Objective To explore the relationship among peer relationship,self-consciousness and social anxiety in HIV-infected children. Methods Peer Relationship Scale,Piers-Harris Children's Self-con-cept Scale and Social Anxiety Scale for Children were applied to 126 HIV-infected children. Results The score of peer relationship was 53. 0(45. 0,62. 0),the score of self-concept was 52. 0(42. 0,60. 0),and the score of social anxiety was 6. 0(2. 0,9. 0). Peer relationship was positively correlated with social anxiety( r=0. 196,P=0. 029) and negatively correlated with self-consciousness(r=-0. 628,P<0. 01). Self-conscious-ness was negatively correlated with social anxiety(r=-0. 504,P<0. 01). Bootstrap analysis showed that self-consciousness played a complete mediating role between peer relationship and social anxiety,and the media-ting effect value was 0. 377. Conclusion Peer relationship,self-consciousness and social anxiety are closely related. Furthermore,self-consciousness plays a complete mediating role between peer relationship and social anxiety in HIV-infected children.

Objective To summarize clinicopathologic features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) coexistent with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT) and investigate risk factors for lymph node metastasis.Methods The medical records of 4 264 consecutive papillary thyroid carcinoma patients who received surgical treatment from Oct 2013 to Oct 2015 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were reviewed.The diagnoses was confirmed by histopathological tests.Univariate analysis was performed to identify specific clinicopathologic features of PTC with CLT.Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to determine whether each clinicopathologic feature was an independent risk factor for lymph node metastasis.Results In all 4 265 cases,there were 3 059 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) (71.7％),1 010 PTC patients (23.7％) with CLT.909 female patients (90％),624 cases with multifocal lesions (61.8％),422 cases with extra-thyroid extension (41.8％),429 cases with lymph node metastasis (42.5％),and 133 cases with metastatic lymph nodes(LNs) ≥6 (13.2％).The median age was 43 years old and median tumor size was 0.8 cm.Patients with CLT were more females (90.0％ vs.70.2％;P ＜ 0.001),younger median age (43 vs.44 years;P =0.001),and lower incidence of lymph node metastasis (42.5％ vs.50.9％;P ＜0.001).CLT was not associated with tumor size,multifocal lesions,extra-thyroid extension and metastatic LNs≥6 (0.8 cm vs.0.7 cm,61.8％ vs.62.9％,41.8％ vs.42.1％ and 13.2％ vs.14.8％,respectively,all P ＞ 0.05).In multivariate analysis,CLT was an independent protective factor for lymph node metastasis (OR =0.713,95％ CI 0.609-0.835,P ＜0.001).In PTC patients with lymph node metastasis,CLT was not associated with lymph node metastasis number (3 vs.3,P =0.300).Conclusions Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis was an independent protective factor for papillary thyroid carcinoma patients with lymph node metastasis.But in patients with lymph node metastasis,the metastatic number didn't decrease.

An in vitro synthesized random ssDNA library was subjected to 12 rounds of selection against anti-screening cells and sieving cells by SELEX. Normal and inflammatory cervical exfoliation cells were selected as anti-screening cells, and the cervical exfoliation cells of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (CIN1), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (CIN2, CIN3) and cervical carcinoma were selected as sieving cells during the screening process. Then, the highly specific aptamer CIN-Ap4 was established by the analysis of the specificity, affinity and cell immunofluorescence, which can be used as biomarker for Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. Prime Premier 5.0 was applied to design a random ssDNA library. According to the fixed sequence at both ends of the library, a pair of primers were designed and synthesized. At the same time, the optimal annealing temperature, cycle times and primer concentration ratio of PCR procedure were selected. The results under the optimal condition are shown as follows. In the 50 μL reaction system, the optimum reaction conditions of symmetry PCR are as follows: annealing temperature is 49.5 ℃, number of cycles is 15. The optimal reaction conditions of indirect asymmetric PCR are as follows: the primer concentration ratio is 80:1, and the number of cycles is 35. The experiment proves that the oligonucleotide library is constructed successfully, and the highly specific dsDNA and ssDNA can be obtained under optimal PCR conditions with good repeatability, which establishes the foundation for the further exploration and experimentation.

