Objective To investigate alexithymia and perceived stress in nursing staff.Methods Nurses who were 18 to 45 years old were selected with clustered sampling method and finished the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS).Results TAS total sore ranged from 25 to 84.The incidence of critical state group and alexithymia group was respectively 38.5％ and 26.0％.There was no significant difference of alexithymia in nursing staff with different ages,education background and marital status.The total score of TAS-20 was significantly higher in general nurses than in nursing cadres,and the score of alexithymia factor was significantly higher in senior nurses than in junior nurses and in-charge nurses.The perceived stress was rising in non-alexithymia group,the critical state group and alexithymia group and the scores had significant difference.Conclusions There is a high incidence of alexithymia in nursing staff and more stress is perceived in nursing staff with alxithymia.More attention should be paid to and more psychological intervention should be given to younger nurses.

Objective To investigate the recheck rule by investigating the coincidence rate of the results detected by the LabU‐Mat urine dry chemistry analyzer and the Urised tangible composition analyzer with the results detected by the microscope examina‐tion .Methods 1 040 urine specimens from children outpatients and children inpatients were collected .Firstly ,the specimens were analyzed by the LabUMat urine dry chemistry analyzer and the Urised tangible composition analyzer ,and then detected by using the microscopic examination for investigating the recheck rule of the routine analysis by the urine automatic analyzer ;the regulation was evaluated by the missed detection rate ,and then the recheck rule avoiding the missed diagnosis of abnormal renal function was also evaluated .Finally ,clinically verify the rules adopting 200 specimens to perform the clinical verification on this recheck rule .Results Among the specimens used for researching the recheck rule ,the specimens of positive microscope examination results accounted for 58 .65% ,the specimens of negative results accounted for 41 .35% .In the positive detection specimens ,the specimens of RBC positive were the majority ,accounting for 50% ,the specimens of WBC positive accounted for 23 .08% and the specimens of CAST positive accounted for 7 .69% .The coincidence rate of the set rule was 87 .5% and the missed detection rate was 2 .9% .In conduc‐ting the verification on the recheck rule by 200 urine specimens ,the coincidence rate was 89 .52% and the missed detection rate was 2 .4% .Conclusion When the detection results of occult blood(BLD) ,WBC(LEU) and protein(PRO) by the dry chemistry analyzer and the detection results of RBC ,WBC ,CAST by the tangible composition analyzer are inconsistent or the differences among them are beyond 2 grades of differential ,the recheck by the microscopic examination should be performed .

Objective To study the influence of different placing time of child peripheral blood on blood routine parameters in order to increase the working efficiency of clinical blood routine test.Methods Each 300 μL of peripheral blood was collected from the right hand ring finger in 50 healthy children in our hospital from January 2015 to January 2016.The blood routine was performed by using the whole blood cells analyzer at instantly after blood collection,at 0,5,10,15,30 min after blood collection under the room temperature (20 to 25 ℃).Results With the measured results at 15 min as the control,the detection results at the other times points had no statistical difference (P>0.05).Compared with the detection results at 5 min,the white blood cell count(WBC) and platelet volume distribution width (PDW),lymphocyte absolute value (LYM),neutrophil percentage absolute value (NEU),platelet count (PLT),red blood cell volume distribution width (RDW),hemotocrit (HCT) and plateletcrit(PCT) were statistically different (P<0.05).Conclusion Reasonably arranging time,eliminating pre-analysis error and reducing the influence of peripheral blood placing time on blood routine parameters have an important significance to accurately judge the clinical dat.It is recommended that the blood routine detection time should be controlled within 10-30 min in order to increase the working efficiency of clinical detections.

Objective:To explore the grey matter concentration in individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression.Methods:Thirty individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression and thirty age-and gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study,and they were subjected to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination.The grey matter concentration differences were compared between the two groups by using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) following MRI.Results:Individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression showed significantly lower grey matter density in bilateral insular,left cerebellum,right supplementary motor area,and left precentral gyrus than those in the healthy controls,while the healthy controls showed significantly lower grey density in the right inferior frontal gyrus,right middle frontal gyrus,and left cuneus than those in the individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression.Conclusion:Structural brain abnormalities in individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression might be the neural basis for cognitive vulnerability to depression.

