Objective:
To explore the intervention effect of group counseling integrating teadrinking on depression, social avoidance and distress, coping styles and selfesteem among college students, so as to provide references for promoting the psychological health of students.
Methods:
From March to June 2021, a convenience sampling method was used to recruit 46 college students from a university in Nanjing for intervention project. There were 23 students in intervention group and control group, respectively. The intervention was conducted for 2.5 hours per week across a 6 week period. The intervention group received two sessions of group counseling that incorporated teadrinking experience, and the sessions involved tea knowledge explanation, observation and learning, embodied experience, emotional expression, interpersonal assistance and emotional support, cultural customs and life integration. After the intervention was completed, the control group received onetime group counseling that integrated teadrinking. The Wilcoxon difference test and Mann-Whitney U test were performed to compare the scores of each scale within and between the groups, and the χ2 test was used to compare the detection rates.
Results:
There were no statistically significant differences in the scores of positive coping, negative coping, selfesteem, social avoidance and distress between the intervention group and the control group (Z=-1.20, -0.33, -0.35, 1.31,P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in positive coping styles, selfesteem, social avoidance and distress between the intervention group and the control group after the intervention(27.70±5.60,22.05±4.30;30.52±3.63,28.27±4.06;7.43±7.38,13.64±6.79) (Z=-3.31, -2.10, 3.22, P<0.05). The intervention group showed statistically significant differences in social avoidance and distress scores before and after the intervention(11.96±7.47,7.43±7.38) (Z=-2.88), and the depression detection rate decreased(60.9%,30.4%) (χ2=4.29) (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in positive coping, negative coping, selfesteem, social avoidance and distress scores, and depression detection rate between the control group before and after the intervention (Z/χ2=-0.28, -0.42, -1.24, -1.25;1.39, P>0.05). The followup results 1year later showed that there was a statistically significant difference in social avoidance and distress(6.57±6.21,14.16±9.22), and in the detection rates of depression(21.7%,52.2%) between the intervention group and the control group (Z/χ2=2.70,4.57,P<0.05).
Conclusions
Group counseling integrating teadrinking could improve interpersonal relationships, emotional states, selfesteem levels and coping strategies among college students. Group psychological counseling that incorporates teadrinking can be adopted to improve the mental health status of college students.

Objective:To analyze the interaction between obesity and diabetes, obesity and central obesity, central obesity and diabetes on hypertension.Methods:A questionnaire survey on 7 622 residents of Han Chinese ethnicity, aged 35-75 years, of Liangzhou district of Wuwei city were performed using multi-stage random sampling method in September to December 2018. Relative excess risk due to interaction, attributable proportion, synergy index, and 95% CI of the three were used to evaluate the additive interaction. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the multiplicative interaction. Results:Among the 7 622 residents, hypertension was detected in 3 212 residents, with a crude prevalence rate of 42.14% and a standardized incidence of 33.81%. There was a significant difference in incidence of hypertension between residents of different sexes, between residents at different ages, between obese residents and normal weight residents, between residents who had central obesity and those who had no central obesity, between residents who smoked and those who did not, between residents of different family economic situations, between residents who had different occupations, and between residents who had diabetes and those who had no diabetes (all P < 0.05). Getting primary, middle, and high school education was a protective factor against hypertension, while obesity, central obesity, diabetes, male gender, age greater than 45 years were the risk factors for hypertension. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there was no additive interaction between obesity and diabetes, obesity and central obesity, central obesity and diabetes on hypertension. There was a multiplicative interaction between obesity and central obesity on hypertension ( P = 0.031, 95% CI: 0.53-0.97) and the interaction was antagonistic, but there were no multiplicative interaction between obesity and diabetes, central obesity and diabetes on hypertension. Conclusion:There was a negative multiplicative interaction between obesity and central obesity on hypertension.

