Dilemma and optimization strategies of school psychological crisis intervention from multiple perspectives / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To understand the dilemma of different participants in school psychological crisis intervention, so as to provide guidance for the implementation of comprehensive psychological crisis intervention from multiple perspectives.@*Methods@#From March 2022 to January 2023, a total of 10 psychological consultants, 10 counselors, 10 peer students, 10 parents and 10 clients were selected from a certain university using convenient sampling method was interviewed with semi structured interviews, and the transcribed data were analyzed according to grounded theory.@*Results@#The predicaments of psychological crisis intervention mainly involved three core themes: early warning, ethical dilemma and negative emotion. Early warning approaches mainly included three core themes: school, social media and other institutions, and 50 participants reported mainly on peer students in schools(18 cases) and online media in social media(18 cases). Ethical dilemmas mainly focued on the conflict between confidentiality breaches and privacy protection. The negative emotions mainly include three core themes of anxiety, fear and powerlessness, which were characterized by dispersion. The optimization expectation of psychological crisis intervention mainly consisted of two core themes: professional expectation and collaborative expectation, both of which were the common expectation of the people involved.@*Conclusion@#School psychological crisis intervention should pay attention to the establishment of crisis early warning system and dialectic between confidentiality breaches and privacy protection. Schools should prevent the dispersion of negative emotions of participants, deepen professional construction and the coordination between home and school, and implement psychological crisis intervention from a comprehensive perspective.

[Rapid detection of novel avian influenza virus subtype H7N9 by multiplex real-time RT-PCR].

In order to develop a rapid detection kit for novel avian influenza virus (AIV) subtype H7N9, two sets of specific primers and probes were designed based on the nucleotide sequences of hemagglutinin antigen (HA) and neuraminidase antigen (NA) of novel H7N9 virus (2013) available in GenBank to establish the method of TaqMan probe-based multiplex real-time RT-PCR for rapid detection of AIV subtype H7N9. The primer and probe of HA were for all H7 subtype AIVs, while the primer and probe of NA were only for novel N9 subtype AIVs. The results showed that this method had high sensitivity and specificity. This method was applicable to the testing of positive standard sample with a minimum concentration of 10 copies/microL; it not only distinguished H7 subtype from H1, H3, H5, H6, and H9 subtypes, but also distinguished novel N9 subtype from traditional N9 subtype. A total of 2700 samples from Zhuhai, China were tested by this method, and the results were as expected. For the advantages of sensitivity and specificity, the method holds promise for wide application.

Role of electrical stimulation of S_3 nerve root in improvement of intestinal mucosal barrier function after acute complete spinal cord injury in rabbits / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of electrical stimulation of S_3 nerve root on improvement of intestinal mucosal barrier function in rabbits with acute complete spinal cord injury. Methods Model of paraplegia was built by injuring spinal cord in rabbits. Then, the rabbits with electrical stimulation of S_3 nerve root were set as experimental group and those without set as control group. Normal rabbits were set as normal group. Under aseptic condition, portal vein blood was collected for quantitative determination of endotoxin and bacterial culture ; and liver, spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes were collected for bacterial culture and strain identification. Liver, spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes and small intestines were collected from experimental group and control group for pathological HE staining; while small intestine were observed by light and electron microscopes. Results In control group, the intestinal mueosal barrier and the other organs were destroyed obviously, with higher level of Serum endotoxin and higher rate intestinal flora translocation than that in experimental group and normal group. In the experimental group, the electrical stimulation of S_3 nerve root could improve motility of the denervated intestine, with more defecation content, less destruction of the intestinal mucosa and lighter other organ damage compared with control group, serum endotoxin level was significantly reduced compared with control group but showed no statistical difference compared with normal group, with obvious decrease of bacterial translocation rate. Conclusions After spinal cord injury in rabbits, electrical stimulation of S_3 nerve root can facilitate intestinal tract motility, improve intestinal mucosal barrier function and hence alleviate endotoxemia and intestinal bacterial translocation, as is beneficial to reducing SIRS and MOBS.

Study on the anti-tumor effect of paclitaxel mixed micelle by using in vivo optical imaging technique / 药学学报

In vivo tumor imaging technique method based on bioluminescence principle was established to evaluate the anti-tumor effect of paclitaxel mixed micelle (PMM). MDA-MB-231 tumor cells with luciferase reporter vectors were firstly implanted into nude mice, and subsequently the luciferase substrate was regularly injected during intraperitoneal administration of PMM. Then the tumor size, growth and the intensity of light signals were monitored with in vivo imaging technique. The method of luciferase tumor in vivo imaging could be real-time, reliable and exact in labeling and reflecting the growth of tumors, and the observed results were consistent with that by conventional method, so it would be a feasible approach to study anti-tumor effect of drugs. The anti-tumor effect of paclitaxel mixed micelle was observed by this method, and the results showed that this formulation could inhibit growth of tumor, and the anti-tumor rate of it was about 85%.

