Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2010;19(7):638-640
Objective To analysis the relationship among stressors,stress medi-factors and mental health of left-behind junior middle school students( JMSS) ,and to built a structural equation model on psychological stress of left-behind JMSS. Methods 1309 left-behind JMSS in rural areas in Hunan were assessed,using self-designed Demographic Data Recording Form , Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List, Scale of APGAR,Perceived Social Support Scale,Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire,Eysenck Personality Questionnaire,Self-Esteem Scale and Scale of Mental Health for Chinese Middle-school Student. Results Life events (r = 0.08) influenced mental health directly,and it influenced mental health indirectly by acting on negative coping styles(r=0.01) and APGAR (r= -0.02). Social support(r= -0.02) ,self-esteem(r = 0.03) ,negative coping styles(r=0.07) ,positive coping styles (r= -0.04),P (r = 0.03) and N (r = 0.04) also influenced mental health directly. E(r = 0. 21) ,N(r = -1.87) and P(r= -0.83) and APGAR(r=0. 10) influenced mental health indirectly by the mediation of self-esteem; APGAR(r = 4. 89) influenced mental health by the mediation of social support. Conclusion Personality (P,N),life events, social support, APGAR, positive and negative coping styles, self-esteem impact on mental health of rural junior middle school students in different ways.

Objective To assess the level of environmental hormone (EH) in Lanzhou reach of the Yellow River and to find the pollutant sources and pollution routes. Methods Solid phase extraction (SPE), gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography (GC-FID) were employed to determine EH in the water samples. Results 10 kinds of EH were detected, of which 6 were the priority control pollutants determined by the American EPA and 6 were predominant pollutants in China. 10 EH detected in Lanzhou reach of the Yellow River included naphthalene, phenanthrene, DBP, DEHP and benzothiazole and the detection rates of the five EH were 40%, 60%, 100%, 100% and 20% respectively. Conclusion The predominant environmental hormone pollutants in Lanzhou reach of the Yellow River are PAEs, PAHs, heterocycles, phenols and the main source of these pollutants is the waste water of petroleum chemical industry.

Objective To investigate the impact of aging and weight bearing on cartilage endplate morphology and chondrocyte apoptosis in rats. Methods The bipedal rat model (n=45) was developed by forelimb amputation and special breeding methods. The normal rats of the same age served as the control group (n=40). When the rats became 3, 6, 9, and 12 months old, 8 rats randomly selected from each group were sacrificed and paraffin-embedded mid-sagittal sections of the L4-5 spine were obtained. Sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and the TUNEL procedure was performed. The numbers of apoptotic cells and viable cells in the cartilage endplates of the intervertebral discs were counted, the thickness of the cartilage endplate was measured and the degree of impairment of the cartilage endplate was evaluated. Results Apoptosis first appeared in the cartilage endplate, then increased with aging and resulted in a remarkable decrease in cell density. The apoptotic rate of chondrocytes within the cartilage endplate of the bipedal rat model group was significantly higher than the control group at the 6-month time point. A statistically significant difference was observed in the bipedal rat model group between the 6-month time point and 9-month time point (P<0.05). Correlation analyses indicated that there was a highly negative correlation between the number of the viable cells of the cartilage endplate and the degree of the cartilage endplate degeneration (r=-0.97, P<0.05). Compared with the naturally aged group, the bipedal rat model group experienced more severe degeneration in the structure of the cartilage endplate, more obvious thickening of the cartilage endplate's calcified layer, and more defects in the structure of the cartilage. Conclusions Besides aging, weight bearing is probably a key factor of the increase of chondrocyte apoptosis and the degeneration of vertebral cartilage endplate.
