Objective To evaluate the inhibitory effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in lesions of patients with psoriasis on T lymphocyte proliferation.Methods Tissue specimens were obtained from the lesions of 15 patients with psoriasis vulgaris (7 at progressive stage and 8 at resting stage) and normal skin of 15 human controls from the Department of Urology and Plastic Surgery,Taiyuan City Centre Hospital.MSCs were isolated from these skin specimens,cultured,and identified using flow cytometry and in vitro differentiation assay.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the concentration of interleukin (IL)-6,IL-1 1,hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 in the culture supernatant of third-passage MSCs.Peripheral blood T cells were obtained from a healthy adult and cocultured with the third-passage MSCs for four days.Then,cells were counted and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was conducted to evaluate the proliferation of T cells.One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) test were carried out to compare the proliferation of T lymphocytes,and two independent samples t test to compare the concentrations of cytokines.Results Inverted microscopy revealed that the patient-and control-derived MSCs shared similar morphological properties and multi-directional differentiation capacity,along with the expression of CD29,CD44,CD73,CD90 and CD105,but absence of CD34,CD45 and HLA-DR on cell surface.After coculture with MSCs from the patients and controls for four days,the count of T lymphocytes per milliliter was (1.67 ± 0.34) × 105 and (1.04 ± 0.29) × 105 respectively (P< 0.01),and the proliferative activity (expressed as absorbence at 492 nm)was 0.317 ± 0.021 and 0.275 ± 0.007 respectively (P < 0.01).Compared with the control-derived MSCs,the patient-derived MSCs showed a significantly higher level of IL-1 1 ((181.37 ± 31.74) vs.(130.07 ± 29.20) ng/L,t =5.32,P < 0.01),but a lower level of lL-6 ((61.67±17.53) vs.(76.74±18.96) ng/L,t=2.61,P<0.05)and HGF ((319.24 ± 41.03) vs.(352.35 ± 51.47) ng/L,t =2.25,P< 0.05),as well as a similar level of TFG-β1,in the culture supernatant.Conclusions The inhibitory effect of MSCs in psoriatic lesions on T lymphocyte proliferation is diminished,which may contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Objective To study the characteristics of its pathologic and neurophysiologic changes of a ani-mal model of cervical spinal cord compression, and to explore the relationship between the severity of spinal cord inju-ry and its functions. Methods Thirty-two rabbits were divided into 4 groups randomly. A catheter was inserted intothe vertebral canal and a balloon was inflated to compress spinal cord in epidural space. According to the diameter ofballoon, the animals were divided into 4 groups (A, B, C, D group), Each group consisted of 8 rabbits. The corti-cal somatosensory evoked potential (CSEP) and motor evoked potential (MEP) were used to assess neurologicalfunction. Motor function behavior was scored before and on 1, 3, 7 and 14 days after surgery. Histological observa-tions were performed, pathological changes were observed by light and electron microscope. Results Spinal cordcompression resulted in a gradual increase of the peak latency and significant decrease of the peak amplitude. The la-tency and amplitude of MEP were changed more dramatically than those of CSEP. The result indicated that MEP wasmore sensitive than CSEP to the compression. Analysis also revealed that the severer the pathologic changes, the lon-ger the latency and the lower the amplitude of the evoked potentials. Conclusion The animal model presented inthis paper was simple and standardized. Evoked potentials as a noninvasive technique have great value in monitoringspinal cord function. The variance of amplitude and the latency in significantly correlate with the degree of compres-sion of the spinal cord.

Objective:
To understand the relationships of social exclusion, personality trait and emotion regulation with willingness to seek help after being bullied, and to provide reference for rationalized intervention of campus bullying among middle school students.
Methods:
A tatal of 2 040 middle school students from a middle school in Jiangxi Province were selected as the research objects, and surveyed by general situation questionnaire, Olweus Bullying Questionnaire, Willingness to Seek Help Scale, social exclusion scale, personality scale and Emotion Regulation Scale. Among them, a further survey of 381 bullies was conducted and SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical processing of data.
Results:
About 55.88% (133/238) and 58.74% (84/143) reported willingness to seek help after being bullied among middle and high school students, respectively( χ 2=0.30, P >0.05). There were no significant differences in gender and residency( P >0.05). In junior middle school students, compared with the non help willingness group( 3.83± 0.78,3.35±1.03,3.33±1.03,29.81±7.77), the rejected scores of the help willingness group were lower(3.57±0.75), scores of affinity and openness in personality traits were higher(3.69±0.88,3.72±0.79), the cognitive reappraisal scores were higher( 32.42 ±8.25). Among senior middle school students, the rejected and expression suppression scores of the help willingness group were lower(3.51±0.67,26.96±7.47), while extroversion personality traits were higher(3.61±0.95). Multivariate unconditional Log binomial regression analysis showed that high score of expression suppression was associated with less willingness to seek help( OR=0.94, P =0.02).
Conclusion
Social exclusion, personality trait and emotional regulation may have certain influences on willingness to seek help after being bullied among junior and senior middle school students, effects varies by grade level.
