Objective: To study the relationships among attributional style, self-efficacy and subjective well-being(SWB). Methods: 269 college students participated the study. Attributional Style Questionnaire , Self-efficacy Questionnaire and Subjective Well-being(SWB) Questionnaire were applied to the college students. Results: ① Attributional style predicated SWB, but three dimensions (internality-externality; whole-part; controllability-uncontrollability)of negative events were significant negative predicators of SWB. ② Self-efficacy was a significant positive predicator of SWB. ③ There were no differences in SWB between sexes and specialities. ④ There were significant differences in SWB between students with different self-efficacy levels, and the SWB of high self-efficacy group was better than that of the low self-efficacy group. Conclusion: College students'attributional style and self-efficacy impact their subjective well-being.Educators should cultivate students's positive attributional style and enhance their self-efficacy.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanisms of NF-?B decoy oli- godeoxynucleotides(ODNs)on rat liver graft following ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Ani- mals were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=8 in each group):control group,ischemia-reperfusion (IR)group,and decoy ODNs group,in which donor grafts were transfected with 120?g NF-?B decoy ODNs before graft procurement.Following 2 h of reperfusion,Kupffer cells(KCs)were isolated,and NF-?B biding activity was detected with electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA),and TNF-?、IL- 6 mRNA expression was assayed by using RT-PCR method.Meanwhile,the liver and serum samples were collected,the histopathologic change of liver was examined by light microscope,and liver func- tion was analyzed.Results The NF-?B biding activity,TNF-?,IL-6 mRNA expression,and the ALT,TBIL levels in serum were significantly increased following 2 h of reperfusion in IR group as compared with those in control group(P＜0.01).A large amount of degeneration and necrosis in hep- atocytes accompanied with obvious congestion in hepatic sinusoid occurred.However,these tested in- dexes were significantly ameliorated in decoy ODNs group as compared with those in IR group(P＜0.01),and the architecture of hepatic lobules was remained.Conclusions KCs NF-?B activation fol- lowing reperfusion plays an important role in IRI in liver transplantation.Decoy strategy shows appar- ent effect on suppression of NF-?B activation,and thus inhibits the production of downstream cyto- kines,which protects the liver graft from IRI.

Objective To summarize treatment experiences of microsurgical clipping for anterior communicating artery aneurysm via pterional approach.Methods Clinical data of 82 cases undergoing microsurgical clipping for anterior communicating artery aneurysm via pterional approach in the first affiliated hospital of Kunming Medical University from October 2008 to December 2014 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into different groups by Hunt-Hess illness grading scale,with 11 cases for level 0,7 cases for level Ⅰ,30 cases for level Ⅱ,25 cases for level Ⅲ,8 cases for level Ⅳ,and 1 cases for level Ⅴ.Twenty-one patients underwent operation at early stage of SAH (＜3d),15 at late stage of SAH (4d～2W),and 35 at prolonged stage of SAH (＞2W).The prognosis of patients was evaluated according to GOS classification criteria at discharge.Results A total of 85 ACoAA were found in 82 patients and all of them were clipped and,at the same time,3 aneurysms were resected and 11 thrombuses were punctured,cut and removed.In the operation,15 (17.6％) aneurysms ruptured again and temporary blocking happened for 73 times,with the shortest blocking time of 2 rmin,the longest of 40 rmin,and the average of 9.26min.According to GOS score,good recovery rate was 79.3％ (65/82),moderate disability rate was 12.2％ (10/82),severe disability rate was 3.7％ (3/82),vegetative state rate was 0％,and death rate was 4.9％ (4/82).Good recovery rates for the operations at early,late and prolonged stage of SAH were 85.7％,73.3％ and 82.3％ respectively and for level 0 to level Ⅴ were 90.9％,85.6％,86.7％ and 84.0％,25.0％ and 0.0％ respectively.Results of DSA or CTA re-examination upon 55 patients followed-up at discharge or three months after discharge showed that tumor pedicle were clipped and aneurysm disappeared.Fifty cases were followed up from four months to seven years after the operation,with one case of aneurysm recurrence.Another thirty-two cases were lost to follow-up.ConclusiornS Microsurgical techniques and microdissection are keys to successful operation.Pterional approach can guarantee successful clipping of aneurysms with different directions,locations and sizes.It is also an easy,effective and reliable approach with less postoperative complications.Operation for anterior communicating artery aneurysm should be performed as early as possible.

Objective To evaluate the effect of 3-dimmentional conformal radiotherapy (3-DCRT) for mediastinal metastasis from esophageal carcinoma after surgery.Methods Sixty-three such patients were treated by 3-DCRT. Tumor diameter was: cm 20 patients. Positive supraclavicular lymph node was found in 9 patients. The number of tumor at the upper right, upper left and upper median mediastinum was 27, 27 and 20. All patients received 3-DCRT to the dose of 40?Gy (2?Gy/f, 5f/w), after resetting of portals, the dose was boost to 64～70?Gy by 3?Gy/f, 5f/w. Dose of the patients who had been irradiated was boosted to 50?Gy without further positioning. Results Complete response rate and partial response rate were 43% and 48% one month after the treatment was concluded,with no progression of disease. The 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates were 75%, 43% and 15%. Conclusions Three-dimmentional conformal radiotherapy, with little side-effects, can markedly improve the local control rate and suvival rate of patients with mediastinal metastasis from esophageal carcinoma after surgery.

