Conclusions Childhood abuse experience and adulthood depression are closely related to the implementation of cyberbullying behavior in college, and depression plays part of mediating role in predicting the implementation of cyberbullying behavior in college students who has childhood abuse experience.

Comparative study of differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from orofacial system into vascular endothelial cells / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the proliferation and capacity of differentiation to vascular endothelial cells and angiogenesis induction among stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED), dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) from orofacial bone.@*METHODS@#SHED and DPSC were isolated from pulp tissue of the patients. BMSC were isolated from orthognathic or alveolar surgical sites. The surface markers of the cells were detected by flowcytometry. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assays were conducted to detect the proliferation ability of the cells. The cells were induced into endothelial cells with conditional medium and then the induced cells were cultured in Matrigel medium. The expression of angiogenesis-related genes such as platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1/CD31), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and von Willebrand Factor (vWF) were quantified by real-time PCR. The cells were cultured in chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) and the vessels were counted after 5 days.@*RESULTS@#The cell surface markers CD73, CD90, CD105 and CD146 of all the stem cells were positive, CD34 and CD45 were negative. The CD146 positive rate of SHED and DPSC was higher than that of BMSC. SHED had a higher proliferation rate than DPSC and BMSC. After angiogenic induction for 14 d, 3 kinds of cells emanated pseudopodia formed grid structure long vasculature in Matrigel media. The total length of tube formation of induced BMSC (7 759.7 μm) and SHED (7 734.3 μm) was higher than DPSC (5 541.0 μm). The meshes number of induced SHED (70.7) was higher than DPSC (60) and BMSC (53.7) in Matrigel medium. The expression of CD31, VEGFR2 and vWF genes of SHED were higher than those of BMSC and DPSC. VEGFR1 gene expression of BMSC was higher than that of the other groups, and SHED was higher than DPSC. The expression of VEGF showed no difference among the cells. No deference was showed between the effect of the stem cells and negative control on new formed vessels in CAM. The total length of vessels of SHED (30.4 mm) was higher than that of the negative control (20.9 mm) and BMSC (28.0 mm).@*CONCLUSION@#SHED, DPSC and BMSC can differentiate into vascular endothelial cells. SHED showed a stronger angiogenesis differentiation and proliferation potential compared with DPSC and BMSC.

Cost Management Analysis of Public Hospitals Under Comprehensive Budget Management / 中国医院管理

Cost management is an indispensable part of the economic management of public hospitals,but there are still some problems in the cost control of public hospitals in China.The work of budget management and cost accounting just stays on the surface.Hospitals are running on a large scale and spending too much to make waste.Rules and regulations are incomplete.Staff awareness of cost control is indifferent.The internal audit supervision mechanism is incomplete.Establishing comprehensive budget management is helpful for hospital managers to make decisions,which can effectively improve the cost consciousness of all staff in hospitals,and reduce the management cost of hospital.The goal of cost control should be clearly defined in public hospitals.Hospitals should improve the rules and regulations of cost control.The capital structure of the hospital and the efficiency of fund utilization should be improved.The management of human cost should be taken into account and the idea of cost control should be established.Internal audit supervision should be strengthened.

Roles of integrin αvβ3 in SDF-1/CXCR4-induced choroidal neovascularization / 眼科新进展

