Association of Family Cohesion and Adaptability with Eating Behaviors of Preschoolers / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

ObjectiveTo examine the current status of preschoolers' eating behaviors and investigate its correlation with family cohesion and adaptability. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 21，954 preschoolers and their families from Pingshan District， Shenzhen， between September 2021 and December 2021. A general demographic questionnaire， the Chinese version of Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale Ⅱ （FACESⅡ-CV） and Chinese Preschoolers’ Eating Behavior Questionnaire （CPEBQ） were used to collect the relevant information. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the association of family cohesion and adaptability with eating behaviors of preschoolers. ResultsTypes of family cohesion and adaptability were significantly correlated with all the 7 dimensions of preschoolers' eating behaviors， including food fussiness （R2=0.252， F=114.457， P<0.001）， food responsiveness （R2 = 0.111， F =24.973， P<0.001）， eating habit （R2= 0.304， F =139.658， P<0.001）， satiety responsiveness （R2 = 0.259， F =105.332， P<0.001）， external eating （R2 = 0.182， F =50.150， P<0.001）， emotional eating （R2 = 0.234， F =91.084， P<0.001） and initiative eating （R2 = 0.349， F =168.608， P<0.001）. After adjusting for confounding factors， our study showed that types of family cohesion and adaptability were independent predictors of preschoolers' eating behaviors （P<0.05）. ConclusionsTypes of family cohesion and adaptability have a significant predictive effect on the 7 dimensions of preschoolers' eating behaviors. Higher scores of family cohesion and adaptability imply stronger initiative eating ability and less poor dietary behaviors in preschoolers.

Inhibitions of SphK1 inhibitor SKI II on cell cycle progression and cell invasion of hepatoma HepG2 cells / 药学学报

Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) plays critical roles in cell biological functions. Here we investigated the effects of SphK1 inhibitor SKI II on hepatoma HepG2 cell cycle progression and invasion. Cell survival was determined by SRB assay, cell cycle progression was assayed by flow cytometry, the ability of cell invasion was measured by Matrigel-Transwell assay and protein expression was detected by Western blotting. The results showed that SKI II markedly inhibited HepG2 cell survival in a dose-dependent manner, induced G1 phase arrest in HepG2 cell and inhibited cell invasion. SKI II markedly decreased the expressions of G1-phase-related proteins CDK2, CDK4 and Cdc2 and the levels of cell invasion-associated proteins MMP2 and MMP9. The results showed that SKI II inhibited cell cycle progression and cell invasion, implying SphK1 as a potential target for hepatoma treatment.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of cycloberberine as anti-cancer agent / 药学学报

A series of cycloberberine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-cancer activities in vitro. Among these analogs, compounds 6c, 6e and 6g showed strong inhibition on human HepG2 cells. They afforded a potent effect against DOX-resistant MCF-7 breast cells as well. The primary mechanism showed that cell cycle was blocked at G2/M phase of HepG2 cells treated with 6g using flow cytometry assay. It significantly inhibited the activity of DNA Top I at the concentration of 0.1 mg mL-1. Our results provided a basis for the development of this kind of compounds as novel anti-cancer agents.

Sphingosine kinase 1 and tumor / 药学学报

Sphingolipids as an important regulator play a critical role in the cell biological functions. Among them, ceramide (Cer) and sphingosine (Sph) induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation; on the contrary sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) promotes cell survival and proliferation. The balance between ceramide/sphingosine and S1P forms a so-called "sphingolipid-rheostat", which decides the cell fate. Sphingosine kinases, which catalyze the phosphorylation of sphingosine to S1P, are critical regulators of this balance. Here, we review the role of sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) in regulating fundamental biological processes and tumorigenesis and the potential of SphK1 as a new target for cancer therapeutics.

study of [131] iodine labeling of indomethacin, its in vivo biological distribution in Lewis-bearing lung cancer, and its induction of apoptosis in lung cancer