Objective:To observe any relationship between corticospinal tract integrity and the upper limb motor function of stroke survivors treated with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).Methods:Bilateral corticospinal tracts (CSTs) were reconstructed in ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke survivors with upper limb motor dysfunction using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Thirty patients with good CST integrity (rFA>0.5) and 30 with rFA≤0.5 were further divided into a high frequency rTMS group (HF, n=10), a low frequency group (LF, n=10), and a control group ( n=10). All groups were given routine rehabilitation, while the high and low frequency groups were additionally provided with 5Hz and 1Hz rTMS respectively applied over the M1 area of the contralesional hemisphere. Before and after 3 weeks of treatment, all of the subjects were evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer upper extremity scale (F-M UE), the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI). Results:For the high CST integrity group, significant improvement was observed in the average scores of all measurements, with the average FMA-UE, WMFT and MBI scores of the LF group [(38.10±5.71), (43.20±5.32) and (78.00±11.35)] significantly better than those of the other 2 groups. Among the low CST integrity group, the HF subgroup showed greater improvement than the other 2 on average.Conclusions:For patients with good CST integrity, LF-rTMS over the contralesional cortex is superior to HF-rTMS in promoting upper limb motor function, while for patients with low CST integrity HF-rTMS over the contralesional cortex has a better effect than LF-rTMS or sham stimulation in terms of improving upper limb motor function after a stroke.

【Objective】 To analyze the influence of β-lactam antibiotics on RBC aging and clearance by detecting various indicators of aging and clearance on RBCs, as well as the differences in phagocytosis for erythrocytes before and after drugs treated in vitro. 【Methods】 RBCs were treated by β-lactam antibiotics, including Penicillin, Cefepime, Cefoperazone and Ceftazidime, and the changing of phosphatidylserine (PS) and clearance related CD markers, including CD35, CD47, CD55 and CD59 on the surface of the RBCs, were detected by flow cytometry at 0h and 24h after drugs treatment. The proportion of acanthocytes by microscope also at 0h and 24h after drugs treatment was calculated. The phagocytosis of drug-treated RBC was detected by monocyte monolayer assay (MMA). Untreated RBCs were incubated in PBS by the same condition as a negative control.The influence of β-lactam antibiotics on RBC aging and clearance by all the results above was studied. 【Results】 Compare to the untreated RBCs, the drug treated RBCs showed a higher PS level on the cell surface. The results showed by percentage as following(0 h vs 24 h): Penicillin 9.42% vs 93.30%, Cefepime 3.88% vs 57.27%, Cefoperazone 4.71% vs 75.75% and Ceftazidime 3.05% vs 43.19%. The acanthocytes ratio was as following(0 h vs 24 h): Penicillin 7.33% vs 86%, Cefepime 2.67% vs 52.67%, Cefoperazone 3.33% vs 67.67% and Ceftazidime 3.33% vs 90.67%. On the opposite, the clearance related CD markers, showed an obviously lower level after drugs treated(0 h vs 24 h): CD35: Penicillin 7.36% vs 11.87%, Cefepime 0.14% vs 28.51%, Cefoperazone 11.85% vs 21.55% and Ceftazidime 7.63% vs 8.73%; CD47: Penicillin 1.22% vs 9.13%, Cefepime 1.80% vs 0.86%, Cefoperazone 0.08% vs 6.85% and Ceftazidime 1.54% vs 5.50%; CD55: Penicillin 14.46% vs 44.31%, Cefepime 17.27% vs 38.41%, Cefoperazone 19.28% vs 33.28% and Ceftazidime 14.62% vs 34.13%; CD59: Penicillin 4.71% vs 20.56%, Cefepime 4.03% vs 7.60%, Cefoperazone 5.91% vs 22.38% and Ceftazidime 5.93% vs 30.89%. Drug-treated RBCs attached more to monocytes than untreated RBCs. 【Conclusion】 The β-lactam antibiotics could induce the changing of PS and the clearance of related CD markers on surface of RBCs. They also could lead acanthocytes and make the RBCs more susceptible to phagocytosis by monocytes. The β-lactam antibiotics could promote the RBCs aging and clearance, which might deteriorate the DIIHA.