Objective To explore the role of integrin αvβ3 in the promotion of the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) by SDF-1/CXCR4.Methods This study was divided into two parts in vitro and in vivo.As for the in vivo study,a CNV model was induced by laser on C57BL/6J mice,and then assigned into 4 groups:mice with solely CNV modeling as control group,with intravitreal injection of SDF-1 after immediate CNV modeling as SDF-1 group,with intravitreal injection of SDF-1 + CXCR4 inhibitor (AMD3100) after CNV modeling as SDF-1 + AMD3100 group,and mice with intravitreal injection of SDF-1 + αvβ3 inhibitor (SB273005) after modeling as SDF-1 + SB273005 group.CXCR4 and αvβ3 expression levels in laser-induced eyes were quantified by qRT-PCR at time points of day 1,3,5,7,10 and 14 after modeling,and immunofluorescence staining was applied to detect αvβ3 expression in regional CNV and its endothelial cells in the four groups.Finally,OCT was used to observe the height of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) layers in CNV after treatment in the four groups.Moreover,in the experiment in vitro,Western blot was used to measure the expression of CXCR4 protein of RF/6A cells in normal control group,Si-CXCR4 knockdown group and Si-NC knockdown model group.Meanwhile,the expression of integrin subunit β3 protein was determined in the normal control group,SDF-1 group,SDF-1 + AMD3100group,SDF-1 + Si-NC group and SDF-1 + Si-CXCR4 group.Transwell assay was conducted to detect the migration ability of RF/6A cells in the normal control group,SDF-1group,SDF-1 +AMD3100 group,SDF-1 + SB273005 group.Results On the one hand,the study in vivo,qRT-PCR showed that the expression of CXCR4 and integrin subunit β3 mRNA was up-regulated at first,and then down-regulated with time passed after CNV induction,with the highest expression level of CXCR4 mRNA (4.263 ± 0.464) on day 3,and the peak expression of β3 mRNA (3.678 ±0.364) on day 7 after CNV modeling.The results of immunofluorescence staining showed that the β3 fluorescence intensity of SDF-1 group was significantly enhanced,and the ratio of β3/CD31 was also significantly increased,which both were significantly higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.01).However,the β3 fluorescence intensity and β3/CD31 ratio of SDF-1 +AMD3100 group and SDF-1 + SB273005 group were significantly weakened and decreased,respectively (P ＜0.05).OCT showed that the elevation level of RPE layer inSDF-1 group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(135.503 ± 10.301) μm vs.(94.443 ± 12.156) μm](P＜0.05).The height of RPE uplift in SDF-1 + AMD3100 group [(95.283 ±20.062) μm] and SDF-1 + SB273005 group [(99.807 ± 10.403) μm] was significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05).On the other hand,in experiment in vitro,Western blot showed that the expression levels of integrin β3 in SDF-1 group and SDF-1 + Si-NC group were significantly higher than those in the control group [(1.301 ± 0.043) and (1.273 ± 0.077) vs.(0.244 ± 0.069)] (P ＜ 0.01).The levels of integrin subunit β3 protein in SDF-1 + si-CXCR4 group (0.322 ± 0.042) and SDF-1 + AMD3100 group (0.336 ± 0.077) were significantly down-regulated (P ＜ 0.01).Transwell assay showed that the amount of migrating cells in SDF-1 group increased,which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.01),while the number of migrating cells in SDF-1 +AMD3100 group and SDF-1 + SB273005 group was significantly decreased.Conclusion Integrin αvβ3 can promote the development of CNV by mediating SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling in endothelial cells.

Comparison between Bilateral and Unilateral Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (BSSHL) is rare and assumed to be a different clinical entity compared to unilateral SSHL (USSHL). This study examined the differences between the idiopathic BSSHL and USSHL.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty-six sequential BSSHL patients (Se-BSSHL) and 68 simultaneous BSSHL (Si-BSSHL) were consecutively admitted between June 2008 and December 2015. Two sets of patients served as control groups: (1) USSHL patients with healthy contralateral ear and (2) USSHL patients with contralateral preexisting hearing loss (USSHLwCHL). We retrospectively analyzed differences among four cohorts using analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test, Welch's t-test, and Chi-square test as appropriate before and after propensity score matching (PSM) based on age, gender, and body mass index (BMI).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The prevalence of idiopathic BSSHL was 8.6% (114/1329) among the total SSHL patients. In the total cohort, USSHL patients tended to be younger, female, and tended to have lower BMI, renal parameters, and total cholesterol in addition to higher high-density lipoprotein compared to the other three groups. Most routine blood indicators, some coagulation markers, and immunoglobulin M (H = 13.4, P = 0.004) were significantly different among the study groups. After PSM, the major significant differences were found in audiometric characteristics. Si-BSSHL and Se-BSSHL patients demonstrated similar hearing thresholds as USSHL but were significantly better than the USSHLwCHL patients across most frequencies before and after treatment (H = 30.0, P < 0.001 for initial hearing and H = 12.0, P = 0.007 for final hearing). Moreover, the BSSHL patients showed different hearing loss distribution patterns (more descending type, χ2 = 33.8, P = 0.001) with less hearing gain (H = 17.5, P < 0.001) compared to the USSHL patients.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Idiopathic BSSHL is a relatively rare subtype of SSHL with a higher rate of descending audiogram type and inferior hearing outcome rather than being classified as a completely different disease entity compared to USSHL.</p>

