Objective:To investigate the impact of self-concealment,self-disclosure,coping style and per- ceived social support on university students'loneliness.Methods:Loneliness and related factors were assessed among 482 university students using scales including UCLA Loneliness Scale,Self-concealment Scale(SCS),Self-disclosure Index(SDI),Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ)and Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS).Results: The level of university students'loneliness was not high(36.5?7.4);males experienced more loneliness than fe- males(37.4?7.5/35.4?7.3,F=8.25,P0.05). Regression analysis showed that SCS,SCSQ and PSSS predicted UCLA effectively(?=0.207,-0.218,0.157, -0.380).The testing of mediating effect indicated that SCS had direct and indirect impact on UCLA through nega- tive coping style and PSSS;SDI had only indirect impact on UCLA through positive coping style and PSSS.Conclusion:SCS,SDI,SCSQ and PSSS are important factors influencing UCLA,and the intervention of univer- sity students'loneliness should focus on these variables.

OBJECTIVETo explore the pattern of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in advanced Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (AGEJ) in order to properly guide lymphadenectomy.

METHODSFrom January 2009 to Jun 2011, a total of 86 patients with advanced Siewert type II AGEJ underwent radical esophagogastrectomy by thoracic-abdominal incision and two-field lymphadenectomy. The clinical characteristics, pathologic features, LNM, and influence factor of thoracic metastasis were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTSLNM was observed in 65 of the 86 cases (75.6%). Simple abdominal lymph node metastasis was observed in 49 of the 86 cases (57.0%), simple thoracic lymph node metastasis was 2.3%, and thoracic-abdominal metastasis was 16.3%, with a significant difference between the abdominal and thoracic metastatic patterns. LNM frequency was found in the lymph node groups No. 3, No. 1, No. 7, No. 110, No. 2 and No. 9 (from the highest to the lowest). The incidences of those lymph node metastases were 46.5%, 41.9%, 17.4%, 14.0%, 10.5%, and 5.8%, respectively. Vascular tumor embolus was the only independent factor for thoracic lymph node metastasis.

CONCLUSIONSAbdominal lymph node metastases of advanced Siewert type II AGEJ mainly occur around the proximal stomach and the coeliac trunk. The metastatic rate of distal stomach and splenic perihilar lymph nodes is low, but metastatic rate of the group No.110 lymph nodes is high. The thoracic lymph node metastasis is only correlated with vascular tumor embolus.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between the extracellular matrix (ECM) and neoplastic progression in hamster with tongue cancer.

METHODSForty-eight specimens of hamster tongue cancer were divided into control group (n=6) and experimental group (n=42). The pathological grade of the specimens was assessed (including 3 stages, namely atypical hyperplasia, carcinoma in situ and early invasive carcinoma). The sections of the tongue were stained with Masson and aldehyde-fuchsin (AF) staining for microscopic observation of the elastic fiber and collagen fiber changes.

RESULTSWithin the connective tissue cores (CTC) of the papillae in the control group was a framework of numerous and fine Gomrori's aldehyde fuchsin-positive elastic fibers. But in the stages of dysplasia and carcinoma in situ, these elastic fibers decreased and further diminished in the CTC in early invasive carcinoma. In dysplasia and carcinoma in situ stages, most of the elastic fibers collapsed with scattered elastic fibers, and the elastic fibers decreased significantly in early invasive carcinoma. The control group showed a significantly greater number of elastic fibers in the experimental group. The collagen fiber was obviously increased and irregularly arranged in dysplasia and carcinoma in situ stage; in early invasive carcinoma, the collagen fibers became thicker with deposition in the lamina propria.

CONCLUSIONAn excessive deposition of collagen fiber and reduction of the elastic fibers is an important factor contributing to the development of tongue carcinoma in hamsters.

In recent years,the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)infection has become a global public health issue.Ceftazidime/avibactam(CAZ/AVI)has been approved as a novel antimicrobial agent for the treatment of healthcare-associated pneumonia/ventilator-associated pneumonia,bloodstream infection,infection after kidney transplantation,and severe infection combined with liver cirrhosis.However,the use of CAZ/AVI has also led to the emergence of drug-resistant strains.The major mechanisms of drug-resistance include over-expression of blaKPC gene,mutation of β-lactamase and amino acids at key sites,changes in cell permeability caused by loss of membrane porin,and over-expression of efflux pump.This article reviews the research progress of CAZ/AVI in the treatment of CRKP infection,providing reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective: To assess the risk of public health emergencies in Zhejiang Province, March 2021. Methods: An expert counsel was conducted to assess the risk of coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19 ) , enteritis due to norovirus, chicken pox and influenza by professionals in Zhejiang CDC, based on the information from infectious disease and public health emergency surveillance in Zhejiang Province, domestic health administrative departments, World Health Organization, and European CDC. Results: In March 2021, the risk of imported COVID-19 epidemic will be high in Zhejiang Province, and the possibility of local spread could not be ruled out. The possibility of a large-scale outbreak of enteritis due to norovirus and a small-scale outbreak of chickenpox in schools and kindergartens could not be ruled out after the new term begins. An increased risk of influenza epidemic is predicted in collective units such as schools and kindergartens, yet the risk of a large-scale one will be low. Conclusion High attention should be paid to COVID-19 and enteritis due to norovirus, and general attention should be paid to chicken pox and influenza outbreak.

