Objective To explore the effect of weightlessness simulation on processing speed of mental rotation of males in 72 h head-down tilt,in order to further reveal human performance changes caused by weightlessness.Methods During 72 h weightlessness simulation (9 am day 1 to 9 pm day 4,head-down tilt started from 9 pm day 1),16 male subjects were processed speed of rotation data byhand picture mental rotation (test 8 times),using self cross-references design,and the variation of processing speed of mental rotation by duration was analyzed.Results The linear regression analysis showed,the reaction time of each time point for each subject as the independent variable,the angle of rotation as the dependent variable,with the extension of simulated weightlessness time.The intercept(constant term of the regression equation),indicating the processing speed of non-rotation,were gradually increased with HDT time,but didn(t) reached significantly difference (F(3,14) =0.551,P =0.650) ;the slope(Regression coefficient of the regression equation),indicating the processing speed of rotation.were gradually increased with HDT time,and reached the significantly difference (F(3,14) =4.338,P =0.009).The value of intercept and slope was like upside-down U in three days,and reached the highest value at day 2.Conclusion Weightlessness simulation have affection on the speed of mental rotation,especially on the rotation speed.

Objective: To compare the reliability of Internet Addiction Impairment Index (IAII), Revised Chen Internet Addiction Scale(CIAS-R)-Taiwan Revision, CIAS-R-Mainland Revision, Young Diagnostic Questionnaire (YDQ) and the consistency of Internet addiction using the four scales in college students. Methods: A total of 1 004 undergraduates from 3 universities in Hefei were selected to measure the tendency of internet addiction simultaneously using the four scales, and 122 students were re tested two weeks after the initial assessment. Correlation coefficient, coincidence rate and Kappa value were used to analyze the consistency of the four scales. Analysis of variance, t test and Logistic regression were used to determine the consistency of the factors related to internet addiction scale. Results: The reliability of the four Internet addiction scales were greater than 0.7( P <0.01). The correlation coefficient among all scales was greater than 0.5( P <0.01). The agreement between YDQ and CIAS-R-Mainland Revision was 0.87. The Kappa value of YDQ and CIAS-R-Taiwan Revision in the consistency analysis was 0.51( P <0.01), the Kappa value between the other scales was less than 0.5. Results showed that the four scales were consistent in Internet addiction prevalence by gender, grade and major, while CIAS-R-Taiwan Revision and YDQ were not consistent with the other two scales in sleep disorder. Conclusion The four Internet addiction scales all have good reliability, while low agreement in Internet addiction assessment, suggesting further improvement and revision in Internet addiction scales.

Objective: To explore the mediating role played by college students social anxiety and social support in the relationship between internet addiction and depression. Methods: A cluster random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 3 536 college students in three higher vocational colleges in Anhui Province. The content included general demographic characteristics, depression, Internet addiction, social support, and social anxiety. The Process program was used to mediate and analysis of regulation. Results: Among the survey subjects, 1 552(43.90%) had depressive symptoms, including 561(45.65%) boys and 991(42.96%) girls.The total score of Internet addiction was significantly positively correlated with depression score(r=0.30, P<0.01); social anxiety(social fear, social avoidance) was positively correlated with depression(r=0.24, 0.27, P<0.01); social support(subjective support, objective support, support utilization) was significantly negatively correlated with depression(r=0.25, -0.23, -0.17, P<0.01). Conditional process analysis shows that social anxiety had a mediating role between internet addiction and depression(c'=0.06, P<0.01), and that Internet addiction and social anxiety were regulated by social support(β=-0.00，P=0.02). Conclusion By increasing the social support of college students to improve social anxiety, it might help to reduce the depression of college students caused by Internet addiction.

Hydatid worms, hosted by humans and animals, impose serious human health risk and cause significant livestock production loss. To better understand the disease infection status in Xinjiang, China, we investigated the disease epidemics in 4 livestock animals, i.e., cattle, sheep (both sheep and goat), camels, and horses, slaughtered at the abattoirs in Urumqi, Yining, Tacheng, and Altay areas. The results showed that the animals were infected at different rates, in the order of sheep (9.8%), cattle (8.4%), camels (6.8%), and horses (4.3%). The infection rates were found to be different between the abattoirs in various regions even for the same animals. For sheep, the rates increased significantly as the animals grew older. It was 1.9% before 1 year of age and increased to 8.2% in the age of 1-2 years, and further increased to 12.3% when the animals were 3-4 years old, and reached 17.2% when they were 5-6 year old. Sheep older than 6 years had an infection rate of 19.5%. This study demonstrates that the 4 livestock animals in the pastoral areas in Xinjiang were infected by the parasites to various extend. This study is the first systematic investigation of the hydatid worms in various livestock animals in Xinjiang, China, which provides epidemiological information about the infection of hydatid worms in livestock, and is valuable in developing strategies for prevention and control of the hydatid disease.

Objective To investigate how suicide microblog users in China "act" and "speak" differently from other microblog users without suicide idea.Methods The suicide group consisted of 31 Chinese microblog users identified as suicide via online information provided by a Sina microblog user,and the control group consisted of 30 active microblog users without suicide idea screened by using suicide-related psychological scales.The differences in 10 microblog use behavioral characteristics and 88 linguistic characteristics between the suicide group and the control group were compared with normality test and rank sum test respectively.Results In the behavioral characteristics,the suicide group used hyperlinks and "@" less frequently than the control group [0.04 (0.04) vs.0.06 (0.04),P=0.029;0.60 (0.27) vs.0.69 (0.18),P=0.028],and was more self-focused [0.47 (0.25) vs.0.30 (0.10),P=0.010].In the linguistic characteristics,the suicide group showed less frequency in using measure word,work related word and apostrophe than the control group (P＜0.05),and showed more frequency in using pronoun,personal pronoun,third person singular,non-specific pronoun,word expressing social experience,word expressing anxiety,word expressing exclusion,sexual word,religious word,second person singular,human being related word,negative emotion related word,anger related word,sadness or death related word (P＜0.05).Conclusion Suicides seemed to interact less with others,showed more self-concern and more negative expressions,use more cognitively exclusive,death-related,religion-related words,and use less work-related words.The results of this study might be helpful for the research on suicide among netizen.
