This study aims to investigate the mechanism of muscone in inhibiting the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore(mPTP) to alleviate the oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)-induced injury of mouse hippocampal neurons(HT22). An in vitro model of HT22 cells injured by OGD/R was established. CCK-8 assay was employed to examine the viability of HT22 cells, fluorescence microscopy to measure the mitochondrial membrane potential, the content of reactive oxygen species(ROS), and the opening of mPTP in HT22 cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to determine the level of ATP and the content of cytochrome C(Cyt C) in mitochondria of HT22 cells. Flow cytometry was employed to determine the Ca~(2+) content and apoptosis of HT22 cells. The expression of Bcl-2(B-cell lymphoma-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax) was measured by Western blot. Molecular docking and Western blot were employed to examine the binding between muscone and methyl ethyl ketone(MEK) after pronase hydrolysis of HT22 cell proteins. After the HT22 cells were treated with U0126, an inhibitor of MEK, the expression levels of MEK, p-ERK, and CypD were measured by Western blot. The results showed that compared with the OGD/R model group, muscone significantly increased the viability, mitochondrial ATP activity, and mitochondrial membrane potential, lowered the levels of ROS, Cyt C, and Ca~(2+), and reduced mPTP opening to inhibit the apoptosis of HT22 cells. In addition, muscone up-regulated the expression of MEK, p-ERK, and down-regulated that of CypD. Molecular docking showed strong binding activity between muscone and MEK. In conclusion, muscone inhibits the opening of mPTP to inhibit apoptosis, thus exerting a protective effect on OGD/R-injured HT22 cells, which is associated with the activation of MEK/ERK/CypD signaling pathway.

Drug-associated lung injury (DALI) is one of the important factors affecting the prognosis of patients with lymphoma, and early identification and timely intervention for DALI are essential. Currently, the commonly used imaging examinations, e. g. high-resolution computed tomography, and laboratory tests all have hysteresis, so that the lung injury may be irreversible. Nuclear medicine imaging provides functional and metabolic information for DALI before morphological changes, so that the opportunity for early clinical intervention can be obtained. This article reviews the application of nuclear medicine imaging in lymphoma DALI.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and prognostic evaluation of response evaluation criteria in lymphoma (RECIL) and Lugano classification in patients with 18F-FDG-avid Hodgkin′s lymphoma (HL) and non-HL (NHL) during mid-chemotherapy. Methods:From January 2015 to August 2021, 240 patients (149 males and 91 females, age 50.0(32.0, 62.0) years) with pathologically confirmed lymphoma in Shanxi Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Pre-treatment and mid-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT examinations were performed, and the differences of PET/CT imaging results among patients with different types of lymphoma were analyzed ( χ2 test or Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test). Efficacy evaluation was conducted during mid-chemotherapy, and the results were divided into complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD) according to Lugano classification, which were divided into CR, PR, mild remission (MiR), SD, PD according to RECIL. For the better comparison with Lugano classification, MiR was included in PR group (recorded as RECIL-1) and SD group (recorded as RECIL-2) in this study. All patients were followed up, and the progression free survival (PFS) was analyzed. Kappa test, χ2 test or Fisher exact probability method were used to analyze the data, and ROC curve was used to compare the prediction efficiency of different standards. Results:Among 240 patients with different types of lymphoma (96 HL, 30 follicular lymphoma (FL), 114 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)), there were statistically significant differences in baseline SUV max ( H=54.96, P<0.001) and the sum of longest diameters ( H=15.85, P<0.001). Patients were followed up for 12-89 months, and 26 patients (10.8%) were evaluated as MiR according to the RECIL. The consistency ( Kappa) was 0.84 between results of RECIL-1 and Lugano classification, which was 0.74 between RECIL-2 and Lugano classification (both P<0.001). According to Lugano classification, the PFS rates of patients evaluated as CR, PR, SD and PD were 91.4%(148/162), 57.1%(36/63), 1/3 and 3/12 respectively, which were 91.3%(136/149), 62.8%(49/78), 1/2 and 2/11 for RECIL-1, and 91.3%(136/149), 57.7%(30/52), 71.4%(20/28) and 2/11 for RECIL-2 respectively ( χ2 values: 46.64-52.44, all P<0.001). The AUC of Lugano classification for predicting PFS had a trend to be higher than AUCs of RECIL-1 and RECIL-2 (0.774, 0.758 and 0.746; z values: 1.28, 1.61, P values: 0.200, 0.107). Conclusion:RECIL and Lugano classification have similar efficacy and prognostic evaluation effect on patients with 18F-FDG-avid HL and NHL during mid-chemotherapy.

