RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of increasing efficacy and decreasing toxicity of ginkgo flavone aglycone （GA） on doxorubicin （DOX）in the treatment of liver cancer. METHODS A tumor bearing model was established by inoculating liver cancer cell H 22 into the right axillary skin of ICR mice. The successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into model control group，DOX group （2.5 mg/kg，once every other day ，via tail vein ），GA group （30 mg/kg，once a day ，gavage）and GA+DOX group（the usage was the same as single drug groups ），with 6 mice in each group. The administration cycle was 15 days. The general growth of mice in each group were observed ，body weight and tumor weight were measured ，and the inhibition rate of tumor was calculated. Jin’s formula was used to evaluate the effect of combined medication （Q）. The serum level of alpha-fetal protein（AFP），the pathological changes of tumor tissue ，cell apoptosis and the expression of platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1（CD31）were detected in each group. The cardiac index，serum levels of B-type natriuretic peptide （BNP）and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide （NT-pro BNP ），pathological changes of heart and myocardial fibrosis degree were also detected. RESULTS The percentage of body weight change （except for GA group ） and tumor weights of DOX group，GA group and GA + DOX group were all decreased significantly，compared with model control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），while tumor weight of GA+DOX gro up was significantly lower than DOX group （P＜0.01）. Inhibitory rates of tumor in 3 administration groups were 54.29％，42.50％ and 89.29％ respectively，and Q of two-drug combination was 1.21. The tumor tissues of mice in each administration group were necrotic to varying degrees ；the serum level of AFP and the expression of CD31 in tumor tissue were decreased significantly ，compared with model control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；the percentage of necrosis area of tumor tissue and the positive rate of apoptosis （except for single drug groups ）were significantly increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），while positive rate of apoptosis in GA+DOX group was significantly higher than DOX group （P＜0.05）. Cardiac index of mice in DOX group was significantly lower than model control group （P＜0.01）；serum levels of BNP and NT-pro BNP in DOX group and GA+ DOX group were significantly higher than model control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；pathological changes of heart and the degree of myocardial fibrosis in GA+DOX group were lower than DOX group. CONCLUSIONS GA combined with DOX show synergistic antitumor effect. GA can strengthen the apoptosis promoting effect of DOX ，and can help to reduce the cardiotoxicity of DOX.
RESUMO
Objective@#To understand the status of suicide and self-injury among college students of Yao nationality in Guangxi and their relationship with psychological adjustment ability, and to support the prevention and intervention of suicide and self-injury behavior of Yao university students.@*Methods@#From April to May 2019,a questionnaire survey was conducted among 844 Yao university students in three universities in Guangxi in demographics, psychological resilience, and forgiveness.@*Results@#Among the students of the Yao ethnic group in Guangxi, 10.90% had suicidal ideation; 4.62% had suicide plan; 3.55% had suicide preparation; 2.84% had suicidal action; and 12.56% had suicidal behavior. The total scores of students with suicidal ideation in Psychological Resilience, Self-Compassion and Hearland Forgiveness Scale were significantly lower than those without suicidal ideation, which was statistically significant(t=-3.74, -5.54, -4.97,P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that a high score for forgiveness was negatively correlated with suicidal behavior(OR=0.28) and self-harm behavior (OR=0.32)(P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The psychological resilience, forgiveness, and self-compassion of Yao college students are closely related to suicide-related psychological behaviors and self-harm behaviors. Suicide and self-harm behaviors can be reduced by improving the self-psychological adjustment ability of Yao college students.
RESUMO
Objective@#To understand the quality of life and its influencing factors of adolescent from low-income families in Nanning City.@*Methods@#With the help of the community, junior and senior high school students from 1 144 low-income households and 1 067 non-minimum households in 4 districts of Nanning City were randomly selected to complete a questionnaire survey regarding quality of life and study stress source.@*Results@#The quality of life and total scores of adolescents in the low-income families were significantly lower than the national norm(P<0.01), and also lower than the scores of adolescents from normal in come families. The scores of boys in low-income households were significantly higher than those of girls in terms of exercise quality, life chance, negative emotions, and other factors (P<0.05). Girls scored significantly higher in teacher-student relationships, parent-child relationships, and self-concepts than boys (P<0.05). Junior middle school students were significantly higher than high school students in terms of convenience, athletic ability, teacher-student relationship, physical feelings, work attitude, life opportunity, negative emotions, peer relationships, self-satisfaction, other and total scores.Differences were of statistical significance (P<0.05). Regression analysis showed that there are 9 factors that affect social and psychological functions; 8 factors that affect living environment; 5 factors that affect physiological and mental health; 5 factors that affect satisfaction with quality of life; and 4 factors that affect total quality of life(P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The quality of life of middle school students from low-income families is low, and effective measures should be developed and implemented accordingly.
