Objective:To explore the moderating effect of self-differentiation between life events and coping styles. Methods:Totally 584 college freshmen from Beijing and Jiangsu were selected to fill in the Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check-list (ASLEC),Differentiation of Self Inventory(DSI)and Simplified Coping Style Ques-tionnaire (SCSQ). Results:Self-differentiation had a moderating effect between life events and coping styles. The predicting effect of life events on negative coping was 0. 03 in the higher self-differentiation group (P>0. 05 ) while in the lower self-differentiation group,it was 0. 27 (P<0. 00 1 ). Conclusion:It suggests that higher self-differ-entiation could relieve the negative effect of life events to coping styles.

Objective To observe the outcomes of satellite ganglion block(SGB)via posterior edge of stcmoclcidomastoid approach.Methods SGB was performed in 2 400 patients,who wererandomly divided into two groups with l 200 cases each.The puncture of SGB in group SPA was via posterior edge of sternocleidomastoid approach and that in group TPA via traditional paratracheal approac}L The same local anesthetics was used in two groups.The success rate(Horner'S syndrome appearance)and complications were compared.Results The success rate was higher in group SPA than that in group TPA(97% VS.92%)(P<0.05).Repeated puncture was needed in 16 cases ingroup SPA,which were less than 98 cases in group TPA(P<0.05).Laryngeal nerve block wasoccurred in 24 cases in group SPA.which were less than 37 cases in group TPA(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared to the traditional paratracheal approach,SGB via posterior edge ofsternocleidomastoid approach has the advantages of clear positioning,easy puncture,higher success rate and less complications.

Objective To determine the dose-response relationship of 0.2％ ropivacaine for ultrasoundguided stellate ganglion block (SGB).Methods Seventy-five ASA physical status [or Ⅱ patients with migraine,aged 23-55 yr,with body mass index of 22-28 kg/m2,scheduled for elective ultrasound-guided SGB,were randomly divided into R1-5 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table.In R1,R2,R3,R4 and R5 groups,the patients underwent ultrasound-guided SGB with 0.2％ ropivacaine 1,2,3,4 and 5 ml,respectively.A successful SGB block was confirmed by the onset of ptosis (Horner syndrome) on the injected side.Probit analysis was used to calculate the effective dose of 0.2 ％ ropivacaine in 50 ％ and 95 ％ of the patients (ED50 and ED95) and 95％ confidence interval (95％ CI).Results The ED50 of 0.2％ ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided SGB was 2.2 ml (95％CI 1.9-2.5 ml) and ED95 was 3.2 ml (95％CI 2.8-4.1 ml).Conclusion The ED50 and ED95 of 0.2％ ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided SGB are 2.2 and 3.2 ml,respectively.

Objective To compare the onset time, duration and adverse effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) with different concentrations of lidocaine. Methods Two hundred and forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients (97 male, 143 female) aged 37-76 yr weighing 48-79 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 80 each): group A, B and C received unilateral SGB with 8 ml of 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% lidocaine respectively. Unilateral SGB was performed by the same anesthesiologist in all patients. Successful SGB was verified by Homer's syndrome. The onset time, duration and adverse effects were recorded. Results Homer's syndrome was observed in all patients. There was no significant difference in onset time among the 3 groups. The duration of action was significantly longer in group B and C than in group A and in group C than in group B. There was no significant difference in the adverse effects including recurrent laryngeal nerve block, brachial plexus block, local anesthetic intoxication and transient loss of consciousness among the 3 groups. Conclusion SGB can be induced with either 0.6%, 0.8% or 1.0% lidocaine with comparable effectiveness. We suggest using lower concentration of lidocaine.

