Objective To explore the relationship between field cognitive style and self-handicapping of medical students.Methods 124 medical students were measured by embedded figure test (EFT) and self-handicapping questionnaire (SHS).Results ①The scores of self-handicapping questionnaire were significantly different in whether they like their major or not(33.61±5.21,35.94±5.16,t=-0.218,P=0.031).Differences were also found in whether they could obtain the scholarships (33.20±6.19,35.12±4.12,t=-0.247,P=0.043),and in whether they were in a relationship(35.35±5.48,33.39±5.01,t=2.063,P=0.041).②Compared with field-independent cognitive style students,Field-dependent cognitive style students ' self-handicapping score was higher (35.69±3.91,32.63±6.08,t=3.303,P=0.001).③Field-dependent cognitive style,dislike their major and be in a relationship were the significant predictors of self-handicapping.Conclusion Correlation exists between field cognitive style and self-handicapping of the medical students.Students who belong to field-dependent cognitive style are more prone to self-handicapping than field-independent cognitive style students.

Objective To explore the relationship between polymorphisms of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) gene (rs6265 and rs12273539) and cognitive impairment in depressive disorder.Methods All participants including 73 depressed patients and 71 healthy controls were received clinical and cognitive assessments at admission,and then the depression group was divided into two groups by the score of Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BJ).One was depression with cognitive dysfunction group,and the other was depression without cognitive dysfunction group,with 36 and 37 cases respectively.The polymorphisms of BDNF gene was identified by PCR-RFLP.Results No significant difference for rs6265 gene types(x2=5.18,P=0.27),A allele carries (x2 =4.28,P=0.12) and G allele carries (x2 =1.95,P=0.38) among the three groups.There was no significant difference for rs12273539 gene types,allele carries between patients without cognitive dysfunction and controls groups(P＞0.05).There was much more C-allele carries (x2=5.40,P=0.02)and less T-allele(x2=6.06,P=0.01) in patients with cognitive disorder than those in health and it was different in rs12273539 gene types between the two groups(x2=8.38,P=0.02).CC/CT/CT gene type performed different on attention function (P＜0.01).Conclusion BDNF rsl2273539(T/C) gene type has relationship with the onset of cognitive disorder in depressed patients,and there are more C-allele carries in depressive patients.The depression patients with CC gene type are worse on the attention function impairement.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of cognitive dysfunction in patients with depression,and identify the correlation between cognitive dysfunction and serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) level.Methods All participants including 73 depressed patients and 71 healthy controls were received clinical and cognitive assessments at admission,the depression group was divided into two groups by the score of Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BJ),one was depression with cognitive dysfunction group which had 36 cases,the other was depression without cognitive dysfunction group which had 37 cases.Concentration of BDNF was measured by the ELISA method.Results Cognitive impairments were found in numerous cognitive domains of depressed patients,including visuospatial and executive abilities,attention,delayed recall and orientation(P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of cognitive dysfunction in depression was 49.3％.There was not significant difference between two depressive groups (depression with cognitive disorder(12.08 ± 7.08)ng/ml,depression without cognitive disorder (12.22 ± 7.93)ng/ml,P ＞ 0.05),and the levels were significantly lower than that in healthy people ((16.55 ± 7.47) ng/ml,P＜ 0.01),and serum BDNF level had no positively relevant with different cognitive functions (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Depression patients have cognitive dysfunction in numerous cognitive domains,including visuospatial and executive abilities,attention,delayed recall and orientation.Serum BDNF level is closely related with depression,while,it has no obvious relationship with cognition function in depression.

Objective To explore the relationship of attentional function,coping style and depressive symptoms in depression disorders.Methods Sixty-eight depression disorder and seventy-one normal healthy people were assessed by Hamilton depression scale(HAMD),coping style questionnaire and digit span forward.Independent samples t test and hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze all data.Resuits Compared with the control group,depressed patients had higher blaming(0.57 ± 0.29 vs 0.29 ± 0.25,P ＜0.01),wishful thinking(0.55 ± 0.22 vs 0.42 ± 0.26,P ＜ 0.01) and avoidant (0.63 ± 0.18 vs 0.46 ± 0.21,P ＜0.0l),lower problem solving (0.67 ± 0.23 vs 0.80 ± 0.18,P ＜ 0.01),rationalization (0.51 ± 0.20 vs 0.59 ±0.06,P＜0.01) and poorer attentional function(6.90 ± 1.65 vs 7.54 ±0.98,P＜0.01) ;but there was no significant differences in support seeking score.Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis revealed that,even when controlling for age,sex,low score of support seeking were independently predicted attentional function impairment (β =-0.25,P＜0.05).In addition,the use of support seeking was found to mediate the relationship between digit span forward and retardation completely.Conclusion Retardation indirectly influence the attention function by the mediating of support seeking.

