RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the multiple mediation effects of the positive and negative affect between emotional intelligence and life satisfaction in military personnel.Methods:Totally 967 male military personnel aged 17 to 34 years were investigated with the Schutte's Emotional Intelligence Scale (SSEIS),the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and Life Satisfaction Index A (LSIA).The relationship among these variables was analyzed by using path analysis and Bootstrap test.Results:Totally 68.7% military personnel were satisfied with their lives.Path analysis showed that emotional intelligence had indirect effects on life satisfaction through the mediation effects of positive affect and negative affect (x2/df=8.88,GFI =0.98,AGFI =0.94,NFI =0.98,IFI =0.98,TLI =0.95,CFI =0.98,RMSEA =0.09).Bootstrap test showed that the mediational path through positive affect and negative affect with the effect size were 31.5% and 14.8%,and the total mediational effect size was 46.3%.Conclusion:It suggests that positive affect and negative affect may have mediating effects on the relationship between emotional intelligence and life satisfaction among military personnel.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the cause and treatment for ischemic ophthalmopathy after cataract phacoemulsification.Methods A total of 3000 patients with cataract underwent phacoemulsification were retrospectively analyzed,and 13 patients with ischemic ophthalmopathy.The ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) were in 8 cases,7 cases occurred in age related cataract,1 cases occurred in the dislocation of lens;The central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) were occurred in 5 cases,1 cases of age-related cataract,2 cases of congenital cataract,2 cases of traumatic cataract.The patients were diagnosed with fundus,visual field and fundus fluorescein angiography respectively,and then were treated with dilation of blood vessels,nutrition nerves and symptomatic treatment.Results The visual acuity in 6 cases with ION after the treatment were improved in different degrees;The visual acuity in 2 cases with CRAO after treatment were improved,3 cases was not recovered.Conclusion Ischemic ophthalmopathy caused by phacoemulsification cataract surgery may be related to the main vascular disease or optic nerve ischemia and hypoxia during operation,and with early detection and treatment,visual acuity can be improved to some extent.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the influence of curcumin and its analogue H8 on glucose and lipid metabolism disorder in db/db mice. Methods The type 2 diabetes mouse model (db/db mice) was intragastrically administrated with curcumin and analogue H8 for 8 weeks.The blood biochemical indexes were measured.The expression of PEPCK and G6Pase mRNA was detected by real-time PCR in liver tissues.The expression of PEPCK and G6Pase protein was detected by Western blotting. Results Curcumin analogue H8 reduced blood glucose and lipids in db/db mice (P<0.01) and improved liver function related enzymes significantly.The levels of PEPCK and G6Pase mRNA in db/db mice were significantly decreased (P<0.01) and the expression levels of PEPCK and G6Pase protein were significantly decreased(P<0.01). Conclusion Curcumin analogue H8 improves the glucose and lipid metabolism disorder in db/db mice,and it is related to inhibiting the expression of PEPCK and G6Pase gene and protein.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Numerous studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cel s (MSCs) can effectively attenuate the fibrosis of damaged heart, lung and kidney by secreting various bioactive factors. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the anti-fibrotic therapeutic potential of bone marrow MSCs conditioned media in vitro. METHODS:Normal fibroblasts and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were treated with bone marrow MSCs conditioned media, then transforming growth factor-βand col agen production were analyzed by ELISA, and mRNA expression level of Smad7 and hydroxyproline content were detected by RT-PCR and colorimetry, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow MSCs conditioned media significantly inhibited the production of both transforming growth factor-βand col agen in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (P<0. 01), and up-regulated the mRNA expression level of Smad7 (P<0. 01), a major inhibitory regulator in the SMAD family. However, the normal fibroblasts were scarcely influenced by bone marrow MSCs conditioned media. These findings indicate that bone marrow MSCs conditioned media is considered a promising candidate for the treatment of hypertrophic scars, which may provide new theoretical supports to reduce cutaneous scarring.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the mediation effect of adult attachment on the relationship between childhood trauma and borderline personality disorder(BPD) in recruits.Methods Childhood trauma questionnaire-28 short form (CTQ-SF),adult attachment scale (AAS) and personality diagnostic questionnaire-4+ (PDQ-4+) were administered to 1 750 recruits in the autumn of 2013.Results The scores of physical neglect,emotional neglect,emotional abuse,sexual abuse,physical abuse,attachment anxiety,attachment close and dependence and BPD were 11.05±3.04,10.00±3.54,6.73±2.32,5.92±2.06,5.83± 1.97,3.02 ± ±0.53,3.19±0.44,2.45± 2.04,respectively.BPD had significantly positive correlation with childhood trauma and attachment anxiety (r=0.353,0.284,P< 0.01),and significantly negative correlation with attachment close and dependence(r=-0.198,P<0.01).Childhood trauma,attachment close and dependence and attachment anxiety could positively predict BPD(F=142.172,P<0.01),which could explain 19.6% of the total variation.Structure equation model and Bootstrap test showed that childhood trauma not only directly predict BPD in recruits,but also indirectly predict BPD in recruit through attachment close and dependence and attachment anxiety (x2/df=11.472,RMSEA =0.077,NFI =0.943,RFI =0.901,IFI =0.948,TLI =0.902,CFI =0.948),and the mediational path through attachment close and dependence and attachment anxiety with the effect size were 10.8% and 8.1%,and the total mediational effect size was 18.9%.Conclusion Adult attachment exerts a multiple mediation effect on the relationship between childhood abuse and BPD in recruits.
RESUMEN
Objective Sex difference of the length ratios of metacarpals and metatarsals in Macaca mulatta from the Taihang mountains was studied in our laboratory. Methods The lengths of 27 metacarpals (10 males, 17 females) and 30 metatarsals(12 males, 18 females) were measured from the skeletons of 30 adult Macaca mulatta. Length ratios were constructed for all possible pairings of the five bones in each individual hand and foot. One-Way ANOVA adopting SPSS13.0 for windows was used to study the sex differences of length ratios of metacarpals and metatarsals. Results For Macaca mulatta, several of these lengths ratios exhibited substantial differences between the sexes. The metacarpal(Mc) length ratios showing the largest sex differences were 2Mc∶5Mc and 4Mc∶5Mc in both hands (P<0.01), and the metatarsal(Mt) length ratios showing the largest sex difference was 1Mt:3Mt in both feet (P<0.05). Conclusion The sex differences of metacarpals and metatarsals remained when specimens of similar size were compared. It showed that body size was not the basis for these sex differences. Various facts suggested that the sex difference of length ratios in primate metapodials was associated with sex hormones exposure, possibly during prenatal development.