Objectives To evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the incidence risk of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).Methods This retrospective study included 1210 PTMC patients who underwent surgery between November 2013 and October 2014 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital,China Academy of Medical Science.A population-based 1∶1 matched case-control study was conducted,and each PTMC patients was matched with one who received thyroid function and ultrasonic to confirm that there was no disease in the thyroid.The clinical profiles of these patients were collected.According to Guidelines for Prevention and Control of Overweight and Obesity in Chinese Adults,all subjects were divided into three groups:underweight (BMI ≤ 18.5 kg/m2),normal(18.5 kg/m2 ＜ BMI ≤ 23.9 kg/m2),overweight (24.0 kg/m2 ＜ BMI ＜ 27.9 kg/m2) and obese group(BMI≥28.0 kg/m2).The relationship between BMI and PTMC incidence risk was analyzed by casecontrol study.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the relationship between BMI and PTMC severity.Results The BMI of PTMC patients was significant higher than in normal control [(24.30 ±3.33) kg/m2 vs (23.31 ± 3.50) kg/m2,P ＜ 0.0001].Compared with BMI normal group,the incidence risk of PTMC in underweight group was significantly lower (OR =0.449,95 ％ CI:0.270-0.747),which is higher in overweight and obese group (OR =1.559,95％ CI:1.261-1.928;OR =2.059,95％ CI:1.501-2.823).Histopathological review of 1210 PTMC patients with surgical resection revealed.The proportions of underweight,normal,overweight and obese group of the patients with extrathyroid extension (3.1％,48.0％,36.7％,12.2％) have significant differences with those in the patients whose tumor are limited to the thyroid (0.7％,45.2％,36.0％,18.1％) (P =0.0090).The proportions of 4 group of the patients with multiple lesions (3.2％,49.0％,35.6％,12.2％) were significantly differences to those in the patients with single lesion (0.8％,43.3％,38.7％,17.2％) (P =0.0050).Multivariate analysis showed that underweight is a protective factor of extrathyroidal extension (OR =0.219,95 ％ CI:0.051-0.932;OR =0.279,95 ％ CI:0.085-0.935) and mulifocality,and obese is an independent risk factors(OR =1.556,95％CI:1.047-2.312;OR =1.764,95％CI:1.204-2.584).Conclusions This study identified that the incidence risk of PTMC is positive related with BMI.In PTMC patients,obesity increases the risk of mulifocality and extrathyroidal extension.Attention should be paid to the effect of obesity on the incidence risk of PTMC and the diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the clinical and pathological feature,as well as risk factors of lymph node metastasis (LNM) and high-volume LNM (hvLNM) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) with di ameter ≤0.5 cm.Methods PTMC patients who received surgical treatments in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from Nov.2013 to Nov.2014 were reviewed.Patients were allocated into the ≤0.5 cm group and (0.5-1)cm group according to tumor diameter.Clinical and pathological features were assessed and compared.Risk factors of LNM and hvLNM were also assessed through univariate and multivariate analysis.Results 1414 patients were enrolled,of which 315 patients (22.3％) were in the ≤0.5 cm group.76 LNM (24.1％) and 9 hvLNM (2.9％) were detected in the ≤0.5 cm group.There was significantly less capsule invasion (14.3％ vs 25.0％,P＜0.05),LNM (24.1％ vs 39.8％,P＜0.05) and hvLNM (2.9％ vs 7.9％,P＜0.05) in ≤0.5 cm group than in (0.5-1)cm group.In univariate analysis,patients aging ＜40 years old were more likely to have LNM than those older than 40(38.0％ vs 20.1％,P＜0.05),while male patients tended to have more LNM than female (32.4％ vs 21.9％,P=0.073).No risk factors were identified for hvLNM.In multivariate analysis,multifocality and younger than 40 years old were the independent risk factors of LNM (OR=2.082 and 2.899,P＜0.05),while male tended to be the independent risk factors of LNM (OR=l.807,P=0.058).No independent risk factors was identified for hvLNM.Conclusions A certain proportion of PTMC patients are with tumor diameter ≤0.5 cm,who have lower risk of LNM and hvLNM.Dynamic observation may be an option,especially in older ≥40 years old),unifocal and female patients.

