Objective:To investigate the relationship between college students' perfectionism and their mental health,and parental rearing styles.Methods:The present study was a cross-sectional design.Three hundred and thirty seven Chinese college students(152 males and 185 females;aged 16～24) were recruited through cluster sampling.Participants were from three major universities,and responded to the revised Perfectionism Scale for Chinese College Students,Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran(EMBU),and SCL-90.Results:The group with high score in perfectionism also got higher scores in their perception of fathers' over-protection,over-intervention,and refusal/denial than the low score group [(2.4?0.5) vs.(2.0?0.4),(2.2?0.4) vs.(2.0?0.3),(1.5?0.5) vs.(1.4?0.5);P

Objective: To revise Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS) within a sample of Chinese college students based on clinical knowledge and Hewitt & Flett's perfectionism questionnaire.Methods:Three hundred and fifty college students responded to the inventory with additional 15 items to the FMPS. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to the data. Results: The revised Perfectionism Scale consisted of 50 items, four subscales (Concerns with Mistakes and Doubts, Personal Standards, Organization, Parents' Expectation and Control). Factor analysis indicated that, the four factors explain 42.31% of the variance with loading between 0.37~0.79. The five subscales had internal consistencies with split-half reliabilities 0.73~0.88, Cronbach's alphas 0.80~ 0.91, and test-retest reliabilities of 0.68~0.80 (P

Objective To investigate pathological characteristics and differential diagnosis of desmoplastic melanocytic nevus.Methods Four cases of desmoplastic melanocytic nevus were analyzed based on the clinical manifestations and histological,immunohistochemical and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) features.Results Of the 4 cases,2 were male and 2 were female.Their age ranged from 19 to 30 years with the average age being 26.5 years.The skin lesions were located on the extremities in 3 cases,on the vulva in 1 case.Histologically,the lesions were bilaterally symmetrical intradermal nevus.Nevus cells appeared epithelioid and/or fusiform,some were clustered or scattered in the proliferative fibrous tissue.None of lymphocyte aggregation,necrosis or ulceration was observed.Immunohistochemical examination showed positive staining for S100 and Melan A in 3 cases,positive staining for P16 in 2 cases,Ki-67-1abeling index less than 5％ in all the 4 cases,and negative staining for factor XⅢ (FXⅢ) and CD34 in 2 cases.FISH assay showed no copy-number variations in gene loci 6p25 (RREB1),6q23 (MYB),6p11.1-q11.1 (Cep6) and 11q13 (CCND1) in desmoplastic nelanocytic nevus.Conclusion Desmoplastic melanocytic nevus is a kind of histologically unique,benign melanocytic nevus,and immunohistochemical staining for Ki-67,S-100,Melan A and FXmand FISH assay on melanoma can be helpful for the differential diagnosis between cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma and melanoma.

Objective To explore the ideal treatment mode of brain metastases by Meta-analysis.Methods Articles were searched for from the databases at home and abroad using English and Chinese keywords.Searching time limited from the databases setting up to December 30,2012.Jadad score was applied to evaluate the qualities of literatures.RevMan5.0 software was applied to perform the Meta-analysis.A totle of 25 articles including 2 750 patients were eligible for the Meta-analysis,which divided into groups with different treatment.Results Compared with monotherapy,combined therapy improved 1-year survival (OR =0.58,95％ CI:0.46 ～0.71,P ＜0.000 01).In combined therapy groups,compared with two methods,three kinds of therapies improved 1-year survival (OR =0.63,95 ％ CI:0.50 ～ 0.80,P =0.000 1).Compared with local therapy only or systemic therapy only,systemic combined local therapy improved 1-year survival (OR =0.68,95％ CI:0.53 ～ 0.86,P =0.001 ; OR =0.59,95％ CI:0.41 ～ 0.86,P =0.006).In systemic combined local therapy groups,three kinds of treatments improved 1-year survival compared with two methods (OR =0.52,95％ CI:0.35 ～ 0.78,P =0.002).Compared with non-molecular targeted therapy,molecular targeted therapy improved 1-year survival (OR =0.76,95％ CI:0.67 ～ 0.87,P ＜ 0.000 1).Conclusion The reasonable treatment for patients with brain metastases is combined treatment with operation,radiotherapy and chemotherapy.There is better curative effect added molecular targeted therapy based on original scheme,if patients have targeted therapy indications.

Objective To increase the understanding in protein-losing enteropathy (PLE).Methods Sixty-one PLE patients were enrolled in the study and the clinical characteristics, complicated disease, diagnosis and treatment were analyzed. Results The age of the patients was 16-77 (40±15)years, and the gender ratio was 35:26 (female: male). The main clinical manifestations were bilateral lower limb edema in 51 cases, ascites in 41 cases, bilateral pleural effusion in 23 cases, pericardial effusion in 13cases, abdominal pain in 16 cases and diarrhea in 33 cases. The prominent abnormality in laboratory examinations was hypoalbuminemia. The underlying diseases include systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in 28 cases, intestinal lymphangiectasia in 12 cases, hepatic cirrhosis in 5 cases, heart diseases in 5 cases,Crohn's disease in 3 cases, membranous nephropathy in 2 cases, Budd-Chiari syndrome in 1 case. Four cases happened after abdominal operation and 1 case after radiation therapy of gastric cardia cancer. Thirtyseven cases were diagnosed by 99Tcm-labelled human serum albumin scintigraphy and 24 cases were diagnosed clinically. Treatment was focused on underlying diseases. The clinical manifestations in 21 cases of SLE improved after SLE was controlled. In 2 cases of intestinal lymphangiectasia and one with Crohn's disease, the clinical manifestations improved after surgery. The other patients had no improvement.Conclusions PLE was not uncommon in clinical practice. Its predominant characteristics were severe hypoalbuminemia, edema and dropsy of serous cavity. PLE can complicate other diseases such as SLE,intestinal lymphangiectasia. Treatment should be focused on primary disease.

