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.

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 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.
