Objective:To explore the mediating effect of inferiority feelings on the relationship between child-hood trauma and fear of intimacy in college students.Methods:Totally 420 college students (72 males and 324 fe-males,aged 18 to 24)from Langfang Normal School were assessed with the Feelings of Inadequacy Scale(FIS), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire(CTQ)and Fear-of-Intimacy Scale(FIS).The regression analysis and Bootstrap were used to test the mediating effect of inferiority feelings on the relationship between childhood trauma and fear of intimacy.Results:The total scores of CTQ and the scores of 4 childhood trauma factors were positively correla-ted with fear of intimacy score and feeling of inferiority score(r =0.18 -0.55,Ps <0.05).Feeling of inferiority scores were positively correlated with fear of intimacy scores (r =0.24 -0.44,Ps <0.05).The childhood trauma was positively associated with fear of intimacy (β=0.31,P <0.01).In addition,feeling of inferiority fully media-ted the relationship between childhood trauma and fear of intimacy,the value of mediating effect was 34%.Conclu-sion:Feeling of inferiority may play a mediating role between childhood trauma and fear of intimacy in college students.

Objective To explore the optimal timing of liver transplantation for acute liver failure,and analyze relative risk factors affecting patients' prognosis.Methods We retrospectively analyze perioperative clinical data of 50 patients suffering from acute liver failure who underwent liver transplantation between March 2005 and June 2010 in Organ Transplantation Center,the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.Patients were divided into survival group and death group.Clinical data before operation were collected and analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis,respectively.Risk factors influencing the perioperative mortality were selected and were used to direct the operation time.Results There were 50 patients who underwent liver transplantation and 11 cases died during perioperative phase.Five patients died of respiratory infection,three of acute renal failure,one of digestive tract hemorrhage,one of primary allograft failure and one of multiple organ failure.The perioperative,one-year and three-year survival rate were 78％,74％ and 72％ respectively.In the univariate analysis,age,bilirubin level,prothrombin time,creatinine level,grade of encephalopathy and MELD score were found to be significantly different between survival group and death group.The multivariate analysis revealed that age≥65 y,INR ≥3.5,creatinine level ≥ 2.5 mg/dl and MELD score ≥ 40 were independent risk factors affecting survival.Conclusions Liver transplantation is an effective treatment of choice for acute liver failure.Appropriate timing of transplantation helps achieve a high survival rate.

The mRNA and protein expression of thymidylate synthase (TS), thymidine phosphorylase (TP) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) and their relationship with prognosis were investigated. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (Taqman) was used to detect the mRNA expression of TS, TP and DPD in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded 106 samples of epithelial ovarian cancer and 29 normal ovaries. A TATA box-binding protein (TBP) was used as an endogenous reference gene. A relationship between TS, TP, DPD expression and clinicopathologic features was investigated. The protein location and expression of TS, TP and DPD was examined in the same patients by an avidin-biotin-peroxidase immunohistochemistry. TS and TP mRNA expression levels were significantly higher in tumor group than in normal controls, with the average value of TS and TP mRNA being 6.14+/-0.62 and 0.59+/-0.06 in tumor tissue, and 0.71+/-0.14 and 0.16+/-0.04 in normal tissue, respectively. DPD mRNA expression levels were significantly lower in tumor group (0.11+/-0.02) than in normal controls (0.38+/-0.05). There was statistically significant difference in TS and TP mRNA expression levels among different pathological grades and clinical stages (P<0.05), but histological subtype was not significantly associated with TS and TP mRNA expression. DPD gene expression was not significantly associated with any clinicopathological parameters. Immunohistochemistry revealed that TP protein was mainly distributed in nucleus, and TS and DPD mainly in cytoplasm. The protein expression intensity of TS, TP and DPD was coincided with the mRNA expression levels. It was concluded that TS, TP mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly higher in epithelial ovarian cancer, and DPD mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly lower. The expression levels of TS and DPD were related to the patients' prognosis and survival. Combined gene expression levels of TS, TP and DPD represent a new variable to predict the clinical outcome in ovarian cancer. The association of TS, TP and DPD expression levels with survival suggests an importance of these genes for tumor occurrence and progression.

Objective:To explore the regulatory effect of glutathione S-transferase P1(GSTP1) on the radiosensitivity of mouse Lewis lung cancer (LLC) cells.Methods:GSTP1-shRNA lentivirus and negative control lentivirus were used to respectively infect the LLC cells, and stable transgenic strains were selected. Real-time PCR and Western blot were conducted to quantitatively measure the expression levels of GSTP1 mRNA and protein in the LLC cells to verify the knockdown effect. The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay was used to detect cell viability after irradiation. The colony formation assay was utilized to assess the cell proliferation ability after irradiation. Flow cytometry was performed to assess the level of cell apoptosis after irradiation. The tumor-bearing mice were established and irradiated to detect the changes in the tumor volume after irradiation. TUNEL staining was employed to detect the level of tumor apoptosis after irradiation. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the number of CD 4+ CD 8+ T cells in the tumor after irradiation. Results:Real-time PCR and Western blot showed that after shRNA lentivirus interference, the expression levels of GSTP1 mRNA and protein were significantly down-regulated. Down-regulation of GSTP1 reduced cell viability and proliferation, and increased the rate of cell apoptosis after irradiation. The tumor volume of the tumor-bearing mice after irradiation in the GSTP1 knockdown group was significantly smaller than that in the NC group, whereas the tumor apoptosis rate was significantly higher and the number of infiltrating CD 4+ CD 8+ T cells in the tumor was remarkably higher compared with those in the control group. Conclusion:Knockdown of GSTP1 can significantly increase the radiosensitivity of LLC cells and enhance the infiltration of lymphocytes in tumor tissues.
