Objective To explore the measures for nursing patients with acute hepatic graft versus host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Method The clinical data of 54 patients with aGVHD after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation during January 2010 and December 2013 were reviewed for summing up the nursing measures. Results In the study, 160 patients underwent allogeneic-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and 53 of them contracted with acute hepatic-versus-host disease. Among them, 2 cases were at degreeⅣ, 10 at degreeⅢ, 23 at degreeⅡand 19 at degreeⅠ. Forty-seven cases(87.01%) were cured after careful treatment and care , 3 ( 5 . 56%) developed into cGVHD and 4 ( 7 . 41%) died . Conclusion Enhanced observation and postoperative nursing of liver, intestine and skin together with performance of mental care and dietary nursing are effective in achieving satisfactory outcomes of GVHD.

Three bacteria of decomposing lecithin and 4 bacteria of dissolving aptite were incubated for 4 weeks with sand media respectively. Phosphorus in the sand was extracted with distilled water and measured by different methods. It was found that the bacteria have a quite different ability to release P from the materials. Part of the P released became organic phosphorus compounds in microbial tissue. However, a large amount of the P was reserved in microbial cells in a form of phosphates. The direct measurement of P in the extract by molybdenum blue method would underestimate the capacity of the bacteria to release P from the materials. The correct approach was that the sand was fumigated with chloroform and then digested with acid before the measurement by molybdenum blue method.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of gastrointestinal graft versus host disease(GVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Method 214 patients receiving allo-HSCT from 2003 to 2012 were enrolled in this study,and assessed on the degree of gastrointestinal GVHD.The effects of the primary diseases status,gender,age,conditioning regimen intensity,donor type,the number of cells positive for the CD34 expression,and the use of anti-lymphocyte immunoglobulin (ALG) in the pretreatment scheme on the occurrence of gastrointestinal GVHD was studied.The responses of different degrees of GVHD to immunotherapy were evaluated.Result Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the graft type and the conditioning regimen intensity were the risk factors of gastrointestinal GVHD (P＜0.05).Conclusion Donor type and conditioningregimen intensity may be the main risk factors of gastrointestinal GVHD.

Objective To compare cognitive function and alexithymia between the schizophrenic patients treated with chlorpromazine and those treated with clozapine. Methods The patients with schizophrenia in stable condition that received maintenance treatment either with chlorpromazine or clozapine and normal control subjects were recruited (n=24 per group). Neuropsychological tests, including Digit Vigilance Test, Controlled Oral Word Association Test, Trail Making Test-A&B (TMT-A&B), Animal Naming Test, Stroop Color-Word Test, Block Design and Spatial Span Test were used to assess the participant’s cognitive function. The twenty-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) were used to evaluate the participant’s alexithymia. Results The significant differences were found between the patients and the controls in all items of cognitive function and all factor scores of TAS-20 (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in all items of cognitive function and all factor scores of TAS-20 between chlorpromazine group and clozapine group (P>0.05). Multivari? ate linear regression analysis showed that in the clozapine group, attention function associated with the total score of TAS (β=-0.20, P<0.05), executive function associated with TAS factor 1 (β=-0.26, P=0.03), spatial function associated with TAS factor 2 (β=-0.24, P<0.01). In the chlorpromazine group, attention function associated with TAS factor 2 (β=-1.24, P<0.01), executive function associated with TAS factor 2 (β=-0.33, P=0.02). Conclusions Patients with schizophrenia in maintenance period have widely cognitive impairment and alexithymia, both of which are related to each other.

To explore the mediating role of psychological resilience to childhood abuse and binge eating. This study assessed the childhood abuse, binge eating and psychological resilience of 3 453 middle school students in Harbin city, Heilongjiang Province. SPSS PROCESS macro program, combined with Bootstrap method, was employed to explore the mediating effect of psychological resilience. The incidence of middle school students experiencing at least one type of abuse in their childhood was 81.3% (2 807/3 453). Childhood abuse, psychological resilience and binge eating were all significantly different in terms of gender, household registration and whether they were only child (all P values<0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between childhood abuse and binge eating. Psychological resilience was negatively associated with childhood abuse and binge eating. Childhood abuse could not only directly predict the binge eating behavior of adolescents, but also could indirectly affect it via psychological resilience.

Objective: To understand current situation and relations of childhood abuse and psychological capital, providing scientific basis for adolescent mental health promotion. Methods: Stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 1 894 students from junior high schools and senior high schools in Harbin. Questionnaire survey was conducted by using Childhood Trauma QuestionnaireShort Form (CTQ-SF) and Positive Psychological Capital (PPQ). Results: The total rate of childhood abuse among adolescents in the region was 98.3%. In addition to emotional abuse, scores of other dimensions of childhood abuse were higher for boys than for girls(P<0.01). Childhood abuse in rural area was higher than those in urban area except physical abuse(P<0.05). High psychological capital was observed among participants with boys higher in selfefficacy and resilience than that of girls(P<0.05). Psychological capital in urban students was higher than rural students(P<0.05). Except for the negative correlation between sexual abuse and resilience, all other dimensions of childhood abuse were negatively correlated with four dimensions of psychological capital. Stepwise regression analysis showed that emotional abuse, emotional neglect and physical neglect was negatively correlated with all dimensions of psychological capital(P<0.01); Sexual abuse showed negative association with selfefficacy and optimism(P<0.01). Conclusion Childhood abuse is closely related to psychological capital among adolescents in Harbin, suggesting exposure to childhood abuse might confer detrimental effects on psychological capital development.

Proteases are widely found in organisms participating in the decomposition of proteins to maintain the organisms' normal life activities. Protease inhibitors regulate the activities of target proteases by binding to their active sites, thereby affecting protein metabolism. The key amino acid mutations in proteases and protease inhibitors can affect their physiological functions, stability, catalytic activity, and inhibition specificity. More active, stable, specific, environmentally friendly and cheap proteases and protease inhibitors might be obtained by excavating various natural mutants of proteases and protease inhibitors, analyzing their key active sites by using protein engineering methods. Here, we review the studies on proteases' key active sites and protease inhibitors to deepen the understanding of the active mechanism of proteases and their inhibitors.

Objective This study examined the prevalence of underweight and its related risk factors of community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia. Methods Five hundred and three community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia and 323 healthy controls were recruited in a cross-sectional study. Body mass index less than 18.5 was defined as underweight. Their demographic and clinical data including anthropometric data, plasma glucose and lipid parameters were collected. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess patients' psychopathology. Results The prevalence of underweight was 9.9% (50/503) in schizophrenia patients versus 1.5% (5/323) in the control group ( P<0.01). Further logistic regression analysis showed that male ( OR=2.43, 95%CI:1.74~3.39), smoking behavior (OR=1.50, 95%CI: 1.21~1.86), hospitalization times (OR=1.18, 95% CI: 1.06~1.31), PANSS negative score (OR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.04~1.14) were significant predictors for underweight (all P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of underweight is higher in Chinese patients with schizophrenia than in the general population. Some demographic and clinical variables are risk factors for underweight in schizophrenia.
