Objective To understand the status of depression and compare with the same age group of Chinese norms of CES-D in urban areas and analyze its potential influencing factors among male nursing undergraduates.Methods In this cross-sectional study,the CES-D and self-made questionnaire were administrated to 102 male nursing undergraduates from two schools of nursing through two-stage random sampling.Results The prevalence of depression was 14.0%,and the score of nursing undergraduates was (11.00±6.37) points,which had no significant difference from the scores of the same age group of Chinese norms in urban areas.Univariate analysis showed that coming from countryside,worse interpersonal relationship,worse career prospect,getting no attention from parents had some significant association with depression.Multivariate analysis showed that worse career prospect and getting no attention from parents associated with lower CES-D scores.Condusions For male nursing undergraduates,efforts should be given from the aspects of families and career prospects to improve their psychological health condition,and reserve qualified resources for nursing profession.

Objective To study the pathological characteristic of VX2 hepatic tumor in rabbit and the value of ultrasound in detecting this tumor mode. Methods To establish a model of Rabbit Liver VX2 Tumor with ultrasound- guided implantation of constitution mass and ultrasounds scanning was performed at fourteen days and twentyone days after implantation. After that, all the rabbits were executed and pathological examination was performed. Results Twenty models of Rabbit Liver VX2 Tumor were successfully established. The fourteen days after implantation,18 rabbits were found tumor,tumor diameter 8. 6 ~ 11.8 mm, average diameter ( 10. 15 ± 0. 67) mm; The twenty one days after implantation,20 rabbits were found tumor, tumor diameter 13.2 ~ 18.3 mm, average diameter( 16. 13 ±1.98)mm. Ultrasound showed that the tumor in the rabbit liver was a single spherical or sphere-alike hypoechoic nudes,and there were higher blood flow signals around the nedus. In pathological examination,the tumors were exserted to the liver surface,the cross sections of the tumor were gray,the cells of the tumors were bigger than the normal liver cells,arranged into nests with fibrous tissue. Conclusion In pathological examination, the heteromorphism of VX2 tumor cell was conspicuous. The growth of VX2 hepatoma could be monitored by ultrasound effectively.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression difference in MicroRNA-21 (miRNA-21) levels of the plasma between the patients with coronary heart disease and the subjects without coronary artery lesions, and its clinical significance.
METHODSPlasma was obtained from the patients with coronary heart disease(trial group,56 cases) and the subjects without coronary artery lesions(control group, 10 cases), patients with coronary disease were divided into angina(AP, 39 cases) and acute myocardial infarction(AMI, 17 cases)subgroup, the contents of miRNA-21 were detected using qRT-PCR method, and the differential expression of miRNA-21 in each group was analyzed. The levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), high sensitive troponin I(cTnI), B type natriuretic peptide urea (BNP), Gensini, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), integral value of coronary left ventricular end diastole diameter (LV) and homocysteine (HCY) were determined and the correlation between miRNA-21 and these clinical indexes was analyzed.
RESULTSCompared with control group, there was a significant difference in expression of miRNA-21 in patients with angina and AMI (P < 0.05), and miRNA-21 expression in AMI group was much higher than that in AP group. There was statistical significance in CK, CK-MB, cTnI, Genisis integral comparison between AMI group and control group (P < 0.05). The correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between expression of CK, CK-MB, cTnI and the level of circulating miRNA-21 in patients with acute myocardial infarction. And there was a negative correlation between BNP, Gensini integral, LVEF value of coronary artery, LV and circulating miRNA-21.
CONCLUSIONmiRNA-21 was significantly elevated in acute myocardial infarction subgroup than the control group. The level of miRNA-21 associates with the degree of coronary artery stenosis, and might be a potential marker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. miRNA-21 may play an important role in protecting myocardium from ischemia/reperfusion injury.

