Objective:To develop an appearance-management behavior scale for college female students.Methods:Based on literature analysis and open questionnaire,the preliminary scale was formed.A total of 822 college female students completed the scale.Exploratory and confirmatory factor analytic approaches were used to develop and evaluate the intra-structure of the scale.Results:Exploratory principle factor analysis of the items indicated that the scale had three factors.Internal consistency analysis showed that the Cronbach' ? coefficient,split-half and test-retest correlation coefficients were 0.88,0.86,0.77 respectively.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fit indexes for ?2/df,GFI,AGFI,NFI,NNFI,RMSEA,CFI,IFI were 3.20,0.87,0.83,0.82,0.85,0.085,0.87,0.87.Total scale had no significant correlation with SAAS,but with APS,PSS,IMS,SES (r=0.23,0.21,0.38,0.28,P

Kinesin-2 family proteins, including KIF3A, KIF3B, KIF3C and KIF17, are members of the kinesin superfamily motor proteins , which transport various proteins and vesicles in the cell and play diverse biological functions . Recently, studies on members of kinesin-2 family proteins suggest that they play fundamental roles during ciliary transport , whose defects can lead to abnormal cilia development , the major cause of human ciliopathies .In this review , we will sum-marize the functions of this motor protein family during ciliogenesis and focus mainly on their roles in the development of model organisms .

Objective To investigate the pharmacodynamic interactions between remifentanil and sevoflurane during general anesthesia for laparoscopic operation.Methods Sixty-five ASA I patients undergoing selective laparoscopic operations at the Department of Gynecology and the Department of General Surgery in People's Hospital were enrolled in this study.Sevoflurane was used for anesthesia induction with its expired concentration being kept stable,and different dosages of remifentanil(0,1,2,4,6,and 8 ng/ml)being added during the operation.When the expired concentration of sevoflurane reached an expected level(pseuto-state),the block somatic and cardiovascular responses to electrical tetanus stimuli(ETS;100 Hz,60 mA,5 s)were measured.The data were analyzed using NONMEM software to establish concentration-effect curves.Logistic regression was used to calculate the minimal alveolar concentration of sevoflurane under ETS(MACETS).Results In the cases received sevoflurane only,the somatic response was inhibited when MACETS reached 1.52%;while the cardiovascular response was inhibited when MACETS reached 2.24%.The MACETS was decreased significantly by adding low-dosage remifentanil.When the target-controlled concentration of remifentanil was 8 ng/ml,the MACETS for the inhibition of somatic and cardiovascular responses decreased by 70.0% and 76.3%,respectively.Conclusions There is a synergic effect between remifentanil and sevoflurane on the suppression of somatic and cardiovascular responses to ETS.Remifentanil produces a dose-dependent decrease of MACETS of sevoflurane.The effect is especially strong in low-dosage remifentanil group,but shows ceiling effect characteristics.

Objective To research the effect of postoperative intervention on the quality of life of cervical cancer patients, in order to provide the basis for improve the quality of life of patients after operation. Methods 86 cases of cervical cancer were divided into control group and intervention group by simple random grouping method, each group contained 43 cases. The postoperative interventions were used in the intervention group after 3 months, including psychological assessment, individual education, pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy, open patient service hotline and regular follow-up. Before and after 6 months of surgery, the quality of life of cervical cancer patients were investigated. Results The index score of social relations [(48.84±4.63) scores vs. (40.72±3.74) scores], psychological field [(73.72±2.84) scores vs. (64.07±4.06) scores], environmental field [(64.07±4.08) scores vs. (55.70±4.86) scores], physiological index [(44.77±4.22) scores vs. (36.53±4.29) scores], independence [(64.81 ±5.85) scores vs. (53.95±5.91)], quality of life [(88.30±5.75) scores vs. (76.65±5.21) scores] in cervical cancer patients were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the understanding degree of cervical cancer, radiotherapy and chemical therapy after surgery, postoperative complications, caregivers care in place and psychological intervention had correlation with the quality of life of patients in intervention group (all P<0.05), while retain ovarian and education degree had no correlation with the quality of life of patients after operation (both P>0.05). Conclusions The quality of life of cervical cancer patients after surgery is poor, and it is affected by many factors. The targeted interventions should be used in clinical works, which can significantly improve the quality of life of patients.

