Objective To investigate the correlation of suicidal ideation with social support and quality of life among only-child loss people.Methods Totally 320 only-child loss people were collected by using stratified cluster random sampling method.Social support rating scale(SSRS) and general quality of life inventory(GQOLI) were used to investigate the suicidal ideation status.The association of suicidal ideation with social support and quality of life was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Results The suicidal risk rate of only-child loss people was 45.0%.Compared with control group((4.87±2.32),(35.50±9.33),(139.46±37.80)),only-child loss group had lower scores in suicidal ideation,SSRS,GQOLI ((8.94±3.99),(29.97±9.15),(29.97±9.15) respectively,t=1.997-15.009,P<0.05 or P<0.01).The suicidal ideation total score was negatively correlated with scores of SSRS and all its 4 items,GQOLI,physical function,psychological function(r=-0.121--0.270,P<0.05 or P<0.01).The score of suicidal ideation in the past year was positively correlated with scores of material function (r=0.135,P< 0.05).Regression analysis showed that age,marriage,objective support,subjective support and GQOLI were the influencing factors(t=-3.251-3.160,P< 0.01 or P<0.05).Conclusion Only-child loss people have higher suicidal risks,which is negatively correlated with lower social support and quality of life,and influenced by age,marriage,SSRS and GQOLI factors.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of exposure to particulate matter ≤10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) on sperm quality in different stages of sperm development.
Methods:
This cross-sectional study included 1 827 patients attending the reproductive medicine center in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University during April 2013 to January 2015. Air pollution data from January 2013 to January 2015 was obtained from the database of Wuhan Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. The generalized linear model was employed to assess the association between each exposure variables and sperm parameters for several exposure windows (0-9, 10-14, 15-69, 70-90, 0-90 days before sampling) .
Results:
The average levels of PM10 was (116.2±71.6) μg/m3 during the research period. Sperm volume was (75.4±49.1) ×106/ml in sample population, (29.4±16.2) % in progressive motility and (51.8±21.6) % in total motility. Exposure to PM10 was inversely associated with sperm concentration (β:-0.319; 95%

Objective To explore the alteration of the peripheral thyroid hormone level in patients with chronic alcohol dependence and its relationship with depressive emotion.Methods Data were collected from 21 male patients with chronic alcohol dependence (case group) and 21 male health control (control group).Hamilton Depression Scale-24 (HAMD-24) and Alcohol Dependence Screening Scale (MAST) were used.The level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),free triiodothyronine (FT3),free thyroxine (FT4),triiodothyronine (T3) and four iodine thyroxine (T4) of case group and control group were separately determined.The level of above-mentioned hormones and scale score of case group were evaluated in the first and sixth week of the period of temperance.Data of control group were collected once at baseline.Results The level of FT3 in case group was decreased significantly in the first week of the period of temperance compared with the control group ((4.34± 1.01) pmol/L,(5.85 ± 0.78) pmol/L,t =5.56,P< 0.01),while the level of TSH in case group was increased((2.62±0.69) uIU/ml,(1.70±0.81)uIU/ml,t=-3.96,P<0.01).The level of FT3 and T3 in case group decreased significantly in the sixth week of the period of temperance comparedwith the control group(FT3:(5.22±0.92) pmol/L,(5.85±0.78) pmol/L,t=2.45,P< 0.05;T3:(1.54±0.54)pmol/L,(1.84±0.34)pmol/L,t=2.92,P<0.01).The level of FT3 of the case group in the first week decreased significantly compared with the sixth week in the period of temperance (t=-4.12,P<0.01),while the level of FT4 were increased significantly (t=-3.93,P<0.01).In case group,the scores of HAMD-24 and the level of T3 (r=-0.465,P<0.05),TSH (r=-0.489,P<0.05) were negative correlation in the first week of the period of temperance.No correlation were observed between the score of HAMD-24 and the level of FT3,FT4,TSH,T3,T4 (r=-0.303-0.047,all P> 0.05)in the sixth week of the period of temperance.Conclusion The level of serum thyroid is disordered in patients with chronic alcohol dependence.The disorder will recover in the period of temperance and is associated with depressive emotion.

Objective: To observe the safety and clinical efficacy of tumor antigen-pulsed dendritic cell(DC) vaccine in treatment of advanced malignant tumor.Methods: Ninety-one patients with non-small cell lung cancer,colon and rectal cancer,melanoma,renal carcinoma,breast cancer and other malignant tumors were enrolled in this study.All patients met the selecting standard and signed informed consent.Human dendritic cells were obtained from peripheral blood monocytes by culturing them with granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and interleukin-4.DC vaccine was prepared from tumor antigen pulsed immature dendritic cells in vitro.Patients received the vaccine therapy once every week and one cycle was defined as once every week for 3 weeks.Results: All the patients received 96 cycles of DC vaccine treatment.Symptoms of toxicity included fever,shivering,aching pain of muscle,asthenia,itching,stifle and transient fatigue;most of the symptoms automatically recovered.Clinical efficacy of the treatment was evaluated in 76 patients.Thirty-one of the 76 patients were stable after treatment and 45 were in progressive situation,with the clinical benefiting rate being 40.8%.Eighty-five patients were followed up.The median time for progression was 2.6 months;the overall survival time was 0.9-30.6 months;and the median survival period was 4.5 months,with the one year survival rate being 9.2%.Conclusion: The results suggest that the DC vaccine therapy is well tolerated in treating patients with advanced malignant tumors and has satisfactory clinical benefit;the clinical value of DC vaccine therapy needs to be further observed.
