Objective To develop a new instrument, the resilience scale for military personnel, and examine its reliability and validity. Methods The resilience scale for military personnel was compiled according to open-ended inventory survey . The sample consisted of 860 soldiers, 50 of them were re-tested with the new scale, another 80 tested by Chinese Military Mental Health Scale (CMMHS) at the same time. Factor analysis and Pearson's correlations were used to examine the reliability and validity of the resilience scale for military personnel. Results Based on factor analysis result, 5 factors were extracted, and added 1 lie factor, there were 32 items in theformal scale. The the Cronbach'α of total scale was 0.925, and subscales 0.597～0.810(P<0.01) , split-half reliability was 0.895 of total scale, and 0.384～0.739 of subscales (P < 0.01) ; retest reliability was 0.447 of total scale, and 0.494～0.658 of subscales(P<0.01 or P<0.05). The correlation was significant between the factors of this scale and factors of CMMHS. Conclusion The resilience scale for military personnel has good reliability and validity. The resilience scale has good psychological quality and proves to be applicable to Chinese military personnel in evaluating their resilience.

Objective To develop a mental resilience scale for military personnel and examine the reliability and validity of this scale.MethodsA total of 2611 male officers and soldiers chosen by random cluster sampling to outline the mental resilience scale for military personnel,with the subjects divided into group A and group B.In group A (n=1112) exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis were used,and in group B (n=1499) confirmatory factor analysis was used.ResultsThe results of exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis indicated that the Cronbach'? coefficient of total scale was 0.833,and that of subscales was 0.535-0.880;split-half reliability coefficient of total scale was 0.787,and that of subscales 0.339-0.611;retest-reliability coefficient of total scale was 0.401,and that of subscales 0.302-0.668.The correlation coefficients of total scale scores and each factor were 0.445-0.786 (P

Emergence and broad spread of chloroquine resistance urge human beings to change drug policy in malaria control and to find more effective new drugs. Nevertheless, chloroquine is still used in the treatment of falciparum malaria in some poor endemic regions due to economic and development reasons. It should be of great significance to un-derstand the mechanism of chloroquine resistance and find the way to reverse it in order to bring chloroquine with high efficacy and low cost back to the first line of the combat to malaria. Advent and development of resistance reversal agents provide a new clue for this purpose. When used together with chloroquine, it can partly restore the efficacy of chloroquine in resistant Plasmodium falciparum. The article summarizes the research progress on chloroquine resistance in P. falciparum and resistance reversers.

Objective To study the potentiation of chloroquine activity and mechanism by ketotifen and cyproheptadine in in vitro cultured Plasmodium falciparum Fcc SM1/yN strain. Methods In vitro cultured Fcc SM1/yN strain was added to pre-prepared drug plates at 50 ?l/well after synchronization to make final concentration of 0.312 5-2 560 nmol/L for chloroqine and of 9.80-5 000 nmol/L for ketotifen or cyproheptadine. After 34 hours' culture in 37 ℃, the number of schizonts with 3 or more nuclei was calculated among 200 parasites under microscope. Calculated half inhibitive concentration ( IC50 ) of chloroquine and every drug combination to parasite as well as chloroquine activity enhancement index ( AEI) of ketotifen (or cyproheptadin) . Time dependency of potentiation was studied. All data were analyzed statistically with SPSS 13.0. After 20 hours' action of one optimal combination dose of chloroquine/ketotifen or chloroquine/cyproheptadine, RNA of the Fcc SM1/yN strain was extracted and real-time PCR was used to determine the expression level of pfcrt and pfmdr1 genes. Results The best potentiation effect was observed with ketotifen or cyproheptadine of 625 nmol/L, with IC50 of 74.53 nmol/L for chloroquine/ketotifen and 89.7 nmol/L for chloroquine/cyproheptadine respectively, and activity enhancement index (AEI) of 0.42 for chloroquine/ketotifen and 0.30 for chloroquine/cyproheptadine respectively. Combination of 625 nmol/Lketotifen or cyproheptadine with 5 nmol/L chloroquine showed the highest potentiation potency. 6-7 hours during which ketotifen or cyproheptadine was added after chloroquine showed the highest effect, with IC50 of 67.70 nmol/L for chloroquine/ketotifen and 81.53 nmol/L for chloroquine/cyproheptadine respectively, and the AEI was 0.47 for chloroquine/ketotifen and 0.37 for chloroquine/cyproheptadine respectively. After action of chloroquine/ketotifen or chloroquine/ cyproheptadine at one optimal combination dose, expression level of pfcrt gene increased by 91% and that of pfmdr1 gene decreased by 14% respectively. Conclusion Appropriate combination of chloroquine/ketotiphen or chloroquine/ cyproheptadine potentiates chloroquine against in vitro cultured P. falciparum. 6-7 hour period is an optimal time when ketotifen or cyproheptadine was added after chloroquine. Potentiating activity of ketotifen and cyproheptadine may be related to the expression level of pfcr t and pfmdr1 genes.

Objective: To investigate the CT and MRI findings of solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas(SPTP),and to improve the diagnosis of the disease.Methods: Three female SPTP patients received CT examination,1 of them underwent MRI in addition,and all the cases were surgically and pathologically confirmed later.Results: CT images revealed huge solid-cystic mass in the pancreas of the 3 patients,1 with calcification in the mass and all without dilation of the bile duct.MRI exhibited mixed signal intensity on T1WI and T2WI.Both CT and MRI showed obvious enhancement of the cystic wall and the solid part of the mass.Conclusion: SPTP has its characteristic imaging manifestations,which may contribute a lot to the diagnosis of the disease.

The effects of the Biological Suppressor of Cancer(BSG)on human normal hone marrow cells and leukaemic cells were studied.There are some evidences that the BSC possesses a biological activities which apparently kill leukaemic cells and inhibit their DNA synthesis,but it has no such effects on erythroblast.The BSC extracted from ascites of ascitic tumors shows no cancer lines specificity,nor tissue specificity.
