Objective To assess the status of mental health of nursing students of secondary technical school and provide targeted guidance for mental health education. Methods 642 nursing students of secondary technical school were assessed using Mental Health Diagnostic Test Scale (MHT Scale). Results There were 0.78% of nursing students with serious psychological problems (scores≥65), 4.52% of nursing students with less serious psychological problems (scores < 65 and≥ 56). Students in different grades had significant difference in learning anxiety, allergic tendency, physical symptoms anxiety. Conclusions Nursing students of secondary technical school were in good mental health in general, but there were many students had learning anxiety, allergic tendencies and physical symptoms anxiety, which were different among various grades. Secondary nursing schools should further strengthen the mental health education, and seek close collaboration with parents,provide appropriate intervention measures to the nursing students with psychological barriers, in order to enhance the overall mental health of nursing students.

To address the role of Pr1 gene in the process of Hirsutella sinensis infecting Hepialus gonggaensis, differential expression of subtilisin-like protease gene was detected. In the present study, Pr1 gene analogues from H. sinensis were obtained by PCR strategy using specific primers designed from conserved regions of Pr1 gene reported in the GenBank. Then we detected the changes in the expression of Pr1 gene before and after infecting H. gonggaensis using real-time quantitative PCR. We obtained the partial sequence of Pr1 gene with the length of 535 bp (GenBank accession: KC009680). Real-time PCR results showed that the expression level of Pr1 gene was significantly different among 8 samples (P < 0.01). Pr1 gene showed the obvious higher expression level (2-3 folds) after infecting the H. gonggaensis, suggesting that the Pr1 gene may play an important role in the process of H. sinensis infecting H. gonggaensis. The present study paves a way for further identification on infectivity assessment of H. sinensis.

[Objective]To explore the optimal time for the surgical operation on patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine. [Methods]The clinical symptoms,the persistent time of the symptoms and the interval from exacerbation to operation in 168 patients with OPLL were analyzed.[Results]The average time was 27.6 months from the onset of myelopathy to the operation on patients with OPLL,and 17.4 months from the decrease of muscle strength in extremities to the operation,and 5.3 months from the symptomatic exacerbation of the extremities especially the decrease of muscle strength in lower extremities to the operation.[Conclusion]The patient should be treated earlier by surgical operation after his/her illness has been diagnozed as OPLL.It is the optimal time for surgical operation when the patient has imaging change of hypertrophy or ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and severe compression of spinal cord(more than 60% spinal canal stenosis),or the decrease of muscle strength in extremities especially in lower extremities.

Objective To summary the experience in diagnosis and surgical treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Methods The clinical data and follow-up results of 167 cases of DTC were retrospectively analysed. Results (1) The accurate rate of preoperative cytology diagnosis was 76.9%(97/126). (2)121 patients were diagnosed as thyroid carcinoma before or during operation. Histologic examination after primary operation revealed that the carcinoma spread to the isthmus and the opposite lobe in 5 cases. 57 cases were followed up with only 2 cases recurred 2 and 3 years after the operation, and 3 died 6 to 10 months after operation. (3)87.5%(42/48)cases of the reoperation were due to misdiagnosis as benign lesions in primary operation. Histologic examination revealed that residual tumor in the remnant thyroid tissue was found in 45.2%(19/42)cases, and residual tumor in the lymph nodes of the suffered side in 19.0%(8/42)cases. 30 cases were followed up without any recurrence. Conclusions (1) Cytological diagnosis must be paid great attention to preoperatively; (2) Excision of the suffered lobe, isthmus and greater partial of the opposite lobe, along with clearing the enlarged lymphnodes of the isolateral side are generally performed for the DTC; (3) Reoperation due to misdiagnosis as benign lesions in primary operation must remove the remnant tissue of thyroid and the isolateral lymphnodes. The cases should also be followed up even if enough excising is performed in primary operation.

Objective To establish a cell level-based negative enrichmen technique to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.Methods The colon cancer SKOV-3 cells were mixed with 2 ml whole blood from healthy donors at different ratio.Quantification of CTCs was performed using immunomagnetic bead based negative enrichment combined with immunofluorescence antibody method.The method was evaluated the recovery rate of target cells,Samples of 32 patients with ovarian cancer and 10 controls were assayed for CTCs detection by above method.Results ①The recovery rate was ranging from 64％ ～80％ by spiking varying numbers of SKOV-3 into 2 ml blood samples of healthy volunteers.Regression analysis of number of recovered SKOV-3 cells yielded a regression equation of Y=0.782X-1.408 and a coefficient of determination of R2 =0.998.②Did not detect CK8/18-+ circulating tumor cells in 10 controls,and CK8/18+ circulating tumor cells in 18 cases of 32 Patients with ovarian cancer.The positive rate of CK 8/18 + circulating tumor cells was significantly differences between the two groups (x2 =7.681,P＜0.01).③The presence ofCTCs was significantly correlated with distant metastasis (x2 =5.776,P＜0.05).Conclusion The method of immunomagnetic bead based negative enrichment combined with immunofluorescence antibody technique for CTCs detection in peripheral blood of patients with ovarian cancer has a clinical value of application and extension.

Spermicidal effect of Jieze No. 1 (JZ1) in combination with nonoxynol-9 (N-9) was examined in vitro. The minimum spermicidal concentration of JZ1 decoction, N-9 and their mixture solution in 20 s and 3 min were examined by improved spermicidal test of Sander-cramer in vitro. The percentages of progressively moving spermatozoa, moving spermatozoa and viable spermatozoa were also observed 20 s, 3 min and 30 min after the addition of the liquid medicine. Our results showed that sperms did not recover their activities in a revival test when the minimum spermicidal concentration of either JZ1 decoction, or N-9, or the mixed solution of the two agents, was used. N-9 (JZ1 in the mixed group) showed significant differences in the percentages of progressively moving spermatozoa, moving spermatozoa, and visible spermatozoa in 20 s, 3 min, and 30 min, when compared with N-9 alone (P < 0.01). We are led to conclude that JZ1 decoction can improve N-9 spermicidal action in vitro, and when used in combination with N-9, it has synergic effect.