AlM: To evaluate the effectiveness of Spot Vision Screener on vision screening of children without cycloplegia.METHODS:A total of 87 children (174 eyes) aged from 2~9 years old were examined with Spot Vision Screener and optometrist before cycloplegia.RESULTS: Statistical analysis demonstrated that the cylinder diopter and axis, the equivalent spherical diopter in both eyes, and the spherical diaopter in left eye had no significant change ( P>0. 05 ). However, the spherical diaopter in right eye had statistical significance. CONCLUSlON: Spot Vision Screener is a suitable instrument in vision screening of children without cycloplegia.

Objective To conduct a hiomechanical comparison of the four common internal fixation methods for the anterior eruciate ligament(ACL)avulsion fractures of displaced tibial eminence.Methods Sixteen fresh cadaver knee joints were used and randomized into four equal groups of four fixation methods:antegrade wiring group, retrograde wiring group,suturation group,and intramedullary screw group.The knee joint specimens were fixed at flexion of 30?and subject to continuous stretch stresses of 30 N,60 N and 90 N respectively on a material testing machine(MTS 858 Bionix test system,USA)which conducted a simulated Lachman test.The specimens were scanned at different angles by a three dimensional laser scanner.Data were recorded and processed by image software to es- tablish three-dimensional structure models of femur,tibia and knee joint.The test results were analyzed statistically on a computer.Results There were no obvious differences between each fixation group in the length change of ACL when the stresses were 30 N and 60 N(P＞0.05).Under 90 N stress,however,the mean length change between the femoral and tibial attachments of ACL was the smallest(4.8?1.7)mm(2.5 to 6.2 mm)in the suturation group(P＜0.05). There were no distinct differences between the intramedullary screw group and the retrograde wiring group in the changes of A CL shift(P=0.214).The average front shift in the retrograde wiring group was(6.2?1.2)mm(4.8 to 8.2 mm) and significantly smaller than that in the antegrade wiring group(P＜0.05).The antegrade wiring group made the largest average front shift under different stresses and its average front shift was(7.2?1.3)mm(5.6 to 8.7 mm). Conclusions The knee joint stability provided by the suturation fixation is distinctly better than that by the other three fixation methods.The antegrade wire fixation provides the poorest knee joint stability.There is hardly any difference between intramedullary screw fixation and retrograde wiring fixation.

Objective:To study the role of indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence imaging in laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS).Methods:The data of 4 patients who underwent ICG fluorescence imaging technology for LPS at Beijing Luhe Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from May 2017 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 females and 1 male, aged 46, 41, 27 and 12 years respectively. The extents of spleen preservation were compared between ICG fluorescence imaging with ordinary white light during operation. The residual splenic remnants were tested with fluorescence imaging after splenectomy, which showed fluorescence fading indicating good vascular perfusion.Results:ICG fluorescence imaging was performed on 4 patients. The operation time ranged from 180.0 to 250.0 min, and the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 40.0 to 200.0 ml. The postoperative hospital stay ranged from 4 to 14 days. There were no serious complications. Postoperative histopathology showed: splenic cyst ( n=1), splenic hemangioma ( n=2), and splenic laceration ( n=1). Conclusions:ICG fluorescence imaging technology had a significant role to play in partial splenectomy. This study showed this technique to improve safety of laparoscopic partial splenectomy.

The known members of inhibitor of growth (ING) gene family are considered as candidate tumor suppressor genes. ING4, a novel member of ING family, is recently reported to regulate brain tumour angiogenesis through transcriptional repression of NF-?B-responsive genes, induce G2/M arrest by the increased p21 expression in a p53-dependent manner, suppress the loss of contact inhibition and represses activation of the hypoxia inducible factor, which plays an important role in the progression of tumorigenesis. However, seldom studies about ING4 inducing tumor cells apoptosis were reported.The C6 cells (mouse glioma cells) were infected respectively with the blank adenovirus carrying GFP (Ad) and the recombinated Ad-hING4-His, then RT-PCR assay was used to detect the transcriptions of hING4, as well Western-blotting assay was ued to detect the expressions of hING4. The effects of hING4 expression upon C6 cells were observed, and the growth curve was drawed and tumor control rates were calculated. The C6 cells, which were affected by blank Ad and Ad-hING4-His, were respectively observed by LSCM (laser scan confocal microscope) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), detected by flow cytometry; and the genomic DNA of both groups were extracted and electrophoresised in agarose gel to examinate the DNA fragments. The results showed hING4 can significantly inhibit the growth of C6 cells by promoting the cell’s apoptosis, which probably is the first one to prove this property of ING4.The experimental and theoretical foundation for gene therapy for gliomas with ING4 in the future was established.
