Objective: To study shame of college student through phenomenological method. Method: 147 college students (male 53, female 94, average age 20.2) were involved. Each subject was asked to describe his/her personal shame experience, which was rate on phenomenological dimensions. Experience of Shame Scales (ESS) was used either. Result: The finding from phenomenological rating was in accord with the theory of “self orientation". Students with stronger shame proneness showed tendency to attribute negative events to him/herself. Conclusion: Shame is an acutely painful experience that involves a marked self-focus (self oriented) emotion. Shame proneness tended to have stronger sense of worthlessness and powerlessness and have much more strategies of denying and escaping in hard situations.

Objective The pathogenesis of T2DM has not been elucidated.This study aimed to explore the association of FXR gene polymorphisms with the risk of T2DM in Eastern China population. Methods We collected 467 cases in the Health Examination Center of our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012.Ligase detection reaction was performed to test the genotypes in 240 T2DM patients and 227 controls.Unconditioned logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association of FXR gene polymorphisms with the risk of T2DM in different genetic models, after adjusting for age, sex, smoking and drinking status. Results Compared with AA genotype, GG significantly increased the risk of T2DM (P=0.017), while GA+GG approached marginal significance in association with T2DM (P=0.049) in rs1030454.For rs10860598, GA reduced the incidence of T2DM (P=0.025) compared with AA genotype, while GA+GG had marginal significance with T2DM (P=0.049).For rs11110411, CT or CT+CC could reduce the risk of T2DM compared with TT with P value of 0.016 and 0.024 respectively.Compared with AA, GA or GA+GG in rs17030270 was negative with the risk of T2DM with P value of 0.018 and 0.032 respectively. Conclusion FXR gene polymorphisms are associated with the risk of T2DM in northern Chinese Han population and the variation of FXR gene may play a role in the pathogenesis of T2DM.

Objective To explore the effect of carnosine in the expression of B cell lymphomal/leukemia-2 (bcl-2) and bcl-2-associated X protein (bax) after focal cerebral ischemia in rats. Methods Thirty male SD rats (SPF scale) were ran?domly divided into 3 groups:sham-operated group, model group and carnosine treated group (n=10 for each group). The mid?dle cerebral artery occlusion model (MCAO) was induced in model group and carnosine treated group. Rats were received carnosine [1 000 mg/(kg·d), orally] in carnosine treated group, and the other rats were received the same volume of normal sa?line (NS) in shame-operated group and model group. The neurological deficit score was used to evaluate the neurological function at 24 h and 72 h after MCAO. Morphological changes were observed by HE staining. TCC staining was used to label infarct volume, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of bcl-2 and bax. Results Compared with model group, the score of neurological function and infarct volume were significantly declined in carnosine treated group at 72 h after injury (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The changes of ischemic impairment were lighter in carnosine treated group than that of model group. Compared with sham-operated group, the expression levels of bcl-2 and the ratio of bcl-2/bax were de?creased while the expression of bax was increased in model group (P<0.05). Compared with model group, carnosine could sig?nificantly increase the expression of bcl-2 and the ratio of bcl-2/bax, and reduce the expression of bax (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion Carnosine can enhance bcl-2 expression, decrease bax expression and increase the ratio of bcl-2/bax, which is likely to be one of the mechanisms of neuroprotection.