OBJECTIVE@#To conduct anatomical study on the iliac crest chimeric tissue flap and summarize its effectiveness of clinical application in repairing limb wounds.@*METHODS@#Latex perfusion and anatomical study were performed on 6 fresh adult cadaver specimens with 12 sides, to observe the initial location, distribution, quantity, and direction of the common circumflexa iliac artery, the deep circumflexa iliac artery, and the superficial circumflexa iliac artery, and to measure their initial external diameter. Between December 2020 and September 2022, the iliac crest chimeric tissue flap repair was performed on 5 patients with soft tissue of limbs and bone defects. There were 3 males and 2 females, with an average age of 46 years (range, 23-60 years). Among them, there were 3 cases of radii and skin soft tissue defects and 2 cases of tibia and skin soft tissue defects. The length of bone defects was 4-8 cm and the area of skin soft tissue defects ranged from 9 cm×5 cm to 15 cm×6 cm. The length of the iliac flap was 4-8 cm and the area of skin flap ranged from 12.0 cm×5.5 cm to 16.0 cm×8.0 cm. The donor sites were directly sutured.@*RESULTS@#Anatomical studies showed that there were 10 common circumflex iliac arteries in 5 specimens, which originated from the lateral or posterolateral side of the transition between the external iliac artery and the femoral artery, with a length of 1.2-1.6 cm and an initial external diameter of 0.8-1.4 mm. In 1 specimen without common circumflexa iliac artery, the superficial and deep circumflex iliac arteries originated from the external iliac artery and the femoral artery, respectively, while the rest originated from the common circumflex iliac artery. The length of superficial circumflex iliac artery was 4.6-6.7 cm, and the initial external diameter was 0.4-0.8 mm. There were 3-6 perforator vessels along the way. The length of deep circumflex iliac artery was 7.8-9.2 cm, and the initial external diameter was 0.5-0.7 mm. There were 3-5 muscular branches, 4-6 periosteal branches, and 2-3 musculocutaneous branches along the way. Based on the anatomical observation results, all iliac crest chimeric tissue flaps were successfully resected and survived after operation. The wounds at recipient and donor sites healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 8-24 months, with an average of 12 months. The tissue flap has good appearance and soft texture. X-ray film reexamination showed that all the osteotomy healed, and no obvious bone resorption was observed during follow-up.@*CONCLUSION@#The common circumflex iliac artery, deep circumflex iliac artery, and superficial circumflex iliac artery were anatomically constant, and it was safe and reliable to use iliac crest chimeric tissue flap in repairing the soft tissue and bone defects of limbs.

