1.Theoretical model of stress response to critical incidents
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2006;10(2):164-166
BACKGROUND: Critical incidents are natural and man-made disasters arising suddenly, which are beyond the ability of the individuals to resist or control. In the situation of stress, individuals feel stuck, and are unable to control the situation.OBJECTIVE: To confirm the assessment model of stress response to critical events and the interventional effect of social support, general self-efficacy and coping efficacy.DESIGN: A randomized sampling, questionnaire-based investigation.PARTICIPANTS: We selected 1016 college students of 17 provinces or cities including Beijing, Guangzhou, Hefei, Jilin, Jiangsu, Jiangxi , Liaoning, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Shandong , Shanghai, Hebei, Tianjin,Wuhan, Zhejiang , Chongqing and so on as subjects. Totally 708 college students selected from the above regions received the same survey one year later.METHODS: Depression and anxiety state of the subjects were investigated with Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD)and Anxiety Inventory (SAS) during SARS. Social support condition was investigated with Social Support Rating Scale, authorized by Xiao Shuiyuan. Related items were amended considering used among college students. The subscale was integrated into 3 subscales including group-support, friend-support and social support utilization. One year later, stress response to SARS was investigated again with self-made coping efficacy scale, self-esteem scale and self-efficacy scale and SARS Stress Response Questionnaire, which included 13 items measuring the students in three aspects: cognitive evaluation to SARS epidemic, such as "I believe human beings can conquer SARS in the end"; panic to SARS, like "worrying about SARS sweats me and makes me feel shiver sometimes"; and defense response to SARS, as "In order to prevent SARS, I have to wear respirator in the public". As far as cognitive, panic emotion and defense behaviors were concerned. The coping efficacy developed by the author covered 18items, such as "I'm afraid that I can not deal with things", "I have enough confidence to conquer any difficulty", and namely as friability, confidence and intelligence.RESULTS: ① The two investigated results were compared through assessment of covariation. There was a significant difference in cognitive condition, panic emotion and defense behavior; that was to say, the stress response to SARS had been obviously relieved . ② Social support and SARS stress response model x2=8.654,df=4,P=0.07;criterion fit index NFI= 1, RFI =0.997 and IFI =1, RMSEA=0.034. ③self-efficacy confirmative factor analysis showed the following: x2=0.536,df=2,P=0.765;x2/df=0.268, NFI=1, RFI=1, IFI=1 and CFI=1, RMSEA=0.000. ④The discriminating and convergent validity of coping efficacy questionnaire was as follows. The coefficient was 0.633 with general efficacy questionnaire, 0.530 with self-respect (SES), 0.481 with CESD, 0.387 with anxiety (SAS), and -0.003 with living events. ⑤ A structural equation model about general self-efficacy, coping efficacy and SARS stress response was established: x2 =2.722 df=3, P=0.437; NFI=1, RFI=0.999,IFI=1, CFI=1, RMSEA=0.068. The model fitted well. According to the data, coping efficacy affected SARS stress response negatively (the coefficient was -0.59)CONCLUSION: ① The three-dimensional assessment model assessed the stress response to critical incidents including cognitive adjustment, emotional response and behavioral tendency. The three-dimensional model stood the test while assessing SARS stress response. Compared with the assessment of emotional disorders, such as depression and anxiety, the model was more sensitive. ②Social support played a vital role in the stress response to critical incidents as a buffer or a regulator. It showed more influence on emotional disorders than on SARS stress response. ③Coping efficacy was a measurable intervening variable, which deserves more attention to in the stress response to critical incidents. Compared with general self-efficacy, coping efficacy had a greater intervening effect on SARS stress response.

Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2009;41(6):699-701
Objective:To establish an in vitro root canal model infected by Enterococcus faecalis and to observe the morphology, distribution and relative position of Enterococcus faecalis in infected root canals.Methods: Ten human healthy premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons were collected. Following sterilization , a total of 5 specimens were aseptically transferred to separate Eppendorf tubes containing 1. 5 mL brain-heart infusion broth (BHI) inoculated with 0.1 mL Enterococcus faecalis suspension that had been adjusted to Mcfarland 5, and were incubated at 37℃ for 21 days. The other 5 specimens were as controls. The roots of all specimens were then split into two halves along the mesiodistal axis. One half was processed with light microscopic ( Brown & Brenn stain) to check the bacteria in dentinal tubules, and the other was observed with SEM to investigate the bacterial status in infected root canals. Results: Enterococcus faecalis could penetrate into the dentinal tubules about 330-1 000μm. A dense bacterial aggregation composed of Enterococcus faecalis and amorphous matrix was observed in the apical third of the root canals, whereas Enterococcus faecalis were seen free-floating or planktonic in the crown and middle third of the root canals . No microorganisms were found in the root canals of the controls. Conclusion:Enterococcus faecalis could form bacterial biofilm on the root canal walls and penetrate into the dentinal tubules. The in vitro model designed was simple, and had good practicability to make a further comparative evaluation of various antimicrobial methods in the reduction of intracanal bacteria.

10.Antiviral therapy for severe viral pneumonia
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2015;22(12):822-825
Adenovirus,respiratory syncytial virus,influenza virus type A and B,cytomegalovirus and EB virus are the mainly etiology of severe pneumonia in children.New type of virus,such as influenza-H1N1 virus,avian influenza virus(H5N1 or H7N9) can also be epidemic in pediatric population.Ribavirin is effective drugs in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus and adenovirus pneumonia.Acyclovir or ganciclovir is used for EB virus or immune deficiency and irnmunosuppressive patients with CMV pneumonia.Current opinin strongly recommend treatment with oral oseltamivir as soon as possible in influenza and seasonal influenza.Oseltamivir reduces the severity,duration of the symptoms of influenza,and reduces the frequency of secondary illnesses and exacerbation of underlying conditions.Zanamivir and peramivir may be effective in patients infected with influenza virus,including oseltamivir-resistant virus.Some Chinese medicine such as maxingshigan-yinqiaosan can obtain similar effect of oseltamivir in treatment of influenza virus infection.