OBJECTIVETo confirm the inhibitory effect of Chinese herbs of acid taste on melanin synthesis.
METHODSActive ingredients of 22 kinds Chinese herbs of acid tastes were extracted by alkali extraction and acid precipitation, alcohol extraction, and water extraction, respectively, which was then dispensed into 25.00, 12.50, and 6.25 g/L suspension. Their effects on activities of tyrosinase were detected using mushroom-tyrosinase-DOPA speed oxidation. Their inhibition rates on activities of tyrosinase were respectively compared with inhibition rates of 1.0, 0.5, and 0.1 mmol/L arbutin.
RESULTSThe 22 kinds Chinese herbs of acid taste included Cornus Officinalis, Crataegus pinnatifida, dark plum fruit, Schisandra Chinensis, Chaenomeles sinensis Koehne, Reynoutria japonica Houtt, Achyranthes Bidentata, Sanguisorba officinalis L., Semen Ziziphi Spinosae, Herba Ecliptae, blueberry, immature bitter orange, submature bitter orange, Prunus mume Var, Hovenia acerba Lindl., Fructus Mori, Pomegranate Rind, white paeony root, Rosa laevigata Michx., Portulaca oleracea L, Terminalia chebula Retz, Rhus chinensis Mill. Their alkaline extractions showed inhibition to activities of tyrosinase to different degrees except Herba Ecliptae. Of them, the highest inhibition rate (88.49% ± 9.98%) was got by dark plum fruit at 25 g/L, while the lowest inhibition rate (11.22% ± 3.36%) was got by immature bitter orange at 6.25 g/L. Their alcohol extractions showed inhibition to activities of tyrosinase to different degrees except Herba Ecliptae. Of them, the highest inhibition rate (75.92% ± 5.57%) was got by Hovenia acerba Lindl. at 25 g/L, while the lowest inhibition rate (9.60% ± 1.15%) was got by submature bitter orange at 6.25 g/L. Their water extractions all had inhibition on activities of tyrosinase. Of them, the highest inhibition rate (54.23% ± 3.56%) was got by Fructus Mori at 25 g/L, while the lowest inhibition rate (10.25% ± 1.83%) was got by Semen Ziziphi Spinosae at 6.25 g/L. Compared with 1 mmol/L arbutin water solution, alkaline extractions of dark plum fruit, Schisandra Chinensis, Rhus chinensis Mill., Rosa laevigata Michx., blueberry, Chaenomeles sinensis Koehne, Portulaca oleracea L, Fructus Mori, Achyranthes Bidentata, Pomegranate Rind; alcohol extractions of dark plum fruit, Rhus chinensis Mill., Pomegranate Rind, Hovenia acerba Lindl., Crataegus pinnatifida, Achyranthes Bidentata; water extractions of Chaenomeles sinensis Koehne, blueberry, and Fructus Mori at 25 g/L got obviously higher inhibition rates (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with 0.5 mmol/L arbutin water solution, alcohol extraction of Chaenomeles sinensis Koehne and alcohol extraction of dark plum fruit at 12.5 g/L got obviously higher inhibition rates (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONChinese herbs of acid taste could inhibit melanin synthesis, and its mechanism was related to inhibiting activities of tyrosinase.

Objective To investigate whether liraglutide treatment can prevent catch-up fat in high-fat dietinduced catch-up growth rats,and to discuss the possible underlying mechanisms.Methods Sixty-four SpragueDawley rats were stratified into 4 groups:normal control group,catch-up growth (CUG) group,catch-up growth with liraglutide treatment (CUGL) group,and catch-up growth with liraglutide plus exendin (9-39) treatment (CUGLE) group.All the catch-up growth animals underwent a4 week high-fat diet re-feeding phase after a4 week food restriction phase.Body weight and food intake were measured every day.At the end of food restriction and re-feeding,body composition was measured via Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.After the rats were sacrificed,body fat distribution and plasma lipid levels were determined.Results By the end of catch-up growth,body weight,energy intake,Lee' s index,fat body mass,visceral adipose tissue/body weight,subcutaneous adipose tissue/body weight,triglyceride,free fatty acid,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were lower in CUGL rats compared with CUG rats (all P<0.01).There were no significant differences in energy intake,body composition,fat body mass,and blood lipid levels between CUGLE rats and CUG rats,while the weight of CUGLE rats was significantly lower than CUG ones.Conclusions Liraglutide infusion protects rats with high-fat diet induced catch-up growth from catch-up fat mainly via a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor dependent manner.
