Objective To study the development of self-concept and parental rearing style in primary and secondary school students and the relationship between them.Methods A stratified cluster sample of 319 students from fourth grade in primary school to first grade in high school,9～16 years of age,were investigated with the Piers-Harris Children's self-concept Scale (PHCSS) and the EMBU.Results Inter-grade differences existed in the total score of self-concept and its subscales except popularity (F=2.170～4.288,P＜0.05),as well as in the most factors of parenting except father's intrusiveness,father's overprotection,mother's intrusiveness and overprotection,and mother's punishment (F=2.449～7.596,P＜0.05),with the maxima of self-concept (total score 61.05±9.00,behavior 13.85±1.94,intellect status 11.48±3.10,physical appearance 8.33±2.50,lack of anxiety 10.13±2.39,happiness 8.38±1.23) and the minima of father's punishment and rejection and mother's rejection (15.08±2.80,7.33±2.23,10.43±3.26) both in the sixth grade pupils (P＜0.05).Parental emotional warmth was positively correlated to self-concept (r=0.188～0.389),while parental punishment and mother's rejection was negatively correlated to (r=-0.112～-0.540),and father's rejection was also negatively correlated to (r=-0.160～-0.420) except physical appearance.All of these correlations were significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Self-concept of primary and secondary school students and parental rearing style interact with each other,and develop curvily with children's growing.

Objective To investigate the emergency treatment measures of spontaneous frontotemporal intracerebral hematoma.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the rescue process and surgical experiences of 27 patients with spontaneous frontotemporal intracerebral hematoma combined with subarachnoid hemorrhage or ventricular hemorrhage.Twenty-three cases underwent surgery;4 cases with cerebral hernia under general anesthesia underwent craniotomy hematoma clearance,aneurysm clip and decompressive craniectomy;7 cases with previous history of hypertension,considered with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage,was performed with craniotomy hematoma clearance and decompressive craniectomy in the emergency under general anesthesia; 12 cases of middle cerebral artery aneurysms bleeding,chosen craniotomy hematoma clearance and aneurysm clip;4 cases found nothing by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or CT angiography (CTA),were given conservative treatment,one of them was found arteriovenous malformations after 1 month,which was treated by γ-ray.Results After the surgery,2 cases died due to severe cerebral infarction,25 cases were followed up for 6 months,according to the Glasgow outcome scale(GOS) classification:17 cases with good prognosis,7 cases with poor prognosis,1 case with vegetative state.Conclusions Cerebral hernia formation in patients with spontaneous frontotemporal intracerebral hematoma should relieve cerebral hernia and mass effect as soon as possible,early surgery to save lives.Which of them without brain hernia,after diagnosis by CTA or DSA,choice suitable treatment.Sufficient preoperative evaluation,suitable surgical timing and good microsurgical techniques can improve the prognosis.

Objective To explore the effect of intracavitary therapy on acute pulmonary embohsm.Methods Fifteen patients were selected as our subjects,who suffered acute pulmonary embolism and received percutaneous catheter thrombus crashing and catheter directed thrombolysis in Beijing Military.Region General Hospital from January 2009 to June 2011.Local injection of Urokinase was performed with a total amount of 500 000 U in catheter directed thrombolysis.After thrombolysis,low molecular Heparin was administered to patients for 7-10 days and oral administration of Warfarin was performed for 3-6 months.Clinical symptoms,improvement of physical signs,complications,changes of mean pulmonary arterial pressure(mPAP) and arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PO2),and the opening of pulmonary artery were recorded.Results The pulmonary arteries of the 12 patients were completely opened,and partially opened in 3 patients.The effective rate was 100％ (15/15).mPAP was reduced from (40.07 ±5.97) mmHg to (20.00 ±4.66) mmHg (t =-1.128,P ＜ 0.05),PO2 was increased from (50.26 ± 9.30) mmHg to (80.49 ± 9.04) mmHg (t =1.246,P ＜ 0.05).Patients were followed-up for 3-6 months and no recurrence case was seen.Conclusion The interventional therapy is effective,safe and practicable in the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism.

OBJECTIVETo investigate in situ visualization using near-infrared quantum dots (QDs) conjugated with arginine- glycine-aspartic acid (ROD) peptide fluorescent probes in oral squamous cell carcinoma (08CC).

METHODSQDs with emission wavelength of 800 nm (QD800) were conjugated with RGD peptides to produce QD800-RGD fluorescent probes. Human OSCC cell line BcaCD885 was inoculated in nude mice cheeks to establish OSCC mouse models. Frozen BcaCD885 tumor slices were immunofluorescence double stained by using QD800-RGD and CD105 monoclonal antibody and were observed using a laser scanning confocal microscope. QD800-RGD was injected into the OSCC models through the tail veins, and the in situ visualization was analyzed at different time points. The mice were sacrificed 12 h after injection to isolate tumors for the ex vivo analysis of probe localization in the tumors.

