ObjectiveTo evaluate whether the junior high school students reared by their grandparents in 0～3 years old have more emotional and behavioral problems than their counterparts who reared by birth parents since birth. MethodsThis study was carried out to compare emotional and behavioral outcomes,using Youth Self-Report(YSR) between junior high school students reared by their grandparents in 0～3 years old and junior high school students reared by birth parents since their birth. ResultsTwo-sample test showed that the study group had significantly higher raw scores of the YSR sub-scale of somatic complaint[(2.93±2.83) vs (2.00±2.35),t=2.08,P＜0.05],social problems[(3.56±2.20) vs (2.42±1.99),t=3.15,P＜0.01],thought problems[(3.29±3.26) vs (2.16±2.29),t=2.30,P＜0.05],delinquency [(2.77±2.33) vs 2.01±1.60),t=2.19,P＜0.05] ,aggression[(7.89±6.32) vs 5.96±4.66),t=2.01,P＜0.05],externalizing problems [(10.67±8.07) vs (7.97±5.61),t=2.19,P＜0.05]and total problems [(42.64±22.76) vs (33.61±19.25),t=2.47,P＜0.05]than the comparison group. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to control the effects of live events stress. The following analyses showed that the two groups showed no significant difference except for social problems (P＜0.05). ConclusionMany factors that affect mental health of the junior high school students. There is a significant differences in the social problems between the junior high school students reared by grandparents from infancy to the toddler stage and their counterparts. The grandparents should pay more attention to help their grandchildren developing social skills in their babyhood.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of ETView visual endotracheal intubation in elderly patients with a potentially difficult airway under general anesthesia.Methods A total of 80 patients scheduled for elective surgery,with at least three characteristics indicative of an increased risk for difficult tracheal intubation and aged 65-86 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade [Ⅱ or Ⅲ,were selected and randomly assigned into 2 groups:the control group (Group C) and the ETView visual endotracheal intubation group (Group E) (n=40 for each).After induction with propofol 0.5-1.5 mg/kg,sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg,and rocuronium 0.6mg/kg,regular tracheal intubation and ETView visual endotracheal intubation were conducted in Group C and Group E respectively.Blood pressure and heart rate were recorded before induction (T0),before initial intubation (T1),at successful intubation (T2),and 5min after successful intubation (T3).Duration of catheterization,number of intubation attempts,rate of successful intubation at first attempt and complications within 2 days of intubation were also recorded.Results The duration of catheterization and the number of intubation attempts were lower in Group E than in Group C[(34±6) s vs.(48± 22) s,(1.0±0.0) vs.(1.4±0.4),t=2.484 and 2.373,respectively,P=0.017 and 0.023,respectively].The rate of successful intubation at first attempt was higher in Group E than in GroupC (100％ or 40 cases vs.75％ or 30 cases),x2=5.714,P=0.017).There was no significant difference in hemodynamic changes and the rate of postoperative hoarseness between the two groups (P＞0.05 for both).Conclusions ETView visual endotracheal intubation shows excellent safety in elderly patients with a difficult airway under general anesthesia,with shorter catheterization duration and a higher rate of successful intubation at first attempt than regular intubation.

Objective To observe the effects of fluvastatin on proliferation and apoptosis of HL-60 cells,and to offer the theoretical evidence for tumor treatment.Methods HL-60 cells were divided into:fluvastatin groups(0.5,5.0,10.0 and 20.0 ?mol?L-1),HL-60 control group,positive control group(treated with 10.0 ?mol?L-1ATRA).The live cell number was counted for cell proliferation assay.The growth inhibitory rate of HL-60 cells was detected using CCK-8 kit.The cell cycle distribution and apoptotic rate were measured using flow cytometry assay.Results Compared with control group,after HL-60 cells were treated with 0.5,5.0,10.0 and 20.0 ?mol?L-1of fluvastatin for 1-4 d,the number of live cells decreased in different level(P

