Objective To investigate the factors affecting rural women suffering from postpartum depression in order to provide scientific basis for rational intervention.Methods 368 rural pierperas whose deliveries were in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were surveyed by trained professional nurses with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale from May 1,2013 to April 30,2014.The data were processed by chi square test and unconditional logistic regression analysis to find the independent risk factors associated with postpartum depression.Results There were 347 valid questionnaires.The incidence of depression after delivery was 25.1％ (87/347).Logistic regression analysis showed that the low income family [OR=1.982 (1.238-2.562)],the inconformity of actual and expected baby gender [OR=0.465 (0.183-0.759)] and the mother-in-law as caregiver of pierpera [OR=2.459 (1.950-2.913)] were independent risk factors for postpartum depression of rural women,three of them are significant statistically,P＜0.05.Conclusions Understanding the risk factors for postpartum depression and being targeted to guide individually can reduce the incidence of postpartum depression.

Objective To explore the nervous mechanism of intestinal function disorder after intestine congestion through observing the changes of acetylcholinesterase (AchE) neuron and nitric oxide synthase neuron (NOS) expression in nervous system of rat intestinal tract. Methods Sprague Dawley rats were divided into experimental groups (intestine congestion 20min and 60min group) and the control group. Then the spreading specimens of intestinal myen-teric plexus of ileums were collected and stained by AchE and nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate-D (NADPH-d) histochemistry, to observe and compare the density of distribution and staining of AchE and NOS positive neurons. Result Compared to the control group, the number and positive expression of AchE positive neuron in intestinal myen-teric plexus of ileums in the experimental group rats decreased (P

Objective To explore the latent class structure and heterogeneity of posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) in adolescent.Methods The Chinese PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) was used to assess 560 adolescent from the Wenchuan earthquake area.Latent Class Model was employed to analyze the data.Results Latent Class Analysis revealed four classes of adolescent PTSD sample:pervasive disturbance (n=115,20.5％),no disturbance (n=165,29.5％),Intermediate Symptom with high Emotional Numbing (n=188,33.6％),as well as Intermediate Symptom with low avoidance (n=92,16.4％).The proportion of boys in each subsample were 55.7％,49.7％,50.5％ and 50.4％,respectively.In addition,there was no significant gender difference of prevalence within each class (x2=1.56,P=0.669).Conclusions Four-class model best fit the data for PTSD symptoms,and different clinical intervention should be adopted.

Cardiovascular diseases, like coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction, are the most common cause of death worldwide. Chinese medicines have demonstrated rich cardioprotective activities for clinical applications. Salvia miltiorrhiza, a very important component of traditional Chinese medicine, can promote blood circulation and relieve blood stasis. Salvia miltiorrhiza is widely used in treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease such as coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction ( CI). Tanshinone II(A), the major lipophilic components extracted from the root of S. miltiorrhiza, possesses anti-atherosclerosis, anti-cardiac hypertrophy, anti-oxidant, anti-arrhythmia and so on. This paper discusses current research status of tanshinone II(A) in cardioprotective effects.

