Objective To explore the personality characteristics of abused children in order to reduce the incidence of child abuse.Methods Two hundred and ninty five middle school students were investigated with general questionnaire and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire of children. Eighty six students experiencing child abuse (CA) last year as study group and one hundred and ninety six non-abuse children as controls (NCA) were analyzed by means of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire of children.Results The score of neuroticism in CA group was significantly higher than that in the control group (55.62±10.60/52.65±10.98,t=-2.114 P=0.035). The score of lie in CA group was significantly lower than that in control group (42.21±9.87/46.04±9.20,t=3.184 P=0.002). On the impact of different sex, the psychoticism score of male was significantly higher than that in the control group(52.37±11.49/48.04±9.97,t=-2.227 P=0.028), and the lie score was significantly lower than that in control group(41.03±9.18/46.18±8.79,t=3.125 P=0.002).The scores of those in the female were not significant.Conclusions There is a close association between the unstable emotion and child abuse in children, so training emotional self-control and emotional expression of children might be a intervention strategy in the future. In addition, the frequency of lie in children is probably one of factors that determine whether children are abused or not.

Thirty eight adult male rabbits were selected for the experiment. The experimental peptic ulcer was induced by means of injection of 40% acetic acid to the submucosa of the stomach. Animals of the control group were injected with normal saline instead and another control group consisted of normal rabbits without any treatment. The animals were killed by decapitation at different time intervals (3~49 days) after the operation. The adrenal tissues were prepared for histochemical studies from both experimental and control animals. The results were observed as follows:During the early stage of the peptic ulcer, the fascicular and reticular zones were the chief sites in the adrenal cortex where histochemical changes were involved. Three days after the peptic ulcer operation, the cells of the fascicular and reticular zones filled with sudanophilic lipid droplets and cholesterol droplets. Five days after the operation, both of lipid droplets and cholesterol droplets decreased; the content of ascorbic acid increased slightly; and the activity of succinic dehydrogenase also increased. The above changes were most conspicuous in the inner portion of the fascicular zone within ten days. After fourteen days, all the above histochemical changes began to recover and gradually returned to the normal level after eighteen to thirty five days. In the normal saline operation control group, the contents of lipid droplets and cholesterol droplets decreased in the fascicular and reticular zones after three days and returned to normal level during the period of ten to fourteen days after operation for saline injection.The above histochemical changes showed that the adrenal cortex was at an active functional state during the early period of the experimental peptic ulcer.

This study was aimed to establish an HPLC method for the determination of liquiritin, isoliquiritin, liquiritigenin and glycyrrhizic acid in roots and knotty rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. The analysis was performed on a Diamonsil C18 column (250 mm í 4.6 mm, 5 μm) by using a gradient elution with mobile phase of water, phosphoric acid, acetonitrile at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The detection wavelength was 276 nm (0~18 min), 360 nm (18~24 min), 276 nm(24~30 min), and 250 nm (30~65 min). The column temperature was set at 30℃. The results showed that the linear range of iquiritin, isoliquiritin, liquiritigenin, glycyrrhizic acid was 0 . 108 5~1 . 085、0 . 016 8~0 . 168、0 . 0049 4~0 . 049 4、0 . 407~4 . 07μg , respectively . The average recoveries of four constituents were 96.61%~100.89%, with RSD ≤ 0.81%. The contents of four constituents in roots of five batches were 0.513%, 0.072 9%, 0.048 4%, and 1.945%, respectively. Contents of four constituents in knotty rhizome from two batches were 0.456%, 0.063 6%, 0.036 2%, and 1.630%, respectively. It was concluded that there was good linear relationship between the response and concentration. Contents of four constituents in knotty rhizome were basically the same as those in the roots. The knotty rhizome can be used as raw material for the extraction of active components.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of adrenal rest tumor.Methods Twelve patients of adrenal rest tumor proved by surgery or clinical diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed.Among these 12 patients,12 were examined with ultrasound,11 with MR and 1 with CT. MR and CT were performed without and with intravenous injection of contrast material.The imaging features of adrenal rest tumor were retrospectively summarized and the relevant literatures reviewed. Results The adrenal rest tumors were found in testis in 10 of the 12 patients,and in ovaries and broad ligament in the remaining two.The imaging features of the testicular adrenal rest tumor were summarized as following:all patients had bilateral testicular masses without change of the testicular contour. On ultrasonography,the lesions were hypoechoic, with some hyperechoic areas and appeared highly vascularized on Colour Doppler ultrasonography.The masses showed iso-density on plain CT,and avid enhancement on post-contrast CT images.The masses ranging in size from0.7 cm×1.0 cm×2.2 cm to 2.3 cm ×2.7 cm ×2.9 cm with uniform signal intensity,lobulated margin on MRI.They exhibited iso- or slight hyperintensity on T1 WI and hypointensity on T2WI relative to normal testicular parenchyma.The tumors showed intense enhancement on post-contrast MR images. No abnormality was detected with Colour Doppler uhrasonography and MR in 2 patients of adrenal rest tumor in ovaries and broad ligament. Conclusion Combining imaging features with the typical clinical history,the diagnosis of adrenal rest tumor could be suggested pre-operatively.
