Objective:
To explore the relationship among social support, self-efficacy, peer pressure and physical exercise behavior and to provide a reference for subjective initiative of college students in physical exercise.
Methods:
Questionnaire survey regarding social support, peer pressure and self-efficacy, as well as physical exercise behavior was administered among 1 189 students from 3 colleges and universities in Henan Province during August to October 2019.
Results:
Peer pressure score was (18.72±4.02), subjective support score was (14.76±3.46), objective support score was (10.98±2.53), utilization score for support was (11.20±3.12), self-efficacy score was (36.79±8.00), physical exercise behavior score was (21.72±4.75). Subjective support, objective support, utilization of support, peer pressure, self-efficacy and college students ’ physical exercise behavior were significantly positively correlated(P<0.05). Structural equation model showed that subjective support, objective support, utilization of support, peer pressure, and self-efficacy significantly positively associated with physical exercise behavior,with standardization coefficients of 0.08, 0.12, 0.13, 0.40, 0.90(P<0.05), respectively. Self-efficacy has significant mediating effect on peer pressure, subjective support, objective support, utilization of support and physical exercise behavior of college students used, with standardized effect quantities being 55.36%, 90.73%, 85.88%, 87.92%, respectively.
Conclusion
College students’ physical exercise behavior is closely related to social support, peer pressure and self-efficacy. Social support has a significant impact on college students’ physical exercise behavior, and self-efficacy, while self-efficacy and peer pressure all have a positive effect on college students’ physical exercise behavior.

Objective To study the role of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)?receptor75000(p75)in psoriasis vulgaris.Methods Expression of p75was detected by immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)in skin and sera of patients with psoriasis vulgaris.Results Expression of p75was not found in skin of normal controls.p75expression was noted in epidermis of lesional and non-le-sional psoriatic skin,and in dermal infiltrating mononuclear cells(MNCs)of psoriatic skin.The staining in-tensity of p75on epidermal keratinocytes(EKCs)was significantly correlated(r' s =0.732,P

In order to study the tumor suppression effect of p53 with CMV enhancer and hTERT promoter mediated by human-derived vector pHrn in liver cancer cell Bel-7402, report plasmid pchEGFP, tumor suppressor plasmids pchp53Arg and pchp53Pro were constructed by inserting expression cassette CMVe+hTERTp+EGFP, CMVe+hTERTp+p53Arg and CMVe+hTERTp+p53Pro into pHrn respectively. 24 h after cell transfection by lipofectamine 2000, GFP expression pattern was analyzed through fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry; RT-PCR and Western blot were taken to study the p53 expression pattern. The cell apoptosis by Hoechst 33258 and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining was also studied. Results show that the expression of GFP and p53 protein in Bel-7402were detected, but apparent cell apoptosis could not be found. The recombinant p53 mediated by human-derived vector could express in Bel-7402, but no significant tumor suppression effect was detected, which might result from the down regulation effect of the wild type p53 on hTERT promoter.

Objective To analyze the differences in immune system between Npc1 gene mutant (Npc1-/ -) and wild-type (Npc1+/ +) mice for better understanding the pathogenesis of Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) from an immunological perspective and providing reference for NPC1 treatment in clinic.Methods Body, thymus and spleen weight of Npc1-/ -and Npc1+/ + mice aged (14±2) days, (42±2) days and (63±2) days (Day14±2 , Day42±2 and Day63±2 ) were recorded and the associated organ index were calcu-lated. White blood cell count in peripheral blood of mice aged Day42±2 was examined by routine blood test. Expression of cytokines at mRNA level in mouse peripheral blood was detected by qPCR. Percentages of CD4+, CD8+ and CD19+ lymphocytes in peripheral blood and spleen of mice aged Day42±2 were measured by flow cytometry. Apoptosis and senescence of spleen in mice aged Day63±2 were examined by immunofluores-cence and β-galactosidase staining. Results Compared with Npc1+/ + mice, there was no significant differ-ence in the weight of spleen and thymus in Npc1-/ - mice aged Day14±2; the weight of spleen in Npc1-/ - mice aged Day42±2 significantly increased, but the weight of thymus showed a significant decrease; furthermore, both the weight of spleen and thymus in Npc1-/ - mice aged Day63±2 significantly decreased; and the body weight of Npc1-/ - mice of each age group significantly decreased. Moreover, compared with Npc1+/ + mice, the absolute number of lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of Npc1-/ - mice aged Day42±2 showed no signifi-cant difference, but the percentage in whole white blood cells significantly decreased due to the significantly increased neutrophils. Expression of cytokines ( IL-1, IL-2, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4, granzyme A and granzyme B) at mRNA level in the peripheral blood leukocytes of Npc1-/ - mice aged Day42±2 was abnormal as compared with that in Npc1+/ + mice. The number of T (CD4+ and CD8+) lymphocytes in Npc1-/ - mice aged Day42±2 significantly decreased, while the number of B (CD19+) lymphocytes increased significantly as com-pared with those in the Npc1+/ + mice. Compared with Npc1+/ + mice, apoptosis and senescence of the spleen in Npc1-/ - mice aged Day63±2 aggravated significantly. Conclusion The abnormal lipid metabolism triggered by Npc1 gene mutation causes severe immune dysfunction in Npc1-/ - mice. Therefore, immune dysfunction should be taken into full consideration when treating patients with NPC1, which might help improve the life quality and prolong the survival time.

Epilepsy surgery is the main treatment method for medically intractable epilepsy,but at present,its clinical application is significantly limited by medical costs,which is also an important reason for the gap in treatment,and cost-effectiveness analysis can help to narrow this gap. This article analyzes the impact of cost-effectiveness on epilepsy surgery,the cost-effectiveness of preoperative evaluations,and cost-effectiveness across different age groups and surgical procedures,in order to promote the allocation of healthcare resources and provide appropriate surgical treatment options for patients. Preoperative evaluations,epilepsy surgery for both adults and children,and surgical methods such as resection or neuromodulation have shown favorable cost-effectiveness,particularly in the long term. However,further studies are needed to investigate the cost-effectiveness of ablative therapies.

Microbiome research is a quickly developing field in biomedical research, and we have witnessed its potential in understanding the physiology, metabolism and immunology, its critical role in understanding the health and disease of the host, and its vast capacity in disease prediction, intervention and treatment. However, many of the fundamental questions still need to be addressed, including the shaping forces of microbial diversity between individuals and across time. Microbiome research falls into the classical nature vs. nurture scenario, such that host genetics shape part of the microbiome, while environmental influences change the original course of microbiome development. In this review, we focus on the nature, i.e., the genetic part of the equation, and summarize the recent efforts in understanding which parts of the genome, especially the human and mouse genome, play important roles in determining the composition and functions of microbial communities, primarily in the gut but also on the skin. We aim to present an overview of different approaches in studying the intricate relationships between host genetic variations and microbes, its underlying philosophy and methodology, and we aim to highlight a few key discoveries along this exploration, as well as current pitfalls. More evidence and results will surely appear in upcoming studies, and the accumulating knowledge will lead to a deeper understanding of what we could finally term a "hologenome", that is, the organized, closely interacting genome of the host and the microbiome.
