Objective To explore the relationship among boredom proneness,core self-evaluation and aggression in medical students and to provide clues and evidence for preventing aggression and their relevant interventions.Methods The Boredom Proneness Scale for College Students(C-BPQ),Chinese Version of Buss & Perry Aggression Questionnaire (AQ-CV)and Core Self-evaluations Scale were employed to investigate 1667 medical students in one medical university in Ningxia.Results There were significant differences between high and low boredom proneness groups in core self-evaluations,total aggression score and each factors (core self-evaluations:(29.67±5.10) vs (41.67±4.64),AQ-CV scores:(36.43±17.18) vs (17.58±12.45),physical aggression:(31.62 ±20.46) vs (17.02 ±15.28),verbal aggression:(37.44±19.03) vs (24.68±17.14),anger:(40.93±22.32) vs (18.85±16.86),hostility:(37.34± 19.41) vs (14.86± 13.57),self-aggression:(35.47 ±21.66) vs (13.57± 14.28),all P＜0.001).There were positive correlation among total score of boredom proneness,internal and external stimuli dimensions,total score of AQ-CV and each factors (P＜0.001) and negative correlation between total score of boredom proneness and core self-evaluation(P＜0.001).There were negative correlation among core self-evaluation score,AQ-CV scores and each factor(P＜0.001).Regression analysis showed that boredom proneness and core self-evaluation could predict the aggression to a certain extent (P＜0.01).Core self-evaluation played a mediating role between boredom proneness and aggression taking 48.25％ proportion of the total effect of the mediation.Conclusion Boredom proneness is closely related to aggressive behavior.Core self-evaluation plays a mediating role between boredom proneness and aggression.

Objective To investigate the detectable rate and correlative factors of behavior problems among Hui nationality left-behind children in Ningxia rural area.Methods 1394 children,between 6 and 15 years old,of which 282 were Hui nationality children and 112 were Hui left-behind children,were selected from six primary schools and two junior middle schools using cluster random sampling method in Yongning,Ningxia.All of them were assessed by the Achenbach 's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and self-designed General Information Questionnaire.Logistic regression method was used to analyze the correlative factors of behavior problems.Results The detectable rate of behavior problems among Hui nationality children between 6 and 15 years old was 31.25％,which was higher than the Han nationality left-behind children' s(17.84％) and Hui nationality nonleft-behind children' s (14.12％).Among the Hui left-behind children,those who between 6 and 11 years old,had been left alone between 5 and 7,and whose parents exchanging ideas with teachers less than one time a month had higher detectable rates (x2 =14.904,6.327,7.904,P ＜ 0.05).Among the Hui ethnic children,the detectable rates of those who between 6 and 11 yeas old were higher than that of the non-left-behind children' s(P ＜ 0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that Hui ethnic left-behind children between 12 and 15 years old (OR =0.179) and those whose parents contacted with their teachers frequently(OR =0.362) had less possibilities to attach behavior problems.Conclusion The detectable rate of behavior problems among Hui nationality left-behind Children between 6 andl5 years old in Ningxia is higher,and the correlative factors are complex.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare nicotine ethosome and study its transdermal permeability in vitro. METHODS:Injection method was adopted to prepare nicotine ethosome. Single-factor test was conducted to study the effects of the amounts of ethanol and phospholipid on the particle size and encapsulation efficiency of the ethosome. Franz diffusion cell was employed to conduct permeability test on excised rat skin to compare cumulative permeating quantities of the nicotine in nicotine ethosome,nicotine lipo-some and nicotine ethanol solution. Confocal laser scanning electron microscope was applied to observe the penetration depths of rhodamine B-containing nicotine ethosome,nicotine liposome and the solution of nicotine ethanol solution in the in vitro rat skin. RESULTS:When the formulation contained 3%(m/V)phospholipid and 35%(V/V)ethanol,the obtained nicotine ethosome had the smallest particle size [(105 ± 11.5) nm] and the highest encapsulation efficiency [(89.13 ± 6.12)%]. Compared with nicotine ethosome and the nicotine ethanol solution,nicotine ethosome had the largest cumulative permeating quantity in vitro at 12 h. Fur-thermore,the above-mentioned 3 preparations all became saturated in permeability at 12 h with the penetration depths of 80 μm, 156 μm and 175 μm,respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The nicotine ethosome that can increase the transdermal permeability of nico-tine has been prepared successfully.