1.Study on the defense styles in patients with hysteria
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2009;18(7):623-624
Objective To explore psychological defense mechanism and its relationship with personality in patients with hysteria(HyS). Method Both HyS patients (n=30) and normal control(NC, n=66) comple-ted Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ) . Results The scores of projection, isolation, somatization and the factor scores of immature defenses were significantly higher in HyS pa-tients(3.64±1.45, 5.63±2.29,5.33±2.36 and 4.74±1.27, respectively) than those in NC [(2.61±1.09,4.33±2.02, 3.86±1.60 and 3.98±0.91, respectively) (all P<0.01)]. The scores of undoing, idealization, pseudo-altruism and the factor scores of neurotic defenses were also significantly higher in HyS patients compared with NC(P<0.01). The scores of suppression, humor and the factor scores of mature defenses and the lie were found lower significantly in HyS patients compared with NC (P<0.05). The scores of the neuroticism, psychoticism and lie subscale of EPQ in HyS patients were significantly higher than that of NC(P<0.01). The scores of extro-vert subscale were not found difference significantly between HyS patients and NC. The results of correlation analy-sis showed that the scores of the psychoticism subscale of EPQ in HyS patients correlated negatively with the factor scores of mature mechanism and the scores of suppression. Conclusion The HyS patients were more likely than the normal control to endorse the immature mechanism and neurotic defense and less likely to endorse the mature mechanism, which related with unhealthy personality, especially the psychoticism.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the relationship between CLPTM1L gene and lung cancer 95-D cells sensitivity to gemcitabine,and to explore its potential mechanism of action. Methods Overexpression of lentivirus against CLPTM1L gene was constructed and infected with lung cancer 95-D cells;Cells were divided into the CLPTM1L overexpression group and con-trol group;The proliferation of cells in the overexpressing and control groups after gemcitabine treatment was detected by CCK-8;The changes of CLPTM1L gene and protein were detected by real-time PCR,Western blot and immunochemiluminescence;The changes of caspase-3/7 and caspase-9 activities were detected by bioluminescence;Western blot was used to detect the changes of p-4E-BP1 protein. Results The expression of CLPTM1L gene( P =0. 036) and its protein ( P <0. 01) was significantly increased after CLPTM1L overexpressed lentivirus-infected 95 -D cells;Compared with the control group,the proliferation of CLPTM1L overex-pressing group after gemcitabine treatment was increased(P <0. 01);The activity of caspase activity showed that the activities of caspase-3/7 and caspase-9 in the CLPTM1L overexpression group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0. 01);The phosphorylated level of 4E-BP1 protein in the CLPTM1L overexpression group was significantly higher than that in the control group. Conclusion Overexpression of CLPTM1L can reduce the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to gemcitabine. Its mechanism may be to increase the phosphorylation level of 4E-BP1.