RESULTSQD800-RGD specifically targeted the integrin avβ3 expressed in the endothelial cells of tumor angiogenic vessels in vitro and in vivo, producing clear tumor fluorescence images after intravenous injection. The most complete tumor images with maximal signal-to-noise ratios were observed 0.5 h to 6 h after injection of the probe and significantly reduced 9 h after the injection. However, the tumor image was still clearly visible at 12 h.

CONCLUSIONUsing intravenously injected QD800-RGD generates high quality OSCC images when integrin avβ3, which is expressed in the endothelial cells of tumor angiogenic vessels, is used as the target. The technique offers great potential in the diagnosis and individual treatment of OSCC.

Objective To summarize the characteristics of ecthyma gangrenosum and explore its significance in early diagnosis of pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis in children.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 11 children with ecthyma gangrenosum who were hospitalized at Guangzhou women and children's medical center between May 2008 and Apr 2011.Results Eight cases were male and 7 were less than twelve months,the oldest was 2 years old,all of them were diagnosed as Pseudomonas aeruginosa spesis.Two patients had a single lesion,and the others had multiple lesions.Ecthyma gangrenosum located on the trunks in 7 cases,on anogenital areas in 5 cases,on extremities in 5 cases and on faces in 3.The lesions appeared on day 2 to day 10.On average,they developed on day 5.Seven patients developed ecthyma gangrenosum before admission,the course of the illness before admission was 6 days.Fever and multiple organ dysfunction occurred in all the patients and their cultures grew pseudomonas aeruginosa,blood cultures were positive in 8 cases,the others were isolated psudomonas aeruginosa from tissue of the lesion,discharge,ascites,pleural effusion,respectively.The time of ecthyma gangrenosum appeared was earlier than the time of the culture results reported.All of the patients were started empiric antibiotics therapy on admission,the initial antibiotic regimen was appropriate in 9 patients,8 needed surgical intervention,4 were treated with continuous blood purification.Ten patients survived and 2 died,the hospital stay was from 1 to 63 days,the average was 30.Conclusion Ecthyma gangrenosum is a known cutaneous manifestation of pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis,which is helpful for early diagnosis and treatment,and then the outcome will be improved.

Objective To explore effect of decreasing blood lipid by mappianthus iodoies flavone in rats model.Methods We selected sixty healthy male SD rats,which were randomly divided into six groups:normal control group (NC),model control group (MC),simvastatin group positive control group (PC),low dose group of mappianthus iodoies flavonoids (MIF1 group),middle dose group of mappianthus iodoies flavonoids (MIF2 group),high dose group of mappianthus iodoies flavonoids (MIF3 group).After 6 weeks,absolute diet 12 h,the rats of blood samples were drawn from orbit and it was collected to detect serum total cholesterol (TC),serum triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).After 12 weeks,absolute diet 12 h,get blood from heart,serum,centrifugal separation measure serum SOD,MDA content,test the content of T-AOC.Results Mappianthus iodoies flavonoids can decrease the level of TG,TC,LDL-C,MDA and improve HDL-C,SOD and T-AOC in lipid of lipidemia rats.Especially compared with the NC group,the level of TG,TC,LDL-C,MDA in MC group were in creased,and HDL-C,SOD,T-AOC level were decreased in rats fed high fat diet(P＜0.05),meanwhile the levels of TC,TG and LDL C in the treatment groups were decreased,and HDL-C levels were increased(P＜0.05);MIF group,which are compared with MC,the level of TC,TG,LDL-C and MDA weresignificantly decreased and the level of HDL-C,SOD,T-AOCwere increased significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion Mappianthus iodoies flavone may improve the level of SOD,T-AOC and decrease the level of MDA to decrease lipid.

Objective To evaluate the effect of curcumin pretreatment on c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway during one-lung ventilation (OLV)-induced acute lung injury in mice.Methods Ninety SPF male C57BL/6J mice,aged 6-9 weeks,weighing 18-24 g,were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=15 each) using a random number table:two-lung ventilation (TLV) group;OLV group;curcumin 100,150,200 and 250 mg/kg groups (C100,C150,C200 and C250 groups).The corresponding doses of curcumin were administered intraperitoneally at 2 h before one-lung ventilation in C100,C150,C200 and C250 groups.The animals were tracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated in volume-controlled mode.The ventilator settings were adjusted to maintain the end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide at 35-45 mmHg.In OLV,C100,C150,C200 and C250 groups,unilateral lung was ventilated for 1.5 h followed by 0.5 h of TLV.Bilateral lungs were ventilated for 2.0 h in group TLV.Peak airway pressure and airway pressure were recorded at 1.5 h of OLV and 0.5 h of TLV.At the end of mechanical ventilation,left lungs were removed for microscopic examination of the pathologic changes,and the index of quantitative assessment for alveolar damage (IQA) was recorded.Wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) was determined,and the cell apoptosis in lung tissues was detected using TUNEL.The apoptosis index (AI) was calculated.The expression of JNK mRNA was determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction.The expression of JNK and phosphorylated JNK was determined by Western blot.The phosphorylation of JNK was calculated.Results Compared with group TLV,the IQA,W/D ratio,AI,expression of JNK mRNA and phosphorylation of JNK were significantly increased in group OLV (P＜0.05).Compared with group OLV,the IQA,W/D ratio,AI,expression ofJNK mRNA and phosphorylation of JNK were significantly decreased in C150,C200 and C250 groups,the parameters mentioned above were significantly decreased in sequence in C100,C150,C200 and C250 groups (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group C100 (P＞ 0.05).Compared with group OLV,the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in sequence in C150,C200 and C250 groups.Conclusion The mechanism by which curcumin pretreatment reduces cell apoptosis during OLV-induced acute lung injury is related to inhibition of JNK signaling pathway activation in mice.