Comparison of the properties of CD146 positive and CD146 negative subpopulations of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#Stem cells from human exfoliated teeth (SHED) were sorted by magnetically activated cell sorting (MACS) technique to obtain the CD146 positive and negative cell subpopulation. Then the biological characteristics of these subpopulations were compared to explore their specific application potential in tissue engineering.@*METHODS@#In this study, freshly extracted deciduous teeth without any caries or dental pulp disease were obtained. SHED was isolated using enzyme digestion method and then sorted by MACS, CD146 positive cells and CD146 negative cells were obtained after cell sorting. The biological characteristics of the unsorted mixed cells, CD146 positive subpopulation and CD146 negative subpopulation were compared. The proliferation ability was detected through cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony-forming unit (CFU). After osteogenic induction, alizarin red staining was performed and the gene expression of osteogenic related markers was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qPCR). After adipogenic induction, oil-red O staining was performed and the gene expression of adipogenic related markers was detected. After neurogenic differentiation induction, the expression of neural markers was detected by immunofluorescence and the gene expression of neural markers was detected by qPCR.@*RESULTS@#SHED of the fifth passage was sorted by MACS. And the CD146 positive cell subpopulation and CD146 negative cell subpopulation were obtained. CCK8 assay showed that the proliferative tendency of the three cell groups was consistent, but the proliferation potential of CD146 positive and negative cell subpopulations was significantly lower than that of the unsorted cells. The colony forming rates of the unsorted mixed cell group, CD146 positive and negative populations were 28.6%±3%,17.1%±2.3% and 27.5%±2.5%, respectively. After 21 days of osteogenic induction, alizarin red staining and qPCR showed that the CD146 positive cell population had more mineralized nodule formation and expressed higher level of osteogenic related genes compared with the other two groups. After 21 days of adipogenic induction, oil red O staining and qPCR results showed that the CD146 negative subpopulation produced more lipid droplets and the expression of lipid related genes increased more significantly. After 14 days of neural induction, cell immunofluorescence and qPCR results showed that the unsorted mixed cell group and CD146 positive subpopulation expressed glial cell marker, and the expressions of neural precursor cells and neuronal marker increased significantly in negative subpopulation.@*CONCLUSION@#The unsorted mixed cells showed better proliferative potential than CD146 positive and negative subpopulations. The CD146 positive subpopulation was most potent in osteogenic differentiation; it was more suitable for bone tissue engineering. The CD146 negative cells had stronger adipogenic differentiation potential than the other two cell groups; different subpopulations differed in neural differentiation.

Mechanism of Dynamic Near-infrared Fluorescence Cholangiography of Extrahepatic Bile Ducts and Applications in Detecting Bile Duct Injuries Using Indocyanine Green in Animal Models / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

Fluorescence intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) is a potential alternative for identifying anatomical variation and preventing iatrogenic bile duct injuries by using the near-infrared probe indocyanine green (ICG).However,the dynamic process and mechanism of fluorescenceIOC have not been elucidated in previous publications.Herein,the optical properties of the complex of ICG and bile,dynamic fluorescence cholangiography and iatrogenic bile duct injuries were investigated.The emission spectrum of ICG in bile peaked at 844 nm and ICG had higher tissue penetration.Extrahepatic bile ducts could fluoresce 2 min after intravenous injection,and the fluorescence intensity reached a peak at 8 min.Inaddition,biliary dynamics were observed owing to ICG excretion from the bile ducts into the duodenum.Quantitative analysis indicated that ICG-guided fluorescence IOC possessed a high signal to noise ratio compared to the surrounding peripheral tissue and the portal vein.Fluorescence IOC was based on rapid uptake of circulating ICG in plasma by hepatic cells,excretion of ICG into the bile and then its interaction with protein molecules in the bile.Moreover,fluorescence IOC was sensitive to detect bile duct ligation and acute bile duct perforation using ICG in rat models.All of the results indicated that fluorescence IOC using ICG is a valid alternative for the cholangiography of extrahepatic bile ducts and has potential for measurement of biliary dynamics.

Analyzing the usage of glucocorticoid in the treatment of occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene / 中国职业医学

