Objective:To explore the relationship between friendship quality and loneliness and its influent factors like the measuring tool of friendship quality,the participants groups and cultural background. Methods:The studies on the association between the friendship quality and loneliness were collected through the databases of Chi-na National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wan Fang,Wiley Online library,Web of Science,Google Scholar and Duxiu from 1984 to 2014. Meta-analysis was conducted with the use of the CMA2. 0. Estimated value (r)and their 95%confidence interval (95%CI)was calculated to analyze the association between the friendship quality and loneliness from normal subjects except physiological disease (such as autism,etc. ). Results:Totally 46 literatures were met the requirements of meta-analysis with sample size of 19422,including 24 researches With 11846 participants who were from eastern countries,and 22 studies with 7676 western people. There was significant negative correlation of friendship quality and loneliness (r=-0. 28,95%CI:-0. 23--0. 32). The friendship quality measuring tool was able to adjust the relations of friendship quality and loneliness (Q=11. 95,P<0. 01). The participants groups had a regulatory role on the relationship between the friendship quality and loneliness (Q=19. 54,P<0. 001). Under dif-ferent cultural background of the subjects,the relationship between their friendship quality and loneliness was notsignificant difference (Q=0. 05 ,P>0. 05 ). Conclusion:It suggests that friendship quality has an influence on lone-liness. Measuring tools and subjects groups effect the relationship friendship quality and loneliness except cultural background.

Objective To explore serum Cystain C (Cys C) level in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and its relation?ship with cardiac function and ventricular remodeling. Methods Patients with heart failure (n=75) and healthy adult (n=35) were enrolled in this study. According to the NYHA classification,CHF patients is divided into NYHA Ⅱ, NYHAⅢand NYHAⅣ;CHF patients can also be divided into 2 groups base on their level of serum Cys C:Cys C>0.95 mg/L is defined as elevated serum Cys C group, serum Cys C≤0.95 mg/L is defined as normal serum Cys C group;According to left ventricu?lar ejection fraction (LVEF), CHF patients can also be divided into 2 groups:LVEF≥0.50 is defined as ejection fraction re?served group, LVEF<0.50 is defined as the ejection fraction reduced group. Cys C, N terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), serum creatinine(Scr),UREA and Echocardiography were analyzed in all groups and their correlation was studied. Results Serum Cys C level in CHF patients was obviously higher than that in healthy controls, and it increased with NYHA heart function classification;compared with normal Cys C group,Cys C elevated group presented higher NT-proBNP level but lower eGFR and LVEF (P<0.05);compared with ejection fraction reduced group, ejection fraction reserved group demonstrated lower NT-proBNP, LVEDD, LVMI and Cys C levels (all P<0.05);Correlation analysis revealed that Cys C is correlated with age, NT-proBNP, LVEF, LVEDD, Scr and UREA (r=0.411, 0.658, 0.465, 0.310, 0.552, 0.486, P<0.01). Conclusion Serum Cys C can be used to evaluate cardiac function of heart failure, and is associated with ventricular remodeling.
