BACKGROUND:Silk fibroin/mesoporous glass ceramic composites have been reported to exert satisfactory repair outcomes in bone defects and hold good biocompatibility. However, the biosafety and preparation methods are rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the preparation method and treatment outcomes of silk fibroin/mesoporous bioactive glass ceramic in skul repair. METHODS:Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were enrol ed to establish the skul defect models and were thenrandomized into two groups:fibroin/mesoporous glass ceramic materials and silk fibroin were respectively implanted into the defect region in experimental and control groups. At 4 and 8 weeks after implantation, the CT examination and histological observation were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:CT examination showed that at 4 weeks after implantation, the defect area in the experimental group diminished in size, showing more dense new bones. The defect area of the control group was reduced, and a smal amount of new bones were observed. At 8 weeks after implantation, bone defect repair was completed in the experimental group, but not in the control group. The bone volume in the experimental group was significantly larger than that in the control group at different time points after implantation (P<0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin staining found that at 4 weeks after implantation, in the experimental group, there was new bone between the implant and the bone, which did not cause inflammation;there were few new bones and fibrous tissues in the control group. At 8 weeks after implantation, many new bones formed in the experimental group, with similar morphology to the host bone and the scaffold was degraded completely. Conversely, the implant material stil existed in the control group. In conclusion, the silk fibroin/mesoporous glass ceramic composite can promote bone repair.

Objective : To explore the mediating effect of sleep quality on mobile phone dependence and loneliness in university students, so as to provide evidence for prevention and intervention of mobile phone dependence. Methods : A survey was conducted from December 2019 and January 2020 among the students of Guangzhou Medical University. The general information questionnaire, mobile phone dependence index scale, UCLA loneliness scale and Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale were used to analyze the mediating effects of sleep quality on mobile phone dependence and loneliness. Results : A total of 575 questionnaires were distributed and 573 valid ones were collected, with an efficiency of 99.65%. The detection rate of 115 students with mobile phone dependence was 20.07%, and that of 203 students with sleep quality problems was 35.43%. The students scored ( 48.03±6.07 ) points in loneliness, and 405 of them had high level. Mobile phone dependence was positively correlated with loneliness and sleep quality ( r=0.299, 0.385, both P<0.05 ); loneliness was positively correlated with sleep quality ( r=0.553, P<0.05 ). Mobile phone dependence and sleep quality both could positively predict loneliness, mobile phone dependence could positively predict sleep quality, and sleep quality and gender had a significant interaction effect on loneliness ( all P<0.05 ). The mediating effect value of sleep quality on mobile phone dependence and loneliness was 0.290 ( 95%CI: 0.186-0.400 ) in males and 0.131 ( 95%CI: 0.084-0.187 ) in females. Conclusion Sleep quality has a mediating effect on mobile phone dependence and loneliness among university students. Male students are susceptible to the negative effects of mobile phone dependence.
