and P <0.05),while Glu content decreased (P <0.05).As compared with cocaine group,the DA levels in the three DPPD pretreatment groups (200,400,and 800 mg/kg)all decreased significantly (P <0.01 ).In DPPD 200 mg/kg pre-administration group,GABA content decreased (P <0.05),and the contents of the four kinds of neurotransmitters had no statistical differences with those of the control group.Conclusion:DPPD may have potential reversal effects of the content changes of neurotransmitters in mice brain induced by cocaine at a lower dose.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To observe the change of skin histology in diabetic rats and to investigate the possible me-chanism of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) protein in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) during the process.METHODS:Diabetic animal model was established in the male SD rats by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin.Plantar skin speci-mens of the rats were collected from control group, DM 2-week group (DM2), DM 4-week group (DM4), and DM 8-week group ( DM8) .Immunohistochemical staining and HE staining were used to observe the change of PGP 9.5 immunoreactive nerve terminals and the structures of the skin tissues.The protein expression of PGP 9.5 in the plantar skin tissues, and JNK and p-JNK protein in the DRG within lumbar 5, 6 (L5, 6), and sacral 1 (S1) spinal cord segments were detected by Western blotting.RESULTS:PGP 9.5 immunoreactive nerve terminals of the plantar skin of the rats mainly distributed in the basal layer of the epidermis and papillary dermis.Compared with control group, PGP 9.5 positive nerve terminals in DM4 group showed reduced density and sparse distribution.PGP 9.5 positive nerve terminals in DM8 group showed signifi-cantly reduced distribution, thinner nerve diameter, shorter length and distorted shape.Histological changes of the thinner epidermal tissue, reduced epidermal cell layers, uneven cell distribution and arrangement in DM4 group, and significantly reduced epidermal cell layers, swollen and blurred cells, increasing cell gap, lack of stratified epidermis arrangement for part of epidermis, atropal and degenerated dermal collagen fiber, significantly decreased subcutaneous fat in DM8 group were observed.The results of Western blotting showed that the protein expression of PGP 9.5 in the plantar skin tissue of DM rats was progressively decreased along with the disease, while the protein level of p-JNK in L5, 6-DRG or S1-DRG showed a gradual increasing trend.PGP 9.5 immunoreactive positive nerve terminal density of plantar skin in DM rats had a negative correlation with the protein level of p-JNK in L5, 6-DRG and S1-DRG (P<0.01), but showed a significant positive correlation with the plantar skin thickness (P<0.01).CONCLUSION:The protein level of p-JNK within L5, 6-DRG or S1-DRG in DM rats shows a progressive enhancement.At the same time, there is a significant change in the skin tissue density and structure.The changes of skin tissue and nerve morphology in DM rat may be related to the activation of JNK/SAPK pathway in L5, 6-DRG or S1-DRG cells.Blocking or inhibiting JNK/SAPK pathway may delay the diabetic pe-ripheral neuropathy and reduce the risk of skin lesions.

To study the comparability of myocardial enzyme spectrum detection results by two different bio-chemical testing systems to provide references for mutual accredit of detection results in one lab. Following NC-CLS document EP9-A2, 8 clinical specimens were selected every day for five days and tested for AST, LDH, CK and CK-MB respectively with Siemens ADVIA1800 and Johnson & Johnson Victro350 systems. Acknowledging Siemens AD-VIA1800 as objective testing system, the results were utilized to make correlation analysis and clinical acceptability esti-mation. There was high precision in Siemens ADVIA1800 and Johnson & Johnson Victro350 (CV≤1/3CLIA′88 allowable error). It's proved by t test that the difference of the myocardial enzyme results tested with Siemens ADVIA1800 and Johnson Victro350 was statistically significant (P<0.01), while the two testing systems showed significant correlation (r>0.975). In the comparison with the Siemens ADVIA1800, the standard errors (SE%) of AST, CK and CK-MB tested with Johnson Victro350 were 4.0%-6.6%, 9.6% and 13.3%, which were accepted by clinical standard; while the SE% of LDH tested with Johnson Victro350 were 11.2%-12.7%, which were beyond clinically acceptable range. In case one item is tested by different testing systems in one laboratory, the comparison and bias estimation acceptable eval-uationare necessary to judge the clinical acceptability, which can ensure the accuracy and consistency of the results.

Objective To evaluate the value of noninvasive monitoring of pulmonary arterial pressure in the children with severe pneumonia and respiratory failure.Methods A prospective study was adopted to investigate 69 patients who suffered from severe pneumonia and respiratory failure in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Shanghai Children's Hospital from June 2013 to December 2013 were involved in this study,except for heart disease.The pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and cardiac function were monitored by using bedside color doppler ultrasound cardiogram,such as PAP,cardiac index (CI),left ventricle ejection fraction(LEFT),and heart early diastolic filling velocity maximum/heart late diastolic filling velocity maximum (E/A ratio).They were divided into 2 groups according to PAP,one group as pulmonary arterial pressure normal group,the other group as pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH) group,and the impact of the PAP on the prognosis and mechanical ventilation was assessed.Milrinone[0.5 μg/(kg · min)] were given the patients who were combined with pulmonary hypertension,and the PAP and cardiac function before using Milrinone and 24 h,48 h and 72 h after giving medicine was observed.Results Among 69 cases,40 cases were male and 29 cases were female,age ranging from 2 months to 12 years old,and the weight range was (14.3 ± 8.9) kg.The pediatric critical illness score(PICS) was 70.5 ± 9.6,and the pediatric risk of score m ortality Ⅲ was 13.5 ± 5.0.Among 69 cases,46 cases had pulmonary arterial hypertension,38 cases of them experienced mechanical ventilation,and 9 cases died.Among 23 cases who had no pulmonary arterial hypertension,only 8 cases experienced mechanical ventilation.There was a significant difference in the mechanical ventilation rate and mortality between two groups(x2 =15.78,P ＜0.0l ; x2 =5.18,P ＜ 0.05).The mechanical ventilation time was longer in pulmonary arterial hypertension group (t =3.89,P ＜0.01).PAP was (58.23 ±5.44) mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),(49.10 ±4.69) mmHg,(42.53 ±4.54)mmHg and(35.63 ±4.78) mmHg respectively before and after using Milrinone 24 h,48 h and 72 h in 46 cases with pulmonary arterial hypertension,and the pressure decreased significantly after using medicine (F =67.11,P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference in CI,LVEF and E/A(all P ＞0.05).However,9 cases of them did not show any response to Milrinone,and in the end they couldn't live without mechanical ventilation,they died.Conclusions Noninvasive pulmonary arterial pressure monitoring could be beneficial in judging patient's condition and assessing prognosis of children with severe pneumonia and respiratory failure,and milrinone could decrease PAP.
