ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the relationship between Adverse childhood experiences(ACEs) and depression in early adolescence, and to provide scientific basis for effectively coping with the impact of ACEs on adolescents’ mental health.@*Methods@#Stratified cluster sampling method was used to select adolescents in grade 6-8 in three middle schools of Shanghai during November and December of 2017. Adolescents were investigated anonymously using computer assisted self-interview approach via the tablets. Information including demographic characteristics, ACEs, and depression was collected. The chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore the relationship between ACEs and depression, after controlling potential confounders.@*Results@#Totally 1 629 eligible records were obtained. 65.25% of the respondents had experienced of neglect, followed by those abused(61.26%), and the incidence of family dysfunction was relatively low(20.81%). About 79.01% of the respondents had experienced at least one ACE, and more than half(61.45%) of the respondents had experienced at least two ACEs, and 10.01% of the respondents had experienced five or more ACEs. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that abuse and neglect experienced by male and female adolescents was associated with depression severity, with the OR values ranging from 2.62 to 3.60. Family dysfunction was found to be associated with depression only in male adolescents, with the OR of 1.91. The cumulative effect of ACE score on depression was observed.@*Conclusion@#Different types of ACEs in early adolescents are associated with depression, and ACEs have cumulative effects on depression severity.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe anatomy of the blood vessel arches and their blood circulation in the ileum and further establish surgical strategy for preventing excessive tonicity and ischemia of the ileum after anastomosis of the ileum pouch and the anal canal.MethodsThe blood vessel arches were dissected in the ileum of 45 corpses and their blood circulation routes were observed.ResultsThe 2-tier blood vessel arches were found in 2 cases (4％), the 3-tier blood vessel arches in 35 cases (78％), the 4-tier blood vessel arches in 5 cases (11％), and the 5-tier blood vessel arches in 3 cases (7％).ConclusionsUnder the right colic artery, curing the superior mesenteric artery and vein can release the length of the small intestines, prevent tonicity and ischemia of the ileum after anastomosis of the ileum pouch and the anal canal, and supply enough blood to the ileum by the 2 -5 tier blood vessels.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a kind of polypeptide growth factor possessing multifunctional biological activities,can protect neurons and promote the growth of nerves. It has been corfirmed that bFGF has therapeutic effects on retina ischemia/reperfusion injury (RIRI).OBJECTIVE: To establish RIRI model and analyze the effects of bFGF on cellular apoptosis of retina and the expression of regulatory gene protein.DESIGN: Randomized grouping and validating trial.SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted at the Research Laboratory of Pathology, Department of Ophthalmology, Medical College of Qingdao University, from April 2002 to December 2003. Twenty-eight healthy Wistar rats were enrolled in this experiment. Four rats were randomly chosen for normal control group, the left eyes of the other 24 rats were set as normal saline control group, and the right eyes were set as bFGF group.METHODS: Normal saline control group and bFGF group adopted the rat RIRI models established by transiently elevating intraocular pressure. Normal saline of 12 μL was injected into the vitreous cavity of the left eyes of the rats in normal control group. 12 μL bFGF was injected into the vitreous cavity of the right eyes of the rats in bFGF group, 4 rats once. No administration was given in normal control group. The expression of apoptotic cells was detected and apoptosis indexes were calculated with the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling (TUNEL) method and immunohistochemical staining method at the 1st, 6th,12th, 24th,48th and 72nd hours after reperfusion and ischemia for 1 hour.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The detection results of apoptotic cells in situ of retina tissuesat different time points after reperfusion. ②The expression of Fas and caspases-2 in retina tissues at different time points after reperfusion.RESULTS ① Comparison of apoptosis indexes of retina tissues at different time points after ischemia reperfusion: There were no apoptotic cells in the retina tissues of the rats in normal control group. As compared with those in normal saline control group, apoptosis indexes in bFGF group were significantly decreased at ischemia 1 hour and reperfusion 1, 6, 12, 24, 48and 72 hours, especially at the 12th, 24th and 48th hours after reperfusion (t =5.362-5.595, P ＜ 0.05). ② The change of Fas expression at different time points after ischemia reperfusion: There was hardly any Fas expression in normal control group. As compared with that in normal saline control group, Fas expression in bFGF group was significantlydecreased at ischemia 1 hour and reperfusion 1, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours, especially at the 6th, 12th and 24th hours after reperfusion (t=3.954-9.327, P ＜ 0.05). ③The changes of caspase-2 expression at different time points after ischemia reperfusion: There was no caspase-2 expression in normal control group.Compared with that in normal saline control group, the number of caspase2 positive cells in bFGF group was significantly decreased at the 6th,12th,24th, 48th and 72nd hours after ischemia for 1 hour and reperfusion (t=4.125-15.641, P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: bFGF can significantly inhibit the expression of apoptosis gene Fas and caspase-2 in the ischemia and reperfusion of retina, thus reducing cellular apoptosis of ganglion cells and exerting therapeutic effects on the ischemia and reperfusion of retina.
ABSTRACT
Aim This study aimed to assess the protection of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) in light-induced injuries in human retinal pigment epithelial(RPE)cells by researching the inhibition of rhEPO for apoptosis in human RPE cells by light-induced injuries.Methods Cultured human RPE cells were exposed to light of 8 w (2 000?500) lux for 12hours,then the culture were stopped at 24 hours after 12hours light stimulation. The effect of inhibiting apoptosis of rhEPO was detected by AnnexinV-flunorescein isothiocyanate/Propidium iodium labeling and flow cytometry. The enzyme linked immunosorbant assay(ELISA)and immunocytochemical staining were used to assess the expressions of caspase-3 and Bcl-2 treated by different doses of rhEPO in light-induced injury on human RPE cells and research the protective mechanism of rhEPO by adding AG490(the special inhibitor of Jak2).Results There was a obviously increased effects on inhibiting apoptosis in every rhEPO group, which was the most conspicuous in 40 IU?ml-1 rhEPO group,and the value was (4.93?1.45)?ml-1. The decrease of expression of caspase-3 was most obvious in 40 IU?ml-1 rhEPO group, and the value was (0.125?0.029) ?g?L-1. The increase of expression of Bcl-2 was the most obvious in 40 IU?ml-1 rhEPO group and the value was 168.21?3.87. But these effects on inhibiting apoptosis in rhEPO group were restrained by adding AG490, the value of apoptosis was (11.29?2.11)?ml-1 and the density of caspase-3 increased to (0.362?0.042) ?g?L-1,the expression of Bcl-2 dropped.Conclusion It is suggested that rhEPO can inhibit the apoptosis of human RPE cells in the light-induced injuries and inhibit the expression of caspase-3 and up-regulate the expression of Bcl-2, so rhEPO can protect the light-induced injuries for human RPE cells. Its protective mechanism is accomplished principally by the pathway of combining EPO with EPOR ,then the combination activates Jak2.