[Objective]Electrophoretic analysis of rat chemically extracted acellular nerve allograft(CEAN) protein was performed to investigate the protein of CEAN.Dorsal root ganglia of chicken were cultured onto the surface of CEAN slice to observe the effect of CEAN structure on the fiber regeneration.[Method]The CEAN were perpared according to Sondell method and electrophoresed to observed whether the electrophoresis strip of 28-30kDa(Myelin Protein) exited or not.Dorsal root ganglia of chicken were cultured onto thc surface of CEAN slice and dyed with nerve fiber fluorescence to observe the orientation of nerve fiber growth on the surface of CEAN slice.[Result]Electrophoretic analysis of rat CEAN protein showed that the electrophoresis strip of 28-30 kDa totally disappeared.A large number of nerve fibers grew from DRG along the basement membrane of CEAN.[Conclusion]No myelin protein remained in the CEAN,while the basement membrane structure of CEAN can induce the nerve fiber to grow.

[Objective] To investigate the biological characteristics of Wharton’[KG-38x]s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) and their differentiation into Schwann cell-like cells, and to provide a new cell seed source for nerve tissue engineering or cell therapy. [Methods]Umbilical arteries, veins and umbilical cord tunica externa were removed , and the remaining tissue (Wharton’[KG-38x]s jelly) was harvested.The umbilical cord was cut into small fragments and cultured with DMEM in orderto gather. Cultured WJMSCs were confirmed by the detection of MSC-specific cell-surface markers. WJMSCs were differentiated along a glial cell lineage using an established cocktail of growth factors. Immunocytochemical staining and Western blot were used to evaluate the characteristics of differentiated WJMSCs.[Results]WJMSCs were immunonegative for the haemopoietic cell-surface markers (CD34 and CD45) and neural stem cell marker (nestin), and immunopositive for MSC surface markers CD44, CD105, Stro-1 and vimentin. WJMSCs treated with a mixture of glial growth factors adopted a spindle-like morphology similar to Schwann cells. Immunocytochemical staining and Western blot analysis revealed that the treated cells expressed the glial markers p75 and glial fibrillary acidic protein indicative of differentiation.[Conclusion]WJMSCs can be differentiated into the cells that are Schwann-like in terms of morphologic features and phenotype and may be suitable as Schwann-cell substitutes for nerve repair in clinical application.

BACKGROUND:The rise of tissue engineering has opened up new ways for tissue repair and reconstruction of the urinary tract, and the bladder acellular matrix is a better alternative material for urinary tissue engineering.
OBJECTIVE:To construct the compound of hair fol icle stem cells with heterologous bladder acellular scaffold, and to observe the growth of hair fol icle stem cells on the scaffold.
METHODS:Bladder acellular matrix from New Zealand rabbits were prepared and detected using scanning electron microscopy and Masson staining. Passage 3 hair fol icle stem cells were statical y inoculated into the surface of bladder acellular matrix using secondary sedimentation method. Under inverted microscope, cellgrowth was observed, and cellgrowth curves were drawn. cellgrowth on the scaffold surface was observed through histological detection and scanning electron microscope observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Prepared bladder acellular matrix was a white translucent film with fiber mesh structure, and no residual cells were seen. Masson staining results indicated that the bladder acellular matrix had col agen structure, and no obvious residual cells. After culture for 48 hours, hair fol icle stem cells grew wel around the bladder acellular matrix under inverted microscope;1 week later, hair fol icle stem cells extended and adhered to the scaffold surface. These findings indicate that hair fol icle stem cells have a good biocompatibility with the bladder acellular matrix through in vitro culture.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of MTV measured by pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC).Methods The clinical data of 52 patients (31 males,21 females,median age 58.5 years) with pathologically or clinically proved PC from January 2011 to October 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Serum CA19-9 was measured within 1 week before PET/CT examination.SUVmax and MTV were measured respectively,and PET/CT staging was obtained simultaneously.All patients were followed up until January 2015.The CA19-9,MTV,SUVmax,PET/CT staging and clinical factors(age,gender,treatment methods) were assessed by ROC curve analysis,Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariate Cox model.Results The median survival time of 52 patients was (11.20±7.25) months.ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of MTV,SUVmax and CA19-9 were 0.735,0.614 and 0.527 respectively.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis manifested that the survival times were significantly different between patients with different MTV (＜ 12.14 cm3 vs ≥ 12.14 cm3),different SUVmax (＜ 8.95 vs ≥ 8.95),different PET/CT staging and different treatment methods (x2 =4.272-11.693,all P＜0.05).The survival time of patients with MTV ＜ 12.14 cm3 and that of patients with MTV ≥ 12.14 cm3 were (13.44±8.40) and (7.00± 4.82) months,respectively.Cox single-factor analyses indicated that MTV,PET/CT staging and SUVmax were risk factors of survival,the hazard ratios (HR) were 0.393,0.503,0.547 respectively (P=0.002,0.020,0.027).Cox multi-factor analyses indicated that MTV and PET/CT staging were independent risk predictors of survival.Conclusion MTV and PET/CT staging are significant factors in prognosis prediction of patients with PC,which would be helpful to make individual treatment for patients with high risks.
