ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship among social support,coping style and mental health on university librarians.Methods421 librarians were assessed with the symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90),social support rating scale (SSRS) and simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ) in 2005. ResultsSome factor of SCL-90 negatively correlated with utility percentage of social support(P<0.05), and positively correlated with passive coping style(P<0.05). Except utility percentage,the other three factors of social support showed significant difference among different academic titles (P<0.05), and it was significant different (P<0.05) on passive coping factor among them. The score of social support improved with ages except for utility percentage (P<0.05).On positive coping factor but not negative, there were significant difference among different age groups(P<0.05). ConclusionThe social support and coping style obviously correlate with the mental health of university librarians.

Membrane fusion is essential for all life activities of eukaryotes and the fusion process requires the interaction of different vesicular transporters,which are highly conserved in eukaryotes,to coordinate specifically and facilitate the fusion of different biofilms. Vesicle associated membrane protein 8(VAMP8)mainly locates in vesicular as well as lysosomal membranes,and plays a vital role in the fusion of many different biofilms. This paper focused on the molecular structure,transcriptional regulation,post-translational modification and biological function of VAMP8 as well as the research progress on its correlation with human diseases,so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of related diseases and the development of effective therapeutics targeting VAMP8.

Objective: Hitherto there has been no report on the changes of microvessels and the expression of angiogenic factors after photodynamic therapy(PDT) of liver carcinoma.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of PDT on the microvessels and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factors(VEGF) in tumor cells. Methods: The mice models subcutaneously transplanted with Heps liver carcinoma were randomly divided into a PDT group(n= 28) and a control group(n= 28).The dynamic changes of the microvessels and VEGF expression in the tumor cells were observed at 2,6,24 and 72 h after PDT by H-E and immunohistochemical staining.Results: Progressive changes were seen in the tumor microvessels at the four time points after PDT,including dilatation,blood stasis,hypostasis,hemorrhage,and angiolysis.Compared with the control group,the microvessel density of the tumors was reduced significantly(P

BACKGROUND:Stent implantation is a common treatment for various cardiovascular diseases. Biodegradable AZ31 magnesium al oy stent is a new kind of biodegradable stent, but its degradation time and effect are stil rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the degradation time and effect of AZ31 magnesium al oy stent in the rabbit aorta. METHODS:Twenty New Zealand white rabbits were subjected to implantation of biodegradable AZ31 magnesium al oy stents into the abdominal aorta. After implantation, the animals were grossly observed, and five animals were sacrificed under anesthesia at 1, 2, 3 and 4 months respectively for X-ray and histological observations. The number of residual struts was calculated under microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:X-ray findings showed that the implanted stent was found to be in complete form at 1 month after implantation, and its degradation was elicited at 2 months, indicating the stent lost its supporting role gradual y. The stent was degraded mostly at 3 months and degraded completely at 4 months. After implantation, the degradation rate of the stent was increased over time, which was confirmed by the X-ray findings. The number of residual struts was correlated with the time of degradation (r=-0.943, P<0.05). The slope of the linear regression equation was-0.12, based on which, the total time of the stent degradation was calculated to be 105 days. These results show that the AZ31 magnesium al oy stent implanted in the rabbit aorta is gradual y degraded with time, and the number of its residual struts exhibits an association with the degradation time. Given that the average number of degraded struts per day is 0.12, the complete stent is expected to be degraded within 105 days after implantation.

Objective Toobservetheclinicalsignificanceofcerebrovascularhemodynamicindex (CVHI)inthepatientswithsilentcerebralinfarction.Methods Atotalof180patientsperformed cerebrovascular hemodynamics with ultrasound and head MRI examinations were enrolled retrospectively. They were divided into three groups:60 patients with silent cerebral infraction (SCI)were used as a SCI group,60 age-,sex- and previous medical history-matched high risk patients with cerebrovascular disease were used as a cerebrovascular disease risk factor (CV-HRF)group,and 60 healthy subjects were used as a normal control group over the same period. Cerebrovascular function detector was used to collect CVHI at the bilateral carotid arteries. The CVHI features of the 3 groups were analyzed and compared. Results Comparedwiththecontrolgroup,thereweresignificantchangesinvariousindexesofcerebral vascular hemodynamics in the SCI group and the CV-HRF group. The indexes of reflecting the cerebral blood supply state included significantly decreased mean blood flow,mean flow velocity,maximum flow velocity,and minimum flow velocity (P<0. 05);the indexes reflecting vascular elastic properties and resistance status included the increased pulse wave velocity,characteristic impedance,peripheral resistance,and dynamic resistance (P<0. 05);the indexes reflecting cerebral microcirculation included significantly increased critical pressure and decreased differential pressure (P<0. 05);the total score of cerebrovascular function was also decreased significantly,they were 44 ± 9,51 ± 5,and 85 ± 7,respectively (P<0. 05);there were significance differences in the distribution of total score amongthe3groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Thehigh-riskpatientswithsilentcerebralinfarction and cerebrovascular disease have the CVHI changes. The total integrated value of cerebrovascular function declined,and the former is more obvious.

Objective:To discuss the effect of AngⅡ on insulin gene expression IN RIN-m cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods:RIN-m cells were cultured and divided into three groups, including the control group, 100 nmol·L-1 AngⅡ group and losartan pretreatment group. After 24-hour incubation, insulin gene expression in RIN-m cells was detected by RT-PCR, the mean flu-orescent intensity of 2', 7'-dichlorofluorescein ( DCF) was detected by flow cytometry, PDX-1 and MafA mRNA expression were detec-ted by RT-PCR and the protein expression was detected by Western-blot. Results: Insulin expression in RIN-m cells, cellular ROS level, PDX-1 expression and MafA expression in 100 nmol · L-1 AngⅡ group were significantly different from those in the control group and losartan pretreatment group (P<0. 05). The later two groups had no significant differentces in those indices (P>0. 05). Conclusion:AngⅡ can down-regulate PDX-1 and MafA expression inβ-cells through oxidative stress pathway, and then inhibit insu-lin gene expression. Pretreatment with losartan can antagonize the effect of AngⅡ, and has protective effect onβ-cells in the aspect of insulin gene expression.
