Objective To explore the care burden and its influencing factors of primary caregiver of patients with spinal cord injury. Methods A total of 120 primary caregiver of spinal cord injury patients were selected as research object. The general information of SCI patients and their primary caregiver were investigated by SCI patient general data questionnaire and primary caregiver in SCI patient general data questionnaire, caregiver burden of spinal cord injury were investigated bycaregiver burden inventory. The relationship between the general information of patients and caregivers and the care burden analyzed. Results Caregiver burden of elderly patients was significantly lower than that of younger ones (F=54.053,P<0.01). The more serious of spinal cord injury, the higher of care burden (F=315.104,P<0.01). The patients with neck and multiple segmental spine injury and postoperative complications had a higher care burden (F=199.203,t=6.462, 32.195,P<0.01). When the caregivers were female, spouses or children, with poor health condition, with higher education degree, and as cadres or workers, caregiver burden was higher (t=6.061,F=22.073-52.392,P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the degree of spinal cord injury, complications, gender, and the relationship between the patients were the main factors that influenced the care burden. Conclusions The main factors influencing the care burden are spinal cord injury degree, complications, gender, and the relationship between the patients. Clinical managers needs to develop appropriate social support system for the factors which affect the caregiver, in order to ease the caregiver′s care burden.

Objective To study the phenomena and the related mechanisms of malignant transformation of dermis derived multipotential stem cells in vitro . Methods Clonal populations of dermal multipotential stem cells were passaged sequentially in vitro , and the subcutaneous inoculation of cells in nude mice was used for observation of the tumor formation. The transcript profiles of the transformed cells were analyzed by DNA microarray technique. Results Dermal multipotential stem cells underwent spontaneous malignant transformation after serial subculture in vitro . Cells grew out of control, and chromosome number was abnormal. After cells were inoculated subcutaneously into BALB/c nu/nu athymic mice, tumors characterized by fibrous histiocytoma were produced. Immunohistochemistry showed that there were different cell populations for the expression of vimentin, cytokeratin, S 100, and ? smooth actin. Detection by DNA microarray technique revealed that the transformed cells expressed multilineage transcripts, indicating that the transformed cells might have the multipotency. Among the differentially expressed genes in transformed cells, most of the up regulated genes were related to the proliferation process, but most of the down regulated genes were growth factors and their receptors. The enhanced expression of the c ki ras gene and its relevant molecules may play important roles in the transformation process. A candidate gene with unknown functions related to the stem cell proliferation was also preliminarily identified. Conclusion Dermal multipotential stem cells can undergo spontaneous malignant transformation in vitro . Further studies of the mechanisms of this process at the molecular level may have significance both in stem cell application and in tumorigenesis.

Objective To evaluate the association between resting heart rate (HR) and all-cause death and coronary heart disease (CHD) events in the Chinese cohort. Methods Data were obtained from the PRC-USA Cooperative Study on Cardiovascular and Cardiopulmonary Epidemiology. Baseline screen surveys were conducted in 1983 and 1984 from people aged 35 to 59 years living in urban or rural areas of Beijing and Guangzhou. Follow-up visits were performed for end point events of all-cause death and first CHD events every two years till 2005. Resting HR was determined from 5 consecutive intervals between R waves on the 12-lead electrocardiogram. Results A total of 9856 (4805 males) people were included in the study and the mean follow up duration was 16. 2 years. There were 1523 deaths, including 200 CHD events during the follow up period. Mean resting HR was 67. 9 beat per minute (bpm) in men and 71. 6 bpm in women respectively which had a trend to increase with aging. Cox Proportional Hazards model indicated the relative risk of all-cause death increased constantly with the increase of HR percentile after control of age, fasting glucose, serum cholesterol, serum triglyceride, body mass index, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. With HR 60-89 bpm as control group, the relative risk and 95% confidence interval in group HR <50 bpm,50-59 bpm,90-99 bpm and ≥100 bpm were 0. 76(0. 49-1. 17) ,0. 87 (0. 75-1. 02) , 1. 33 ( 1. 06-1. 68) ,1.48 ( 1. 03-2. 14) respectively. However there was no significant correlation between HR and CHD events in studied population. Conclusion The risk of total death increased significantly in people with HR≥90 bpm suggesting higher resting heart rate might be an independent risk factor for all-cause death in the Chinese population.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of pseudolaric acid B (PLAB) on cell proliferation and cycle of human prostate carcinoma DU-145 cells. method: Its inhibitory effect on the cell growth was measured by MTT method. Characteristics of cell death were determined by Hoechest 33342 staining. The cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. The expressions of cyclin B1, cyclin D1 and CDK1 were detected by Real time-PCR and Western blot, respectively.
RESULTPLAB notably inhibited DU-145 cell growth in a dose- and time dependent manner (P < 0.05). Its IC50 values of PLAB for DU-145 cells for 24, 48 and 72 h were 4.53, 2.39 and 2.08 micromol x L(-1), respectively. Having been treated with 5 micromol x L(-1) PLAB for 24 h, the cells showed such apoptosis characteristics as nuclei chromatin condensation and apoptotic body. With the increase in PLAB concentration, the proportion of G2/M phase cells strikingly increased in a dose- and time dependent manner (P < 0.05), meanwhile cyclin B1 and CDK1 showed over-expressions (P < 0.05), and the cyclin D1 showed under-expression (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONPLAB can inhibit the growth of DU-145 cells and induce the cell cycle G2/M arrest, accompanied with the over-expression of cyclin B1 and CDK1, which may be related with its regulation cycle-associated protein degradation.

