To analyse the familial aggregation and genetic predisposition of Shen-yin deficiency syndrome (SYDS) in families with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). Methods One hundred and forty-one DM2 patients were collected from 32 family lines in Nanjin area, in which the probands were differentiated as DM2 with SYDS. On them, genetic analysis on the characteristics of SYDS was conducted using pedigree analysis, morbidity and heritability of the first-degree relatives of the probands were calculated, and the action of familial SYDS factor on the genesis of the syndrome was assessed by multiple factors regression analysis. Results The morbidity rate of SYDS in the first-degree relatives of the probands was 33.71%, and the heritability, calculated by Falconer formula, was 80.6%. The fitting result of regression analysis showed that familial factor played an important role in SYDS genesis (OR = 5.61, P = 0.001), but DM2 itself is not an independent risk factor for it. Conclusion DM2 with SYDS shows the tendency of familial aggregation and genetic predisposition, genetic factor is associated with the genesis of the syndrome. Pedigree research is a good method for exploring the relationship between syndrome and genetic factor.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is considered to be a malignancy that is intrinsically resistant to methotrexate (MTX). As compared to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) blasts, AML blasts, except those of acute monocytic leukemia (AML-M(5)), form fewer amounts of long chain polyglutamate of MTX (MTXPG), when incubated with MTX, thus providing an explanation for their lack of responsiveness to MTX. To explore the novel approach of treatment in patients with AML-M(5), the U937 cell line, which has the monocytic characters, was used. Cell growth inhibition was mearsured by XTT assay after 24 and 48 hours in the continuous presence of various concentrations of MTX ranging from 1 nmol/L to 100 micro mol/L. After 24 hours MTX treatment, the IC(50) value for U937 cells was 0.04 micro mol/L. After 48 hours treatment, the IC(50) was 0.037 micro mol/L and IC(90) was 0.39 micro mol/L. To understand the mechanism of MTX cytotoxicity, the process of cell death was analyzed. A variety of assays, including trypan blue exclusion, flow cytometry, light microscopy (Wright's staining) and DNA fragment electrophoresis, were performed. There were no significant apoptotie changes after shorter exposure of MTX (4 and 6 hours). After 8 hours at various concentrations of MTX treatment ranging from 5 nmol/L to 10 micro mol/L, the percentage of the cells in the pre-G(1) (apoptotic) was 3.2% at 0.1 micro mol/L and it reached a peak of 18.2% at 5.0 micro mol/L. The DNA synthesis in S-phase was inhibited from 41.2% (0.01 micro mol/L) to 19.1% (10 micro mol/L). DNA ladder band, a feature of apoptosis, was observed. The arrest of cell growth and apoptotic properties induced by MTX have lead to its evaluation as a potentially therapeutic agent in the treatment of AML-M(5).

Objective To understand the status quo of stressors and mental health of undergradu-ates of local medical colleges in internship and provide relevant countermeasures so as to provide scientific reference for psychological health counseling for them. Methods The stress source scale and mental health symptom self-rating scale for medical students in internship (SCL-90) coded by Chang Lirong et al was adopted to investigate. The questionnaire survey was conducted on the stress and mental health status of 390 interns in Binzhou Medical College, and 384 valid questionnaires were collected, with the effective rate of recovery as 98.46%. The questionnaire results were analyzed by sample t test, variance analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. Results A total of 24.1% of students in local medical schools were under moderate pressure (1.17±0.63). The highest pressure source was examination and employment (1.58±0.74), and the other followed were knowledge and skills (1.43 ±0.68), interpersonal relationships (1.11 ±0.54), patients (1.06±0.53), medical conditions (1.00±0.53) and work load (0.95±0.52) respectively. The scores of various stressors were significantly and positively correlated with most of the mental health factors. Conclusion The undergraduates of local medical colleges and universities are generally under stress in internship, which would affect their mental health. It is suggested that the interns should be guided from the aspects of employment, study and psychology so as to help them relieve their stress and develop good psychological qualities.

Objective:To understand the current situation of smartphone addiction and mental health of medical freshmen, and conduct research on the relationship between smartphone addiction and mental health, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and intervention of smartphone addiction among medical freshmen.Methods:A stratified random sampling method was used to select 279 freshmen in the medical profession of Binzhou Medical University as the research objects, and the revised smartphone addiction scale (SAS-C) and mental health symptom self-rating checklist scale (SCL-90) were selected for testing. SPSS 19.0 was used for t test. Results:A percentage of 29.71 medical freshmen had smartphone addiction problems, which was generally above average. The SCL-90 total scores and the scores of somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, psychosis and other factors in the smartphone addiction group were significantly higher than those in non-smartphone addiction group. The total score of smartphone addiction in medical professional freshmen was significantly correlated with the total score of SCL-90. In addition to the interference factors of daily life, other factors had positive correlation with various factors of SCL-90. Interpersonal sensitivity and obsessive-compulsive symptoms had a significant predictive effect on smartphone addiction (β=0.24, 0.26, P < 0.01), which were important variables affecting mobile phone addiction of medical freshmen. Conclusion:Many medical freshmen have the problem of smartphone addiction, which may cause a series of psychological problems, especially obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety and psychosis.
