[Objective] To explore the characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and mental health status among blood donors in Guangzhou, and to investigate the correlation between donation frequency and these factors. [Methods] A cross-sectional study was conducted among 13 042 whole blood donors from 17 street blood donation sites of Guangzhou Blood Center from May to August 2020. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and mental health status among blood donors in Guangzhou. Ordinal multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between donation frequency and these factors. [Results] It was found that some of 13 042 blood donors had unhealthy habits, such as 6.8% (698/10 214,2 828 missing values) had severe tobacco dependence, 30.6% (3 997/13 042) had low exercise levels, 38.8%(5 056/13 042)had poor sleep quality, and 2.2% (271/12 159,883 missing values) had alcohol dependence. In addition, 2.8% (364/13 042) and 1.3% (172/13 042) of the donors may have moderate to severe depression and anxiety symptoms, respectively. The results of the ordinal multinomial logistic regression model showed that exercise level was significantly negatively correlated with the degree of depression and anxiety among blood donors. With the decrease in exercise level, the possibility of depression and anxiety among donors increased significantly. BMI, household income, education level, marital status, donation frequency, alcohol consumption and smoking had no significant correlation with the mental health status of donors. [Conclusion] Improving the exercise habits of blood donors may help enhance their mental health level. It is recommended that blood station staff strengthen the content of exercise when providing health education to blood donors to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It also suggests that there may be a certain degree of under-diagnosis of mental health problems in the process of health consultation before blood donation, and conducting more comprehensive and effective mental health assessments for blood donors is recommended.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of downregulated programmed cell death 10 ( PDCD10) expression mediating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) resistance to temozolomide (TMZ). Methods:U87, LN229 and T98g cell lines were transfected with PDCD10 small interfering RNA or negative small interfering RNA. TMZ-resistant cell lines were constructed using 300 μmol/L TMZ (transfected T98g cell line) and 150 μmol/L TMZ (transfected U87 and LN229 cell lines), respectively: TMZ-resistant U87 cell line transfected with PDCD10 small interfering RNA (shPDCD10-U87-RG cells), TMZ-resistant U87 cell line transfected with negative small interfering RNA (EV-U87-RG cells), shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells, EV-T98g-RG cells, shPDCD10-LN229-RG cells and EV-LN229-RG cells. Flow cytometry and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to detect the transfection efficiency of TMZ-resistant cell lines and PDCD10 expressions; MTT assay and colony formation assay were used to verify the drug-resistant ability of TMZ-resistant cell lines. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to detect the correlations of PDCD10 with key genes ( MSH6 and PMS2) in mismatch repair (MMR) system, and drug resistant mechanism was explored by detecting the cell cycle and neurosphere formation ability of drug-resistant cells. Results:(1) qRT-PCR showed that compared with that in EV-U87-RG cells, the PDCD10 expression in shPDCD10-U87-RG cells was statistically down-regulated by (32.85±1.14)% ( t=2.925, P=0.049); compared with that in EV-T98g-RG cells, the PDCD10 expression in shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells was significantly down-regulated by (57.17±1.81)% ( t=3.179, P=0.043); compared with that in EV-LN229-RG cells, the PDCD10 expression in shPDCD10-LN229-RG cells was significantly down-regulated by (33.68±1.34)% ( t=3.085, P=0.045). (2) MTT assay showed that compared with the EV-U87-RG cells, the shPDCD10-U87-RG cells had significantly increased viability ( P<0.05); compared with the EV-T98g-RG cells, the shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells had significantly increased viability ( P<0.05). Among the same kind of cells, the viability 3 d after wash-out was significantly increased compared with that at 72 h after TMZ treatment ( P<0.05). Colony formation assay showed that cell lines with down-regulated PDCD10 expression had higher tumorigenic ability. (3) Compared with EV-U87-RG cells and EV-T98g-RG cells, cells with down-regulated PDCD10 expression (shPDCD10-U87-RG cells and shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells) escaped from TMZ-induced G2/M arrest, resulting in TMZ resistance. (4) Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the PDCD10 expression was positively correlated with MSH6 and PMS2 expressions ( r=0.262, P<0.001; r=0.327, P<0.001); qRT-PCR indicated that downregulated PDCD10 expression caused decreased MSH6 and PMS2 expressions, which disrupted the MMR system. (5) Compared with that by EV-U87 cells, number of neurospheres formed by shPDCD10-U87 cells was significantly increased ( P<0.05); compared with that by EV-U87-RG cells, number of neurospheres formed by shPDCD10-U87-RG cells was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:PDCD10 affects the therapeutic sensitivity of GBM to TMZ by arresting cell cycle, disrupting MMR system, and increasing cell stemness.