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ropivacaine combined with low-dose naloxone or sufentanilropivacaine mixture on brachial plexus block carried under the guidance of ultrasound.Methods A total of 100 patients of our hospital undergoing upper limb surgery was randomly divided into four groups with 25 patients in each group.Four groups are patients receiving 20 mL of 0.375％ mesylate ropivacaine (Group D),20 mL of 0.375％ mesylate ropivacaine + 10 μg sufentanil (Group S),20 mL of 0.375％ mesylate ropivacaine + 100 ng naloxone (Group N) and 20 mL of 0.375％ mesylate ropivacaine + 10 μg sufentanil +100 ng naloxone (Group N+S).All patients underwent interscalene brachial plexus block under ultrasound guidance.The sensory block,motor block and other adverse reactions were observed and recorded at 5min,6,12,18,24 h.Results The sensory and motor block time of group D was (435.5 ± 77.9) min and (350.2 ± 69.8) min,group S (831.7 ± 52.0)min and (675.8 ± 48.1)min,group N (933.0 ± 117.1) min and (499.0 ± 40.5) min,group N+S (919.3 ± 59.0) min and (534.8 ± 56.6)min.The sensory block time of group N and group N + S were significantly longer than that of group D and S (P ＜0.05).The sensory and motor block time of group D were obviously shorter than that of other groups (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant difference in the onset time of sensory and motor block in all groups.Conclusion Low dose of naloxone combined with ropivacaine or sufentanil-ropivacaine mixture can increase the duration of sensory block on brachial plexus.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of temperature and humidity on the drug stability by initial average rate experiment, and to obtained the kinetic parameters. METHODS: The effect of concentration error, drug degradation extent, humidity and temperature numbers, humidity and temperature range, and average humidity and temperature on the accuracy and precision of kinetic parameters in the initial average rate experiment was explored. The stability of vitamin C, as a solid state model, was investigated by an initial average rate experiment. RESULTS: Under the same experimental conditions, the kinetic parameters obtained from this proposed method were comparable to those from classical isothermal experiment at constant humidity. The estimates were more accurate and precise by controlling the extent of drug degradation, changing humidity and temperature range, or by setting the average temperature closer to room temperature. CONCLUSION Compared with isothermal experiments at constant humidity, our proposed method saves time, labor, and materials.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of externalizing behavior problems (EBPs) and its influencing factors among Hui left-behind children (LBC) in rural China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among school students from the southern rural areas in Ningxia, China (2012–2013). The general self-made questionnaire, Egma Minnen av Bardndosna Uppforstran, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (for Children), Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale, and Achenbach’s Child Behavior Checklist (for parents) were used to investigate the related information. Binary logistic regressions were conducted. Results: The prevalence of EBPs in boys Hui LBC was significantly higher than that of non-LBC (12.37% vs. 6.84%, χ2=4.09, and p=0.04). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low self-awareness of behavior (odds ratio [OR]=29.78), introversion (OR=21.67) and intermediate personality (OR=15.83), poor academic performance (OR=11.65) and both parent migrating (OR=2.73) were the risk factors for the EBPs of Hui LBC, while middle and high father refusal and denial (OR=0.11, OR=0.09) were their protective factors. Conclusion Our findings suggest that both parent migrating is a potential risk factor for EBPs among Hui LBC. Hui boys LBC should be paid more attention when formulating relevant policies.