摘要
Human corneal stromal cells (HCSCs), a type of resting neural crest mesenchymal cell, are highly specialized transparent tissues responsible for the secretion of stroma and play an important role in maintaining the transparency of the cornea and the normal visual function of human eye.Normally, corneal stromal cells are quiescent, flat and dendritic.After the cornea is stimulated by trauma, the corneal stromal cells will be activated, and the activated human corneal keratocytes (HCK) will turn to a repair phenotype, undergo apoptosis or transform to corneal fibroblast phenotype and myofibroblast phenotype.The phenotype transformation of HCSCs is closely related to the formation of scar tissue and the reduction of ocular transparency caused by the repair process of human corneal injury.In this article, three phenotypes, phenotypic markers, phenotype transformation and in vitro transformation mechanisms of HCSCs were reviewed, and it was found that corneal fibrosis could be inhibited by interfering with the transformation process of HCK to fibrotic phenotype and TGF-β/Smad signaling pathways.Therefore, in-depth study of the molecular mechanism of phenotypic transformation of HCSCs and the regulatory mechanism of intervention in corneal scarring formation is helpful for prevention and treatment of corneal fibrosis and postoperative corneal opacity in patients.

Objective:To investigate the survival benefit of radiotherapy on the basis of systemic treatment for stage ⅣB esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).Methods:Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, we collected the treatment information of 298 patients with newly diagnosed stage ⅣB ESCC admitted to Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to February 2021. All patients were divided into two groups based on treatment: early radiotherapy intervention group (CRT group, n=197) and salvage radiotherapy intervention or no intervention group (CT group, n=101). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance baseline characteristics between two groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate and log-rank was used to test the difference. Cox model was used to analyze the multivariate prognosis. Results:In the CRT and CT groups, the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 52.8% vs. 31.5%( P=0.006) and 98.9% vs. 85.4%( P=0.001) respectively, and the 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates were 74.2% vs. 52.8%、31.5% vs. 10.1% and 15.7% vs. 2.2%, respectively. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.5 months (95% CI: 6.7-10.3 months) vs. 4.4 months (95% CI: 3.5-5.3 months)( P<0.001). Median overall survival (OS) were 17.1 months (95% CI: 14.9-19.3 months) vs. 12.7 months (95% CI: 8.0-17.4 months)( P<0.001). The difference of adverse reactions was mainly in hematology. Conclusions:For newly diagnosed stage ⅣB patients with ESCC, radiotherapy should be combined with systemic therapy as early as possible. It yields longer PFS and OS, and effectively improves dysphagia. Adverse reactions are tolerated. Further validation is recommended in larger prospective studies.

Objective:To evaluate the value of 18F-FDG uptake features in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant solitary pulmonary lesions. Methods:A total of 274 patients (181 males, 93 females, age: (61.0±10.2) years) with solitary pulmonary lesions who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT between September 2010 and March 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The 18F-FDG uptake features of lesions were divided into 5 types: full uptake (Group A), circular uptake (Group B), multi-focus uptake (Group C), mild uptake (Group D) and no-uptake (Group E). According to the pathology or follow-up results, the incidences of benign and malignant lesions in each group were analyzed. The diagnostic efficiencies of 18F-FDG uptake feature classification(A+ B=malignancy, C+ D+ E=benign) and SUV method (lesions with SUV max≥2.5 was taken as the malignancy) were calculated. χ2 test and ROC curve were used to analyze the data. Results:The malignant incidences of Groups A-E were 86.25%(138/160), 71.05%(27/38), 31.25%(10/32), 43.48%(10/23) and 14.29%(3/21), respectively ( χ2=79.49, P<0.001), and the rate of Group A was the highest ( χ2 values: 5.11-55.84, all P<0.05). There were significant differences in the malignancy incidence between A+ B group and C+ D+ E group (83.33%(165/198) vs 30.26%(23/76)), and between SUV max≥2.5 group and SUV max<2.5 group (76.09%(175/230) vs 29.55%(13/44); χ2 values: 71.83 and 37.15, both P<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the 18F-FDG uptake feature classification and the SUV method were 87.77%(165/188) vs 93.09%(175/188), 61.63%(53/86) vs 36.05%(31/86), 79.56%(218/274) vs 75.18%(206/274), 83.33%(165/198) vs 76.09%(175/230), 69.74%(53/76) vs 70.45%(31/44), respectively. ROC curve analysis showed that the diagnostic accuracy of the 18F-FDG uptake feature classification was higher than that of SUV method (AUCs: 0.747, 0.646; Z=4.05, P<0.001). Conclusions:18F-FDG uptake feature classification can improve the diagnostic specificity and accuracy of solitary pulmonary lesions. The multi-focus uptake feature maybe a sign of benign lesions, which still needs more researches to confirm.

