Objective:To preliminarily compile the words list of personality in southern China, and structurally analyse the words with natural personality traits.Methods:A semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain 603 valid questionnaires in six provinces in southern China, and the lexical collation, consolidation, deletion, lexicographic analysis and structural analysis were conducted.Results:(1)After three rounds of collation and merging of 8 022 natural words describing personality traits, a personality trait word list containing 136 words was obtained.(2)Econometric analysis of words according to positivity, neutrality and negativity, showed that all negative words involving moral evaluations (ruthless, vicious, evil, cunning, narrow-minded and so on) were used to describe others, while negative words describing oneself were mainly non-virtuous words (capricious, stubborn, impatient, impetuous, pessimistic and so on). (3) The proportion of desirability and virtue dimensions in the words list was highest(23.20%, 16.80%); and the proportion of desirability and extroversion in total words frequency was highest(24.39%, 19.96%).Conclusion:A personality word list containing 136 personality traits in southern China is compiled from primary sources; and a 7-factor personality structure was latent in the word list.Subjects are richer in describing the content of the vocabulary of agreeable, virtuous, pioneering, and persevering personality traits, while agreeable and extroverted personality traits are most easily perceived in interpersonal interactions.

A type of entomopathogenic fungus of soil in Citrus grandis 'tomentosa' production base was isolated and identified with morphological and molecular biological methods, including pathogenesis, spore characteristic and ITS sequence analysis were conducted. The results showed that eighteen entomopathogenic fungi strains were isolated from the Tenebrio molitor infected in the soil samples, which were identified as Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae. Based on results above, we concluded that there was quantity of Metarhizium resources in this area. These provided the useful information for controlling some pests of C. grandis by using these strains of fungus.

Objective:To analyze the trend of disease burden of rheumatoid arthritis in China from 1990 to 2019, and to provide scientific basis for formulating targeted prevention and treatment strategies of rheumatoid arthritis.Methods:Based on data of the global burden of disease study 2019 (GBD 2019), according to the number of people with the disease, the prevalence, incidence, disability adjusted life year (DALY) and DALY rate of RA were used to describe the disease burden of RA in China and the world from 1990 to 2019. Joinpoint model was used to analyze the average annual percentage change (AAPC) of age-standardized prevalence rate, age-standardized incidence rate and age-standardized DALY rate of RA in China and the world from 1990 to 2019. The trend of disease burden of RA was analyzed.Results:In general, the standardized prevalence of RA in China and the world showed an upward trend from 1990 to 2019, and the age-standardized prevalence of RA in China increased by 0.18% per year on average ( t=7.34 , P=0.025). The global average annual increase was 0.27%, with a statistically significant difference ( t=6.64, P=0.013). From 1990 to 2019, the standardized incidence rate in China showed an average annual increase of 0.08%( t=7.54, P=0.032), while the standardized incidence rate in the world showed an average annual decrease of 0.37% ( t= -5.64, P=0.001). In 2019, the number of patients and prevalence of RA in China were 4.309.4 million and 302.98/100 000, respectively. The number of new cases and incidence of RA were 22.25 million and 15.64/100 000, respectively. Compared with 1990, in 2019, the number of patients and prevalence rate increased by 114.17% and 78.23%, the number of new cases and incidence rate increased by 77.90% and 48.05%, and DALY rate increased by 109.05% and 73.97%, respectively. From 1990 to 2019, the prevalence rate, incidence rate and DALY rate of women were higher than those of men. Both the prevalence rate and DALY rate showed an increasing trend with age, with the highest in the age group of 75 years old and above. Conclusion:From 1990 to 2019, the standardized incidence rate of RA in China has more increase than that in the world, and the overall incidence and prevalence of RA in China are on the rise. The prevalence, incidence and DALY of RA varies among different populations in China. Women and middle-aged and elderly people are at high risk.

Objective:To explore the value of laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery with the patient lying on supine position under general anesthesia in the operation of type I Mirizzi syndrome with choledocholithiasis.Methods:From Jan 2018 to Jan 2020, 53 cases of Mirizzi syndrome with choledocholithiasis undergoing laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (preLC+ ERCP+ EST) at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Results:53 patients successfully underwent LC without conversion to open surgery, and 2 patients failed in ERCP + EST attempt, with a success rate of 96.2%. One patient developed pancreas pseudocyst as a result of post-operative hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis. Two patients suffered from chronic pancreatitis. Three patients complaining postoperative upper abdominal discomfort were finally diagnosed as stump cystic duct inflammation by MRCP, and no abnormalities were found in the follow-up of the remaining cases.Conclusion:Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery in the treatment of patients with type I Mirizzi syndrome combined with choledocholithiasis is minimally invasive and effective.

RESULTS:
The cell survival rates were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner when the cells were treated with different doses of ADM (0.001-10.000 mg/L ). The IC
CONCLUSIONS
Idelalisib exerts effect on inhibition of the proliferation in myeloid leukemia K562 and K562/ADM cells, which may partially reverse the drug resistance of K562/ADM cells to ADM. The mechanisms for the effect of idelalisib may be related to increasing the accumulation of ADM and inducing the cell apoptosis in the K562 and K562/ADM cells.

ObjectiveTo understand intensive care unit (ICU) doctors’ opinions and suggestions on implementing palliative care, and provides a reference basis for the implementation of palliative care in Chinese ICU. MethodsA purposive sampling technique was used to conduct one-on-one semi-structured interviews with 11 ICU doctors. Colaizzi’s phenomenological analysis method was utilized to code, classify, interpret, and comprehensively analyze the interview data. ResultsA total of 4 themes and 18 sub-themes was extracted, including cognitive biases toward palliative care, the belief that implementing palliative care in the ICU has significant humanistic implications (palliative care practice is the most perfect embodiment of medical humanities, palliative care in the ICU can alleviate patient pain and reduce invasive operations, palliative care can achieve comfortable care for ICU patients, palliative care focuses on maintaining the dignity of ICU patients, palliative care can pay attention to the inner voice of ICU patients, and implementing palliative care will help to more effectively allocate resources), difficulties faced by ICU in carrying out palliative care (lack of clarity in relevant policies at the legal level, closed management environment in the ICU, insufficient manpower in the ICU and lack of palliative care professional team, inadequate understanding of ICU patients’ families, lack of death education, not included in medical insurance payments, and lack of communication skills of young doctors), strategies to promote the development of palliative care in the ICU (ICU palliative care can be piloted first, the development of ICU palliative care screening tools will help with the development of palliative care, the palliative environment and the handling of death procedures can be further optimized, and the application and implementation of scientific methods to shorten the gap between evidence and practice of palliative care). ConclusionsThe integration of palliative care and ICU in China is still blank. The significance of implementing palliative care in ICU should be emphasized, ICU doctors’ knowledge and skills of palliative care should be improved from multiple perspectives, patient preference should be emphasized to improve the knowledge and acceptance of palliative care of ICU patients’ families, and the promotion of palliative care in ICU clinical practice should be pioneered and piloted.
