Objective: To investigate the effect of moxibustion on telomerase activity and genes expression in tissues of senescent rats. Methods: Subacute aging rats model were established by injection with D-gal solution. Points Shenshu (BL 23) were treated with moxibustion in treatment group, contrasting with a model group and a normal group. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays(ELISA) was used for the level oftelomerase activity in liver tissues, and In Situ Hybridization(ISH) was used for the condition of expression of telomerase genes in liver tissues. Results: The level of telomerase activity in the aging model group was obviously lower than that in normal control group (P<0.01), the level in moxibustion group was obviously higher than that in model group(P<0.05). In comparison with normal rats, the positive-expressed areas and photodensity of telomerase genes in aging model group were all significantly lower (P<0.01,P<0.01), and the positive-expressed areas in moxibustion group was significantly higher than that in model group (P<0.01). Conclusions: Moxibustion could regulate telomerase activity of senile rats, hence delaying aging.

Objective:To investigate the value of serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP-6) in prediction of rapidly progressive puberty(RPP) in girls.Methods:The data of 750 girls who visited the Department of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Genetic Disorders, Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from August 2017 to October 2018 because of breast development were retrospectively analyzed.After following up these girls for 6 months to 1 year, those who were lost to follow up, received early treatment and failed to meet the inclusion criteria were excluded.The remaining 138 girls were divided into the central precocious puberty group (CPP, 32 cases), the early puberty with RPP group (EP-RPP, 33 cases), the early puberty with slow progression puberty group (EP-SPP, 32 cases) and RPP group (41 cases) according to the inclusion criteria.The healthy control group consisted of 33 undeveloped girls aged 8 to 9 who underwent physical examination in the same hospital over the same period.The serum concentrations of IGF-1, DHEAS, AMH and BMP-6 were measured.The general information, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results and radiological features were compared among different groups.Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 22.0, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to investigate the value of IGF-1, DHEAS, AMH and BMP-6 in prediction of RPP.Results:(1)The serum follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) peak value was 15.10(13.86-19.80) IU/L in the EP-SPP group, 11.99(9.18-16.16) IU/L in the EP-RPP group and 11.43(9.37-15.63) IU/L in the RPP group.The ratio of serum FSH/luteinizing hormone(LH) peak values was 3.20(2.44-4.58) in the EP-SPP group, 1.86(1.05-3.16) in the EP-RPP group and 0.76(0.49-0.99) in the RPP group.The serum FSH peak value and the ratio of serum FSH/LH peak values in the EP-SPP group were significant higher than those in the EP-RPP group(all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the serum FSH peak value between the EP-RPP group and the RPP group( P>0.05). (2)The serum IGF-1 levels of the healthy control group, EP-SPP group, EP-RPP group, CPP group and RPP group were 166.00(126.50-188.00) μg/L, 199.00(170.50-262.50) μg/L, 252.00(233.00-291.50) μg/L, 288.00(252.00-376.00) μg/L and 382.00(264.0-499.50) μg/L, respectively.The serum IGF-1 levels of the EP-SPP group, EP-RPP group, CPP group and RPP group were all significantly higher than those in the healthy control group (all P<0.05). The serum IGF-1 levels in the EP-RPP group were higher than those in the EP-SPP group( P<0.01). As the puberty rapidly progressed, the serum IGF-1 levels gradually increased.The RPP group had the highest IGF-1 levels, and the difference in IGF-1 levels between the RPP group and EP-RPP group was statistically significant( P<0.01). (3)The serum DHEAS levels were 41.65(14.80-59.88) μg/L in the healthy control group, 42.50(30.15-79.83) μg/L in the EP-SPP group, 52.32(43.08-98.54) μg/L in the CPP group, 63.30(34.00-81.55) μg/L in the EP-RPP group and 70.89(51.85-100.02) μg/L in the RPP group.The DHEAS levels of the healthy control group, EP-RPP group and RPP group gradually increased.The RPP group had the highest DHEAS levels.There was significant difference in DHEAS levels among the healthy control group, EP-RPP group and RPP group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in DHEAS levels among the EP-SPP group, CPP group and EP-RPP group( P>0.05). (4)The serum AMH and BMP-6 levels in the EP-RPP group, EP-SPP group, RPP group, CPP group and healthy control group were not significantly different( P>0.05). (5)The area under the ROC curve of serum IGF-1 levels was 0.765, the cut-off value was 232.5 μg/L, the specificity for the cut-off value was 83.30%, and the sensitivity was 75.00%.The combined area under the ROC curve of the serum FSH peak value and the ratio of serum FSH/LH peak values was 0.795. Conclusions:Serum IGF-1 levels and the combination of the serum FSH peak value and the ratio of serum FSH/LH peak values can be used as effective indicators of slowly and rapidly progressive puberty in early adolescent girls.Serum DHEAS cannot be used as an early warning index of RPP, but it plays a critical role in the regulation of puberty initiation and process.Serum DHEAS levels may be related to the Tanner stage.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical short-term safety and efficacy between robotic right colectomy (RRC) and laparoscopic right colectomy(LRC) with meta-analysis.
METHODSA search of the Medline, Embase, Ovid, CNKI and WANFANG databases was performed for studies comparing clinical or oncologic outcomes of RRC with LRC before July 2014. The RevMan 5.2 software was used for meta-analysis. The operative time, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, conversion rate to open surgery, postoperative complications and related outcomes were evaluated.
RESULTSSix studies including 217 RRC cases and 400 conventional LRC cases were enrolled and analyzed. The meta-analysis showed that RRC had longer operative time (MD=48.05, 95% CI: 26.52 to 69.57, P<0.01), less estimated blood loss (MD=-17.74, 95% CI: -28.32 to -7.16, P=0.01), faster postoperative intestinal peristalsis recovery (MD=-0.79, 95% CI: -1.10 to -0.48, P<0.01), lower postoperative overall complications (OR=0.63, 95% CI: 0.42 to 0.93, P=0.02). Conversion rate and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups were not significantly different (all P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONCompared to LRC, RRC is associated with less estimated blood loss, faster postoperative intestinal peristalsis recovery, lower postoperative overall complications, and longer operative time.

