ObjectiveTo investigate the social support status and influencing factors of schizophrenics in remission in Northeast Sichuan, and to provide ideas for improving their social support. MethodsFrom May to September 2020, a total of 533 patients who met the diagnosis criteria of the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) for schizophrenics in remission at the mental health institutions in Guangyuan, Bazhong and Dazhou cities were selected for the survey, and patients were assessed by self-made demographic and clinical data inventory and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Then the social support status of schizophrenic in remission and influencing factors were analyzed, meantime, the impact of the second round reimbursement policy of medical insurance benefits on their social support was addressed particularly. Results①The SSRS total score, objective support, subjective support, and utilization of support scores of schizophrenics in remission were lower than those of the national norm (t=5.065~30.382, P<0.01). ②Univariate analysis showed that SSRS score was relatively high among patients with female gender (t=-3.632), retired status (F=5.951), married status (F=5.951), spouse as primary caregiver (F=23.841), annual household income >5 000 yuan (F=15.892), patient's economic income (t=4.083), and outpatient or online follow-up (F=3.954), with statistically significant differences (P<0.05 or 0.01). ③The total and dimensional scores of SSRS in patients with access to the second round medical insurance reimbursement were significantly higher than those without (t=10.195~25.103, P<0.01). ④Multiple linear regression analysis denoted that gender, work status, marital status, primary caregivers, annual family income, economic income, follow-up visits and the second round medical insurance reimbursement were the factors influencing social support status of schizophrenics in remission (β=0.201~2.115, P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionThe social support of schizophrenics in remission in Northeast Sichuan is below the national average, furthermore, their social support levels are affected by the gender, work status, marital status, primary caregivers, annual family income, economic income, follow-up visits and the second round medical insurance reimbursement, and the second round medical insurance reimbursement may ameliorate the social support status of patients.

Background:
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common cause of radicular pain, but the mechanism is not clear. In this study, we investigated the engagement of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in radicular pain and its possible mechanisms.
Methods:
An LDH model was induced by autologous nucleus pulposus (NP) implantation, which was obtained from coccygeal vertebra, then relocated in the lumbar 4/5 spinal nerve roots of rats. Mechanical and thermal pain behaviors were assessed by using von Frey filaments and hotplate test respectively. The protein level of TLR4 and phosphorylated-p65 (p-p65) was evaluated by western blotting analysis and immunofluorescence staining. Spinal microglia activation was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining of specific relevant markers. The expression of proand anti-inflammatory cytokines in the spinal dorsal horn was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.
Results:
Spinal expression of TLR4 and p-NF-κB (p-p65) was significantly increased after NP implantation, lasting up to 14 days. TLR4 was mainly expressed in spinal microglia, but not astrocytes or neurons. TLR4 antagonist TAK242 decreased spinal expression of p-p65. TAK242 or NF-κB inhibitor pyrrolidinedithiocarbamic acid alleviated mechanical and thermal pain behaviors, inhibited spinal microglia activation, moderated spinal inflammatory response manifested by decreasing interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α expression and increasing IL-10 expression in the spinal dorsal horn.
Conclusions
The study revealed that TLR4/NF-κB pathway participated in radicular pain by encouraging spinal microglia activation and inflammatory response.

Cardiovascular disease is currently the leading cause of death all over the world, and its prevalence and mortality are still rising. Changing risk health behaviors is an important prevention and treatment strategy for cardiovascular diseases, which can effectively delay the course of disease and improve prognosis of patients. However, the existing chronic disease management model does not fully exploit and utilize intervenable factors to maximize the effect of intervention. Based on 19 behavioral intervention theoretical frameworks, the behaviour change wheel (BCW) provides clear guidance for behavioral analysis and intervention design, which is worthy of in-depth study and application. This article reviews the framework content, implementation steps and application status of BCW in cardiovascular disease management at home and abroad, in order to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for domestic application of BCW theory to conduct behavior intervention.

Objective:To evaluate the role of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)-induced endogenous protection in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-caused apoptosis in rat alveolar macrophages and the relationship with endoplasmic reticulum stress.Methods:Alveolar macrophages of rats were randomized into 4 groups ( n=32 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), LPS group (group L), Con siRNA group and HO-1 siRNA group. Cells were cultured normally in group C, and 10 μg/ml LPS was added to the culture medium in the other three groups. Con siRNA and HO-1 siRNA transfection was performed at 48 h before adding LPS in Con siRNA and HO-1 siRNA groups. At 24 h of treatment with LPS, MTT method was used to measure the cell viability, flow cytometry was used to determine the cell apoptosis rate, and Western blot was used to detect the expression of glucose regulatory protein 78 (GRP78), phosphorylated kinase receptor-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (p-PERK), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP), phosphorylated type I endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein kinase (p-IRE-1), phosphorylated stress-activated protein kinase (p-JNK) and caspase-12. Results:Compared with group C, the cell viability was significantly decreased, cell apoptosis rate was increased, and the expression of HO-1, GRP78, CHOP, p-PERK, p-IRE-1, p-JNK and caspase-12 was up-regulated in the other three groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group L, the cell viability was significantly decreased, cell apoptosis rate was increased, and the expression of HO-1 was down-regulated, and the expression of GRP78, CHOP, p-PERK, p-IRE-1, p-JNK and caspase-12 was up-regulated in group HO-1 siRNA ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in each parameter in group Con siRNA ( P>0.05). Compared with group Con siRNA, the cell viability was significantly decreased, cell apoptosis rate was increased, and the expression of HO-1 was down-regulated, and the expression of GRP78, CHOP, p-PERK, p-IRE-1, p-JNK and caspase-12 was up-regulated in group HO-1 siRNA ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism of HO-1-induced endogenous protection is related to inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and then reducing LPS-induced apoptosis in alveolar macrophages of rats.
8. Spatiotemporal image correlation combined with 5D Heart intelligent navigation technique in normal fetal heart screening
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2019;35(6):872-876
Objective: To explore the application value of spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) combined with 5D Heart intelligent navigation echocardiography in ultrasonic screening of normal fetuses. Methods: Ultrasonic screening of fetal heart was performed in 114 normal fetuses using conventional two-dimensional ultrasound and STIC combined with 5D Heart intelligent navigation technique by doctor A. The time taken for image collection using these two methods were recorded and the same nine sections were scored. One week later, image quality of STIC combined with 5D Heart was scored again by doctor A again, also by doctor B. The qualified rate of each section was compared between the two methods, and the consistency of image quality score by the same doctor and different doctors was analyzed. Results: Two fetuses were excluded due to obvious fetal movement and inability to determine the position of the intelligent navigation point. The time of collection of fetal heart volume images and conventional two-dimension ultrasound images were (94.76±35.21)s and (595.88±139.29)s, respectively (P<0.001). There was no statistical difference between two examination methods in the qualification rate of the four-chamber, five-chamber, right ventricular outflow tract, three vessel and trachea, aortic-arch nor ductal-arch sections (all P>0.05). The qualification rate of the abdomen and left ventricular outflow tract sections using STIC combined with 5D Heart was lower than those using the conventional two-dimension ultrasound (both P<0.05). The score of each slice had good consistent between different doctors (except for three-vessel trachea and aotic-arch sections) and the same doctor except for aotic-arch section who analyzed the volume data at different times (all Kappa>0.75). Conclusion: STIC combined with 5D-Heart intelligent navigation technique can shorten the examination time. The quality of the nine fetal heart view images can meet the needs of fetal heart ultrasonic screening, feasible and repeatable in normal fetal heart ultrasonic screening.