Objective: To investigate whether the selective cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme inhibitors celecoxib has protective effect on the liver of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) via inhibiting the expression of Rho/ROCK pathway. Methods: Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (T2DM-NASH) group, T2DM-NASH + celecoxib group, control group, and control+celecoxib group. The T2DM-NASH and T2DM-NASH + celecoxib groups were fed with high-sugar and fat diet, and the control group and control + celecoxib group were fed with basal diet (25 kJ/kg). Four weeks later, streptozotocin (STZ, 30 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into the NASH group and T2DM-NASH + celecoxib group to induce T2DM model, and the control group and control + celecoxib group were intraperitoneally injected with isovolumic citric acid-sodium citrate buffer. Four weeks after STZ injection, the T2DM-NASH + celecoxib group and the control + celecoxib group were gavaged with celecoxib (10 mg·kg·d) dissolved in normal saline for 4 weeks, and the remaining two groups of rats were gavaged with isovolumic normal saline for 4 weeks. Animals were sacrificed at the end of the 12- weeks, and the liver tissue was collected. Liver pathological changes were observed by HE staining. The expressions of RhoA, RhoA, ROCK1 and ROCK2 proteins in liver were detected by immunohistochemistry and western blot. The expressional condition of RhoA, ROCK1 and ROCK2 mRNA in liver were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The differences were compared between protein and mRNA expression among the groups by analysis of variance and t-test. Results: Compared with the control group and the control + celecoxib group, the liver tissue of the T2DM-NASH group and the T2DM-NASH + celecoxib group had severe steatosis, and there was partial inflammatory cell infiltration under the light microscope. The expression levels of RhoA, ROCK1 and ROCK2 protein and mRNA were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in each liver tissue, while liver steatosis was reduced to certain extent in T2DM-NASH + celecoxib group than T2DM-NASH group, and the expression levels of RhoA, ROCK1 and ROCK2 protein and mRNA were decreased in each liver tissue of T2DM-NASH group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The selective cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme inhibitors celecoxib has a protective effect on the liver of rats with T2DM-NASH, and its effect may be achieved by inhibiting the expression of Rho/ROCK pathway.

The present study clarified the molecular mechanism of curcumol against liver fibrosis based on its effects on the autopha-gy and apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells. The hepatic stellate cells were divided into a blank control group, a transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)(10 ng·mL~(-1)) group, and low-(12.5 mg·L~(-1)), medium-(25 mg·L~(-1)), and high-dose(50 mg·L~(-1)) curcumol groups. The effect of curcumol on the viability of hepatic stellate cells induced by TGF-β1 was detected by the MTT assay kit. The apo-ptosis in each group was determined by flow cytometry. Real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR(RT-PCR) was employed for the detection of mRNA expression of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA), type Ⅰ collagen(collagen Ⅰ), and type Ⅲ collagen(collagen Ⅲ). Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of p62, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3), beclin1, B cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2), and Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax). Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used to observe cell morphology and autophagosome formation in each group. The autophagic flux was observed after cell infection with adenovirus under double fluorescence labeling. The cell viability assay revealed that compared with the TGF-β1 group, the curcumol groups showed significantly decreased cell viability. The apoptosis assay showed that the apoptosis rates of the curcumol groups were significantly higher than that of the TGF-β1 group. RT-PCR indicated that the mRNA expression of α-SMA, collagenⅠ, and collagen Ⅲ in the curcumol groups was significantly lower than that of the TGF-β1 group. Western blot showed that the expression of p62, LC3, beclin1, Bcl-2, and Bax in the curcumol groups was significantly different from that in the TGF-β1 group. As demonstrated by TEM, compared with the TGF-β1 group, the curcumol groups showed significantly increased autophagosomes. The detection of autophagic flow by the adenovirus under double fluorescence labeling showed that autolysosomes in the curcumol groups were significantly increased compared with those in the TGF-β1 group. Curcumol can induce the autophagy and apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells, which may be one of its anti-liver fibrosis mechanisms.

