Objective:To differentiate the methamphetamine users according to the developmental stages of addictive behavior, and explore the characteristics of different stages in order to provid a theoretical reference for our clinical intervention.Methods:Take the male methamphetamine users in compulsory detoxification institute whom were admitted from September 2018 to December 2019 as research objects.All the objects were asked to complete clinical diagnosis, interview and questionnaire evaluation in one week.According to the developmental stages of addictive behavior, the subjects were divided into occasional use group ( n=51), regular use group ( n=95) and compulsive use group ( n=157).All subjects were evaluated using visual analogue scale(VAS), Barrett impulsiveness scale(BIS)and CogState scale.SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis, AVOVA or Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for group comparison.Multiple Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors associated with the development of addictive behavior. Results:(1)The compulsive use group had higher cumulative duration(24(8, 48), 12(4, 24), 22(10, 36)), average dose(6.6±3.8, 2.8±1.4, 4.5±3.4) and craving score(1(0, 5), 0(0, 1), 1(0, 3)) than the other two groups(all P<0.05).And individuals in compulsive use group had more previous heroin use experience(20.4%, 9.8%, 14.8%, P<0.05).The regular use group had more withdrawal times than the other two groups(1(1, 3), 1(0, 1), 1(1, 2), P<0.05).The total scores of Barrett impulsiveness scale(42.8±13.3, 34.5±13.6, 36.1±14.9) and the scores in all dimensions in the compulsive use group were significantly higher than those in the other two groups(motor impulsiveness: 37.5±15.8, 27.8±13.4, 29.2±17.8; attentional impulsiveness: 43.2±18.0, 39.4±17.0, 37.2±18.1; non-planning impulsiveness: 47.2±19.8, 38.8±18.7, 40.7±20.8; P<0.05) .In the compulsive use users, the ISL(16.50±4.87, 19.30±4.78, 18.33±4.91) and SEC(0.76±0.21, 0.89±0.22, 0.81±0.21) scores about cognitive assessment were significantly lower than other two groups(both P<0.05).(2)The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that cumulative duration ( β=0.022, OR=1.022, 95% CI: 1.003-1.042), dosage( β=0.625, OR=1.869, 95% CI: 1.196-2.921), craving ( β=0.194, OR=1.214, 95% CI: 1.002-1.215), the total scores of Barrett impulse scale( β=0.036, OR=1.037, 95% CI: 1.013-1.061), scores of non-planning impulsiveness( β=0.040, OR=1.041, 95% CI: 1.004-1.038), scores of motor impulsiveness( β=0.033, OR=1.214, 95% CI: 1.001-1.068) were associated with the periodic grouping of addictions. Conclusions:Addictive behavior is a progressive process and methamphetamine users at different stages have different characteristics in substance use, impulsiveness and cognitive function.The development of addictive behavior is associated with the time, dosage and craving of substance use, as well as the personality impulsivity of users.And the compulsive users suffered more cognitive impairment than the other two groups. The methamphetamine users should be identified dynamically and targeted therapeutic intervention measures should be carried out to block the addictive process to achieve the goal of harm reduction.

Objective To assess the prognosis of patients with bladder neck (BN) involvement in radical prostatectomy specimens and compare it with patients with seminal vesicle invasion (SVI).Methods From January 2002 to December 2008,42 patients with prostate carcinoma who underwent radical prostatectomy were analyzed retrospectively.The mean age was 70.3 years (range 59-78 years).The patients were divided into two groups according to 2002 TNM system:pT4a group (bladder neck invasion) with 17 cases and pT3b group (unilateral or bilateral seminal vesicle invasion)with 25 cases.Postoperative outpatients were followed-up on a regular basis,two consecutive postoperative serums PSA greater than 0.2 μg/L defined as a biochemical recurrence.The postoperative follow-up to the time of biochemical recurrence or follow up to the deadline without biochemical recurrence were defined as biochemical recurrence free survival time.Results All patients were followed up for 50-122 months.The patients with BN involvement 17.6％ (3/17) had biochemical recurrence,whereas seminal vesicle invasion 24.0％ (6/25),there was no statistical significance between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusions Postoperative adjuvant therapies can improve the biochemical recurrence free survival.In this study,the prognosis of pT4a and pT3b group is similar.A conceivable down-staging of BN involvement in the TNM staging system should be considered.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of postburn fluid resuscitation on the pathohistological and ultrastructural changes of multiple organs with dysfunction in severely burned dogs.

METHODSForty - four mongrel dogs were randomly divided into four groups: (1) immediate infusion (II, n = 8), (2) delayed infusion (DI, n = 15), (3) no infusion (NI, n = 14), (4) normal control (NC, n = 7). The dogs were inflicted with 50% TBSA III degree flame burn produced by napalm in concentration of 30g/L burning for 30 seconds on the back. Small pieces of tissue samples of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract were taken from injured dogs at 72 postburn hours (PBHs) or moribund stage for the examination with light microscope (LM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM).

