Objective To explore the causal relationship between family resilience and mental health in military personnel population.Methods A total of 204 military personnel were recruited from an army unit stationed in Western China with cluster convenience sampling.Family Resilience Scale(FRS)and Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90)were used to survey them twice,in an interval of 4 months.Amos 26.0 was applied to construct a cross-lag model and analyze the data.Results After controlling mental symptoms from the first survey,family resilience in the first measure significantly predicted mental symptoms in the second measure(β=-0.14,P＜0.05).After controlling for family resilience from the first survey,mental symptoms in the first measure significantly predicted family resilience in the second measure(β=-0.13,P＜0.05).Conclusion The relationship between family resilience and mental health is mutually causal in military personnel,and one predicts the other one.Our findings highlight the key dimensions of the relationship between the two.

Objective·To compare the prognostic effects of radical resection of esophageal cancer,concurrent chemoradiotherapy and simple follow-up observation on the prognosis of patients with T1b invasion of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD).Methods·From May 2016 to May 2021,the clinical data of 67 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who were pathologically confirmed as pT1b after ESD and treated in Shanghai Chest Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.According to the additional treatment after ESD,the patients were divided into additional surgery group(S group),chemoradio-therapy group(CRT group)and observation group(O group).χ2 test was used to compare the clinical baseline data and pathological information of the three groups of patients.The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and log-rank test were used to compare the disease free survival(DFS)and recurrence free survival(RFS)of the three groups of patients,and the Cox proportional hazards regression model was used on DFS and RFS by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results·Among all 67 patients,there were 23 cases in the S group,19 cases in the CRT group,and 25 cases in the O group.There was no significant difference in age(P=0.080),gender(P=0.078),tumor length(P=0.485),tumor location(P=0.655),lesion circumferential ratio(P= 0.310),histological grading(P=0.084),depth of tumor invasion(P=0.066)and lymphovascular invasion(P=0.279)among the three groups.During(42.6±16.7)months of follow-up,tumor recurrence was observed in 10 cases(14.9%),including 6 patients(60%)with local recurrence,2 patients(20%)with regional lymph recurrence and 2 patients(20%)with distant metastasis.The median recurrence time of group S,group CRT,and group O was 40.1,36.6,and 22.1 months,and the 3-year DFSs were 100%,89.5%,and 74.5%(P-trend=0.040).Multivariate Cox analysis showed that additional esophagectomy was the key to improving independent protective factors of RFS(HR=0.097,95%CI 0.010?0.956,P=0.046).Conclusion·For patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma confirmed as pT1b after ESD,additional surgery can significantly reduce the possibility of long-term recurrence.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of hydrocortisone combined with vitamin C and vitamin B1 on the efficacy of patients with sepsis or septic shock.Methods:Databases including CNKI, Sino Med, VIP, Wanfang, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase were searched from inception to January 2021 for the randomized controlled trial (RCT) about hydrocortisone combined with vitamin C and vitamin B1 to treat sepsis or septic shock. The experimental group was given intravenous injection of hydrocortisone, vitamin B1 and vitamin C based on conventional treatment; the control group was given conventional treatment or placebo/hydrocortisone/hydrocortisone+vitamin B1 based on conventional treatment. Outcome indicators included sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), mortality, the duration of vasoactive drugs, new acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU) and in hospital. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies. RevMan 5.3 software was then used to perform Meta-analysis. Funnel plot was used to test publication bias.Results:A total of 6 articles involving 816 patients were included, with 411 patients in the experimental group and 405 patients in the control group. The Meta-analysis results showed that the duration of vasoactive drugs in the experimental group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [mean difference ( MD) = -24.02, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was -32.36 to -15.68, P < 0.000 01]. However, there were no significant differences in SOFA, mortality, new AKI patients, the length of ICU stay and hospital stay between the two groups [SOFA: MD = -0.14, 95% CI was -1.15 to 0.87, P = 0.79; mortality: relative risk ( RR) = 0.99, 95% CI was 0.81 to 1.21, P = 0.92; new AKI patients: RR = 1.10, 95% CI was 0.42 to 2.87, P = 0.84; length of ICU stay: MD = 1.33, 95% CI was -2.22 to 4.89, P = 0.46; length of hospital stay: MD = 1.02, 95% CI was -0.66 to 2.69, P = 0.23]. The funnel plot showed that most of the points were symmetrical and showed an inverted funnel shape, suggesting that the publication bias among the studies was small. There was no significant publication bias on this Meta-analysis. Conclusions:Hydrocortisone combined with vitamin C and vitamin B1 can shorten the duration of vasoactive drugs in patients with sepsis or septic shock, but it cannot effectively reduce the SOFA score, mortality, new AKI patients, length of stay in ICU and in hospital. Limited by the number and quality of the included studies, further large-scale, multi-center, blinded, RCT are still needed for verification.

