Objective To explore the correlation between psychosomatic health and depressive symptoms among university students. Methods Using a stratified random sampling method we selected 1197 students from a university in Wuhan and adopted the 21 - item Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) together with a self - designed questionnaire for assessment and data collection. We received completed questionnaires from 1179 students (432 male and 747 female students). We computed the contingency frequency of study variables and examined risk factors for depressive symptom using conditional logistic regression. Results We observed about 30.27% of the young students with depressive symptoms, and 24.34% , 5.0% and 0.93% of them had a mild, modest and severe depressive symptom, respectively. The rate in female students was slightly higher than that in male students (31.86% vs 27.55%). We compared variables such as sex, study year, speciality and liveplace of family with the BDI scores by Chi - square Test, but there was not significant difference. We performed a part of multivariate logistic regressions and adjusted with sex, study year, liveplace of family and singlechild. We found that significant associated risk factors with depressive symptoms included parent(s) with diagnosed psychiatric illness(OR =2.38, P

Aim To investigate the effects of meloxi-cam on the proliferation,migration and expression of PTEN of human colorectal cancer LoVo cells.Meth-ods The colony formation test was used to detect the effect of meloxicam on the proliferation of LoVo cells. The cell migration assay was applied to analyze the effect of meloxicam on LoVo cells activity.The RT-PCR assay was used to detect the effect of meloxicam on the mRNA expression of PCNA and PTEN gene. The western blot assay was applied to analyze the effects of meloxicam on the expression of PTEN pro-tein.The recombinant adenovirus and Annexin-V assay were used to testify the relationship between PTEN gene and anti-cancer effect of meloxicam.Results Compared with the control group,meloxicam could in-hibit the colony formation and PCNA protein expression of LoVo cells.At 48 h and 80 μmol·L -1 ,the expres-sion of PCNA protein was reduced to 61 .57% ± 2.81 %(T =7.086,P =0.01 9),the mRNA expres-sion of PTEN gene increased to 1 60.43% ±4.71 %(T=24.244,P =0.002),and the expression of PTEN protein increased to 1 52.63% ±3.33%(T =27.359, P =0.001 ).Results Annexin-V test indicated that the anti-cancer effect of meloxicam was associated with the up-regulated expression of PTEN.Conclusions Meloxicam can inhibit the proliferation and migration of LoVo cells by up-regulating the expression of PTEN.

With the wide application of electronic data management (EDC), the data management is shifting to a new mode. In order to recognize the advantages of EDC, we choose 20 representative registered clinical trials, which involve 5 404 subjects and 321 sites. We found that EDC has many beneficial impacts on the course of clinical trial data management, including the process of data collection, data cleaning, data quality control and clinical trial decision-making. The result also provides a reference for the adoption of EDC in clinical trials.