RESULTSDifferent degrees of blood circulation disturbance and degenerative changes were found in all above internal organs. These changes were more evident in DI than in II and NI groups.

CONCLUSIONDelayed postburn fluid resuscitation could induce multiple organ dysfunction in early postburn stage.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between frailty and health literacy in elderly patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency.Methods:The convenience sampling method was used to select 290 elderly patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency who were hospitalized in the Department of Geriatrics and Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of a tertiary first-class hospital in Wuhu City from Mar 2022 to Jun 2022.The patients were investigated with the general information questionnaire,FRAIL scale,Health Literacy Management Scale,etc.Spearman analysis was used to analyze the correlation between frailty and health literacy.Binary logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of frailty in elderly patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency.Results:The incidence of frailty in elderly patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency was 22.8% .Spearman analysis showed that the total score of health literacy was negatively correlated with frailty(r=-0.291,P= 0.000).Results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that health literacy score(OR=0.419,95% CI:0.266-0.908),long-term insomnia(OR=6.466,95% CI:2.099-19.914),nutritional risk(OR=11.202,95% CI:3.983-31.508),depression risk(OR=10.014,95% CI:1.963-51.075),chronic disease types≥5(OR=12.784,95% CI:3.811-42.878),exercise self-efficacy(OR=0.512,95% CI:0.304-0.956),and chronic disease information acquisition ability(OR=0.512,95% CI:0.304-0.956)were independent predictors of frailty in elderly patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency(P＜0.05).Conclusions:The incidence of frailty in elderly patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency is high,and clinical staff should pay more attention to the elderly with frailty,especially patients with long-term insomnia,risk of nutrition and depression,coexistence of chronic diseases,low level of health literacy and exercise self-efficacy.Targeted measures should be actively taken to improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the readmission rate.

Objective:To explore the differences of wear resistance of three kinds of glass ceramics and Wieland Zenostar zircona (Zenostar) , and to clarify their influencing factors.Methods:Zenostar were made into flat-shaped specimens (zirconia base sample group) and hemisphere-shaped specimens (zirconia pair grinding group) .There kinds of glass ceramics IPS Empress (Empress) , IPS e.max CAD (e.max) , VITA Suprinity (Suprinty) were used as base specimens.Each group was exposed to UMT-2testing machine to simulate the clinical service.The wear depthes of base specimens were detected by laser confocal scanning.Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to evaluate the wear surfaces.Results:In zirconia base sample group, there were no significant differences in the maximum wear depthes to Zenostar between the three kinds of glass ceramics (P＞0.05) .In zirconia pair grinding group, the maximum wear depthes ranked as follows:Zenostar group＜e.max group≈Empress group＜Suprinity group;there was no significant difference between e.max group and Empress group (P＞0.05) , but there were significant differences between other groups (P＜0.01) .The SEM results showed that the wearing surface of the Zenostar in zirconia base sample group was relatively smooth;whereas the wearing surface of Empress in zirconia pair grinding group was rougher with alarge area of clebris desquamation surface.Conclusion:The wear resistance of the three kinds of glass ceramics to Zenostar is related to the compositions and the chemical structures of materials.

Objective To investigate the miRNA expression profiles in rectal cancer tissues and their associations with clinical pathological stage, depth of tumor invasion, and lymph node metastasis, and to evaluate the potential of miRNA as diagnostic and prognostic markers of rectal cancer. Methods Human miRNA microarray was used to profile miRNA expression in rectal cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues (n=71). The up-regulated miR-93-5p and down-regulated miR-27a-3p were screened out, and the top differentially expressed miRNA were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction ( qRT-PCR) . The relationship between the expression of miRNA and clinical parameters was analyzed by ANOVA and Spearman correlation. Results The expression of miR-27a-3p was down-regulated in miRNA microarray, but was up-regulated in qRT-PCR analysis;the data were relatively discrete. The expression of miR-93-5p was up-regulated in both miRNA microarray and qRT-PCR analysis;the expression level of miR-93-5p in rectal cancer tissues was 3165 times that in adjacent normal tissues ( P=00058);the expression level was correlated with tumor volume ( P= 0004 ) , and was positively correlated with the level of carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) before treatment ( P=0001) and the number of lymph nodes metastases (rs=0534, P=0005). Conclusions There is a differential miRNA expression pattern between rectal cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues. The miR-93-5p is highly up-regulated in rectal cancer tissues and may serve as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of rectal cancer.
