BACKGROUND: Most of previous researches on the emotion regulation ability only took children as objects.There were very few studies to investigate the adolescents' emotion regulation ability.There are fewer researches tried to study over-province large sampling to get general situation of Chinese adolescents' emotion regulation ability. Very few studies have taken emotion regulation as independent factor and explored its developmental rules OBJECTIVE:To analyze the characters of grade and gender in emotion regulation ability of Chinese adolescents DESIGN:Cross-sectional sampling survey questionnaire with adolescents as subjects SETTING:Institute of Developmental Psychology of Beijing Normal University.PARTICIPANTS:Totally 11 855 students from junior and senior high schools in Beijing,Henan,Chongqing,Zhejiang and Xinjiang, 13 high schools are included.METHODS:The present study uses "the adolescents' emotion regulaPsychology Institute, Beijing Normal University) as measuring tool to grouply test with the class as a unit. The tests in the 5 districts were completed within 2 weeks. The questionnaire is a 5-point scale.The level of emotion regulation is the mean score of the 14 items. And the higher points means higher level of emotion regulation.in emotion regulation between different grades of adolescent.RESULTS:Main effect of gender is not significant (F(1.11843)=0.040,P=0.842),while main effect of grads is significant (F(5.11843)=101.437,P=0.000),and interaction effect between gender and grades is significant (F(5.11843)=3.812,P=0.002).CONCLUSION:The emotion regulation ability of adolescents increased with the increasing grade but being stable after grade 11;the girls' emotion regulation ability exceeds the boys' gradually in grade 11,and there is no difference in the emotion regulation ability between boys and girls in grade 12.

Objective To explore artifactual responses of auditory steady-state reponses (ASSRs) to bone-conduction stimuli.Methods The present study involved a group of subjects,aged between 5 to 39 months,with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing losse.Recorded were the reponses to multiple bone-conducted 0.5,1,2,4 kHz tone pips repeated at the rates of 77～101 Hz.All the subjects were sedated by Hydrate Chloride during the testing.Results Artifactual ASSRs were seen at 115 and 100.5 dB (re:1?N) (The above levels are equivalent to around 60 dB HL) at 1 and 4 kHz.No artifactual responses were recorded at 0.5 and 2 kHz stimuli at the maximum output level.Conclusion Bone-conducted hearing loss greater than moderate can not be tested reliablely due to artifactual responses and lower maximum output level than that of air conduction.

Objective To evaluate the results of the treatment and prevention measures for pathological dislocation of the hip following septic arthritis in the newborns. Methods Twenty cases undergone open reduction were studied restropectively. In addition, greater trochanterplasty was penformed in 15 cases, acetabularplasty in 14 cases, greater and lesser trochanterplasty in 2 cases. Rusults A successful rate of reduction achieved in 90％ of the patients; however, central reduction was achieved in only 38.8％ . 20 patients were followed-up for 6 months to 12 years. The stability and motility of the hip gradually improved in majority of the patients. The cases with severe destruction followed by absence of femoral head and neck had unsatisfactory results. Shortening deformity were found in six cases, and subluxation, dislocation, rigidity of the hip in one case each. Conclusion The greater trochanterplasty had a good result for reduction and maintaining the position. Early diagnosis and early open drainage were key measures for prevention of pathological dislocation of the hip resulting from the acute septic arthritis in the newborn.