Objective To investigate the computed tomography (CT) features of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP).Methods The CT imaging data of 33 patients with AIP confirmed by pathology and/or steroid therapy were retrospectively analyzed.Image analysis including the shape of pancreas, density of lesion, contrast enhancement, the changes of pancreatic duct and biliary duct, peripancreatic appearances and adjacent organ involvement.T test was performed for statistical analysis.Results Among 33 patients with AIP, 23 cases (70%) with pancreatic parenchyma diffuse enlargement, eight cases (24%) with partial enlargement and two cases (6%) with normal pancreas.The lesions appeared hypoattenuating or isoattenuating on plain CT scan.After contrast-enhanced scan, the average CT values of lesions were (75.7±17.0) Hu at arterial phase, which was lower than that of venous phase (90.7±12.0) Hu, and the difference was statistically significant (t=3.378,P=0.002).The lesions demonstrated as progressive enhancement at venous phase.Among 33 patients, the main pancreatic duct was visible in six patients (18%).Sixteen patients (48%) presented with intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary tract dilatation caused by intrapancreatic common bile duct stenosis.Thickened envelope-like structure around the lesions, presenting as capsule sign was seen in 14 patients (42%).Extra-pancreatic organ involvement was found in seven patients including three cases of kidney involvement.After treated with steroid, seven patients repeated CT which showed different degrees of improvement.Conclusion The main CT findings of AIP are diffuse and partial enlargement of pancreas with progressive enhancement at venous phase, envelope-like structure around pancreas, and stenosis of intrapancreatic common bile duct, which are important in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of AIP.

The present paper is a research on independent component analysis (ICA) method in the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) extraction. Based on the fundamental model for the ICA and the fixed-point FastICA algorithm using negentropy, damped Newton iteration was used in place of Newton iteration. The algorithm was improved in order to overcome the drawbacks where it is more sensitive to choosing the initial value. The improved algorithm was used to extract the FECG. A synthetic ECG was used in the experiments, and three simulation signal sources were selected, including two sources of ECG and one Gaussian noise source. The experimental results were satisfactory, The convergence rate was faster and the error was smaller.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on the left ventricular function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Thirty ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged 42-70 yr,with body height 152-181 cm,weighing 43-78 kg,scheduled for elective CABG under CPB,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and sevoflurane preconditioning group (group SP).Group SP inhaled sevoflurane with the end-tidal concentration corresponding to 1 MAC for 30 min after endotracheal intubation.Before sevoflurane preconditioning (T0) and at 60 min after termination of CPB (T1),mean arterial pressure (MAP),stroke volume index (SVI),pulmonary artery obstruction pressure and the TEE variables including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),peak E wave velocity (E),systolic wave velocity (S),and diastolic wave velocity (D),and low propagation velocity (Vp) were recorded.S/D ratio and E/Vp ratio were calculated.Extubation time and duration of ICU stay were also recorded.Results Compared with the baseline value at T0,HR was significantly increased at T1 (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01),and no significant change was found in the other parameters of the left ventricle function in the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the parameters of the left ventricle function,extubation time and duration of ICU stay between SP group and C group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Preconditioning with inhalation of sevoflurane with the end-tidal concentration corresponding to 1 MAC before CPB does not produce myocardial protection in terms of the left ventricular function or exerts little effect on the short-term outcomes.