Objective To analyze the correlation of hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),homocysteine(Hcy) and D-dimer(D-D) with pathological change degree of coronary heart disease(CHD),and to investigate the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of joint detection in CHD.Methods A total of 100 cases of CHD patients(experimental group) and 100 healthy subjects(control group) were enrolled,.Patients of the experimental group were divided into four groups on the basis of complications,including simple CHD group(32 cases),amalgamating hypertension group(46 cases),amalgamating diabetes group(9 cases),amalgamating hypertension diabetes group(13cases).The levels of hs-CRP,Hcy and D-D in the five groups were detected and analyzed.Results The levels of hs-CRP,Hcy and D-D in the experimental group were all higher than the control group(P<0.05).Logistic regression confirmed that three indexes were the independent risk factors for CHD.Each indicator has a certain clinical significance to the diagnosis and treatment of CHD but the value of Hcy could be better.Joint detection of hs-CRP and Hcy could be an ideal combination of detection,and the three joint detection might not be suitable for early diagnosis and treatment of CHD.The levels of hs-CRP and D-D in simple CHD group,amalgamating hypertension group,amalgamating hypertension diabetes group were all higher than amalgamating diabetes group(P<0.05).Conclusion hs-CRP,Hcy and D-D could be the independent risk factors of CHD,and joint detection might be with important clinical value for diagnosis of CHD.

Objective To investigate the iodine nutritional status of targeted population in the high-risk areas of iodine deficiency disorders in Chongqing, so as to provide scientific evidence for establishing prevention and remedial measures. Methods Six towns were selected in Chengkou and Wuxi Counties to found suspected dementia patients born after first Jan, 1997. Two hundred children aged 8-10 years were investigated in every town. The thyroid volume, intelligence quotient(IQ) and urinary iodine of the children were examined. Forty women (pregnant and nursing women) were investigated in every town. The iodine content of salt from their home was measured. The thyroid volume was examined by palpation and B-uhrasound. IQ was measured by combined Raven Test in China(CRT-RC2). Urinary iodine was determined using the acid digest arsenic-cerium contacting method, and iodined salt was detected using direct titration method. Results Six suspected dementia patients were found in the local town hospital. Five eases were excluded. There was 1 case born in other place. The rates of goiter by palpation and B-ultrasound were 9.58%(92/960) and 8.89%(65/731), respectively. The median of urinary iodine of children and women was 319.15 μg/L and 248.42 μg/L, respectively. The mean of IQ of the children was 103.32. The coverage rate of iodine salt from residents was 98.82%(336/340). Conclusions The iodine nutrition of children was good and there is no newly occurred cretinism in Chengkou and Wuxi Counties. Goiter rate and median of urinary iodine aged 8-10 years and of women, coverage rate of iodine salt from resident has meet the standard set for basical elimination iodine deficiency disorders.

To investigate the effect of Jiawei Foshou San and its various combined administration on hepatic P450 enzyme activity and hepatocyte morphology in rats. Rats were orally administered with drugs for four weeks and then sacrificed to prepare liver microsomes. The liver microsomes were incubated with the cocktail method; The metabolites were determined with the rapid liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to investigate the hepatocyte P450 enzyme activity. In addition, the hepatic pathological changes were observed by using the hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Compared with the control group, the enzyme activity of CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 in the Jiawei Foshou san group showed a significant rise (P < 0.05); the enzyme activity of CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4 in the ferulic acid + ligustrazine group and the ligustrazine + tetrahydropalmatine group showed a significant rise (P < 0.05) ; the enzyme activity of CYP1A2, CYP2D6 and CYP2E1 in the ligustrazine group showed a significant rise (P < 0.05); the enzyme activity of CYP3A4 in the ferulic acid group showed a significant reduction (P < 0.05). After the administration with various drugs, the hepatocyte morphologies in the ferulic acid group and the ligustrazine group were normal. The pathological changes were observed in the tetrahydropalmatine group, such as unclear boundary of hepatic lobules, disordered hepatic cell arrangement, blurred edge, anisokaryosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells. The ferulic acid + tetrahydropalmatine group, the ligustrazine + tetrahydropalmatine group and the Jiawei Foshou San group also showed inflammatory infiltration, but with less pathological changes, particularly the Jiawei Foshou San group. The study result shows that Jiawei Foshou San can induce the enzyme activity of CYP1A2 and CYP3A4, and ligustrazine may be the effective substance for inducing CYP1A2. Its combination with ferulic acid and ligustrazine can significantly reduce the liver toxicity of tetrahydropalmatine.

In recent years, the research of immune checkpoint inhibitors has made a great breakthrough in lung cancer treatment. Currently, a variety of immune checkpoint inhibitors have been applied into clinical practice, including antibodies targeting the programmed cell death-1, programmed cell death-ligand 1, and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4, and so on. However, not all patients can benefit from the treatment. Abnormal antigen presentation, functional gene mutation, tumor microenvironment, and other factors can lead to primary or secondary resistance. In this paper, we reviewed the molecular mechanism of immune checkpoint inhibitor resistance and various combination strategies to overcome resistance, in order to expand the beneficial population and enable precision medicine.