Background Corneal walleye formation is a result of excessive corneal wound healing.Controlling the corneal trauma or excessive healing reaction after operation of penetrating corneal trauma is a focus in the study of corneal wound healing.Objective This study was to investigate the changes of corneal strength and the expression of keratocan,a marker of corneal stroma,after corneal penetrating injury operation,and to determine the optimal removal time of corneal suture.Methods Full-thickness incisions of 5 mm along the vertical diameter were done at the central cornea on 80 eyes of 80 six-month-old New Zealand rabbits in this study.Then the incisions were interruptedly sutured with 10-0 nylon thread to establish the corneal wound healing models.Each 4 rabbits were sacrificed in 1 week,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 weeks after operation,respectively,and the central corneal stripes were prepared with the size of 7 mm×5 mm.The mean maximal strength of the corneal bands was measured by uniaxial tensile test with electroforce3220-AT biomachanics machine.Then,each 6 whole corneas were obtained at the above time points,and the dynamic changes of keratocan mRNA expression in the specimens were detected by reverse trancription PCR (RT-PCR).The care and use of the animals followed the rules of ARVO.Results The mean maximal strength of corneal stripes was 0,(1.007 ± 0.041),(1.991 ± 0.034),(2.512 ± 0.030),(3.630 ± 0.049) and (4.935 ± 0.004)M Pa in 1 week,2,3,4,5,6 weeks after modeling,and the corneal strength values from 3 weeks through 6 weeks were significantly enhanced in comparison with the value at the adjacent before timepoint (q =6.35,7.54,8.21,5.86,all at P＜0.01).The relative expression levels (absorbance) of keratocan mRNA in the corneas were 0.869±0.015,0.779 ± 0.065,0.621 ± 0.027,0.460 ± 0.018,0.393 ± 0.057 and 0.255 ± 0.045 in 1 week,2,3,4,5,6 weeks after operation,and each value was lower than that of the adjacent before timepoint (q =5.24,5.61,7.49,4.75,5.47,all at P＜0.01).The intensity of corneal stripes and the expression levels of keratocan mRNA in the corneas were stable in 7 weeks and 8 weeks after operation.Conclusions The dynamic change of corneal strength during the repair of penetrating corneal injury is associated with the down-regulation of keratocan in cornea.Rabbit cornea reaches a maximal strength capacity in 6 weeks after penetrating injury,therefore,it is the optimal time to remove suture.

Objective To discuss the effect of the quality control circle(QCC)activities in reducing the incidence of cold in reflux-enema of children.Methods The QCC team was built,reducing the incidence of cold in reflux-enema of children was named as the theme,to grasp the present situation,set the goal,fix the methods and carry out countermeasures.Results Through the development of QCC,making the standards of reflux-enema,the incidence rate of cold reduced from 25.0％(7/28) down to 3.6％(1/28),the nurses' abilities of technical operation and communication improved significantly.Conclusions Application of QCC in reflux-enema of children is practical.It can effectively improve the nurses' awareness of participating in the implementation management and nursing management system.By making the standardization of reflux-enema,nurses can improve the quality and effect of the reflux-enema and ensure the quality and safety of nursing.

Objective To observe the effects of creatine phosphate sodium on heart function and B -type natriuretic peptide in patients combination with ischemic cardiomyopathy and intractable heart failure .Methods 70 cases of coronary heart disease combined with ischemic cardiomyopathy and intractable heart failure were randomly ( with the random number table ) divided into the control group ( n=33) and the creatine phosphate sodium treatment group (n=37).The control group treated with conventional therapy (digitalis,diuretics,vasodilator,ACEI,et al) ten days;the treatment group with creatine phosphate sodium treatment on the basis of conventional therapy .The symp-tom,sign of the heart failure patients of the two groups before and after treatment were observed .NYHA cardiac func-tional grading were estimated.Echocardiography was used to detect left ventricular end -systolic diameter(LVESD), left ventricular end diastolic diameter ( LVEDD ) and left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF ); amino terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) tested by laboratory of the two groups.Drug treatment for 10 days,the chan-ges of the indicators before and after treatment were observed .Results After treatment , compared with the control group[(50.63 ±4.67) mm,(61.30 ±4.58) mm].LVESD,LVEDD of the creatine phosphate sodium treatment [(47.16 ±4.30)mm,(57.92 ±4.30)mm]significantly decreased(t=5.73,4.96,all P<0.01),LVEF[(40.57 ± 4.51)%,(37.63 ±4.53)%]increased significantly(t =5.53,P<0.01).After ten days of treatment levels of NT-proBNP decreased in both two groups [(1 659.±248.18) pg/mL,1 899.3 ±205.45] than before treatment [2 043.46 ±217.04,(2 105.46 ±239.09)pg/mL](t=3.23,3.64,all P<0.05),and the decrease degree of the creatine phosphate sodium treatment group was more obvious than those of the control group (t=4.11,P<0.05). Conclusion Creatine phosphate sodium can improve the cardiac function and left ventricular ejection fraction of ischemic cardiomyopathy and intractable heart failurepatients ,enhance the clinical symptoms of patients .

