Objective To explore the mediating role of coping modes between illness perception and posttraumatic growth among patients with breast cancer. Methods Totally 300 patients with breast cancer were investigated with the posttraumatic growth inventory, brief illness perception questionnaire and medical coping modes questionnaire. Results The total score of illness perception was 40. 77 ± 6. 85. The scores of confrontation coping style,avoidance coping style and resignation coping style were 19.42±3.51, 17.78±2.79,8.64±3.35. The total score of posttraumatic growth was 57.38±10.48. Illness perception was negatively correlated with posttraumatic growth ( r=-0.743) ,confrontation( r=-0.568) and avoidance ( r=-0.621),positively related with resignation( r=0.727).Posttraumatic growth was positively correlated with confrontation and avoidance ( r=0.729, r=0.657) ,but negatively correlated with resignation( r=-0.757) (P<0.01) . Coping modes had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between illness perception and postt?raumatic growth. The total mediation effect value was 0.428,and the mediation effect was 57.60%,while con?frontation and resignation mediation effect value were -0. 191 and -0. 207, and the mediation effect were 25.70% and 27. 86%. But there was no statistical significance in avoidance mediation ( effect value was-0.030 and the mediation effect was 4.04%) . Conclusion Confrontation and resignation coping modes play a role multiple mediation effects between illness perception and posttraumatic growth.

AIM To establish an Endothelin 1 induced focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion model. METHODS Endothelin 1(ET 1), a potent vasoconstrictor, was injected near the middle cerebral artery to induce reduction in cerebral blood flow and ischemic neuronal damage. The changes of cerebral blood flow in striatum were characterised using hydrogen clearance technique. The neurologic scores were performed and the infarct volume was identified by TTC staining at 6 h and 24 h after ET 1 application, respectively. RESULTS ET 1 induced a dose dependent reduction of cerebral blood flow in striatum and the CBF at 10 min after ET 1 injection were the lowerest. CBF at 10 min post injection was (27 1?2 9)% in group 300 pmol, (12 7?2 1) % in group 360 pmol, (11 9?1 8)% in group 400 pmol and (9 5?1 6)% in group 500 pmol , respectively. Neurologic score showed that ET 1 could induce variable grade neurologic deficit. The infarct volume were increased with the increment of ET 1 concentration and showed a close correlation, which were (3 9?0 3)% in group 300 pmol, (7 4?0 5)% in group 360 pmol, (11 3?1 3)% in group 400 pmol, and (16 2?1 8)% in group 500 pmol respectively, r =0 992 6 ( P

AIM To study the effect and mechanism of valdecoxib, a selective COX 2 inhibitor, on human gastric cancer BGC 823 cells. METHODS MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to observe the effect of valdecoxib on proliferation, apoptosis and the cell cycle distribution of BGC 823 cells. Laser confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscope and DNA fragmentation assay were further used to detect the apoptosis. The content of LDH was examined using LDH kit. RESULTS Valdecoxib in 25~400 ?mol?L -1 significantly inhibited the proliferation of BGC 823 cell in a time and dose dependent fashion, the inhibition rate of proliferation was 24 0%~92 0% after 72 h, and the rate of apoptosis was increased from (2 6?0 7)% to (7 6?1 5) %~(16 5?1 5)%. 100~400 ?mol?L -1 valdecoxib also decreased the proliferation index and the proportion of cells in the S phase, increased the proportion of cells in the G 0/G 1 phase, but had no effect on the proportion of cell in the G 2/M phase. CONCLUSION Valdecoxib inhibits human gastric cancer BGC 823 cells growth by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. The growth inhibitory effect of 400 ?mol?L -1 valdecoxib is also associated with cell necrosis.

prognosis of patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB). Methods A total of 130 patients with AUGIB in our hospital were enrolled in this study from August 2014 to August 2016 . Three kinds of scoring systems including Rockall, Blatchford and AIMS65 were used to evaluate the risk classification of the patients. Patients were followed up for 2 months. The incidence rates of re-bleeding and death within 2 months after admission were observed. Data of prognosis in patients with AUGIB were compared between the three scoring systems in the prognosis of patients with AUGIB, including the risk classification and the prediction accuracy of re-bleeding and death. Results There were no significant differences in the re-bleeding rate and fatality rate between the groups divided by Rockall and Blatchford scoring systems ( P>0.05). According to the grouping results of AIMS65 scoring system, the re-bleeding rate of low-risk group was lower than that in high risk group (1.45%vs. 13.11%, P=0.01), but there was no significant difference in fatality rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The values of area under the curve (AUC) of predicting re-bleeding rates by using Rockall, Blatchford and AIMS65 scoring systems were 0.6258, 0.6910, and 0.7241, and the values of AUC of predicting fatality rates were 0.7031, 0.7969, and 0.7031 by using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. There were no significant differences between them (P>0.05). The values of AUC of predicting re-bleeding rates by using the risk grading calculation by Rockall, Blatchford and AIMS65 scoring systems were 0.6189, 0.6139 and 0.7254 (P>0.05). But the values of AUC of predicting fatality rates were 0.6211, 0.6641 and 0.7695 (P<0.01). Conclusion The operation method of AIMS65 scoring system is simple and convenient, which is applicable to a wide range of patients with AUGIB. In the prediction of re-bleeding and mortality, AIMS65 scoring system has high accuracy and stability, which is worthy of promoting in clinical application.
