Objective To explore airway remodeling and air trapping in asthmatic patients with low dose CT scanning and quantitative analysis. Methods 52 stable asthmatic patients in which 29 were severe and 23 were slight,and 20 healthy control cases were underwent low dose dual phase CT scanning. The LA/BSA, WA/BSA, TA/BSA, WA%and Pi10WA were analyzed as airway remolding indexes. The MLD of expiratory, VI-850 (%) of expiratory, MLD E/I, VI-850E-I (%) and VI-850/-950E-I (%) were analyzed as air-trapping indexes. One-Way ANOVA or H Kruskal-Wallis was used to analyze the above indicators. Results Airway remodeling indexes and LA/BSA were (9.6 ± 2.6), (11.0 ± 3.4) and (12.6 ± 3.0)mm2/m2 in severe asthmatics group, non-severe asthmatics group and healthy control group respectively, and there was significant difference between the three groups (F=5.60, P=0.006). WA%of each group was (65.1 ± 2.5)%, (63.3 ± 4.4)%and (62.0 ± 3.0)%, and there was significant difference between the three groups (F=5.53,P=0.006). The Pi10WA was (18.4±2.6), (17.7±3.1) and (16.4±1.4) mm2 respectively with significant difference between the three groups (F=3.59 ,P=0.033). Air-trapping indexes, MLD of expiratory of each group was-(771 ± 59),-(724 ± 43) and-(676 ± 60) HU respectively with significant difference (F=5.60, P=0.006). VI-850(%) of expiratory of each group was 30.79(30.45)%, 13.53(12.09)%and 2.85(6.87)%respectively with significant difference (H=17.20,P<0.001). Conclusions Low dose of CT scan and quantitative analysis can provide an objective and quantitative information for patients with airway disease of asthma, and both WA% and Pi10WA were objective indexes. The severe asthmatic patients were associated with obvious airway remodeling and air trapping compared with non-severe asthmatic patients.

Objective To explore the association between serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy) and relation factors in the patients with manic episodes of bipolar Ⅰ disorder(BD).Methods The case-control study was used for this study.A total of 73 inpatients with manic episodes of BD(patient group) and 39 healthy individuals (control group) were enrolled.Diagnosis was made according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ) criteria.Serum levels of Hcy was measured by enzymatic cycling assay.Young Mania Rating Scale(YMRS) were used to assess the severity of clinical symptoms of patients.Results There was a statistical difference in serum Hcy levels between patient group ((16.89± 14.67)μmol/L) and control group ((10.61±6.46) μmol/L) (P＜0.01),and serum Hcy levels was higher in men((20.42± 16.52) μmol/L) than that in women((10.87±8.02) μmol/L) in patients group(P＜0.05).The prevalence rate of high Hcy was 35.6％ in the patient group and 13.5％ in the control group(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed body mass index(BMI) had positive correlation with serum levels of Hcy (r=0.317,P＜0.05).Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed male,BMI were associated with serum levels of Hcy among the patients (all P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Serum Hcy levels in the patients with manic episodes of bipolar Ⅰ disorder increase,and it is associated with gender and BMI.

Objective To investigate the serum levels of uric acid (UA) in bipolar disorder patients and their clini?cal significance. Methods Serum levels of UA was measured in 126 bipolar disorder patients including 77 mania pa?tients and 49 depression patients, 69 first-episode schizophrenic patients and 126 healthy controls (control group). Bipo?lar disorder patients was assessed by using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Results The serum UA levels were significantly higher in bipolar group [(349.34 ± 107.21) μmol/L] than in schizophrenic group [(319.71±84.48)μmol/L] and in control group [(280.94±71.90)μmol/L] (P<0.01). There were signifi?cant differences in serum UA levels between manic episode and depressive episode [(366.45 ± 104.01) μmol/L vs. (322.45±107.69)μmol/L]. The serum UA levels were higher in both manic episode and depressive episode groups than in control group (P<0.01). The serum UA levels was not significantly different between patients with and without medication (P>0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the correlation of serum UA levels with YMRS scores and HAMD scores was not significant in bipolar disorder patients (P>0.05). Conclusions Patients with bipolar disorder has elevated serum uric acid levels which may be a biomarkers of bipolar disorder.

Objective: To investigate the social support of medical students during the outbreak of COVID-19 and its mediating effect on the correlation between epidemic exposure and depression with anxiety. Methods: A total of 5 593 medical students were enrolled, and Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and 7-tiem Generalize Anxiety Disorder Scale were used to measure. Results: The social support score of SSRS of male students was lower than that of female students (t=-4.36, P<0.05) and juniors and seniors scored lower than other grades(F=4.84, P<0.05). Epidemic exposure proportion was positively correlated with both depressive proportionand anxiety proportion(r=0.05, 0.06, P<0.01), while epidemic exposure and depressive proportion and anxiety proportion were negatively correlated with social support score(r=-0.05, -0.25, -0.19, P<0.01). After controlling for gender and grade, the mediating effect of social support in the correlation between epidemic exposure and depression accounted for 26.6% of the total effect, and the mediating effect of subjective support and supportive utilization was 32.3% and 25.7% respectively. After controlling for gender and grade, the mediating effect of social support in the correlation between epidemic exposure and depression accounted for 20.0% of the total effect, and the mediating effect of subjective support and supportive utilization was 15.9% and 12.2% respectively. Conclusion Social support has partially mediating effect in the correlation between epidemic exposure with depression and anxiety.