Objective To analyze the sensitivity and specificity of several volume parameters regarding volume responsiveness.The studied volume parameters include pulmonary artery obstruc-tion pressure (PAOP),central venous pressure (CVP),right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RV-EDV)measured by Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter and left ventricular end-diastolic area (LVEDA),inferior vena cava diameter (IVC)measured by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods Twelve patients with ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ,scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting were studied.After anesthesia induction,the TEE probe was put into the esophagus and Swan-Ganz cathe-ter was placed in right internal jugular venous.Measurements were made at the time before cutting the skin (T0 ),20 min after divorcing from cardiopulmonary bypass or finishing vascular anastomosis in off-pump surgery(T1 ),10 min after rapid infusion (T2 )and 30 min after rapid infusion (T3 ),re-spectively.Results The values of PAOP,IVC,LVEDA,COLVOT at time T2 increased significantly compared to those at time T1 (P <0.01).No obvious correlation (r=-0.298 5、r=-0.091 8、r=-0.243 6)was observed between △CVP、△PAOP、△RVEDV and △COLVOT (the difference between T2 and T1 );Meanwhile,△IVC and △LVEDA were well correlated to △COLVOT (r= 0.445 0、r=0.612 0).Using more than 1 5% change of COLVOT after volume expansion as definition of positive re-sponse,the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of CVP,PAOP,RVEDV,IVC and LVEDA were 0.389 (95% CI 0.035-0.743 ),0.458 (95% CI 0.109-0.807 ),0.333 (95% CI 0-0.671 ), 0.903 (95% CI 0.701-1.000 ) and 0.889 (95% CI 0.661-1.000 ), respectively. Conclusion PAOP,IVC,LVEDA,CO are more sensitive to the change of volume;while CVP and RVEDV have weak responses to volume changes.This indicates that IVC and RVEDA have more ad-vantage to estimate cardiac output increase and guide volume therapy.

Objective To evaluate the changes in the right ventricular systolic and diastolic function during the early period after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods Eighteen ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes,with coronary heart disease (NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ),aged 50-80 yr,weighing 51-96 kg,with left ventricular ejection fraction≥50％,scheduled for elective CABG under CPB,were enrolled in this study.Before splitting of sternum and at 5 min after termination of CPB,the parameters of hemodynamics,cardiac output (CO)and variables of right ventricular function (using transesophageal echocardiography) including tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE),right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC),tricuspid annular peak velocity during isovolumic contraction (IVV),peak velocity during ejection phases (St),early diastolic peak velocity (Et),late diastolic peak velocity (At),E/Et ratio and Et/At ratio were recorded.Results Compared with the baseline value before splitting of sternum,TAPSE,IVV,St,RVFAC,CO,E,Et and At were significantly increased,and no significant change was found in the parameters of hemodynamics and E/Et and Et/At ratios at 5 min after termination of CPB.Conclusion For the patients undergoing CABG,the right ventricular systolic function is significantly enhanced,and there is no obvious improvement in the right ventricular diastolic function during the early period after CPB.

Objective To investigate the expression of pSTAT5 in 7 pancreatic carcinoma cell lines,and the change of expression of pSTAT5 in pancreatic carcinoma cells SW1990 after growth hormone (GH) treatment, and explore its molecular mechanism. Methods Human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines (SW1990, Cap-1, Colo, Mia, AsPc, P3, PANC1) were cultured in vitro, and Western blotting was used to detect the expression of pSTAT5 in these cell lines. SW1990 in exponential growth phase was collected and nude Balb/c mice were inoculated with SW1990 cells. When tumors became palpable after inoculation, mice (normal saline group). 1 h, 2 h and 24 h after the last dose of GH treatment, the mice were sacrificed.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of pSTAT5 in SW1990 and inoculation tumor cells after GH injection. Results Positive expression of pSTAT5 was observed in all human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines (SW1990, Cap-1, Colo, Mia, Aspc, P3, PANC1). 5 minutes after GH (50 ng/ml) stimulation, the expression of pSTAT5 in SW1990 was 0.57 ±0.05, which was significantly increased; and it reached 0.64 ±0.04 at 10 minutes, then decreased to 0.39 ±0.03 at 15 minutes, however, it remained higher than that in the control group at 1 h (0.33 ± 0.02 vs 0.25 ± 0.06), and its expression at 2 h was 0.26 ± 0.03 and returned to the normal level. The expression of pSTAT5 in xenograft was not significantly changed. Conclusions GH could rapidly up-regulate the expression of pSTAT5 in SW1990 but the effect lasted for a relatively short period. GH had no significant effect on the expression of pSTAT5 in xenograft.