Methods The surveillance data on mosquitoes by traps were collected from 2018 to 2020 in Zigong. The wild Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus and Aedes albopictus were collected throughout the city and reared to F1 generation in lab. The resistance of adult Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus and Aedes albopictus to these commonly insecticides was detected by contact tube method recommended. The statistical analysis on the monitoring results was used by Excel 2010. Results The annual average mosquito densities of monitoring sites were 1.11, 10.71, and 4.81 mosquitoes/(lamp·h), respectively from 2018 to 2020. The seasonal density of mosquitoes showed a single peak curve distribution throughout the year from 2018 to 2020 in Zigong, with the highest in July. There were obvious differences in mosquito density between different habitats, with the highest density of mosquitoes in barn. The 24 h mortality of Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus to beta-cypermethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, deltamethrin, permethrin, malathion, fenitrothion, chlorpyrifos, propoxur, and bendiocarb were 70.71% and 3.85%, 26.53% and 1.68%, 19.79% and 1.94%, 40.80% and 0.81%, 97.98% and 3.85%, 100.00% and 7.52%, 100.00% and 66.34%, 96.15% and 33.60%, 100.00% and 71.43%, respectively. The adult Aedes albopictus larvae in Zigong was sensitive to fenitrothion, chlorpyrifos, bendiocarb, showed resistance to beta-cypermethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, deltamethrin, permethrin, and showed resistance dubiously to malathion and propoxur. The adult Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus larvae in Zigong have developed certain resistance to these commonly insecticides. Conclusion Both Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus and Aedes albopictus had high resistance to pyrethroid insecticides, which suggested that we should strengthen the patriotic hygiene campaigns, reduce pyrethroid insecticides, use alternately different types of insecticides for delay the development of resistance and better mosquito prevention and control.

OBJECTIVE：To study the effects of couplet medicine of Rheum p almatum-Salvia miltiorrhiza on the contents of enterogenous urotoxin and intestinal barrier function in chronic renal failure （CRF）model rats. METHODS ：Totally 55 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group （10 rats）and modeling group （45 rats）. In sham operation group ，the kidneys were isolated but not removed ；CRF model was reproduced by 5/6 nephrectomy in modeling group. After modeling （excluding 5 dead and non-modeling rats ），modeling rats were divided into model group （water），Niaoduqing granules group （2.5 g/kg），couplet medicine of R. palmatum -S. miltiorrhiza groups（6，3 g/kg，by crude drug ），with 10 rats in each group. Sham operation group and model group were given constant volume of water intragastrically. Administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 12 weeks. After last administration ，the contents of creatinine （Scr）and urea nitrogen（BUN）in serum ，the content of urinary creatinine （Ucr） in urine were determined by automatic biochemical analyzer；creatinine clearance rate （Ccr）was calculated. The contents of enterogenous urotoxin [trimethylamine-N-oxide （TMAO），indoxyl sulfate （IS）and p-cresyl sulphate （PCS）] were determined by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Real-time RT-PCR and immunofluorescence assay were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of Occludin and ZO-1 in the ileum tissue. HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathologi cal changes of renal tissue. The ultrastructural changes of rat colon were observed by transmission electron microscope. RESULTS ：Compared with sham operation group ，serum contents of Scr，BUN，TMAO，PCS and IS were increased significantly in model group （P＜0.01），while urine content of Ucr ，Ccr，mRNA and protein expression of Occludin and ZO- 1 in ileum tissue were decreased significantly （P＜0.01）；renal glomerulosclerosis ， renal tubules dilation and inflammatory invasion and fibrosisin the interstitium were all found ；the intestinal epithelial barrier structure of colon tissue was severely damaged. Compared with model group ，serum contents of Scr ，BUN，TMAO，PCS and IS were decreased significantly in administration groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；the mRNA and protein expression of Occludin and ZO-1 in the ileum tissue were increased significantly （except for mRNA expression of ZO- 1 in R. palmatum -S. miltiorrhiza low-dose group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；the infiltration of inflammatory cells in renal interstitium ，the degree of fibrosis and the damage of intestinal epithelial barrier structure in colon tissue were reduced. CONCLUSIONS ：Couplet medicine of R. palmatum -S. miltiorrhiza can effectively protect the residual renal function of CRF model rats ，the mechanism of which may be associated with reducing the serum contents of enterogenous urotoxin ，up-regulating mRNA and protein expresssion of Occludin and ZO- 1 in the ileum tissue so as to improve intestinal barrier function.