To study the synthesis of [131] iodine [I] labeled histamine-indomethacin [His-IN], its in vivo distribution in Lewis-bearing mice, and its effects on suppression of Lewis lung cancer growth and induction of apoptosis. The present study was carried out in the Experimental Research Center, Sheng Jing Hospital of China Medical University Hospital, Shenyang China between December 2008 and October 2009. Chemical synthesis of His-IN was carried out. Ninety-five C57 mice were allocated into 12 groups, and a series of experiments including the in vivo biological distribution of [131] I-His-IN in C57 mice bearing Lewis lung cancer was explored, and the therapeutic effects of IN and [131] I-His-IN in lung cancer-bearing mice were assessed through tumor suppression experiments, flow cytometry, and detection of tumor necrosis factor. The [131] I-His-IN radionuclide count ratio of the tumor site and surrounding region significantly increased with time, namely, the retention time of [131] I-His-IN radionuclide was longer in the tumor site. A 3.0 mg/kg and 3.5 mg/kg [131] I-His-IN, as well as 3.0 mg/kg and 3.5 mg/kg IN all had tumor suppression and apoptosis induction effects on tumors, among which the 3.5 mg/kg [131] I-His-IN group had significant differences compared with all other groups. The [131] I-His-IN not only retains the tumor-affinity property of IN, the synergistic effect of these 2 also enhances the tumor suppression and pro-apoptotic function

Color Doppler flow imaging diagnosis and treatment selection for erectile dysfunction / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Targeted therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) involves fewer screening tests and provides a variety of treatment choices for patients. Although the advantage of targeted therapy in diagnosis and therapy for ED has been recognized, the rational mode for oriented ED therapy has not been established. This study aimed to investigate targeted diagnosis and therapy for ED.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 198 patients with ED were included in the study. After intracavernosal vasoactive agent injection was given, color Doppler flow imaging was performed and penile rigidity was classified as Schramek grade 5 (10 minutes duration), grade 4 (10 minutes duration), grade 3 and grade 2, defining four patient groups as group V (143 cases), group IV (23 cases), group III (18 cases), and group II (14 cases). Appropriate and acceptable treatment was recommended to patients according to erection grade.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In 198 patients with ED, the peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity, and resistance index in the cavernosal artery and dorsal artery and the flow velocity in the deep dorsal vein were not significantly different before injection (P > 0.05). After injection, peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity, and resistance index in the cavernosal artery were different among the four groups (P < 0.05). Between each two groups, the difference in resistance index was significant (P < 0.05). The statistical differences in other indexes were not significant (P > 0.05). Selective targeted therapy based on erection grade by color Doppler flow imaging improved the clinical satisfaction rate to 91.91% (182/198).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Based on the routine diagnosis of ED, blood flow indexes in the cavernosal artery are measured by color Doppler flow imaging following minimally invasive intercavernosal injection, which is combined with the Schramek grade of erection. The most appropriate and acceptable treatment is recommended according to the different groups, which improves the clinical satisfaction of treatment for ED and is an ideal model of targeted diagnosis and treatment.</p>