BackgroundThe study of myopia development is always the hotspot worldwide. Recently,scientist found that some growth factor secreted by retinal nerve epithelium cells and retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)cells are associated with the development of myopia. Whenever, the absorption of RPE cells to different wave-length lights is different. ObjectiveThis study was to investigate the effects of different wave-lengths lights on the proliferation of human RPE cells, and explore the influence of different wave-lengths lights on RPE cells secreting hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) ,basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β).Methods The fourth to fifth passages of human embryonic RPE cells were exposed to blue light( λ =480 nm),red light( λ =775 nm) and white light. The cells of control group were harvested in normal condition. The proliferation and growth of RPE cells were assayed by MTT,and the ultrastructure of cells was examined under the transmission electron microscopy at 48 hours after light exposure of RPE cells. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was adopted to determine the concentrations of HGF,bFGF and TGF-β in the culture medium in 12,24,48,72 hours. The expression of HGF mRNA in RPE cells was detected by RT-PCR. This study was approved by Ethic committee of Fudan University. ResultsThe A490 values of the cells exposed to blue light,red light,white light and white light were 0. 0218±0. 0014 ;0. 0353±0. 0025 ;0. 0371 ±0. 0024 and 0. 0445 +0. 0046 respectively with the significant difference among 4 groups ( F =12. 579, P＜0.05 ), and A490 value in blue light group, red light group were significantly lower than that of the control group ( t =2.043 ; t =2.024, P＜0.05 ). ELISA showed that the concentrations of HGF and TGF-β in culture medium were evidently elevated as the prolongation of light exposure in various light exposure groups in 72 hours(HGF) and 48 hours(TGF-β) compared with 12 hours with a predominating rise in the control group. The statistically significant differences were found in the concentrations of HGF and TGF-β between control group and blue light group or red light group in the( all P＜0. 05 ). The bFGF level was decreased with the time increase of various light exposure with the significant differences in 72 hours compared with 12 hours( P＜0.05 ). RT-PCR revealed the considerable difference about expression of HGF mRNA in RPE cells among these four groups( P＜0. 05 ), and the lest expression in HGF mRNA was in the blue light group compared with control group( t =3. 972,P＜0.05 ). Thinning of the chromatin, decreasing of organelle and loss of cellular membrane were seen in the blue light group, but no obvious change of ultrastructure of human embryo RPE cells was found in the ret and white light groups. ConclusionsThe irradiation of different wave-length light can effect the growth and proliferation and secretion of HGF,bFGF and TGFβ in human RPE cells in vitro,implying myopia formation is associated to exposure of different wave-length light.

Objective To observe the effects of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the enteric motor function and acetylcholine esterase(AchE) neuron and nitric oxide synthase(NOS) neuron in the enteric nervous system,and explore the neuromechanism of the CO2 pneumoperitoneum on renteric motor function.Methods Thirty-six Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into experiment group(n=24) and control group(n=12).The experiment group was divided into two subgroups namely pneumoperitoneum 30min group and pneumoperitoneum 60min group(12 each) based on the maintenance time of pneumoperitoneum.Rats in each group were gavaged with medicinal carbon powder,and then the transmission of carbon powder in small intestine was determined.The spreading specimens of intestinal myenteric plexus of small intestine were prepared and the stained AchE and NOS neurons were observed and compared.Results The propellant velocity of carbon powder was slower in pneumoperitoneum 60min group than that in pneumoperitoneum 30min group and control group(28.55%?3.45% vs 45.90%?6.30%,48.25%?5.28%,P0.05).The number of positive expression of AchE neurons in intestinal myenteric plexus decreased in pneumoperitoneum 60min group compared with that in pneumoperitoneum 30min group and control group(48.00?3.16 vs 58.82?4.62,61.83?4.17,P0.05).The number of positive expression of NOS neurons in intestinal myenteric plexus increased in pneumoperitoneum 60min group compared with that in pneumoperitoneum 30min group and control group(42.17?4.45 vs 32.50?4.34,30.83?3.6,P0.05).Conclusions Prolonged CO2 pneumoperitoneum can affect or damage cholinergic neurons and nitroxidergic neurons in the enteric nervous system to some extent,and it may be the underlying mechanism of the intestinal motor dysfunction after operation.

In order to observe the replication and expression of HGV RNA genome in HepG2 cells and establish a cell model of HGV infection, HGV RNA genome was prepared in vitro and transfected HepG2 cells with lipofec-tamin. HGV RNA-positive supernatants were used to infect fresh HepG2 cells. RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blot assays were carried out to detect the replication and expression of HGV in HepG2 cells. Both positive and negative strands of HGV RNA could be detectable in cell culture supernatants and cells at 24h post-transfection. During the culture periods of 90 days, the cells were maintained by changing the medium every 3 or 5 days, and cultured for more than 20 passages. Both strands of HGV could be detectable in culture supernatants and cells. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot results also confirmed that HGV E2 protein could be expressed in the infected HepG2 cells. HGV RNA could also be detectable in the frozen-thawed HepG2 cells infected with HGV RNA genome. Therefore, HGV RNA genome can replicate and express in HepG2 cells, this HGV RNA genome transfected cells model could be used as a cell model in the studies of replication and infection of HGV.