Objective: To explore the relationship among cognitive flexibility, depression and eating attitude of adolescents and the influencing factors of eating attitude. Methods: A total of 1 231 subjects were assessed using general information questionnaire, Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale 11 item(KADS-11), Cognitive Flexibility Inventory(CFI), Eating Attitude Test 26(EAT-26). Data were analyzed by independent sample t-test, univariate linear regression, spearman correlation analysis and Logistic regression. Results: There were significant differences in EAT 26 among adolescents between genders and between those with or without depression(P<0.01). Statistically significant differences were observed in CFI, flexible control and KADS 11 among adolescents with or without eating disorders(P<0.01). The scores of EAT 26 was negatively correlated with CFI (r=-0.19, P<0.01) and flexible control(r=-0.23, P<0.01). And there was a significant positive correlation between EAT 26 and KADS 11(r=0.23, P<0.01). Female(OR=2.40, 95%CI=1.87-3.23), depression (OR=1.76, 95%CI=1.35-2.29) and poor flexible control (OR=1.94, 95%CI=1.48-2.54) were risk factors for eating disorders. Conclusion Female, individuals with depressive symptoms or with poor flexible control ability are more likely to have eating disorders which need more attention.

Objective To summarize the practice experience of establishing a stable abdominal heart transplantation model combined with tail vein injection in mice. Methods In the preliminary experiment, 50 pairs of donor and recipient Kunming mice received isotransplantation, 40 pairs of donor and recipient C57BL/6J mice underwent isotransplantation. In the formal experiment, 10 pairs of donor and recipient C57BL/6J mice received isotransplantation, 30 pairs of Balb/c mice as the donor and C57BL/6J mice as the recipient received allotransplantation. The time of each step of the heart transplantation (including harvesting and dressing of the donor heart, vascular anastomosis of the recipient, etc.) was recorded. The duration of transplanted heart beat and the survival time of the recipient was observed daily after operation. The time required for tail vein injection in the transplanted mice was recorded. Pathological examination of the transplanted heart was performed at 30 d after isotransplantation (n=5) and 7 d after allotransplantation (n=5). Results In the formal experiment, the success rate of heart transplantation was 90%. The harvesting and dressing time of donor heart was (13.9±0.6) min. The cold ischemia time of the recipient was (14.2±1.2) min. The vascular anastomosis time was (34.2±3.1) min. The total operation time was (86.6±5.4) min. Postoperatively, the transplanted heart of the mice undergoing isotransplantation survived longer than 100 d. Pathological examination at postoperative 30 d demonstrated only a slight amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. The survival time of the mice receiving allotransplantation was (7.2±0.5) d due to rejection reaction. At postoperative 7 d, pathological examination showed a large quantity of inflammatory cells infiltrating into the myocardium, manifested with acute cellular rejection. The success rate reached 90% after over 200 times of tail vein injection. Conclusions In this study, a stable mouse abdominal heart transplantation model is successfully established. The mouse models in the preliminary experiment can be utilized for tail vein injection.

Objective:To study the effects of LY294002, a phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K) inhibitor, on the AKT/GSK3β/CRMP2 signaling pathway, and the effect of pathway alterations on the depression-like behavior and microtubulin proteins of SD rats.Methods:Sixteen adult male SD rats were randomly divided into LY294002 group and solvent DMSO group by blind method, 8 rats in each group.After anesthesia, the rats were subjected to stereotactic tube placement in the hippocampal CA1 area. After 1 week of the tube placement, stereoscopic injection of LY294002 or DMSO was given, and depression-like behaviors were detected. RT-qPCR technology was used to detect hippocampal AKT, GSK3β, CRMP2, and tubulin mRNA expression levels, and Western blot technology was used to detect the expression levels of hippocampal AKT, p-AKT, GSK3β, p-GSK3β, CRMP2, p-CRMP2, and microtubule dynamic-related proteins markers Acet-tubulin, Tyr-tubulin. Analysis and comparison of behavioral and molecular expression differences between the two groups were conducted.Results:The open field experiment showed that the central movement distance of the rats in the LY294002 group were significantly lower than those in the control group((3.64±2.17) cm, (31.51±12.68) cm; t=2.69, P=0.03), and the duration of the central area in the LY294002 group were also significantly lower than those in the control group((0.73±0.46)s, (4.85±2.10)s; t=2.33, P=0.04). The results of the forced swimming test showed that the immobility time of rats in the LY294002 group had upward trend, but the difference was not statistically significant. The sucrose preference results showed no significant difference in sugar water consumption between the two groups ( P>0.05). The RT-qPCR results showed that the expression level of CRMP2 mRNA in the LY294002 group decreased significantly ( P<0.05). Western blot results showed that compared with solvent DMSO group, the expression levels of p-AKT and p-GSK3β in the LY294002 group decreased ( P<0.05), the expression level of CRMP2 was decreased and the expression level of p-CRMP2 was significantly increased. At the same time, the expression level of Tyr-tubulin decreased, while Acet-tubulin level increased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:LY294002 affects AKT/GSK3β/CRMP2 signaling pathway, induces impairment of microtubular dynamic, and results in depression-like behavior in rats.

There were three new blood group systems including the KANNO blood group system, the Sid blood group system and the CTL2 blood group system (provisional status), have been registered by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) registered Science August 2019. The main reason for this update is that the significant SNPs of the KANNO blood group system (rs1800014) and the Sid blood group system (rs7224888) have been found through genome-wide association studies and whole exome sequencing. The new genetic evidences are consistent with the current immunological findings. In addition, although CTL2 antigen has been found on erythrocyte ghost (erythrocyte membrane) since 2017, CTL2 blood group system is still in provisional status due to lack of serological and genetic evidence. In this review, the experimental research advances of these three ISBT blood group systems and discuss the clinical value of the relevant researches was summarized briefly.