Study on the expression of cytokeratin 19 mRNA in oral squamous cell carcinoma / 华西口腔医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To elucidate the possible mechanism of oral carcinogenesis and to explore the value of clinical application of the detection of cytokeratin (CK) 19 for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The cancerous tissues, para-cancerous tissues and excised lymph nodes were collected from 20 operated patients with OSCC. The patients didn't receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy before hospitalization. The relative expression of CK19 mRNA in those tissues was detected by fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression of CK19 mRNA in the cancerous tissues was 1.85 and 1.66 times higher than that in normal oral mucosa and in para-cancerous tissues, respectively. The expression of CK19 mRNA in lymph nodes from 9 patients with OSCC was positive and the positive rate was 45% (9/20). The positive rate of CK19 mRNA in all lymph nodes from 9 patients with OSCC was 81.8% (18/22), and the positive rate of CK19 mRNA in all lymph nodes from 20 patients with OSCC was 41.9%(18/43). CK19 mRNA level in the cancerous tissues relative to para-cancerous tissues and normal oral mucosa of the patients whose CK19 mRNA expression was positive was lower than that of the patients whose CK19 mRNA expression was negative in lymph nodes, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The possible reason that the expression of CK19 mRNA in the cancerous tissues was higher than that in para-cancerous tissues and normal oral mucosa was that the CK19 synthesis in cancerous tissues increased obviously. The detection of CK19 mRNA in lymph nodes was regarded probably as one of the markers for detecting OSCC micrometastasis in lymph nodes. The detection of CK19 mRNA in lymph nodes by FQ-PCR was more sensitive than hematoxylin-eosin staining in diagnosing OSCC micrometastasis.</p>

Identification of canine transmissible venereal tumor cells using in situ polymerase chain reaction and the stable sequence of the long interspersed nuclear element.

Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a unique tumor that can be transplanted across the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) barrier by viable tumor cells. In dogs, CTVT grows progressively for a few months and then usually regresses spontaneously. A long interspersed nuclear element (LINE) insertion is found specifically and constantly in the 5' end of the CTVT cell c-myc gene, outside the first exon. The rearranged LINE-c-myc gene sequence has been used with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to diagnose CTVT. However, in CTVT cells, the total length of the inserted LINE gene is not constant. In this experiment, variation in the inserted LINE gene was studied to determine which parts of the LINE sequence can be used as primers to identify CTVT cells with in situ PCR (IS PCR). The LINE gene was inserted between the TATA boxes in the promoter region of c-myc. In CTVT cells, deletions of different lengths are frequent in this gene. However, the 550-bp segment at the 5' end of the LINE-c-myc gene was stable. Thus, primers were designed to cover the stable 0.55-kb segment from the 5' end outside the first exon of the c-myc gene to the 5' end of LINE gene stable segment. With these primers and IS PCR, individual CTVT cells in formalin-fixed tissue sections and CTVT cultures were identified. Cells from other canine tumors were negative for this gene. In addition, the CTVT-specific, 0.55-kb segment was not found in any spindle-shaped cells from progressive or regressive phase CTVT. The IS PCR technique also did not detect any positive spindle-shaped cells in CTVT cell cultures. Thus, fibroblastic terminal differentiation is less likely to be a mechanism for spontaneous regression of CTVT cells.

Intestinal pathophysiological mechanism of bacterial translocation and endotoxemia in rabbits with acute spinal cord injury / 第三军医大学学报

Objective To investigate the intestinal pathophysiological mechanism of bacterial translocation and endotoxemia in rabbits with acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Paraplegia was induced by injuring the spinal cord of 30 rabbits by the method of Fehlings. Twelve rabbits were used for recording the changes of gastrointestinal (GI) electrophysiology and colon pressure. The left 18 rabbits were experimental group and were killed in 24, 48 and 72 h after injury. The other 6 rabbits served as normal group. Under aseptic condition, samples of blood and mesenteric lymph node were collected for bacterial cultures and endotoxin detection. The small intestines were observed by light and electron microscopy. The colons were inspected by light microscopy. Results After SCI, the electrophysiology of the GI tract was changed especially at the middle and distal colon. The peristalsis of the middle and distal colon was reduced and sometimes even disappeared. In the early stage, the main pathology was hyperemia of blood vessel and infiltration of inflammatory cells. The interepithelial tight junctions became wider and the columnar epithelium was disintegrated. All of the pathological changes may lead to the destruction of the intestinal barrier. The endotoxin level were increased since 24 h after SCI and had statistically significant difference compared with that at 72 h (P0.05). Conclusion After SCI, the middle and distal colon dysfunction induces constipation, bacterial overgrowth, and blood flow congestion. These factors may accelerate the destruction of the intestinal barrier and lead to bacterial translocation and endotoxemia.