Objective Mechanisms of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation remain controversy.This study aimed to investigate the impact of PVI on vagal modulation to atria.Methods Eighteen adult mongrel dogs under general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups.Bilateral cervical sympathovagal trunks were decentralized and sympathetic effects was blocked by metoprolol administration.Atrial electrical remodeling (AER) was established by rapid right atrial pacing at the rate of 600 bpm for 30 minutes.PVI was performed in group A.Atrial effective refractory period (ERP),vulnerability window (VW) of atrial fibrillation,and sinus rhythm cycle length (SCL) were measured at baseline and during vagal stimulation before and after atrial rapid pacing with and without PVI at fight atrial appendage (RAA),left atrial appendage (LAA),distal coronary sinus (CSd) and proximal coronary sinus (CSp).Results (1) Effects of PVI on vagal modulation:Shortening of SCL during vagal stimulation decreased significantly after PVI compared with that before PVI in group A (P＜0.001).Shortening of ERP during vagal stimulation decreaseed significantly after PVI compared with that before PVI (P＜0.05).VW of atrial fibrillation during vagal stimulation decreased significantly after PVI compared with that before PVI (P＜0.05).(2) Effects of PVI on AER:shortening of ERP before and after atrial rapid pacing increased significantly at baseline and vagal stimulation in group B compared with that in group A (P＜0.05).VW during vagal stimulation increased significantly after atrial rapid pacing in group B (P＜0.05).Conclusion PVI attenuates the vagal modulation to the atria,thereby decreases the susceptibility to atrial fibrillation mediated by vagal activity.PVI releases AER,which maybe contributes to the vagal denervation.Our study indicates that PVI not only can eradicate triggered foci but also modify substrates for AF.(J Geriatr Cardiol 2008;5:28-32)

ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristic of the T peak-end interval (Tpe) in dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) patients with heart failure and its significance in evaluation of global dispersion of ventricular repolarization.MethodsFifty-three inpatients were enrolled in this study,which included 28patients with DCM and heart failure (DCM group),and 25 patients with supraventricular tachycardia and without structural heart disease (control group).The Tpe and the dispersion of QT interval (QTd) from the 12-lead surface electrocardiogram(ECG) were acquired and measured,and consequently the corrected numerals of the average of Tpe (Tpe-AVEC),the maximal Tpe (Tpe-MAXC) were acquired.ResultsThe levels of Tpe-AVEC,Tpe-MAXC and QTd in DCM group were significantly higher than those in control group [ ( 106.31 ±26.34) ms vs.(82.72 ± 10.01 ) ms,(234.05 ± 69.75) ms vs.( 119.15 ± 11.55 ) ms,( 119.17 ± 67.62) ms vs.( 39.74 ± 17.04 ) ms ] ( P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsThe global dispersion of ventricular repolarization is significantly increased in patients with DCM and heart failure.The Tpe-AVEC and Tpe-MAxc are recommended to be used for evaluating the dispersion of ventricular repolarization as the prognostic index in patients with DCM and heart failure.

Objective To study the effect of plant Coleus forskohlii active elements Isoforskolin(ISOF)and CT-E(analogs mixture of Isoforskolin)on human neutrophill(PMN)in vitro in order to uncover the mechanism of their properties of mitigating acute lung injury(ALI).Method The effects of ISOF and CF-E on PMN aggregation induced by N-formyl-methiony-leucyl-phenylalanine(fMLP)was performed by using a 4-channel platelet aggregometer.Cytometry Was applied to analyze the effect of tested samples on adhension between PMN and endothelial cells(ECV-304)activated by using lipopolysaccharides(LPS).Expression of LPS-induced PMN adhension molecules was determined with flow cytometry.Radioimmunoassay Was applied to detect the level of TNT-α liberated bv PMN and intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)level of PMN.Results It was found that ISOF(25,50,100 μmnol/L)and CF-E(1.25,2.5,5 mg/ml)inhibitted PMN aggregation induced by fMLP,PMN adhemion to ECV-304 indeed by LPS,expression of PMN adhesion molecules,and TNF-α level released by PMN.ISOF and CF-E also increased intracellular cAMP level of PMN.Condusions ISOF and CF-E inhibit PMN aggregation,adhension and adhension molecules,and TNF-α released by PMN,while they increase intracellular cAniP level of PMN.It suggests that their specific alleviating the ALI by the mechanism of the modulation of PMN function.
