ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the symptoms of depression and anxiety among rural returning adolescents and to analyze their association with physical activity related factors, so as to provide reference for interventions targeting depression and anxiety symtoms in the population.@*Methods@#From April to June 2020, 3 495 middle school students were selected from 6 counties and districts of Shangrao City by random cluster stratified sampling sampling. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) were used to evaluate the depressive and anxiety symptoms among middle school students. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess their physical activity levels during the past week. Chi square test and Logistic regression analysis were used to determine the strength of the association between depression and anxiety symptoms and physical activity related factors in returning and non returning adolescents as well as the overall population.@*Results@#Univariate analysis showed significant differences in the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms between rural returning and non returning adolescents and the overall population in terms of "type of school" "family economic situation" "parental occupation" "number of sports classes per week" and "level of physical activity per week" ( χ 2=78.21, 16.56, 135.44, 107.75, 7.10, 8.62; 97.94, 24.26 , 124.07, 90.36, 9.60, 8.34, P <0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed a correlation between the occurrence of depression and the number of sports classes per week for rural returning and non returning adolescents and the overall population (number of sports classes per week for non returning was 2 times, OR=1.22, 95%CI =1.01-1.49; returning adolescents for 1 time, OR=1.85, 95%CI =1.06-3.23; the overall population for 1 time, OR=1.34, 95%CI =1.01-1.77 and 2 times, OR=1.20, 95%CI =1.01-1.43, P <0.05). There was a correlation between anxiety symptoms and the number of sports classes per week for returning adolescents (number of sports classes per week for returning adolescents was 1 time, OR=2.10, 95%CI=1.21-3.63, P < 0.05 ).@*Conclusion@#A low frequency of weekly sports classes may be a risk factor for depressive or anxiety symptoms in rural and returning adolescents. Rural primary and secondary schools should appropriately increase the number of physical education courses or arrange sports extended classes to promote the development of adolescent mental health.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To evaluate the effect of multi-disciplinary patient blood management(PBM) on perioperative blood transfusion in patients with cardiothoracic surgery of gradeⅢ~Ⅳ. 【Methods】 The blood transfusion data and relevant clinical information of adult patients underwent grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ cardiothoracic surgeries before and after PBM (from January 2016 to December 2018)in our hospital were collected using Hospital Information System and Management System of Blood Transfusion Department. Patients were grouped according to three separate12-month periods: 933 cases subjected to conventional blood transfusion practice from Jan. to Dec.2016 as the control group, 1 139 cases experienced initial implement PBM(started on Jan.1, 2017)from Jan. to Dec.2017 as the early PBM group, and 1 411 cases received improved PBM from Jan. to Dec.2018 as the improved PBM group. The perioperative autotransfusion rate, allogeneic transfusion rate, length of hospital stay and hospitalization expenses of the three groups were compared by χ2 test and variance analysis. 【Results】 The comparison results among control group, early PBM group and improved PBM group were as following: 1) The proportion of patients using iron and EPO to treat preoperative anemia were 15.12%(44/291)vs 19.73%(72/365)vs 26.65%(125/469)(P<0.01) and 10.31%(30/291)vs 12.33%(40/365)vs 15.57%(73/469)(P<0.05), respectively. 2) The incidence of autotransfusion were 57.98%(541/933)vs 44.76%(544/1 139)vs 37.00%(522/1 411)(P<0.01). The allogeneic transfusion volume per capita(U) were 351.91±35.85 vs 392.76±43.33 vs 421.75±73.84(P<0.05). The incidence of allogeneic blood transfusion were 18.11%(169/933)vs 17.56%(200/1 139)vs 13.32%(188/1 411)(P<0.01). The allogeneic blood transfusion volume per capita (U) were 6.56±8.33 vs 5.52±6.28 vs 5.56±6.17(P<0.01). 3) The per capita hospital stay (d) and ICU stay (d) were19.54±16.56 vs 16.46±12.06 vs 15.11±10.18 and 4.45±9.31 vs 3.56±6.93 vs 3.26±5.29(P<0.05), respectively. The per capita hospitalization expenses (ten thousand yuan/person) were 10.76±8.39 vs 9.58±7.58 vs 9.13±5.9(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The application of PBM in perioperative blood transfusionfor adult cardiothoracic surgery Ⅲ ~ Ⅳcan significantly decrease the incidence of autologous and allogeneic blood transfusion, the length of hospitalstay and hospitalization expenses.