OBJECTIVETo investigate whether miR-492 is involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of OK blood group antigen expression on red blood cells.
METHODSTwo 3'-UTR fragments of the BSG gene were synthesized with a chemical method, which respectively encompassed the BSG rs8259 TT or BSG rs8259 AA sites. The fragments were added with Xho I and Not I restriction enzyme cutting sites at both ends and cloned into a pUC57 vector, which in turn was constructed into a psiCHECK-2 vector and verified by sequencing. K562 cells were transfected with various combinations of miR-492 mimic and constructed psiCHECK2-BSG-T or psiCHECK2-BSG-A recombinant plasmid. A blank control group was set up. Each transfection experiment was repeated three times. The activity of Renilla reniformis luciferase was determined and normalized with that of firefly luciferase, and detected with a dual-luciferase reporter assay system. The data were subjected to statistical analysis.
RESULTSThe sequencing results confirmed that the recombinant psiCHECK2 plasmids containing the BSG rs8259 TT or rs8259 AA sites were constructed successfully. The results of dual-luciferase report gene detection showed that the miR-492 mimic could significantly inhibit psiCHECK2-BSG-T at a concentration over 100 nmol/L. However, it could not inhibit psiCHECK-BSG-A.
CONCLUSIONmiR-492 may be involved in the regulation of OK antigen expression on red blood cells with the BSG rs8259 TT genotype.

Objective To observe the changes of cognition and auditory event-related potential P300 on vascular cognitive impairment-no dementia (VCIND) patients before and after cognitive rehabilitation training,then further to explore the application value of P300 in early diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). MethodsA total of 57 patients with VCIND were randomly assigned to the treatment group ( n =30) and the control group ( n =27),and 30 healthy volunteers without cognitive deficits were recruited as normal group.Each patient was examined with auditory-P300 and scored with mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scale.The measurement indicators were analyzed and evaluated with the factors of education,age and so on. ResultsThe P300 latency in VCIND group was longer,and the amplitude lower than those in normal group before treatment (P<0.05 ),the latency lengthening was more significant than the lowering of the amplitude ( P<0.01 ).The cognitive assessment scale scores of MMSE,MoCA and ADL (Barther index,BI) in VCIND group were lower than those in normal group (P<0.05),while no significant difference was revealed between the VCIND and normal groups with regard to naming and speech( P > 0.05 ).A highly positive correlation between age and P300 latency as well as a significantly negative correlation between years of education and P300 latency were demonstrated( P<0.05 ).After cognitive rehabilitation therapy the P300 latency in VCIND group was shortened,the amplitude increased (P<0.05 ),scores of the items of cognitive scale raised(P<0.05 ) and the change of each indicator was more statistically significant in treatment group(P<0.05). ConclusionP300 could objectively reflect early cognitive dysfunction in VCIND patients.Early cognitive training could effectively promote cognitive function of VCI patients.

Objective To explore possible mechanisms of the cross-over observed in stroke patients comple-ting a line bisection test. Methods Twenty-five stroke patients with left neglect and twenty normal subjects were studied.In the ordinary line bisection test,there are two papers presenting 20 mm and 100 mm lines respectively.On each paper,three lines with the same length are presented at the left,middle and right of the paper.In the line im-age test,the two papers are the same as in line bisection test,but here subjects are asked to set endpoints of each re-al line. Results Replicating earlier findings,length cross-over was observed in the patients with neglect.In the hline image test,those patients neglected lines on both sides but with a much larger proportion on the left.The patientsunderestimated long lines as in previous studies,but they also underestimated very short lines in contrast to earlier findings. Conclusion Foveal neglect sparing may explain these observations.For very short lines,the left end of the line falls into foveal vision and the left part of the line was not neglected.As a result,the crossover effect of line length occurs.