Objective:To explore the influence of family function on the psychological resilience of mothers of premature infants.Method:Totally 2 836 mothers of premature infants who met the inclusion criteria were investigated with general information questionnaire, family APGAR index (APGAR) and Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) in three third-class A general hospitals and two specialty hospitals in Ningxia.SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between psychological resilience and family function of preterm mothers.Hierarchical regression was used to analyze the impact of family function on psychological resilience of preterm mothers.Results:Total score of resilience scale in mothers of premature infants was (68.38±16.59) and the total score of family function was (9.07±1.53). There were 1 550 cases with good family function and 1 286 cases with family dysfunction.The total score of psychological elasticity and the score of all dimensions in the group with good family function were higher than those in the group with family dysfunction( P<0.05). The total score of psychological elasticity ( r=0.771, P<0.01) and self-improvement ( r=0.410, P<0.05), tenacity ( r=0.492, P<0.01), optimism( r=0.438, P<0.05) were positively correlated with family function.Stratified regression analysis showed that cooperation( β=1.016) and intimacy( β=0.389) were the important influencing factors of preterm mothers' psychological resilience ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Psychological resilience of mothers of premature infants is closely related to their family function.Good family function can help mothers of premature infants improve their psychological resilience and promote their mental health.

Objective:
To investigate the association between gene polymorphism of vesicular monoamine transporter type 2(VMAT2) and schizophrenia in Han Chinese population.
Methods:
430 patients with schizophrenia and 470 age-sex matched controls were recruited from four mental health centers. All patients were diagnosed by two psychiatrists based on the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders (SCID). The ligase detection reactions (LDR) method was used to assess the polymorphism of the two SNPs (rs363371 and rs363324) of VMAT2.
Results:
No associations of two SNPs with schizophrenia was found. When we stratified males and females for the analysis, we found that that in the recessive model of rs363371, there was an obvious significant association between rs363371 and schizophrenia in males (OR=0.564, 95% CI=0.357–0.892, p=0.014) but not females. For the association between rs363324 and schizophrenia, no association was found in either males or females. No association was found when stratifying early-onset schizophrenia and late-onset schizophrenia.
Conclusion
Our findings indicate that both rs363371 and rs363324 were not associated with schizophrenia, while it seemed that the AA genotype of rs363371 plays a protective effect in male Chinese in developing schizophrenia.