ABSTRACT
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that causes severe disease when the infection occurs during pregnancy. Adenosine is a purine nucleoside involved in numerous physiological processes; however, the role of adenosine receptors in T. gondii-induced trophoblast cell function has not been investigated until now. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the intracellular signaling pathways regulated by adenosine receptors using a HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cell model of T. gondii infection. HTR8/SVneo human extravillous trophoblast cells were infected with or without T. gondii and then evaluated for cell morphology, intracellular proliferation of the parasite, adenosine receptor expression, TNF-α production and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling pathways triggered by adenosine A3 receptor (A3AR). HTR8/SVneo cells infected with T. gondii exhibited an altered cytoskeletal changes, an increased infection rate and reduced viability in an infection time-dependent manner. T. gondii significantly promoted increased TNF-α production, A3AR protein levels and p38, ERK1/2 and JNK phosphorylation compared to those observed in uninfected control cells. Moreover, the inhibition of A3AR by A3AR siRNA transfection apparently suppressed the T. gondii infection-mediated upregulation of TNF-α, A3AR production and MAPK activation. In addition, T. gondii-promoted TNF-α secretion was dramatically attenuated by pretreatment with PD098059 or SP600125. These results indicate that A3AR-mediated activation of ERK1/2 and JNK positively regulates TNF-α secretion in T. gondii-infected HTR8/SVneo cells.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Lycium barbarum polysaccharide, the main active component of leaves of lycium barbarum, has a remarkable therapeutic effect on osteoporosis in adult ovariectomized female rats. OBJECTIVE:To explore effects of leaves ofLycium barbarum on serum estradiol and bone estrogen receptor expressions in adult oxariectomized female rats. METHODS: Thirty-two 6-month-od female rats were randomized into sham-surgery, model, and treatment groups, respectively. Rat models of postmenopausal osteoporosis were induced by ovariotomy folowed by oraly administration of water solution of leaves ofLycium barbarum (500 or 1 000 mg/kg) or distiled water once daily for consecutive 12 weeks in treatment and model groups, respectively. Serum estradiol level was detected by radiation immunoassaymethod. Estrogen receptor α, β immunoreactivities in bone tissue were determined by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Serum estradiol level in the model group was significantly decreased compared with the sham-surgery group (P < 0.01), but that was significantly increased in the treatment groups, particularly at high dose, compared with the model group (P< 0.01). Estrogen receptor α, βimmunoreactivities were weaker in the model group than the sham-surgery group (P < 0.01), and those were stronger in the treatment groups than the model group (P < 0.01). Our results suggest that leaves of Lycium barbarum treat osteoporosis through enhancing serum estradiol and estrogen receptor expressions in adult ovariectomized rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To To evaluate the efficacy of Guglielmidetachable coil (GDC)F embolization in treatment of intracranial aneurysms and summarize the main points of GDC manipulation.Methods Thirty two patients were examined with digital substraction angiography (DSA) and 34 intracranial aneurysms were found, including 15 aneurysms in the anterior communication artery, 13 in the posterior communi cation artery, 2 in the middle cerebral a rtery, 1 in the anterior cerebral artery and 1 Ophthalmic artery. After wards GDC was used for embolization therapy. Results Thirty two patients with 34 aneurysms were successfully embolized with GDCs. Complete embolization achieved in 20 patients and incomplete in 12 patients; while one aneurysm ruptured during the performance, but all curedafter treatment. Vas cular spasm occurred in 2 patients, one of them had slight hemiplegia. Sixpatients with 7 aneurysms were followed up by DSA examinationl year after operation. No obvious change was observed.Conclusions Treatment of intracranial aneurysms with GDC embolization is a safe, reliable, and effective measure. Skillful techniques of the operator and correct management of complications are important factors affecting the outcome of operation. A period follow up is essential to patients with partial embolism.