OBJECTIVETo explore possible interrelationships among resistance to peer pressure, risky decision-making and health risk behaviors among young adolescents.
METHODSBased on the cluster sampling method, the participants who were recruited from 5 junior middle schools in Guangzhou and 3 junior middle schools in Shenyang city on October, 2010, were administered to complete the questionnaire concerned with their experiences with drinking and smoking during the past 30 days preceding the survey, and the hours using computer daily both in weekdays and in weekend. The level of resistance to peer influence and risky decision-making were assessed by Resistance to peer influence scale (RPIS) and Youth decision-making questionnaire (YDMQ). Logistic regression was used to explore possible interrelationships among resistance to peer influence, risky decision-making and health risk behaviors among young adolescents.
RESULTSA total of 1985 questionnaires were valid, including 1001(50.4%) boys and 984 (49.6%) girls. About 27.1% (537/1985) junior middle school students reported having health risk behaviors, boys' (30.7%, 307/1001) was higher than girls' (23.4%, 230/984) with significant gender difference (P < 0.05). The prevalence of smoking, drinking during the past 30 days before the survey and using computer over 3 hours daily in weekdays and in weekend were 5.1% (102/1985), 14.3% (284/1985), 3.5% (70/1985) and 13.7% (272/1985), respectively. The rate of drinking, using computer over 3 hours daily in weekdays and in weekend were higher in males (16.4% (164/1001), 4.5% (45/1001), 16.2% (162/1001)) than those in females (12.2% (120/984), 2.5% (25/984), 11.2% (110/984)) (P < 0.05). The scores of RPIS and YDMQ of the two cities adolescents were 2.82 ± 0.39 and 1.68 ± 0.62. The students reported smoking, drinking during the past 30 days before the survey and using computer over 3 hours daily in weekend gained lower RPIS scores (2.43 ± 0.40, 2.61 ± 0.41, 2.77 ± 0.40) than their counterparts who didn't report these kind of health risk behaviors (2.84 ± 0.38, 2.85 ± 0.38, 2.82 ± 0.39)(P < 0.05). And those reported smoking, drinking during the past 30 days before the survey and using computer over 3 hours daily in weekdays and in weekend gained higher YDMQ scores (2.38 ± 0.66, 2.06 ± 0.66, 1.97 ± 0.72, 1.84 ± 0.64, respectively) than their counterparts who didn't report these kind of health risk behaviors (1.64 ± 0.38, 1.61 ± 0.58, 1.67 ± 0.61, 1.65 ± 0.61, respectively) (P < 0.05). After adjusting gender, area, parental education degree, self-reported family economic condition, multi-variant logistic regression analysis indicated that the low and middle level of resistance to peer influence (low and middle level vs high level, had odds ratios of 2.97 (1.96 - 4.50) and 1.51 (1.05 - 2.16)), and also the middle and high level of risky decision-making (middle and high level vs low level, had odds ratios of 1.62 (1.19 - 2.22) and 3.43 (2.39 - 4.90)) were all the risk factors of adolescent health risk behaviors.
CONCLUSIONAdolescents with poor ability of resistance to peer pressure and high risky decision-making were both the risk factors of adolescent health risk behaviors.

