Objective To investigate and analyze the related factors about the occurrence of thyroid diseases induced by interfer‐on in treating the chronic hepatitis B .Methods A retrospective analysis and following up of 213 interferon‐treated patients with chronic hepatitis B were performed .They were treated for 48 weeks and Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the risk factors of thyroid dysfuncion .Patients were followed up for 48 weeks after drug withdrawal .Results In 213 patients received interferon therapy ,there were 38 cases suffered thyroid dysfunction ,nine of which were hypothyroidism including six cases of Hashimoto′s disease and 3 cases of non‐autoimmune thyroid dysfunction ,six of which were hyperthyroidism including 3 cases of Grave disease and 3 cases of destructive thyroiditis ,five of which were subclinical hyperthyroidism and 18 of which were subclinical hypothyroidism .Until 48 weeks of following‐up after treatment ,all patients with thyroid function was normal .Logistic regression a‐nalysis showed that the risk factors of female(OR=3 .696) ,hepatitis C virus infection over the same period (OR=3 .675) and pre‐stored anti‐thyroid peroxidase antibody(OR=2 .008) were correlated independently with the suffering of interferon induced thyroid diseases in the chronic hepatitis B patients .Conclusion For patients with chronic hepatitis B virus using interferon therapy ,espe‐cially the woman who pre‐stored anti‐thyroid peroxidase antibody in a large number and infected with hepatitis C virus ,the clinical therapy should monitor the related index of thyroid function regularly to prevent the happening of thyroid diseases .

Objective To investigate the correlations between social support and self efficacy of young and middle-aged patients with peritoneal dialysis. Method The status of social support and self-efficacy of 97 young and middle-aged patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis were investigated and the correlation were analyzed. Results The score on social was (28.0 ± 6.4), lower than the norm (P < 0.01). The score on self-efficacy was (2.38 ± 0.62). The level of confidence was lower in 28 cases (28.9%), high in 58 cases (59.8%), very high in 11 cases (11.3%). The self-efficacy was positively correlated with social support, subjective support and support utilization (all P<0.05). Conclusions The levels of social support and self-efficacy are lower than the norm in young and middle-aged patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. The self-efficacy is positively correlated with social support including subjective support and support utilization, which indicates that improved social support is effective for the improvement of self-efficacy by providing patients with family and social support.

Objective To study the effect of Perfadex and Wisconsin Unviersity solution on the function of pulmonary artery endothelium.Methods Small lobe pulmonary arteries were dissected from nine porcine lungs.The artery from each lung was cut into six rings in 2mm.Two of them were randomly incubated in Krebs,Perfadex or Wisconsin Unviersity solution (UW solution) at 4℃ for 4 hours.Endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF)-mediated relaxation (percentage of-7.5 logM U46619 precontraction) induced by bradykinin or calcium ionophone A23187 in the present of indomethacin,L-NNA and oxyhemoglobin were measured at 37 ℃ in the organ chambers.Results Vasoconstriction induced by U46619 is no significant difference among three groups (P＞ 0.05).Compared with Krebs group,the relaxation induced by bradykinin or A23187 was significantly decreased in Perfadex group (P＜0.01),while there is no significant difference in UW group (P＞0.05).Conclusion Endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) plays an important role in endothelium-mediated relaxation of porcine pulmonary artery.EDHF-mediated relaxation is impaired when the lung preserved with Wisconsin Unviersity solution,wheras its function is not affected by Perfadex solution.