Objective To explore the regulative or mediating effect of perceived social support on the relationship between alexithymia and negative psychology of nurses.Methods A total of 503 nurses were surveyed by Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 ( TAS-20),Perceived Social Support Scale ( PSSS ) and Genera Health Questionnaire-20 (GHQ-20).Results The scores of alexithymia,perceived social support and negative psychology of nurses were(54.82 ± 8.43 ),( 61.9 ± 9.78 ) and ( 3.70 ± 2.61 ),respectively.Alexithymia was significant positive correlated with negative psychology ( r =0.49,P ＜ 0.01 ),perceived social support was significant negative correlated with negative psychology ( r =-0.32,P＜ 0.01 ),alexithymia was significant negative correlated with perceived social support( r=-0.36,P＜0.01 ).In the test of Perceived social support's regulative effect between alexithymia and negative psychology,R12 was 0.259 and R22 was 0.257,R22 did not significantly improve,and in the second layer,t=-0.538,P＞ 0.05.The model fit indexes of perceived social support's partial mediating effect on the relationship between alexithymia and negative psychology were x2/df =1.645,RMSEA =0.036,CFI =0.995,IFI =0.995,RFI =0.960,TLI =0.984,NFI =0.987,GFI =0.993,AGFI =0.973.The model was proved well.Conclusion Perceived social support partially mediates the relationship between alexithymia and negative psychology,instand of regulating it.

Objective Based the previous studies, the present study was performed to investigate the antagonistic effects of different doses of Astragaloside IV on the immune function of Treg mediated by HMGB1 in vitro and its potential mechanism.Methods CD4+CD25-T cells isolated from the spleens of male BABL/c mice by magnetic beads were seeded on 48-well cell culture plates and were randomly divided into four groups as follows(12 holes per group). Normal control group: CD4+CD25-T cells were cultured merely. Treg group: Tregs(100μl) and CD4+CD25-T cells were co-cultured in ratio of 1:10. HMGB1+Treg group: Tregs(100μl) stimulated by HMGB1(1μg/ml) for 72 h and CD4+CD25-T cells were co-cultured in ratio of 1∶10. HMGB1+AST IV+Treg group: Tregs(100μl) stimulated by HMGB1(1μg/ml) and AST IV(100μg/ml)for 72 h were co-cultured with CD4+CD25-T cells in ratio of 1:10. CD4+CD25-T cells and supernatants were again collected on post-culture 72 hour. The proliferation of CD4+CD25- T cells was analyzed by MTT test, the activity of NFAT and the contents of cytokines of IL-2 released into supernatants were also determined by means of ELISA. Results When CD4+CD25-T cells were co-cultured with Tregs, the cell proliferation(0.166±0.039) and the levels of NFAT(0.156±0.035) and IL-2(2.38±0.58) in supernatant were markedly decreased as compared with those in the control group(P<0.01). However, the contrary results were found when CD4+CD25-T cells were co-cultured with Treg stimulated by HMGB1. Compared with those in the(HMGB1+Treg) group, the contrary results were showed with a dose-dependent in the(HMGB1+ASTⅣ+Treg) group.Conclusion ASTⅣcan rivalry the effects of HMGB1 on immune function of Treg in vitro, this result indicate that ASTⅣhas the therapeutic action on inflammation promoted by HMGB1.

Objective To examine the effects of a functional polymorphism of the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene on spontaneous brain activity in healthy male adolescents.Methods Resting-state fMRI was performed on 31 healthy male adolescents with the low-activity MAOA genotype (MAOA-L) and 25 healthy male adolescents with the high-activity MAOA genotype (MAOA-H).The amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) of the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal was calculated using REST software,and was compared between two genotype groups.The region ROIs showed significant difference.The ALFF data in ROIs were related to BIS scores.Results Compared with the MAOA-H group,the MAOA-L group showed a significant decrease of ALFF (P＜0.001) in the pons (MNI coordinates:-6,-19,-23;6,-16,-17;-6,-25,-32).In addition,the BIS scores were positively correlated with ALFF in pons in the MAOA-L group (r=0.398,P=0.02),but not in the MAOA-H group.Conclusions There exists relevance between the polymorphism of MAOA and the spontaneous brain activity in pons.And the lower activity of spontaneous brain activity in pons may be a key risk factor for impulsivity and aggression.