Objective To compare dexmedetomidine versus lidocaine for suppression of fentanyl-induced coughing during induction of general anesthesia in patients.Methods Two hundred ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 36-50 yr,undergoing elective gynecological operations under total intravenous anesthesia,were randomized into 2 groups (n =100 each):dexmedetomidine group (group D) and lidocaine group (group L).Dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was intravenously infused over 10 min at a rate of 0.05 μg· kg-1· min-1 starting from 20 min before induction of anesthesia in group D.Lidocaine 0.5 mg/kg was injected intravenously at 1 min before induction of anesthesia in group L.For induction of anesthesia,fentanyl was given first,and 2 min later the other drugs were given.The development and degree of coughing were recorded within 1 min after fentanyl injection.The occurrence of adverse events was recorded.Results The incidence of coughing was significantly higher and the degree of coughing was severer in group L than in group D (P ＜ 0.05).There was no signihicant difference in the incidences of hypotension and severe sinus bradycardia between groups D and L (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg injected before induction of anesthesia has better suppressive effect on fentanyl-induced coughing during induction of general anesthesia than lidocaine 0.5 mg/kg in patients.

Objective To observe the effects of genistein on PCNA expression and cell cycle in fibroblasts derived from human hypertrophic scar in order to explore the mechanism of its inhibition on hypertrophic scar (HS) fibroblast proliferation. Methods The human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were cultured in vitro. Genistein with various concentrations (25, 50, 100 μmol/L) was co-cultured in the medium for 48 hours. The expression of PCNA was detected with immunocytochemical staining method and the cell cycle was measured with flow cytometry. Results Genistein could significantly decrease PCNA expression in HS fibroblasts, especially when its concentration at 50 μmol/L or 100 μmol/L. The cell percentage of G0～G1 phase decreased with drug′s concentration, and G2～M percentage increased conversely, implying the suspension of mitosis. In 100 μmol/L group, most cells blocked at S phase and a hypodiploid apoptosis peak could be observed ahead of G1 phase. Conclusion Genistein can inhibit the proliferation of human hypertrophic scar by blocking cell division as well as decreasing DNA synthesis.

Objective To investigate the effects of ultrashortwave therapy associated with home-based rehabilitation on lung function and quality of life (QOL) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Methods Ninety patients with stable COPD were equally and randomly divided into a combination group (received uhrashortwave therapy combined with home-based rehabilitation and regular treatment), a rehabilitation group (received home-based rehabilitation and regular treatment), and a control group ( received regular treatment). Spirometry and diaphragm function were measured, and St George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) was administered for QOL assessment at the beginning and after 6-month of treatment. Results FEVI% pred and FEV1% increased and average SGRQ scores decreased in the combination group and rehabilitation group. FEVI% pred and SGRQ scores improved most in combination group (all P < 0.05 ). FEV1% pred, FEV1 % and SGRQ scores in control group did not show any obvious change. Diaphragm function in all groups did not change significantly. Conclusions Ultra-shortwave therapy combined with home-based rehabilitation might have combinative effects in improving lung function and QOL of COPD patients.

Objective To investigate the different expression of microRNA-155 (miR-155) and cysteine-rich 61 (CYR61) in human placentas between severe preeclamptic and normal pregnancies.Methods Placentas were obtained from severe preeclamptic and healthy control pregnant women (n=18 for each group) at 36～40 gestational weeks. The expressions of miR-155 and CYR61 mRNA were assessed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and the levels of CYR61 protein were tested by Western blot. Results Compared with the control group, the miR-155 expression was increased in placentas from severe preeclampsia groups ( 165. 7 ± 16. 4 vs 527.9±49.1,t=7.00, P＜0.01), and the CYR61 mRNA expression (31.7±2.7 vs 16.4±1.2,t=5.10,P＜0. 01), as well as the CYR61 protein expression (36.4±1.5 vs 19.7±1.2,t=36.26, P＜0.01 ) were decreased. There was a significantly negative correlation between the expression of miR-155 and CYR61 mRNA within both groups (preeclamptic group: r=-0.52, P＜0.05;control:r=-0.57, P＜0.05). Conclusions Up-regulation of placental miR-155 in severe preeclampsia may be related to the decreased expression of CYR61. Both miR-155 and CYR61 may contribute to the disorders of placental angiogenesis in severe preeclampsia in human.