Objective:To investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of the lateral-rectus approach combined with the Pfannenstiel approach in the treatment of pelvic fractures complicated with urethral rupture.Methods:From January 2013 to June 2021, 20 patients with pelvic fracture complicated with urethral rupture were surgically managed through the lateral-rectus approach and the Pfannenstiel approach at Department of Traumatic Surgery, Center for Orthopaedic Surgery, the Third Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University. They were 15 males and 5 females, with an average age of 42 years (from 18 to 55 years). By the Tile classification, there were 11 cases of type B and 9 cases of type C. The first-stage urethral realignment was performed via the Pfannenstiel approach in the supine position after general anesthesia in conjunction with an urologist; at the second-stage, the lateral-rectus approach was used to reduce and fixate the acetabular or pelvic fractures. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture reduction quality, pelvic functional recovery and complications were documented.Results:In this cohort, the operation time ranged from 80 to 240 min, averaging 140.5 min; the time for simple urethral convergence ranged from 20 to 30 min; the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 400 mL to 2,000 mL, averaging 730 mL. According to the Mears andVelyvis evaluation for fracture reduction quality, anatomical reduction was achieved in 13 cases, satisfactory reduction in 6 cases, and unsatisfactory reduction in one. The 20 patients were followed up for 12 to 68 months (mean, 37 months) after surgery. One fracture got nonunited but the other fractures got united after 3.0 to 4.5 months (mean, 3.5 months). According to the Majeed scoring system, the pelvic function at 12 months after surgery was excellent in 12 cases, good in 6 and fair in 2, giving an excellent and good rate of 90% (18/20). Screw loosening was found in one patient, traction injury to the lumbosacral trunk nerve in another patient, varying degrees of dysuria which responded to periodic urethral dilation in 8 patients, urethral stricture in 3 patients and erectile dysfunction in 5 patients. No abdominal hernia or pelvic infection was observed.Conclusions:The lateral-rectus approach combined with the Pfannenstiel approach can be used effectively to reduce and fixate the pelvic and acetabular fractures, and to repair the urethral rupture in one stage as well. They are also safe due to a low incidence of such complications as abdominal wall hernia and pelvic infection.

Objective To introduce the development strategy of“Internet Plus”AIDS prevention services and its implementation results from 2010 to 2015 in Guangzhou, China. Methods A gay men's health column was created for an active website aimed at men who have sex with men (MSM), in collaboration with local community organizations and the Guangzhou CDC. We designed intervention tools (including scenario-based applications and HIV risk self-assessment systems) and an online HIV testing service platform, integrated with applied psychology and behavioral theory as well as the“Internet Plus”concept, to intervene in HIV infection risk factors among MSM. Data of clients who accessed the“Internet Plus”AIDS services from 2010 to 2015 were used to evaluate service operation. Six-year consecutive surveys, conducted between April and July of each service year, were collected using a national AIDS sentinel surveillance questionnaire. For each year of surveillance, information on HIV prevalence, HIV interventions received during the past year, unprotected anal intercourse in the past 6 months, and HIV testing in the past year were compared using the chi-squared (χ2) test, to roughly reflect the effect of“Internet Plus”AIDS prevention services. Results As of 31 December 2015, a total of 34 395 MSM had received“Internet Plus”services and HIV testing. The number of MSM tested increased from 2 338 in 2010 to 8 054 in 2015. From 2010 to 2015, newly identified HIV cases in each year were 59, 166, 312, 283, 291, and 270, which accounted for 25.0%, 32.8%, 38.8%, 35.1%, 30.5%, and 23.2% of MSM HIV cases of Guangzhou, respectively. Sentinel surveillance data showed that during the study period, 3 047 MSM were investigated, with 405, 400, 401, 633, 608, and 600 each year, respectively. The proportion of participants who had received any HIV intervention during the past year was 74.3% (301), 70.8% (283), 83.3% (334), 85.0%(538), 69.1%(420), and 83.8%(503) each year, respectively (trend χ2=6.53, P=0.011). HIV testing done during the past year accounted for 44.0%(178), 44.3%(177), 49.4%(198), 53.4%(338), 56.1%(341), and 60.2%(361) each year, respectively (trendχ2=40.83, P<0.001). Unprotected anal intercourse in the past 6 months accounted for 59.3% (240), 62.0% (248), 56.6% (227), 57.0% (361), 48.4% (294), and 43.7%(262) each year, respectively (trend χ2=42.21, P<0.001). Conclusion The“Internet Plus”AIDS prevention services in this study represent a manner to enhance traditional HIV prevention strategies. We found these services to be effective in implementation of the national AIDS control and prevention strategy, especially for the expansion of intervention, testing, and case identification among high-risk populations.