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the usage of glucocorticoid in patients who were treated with occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene( OMDT),in order to provide a reference for regulating the glucocorticoid treatment of the disease. METHODS: Using a retrospective survey method,144 OMDT cases of patients who were diagnosed and cured by Guangdong Province Hospital for Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment from 2001 to2013 were selected. The general information,clinical data and the use of glucocorticoid were collected and analyzed.RESULTS: i) The usage of glucocorticoid. The median and the 0th to 100 th percentile [M( P_0-P_(100)) ] of first dose of methylprednisolone was 100. 00( 40. 00-1 000. 00) mg / d; 58 patients( 40. 3%) using the first dose of treatment were ineffective. The dosage of glucocorticoid was increased one week after admission,the M( P_0-P_(100)) to an initial dose of120. 00( 40. 00-1 000. 00) mg / d; The M( P_0-P_(100)) of maintenance time of initial dose was 5. 5( 1. 0-14. 0) days. After treating effectively,should the decrement to stop using gradually the first glucocorticoid. The dose was gradually cut down to 20-50 mg every 1 to 3 days if the glucocorticoid dose was more than 100 mg / d; it was cut down to 10 mg every 2 to 3days if the glucocorticoid dose was less than 100 mg / d. The M( P_0-P_(100)) of glucocorticoid using time was 66. 0( 22. 0-229. 0) days. The M( P_0-P_(100)) of total amount of glucocorticoid was 3 510. 0( 420. 0 ~ 27 336. 3) mg. ii) The first dose of glucocorticoid in patients of erythema multiforme group were less than those of exfoliative dermatitis group and bullous epidermal necrolysis group( P < 0. 05),the initial dose and total amount of glucocorticoid were less than the other 3 types of rash( P < 0. 05). iii) Compared with the patients with severe impaired liver function,the first dose,the initial dose and the total amount of glucocorticoid were significantly higher than those in mild impaired liver function( P < 0. 05),and the time of using glucocorticoid was longer than that in mild impaired liver function( P < 0. 05). iv) The first dose and the initial dose of glucocorticoid in patients were positively correlated with the total amount of glucocorticoid [Spearmen correlation coefficient( r_S) were 0. 73 and 0. 78 respectively,P < 0. 01). The maintenance time of the initial dose of glucocorticoid was not correlation with the time of patients who were out of contact with trichloroethylene or the urinary level of trichloroacetic acid at admission( r_Swere- 0. 14 and 0. 10 respectively,P > 0. 05). v) Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that,if the patients who had no erythema multiforme,the more severe the degree of liver dysfunction or the white blood cell count higher than 9. 5 × 10~9/ L,the first dose of glucocorticoid used should be more than 120 mg / d( P <0. 05). CONCLUSION: Liver function and type of rash are important factors that affect the usage of glucocorticoid in patients with OMDT. Glucocorticoid therapy should be prescribed in reference to the liver function and skin lesion of patients with OMDT.

Initial 12-h operative fluid volume is an independent risk factor for pleural effusion after hepatectomy / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

Pleural effusion after hepatectomy is associated with significant morbidity and prolonged hospital stays. Several studies have addressed the risk factors for postoperative pleural effusion. However, there are no researches concerning the role of the initial 12-h operative fluid volume. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the initial 12-h operative fluid volume during liver resection is an independent risk factor for pleural effusion after hepatectomy. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 470 patients consecutively undergoing elective hepatectomy between January 2011 and December 2012. We prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed baseline and clinical data, including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables. Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to identify whether the initial 12-h operative fluid volume was an independent risk factor for pleural effusion after hepatectomy. The multivariate analysis identified 2 independent risk factors for pleural effusion: operative time [odds ratio (OR)=10.2] and initial 12-h operative fluid volume (OR=1.0003). Threshold effect analyses revealed that the initial 12 h operative fluid volume was positively correlated with the incidence of pleural effusion when the initial 12-h operative fluid volume exceeded 4636 mL. We conclude that the initial 12-h operative fluid volume during liver resection and operative time are independent risk factors for pleural effusion after hepatectomy. Perioperative intravenous fluids should be restricted properly.

Clinical Study on 136 Children with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>The prevalence of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in children (CSSNHL) is consistently increasing. However, the pathology and prognosis of CSSNHL are still poorly understood. This retrospective study evaluated clinical characteristics and possible associated factors of CSSNHL.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and thirty-six CSSNHL patients treated in Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Institute of Otolaryngology at Chinese PLA General Hospital between July 2008 and August 2015 were included in this study. These patients were analyzed for clinical characteristics, audiological characteristics, laboratory examinations, and prognostic factors.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among the 136 patients (151 ears), 121 patients (121 ears, 80.1%) were diagnosed with unilaterally CSSNHL, and 15 patients (30 ears, 19.9%) with bilateral CSSNHL. The complete recovery rate of CSSNHL was 9.3%, and the overall recovery rate was 37.7%. We found that initial degree of hearing loss, onset of treatment, tinnitus, the ascending type audiogram, gender, side of hearing loss, the recorded auditory brainstem response (ABR), and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) had prognostic significance. Age, ear fullness, and vertigo had no significant correlation with recovery. Furthermore, the relevant blood tests showed 30.8% of the children had abnormal white blood cell (WBC) counts, 22.1% had elevated homocysteine levels, 65.8% had high alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 33.8% had high IgE antibody levels, and 86.1% had positive cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG antibodies.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>CSSNHL commonly occurs unilaterally and results in severe hearing loss. Initial severe hearing loss and bilateral hearing loss are negative prognostic factors for hearing recovery, while positive prognostic factors include tinnitus, gender, the ascending type audiogram, early treatment, identifiable ABR waves, and DPOAEs. Age, vertigo, and ear fullness are not correlated with the recovery. Some serologic indicators, including the level of WBC, platelet, homocysteine, ALP, positive CMV IgG antibody, fibrinogen, and some immunologic indicators, are closely related to CSSNHL.</p>