Objective To observe the value of radiomics models and nomogram model based on two-dimensional ultrasound and automated breast volume scanning(ABVS)for predicting molecular types of breast cancer.Methods Data of 326 female patients of single breast cancer confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were randomly divided into training set(n=260)or validation set(n=66)at the ratio of 8∶2,and further divided into Luminal subgroup and non-Luminal subgroup.Radiomics features were extracted based on two-dimensional ultrasound of breast and ABVS imaging,then model2DUS,modelABVS and modelcombined radiomics were constructed,respectively.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to screen independent factors for predicting molecular types of breast cancer,and nomogram model(modelnomogram)was constructed combined with independent factors and radiomics Radscores.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the efficacy of each model for molecular type of breast cancer.Results The maximum diameter of tumor(OR=1.029)and the retraction phenomenon(OR=0.408)were both independent predictive factors for molecular type of breast cancer(both P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of model2DUS,modelABVS.modelcombined radiomics and modelnomogram for predicting molecular type of breast cancer in validation set was 0.67,0.75,0.84 and 0.83,respectively.No significant difference of AUC of modelcombined radiomics and modelnomogram was found(P＞0.05),which were both higher than AUC of model2DUs and modelABVS(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Combined radiomics model and nomogram model based on two-dimensional ultrasound and ABVS could effectively predict molecular type of breast cancer.

PURPOSE: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are thought to serve as potential biomarkers in various cancers, including breast cancer. METHODS: We evaluated the miRNA expression profiles in 1,083 breast cancer samples and 104 normal breast tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. We used the edgeR package of R software to analyze the differentially expressed miRNAs in normal and cancer tissues, and screened survival-related miRNAs by Kaplan-Meier analysis. A receiver operating characteristic curve was generated to evaluate the accuracy of these miRNAs as molecular markers for breast cancer diagnosis. Furthermore, the functional role of these miRNAs was verified using cell experiments. Targets of candidate miRNAs were predicted using 9 online databases, and Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and pathway analyses were conducted using Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery online tool. RESULTS: A total of 68 miRNAs showed significantly different expression patterns between the groups (p < 0.001), and 13 of these miRNAs were significantly associated with poor survival (p < 0.05). Three miRNAs with high specificity and sensitivity, namely, miR-148b-3p, miR-190b, and miR-429, were selected. In vitro experiments showed that the overexpression of these 3 miRNAs significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of MDA-MB-468 and T47D cells and reduced the apoptosis of T47D cells. GO and pathway enrichment analyses revealed that the targets of these dysregulated miRNAs were involved in many critical cancer-related biological processes and pathways. CONCLUSION: The miR-148b-3p, miR-190b, and miR-429 may serve as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers for breast cancer. This study demonstrated the roles of these 3 miRNAs in the initiation and progression of breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of HIV-1 genotypes and drug resistance in newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients in Baoding in 2020.Methods:A self-developed method was used to amplify the pol gene sequence of HIV-1, and the sequencing results were analyzed by phylogenetic analysis and compared with the Stanford drug resistance database to determine the HIV-1 subtypes and gene mutations. Results:A total of 96 patients with HIV-1 infection were recruited in this study, and 83 pol gene sequences were successfully obtained. In the study population, 88 (91.7%) were male with an average age of 39 years and 54 (56.3%) were married. Most of the patients were infected through sexual contact (95.8%, 92/96), and 75.0% (72/96) were through homosexual transmission. Phylogenetic analysis showed that various HIV-1 subtypes were detected and among them, CRF01_AE (51.8%, 43/83), CRF07_BC (24.1%, 20/83) and B subtype (10.8%, 9/83) were the most epidemic strains. Moreover, the subtypes of newly identified recombinant strains in recent years accounted for 13.3% (11/83). Drug resistance test results showed that the pre-treatment drug resistance rate in newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients was 8.4% (7/83), and the drug resistance rates to protease inhibitor (PIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and integrase inhibitors (INIs) were 3.6% (3/83), 1.2% (1/83) and 3.6% (3/83), respectively. Conclusions:The HIV-1 subtypes in the newly diagnosed population in Baoding in 2020 were complex and diverse. There were many unique recombinant strains and drug-resistant strains. Therefore, it was necessary to strengthen drug resistance monitoring as well as the prevention and control of HIV-1 infection in this area.