China is stepping up its standardized management of investigator initiated trials(IIT)carried out by medical and health institutions, spotlighting the establishment and improvement of the quality control system of IIT projects than ever before. The authors retrieved official websites of clinical research related units of medical institutions and research institutes at home and abroad, and by means of literature review analyzed the current quality management of IIT projects at home and abroad. They found such setbacks as lack of quality management standards and norms, imperfect quality control mechanism, poor awareness of quality risk, insufficient quality supervision and poor quality control ability of clinical researchers. Based on the above, the paper made the following recommendations for building an IIT project quality control system in China: developing quality management standards and norms, setting up a systematic quality control mechanism(i.e., exploring a three-level quality control mode composed of the project team/department-hospital-national supervision institution/peer review expert team, and implementing the whole process quality control mechanism), strengthening policy guidance and system construction, and strengthening the standardized training of clinical researchers.

The onset of depression is related to many factors such as biological, psychological and social environment, and more and more studies have shown that early life adversity is a risk factor for depression. Patients with depression who have early life adversity have different clinical characteristics, such as greater cognitive impairment and higher risk of suicide, which may be related to changes in cognitive patterns. In addition, early life adversity can cause endocrine, immune and nervous system specific changes in depressed patients. This article reviews the relationship and mechanism between various types of early life adverse and depression, explores the onset of depression and provides theory evidence for early intervention.

METHODS The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)fingerprint of QM was established ,and the chemical pattern recognition analysis was carried out. At the same time ,the contents of 8 components such as chlorogenic acid in the preparation were determined. The determination was performed on Agilent SB-C 18 column with 0.1% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile as mobile phase (gradient elution )at the flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. The column temperature was 35 ℃,and detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine(2012 edition),SPSS 20.0 and SIMCA 14.1 were used to perform similarity evaluation ,cluster analysis (CA),principle component analysis (PCA)and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA)of QM samples. RESULTS A total of 22 common peaks were calibrated by 15 batches of QM ,and the similarity was over 0.975. Twenty-two common peaks were assigned and 8 of them were identified. CA ,PCA and OPLS-DA divided the 15 batches of QM into two categories. Meanwhile,5 differential components were screened out ,i.e. peak 9(cichoric acid ),peak 14(baicalin),peak 18,peak 19 and peak 21 (baicalein). The contents of 8 components,such as chlorogenic acid ,ferulic acid ,cichoric acid ,hesperidin, baicalin,salvianolic acid B ,baicalein and paeonol ,were 0.077-0.094,0.165-0.190,0.100-0.114,0.083-0.107,0.556-0.615,0.288-0.314,0.152-0.188 and 0.114-0.128 mg/g,respectively. CONCLUSIONS The established HPLC fingerprint and content determination method can provide reference for the quality standard research of QM.

Objective To investigate the clinical treatment of nonpenetrated cornea trauma caused by crops. Methods Clinical data of 128 cases of nonpenetrated cornea trauma caused by crops were retrospectively analyzed. According to the interval time between occurrence of trauma and clinic visiting, the patients were divided into 3 groups:group A (33 cases,<24 h), group B (72 cases, 24 h≤interval time<1 week) and group C (23 cases, ≥ 1 week). The therapeutic effects and prognosis were analyzed. Results There was statistical difference in the incidence of corneal ulcer among group A, group B and group C: 6.1% (2/33), 62.5% (45/72) and 100.0% (23/23), χ2= 52.32, P<0.01. In group B, 12 cases were treated with conjunctival flap covering, 2 cases received keratoplasty and 2 cases undertook enucleation. In group C, 10 cases were treated with conjunctival flap covering, 4 cases received keratoplasty and 2 patients undertook enucleation finally. All the other patients were cured with local debridement and medical treatment. Conclusions Patients with nonpenetrated cornea trauma caused by crops may develop infectious keratitis, and prompt and proper treatment can avoid the secondary infection and improve the outcome. Local debridement in combination with iodophors disinfection can prevent the incidence of infectious keratitis. Conjunctival flap covering is an effective technique in the treatment of corneal ulcer caused by nonpenetrated cornea trauma.