Objective To investigate the polymorphisms of-139 and -336 nucleotides in dendritic cells specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) promoter region in context of HIV susceptibility, infection routines and HIV/AIDS progress. Methods Polymorphisms of -139 and -336 nucleotides in DC-SIGN were examined in 160 HIV-positive subjects and 178 healthy controls;the Spearman test was performed to analyze their associations with HIV infection status. Results In 160 HIV-positive subjects, there were 92 (57.5%) with-139C, 68 (42.5%) with-139T, 29 (18.1%) with-336C and 131 (81.9%) with -336T. The frequencies of -139T/C and -336T/C in HIV-positive subjects were similar to those in the healthy controls (χ2 =0. 121 and 1. 754, P ＞0.05 ). No differences were found in the distribution of -139T/C or -336T/C in HIV-positive subjects infected via sex intercourse or intravenous drug (χ2 =0. 435 and 0. 103, P ＞ 0. 05 ). -139C was usually companied with -336C ( r = 0. 359, P ＜ 0.01 ).-139T (27.9%) were more frequently presented in patients with CD4 +T cells ≤50 cells/μL than -139C( 23.0%, χ2 = 4.055, P ＜ 0.05 ). -139T/C and -336T/C were not related to HIV RNA levels ( t = - 0. 643and - 1. 637, P ＞ 0.05). Conclusions Genotype -139C in DC-SIGN promoter region usually coexist with -336C. Polymorphisms of -139 and -336 are not related to HIV susceptibilities or HIV infection routes.-139T genotype may be related to serious depletion on CD4 + T cells.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the tubular gastric width and the anti gastroesophageal reflux after esophageal cancer operation,and to provide reference for the choice of surgical methods in treatment of esophageal cancer.Methods Selected 60 patients who received radical surgery for esophageal carcinoma combined with gastric tube reconstruction surgery in our hospital from January 2015 to October 2015,and divided them into two groups according to the way of stomach tube anastomosis (cervical anastomosis,thoracic anastomosis) and different width of gastric tube (greater than or equal to or less than 3 cm).Namely:cervical anastomosis + greater than or equal to 3 cm group(14 cases),cervical anastomosis + less than 3 cm group(15 cases),thoracic anastomosis + greater than or equal to 3 cm group(15 cases) and thoracic anastomosis + less than 3 cm group(16 cases).All patients recieved esophageal pH monitoring for 3 days continuously from the 11 th day after operation.The monitoring indicators include:number of reflux,accumulation time of pH ＜ 4,whether there were clinical symptoms (heartburn,chest pain,pharyngeal foreign body sensation,cough,asthma,etc.) after surgery,and the frequency and time of these clinical symptoms appeared.All the patients were given endoscopic examination at the 14th days postoperatively.Observed the esophageal mucosa of patients and conducted histopathological grading of gastric mucosal inflammation.And then made a correlation analysis of gastric tube width and esophageal mucosal inflammation grade among all the patients with reflux symptoms.Results The cumulative time and number of reflux,incidence rate of clinical symptoms,and pH values less than 4 were significantly different(P ＜ 0.05).The cumulative time and number of reflux,incidence rate of clinical symptoms,and pH values less than 4 in the cervical anastomosis + less than 3 cm group were significantly lower than that in the other 3 groups(P ＜ 0.05),with statistical significance between different groups of endoscopic esophageal mucosa inflammation grade difference (P ＜ 0.05).Esophageal mucosal inflammation grading in patients of the cervical anastomosis + less than 3 cm group was the lightest.It showed a linear correlation between the gastric tube width and esophageal mucosal inflammation grading in patients with reflux symptoms.Conclusion Postoperative gastroesophageal reflux is closely related to stomach esophagus width after resection of esophageal carcinoma with tubular stomach reconstruction of stomach esophagus,because it is unable to control gastric tube width to the appropriate range.And it should be strengthened in patients with reflux related indicators for monitoring,so as to take measures to prevent gastroesophageal reflux as soon as possible to improve the prognosis of patients with quality.

BACKGROUND:The immunomodulatory ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)gives it a promising future in treating graft-versus-host disease(GVHD),especially with previous success in treating patients with acute GVHD.However,there are fewer reports concerning BMSCs in treating chronic GVHD,particularly for sclerodermatous chronic graft-versus-host disease(ScGVHD).OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment of BMSCs for ScGVHD,and to primarily explore the immunological mechanism of clinical efficacy.METHODS:Four ScGVHD patients at the Affiliated Hospital of Academy of Military Medicine Science,between September 2006 and August 2008,were enrolled for this trial.The median patient age was 41 years,1 female and 3 male.The patients received BMSCs infusion at a dose of(1.0～2.0)×10~7 cells every time by intrabone marrow injection from the anterosuperior iliac spine and BMSCs from the same donor for the same patient were infused more than once.Concomitant medications for ScGVHD were individualized for each patient,but all were current standard medicines and the doses were significantly tapered.RESULTS AND CONCLUTION:After BMSCs infusion,the ratio of Th1 to Th2 was dramatically overturned,with an increase of Th1 and a decrease of Th2 reaching at a new balance.Correspondingly,symptoms of all the four patients gradually improved.During the course of BMSCs treatment,the life signs and laboratory results from the recipients remained normal.By the time of this report,there has been no recurrence of leukemia in the four patients.Although this study alone cannot guarantee the application of BMSCs in ScGVHD,the results are strongly in favor of the idea that the BMSCs treatment for ScGVHD patients is therapeutically practical without any detectable side effects,which may provide a new insight into the matter of treating ScGVHD clinically,thus will greatly increase the survival rate of leukemia after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

