OBJECTIVETo test the antimetastatic effects of Arg-Asp (RD) on salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC-LM) in vivo.

METHODSRD was administered orally to experimental metastasized nude mice. The pulmonary metastatic foci number and survival were determined to assay the antimetastatic effects of RD.

RESULTS30 mg/kg, 120 mg/kg of RD demonstrated an inhibitory effect on the pulmonary metastatic foci formation. All of the tested dosages (7.5 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg, 120 mg/kg) of RD prolonged the survival.

CONCLUSIONSOral administration of RD has a antimetastatic effect on SACC-LM. RD is low toxicity.

Objective: To understand campus bullying in colleges and middle schools in Tibet, and to analyze related influencing factors, so as to provide reliable basis and reference for formulating targeted intervention measures. Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was used to investigate the status and influencing factors of being bullied by questionnaire among 3 875 college and middle school students in Ngari, Qamdo, Lhasa, Nagqu and Xigaze of Tibet, from September to November 2019. Chi-square test and Logistic regression method were used for data analysis. Results: The report rate of campus bullying among college and middle school students in Tibet was 5.50%; 4.35% for girls and 6.76% for boys；8.81% for college students, 1.64% for senior high school students and 5.94% for junior high school students. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking ( OR =1.71), Internet addiction ( OR =3.82), depression ( OR =3.84), obesity ( OR =2.02), single parent family ( OR = 1.67 ) and reorganized family ( OR =3.74) were positively correlated with campus bullying ( P <0.05). Girls ( OR =0.66) and senior high school ( OR =0.28) were negatively correlated with campus bullying ( P <0.05). Conclusion Campus bullying is related to campus environment, family type, behaviors and life styles, etc. Efforts should be committed to build a caring campus culture and a good family moral education environment, in order to reduce the incidence of campus bullying and associated adverse effects.