Pathological changes of the cornea in rabbits with hyphema and concurrent ocular hypertension / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the impact of hyphema secondary to high intraocular pressure on corneal pathology in rabbits.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty adult New Zealand rabbit were randomized into 3 equal groups, and in each rabbit, one eye served as the experimental eye with the other as the control eye. In the experimental eye, autoblood was injected into the anterior chamber to induce high intraocular pressure maintained for 3, 5, or 8 days. Only saline was injected into the control eye. After the injections, the cornea was observed with slit-lamp microscopy, and at 3, 5, or 8 days, the experimental and control eyes were taken from the 3 groups for microscopic examination of the corneas to detect the occurrence of cornea bloodstain with prolonged high intraocular pressure. Corneal edema, elastic fibers changes, growth of new blood vessels, changes of eosinophils, fibroblasts, lymphocytes and plasma cells, as well as the pathological changes of the corneal layers were observed and compared between the experimental and control eyes.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Maintenance of high intraocular pressure for 8 days resulted in the most severe corneal edema and thickening, and histopathologically, the corneal stroma showed widened space between the elastic fibers and obvious fiber distortion. Neovascularization was seen in the marginal cornea where eosinophil infiltration occurred with a small number of lymphocytes, plasma cells and fiber cells. All the three groups showed more obvious edema in the posterior than in the anterior cornea.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Prolonged hyphema with ocular hypertension results in aggravation of corneal edema, and corneal blood staining does not occur until 8 days of high intraocular pressure but corneal elastic fiber disruption can be seen, suggesting the impending irreversible pathological changes of cornea.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the clinical therapeutic effect and complications of laparoscopic radical cystectomy with orthotopic ileal neobladder (LRC-INB) with open radical cystectomy with orthotopic ileal neobladder (ORC-INB).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 171 patients were evaluated, including 63 cases with ORC-INB and 108 cases with LRC-INB from June 1994 to May 2007 at our institution. The parameters analyzed included perioperative data, postoperative complications, new bladder function and effect of tumor control.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics of patients between these 2 groups. The mean operating time was 330 min in the LRC group and 310 min in the ORC group (P > 0.05). The mean blood loss was 320 ml in the LRC group and 1100 ml in ORC group (P < 0.001). The mean oral intake after operation was 2.4 days for LRC group and 4.5 days for ORC group (P < 0.001). No perioperative death was occurred in both groups. The complication rate was 18.5% in LRC group, while 30.0% in ORC group (P < 0.05). Twelve months after operation, the day-time and night-time continence rate were 90.7% and 82.6% for the LRC group, 88.3% and 81.6% for the ORC group respectively (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference of VOL, pressure and residual urine volume (RUV) of neobladder between these 2 groups. Surgical margin were tumor free for 107 cases except one T4 case in laparoscopic group had positive margin (P > 0.05). The mean number of removed lymph node were 12 and 8 in LRC and ORC group respectively (P < 0.05). The 2 years tumor free survival rate of the same stage or grade was no significant different (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>LCR had advantages of less blood loss, shorter oral intake time, less postoperative complications, comparable continent rate and short-term tumor control with ORC. Long-term follow up is needed to confirm the oncological outcome.</p>

Laparoscopic radical cystectomy with orthotopic ileal neobladder in the female: report of 14 cases / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Bladder carcinoma is the most common malignant urological tumor in China. We present our preliminary experience and results of laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) with orthotopic ileal neobladder in female patients with bladder carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From February 2003 to February 2008, 14 female patients with bladder carcinoma underwent LRC with orthotopic ileal neobladder. Nine of these patients underwent hysterectomy and ovariectomy, and the other 5 had preservation of the uterus and ovarian appendage. Standard bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy was followed by radical cystectomy that was completed laparoscopically with hysterectomy and ovariectomy when needed. The tumor was removed by a 4 - 5 cm lower midline abdominal incision, followed by the construction of ileal neobladder and the extracorporeal anastomosis of ureter-neobladder. The neobladder was anastomosed to the urethral stump under a laparoscope.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mean operative time and blood loss in the 14 patients were 350.2 minutes and 349.8 ml, respectively. Postoperative complications included uretero-pouch anastomotic stricture in 1 patient and pouch-vaginal fistula in 1 patient. Follow-up time of all patients ranged from 3 to 60 months, and 12 patients were followed up for more than 6 months and achieved micturition in half a year. One patient had occasional day-time urinary incontinence and 2 had night-time incontinence. Two patients who had undergone hysterectomy and ovariectomy had voiding difficulties after one year, which was treated by intermittent self-catheterization. The mean volume of the neobladder and the residual urine were 333.6 ml and 31.2 ml, respectively. Surgical margins were tumor free for all patients. One patient had bone metastasis and died 11 months after the operation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>LRC with orthotopic ileal neobladder in female patients is a technically feasible, safe and mini-invasive procedure with a low morbidity and acceptable neobladder function. Long-term follow-up is required to confirm the neobladder function and oncological outcomes.</p>