Two Rotavirus G9P[8] strains (LL52696 and LL52727) were recognized during a sentinel-based survey in Lulong, China. Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 gene showed that both strains isolated constituted a divergent genetic cluster distinct from the other G9 strains isolated in China. Analysis of VP4, VP6, and NSP4 genes revealed that these strains were closely related to Lulong strains. We hold that two strains were reassortant between G9 and Lulong predominant strains.

This study was aimed to further investigate the function of platelet collagen receptor-glycoprotein VI and to screen its specific inhibitor. The extracellular domain of platelet glycoprotein VI (GPVI) in E. coli was expressed by recombinant technology, the extracellular domain cDNA of GPVI was amplified from pBluescript KS(-)-GPVI plasmid by PCR. Proved by sequencing, the expression vector pET-20b(+)-GPVI was constructed, which was then transformed into E. coli (BL21(DE3)pLysS) and induced by IPTG. The recombinant GPVI was purified on Ni-NTA resin column and renatured in PBS containing GSH and GSSG. The anti-penta His McAb and anti-GPVI polyclonal antibody were used to identify the recombinant GPVI in Western blotting. Collagen binding test was conducted to investigate the biological activity of recombinant GPVI. The results showed that the recombinant GPVI was expressed in E. coli and successfully purified, which was confirmed to be similar to the native GPVI in Western blotting. The recombinant GPVI can bind the type I collagen in dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, the recombinant GPVI can be achieved in E. coli and restore its native characteristics after renaturation.

OBJECTIVETo observe the changes of blood viscosity and erythrocyte rheology in mice after acute hypoxic hypoxia (AHH).

METHODSThirty-two Kui-ming mice were randomly divided into control group, AHH group (duplicating AHH model, and divided into 5 min, 8 min, 11 min subgroups), the blood sample was taken out from heart after neck dislocation at corresponding times, for detecting the blood viscosity and erythrocyte rheology indices.

RESULTSCompared with control group, the whole blood viscosity at different shears, whole blood reduced viscosity, whole blood relative viscosity were lower and the erythrocytes aggregation index was higher in AHH 5 min group; the electrophoresis time was longer and the electrophoresis length, migration of erythrocyte were lower in AHH 8 min and AHH 11 min groups. The whole blood reduced viscosity, whole blood relative viscosity, erythrocytes aggregation index in AHH 8 min group were higher, and the erythrocyte deformability index was lower significantly than that of AHH 5 min group, respectively.

CONCLUSIONThese data suggested that the AHH could induce the blood viscosity and electrophoresis ability.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

METHODSSeventy-one patients with gastric cancer received laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Among them radical total gastrectomy was performed in 8 cases, proximal partial gastrectomy in 16 cases, proximal partial gastrectomy combined with splenectomy in 3 cases, and distal partial gastrectomy in 44 cases.

RESULTSSixty-nine cases had laparoscopic-assisted surgery performed successfully, but 2 cases were converted to open surgery. The mean operation time was (343 +/- 52) min for total gastrectomy, (268 +/- 62) min for proximal gastrectomy, (312 +/- 64) min for proximal gastrectomy combined with splenectomy, and (283 +/- 44) min for distal gastrectomy respectively. The mean volume of blood loss was (267 +/- 220) ml in total gastrectomy, (150 +/- 103) ml in proximal gastrectomy, (333 +/- 116) ml in proximal gastrectomy combined with splenectomy, (139+/- 84) ml in distal gastrectomy respectively. The mean numbers of harvested lymph nodes were (34.3 +/- 11.8). The mean time was (4.1 +/- 1.1) d for gastrointestinal function recovery, (3.5 +/- 1.0) d for patient's taking general activity, (5.0 +/- 1.2) d for taking liquid food. The short-term efficiency was obvious.

CONCLUSIONLaparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy is a feasible, safe and minimally invasive treatment and can achieve the same outcomes as the open operation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the composition of bacteria in the stools of infants and the colonization of intestinal microbiota during infancy.

METHODSFresh stools were collected from 15 healthy infants at 0, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, and 28 days and 3, 6, and 12 months after birth. Polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) was used to analyze the composition of intestinal microbiota, perform sequencing of dominant bacteria, and to analyze the changes in the composition of intestinal microbiota during infancy.

RESULTSDGGE fingerprint showed that the composition of intestinal microbiota during infancy changed significantly over time after birth. The cloning and sequencing results indicated that Proteobacteria colonized the earliest, mainly the obligate aerobes Enterobacter and Pseudomonas, followed by the obligate anaerobes (Clostridium hathewayi and Veillonella parvula) and the facultative anaerobe Clostridium ramosum in Firmicutes, and Verrucomicrobia. Actinobacteria colonized the latest, mainly Bifidobacterium, and gradually became dominant bacteria.

CONCLUSIONSDuring infancy, obligate aerobes colonize the intestinal tract the earliest, followed by obligate anaerobes and facultative anaerobes. Proteobacteria colonizes the earliest, followed by Firmicutes and Verrucomicrobia, and Actinobacteria, mainly Bifidobacterium, colonizes the latest.