OBJECTIVE@#To study the three-approach and traditional anterior medial technique to establish the femoral tunnel of position, length, and coronal angle and the early efficacy of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.@*METHODS@#Through retrospective research, from December 2018 to June 2019, a total of 36 patients diagnosed with simple anterior cruciate ligament tear and undergoing surgery were collected. All patients had a clear history of knee sprains and were divided into two groups. A group of 16 patients, including 11 males and 5 females, with an average age of (30.13±6.54) years and an injury time of 7 to 60 (30.19±15.78) days, three-approach technique was used to drill the femoral tunnel to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament. Another group of 20patients, including 15 males and 5 females, with an average age of (30.80±8.60) years, and an injury time of 7 to 60 (27.35±15.50) days, the traditional anterior medial approach was used to drill the femoral tunnel to reconstruct anterior cruciate ligament. CT 3D reconstruction technique was used to evaluate the femoral tunnel and the knee joint function was evaluated by Lysholm score of the knee joint.@*RESULTS@#All patients achieved primary healing after the surgical incision. No femoral tunnel fracture, vascular and nerve damage, difficulty in graft passage during the operation, and venous thrombosis occurred. All 36 patients were followed up on an outpatient basis, with a follow up period of 9 to 15 (12.00±2.83) months. Three-dimensional CT reconstruction was used to evaluate the femoral tunnel of the patients. The position of the femoral tunnel was described using the quartile method as the three-approach group:the lower (27.83±1.97) % of the femoral condyle and the posterior (25.57±3.20) %;the traditional approach group:the lower (28.38±3.21) % of the femoral condyle and the posterior (26.23±3.20) %. Bone tunnel length, three-approach group:(35.20±5.52) mm in total length, (23.20±2.07) mm in thick bone tunnel;traditional approach group:(34.60±4.26) mm in total length, (22.56±2.50) mm in thick bone tunnel. Coronal plane angle, three-approach group:(47.93±5.98) °;traditional approach group:(41.78±6.62) °. Knee joint Lysholm score, three-approach group:48.67±4.18 before surgery;97.00±2.48 at last follow up;traditional approach group:49.75±5.33 before surgery, 97.30±2.68 at last follow up, there were significant differences before and after surgery, no significant statistical difference between two groups.@*CONCLUSION@#The positions of the femoral tunnel drilled by the two methods were within the range of the anatomic stop of the anterior cruciate ligament, and there was no statistical difference. Compared with the traditional anterior medial approach, the coronal plane angle of the femoral tunnel drilled by the three-approach approach is relatively large, and there were no statistical differences in the length of the tunnel, the early postoperative effect of the two surgical methods, and the operation time. But the three approach has a wider and clearer vision. In addition, the knee flexion angle required for drilling the femoral tunnel during surgery is significantly smaller than that of traditional approach technology, which reduces the difficulty of surgery.

