Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2017;37(5):676-678
Objective · To test the effect of ego depletion and emotion regulation on students' health consumption choice, according to online social network. Methods · The undergraduate students in a university in East China were taken as the researchobject. Public health psychology experiments were designed, using Stroop priming the extent of ego depletion, and SSEIT measuring the extent of emotional regulation. Results · When participants experienced high level ego depletion, for those who possessed weak emotional regulation capability, they were more inclined to select less healthy food(77% vs 18%, χ2=15.40, P=0.000). For those who possessed strong emotional regulation capability, there was no significant difference on food choice between those who experienced high level ego depletion and those who experienced low level ego depletion (40% vs 27%, χ2=0.91, P=0.340).For participants who experienced high level ego depletion, compared to those who overcame ego depletion and those who experienced low level ego depletion, were moreinclined to select less healthy product (69% vs 23%, χ2=11.10, P=0.001), while there was no significant difference between those who experienced low level ego depletion and those who overcame ego depletion (32% vs 23%, χ2=0.51, P=0.470). Conclusion · When students experienced different level ego depletion, they chose different healthy consumption choice because of the different capability of emotional regulation. For students who possessed weak emotional regulation capability, they should be encouraged to choice healthy consumption, and interesting show should be organized to bring them positive emotion. They should also be encouraged to do long-term physical training to overcome the sensitivity tofatigue. Finally, They should be informed to realize the healthy consumption by active communication and interaction such as like, share and comment in social media.

5.Effect of sedation on respiratory function of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation
Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2017;29(9):857-860
Sedation and analgesia for ventilated patients is an important treatment in intensive care unit (ICU). Patients receiving mechanical ventilation therapy comfortably and safely can improve patient-ventilator synchrony, reduce ventilation-related lung injury (VILI), improve compliance, decrease oxygen consumption and stress, prevent accidents, and reduce the incidence of complications and mortality in critical patients. Although sedation mayprotect lung function, it also has a greater impact on respiratory function. Therefore, based on domestic and overseas related researches about sedation therapy in ventilated patients, we expounded on the effects of sedation therapy, different sedatives and different sedative methods on respiratory function of ventilated patients. The effects of sedation improving patient-ventilator synchrony or protecting pulmonary function as well as problems about inhibition of spontaneous respiration or delayed extubation were discussed to provide references for sedation treatment in patients with mechanical ventilation.

Objective To investigate the differentially expressed genes in sporadic parathyroid adenomas using genechip and provide basis for further studying the mechanism and diagnosis of sporadic parathyroid adeno-mas. Methods Total RNA was extracted from normal parathyroid tissues and adenomas tissues. The mRNA was used to prepare probes. The mixed probes were hybridized to the cDNA microarray. After washing, the DNA chips were scanned by laser scanner. The acquired image was analyzed. Results Among the 47 000 target genes, 2302 genes were identified in sporadic parathyroid adenomas tissues that had at least two-fold changes compared to normal parathyroid tissues, and 1012 genes up-regulated and 1290 down-regulated were found in this study. Of 10 genes up-regulated and 27 down-regulated, the changes were over five-fold. The function of these changed genes was involved in transport, cell adhesion, signal transduetion, transcription, ion binding and so on. Conclusions Many parathyroid adenomas associated genes have been screened by high-throughout gene chip method, Which may help to identify the mechanism and diagnosis of sporadic parathyroid adenomas.