Objective To investigate the antagonistic effect of different doses of astragaloside Ⅳ (AST Ⅳ) on immune function of regulatory T (Treg) cells mediated by high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) in rats and the mechanism by which AST Ⅳ exerts its influence.Methods CD4 + CD25 +Treg cells isolated from the spleens of clean-grade BALB/c mice were seeded on 72-well culture plate.Cells were divided into four groups (18 wells per group) according to the random number table,i.e.normal control group (cells were cultured merely),HMGB1 (1 μg/ml) group,HMGB1 (1 μg/ml) + AST Ⅳ (50 μg/ml) group,and HMGB1 (1 μg/ml)+AST Ⅳ (100 μg/ml) group.Each group consisted of three subgroups (6 wells per group),from which the Treg cells were collected at post-stimulation hours 24,48 and 72 respectively.Foxp3 intracellular protein and mRAN expressions were detected by flow cytometry and quantitative fluorescent PCR.Contents of IL-10 and TGF-β released into the supernatants were determined by ELISA method.Results As compared with the control group,Foxp3 intracellular protein and mRAN expressions in the Treg cells were decreased at 24 hours to 72 hours after HMGB1 stimulation (P ＜ 0.01),with particular reduction at 72 hours.Additionally,changes of IL-10 and TGF-βin the supernatants presented the same trends with Foxp3.Foxp3 protein and mRAN expressions in AST Ⅳ group were markedly higher than that in HMGB1 group at 24-72 hours (P ＜ 0.05) and the expressions in AST Ⅳ(100 μg/ml) group were much more significant than that in AST Ⅳ (50 μg/ml) group (P ＜ 0.05).While contents of IL-10 and TGF-β in supernatants revealed the same trend with Fox3 as well.Conclusions AST Ⅳ antagonizes the impact of HMGB1 on the activity of the Treg cells in a dose-dependent manner in vitro.It is suggested that AST Ⅳ has a strong inhibitory effect on HMGB1-mediated inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the infection and epidemiological characteristics of group A rotavirus (RV-A)and adenovirus in children with diarrhea in Guangzhou. Methods The colloidal gold technique was used to detect RV.A and adenovirus antigen in 2,171 stool samples from children with diarrhea in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from January to December 2015,and the data were statistically analyzed. Results Among the 2,171 patients,the positive rate of RV-A infection was 17.96%and that of adenovirus infection 8.66%, and the co-infection rate of both virus was 3.45%. The positive rates between different genders were not significantly different(P > 0.05);the infectious time peak of RV-A was January(40.78%),followed by December(39.24%) and February(32.61%)and that of adenovirus infection was July(15.89%)and May(15.79%). The infectious peak of RV-A and adenovirus was December(7.29%),followed by January(7.01%). The peak age of infection ranged from 1y to 3y. Conclusion RV-A and adenovirus are the main pathogens of children diarrhea ,and the onset of virus infection has obvious seasonal change.

Objective:To investigate the multilocus sequence typing feature of the virulence-associated genes of Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) separated from the clinical specimens of a multi-center cohort children in Guangzhou area. Methods:A total number of 412 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from 2 059 non-repeated fecal specimens of children by three groups′ researchers in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from August 2018 to November 2018. While collecting specimens, patient clinical information is also properly collected and preserved. After extracting the DNA of the strain, the virulence-associated genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including the staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) genes ( sea, seb, sec, sed, see) and the Panton-Valentine leucocidin-encoding gene ( pvl).The multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) method was performed to reveal the MLST feature of these genes and the statistical difference were examined by the the χ 2 test. Results:Among the 412 isolates of S. aureus, 256 strains (256/412, 62.1%) contains at least one SE gene. Among the enterotoxin gens, the sec (125/412, 30.3%), seb(98/412, 23.8%)and sea (66/412, 16.0%)genes were the three most prevalent members of SEs. The frequency of pvl gene in Staphylococcus aureus was 18.7%(77/412).Among them, the frequency of Staphylococcus aureus sea gene isolated from patients with gastroenteritis (58/319, 18.2%) was significantly higher than that from the non-gastroenteritis group (8/93, 8.6%)(χ2=4.912, P=0.027). The frequency of Staphylococcus aureus pvl gene isolated from the patients with pneumonia (8/21, 38.1%) was greater than that from the non-pneumonia group (6/47, 12.8%)(χ2=4.252, P=0.039). In addition, the virulence-associated gene of S. aureus was closely related to the specific ST type, 82.4% (28/34) of ST6 carried sea gene, all ST338 and ST59 carried seb gene, 96% (48/50) ST45 carried sec gene, and the pvl gene carrying rate of ST338 was 5/5. Conclusions:The SEA toxin produced by ST6 Staphylococcus aureus may be closely related to the diagnosis of gastroenteritis in children. The frequency of pvl virulence gene in Staphylococcus aureus in children with community-acquired pneumonia was higher than that in the non-pneumonia group, and closely related to the CC59.
