Objective To develop anxiety scale suitable for Chinese pregnant women and evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods Based on existing research results and clinical experience,this study compiled pregnancy anxiety scale(PAS). A sample of 509 pregnant women were selected for investigation and 65 of them were randomly retested for test-retest reliability with 2 week interval. Item analysis was con-ducted to screen valid items. Then the construct validity of the scale was tested by exploratory factor analysis ( EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA). Finally the reliability and criterion validity of the scale were evaluated using Cronbach's α coefficient,retest reliability coefficient and Pearson correlation coefficient. Re-sults The PAS was composed of 27 items in four factors,including worry about delivery,worry about them-selves,worry about fetal health and general anxiety. The four factors were extracted by EFA which could ex-plain 62. 48% of the total variance. Besides,the result of CFA demonstrated that the model fitted the data with well construct validity (χ2/df=1. 89,RMR=0. 04,RMSEA=0. 06,IFI=0. 92,TLI=0. 91,CFI=0. 92, PGFI=0. 70,PNFI=0. 74,PCFI=0. 81). The score of the pregnancy-related anxiety scale and its factors scores were positively correlated with the scores of pregnancy-related anxiety questionnaire(PAQ) and child-birth attitudes questionnaire(CAQ). The correlation coefficients were 0. 60-0. 80 and 0. 50-0. 78 respectively (all P<0. 01). The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0. 93 for the total scale and that of the four factors ranged from 0. 82 to 0. 90. The test-retest reliability was 0. 68 for the total scale and ranged from 0. 54 to 0. 75 for the four factors. Conclusion The PAS has a good reliability and validity,and it can be used as a valid tool to measure the anxiety level of pregnant women.

Preoperative mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) has been established as a standard procedure for elective colorectal surgery in most surgical centers since 1950s. However, the routine use of MBP for elective colorectal surgery is still in debate, as the researches on the evaluation of MBP have been carried out in recent 20 years. By searching and analyzing the existing evidence, we conclude that MBP should be routinely abandoned for elective open colorectal surgery, but should be routinely used for elective laparoscopic rectal surgery, and it still awaits large-scale RCTs for further evaluation of MBP for elective laparoscopic colonic surgery.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of early stage minimally invasive laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of catheter drainage on early inflammatory response of severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP ) . Methods 37 SAP patients with peritoneal effusion were divided into the observation group (19 cases with early laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of catheter drainage )and normal treatment group(18 cases with conventional drainage)using a random number table.All patients were given conventional therapy , such as fasting, gastroin-testinal decompression , anti-infection, fluid resuitation and using gastric acid and trypsin inhibitors .In addition to conventional therapy , the observation group received the early laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of catheter drainage.The inflammatory indexes responding to acute inflammation such as TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8, IL-10 and C-re-active protein(CRP)were detected before and after treatment .Meanwhile, the date of resume diet, APACHEⅡscores and duration of systemic inflammatory response ( SIRS) , incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome ( MODS) and the mortality were observed .Results The acute inflammatory response occurred in both groups . The plasma levels of TNF-a,IL-6,IL-8,IL-10 and CRP in the two groups decreased obviously after 3-day treat-ment.However, the plasma levels of inflammatory mediators in the normal treatment group increased while those early laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of catheter drainage group kept decreasing after 7-day treatment .There was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01).Time for resuming to diets and duration of SIRS in the observation group were less than those in the normal treatment group ( P<0.01 ) , APACHEⅡscore were significantly less than those in normal treatment group also (P<0.01).The rates of MODS, overall postoperative complication rate and mortality were significantly lower in the observation group (P<0.05).Conclusions Early laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of catheter drainage can effectively improve the prognosis in patients with SAP and decrease the production of inflammatory mediators .Early laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of cathe-ter drainage is simple , feasible and micro-invasive with encouraging outcomes , therefore it is an effective and safe treatment option for patients with SAP .

OBJECTIVETo understand the characteristics of recreational drug users' behaviors and social network, as well as their potential impact to the transmission of sexual transmitted infections (STI).
METHODSQualitative interview was used to collect information on rough estimation of population size and behavior change before and after recreational drug use. A total of 120 participants were recruited by convenient sampling from April to October, 2013 in a community of Qingdao city. Blood specimens were taken for HIV/syphilis serological testing and social network analysis was performed to understand the characteristics of their behavior and social network.
RESULTSAll participants used methamphetamine and 103 of them showed social connection. The prevalence of syphilis and HIV were 24.2% (29/120) and 2.5% (3/120) respectively. The estimated size of recreational drug users was big with a wide diversity of occupations and age range, and males were more frequent than females. Drug use may affect condom use and frequent drug users showed symptom of psychosis and neuro-toxicities. The size of social network was 2.45 ± 1.63 in the past 6 months, which indicated an increasing trend of the sexual partner number and risky behaviors.
CONCLUSIONRecreational drug use could increase the size of social network among sex partners, the frequency of risky sexual behaviors and syphilis prevalence, which indicate a high risk of HIV/STI among this population as well as a huge burden of disease prevention and control in the future.
