Objective To understand the status quo of stressors and mental health of undergradu-ates of local medical colleges in internship and provide relevant countermeasures so as to provide scientific reference for psychological health counseling for them. Methods The stress source scale and mental health symptom self-rating scale for medical students in internship (SCL-90) coded by Chang Lirong et al was adopted to investigate. The questionnaire survey was conducted on the stress and mental health status of 390 interns in Binzhou Medical College, and 384 valid questionnaires were collected, with the effective rate of recovery as 98.46%. The questionnaire results were analyzed by sample t test, variance analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. Results A total of 24.1% of students in local medical schools were under moderate pressure (1.17±0.63). The highest pressure source was examination and employment (1.58±0.74), and the other followed were knowledge and skills (1.43 ±0.68), interpersonal relationships (1.11 ±0.54), patients (1.06±0.53), medical conditions (1.00±0.53) and work load (0.95±0.52) respectively. The scores of various stressors were significantly and positively correlated with most of the mental health factors. Conclusion The undergraduates of local medical colleges and universities are generally under stress in internship, which would affect their mental health. It is suggested that the interns should be guided from the aspects of employment, study and psychology so as to help them relieve their stress and develop good psychological qualities.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the clinical value and application range of defecography, CT and MRI in diagnosis of puborectalis syndrome (PRS).
METHODSThe clinical data of 83 PRS patients, including defecography, CT and MRI scanning in pelvic floor resting and defecation at maximum exertion, measurement of anorectal angle (ARA), length and depth of ARA impression and the thickness of the puborectalis muscle, were collected, and compared with those of 56 normal persons.
RESULTSFor normal persons, ARA at maximum exertion was more significantly increased than that at resting. In 62 cases with PRS, ARA at maximum exertion was more obviously reduced than that at resting and associated with puborectalis muscle (PRM) impression. In the other 21 cases, ARA showed no changes at either maximum exertion or resting, a little or no excretion of barium appeared and "shelving syndrome" was showed. The cross-sectional images of CT and MRI showed that the puborectalis of PRS patients were thicker than that of normal persons (P<0.01). PRS patients also showed clear pelvic floor muscle, fasciae and peripheral crevice.
CONCLUSIONSDefecography, manifested the abnormal function of the puborectalis muscles, is a reliable method for diagnosis of PRS. In the meantime, CT and MRI are able to clearly display the position, growth status and size of the puborectalis muscles as well as its relation with adjacent structures, which provide further understandings on anatomical changes, abnormal adjacent structure and other functional diseases of pelvic floor in PRS patients. Therefore, an appropriate combination of the 3 methods play an important role in the early diagnosis of PRS and guidance for surgical treatment.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Kanglaite injection(KLT) on the proliferation and telomerase activity of mesangial cells in rats.
METHODMTT, telomere repeat amplification protocal (TRAP), ELISA, PAGE and silver-stain were applied to detect the growth rate and telomerase activity of MC after stimulation of KLT and IL-1.
RESULTThe growth rate of MC was enhanced by IL-1 stimulation, which was accompanied with a redection of the activity of telomerase. Adversely, the growth rate of MC was reduced by KLT, which was accompanied with an enhancement of activity of telomerase. Moreover, the growth rate of MC and the activity of telomerase were both inhibited by the combinative use of IL-1 and KLT without any influence from the sequence of their administration.
CONCLUSIONKLT could inhibit proliferation and telomerase activity of MC with or without pre-stimulation with IL-1. KLT might be useful to prevent and treat glomerular nephritis related to MC proliferation.
