Objective: To investigate the stress and coping strategy of rescue surgical staff early after earth-quake. Methods: The self reporting questionnaire (SRQ-20) and coping styles questionnaire (CSQ) were distribu-ted to 37 surgical staff and 44 psychiatric staff (the control group) in Chengdu City 2 weeks after Wenchuan earth-quake. The results were analyzed by t test, correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis. Results: The grades of rescue surgical staff in SRQ-20 and negative coping styles factor was higher than that of the psychiatric staff [(9.3±4.7)vs.(3.2±3.9), (29.8±6.2) vs.(26.1±7.1); Ps<0.05] . The SRQ-20 score in rescue surgical staffs was positively correlated with negative coping styles factor (r=0.50, P=0.002) and age (R~2=0.168, P=0.012) . Conclusion: Surgical staff, especially the elder, have more intensive acute stress reaction. It is essential to publicize psychologic knowledge and improve mental health of surgical staff.

Objective Atherosclerosis ( AS) is a common pathological basis of cardiovascular diseases.Adiponec-tin ( APN) has been shown to have an anti-AS effect, and the underlying mechanisms, however, are largely unknown.Nu-clear transcription factorκB ( NF-κB) has also been regarded as a proatherogenic factor, mainly because of its regulation of a variety of the proinflammatory genes linked to AS.It is hypothesized that the inhibitory effects of APN on AS is through the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway.The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis via investigation and validation of the inhibitory effect of APN on AS in ApoE-/-mice, and to delineate the roles of NF-κB signaling pathway in modulating the APN effect on AS in vivo.Methods APN overexpression in ApoE-/-mice were mediated by transfecting adenovirus bearing a vector encoding for APN and enhanced green fluorescent protein ( Ad-APN-eGFP) .The AS in ApoE-/-mice was induced by feeding a high-fat diet.To validate the inhibitory effect of the adenovirus mediated APN overexpression on AS in the ApoE-/-mice.120 male ApoE-/-mice aged 12 weeks were randomly and evenly assigned into two groups (60 mice per group), and were fed with a high-fat diet to induce AS.At 0 day, 2, 4, and 6 weeks of high-fat diet feeding.The 2 groups of mice were injected intravenously in the tail with either 100 μL (3.0 ×108 p.f.u) of Ad-eGFP virus ( control group) or the same amount of Ad-APN-eGFP virus ( APN group) .Blood samples and aortic tissues were taken at 0 day, 4, and 8 weeks of high-fat diet feeding.For the blood samples, FABA was used to analyze the concentrations of blood lipids and ELIZA was used to test the concentrations of serum APN.For the aortic tissues, oil red O staining was used to detect the surface lesion percentage.Masson staining was used to evaluate the collagen content and fibrous cap thickness of the plaque area.Immunofluorescence method was used to detect APN and NF-κB p65 expression.Western blot was used to de-tect the expressions of APN,nuclear NF-κB p65 and the downstream factors of NF-κB pathway.Results APN inhibited the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in ApoE-/-mice.The lesion formation in aortic sinus was significantly inhibited ( P<0.01).Compared with the control group, the oil red O staining showed that the surface area ratio of atherosclerotic le-sions was decreased significantly in the Ad-APN group ( P<0.001 ): the percentage of surface lesions in the 4 weeks groups was 27.78 ±8.64 vs.33.02 ±5.18 (%);the 8 weeks groups was 31.58 ±5.87 vs.52.16 ±5.79 (%) .As the serum APN was increased,the concentration of TC, TG and LDL-C were significantly decreased( P<0.001 for all) , and the growth of body weight was slowed down(P<0.05).APN effectively inhibited the expression of NF-κB nuclear protein p65 and inflammatory factors.Conclusions Adiponectin reduces the inflammatory reactions in atherosclerosis through in-hibiting the NF-κB pathway.

Objective:To comprehensively evaluate the correlation between migraine and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke using Meta-analysis.Methods:The published observational studies on migraine and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke in PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane library, Chinese Biomedical Database, China Journal Full-text Database, Wanfang Database and VIP Database were retrieved by computers. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the databases to December 31, 2019. Two reviewers independently conducted the literature screening and data extraction, and evaluated the quality according to Newcastle Ottawa scale. Stata SE 12.1 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results:Six case-control studies and 7 cohort studies met the inclusion criteria, all of which were in English. The results of Meta-analysis showed that exposure to migraine increased the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (odds ratio [ OR] 1.47, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.23-1.76; P<0.001). Sensitivity analysis showed that the results were robust. Subgroup analysis showed that migraine with aura ( OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.05-1.81; P=0.019), migraine without aura ( OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.19-1.80; P<0.001), male ( OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.72-2.56; P<0.001) and female ( OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.22-1.92; P<0.001) migraine could increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Conclusion:Regardless of the gender of patients and presence or absence of migraine aura, migraine can significantly increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