OBJECTIVE@#To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of parenting sense of competence scale (PSOC) in Chinese mothers of preschool children, and to explore the perception of preschool children's mothers on their own parenting skills and their comfort of being a parent in Yanqing District of Beijing.@*METHODS@#A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a convenience sample in 1 384 preschool children's mothers in Yanqing District of Beijing. SPSS 21.0 and Mplus 7.4 software were used for statistical analysis to test the structural validity, criterion related validity, internal consistency and split half reliability of the scale, and to analyze the score of the scale and its influencing factors.@*RESULTS@#The PSOC had good reliability and validity. Exploratory factor analysis showed that each item of the PSOC had more than 0.4 factor loading in efficacy factor or satisfaction factor, and there was no double load phenomenon. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the factor loadings ranged from 0.212 to 0.843 in efficacy factor and satisfaction factor, respectively. The goodness of fit test showed that all the fitting indexes were within the acceptable range, and the correlation between the effectiveness subscale and the satisfaction subscale was high. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the whole scale, the efficacy subscale and the satisfaction subscale were 0.872, 0.802, and 0.874, respectively. The Spearman-Brown coefficient of PSOC was 0.851. The average score of the whole scale, the efficacy subscale, and the satisfaction subscale were 72.33±11.31, 35.54±5.91, and 36.79±7.11, respectively, and the score of parenting competence in Chinese mothers of preschool children was influenced by the mother's educational level and the annual income of her family.@*CONCLUSION@#The PSOC has satisfactory reliability and validity in Chinese mothers of preschool children. It can be used as an evaluation instrument for measuring the parenting competency, self perceived efficacy and satisfaction in the mainland Chinese mothers of preschool children. The competency of preschool children's mothers in Yanqing District of Beijing is very good, which may be related to the higher education level of the mothers and the higher annual income of their families in this study.

OBJECTIVE@#To compared with the modified Robert Jones bandage of 3M elastic bandage, to evaluate the fitness, convenience, safety and comfort of the modular combination lower limb elastic compression device.@*METHODS@#Forty healthy adult college students, including 28 males and 12 females, aged 16 to 25 (20.3±2.2) years old and weighing 40 to 81 (60.4±20.2) kg, were randomly divided into two groups with 40 samples in each group. According to the body surface parameters of Chinese lower limbs and guided by the concept of modularization, a group of modular combined lower limb elastic compression device was designed. Each module was combined to evaluate the fitness of the modular combined compression device in thelength and circumference of the lower limbs. The left and right lower limbs were randomly paired and divided into groups, with 40 samples in each group. The convenience of the operation time, adjustment times and required time were compared between two groups. The safety of the two groups after 24 hours of application of pressure injury was compared. The subjective pain feeling changes within 24 hours were recorded by visual analogue scale (VAS) to evaluate the comfort.@*RESULTS@#The device was composed of several elastic compression outer lining modules with different length and width of 15 cm, an inner lining module for buffering, positioning and attaching the main body, and an elastic ankle compression module. The length of the elastic compression outer lining module covers the circumference of the human lower limbs. The length of a single outer lining module increased from 15 cm to 80 cm every 5 cm interval, and the length of a single inner lining module increased from 62 cm to 83 cm every 3 cm interval. After the modules were selected and combined, the length and circumference of the lower limbs can reach 100% fitness. The operation time of the first placement(118.23±7.33) s and re operation(60.08±5.88) s of experimental group were significantly shorter than those of control group (164.68±8.93) s and re operation (131.23±7.91) s. The adjustment times (3) and operation time (3.50±0.71) s of experimental group were significantly shorter than those of control group(11)and operation time(139.00±5.66) s (@*CONCLUSION@#The modular combined elastic compression device has good fitness, better placement and flexible adjustment, convenience and safety, and better comfort than modified Robert Jones bandage of 3M elastic bandage.