Objective:To investigate the esophageal microecology in patients with esophageal carcinoma (EC), and to compare the difference in esophageal flora between patients with esophageal cancer and healthy people.Methods:From July 2018 to July 2019, at Taihe Hospital, 82 EC patients and 20 age-and gender-matched healthy controls during the same period were selected. The pathology of EC were divided into poorly differentiated (8 cases), moderately differentiated (9 cases) and well differentiated cancers (13 cases) according to the degree of differentiation. The esophageal tissue samples of EC patients and healthy individuals were collected. Sample DNA was extracted and the V4 region of bacterial 16S rRNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Sequencing was performed by lllumina HiSeq 4000 sequencing platform. Alpha-diversity analysis and principal co-ordinates analysis (PCoA) were performed, and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) of linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) was used to screen different species. The random forest model was verified by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the esophageal bacterial phenotype was predicted by BugBase database. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis H test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The Chao1 index of the EC patients was higher than that of healthy controls (362.51(284.29, 646.13) vs. 284.83(244.31, 344.74)), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.857, P=0.004). The results of PCoA showed that the distance between samples of EC patients and healthy control samples was relatively close, and there was no significant difference in the composition of microecology between the two groups ( P>0.05). The abundance of esophageal Cyanobacteria and Verrucomicrobia of EC patients were both higher than those of healthy controls (0.2% vs. 0.1%, 0.4% vs. 0), while the abundances of esophageal Proteobacteria, SR1 and TM7 phylum of EC patients were lower than those of healthy controls (21.9% vs. 34.2%, 0.1% vs. 0.2%, 0.2% vs. 0.5%), and the differences were statistically significant ( Q=0.090, 0.077, 0.010, 0.026 and 0.001, all P<0.05). The abundances of Clostridia, Elostridiales, Pasteurella, Pasteurellaceae, Eikenella, Actinobacillus and Haemophilus in poorly differentiated patients, moderately differentiated and higher differentiated patients were 28.3%, 24.2% and 17.0%, 28.3%, 24.2% and 17.0%, 3.2%, 0.3% and 5.0%, 3.2%, 0.3% and 5.0%, 0, 1.5% and 0.1%, 0.5%, 0 and 0.7%, 1.3%, 0.2% and 3.9%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( Q=0.579, 0.557, 0.390, 0.711, 0.768, 0.768 and 0.768, all P<0.05). LEfSe analysis showed that the abundances of Fusobacterium, Ruminococcus, Odorbacterium and S24_7 of EC patients were higher than those of healthy controls (21.5% vs. 11.7%, 0.5% vs. 0.1%, 0.1% vs. 0 and 0 vs. 0), and the differences were statistically significant (LDA=2.591, 2.379, 2.790 and 2.927, all P<0.05). The ROC curve confirmed that the random forest model was reliable and the AUC value was 0.92. BugBase database phenotypic prediction showed that the phenotype of esophageal bacteria related to biofilm formation, pathogenic potential, mobile elements, oxygen demand (aerobic, anaerobic and facultative bacteria), and oxidative stress tolerance of EC patients were more abundant than those of healthy controls (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The esophageal flora of patients with esophageal cancer has changed. Fusobacterium, Ruminococcus, Odoribacterium and S24_7 may be potential biomarkers of esophageal flora.

Objective:
To assess the value of multi-parametric MRI in mammographically detected breast imaging reporting and data systems (BI-RADS) 3 to 4 exclusive microcalcifications.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was performed in 152 patients with mammographically detected BI-RADS 3 to 4 exclusive microcalcifications from January 2013 to December 2017. All patients underwent bilateral breast multi-parametric MRI before surgical biopsy. Microcalcifications were classified according to BI-RADS by two radiologists with more than 10 years′ experience in breast imaging. The area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of BI-RADS 3 to 4 exclusive microcalcifications diagnosis by mammography and mammography plus MRI were calculated and compared using pathology as the gold standard.
Results:
A total of 152 lesions (93 benign lesionsand 59 malignant lesions) were assessed in this study. The positive predictive value (PPV) of mammography for BI-RADS 3, 4A, 4B and 4C microcalcifications diagnosis were 22.2%(16/72), 5.0%(1/20), 48.5%(17/35) and 100.0%(25/25) respectively. The PPV of MRI for BI-RADS 2, 3, 4, 5 microcalcifications diagnosis were 1.6%(1/62), 7.1%(2/28), 72.2%(13/18) and 97.7%(43/44).The area under curve, sensitivity and specificity of mammography for BI-RADS 3 to 4 microcalcifications diagnosis were 0.676,72.9% and 60.2%. The area under curve, sensitivity and specificity of mammography plus MRI for BI-RADS 3 to 4 microcalcifications diagnosis were 0.982, 94.9% and 93.6%.
Conclusions
Multi-parametric MRI can improve the diagnostic accuracy in mammographically detected BI-RADS 3 to 4 exclusive microcalcifications, which is helpful to differentiate benign and malignant breast lesions with microcalcifications and avoid unnecessary biopsies.