The immune-enhancing effect of Ar-He targeted cryoablation for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer / 肿瘤

Objective: To investigate immune-regulating effects of Ar-He targeted cryoablation for the treatment of the advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: One hundred NSCLC patients were enrolled in this study. The serum levels of IL-2, TNF-α and IL-12 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and 10 days after Ar-He targeted cryoablation. Low-density mononuclear cells (NINC) were separated by Ficoll-Hypaque as effector cells. Human lung cancer SPC-A1 and K562 cells were selected as target cells. The activities of natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) were determined by MTT assay. Results: Of the 100 patients, 3 cases achieved complete remission (CR), 34 cases achieved > 50% remission (PR), 47 cases had stable disease (SD), and 16 cases had progressive disease (PD). The one-year survival rate was 43% and the median survival time to progression was 4 months. The non specific tumor-killing ability of NK cells increased by 83% and the specific tumor-killing activity of CTL increased by 67%. The serum levels of IL-2, TNF-α, and IL-12 were elevated significantly. The positive expression of CD3+ and CD4+ on T cells and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ also increased. Conclusion: The effectiveness of Ar-He targeted cryoablation for the local treatment of NSCLC could be observed by imaging analysis. Ar-He targeted cryoablation regulates and stimulates self immunological function of NSCLC patients. Ar-He targeted cryoablation provides an effective method especially for old and surgery nontolerant patients.

Process evaluation on a health promotion model regarding smoking prevention among Chinese secondary school students / 中华流行病学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the process of smoking prevention and control among Chinese adolescent with a model on health promotion in junior high school.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A cluster-randomized, controlled and schooled-based trial on smoking prevention was conducted among 2343 students at four secondary schools in Huangpu District of Guangzhou. Students 'reports and investigators' daily records were used to evaluate the intervention measures.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>During the one-year period of intervention (Dec. 2004 through Dec. 2005), eighteen activities had been implemented among students, teachers, parents and cigarette retailers. Ranked by the rate of awareness, the top six activities were shown as follows: "the nicotine toxicity experiment" (90.7%), "agreement of building families free of smoking"(77.7%), "a letter to parents" (77.1%), "no-smoking signs" (76.5%), "Blackboard information about health and smoking" (75.0%), and "signature on the 18th World Day of No Smoking" (70.2%). Among all the activities, "the nicotine toxicity experiment" had the highest rate of participation (88.5%), followed by "a letter to parents" (73.6%), "agreement of building families free of smoking" (69.8%), "health education through experiments"(68.6%), "health education through multimedia" (65.7%) and "signature on the 18th World Day of No Smoking" (65.6%). The top seven activities in which students showed greatest interests were "the nicotine toxicity experiment" (64.5%), "signature on the 18th World Day of No Smoking" (33.0%), "health education through experiments" (31.2%), "health education through multimedia" (29.8%), "class meetings with a thesis of smoking" (26.8%), "health pamphlets" (26.6%), "specific textbooks" (25.9%). The extent of students' general satisfaction to the work of tobacco control in school during the last year was 52.4%. The biggest perceived shortcoming for the intervention plan was the low participation of students.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Some intervention measures had not been fully carried out among the students and only covered part of them. It is necessary to adjust the previous intervention measures through keeping the nicotine toxicity experiment, health education through multimedia and other measures with extensive participation of students and at the same time, to avoid literal materials, exhibition boards and traditional single-way health education program.</p>

A multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the association between psychological stress, fatigue and different smoking behaviors with 'non-smokers' defined as control group while 'triers' and 'current smokers' as case group, respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were students trying to smoke or becoming current smokers on university campus. After adjusting the effect of relevant socio-demographic factors and peer smoking behavior, physical fatigue (OR = 1.044, 95% CI: 1.013-1.075) and 'worry about current academic and future work' (OR = 1.020, 95% CI: 1.001-1.040) were the risk factors of trying to smoke among male students, while 'study stress (OR = 1.063,95% CI: 1.012-1.117) was the risk factor for female students when start smoking. 'Personnel relationship and environment stress' (OR = 1.152, 95% CI: 1.012-1.312) were the risk factors for female students' current smoking behavior.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Psychological stress and fatigue were moderately associated with smoking behavior among undergraduate students and the impact was different on different gender and smoking behaviors that suggesting that some specific psychological measures should be taken so as to control different smoking behaviors among undergraduate students.</p>

Analysis on factors influencing the smoking behaviors among male secondary school students under the structural equation model / 中华流行病学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the direct and indirect outcomes of influencing factors on smoking behaviors among adolescents.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect smoking-related information from 2021 respondents. Measurement models were built by confirmatory factor analysis and parameters were estimated by ERLS method. The final structural equation model was determined by comprehensive evaluation and necessary modification.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Three latent variables were extracted from 10 manifest variables of environment, while only one latent variable was identified from 9 manifest variables of attitudes. The goodness of fit for the structural equation model was satisfactory that all indices had met corresponding requirements. The final model could explain 38.8% of the variance of smoking behaviors. Four factors (smoking environment, smoking restriction from parents and teachers, determination of cigarette refusal and attitudes toward smoking) were directly affecting the smoking behaviors, while another three factors (grade, health knowledge and school environment) had indirect impacts. According to the percentages of their contribution, the risk factors were ranked as follows: smoking environment (45.76%), attitudes toward smoking (19.88%) and grade at school (0.44%). Similarly, the top protective factor were: determination of cigarette refusal (16.61%), followed by smoking restriction from parents and teachers (10.51%), health knowledge (3.89%) and school environment (2.92%).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Heath knowledge had minor effect on smoking in adolescents but could indirectly affect their smoking behaviors through changing their belief. Grade at school had a doubled influence on smoking, but mainly served as a risk factor. Tobacco control measures for adolescents should not only be limited to health education but environment factors as well.</p>

Study on the related factors of smoking behavior transition at different stages among undergraduate students / 中华流行病学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the influencing factors of smoking behavior transition at different stage of smoking among undergraduate students.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>8138 undergraduate students from grade 1 to 3 were selected using cluster sampling method from an university in Guangzhou with their smoking behaviors and relevant factors studied through a self-administered questionnaire. Beginners, un-regular smokers and regular smokers were defined as "case group", while non-smokers, beginners and un-regular smokers were defined as "control group" accordingly. Three multivariable logistic regressions were separately conducted to explore the influencing factors of behavioral transition at different stage of smoking.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 8138 students investigated, the prevalence rates of beginners, un-regular smokers and regular smokers were 19.6%, 2.0% and 1.1%, respectively; while all of the above said three rates increased with grades of the students. Some students might still try to smoke or become regular smoker in the university. In male undergraduate students, determinants for the transition from non-smokers to s mokers were: source of students, father' s educational level, smoking-related knowledge and belief, and smoking habit of the roommates. Risks that influencing the transition from beginners to un-regular smokers were: being non-medical students,smoking-related belief, roommates and classmates who were smokers and transition from un-regular smokers to regular smokers would include father' s educational level and average income of family. In female undergraduate students,influencing factors from non-smokers to beginners were mother's educational level, smoking-related belief, and roommates smokers, while father's educational level, roommates and classmates' smoking habits were significant associated with beginners' change to un-regular smokers.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The influencing factors related to the transition of different stage on smoking would be different in undergraduate students,and some specific measures should be taken based on the different stage of smoking.</p>