Objective To investigate the effect of different frequencies of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) on diagnosis of duodenal submucesal lesions. Methods A total of 210 elevated duodenal lesions detected by routine endoscopy in 201 patients were examined by EUS at different frequencies according to lesion features and image clarity. Endoscopic resection was applied in 27 lesions with informed consents,and pathological findings were compared with the results of EUS. Results The accuracy of EUS was 81.4% (22/27). Ultrasound of low frequency was superior in displaying overview of lesion and was more suitable for lesions larger than 1.5 cm in diameter or lesions of hyperecho. On the other hand,ultrasound of high frequency was more reliable to reveal minute structures and could be employed in scanning lesions smaller than 1.5 cm in diameter. Combination of different frequencies of ultrasound could provide more details in larger lesions. Conclusion Application of appropriate frequency or combined frequencies of ultrasound in examination of elevated duodenal lesions is beneficial to achieve more accurate diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the relationship between proactive personality, resilience and achievement motivation of military cadets, and to explore the mediating role of resilience between proactive personality and achievement motivation, as well as the moderating effect of cadets’leading ability on this mediating role.Methods:In this study, 109 military cadets were measured with proactive personality scale, Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) and achievement motivation scale. SPSS 26.0 was used for descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis.Results:①There was a significant correlation among the total scores of proactive personality, resilience and achievement motivation ( Ps<0.01). ②Proactive personality could significantly predict the level of achievement motivation ( a=0.454, P<0.001), and resilience could significantly predict the level of achievement motivation ( b=0.231, P=0.019). ③Resilience significantly mediated the relationship between proactive personality and achievement motivation ( c′=0.3, P=0.003). ④Cadets' leading ability moderated the effect of resilience on achievement motivation (index=0.338, 95% CI: 0.057 to 0.881). The mediating effect of resilience between proactive personality and achievement motivation was significant for cadets' leaders (Effect=0.381, 95% CI: 0.085 to 1.005), but not significant for other students (Effect=0.043, 95% CI: -0.069 to 0.252). Conclusion:The proactive personality of military cadets can affect the level of achievement motivation through psychological resilience, which is also moderated by cadre identity, suggesting that military education should improve the level of achievement motivation in many ways.

Objective:To investigate the level of psychological stress, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) of military medical students under the condition of normalized prevention and control of the epidemic.Methods:A total of 225 students from a military university were selected by random sampling method. Chinese perceived stress scale (CPSS), Perceived social support scale (PSSS), Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and PTSD Checklist-5 (PCL-5) were used to measure the mental health of the subjects and influencing factors. SPSS 26.0 was used to conduct independent sample t test and ANOVA analysis. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted, and multiple regression equation was used to further analyze the relationship between psychometric factors. Results:The SAS scores of 22.2% (50/225) of the subjects and PCL-5 scores of 30.7% (69/225) of the subjects reached the positive standard. The results of correlation analysis showed that the total score of PSSS was negatively correlated with CPSS ( r=-0.315, P<0.01), SAS ( r=-0.336, P<0.01) and PCL-5 ( r=-0.137, P<0.05) scores. The score of family support negatively predicted the level of psychological stress ( B=-0.595, P<0.001), anxiety ( B=-0.635, P<0.001) and PTSD level ( B=-0.769, P=0.006) of the students. Conclusion:Social support, especially family support, has a significant protective effect on psychological stress, anxiety and PTSD during the period of normalized prevention and control of the epidemic.