Objective:To study the early effect of arthroscopy in the treatment of obsolete traumatic subscapularis tears.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyze the clinical data of 28 patients with obsolete traumatic subscapularis tears admitted to Second People 's Hospital of Changzhou City from July 2017 to July 2020，including 16 males and 12 females，aged 47-72 years［（60.5±6.3）years］. According to Lafosse classification，the injury size was upper one third tear in 9 patients，upper half tear in 18 and complete tear in 1. According to Patte classification of the degree of retraction，4 patients were with no retraction，7 with retraction to the level of the lesser tuberosity，14 with retraction to the level of the humeral head，and 3 with retraction to the level of the glenoid. According to Goutallier classification，the level of fatty infiltration was at grade 0-1 in 17 patients，at grade 2 in 10 and at grade 3-4 in 1. All patients were repaired by arthroscopic surgery. The wound healing was observed at 2 weeks postoperatively. The visual analogue score（VAS），University of California at Los Angeles（UCLA）shoulder rating score，shoulder active forward elevation（AFE），active external rotation（AER），active internal rotation（AIR）were assessed before operation and at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. Six months after operation，reexamination of the front and side view of the shoulder and MRI of the shoulder were performed to assess the recovery of the subscapular tendon. Results:All patients were followed up for 6-12 months［（8.7±1.3）months］. All wounds healed 2 weeks after operation，with no infection occurred. The VAS was（3.5±0.7）points and（2.6±0.5）points at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively，lower than（6.3±1.2）points before operation（ P<0.01）. The UCLA score was（20.4±2.5）points and（25.6±6.2）points at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively，higher than（9.5±1.7）points before operation（ P<0.01）. The preoperative range of motion of the affected shoulder in AFE，AER and AIR was（80.2±12.6）°，（52.5±7.6）°，（3.7±1.2）°，respectively. Three months after operation，the range of motion was（113.2±7.5）°，（60.1±6.3）°，（6.8±1.6）°，respectively. Six months after operation，the range of motion was（122.3±15.2）°，（65.6±10.5）°，（7.8±2.3）°，respectively. The range of motion of the affected shoulder at 3 months and 6 months postoperativley was better than that before operation（ P<0.01）. Six months after operation，MRI showed good recovery in 27 patients，while a small re-tear in 1 patient（Goutallier classification grade 3）. Conclusion:For patients with obsolete traumatic subscapularis tears，arthroscopic repair can significantly relieve the pain，and recover range of motion and function of the joint.

Objective To investigate the effects of metformin and exaliplatin on proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. The antitumor effects of metformin combined with exaliplatin on gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 were compared. Methods SGC-7901 cells were cultured in vitro. The proliferation inhibition rate of cancer cell after treatment with various concentrations of metformin(5.0,10.0,15.0 mmol/L)、exaliplatin(2.5,5.0,10.0 μmol/L)or 15.0 mmol/L metformin combined with 10.0 μmol/L exaliplatin was analyzed via MTT colorimetric assay at 24,48,72 h.After 24 h, the SGC-7901 cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, and the relative activity of caspase-3 and bax was detected by western blot. Results The co-administration of metformin and exaliplatin or single agent treatment could increase the proliferation inhibition rates of SGC-7901 cell in a time-and dose-dependent manner, while there was a significant higher proliferation inhibition rate in co-administration versus single-agent treatment (P < 0.05). The apoptosis rate induced by 15.0 mmol/L metformin and 10.0 μmol/L exaliplatin and combined treatment was (16.0 ± 2.1)%, (19.0 ± 2.7)%, (29.0 ± 3.5)%, higher than that in blank control group (10.0 ± 1.1)%, and there was significant difference (P <0.05). Both of metformin and exaliplatin could increase caspase-3 and Bax activity.Caspase-3 and Bax activity in the combination of metformin and exaliplatin was significantly higher than that of metformin group and exaliplatin group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Metformin combined with exaliplatin has synergistic effect in inhibiting the growth and inducing apoptosis of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.Enhancing caspase-3 and Bax expression may be the related mechanism

The graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect of T cells induced by tumor antigen-pulsed CD8α+dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro was investigated in this study.Immature CD8α+ DCs were prepared from C57BL/6 (H-2b) bone marrow cells by using a cytokine cocktail.On the 3rd day of culture,CD8α- DCs were pulsed by allogeneic (Balb/c,H-2d) EL9611 leukemia antigen,or RM-1 syngeneic prostate cancer antigen,with the concentration series of 0,2.5,5.0,10.0,20.0 μg/mL,respectively,then antigen-loaded immature CD8α+ DCs were co-cultured with syngeneic T cells according to the DC/T ratio of 1∶1,2∶1and 4∶1.T cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay.Cytokines including interferon gamma (IFN-γ)and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in CD8α+ DCs and T co-culture supernatant were detected by using ELISA.Cytotoxic effect of antigen-specific T cells was tested by LDH release assay.Conventional mature DCs　(mDCs) induced from C57BL/6 (H-2b) bone marrow cells by using granulocyte-macrophage colony　stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) served as a control.The results showed that the　proliferative activity of T cells stimulated by CD8α+ DCs loaded with allogeneic or syngeneic tumor antigen was augmented with the CD8α+ DC/T ratio increased (P＜0.05).When antigen concentration ≤ 5μg/mL and CD8α+ DC/T ratio ≤ 2∶1,the ability of CD8α+ DCs to stimulate T cell proliferation was　higher than mDC control in allogeneic tumor antigen-pulsed groups (P＜0.05),but not in syngeneic tumor antigen-pulsed groups (P＞0.05).The level of IFN-γ and IL-10 in CD8α+DCs and T cell co-culture　supernatant were increased in both allogeneic and syngeneic antigen-pulsed groups (P＜0.05),and the　cytokine level was higher in allogeneic antigen-pulsed groups than in syngeneic antigen groups when　the CD8α+DC/T was 1∶1 or 2∶1 (P＜0.05).There existed a negative correlation between the level of　IL-10 and T cell proliferation.T cell cytotoxicity assay showed that when CD8α+ DCs were pulsed with　allogeneic tumor antigen,the maximal T cell killing efficiency could reach (100±7.7)％,whereas syngeneic tumor antigen-pulsed group had only (65.0±3.4)％.It was concluded that syngeneic and allogeneic tumor antigen-pulsed immature CD8α+ DCs could stimulate T cells to exert the GVT effect in vitro,and the GVT effect was more obvious with allogeneic tumor antigen than with syngeneic tumor antigen.The optimal condition was low allogeneic tumor antigen pulsation (≤ 5 μg/mL) and low CD8α+ DC/T　ratio (1∶1 and 2∶1).

The graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect of T cells induced by tumor antigen-pulsed CD8α(+) dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro was investigated in this study. Immature CD8α(+) DCs were prepared from C57BL/6 (H-2(b)) bone marrow cells by using a cytokine cocktail. On the 3rd day of culture, CD8α(+) DCs were pulsed by allogeneic (Balb/c, H-2(d)) EL9611 leukemia antigen, or RM-1 syngeneic prostate cancer antigen, with the concentration series of 0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0 μg/mL, respectively, then antigen-loaded immature CD8α(+) DCs were co-cultured with syngeneic T cells according to the DC/T ratio of 1:1, 2:1 and 4:1. T cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. Cytokines including interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in CD8α(+) DCs and T co-culture supernatant were detected by using ELISA. Cytotoxic effect of antigen-specific T cells was tested by LDH release assay. Conventional mature DCs (mDCs) induced from C57BL/6 (H-2(b)) bone marrow cells by using granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) served as a control. The results showed that the proliferative activity of T cells stimulated by CD8α(+) DCs loaded with allogeneic or syngeneic tumor antigen was augmented with the CD8α(+) DC/T ratio increased (P<0.05). When antigen concentration ≤ 5 μg/mL and CD8α(+) DC/T ratio ≤ 2:1, the ability of CD8α(+) DCs to stimulate T cell proliferation was higher than mDC control in allogeneic tumor antigen-pulsed groups (P<0.05), but not in syngeneic tumor antigen-pulsed groups (P>0.05). The level of IFN-γ and IL-10 in CD8α(+) DCs and T cell co-culture supernatant were increased in both allogeneic and syngeneic antigen-pulsed groups (P<0.05), and the cytokine level was higher in allogeneic antigen-pulsed groups than in syngeneic antigen groups when the CD8α(+) DC/T was 1:1 or 2:1 (P<0.05). There existed a negative correlation between the level of IL-10 and T cell proliferation. T cell cytotoxicity assay showed that when CD8α(+) DCs were pulsed with allogeneic tumor antigen, the maximal T cell killing efficiency could reach (100±7.7)%, whereas syngeneic tumor antigen-pulsed group had only (65.0±3.4)%. It was concluded that syngeneic and allogeneic tumor antigen-pulsed immature CD8α(+) DCs could stimulate T cells to exert the GVT effect in vitro, and the GVT effect was more obvious with allogeneic tumor antigen than with syngeneic tumor antigen. The optimal condition was low allogeneic tumor antigen pulsation (≤ 5 μg/mL) and low CD8α(+) DC/T ratio (1:1 and 2:1).