Is nationwide special campaign on antibiotic stewardship program effective on ameliorating irrational antibiotic use in China? Study on the antibiotic use of specialized hospitals in China in 2011-2012 / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

With dwindling number of new antibiotics and inappropriate use of antibiotics, the emergence and spread of antibiotics resistance occurs commonly in healthcare institutions worldwide. In China, antibiotics are commonly overprescribed and misused. This study is to assess the effect of the nationwide special campaign on antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) at specialized hospitals in China by investigating prescription information from 2011 to 2012. Data on the hospital consumption and prescription of systemic antibiotics were obtained from four specialized hospitals, including maternity, children's, stomatological and cancer hospitals. Systematic random sampling was used to select outpatient prescriptions and inpatient cases. A total of 105 specialized hospitals in 2011 and 121 specialized hospitals in 2012 were analysed. The defined daily doses (DDDs) per 100 inpatient days, the percentage of antibiotic use in outpatient prescriptions, and the percentage of antibiotic use in inpatient cases were used as measurements of antibiotic use. The overall antibiotic use density in the selected hospitals decreased between 2011 and 2012 from 39.37 to 26.54 DDD/100 inpatient days (P<0.001). The percentage of antibiotic use in outpatient prescriptions (range: 24.12%-18.71%, P=0.109) and inpatient cases (64.85%-60.10%, P=0.006) also decreased within the two years. Significant changes were observed among regions and different hospitals within the two years. And antibiotic consumption was correlated with the type and size of specialized hospital in 2012, but not with the regions. This analysis of antibiotic consumption of specialized hospitals allows relevant comparisons for benchmarking and shows that national ASP has improved antibiotic rational use in China. The data will assist policymakers in formulating effective strategies to decrease antibiotic overuse and identify areas that require further work.

Expression and significance of MMP-26, TIMP-4 and MMP-9 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells / 中国实验血液学杂志

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 26 (MMP-26), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-4 (TIMP-4) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and their correlations with pathogenesis and development of DLBCL. A total of 95 specimens excised from DLBCL patients were prepared. Expression of MMP-26, TIMP-4 and MMP-9 were tested by SABC immunohistochemistry method and its correlation to clinicopathology indexes were analyzed. The results showed that as compared with reactive hyperplasia of lymph nodes, the high expression of MMP-26, TIMP-4 and MMP-9 were found in different types of DLBCL. The positive expression rate of MMP-26 was related to immune typing (P < 0.05). The expression level of MMP-26 in GCB was lower than that in non-GCB, and did not relate to clinical staging, age, sex, diseased region (P > 0.05). The positive expression rate of MMP-9 was related to clinical staging, the positive expression rate of MMP-9 proteins in patient at III and IV stage was obviously higher than that in patients at I and II stage, but did not relate to immune type, age, sex and diseased region of DLBCL (P > 0.05). The expression of TIMP-4 did not relate to immune type, clinical stage, age, sex, disease region (P > 0.05). The expression of MMP-26 in pathologic tissue of DLBCL did not relate to expression of TIMP-4, but positively related to expression of MMP-9 protein (r = 0.486, P < 0.05). It is concluded that MMP-26 and MMP-9 synergically express in DLBCL. MMP-26 may be involve in pathogenesis and invasiveness of DLBCL, the expression of MMP-26 relates to subtypes of DLBCL.

Bacteriophage Lysins:A Novel Effective Antibacterial Agents / 微生物学通报

Lysins are efficient bacteria cell wall digesting enzymes encoded by DNA bacteriophage. Gram-positive bacteriophage lysins feature similar domain structure, high lytic efficiency, synergic antibacterial effect with antibiotics, rare neutralization by antibodies, less chance of developing drug-resistant strains, et al. The past decade has seen a considerable amount of research worldwidely focused on lysin, and lysins have been used successfully in a variety of animal models to control pathogenic antibiotic resistant bacteria found on mucosal surfaces and infected tissues. The great potential of lysins as an anti-infective agent prompted this review.
