Objective To investigate the role of the piriformcortex in regulating attentional behavior in mice.Methods Adult male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to a 5-choice serial reaction time task(5-CSRTT).Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect expressions of cellular FBJ murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog protein(c-Fos)in the piriform cortex.The changes of attentional behavior in the 5-CSRTT test were explored following either stereotactic injection of diphtheria toxin A virus to specifically damage piriform cortex neurons or chemogenetical inhibition of the neuronal activity inthe piriform cortex.Results It was found that the expression of c-Fos in the 5-CSRTT-tested mice was significantly increased compared to the control.Both lesion and chemogenetic inhibition of piriform cortex neuronsreduced the accuracy of attention,but omission rates and premature responses remained unaffected in the 5-CSRTT test.Conclusion Piriform cortex neuronsmay play a critical role in modulating attentional processes in mice.

【Objective】 To investigate the feelings of blood donors during blood donation and its influencing factors, thus providing references for high quality blood donation service for blood banks. 【Methods】 A self-developed questionnaire concerning voluntary blood donation was randomly issued by the research group and recruited investigators among blood donors in 6 street blood donation sites of Nanjing Red Cross Blood Center at weekends during December 1~23, 2018. The basic information of blood donors, the difference of feelings during blood donation and the influencing factors were analyzed by descriptive analysis, chi-square test and binary Logistic regression analysis, respectively. 【Results】 A total of 405 questionnaires were issued, and all 405 copies were valid, with the response rate at 100% (405/405). Among the valid questionnaires, 46.67% (189/405) were first-time blood donors, 27.65% (112/405) had donated for 2~3 times, and 25.68% (104/405) donated more than 4 times. 53.59%(97/181), 23.7%(43/181) and 22.65%(41/181) of the above three groups of blood donors worried about the needles, and 55.48%(81/146), 22.60%(33/146) and 21.92%(32/146) worried about the blood outflow, 52.69% (88/167), 28.14% (47/167), and 19.16% (32/167 )worried about the pain during blood collection (P<0.05). The anxiety of unqualified blood test was similar to that of poor service (P>0.05). There were differences in blood donation experience among the three groups (P<0.05), and gender (P<0.05) was its influencing factor showed by binary Logistic regression analysis. 【Conclusion】 The majority of blood donors, who have donated at the street sites of Nanjing, are worried during blood donation collection. Therefore, the blood centers should provide high-quality services and humanized nursing interventions as well as strengthen the citizens′ awareness of blood donation.
