Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2010;19(11):1019-1021
Objective To explore the relationship of job-seeking self-efficacy, vocational interest and professional commitment. Methods 568 college students were questioned by job-seeking self-efficacy scale, vocational Interest Inventory and Professional Commitment scale. Results Job-seeking self-efficacy were positively related to professional commitment( r = 0.47, P < 0. 0 1 ) ;different level of job-seeking self-efficacy had significant difference in professional commitment( F (2.565 =60.48, P<0. 01 ). Among six types of vocational interest, career interest got highest correlation on professional commitment( r=0. 31, P<0.01 ). Path analysis found that job search self-efficacy directly impacted on professional commitment( B = 0.58, P < 0. 01 ), job search self-efficacy could also through research-oriented career interest had an indirect impact on the professional commitment ( B =0. 05, P < 0. 0 1 ). Conclusion Professional commitment is mainly effected by job search self-efficacy, career interest. As a result, all these factors should be taken under consideration to improve colleges' professional commitment.

Objective To systematic review the methodological quality of guidelines for Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in children, to provide a reference for clinical evidence-based medicine. Methods Guidelines concerning GBS were electronically retrieved from PubMed, EMbase, CBM, Wanfang data, CNKI and Vip. The guide databases includes major medical institutions and industry sites such as NGC, GIN, TRIP , CDC, IDSA, AAP, WHO, Chinese Health and Family Planning Committee website, library of clinical guidelines China and Chinese clinical guidelines for collaboration. All the data were searched from inception of the database or network to Oct. 2013. Two reviews independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and assessed the quality of guideline using the AGREEⅡ. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to examine the conformance of the raters' evaluation scores. Results A total of 5 guidelines concerning GBS were included, with a time range from 2003 to 2012, and origins from USA, EU and Canada. The final recommendation levels of the 5 articles were level B. According to the AGREEⅡ, domain 3 and 4 showed the higher scores, and scores were generally low in domain 5. Plasma exchange (PE) and intravenous immuneglobulin (IVIG) showed positive effects on the treatment of GBS. But it was not recommended that combined PE and IVIG. Corticosteroids are also not recommended for GBS treatment. Conclusions The recommendations of medicines for GBS are basically consistent. However, the classification criteria of the levels of evidence and recommendation are still unconsistent and suboptimal. The guidelines on GBS should be improved in“Applicability”in future.

Objective To investigate the influence of calcitonin on bone mineral density and biomechanics around the artificial pros-thesis in ovariectomized diabetic rabbit model. Methods Fourteen femina New Zealand white rabbits at the age of 5 months old were select-ed, which weight 2.24 -2.65kg, averaging 2.26kg. First, the model of rabbit with diabetic osteoporosis was successfully established by the compound method of ovariectomy plus streptozotocin. Osteotomy in the middle part of femur was performed in both groups, fixation of artifi-cial prosthesis was done with 3.0 kirschner wire. After that, Rabbit models with diabetic osteoporosis were randomly divided into experimen-tal group and control group. Rabbits in the experimental group were treated with calcitonin 6U intramuscular injection once every other day. In control group, intramuscular injection of normal saline solution 1.5ml once every three days. Rabbit models of two groups were sacrificed in the 24th week. The BMD of the region of interest (ROI) around the prosthesis were detected before experiment and 8, 16 and 24 weeks after injection. After rabbits were killed, experimental femurs in both groups were complete removal and soft tissues were rejected. Determi-nation of the pull-out and torsion bone biomechanics experiments of prosthesis was done in both groups respectively. Results The BMD of ROI in the experimental group before operation was (0.1863±0.004)g/cm2 and (0.1753±0.005)g/cm2 in 24 weeks after operation, in control group before operation was (0.1865±0.002)g/cm2 and (0.1638±0.005)g/cm2 in 24 weeks after operation. There were significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.05). Biomechanical show that the pull-out strength in the experimental group was (312.68±8.73 )N/cm2 and (205.43±12.45 ) N/cm2 in control group. There were significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.05). The tor-sion strength in experimental group was (80.47±2.51) N/cm2 and (38.52±0.64) N/cm2 in control group. There were significant differ-ence between the two groups(P < 0.05). Conclusion Salmon calcitonin can reduce the bone turnover rate around prosthesis and decrease bone absorption in the rabbit of diabetic osteoporosis models, accelerate the bone formation around prosthesis, and increase the BMD. It can ameliorate the quality of bone around prosthesis, improve its biomechanics property, and increase the holding power between prosthesis and body mass. It is of clinical significance for the prevention and treatment of aseptic loosening artificial prosthesis.

AIM: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of a novel anticholinergic drug penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) and its four optical isomers R-1, R-2, S-1, and S-2. METHODS: Two in vitro assays, MTT assay and neutral red uptake assay, were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity following PHC and its isomers exposure to HepG2 cells at different concentrations. RESULTS: PHC and its isomers induced decreases of viability of HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Comparison of the cytotoxicity of the five anticholinergic agents with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values indicated that the order of potency was PHC>R-2>R-1>S-2>S-1 for MTT assay, and R-2>PHC≈R-1>S-2>S-1 for neutral red uptake assay. CONCLUSION: With respect to the cytotoxicity of the four isomers on HepG2 cells, the R configuration was more potent than the S configuration, and R-2 was the most potent isomer whereas S-1 was the least potent isomer among the four optical isomers.