Objective To investigate the effects of high concentrations of iodide exposure on mitochondrial superoxide production,cell viability and cell damage in the thyroid of metallothionein Ⅰ/Ⅱ knockout (MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO) mice and corresponding wild type (WT) mice.Methods Thyroid cell suspension of six to eight weeks old healthy male MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO mice and WT mice were prepared.The thyroid cells were treated with high concentrations (10-4,10-3,10-2 mol/L) of potassium iodide(KI),or 10-3 mol/L hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) for 2 hours,respectively.Cell viability was evaluated with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay.Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level in cell culture medium was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Mitochondrial superoxide production in the thyroid cells was measured by flow cytometry using a fluorescent probe,mitochondrial superoxide(MitoSOX).Results Compared to the control group[(100.00 ± 0.00)％,(100.00 ± 0.00)％],the cell viability of 10-4,10-3,10-2 mol/L KI and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 exposure groups were significantly decreased in the thyroid cells of both WT [(73.63 ± 2.05)％,(72.41 ± 2.26)％,(69.63 ± 2.29)％,(44.90 ± 2.93)％] and MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO mice[(65.40 ± 2.39)％,(64.51 ± 2.27)％,(61.48 ± 2.33)％,(40.80 ± 2.76)％,all P＜ 0.05].Compared to the control group [(1 995.28 ± 30.52),(2 004.96 ± 19.71)U/L],significantly increased LDH activities were detected in the thyroid cells of WT [(2 809.22 ± 156.53),(2 850.80 ± 137.83),(2 920.45 ± 152.92),(4 487.49 ± 130.67)U/L] and MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO mice [(3 261.06 ± 120.44),(3 474.19 ± 142.15),(3 597.08 ± 150.86),(4 706.64 ± 148.57)U/L,all P ＜ 0.05].Compared to the control group (26.49 ± 7.66,37.11 ± 8.48),the MitoSOX red fluorescence intensities of 10-2 mol/L KI and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 groups were significantly increased in WT mice(58.96 ± 5.11,87.95 ± 4.25) and MT-Ⅰ/ⅡKO mice(71.21 ± 5.55,99.76 ± 4.42) by flow cytometry (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared to the thyroid cells in WT mice,significantly decreased cell viability (all P ＜ 0.05),significantly increased LDH activity(all P ＜ 0.05) and significantly increased MitoSOX red fluorescence intensity by flow cytometry (all P ＜ 0.05) were detected in the thyroid cells of MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO mice following treatment with KI or H2O2.Conclusions High concentrations of iodide (10-2 mol/L) and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 may lead to significant increase of mitochondrial superoxide production and LDH activity,decrease of cell viability in both WT and MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO mice.More significant increase of superoxide production is detected in MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO mice,indicating the potential protective role of metallothionein in the thyroid cells of WT mice.

Objective To explore the feasibility of using the consensus of European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People(EWGSOP) to diagnose sarcopenia among community-dwelling women aged from seventy to seventy-nine in Shanghai.Methods Twenty-two healthy community-dwelling women were recruited as the subject group(group S),and another ten young girls were randomly selected as the control group(group C).The anthropometry,bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)and dual energy X-ray absorptionmetry(DEXA)were used to evaluate the circumferences of upper and lower limbs,and the dimension of muscle mass,according to relative appendicular skeletal mass(RASM)and skeletal muscle index(SMI).The grip dynamometer and isokinetic dynamometer were used to measure the muscle strength of upper and lower limbs.The ten meters gait speed,functional reach test,timed up and go test,Berg balance scale and short physical performance battery were all applied to assess the physical performance.The criteria of EWGSOP consensus were applied to diagnose the situation of sarcopenia.Results Firstly,the average biceps circumference and fat mass of upper limbs in group S were significantly higher than group C (P＜0.01),while no significant differences were observed in the muscle mass(P＞0.05).Secondly,RASM values gained from BIA and DEXA in S group were significantly higher than C group(P＜0.05),while the SMI values of the former were significantly lower than the latter(P＜ 0.01).Thirdly,absolute grip strength,relative grip strength and other bio-mechanical indexes of lower limbs in the s group were significantly lower than the C group(P＜0.01);the relative grip strength showed significant correlation with most bio-mechanical indexes of lower limbs.Fourthly,the physical performance in group S declined significantly compared with that of the c group(P＜O.05),and no significant correlation was found between muscle strength and physical performance of upper limbs except the absolute grip strength and gait speed.The prevalence was 0％ according to the RASM index,while the prevalence was 63.6％ and 45.4％ according to the BIA and DEXA respectively.Conclusion The assessing pattern from EWGSOP consensus could not be simply copied to applying on Chinese old people due to serious difference between RASM and SMI.The combination of SMI+relative grip strength+ TUG/SPPB/Berg may be better than the classical mode of RASM+absolute grip strength+gait speed in diagnosing sarcopenia.
