Objective To explore the correlation of personality traits of dependence,self-criticism and childhood abuse in patients with major depression.Methods As a case-control study,80 patients with major depression and 80 normal controls took apart in this study.They were separately evaluated by Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),depressive experiences questionnaire (DEQ) and child abuse questionnaire (CTQ).Results Each factor scores of dependency (90.77 ± 14.54) and self-criticism (68.00 ± 15.02) in patients with major depression were significantly higher than that in normal control group (77.96 ± 11.81,50.02 ± 10.38,P＜0.05).Dependence was significantly positive correlated with physical abuse,emotional neglect and physical neglect (P ＜0.05); and self-criticism were significantly positive correlated with emotional abuse,physical abuse,emotional neglect and physical neglect (P＜ 0.05).Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that dependence,selfcriticism could directly predict depressive symptoms respectively (β =0.283,P ＜ 0.05),(β =0.284,P ＜ 0.05),and emotional abuse could affect depressive symptoms by intermediation of dependency and self-criticism.Conclusion Emotional abuse can impact on depressive symptoms indirectly by dependent and self-criticism personality traits which suggest personality traits of dependency and self-criticism probably play an intermediate effect role between childhood abuse and major depression.

In recent years,the incidence rate and mortality rate of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in elderly patients have been increasing.The therapy scheme consists of surgery,radiotherapy,chemotherapy and target therapy,with the purpose of prolonging survival time and improving life quality.But there is no unified standards of treatment in elderly non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of bilirubin in the hippocampus of the newborn rats with hyperbilirubinemia. Methods Hyperbilirubinemia model was established. The expression levels of Fas protein and N methyl D aspartate (NMDA) receptor and the apoptosis rate of nerve cells in rat hippocampus were detected with immunochemistry, TUNEL method and cytometry. Results Histological changes of nerve cells were found in hippocampal area of rats with hyperbilirubinemia. Significantly increased expression levels of Fas protein and NMDA receptor and apoptosis rate of nerve cells were positively correlated with the bilirubin level in rat brain tissues. Conclusion The bilirubin neurotoxicity is mediated by the excessive activation of NMDA receptor and participation of Fas system, which induces the apoptosis of nerve cells.

Objective To study the effect of endouterine and extra-aterine exposure to lead on iron concentrations in the blood and hippocampus,hemogiobin level and the learning memory in young rats and the protective effect of zinc in this event.Methods Sixteen pregnant Wistar rats were randomized into 4 groups,group A fed with diet containing Zn 17.5 mg/kg and normal water,group B with Zn 17.5 mg/kg and water with PbAC? 3H2O 500 mg/L,group C with Zn 168.7 mg/kg and PbAC? 3H2O 500 mg/L,and group D with Zn

BACKGROUND: Denddtic cells (DCs) constitute the dominant population of antigen presenting cells (APCs) by possessing potent ability to initiate T cell immunity. The ultrastructure study of DCs is less reported. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the ultrastructure of DCs from mice bone marrow at different maturation stages, and the morphology of DCs between CD40 ligation and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) stimulation in vitro. METHODS: Mice myeloid DCs were generated from bone marrow in vitro using granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)and interleukin-4 (IL-4). Immature DCs were loaded with apoptotic tumor cells (AP-DC), and AP-DC was then stimulated with CD40L-CHO cells and TNF-α for 48 hours, respectively. DCs were routinely sectioned, and ultrastructure was observed under transmission electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Immature DCs showed a few short and blunt cytoplasmic processes, there were specific morphology lysosomes that liked earphone in some cells; DCs engulfing the apoptotic bodies were observed; sub-cellular structures between CD40 ligation and TNF-α stimulated DCs were different, the former had typical morphology of mature DCs which exhibited many dendritic protrusions, however, some DCs displayed apoptosis and autophagy after TNF-α stimulation. In a conclusion, CD40 ligation plays an essential role in myeloid DCs differentiation and maturation, TNF-α can mediate apoptosis and autophaqy of DCs.

Objective To compare the effect of 4 different cold and hot properties of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on body temperature and related factors of yeast induced fever rats,and discuss the thermoregulatory mechanism of cold and hot properties of TCM.Methods 108 male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group,a yeast-induced group,a R.palmatum treated group,a C.chinensis treated group,a Euodia ruticarpa treated group,and a Alpinia officinarum Hance treated group,with 18 rats in each group.Pyrexia model was induced by injecting yeast suspension subcutaneously on rat.At the 4h,8h and 12h after injection of yeast,the rats were sacrificed,and the blood and hypothalamus were collected.The levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2),cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) in hypothalamus and plasma were detected by ELISA assay.Results At the 4h after injection of yeast,the temperature of rats in the model group began to rise,and it reached the peak at 8h,while RheumpalmatumL and Coptis chinensis could significantly reduce the body temperature of yeast-induced rat (P＜ 0.01 or P＜ 0.05).At 8h,the levels of PGE2 and cAMP in hypothalamus increased significantly [respectively (31.55 ± 9.88) pg/mg and (0.17±0.03) pmol/mg] compared with the normal group,while the level of AVP (0.14±0.02) pmol/ml in plasma reduced (P＜0.05).Compared with model group,at 8h RheumpalmatumL and Coptis chinensis could significantly lowered PGE2 [respectively (113.65± 18.60) pg/mg and (127.72 ± 15.75) pg/mg,P＜ 0.01 or P＜0.05],and cAMP [respectively (0.69±0.08) pmol/mg and (0.74±0.10) pmol/mg,P＜0.05] in hypothalamus,and increased AVP levels [respectively (1.08 ± 0.12) pmol/ml and (0.91 ±0.01) pmol/ml,P＜0.05 or P＜0.01] in plasma.Euodia ruticarpa and Alpinia officinarum had no significant effect on both body temperature and the levels of inflammatory factors.Conclusion The two cold property traditional Chinese medicines,R.palmatum and C.chinensis,could significantly reduced the body temperature of yeast-induced rats,which may be related to its effective regulation on levels of PGE2 and cAMP in hypothalamus and AVP in plasma,however,the two hot property traditional Chinese medicine,Euodia ruticarpa and Alpinia officinarum Hance,had no related effects.

Objective To evaluate the value of magnetic resonance black-blood thrombus imaging (BTI) of the stage of disease in intracranial venous and sinus thrombosis(CVT).Methods From June 2015 to October 2016,37 patients with CVT diagnosed with routine imaging examinations in Beijing Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University were enrolled prospectively,and they also underwent BTI examination.The patients were randomly divided into either a acute group (≤14 d,n=23) or a chronic group (>15 d,n=14) according to the time from the onset of symptoms to BTI.Signal to noise ratio(SNR) and contrast to noise ratio(CNR) difference between acute and chronic CVT groups were compared.The magnetic resonance venography (MRV) examination was used as a reference to calculate the accuracy of BTI on per-segment level.Results (1) The SNR and CNR of thrombosis in the acute group and chronic group were 206±97 and 94±41,201±96 and 86±40,respectively.There was significant difference between two groups (t=4.9 and 5.0 respectively;all P<0.01).(2) In 37 patients with CVT,the thrombi in 159 cerebral veins and venous sinus segments were detected with MRV.BTI identified the thrombi accurately in 152 vascular segments,and the thrombi in 352 vascular segments were eliminated.The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 95.6% (152/159) and 98.0% (352/359) respectively.Conclusion Achieving direct angiography of cerebral venous thrombosis,BTI technique can accurately differentiate acute or chronic thrombus.It has higher accuracy.