In order to evaluate the factor. which affect the five year survival rate and prognosti c factors of the early carcinoma of the esophagus and the gastric cardia treated with endoscopic Nd : YAG laser therapy , thirty-three patients were followed. Of the 33 patients , 32 ( 97% ) cases were cured , resul- ting in the disappearance of the cancer cells. They were followed up for 3 3- 78 months , with a mean of 55. 3 months. The survival rate of the 32 patients treated with endoscopic laser was computed with the Product limit estimate method ,and was compared with the natural history of early superficial carcinoma . of the esophagus and the gastric cardia. The five year survival rate was in 97% of the 32 patients treated with laser therapy ,in contrast to 67% (P

Objective To observe the synthesis of melanin and tyrosinase activity of the cultured normal human melanocytes after treated with baicalin and NB-UVB, and to provide theoretical evidence for study on the new therapy method of vitiligo.Methods The normal human menlanocytes cultured in vitro were divided into control group,different concentrations of baicalin groups,different doses of NB-UVB group and baicalin combined NB-UVB group.The proliferation rate of melanocytes was measured by MTT assay,the level of melanin was tested by NaOH pyrolysis,and the tyrosinase activity was measured by dopa oxidization.Results Compared with control group,the proliferation rates in 10-4 mol·L-1 baicalin group and 30 mJ·cm-2 NB-UVB group had no significant difference(P>0.05 ). Compared with control group, the levels of melanin and tyrosinase activities in baicalin group,NB-UVB group and combined group were increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);compared with baicalin group and NB-UVB group,the level of melanin and tyrosinase activity in combined group were increased(P<0.01). Conclusion Baicalin combined with NB-UVB has better promotion effect on melanin synthesis than used alone.

AIM: To determine the interactions with response-surface modeling methodologies when sevoflurane (Sevo) and remifentanil (Remi) were administered simultaneously. METHODS: (1) Patients, Study design and drug delivery: Based on parallel slices design, sixty-five patients were randomly assigned to inhale a specific end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane (0.3% to 3.4%), with different level of remifentanil (0-10 ng/mL). The responses to laryngoscopy were observed for each given concentration pair. (2) Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis with response surface mode: The probability of no response (P) was assessed in the modeling process as below. P=(Us+Ur)r/[U50/I(Q)]r+(Us+Ur)r RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: NONMEM estimated average values (RSE%) of the model parameters for laryngoscopy of C50,Sevo, C50,remi, U50, r, Imax and Qmax are 1.71% (12.9), 12.4 ng/mL (19.0), 6.62 (10.6), 1.53 (8.76), 2.31 (8.23), 0.706 (2.46), respectively. The inter-individual variability (CV%) in parameter Imax and inter-occasion variability (S.D.) in this model are 12.7 and 0.0316, respectively. It is concluded that the response-surface modeling approach provided a novel method to study drug-drug interactions.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of moderate aerobic exercise intervention for patients with Alzheimer's disease. Methods Randomized Clinical Trials(RCTs) that assessed the effectiveness of aerobic exercise intervention for patients with Alzheimer's disease were reviewed using multiple electronic databases systematically. Data were analyzed by RevMan 5.2.0 version. Results Eight RCTs were included. Meta-analysis indicated that moderate aerobic exercise could improve the score of MMSE(WMD=1.58,95%CI:0.63~2.53,P<0.01),reduce the score of Alzheimer's disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale(ADAS-Cog)(WMD=-4.06,95%CI:-6.83~-1.28,P<0.01) and the score of Neuropsychiatric Inventory(WMD=-3.97,95%CI:-5.69~-2.25,P<0.01). Conclusion Moderate Aer-obic exercise can improve cognitive function of Alzheimer's patients,and improve their neuropsychiatric symptoms.

It is difficult to reflect the properties of samples from the signal directly collected by the low field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyzer. People must obtain the relationship between the relaxation time and the original signal amplitude of every relaxation component by inversion algorithm. Consequently, the technology of T2 spectrum inversion is crucial to the application of NMR data. This study optimized the regularization factor selection method and presented the regularization algorithm for inversion of low field NMR relaxation distribution, which is based on the regularization theory of ill-posed inverse problem. The results of numerical simulation experiments by Matlab7.0 showed that this method could effectively analyze and process the NMR relaxation data.