Objective: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) often occurs in cN0 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). The risk factors for lymph node metastasis, especially for high-volume metastasis, were investigated in this study. Methods: The medical records of 1,268 consecutive PTMC patients admitted in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2013 to 2014 were reviewed. Their clinical and pathological features were collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for LNM/highvolume LNM. Results: Of the 1,268 patients, 416 patients (32.8％) and 43 (3.4％) had LNM and high-volume LNM, respectively. According to the univariate analysis results for the risk factors of LNM, male (42.22％ vs. 30.26％, P<0.01), <40 years (<40 years, 48.39％; 40-59 years, 27.62％; ≥60 years 22.45％, P<0.03), multifocality (41.00％ vs. 29.03％, P<0.01), without chronic thyroiditis (36.44％ vs. 20.62％,P<0.01), tumor size >0.5 cm (35.77％ vs. 23.05％, P<0.01) were associated with LNM. Meanwhile, according to the multivariate analysis results, male, multifocality, and tumor size >0.5 cm are independent risk factors for LNM (OR=1.516, 1.743, and 1.788, respectively, all P<0.05). The protective factors for LNM are 40-59 years, ≥60 years, and chronic thyroiditis (OR 0.388, 0.301, and 0.472, respectively,all P<0.05). In the univariate analysis of risk factors for high-volume LNM, the results indicated that being male (6.30％ vs. 2.61％, P= 0.005), <40 years (<40 years, 7.62％; 40-59 years, 2.05％; ≥60 years 0, P<0.001), and tumor size >0.5 cm (4.01％ vs. 1.36％, P=0.027) are associated with high-volume LNM. In multivariate analysis, the results suggest that being male is an independent risk factor for LNM (OR=2.383, P=0.002), whereas age of 40-59 years is a protective factor for LNM (OR=0.270, P<0.001). Conclusion: Lymph node metastasis often ocucrs in cN0 PTMC, whereas high-volume LNM is rare. Being male and <40 years old are risk factors for both LNM and highvolume LNM.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the compatibility stability of Salvianolic acid for injection (SAFI) combined with 8 kinds of common solvents. METHODS:Referring to package inserts,SAFI was collected and combined with 0.9% Sodium chlo-ride injection,5% Glucose injection,10% Glucose injection,Compound sodium chloride injection,Mannitol injection,Glycerol fructose and sodium chloride injection,Sodium lactate Ringer's injection,Glucose and sodium chloride injection,250 mL each re-spectively,and then sealed in the dark at the room temperature. The appearance of mixtures were observed,pH value,the number of insoluble particles,maximal absorption wavelength and maximal absorbance were detected,and the contents of salvianolic acid B,rosmarinic acid,lithospermic acid and salvianolic acid Y in mixtures were determined by HPLC at 0,1,2,4,8 h after mix-ing. RESULTS:Under above condition,no obvious change was found in appearance or pH values of the mixtures within 8 h. Maxi-mal absorption wavelength ranged 284.5-286.0 nm. After mixed with Mannitol injection,the number of particles≥10μm(1-8 h af-ter mixing)and particles ≥25 μm(4-8 h after mixing)exceeded the scope of Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2015 edition);the maxi-mal absorbance changed significantly(RSD=9.17%,n=5);the relative content of salvianolic acid B,rosmarinic acid,lithosper-mic acid and salvianolic acid Y decreased by more than 10%(RSD=14.65%,6.45%,8.97%,12.49%,n=5);after mixed with Sodium lactate Ringer's injection,the relative content of rosmarinic acid and lithospermic acid changed greatly (RSD=14.57%, 7.28%,n=5);after mixed with 5% Glucose injection(4-8 h after mixing)and Glycerol fructose and sodium chloride injection(8 h after mixing),the relative content of rosmarinic acid were less than 90%(RSD=6.30%,4.86%,n=5);and the number of particles ≥25μm exceeded the scope of phamcopoeia after mixing with Glycerol fructose and sodium injection(0 h). The number of insoluble particles in other mixtures were in line with the standard of pharmacopoeia;maximal absorbance had no significant change(RSD<5%,n=5),and the relative content change of analytes were all less than 10%. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical appli-cation of SAFI combined with Mannitol injection,Sodium lactate Ringe's injection and Glycerol fructose and sodium injecrion should be avoided. After mixed with 5% Glucose injection,SAFI should be used within 4 h. SAFI can be compatible with 0.9%Sodium chloride injection,10% Glucose injection,Compound sodium chloride injection and Glucose and sodium chloride injec-tion.

