Objective To investigate the graduate students' mental pressure after the full im-plementation of the charging system and explore effective countermeasures of alleviating the psycho-logical pressure. Methods 413 full-time graduate students of Grade 2014 were randomly selected in a university of Shandong province. The graduate students' psychological pressure scale and self-designed questionnaire survey were used. The data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 software, statistical descrip-tion of the survey data, independent sample t test, ANOVA. Results ①The psychological pressure of full-time graduate students at their own expense was in themedium pressure level; ②The economic pressure and academic pressure of the male graduate students were higher than those of the female graduate students (P=0.000,P=0.042), the rural economic pressures were greater than urban students graduate students graduate students (P=0.000); Professional graduate economic pressures were greater than academic graduate students (P=0.027);There is difference in the pressure of interpersonal commu-nication among different majors (P=0.016); ③78.75% (315/400) of the graduate students tuition fees, living expenses were mainly from their parents and the national and school awards; ④The percentage of those who completely agreed with the following view: full charge than at public expense is more advantageous to graduate education, comprehensive charge is advantageous to the education career development and comprehensive charge embodies the fairness of education was 84.75% (339/400), 71.25% (285/400) and 68.00% (272/400). Conclusion The full-time graduate students at their own expense have a more rational understanding of the charging policy; economic and academic pressures are the two outstanding pressure sources of the graduate students at the present stage. Graduate should improve their ability to cope with stress, and government and schools should take various measures to help students relieve stress.

Objective:To investigate the present situation of unintended pregnancy within two years postpartum and its influencing factors in China.Methods:Participants who delivered a live birth at 60 hospitals in 15 provinces in the eastern, central and western regions of China during July 2015 to June 2016 were interviewed by using structured questionnaire. Information on occurrence of unintended pregnancy within 2 years after delivery, postpartum contraceptive use, sexual resumption, breastfeeding, and women′s socio-demographic characteristics, and so on, were collected. Life-table analysis, cluster log-rank tests and a 2-level Cox regression model were used for data analysis.Results:A total of 18 045 postpartum women were investigated. The cumulative 1- and 2-year unintended pregnancy rates after delivery were 5.3% (95% CI: 4.5%-6.1%) and 13.1% (95% CI: 11.3%-14.8%), respectively. Cox regression model analysis showed that the risk of unintended pregnancy within 2 years postpartum were increased in younger women, ethnic minorities, women with abortion history, and those who had a vaginal delivery with short lactation time and late postpartum contraceptive initiation (all P<0.01). The risk of postpartum unintended pregnancy was not associated with geographic regions and hospitals where women gave a birth (all P>0.05). Conclusions:In China, the risk of unintended pregnancy within 2 years after delivery is relatively high. Service institutions and service providers should improve the quality of postpartum family planning services, promote the use of high effect contraceptive methods, and educate women to use a method at the time of their sexual resumption or even before.

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic liver inflammation, with a gradually increasing incidence rate, and its social and medical burdens cannot be neglected. Intestinal microecology is becoming a research hotspot in the field of autoimmune disease. In recent years, it has been believed that changes in intestinal microecology can cause changes in autoimmune state, microbial metabolites, and intestinal barrier, which is one of the driving factors for the onset of AIH. Early diagnosis and correct treatment can help to improve the prognosis of AIH patients. This article introduces the characteristics of gut microbiota in AIH patients, elaborates on the impact of intestinal microflora imbalance on the pathogenesis of AIH, and briefly describes related treatment regimens from the perspective of intestinal microecology, so as to comprehensively understand and explain the role of intestinal microecology in AIH and the impact of intestinal microecology balance on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of AIH.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of the protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)/eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) pathway in endoplasmic reticulum stress on the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC). MethodsPathological sections of normal liver tissue after surgery were collected from 11 patients with hepatic fibrosis (S1-S4) and 9 patients with hepatic hemangioma and hepatic adenoma confirmed by liver biopsy, and immunohistochemistry was used to measure the protein expression levels of PERK, eIF2α, and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). Human HSC-LX2 cells were treated with different concentrations of the endoplasmic reticulum stress inducer thapsigargin (0, 125, 250, 500, and 1 000 nmol/L), and qRT-PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression level of PERK, while Western blot was used to measure the protein expression levels of PERK, inositol requiring protein 1 (IRE1), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), CHOP, and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). The method of lentivirus transfection was used to construct a PERK stable overexpression LX-2 group and a control group; qRT-PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of PERK, eIF2α, and α-SMA, Western blot was used to measure the protein expression levels of PERK, phosphorylated eIF2α (p-eIF2α), and α-SMA, and immunofluorescence assay was used to measure the expression of collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1). The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups; a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. ResultsCompared with normal liver tissue, the liver tissue of patients with hepatic fibrosis had significantly higher expression levels of PERK, eIF2α, and CHOP (Z=-3.56, t=-5.75, Z=-3.52, all P<0.001). Compared with the solvent group, the groups treated with different concentrations of thapsigargin had significant increases in the expression levels of the endoplasmic reticulum-associated proteins PERK, CHOP, IRE1, ATF6, and α-SMA (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the PERK stable overexpression group had significant increases in the mRNA expression levels of PERK, eIF2α, and α-SMA and the protein expression levels of PERK, p-eIF2α, and α-SMA (all P<0.05), and immunofluorescence assay showed a significant increase in the expression level of COL1A1 in the PERK stable overexpression group (P<0.05). ConclusionPERK overexpression can induce the expression of α-SMA and COL1A1 in LX-2 cells, suggesting that the PERK signaling pathway might be one of the important mechanisms of HSC activation.