Objective: To investigate the related factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM), especially for high volume LNM (>5 metastatic lymph nodes) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods: The medical records of 2 073 consecutive PTC patients who underwent lobectomy, near-total thyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy with ipsilateral or bilateral central lymph node dissection in Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital from November 2013 to October 2014 were reviewed. Clinical and pathological features were collected. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify the related factors for LNM/high volume LNM. Results: In all 2 073 patients, LNM and high volume LNM were confirmed in 936 (45.15%) cases and 254 (12.25%) cases respectively. In univariate analysis, large tumor size, young patients (<40 years), male were associated with both LNM and high volume LNM. In multivariate analysis, tumor size >2.0 cm, young patients (<40 years), male were independent related factors of LNM (OR=5.262, 95% CI: 3.468 to 7.986; OR=2.447, 95% CI: 2.000 to 2.995; OR=1.988, 95% CI: 1.593 to 2.480, respectively, all P=0.000) and high volume LNM (OR=6.687, 95% CI: 4.477 to 9.986; OR=2.975, 95% CI: 2.224 to 3.980; OR=2.354, 95% CI: 1.737 to 3.191, respectively, all P=0.000). In 1 414 PTMC patients, a similar result was also demonstrated.Compared with young patients (<40 years), old patients (≥60 years) had lower incidence of LNM (25.47% vs. 52.24%, χ²=62.903, P=0.000) and high volume LNM (1.89% vs. 13.18%, χ²=37.341, P=0.000). Additionally, old patients also had lower risk of both LNM (OR=0.316, 95% CI: 0.194 to 0.517, P=0.000) and high volume LNM (OR=0.142, 95% CI: 0.034 to 0.599, P=0.000). Conclusions The tumor size was the main related factor for both LNM and high volume LNM in PTC. The treatment should be more active in patients with tumor size >2 cm with consideration of higher incidence and risk for LNM and high volume LNM. Young patient was another important related factor for LNM and high volume LNM. In PTMC, old patients had lower incidence and risk for both LNM and high volume LNM. Dynamic observation or less surgical extent could be an option for these patients.

BACKGROUND:It has been proved that bone marrow mononuclear cel transplantation can obviously improve neurological function of rats with cerebral hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of transplanted bone marrow mononuclear cel s on the neurological function and apoptosis in perihematomal brain tissues fol owing cerebral hemorrhage in a rat model. METHODS:Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were given stereotaxical injection of col agenase IV into the caudate nucleus to establish cerebral hemorrhage models in transplantation group (n=12) and model group (n=12), and then at 6 hours after cerebral hemorrhage, rats in these two groups were administrated 3x1010/L al ograft bone marrow mononuclear cel s and the same amount of PBS, respectively. Another 12 rats were given no interventions as control group. Neurological functions of rats were assessed at 1, 4, 8, 16 days after cerebral hemorrhage;pathological changes of the injury sites were observed at 16 days after transplantation;neuronal apoptosis rates in the perihematomal brain tissue were detected by flow cytometry at 2 and 4 days after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The modified neurologic severity scores in the transplantation group were significantly lower than those in the model group at 8 and 16 days after cerebral hemorrhage (P<0.05). In the control group, cel s in each layer arranged closely with complete structure, and neurons and glial cel s were in good shape;in the model group, perihematomal brain tissues were loose with intercel ular gap, in which most neurons and glial cel s became necrotic;in the transplantation group, cel s in each layer arranged closely and regularly, and glial cel proliferation occurred. Besides, compared with the model group, the neuronal apoptosis rate in the transplantation group was significantly lower (P<0.05). To conclude, bone marrow mononuclear cel s can significantly enhance the neurological function recovery and reduce neuronal apoptosis in the brain of cerebral hemorrhage rats.
