ObjectiveTo investigate epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors among middle school students in Jiangmen. MethodsA total of 1 220 middle school students in Jiangmen were selected for the study through stratified random sampling from November to December 2020. The self-compiled general demographic questionnaire, Coping Style Scale for Middle School Students, Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (BVQ), Social Support Scale for Adolescents, and Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) were used for the assessment. Then binary Logistic regression analysis was performed to screen the factors influencing NSSI behaviors in students. ResultsA total of 204 middle school students (16.72%) were found to be engaged in NSSI behaviors, of whom 67 were male and 137 were female. There were statistically significant differences between the NSSI group and the non-NSSI group in terms of gender, school period, lodging, peer relationship and academic performance (χ2=22.162, 7.247, 6.541, 45.787, 25.097, P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with the non-NSSI group, the NSSI group scored higher on CES-D (t=-14.240) and BVQ (t=-5.952), lower on Social Support Scale for Adolescents (t=9.238). Within the Coping Style Scale for Middle School Students, NSSI group had lower problem-focused coping score (t=7.148) and higher emotion-focused coping score (t=-7.038) than those of non-NSSI group. The detection rates of school bullying, verbal and relational bullying were higher in NSSI group compared with non-NSSI group (χ2=34.215, 29.785,16.465). The differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). Binary Logistic regression showed that depression (OR=1.090, P<0.01) and school bullying (OR=1.492, P<0.05) entered into the regression model. ConclusionThe situation of NSSI behaviors of middle school students in Jiangmen is serious, and depression and school bullying are risk factors affecting NSSI behaviors in students.
摘要
A 54 years old male patient with chronic leg ulcers was admitted in our hospital in November 2017. He was diagnosed as pyoderma gangrenosum by the pathological examination. Then the wound was treated with simple vacuum sealing drainage combined with irrigation of oxygen loaded fluid. This therapy overcame the shortage of hypoxia in the Tibetan Plateau on wound healing, resulting in a better wound healing. The patient was eventually cured and discharged from hospital.
摘要
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is plasma with high concentration of platelet extracted from autologous blood. After activation, growth factors involved in wound healing are released from PRP. Current clinical investigations have demonstrated that the application of PRP seems to enhance the clinical outcome of plastic surgery, oral implantology, maxillofacial region and bone repair, and cardio-thoracic surgery. PRP can stimulate angiogenesis and promote fibroblast proliferation, therefore the application of PRP has shown good results in wound healing. However, up to date there is few current clinical researches on application of PRP on wound healing in burn patients. The application of PRP is not currently standardized, and the effects in burn wounds are poorly understood. This review is to determine if the application of PRP can enhance the clinical outcome of burns and scar formation.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the interaction between P311 and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) in murine fibroblasts and its effect on the function of fibroblasts.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Skin fibroblasts obtained from five neonatal P311 wild-type C57BL/6 mice and P311 gene knock-out C57BL/6 mice were cultured. The second passage of fibroblasts were used in the following experiments. All experiments were repeated for 3 times. (1) The fibroblasts of P311 wild-type mice were divided into blank control group and P311 over-expression group according to the random number table (the same grouping method below), with 36 wells in each group. Fibroblasts in blank control group were transfected with 10 μL control vector, and fibroblasts in P311 over-expression group were transfected with equal efficiency P311 expression adenovirus vector. After being cultured for 48 hours, the mRNA expression level of P311, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of TGF-β1, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and collagen type I of fibroblasts in both groups were determined with real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting (the same detection methods below), respectively. (2) After cultured reaching the cell density of 80%-90%, the mRNA and protein expression levels of TGF-β1, α-SMA, and collagen type I of the fibroblasts of P311 wild-type mice and P311 gene knock-out mice, with 4 flasks in each type of fibroblasts, were determined. (3) The fibroblasts of P311 wild-type mice were divided into blank control group and 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 ng/mL TGF-β1 groups after being starved treatment with DMEM medium containing 1% FBS for 3 hours, with 2 flasks in each group. Fibroblasts in blank control group were routinely cultured, while fibroblasts in the latter five groups were treated with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 ng/mL TGF-β1, respectively. After being cultured for 48 hours, the mRNA expression levels of P311 in fibroblasts of the six groups were determined. Another fibroblasts of P311 wild-type mice were divided into blank control group and 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 group, with 6 wells in each group, and the protein expression levels of P311 in both groups were determined by immunofluorescence staining. (4) The fibroblasts of P311 wild-type mice were divided into blank control group and 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 group after being starved treatment as above, with 2 flasks in each group, and fibroblasts in blank control group were routinely cultured, while fibroblasts in the latter group were treated with 10 ng/mL TGF-β1. After being cultured for 48 hours, the mRNA and protein expression levels of α-SMA and collagen type Ⅰ were determined. The fibroblasts of P311 gene knock-out mice were grouped and treated as above, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of α-SMA and collagen type I were determined. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance and t test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) The mRNA expression level of P311 of fibroblasts in P311 over-expression group was increased nearly 300 000-fold compared with that in blank control group (t=9.942, P<0.001). The mRNA expression levels of TGF-β1, α-SMA, and collagen type I of fibroblasts in P311 over-expression group, and the protein expression levels of pro-TGF-β1, activated TGF-β1, α-SMA, and collagen type I of fibroblasts in P311 over-expression group were significantly higher than those in blank control group (with t values from 8.192 to 49.090, P values below 0.01). (2) The mRNA expression levels of TGF-β1, α-SMA, and collagen type I in fibroblasts of P311gene knock-out mice were significantly lower than those in fibroblasts of P311 wild-type mice (with t values from 8.157 to 22.270, P values below 0.01). The protein expression levels of pro-TGF-β1, α-SMA, and collagen type I in fibroblasts of P311 gene knock-out mice were significantly lower than those in fibroblasts of P311 wild-type mice (with t values from 2.995 to 12.600, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the protein expression levels of active TGF-β1 were similar in two types of fibroblasts (t=1.070, P>0.05). (3) The mRNA expression levels of P311 of fibroblasts in blank control group and 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 ng/mL TGF-β1 groups were 1.28 ± 0.44, 3.61 ± 0.91, 6.64 ± 0.92, 6.58 ± 1.04, 1.79 ± 0.31, 0.16 ± 0.06, respectively. Compared to the mRNA expression level of P311 of fibroblasts in the blank control group, the mRNA expression levels of P311 of fibroblasts in 5 and 20 ng/mL TGF-β1 groups were similar (with t values respectively 2.302 and 0.955, P values above 0.05), while they were significantly higher in 10 and 15 ng/mL TGF-β1 groups (with t values respectively 5.630 and 4.710, P values below 0.001), and they were significantly lower in 25 ng/mL TGF-β1 group (t=2.509, P<0.01). The protein expression level of P311 of fibroblasts in 10 ng/mL group was higher than that in blank control group. (4) The mRNA and protein expression levels of α-SMA and collagen type I of fibroblasts of P311 wild-type mice in 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 group were significantly higher than those in blank control group (with t values from 3.523 to 14.290, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expression levels of α-SMA and collagen type I of fibroblasts of P311 gene knock-out mice in 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 group were significantly higher than those in blank control group (with t values from 4.895 to 14.870, P<0.05 or P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The interaction between P311 and TGF-β1 in murine fibroblasts exists and it may enhance the differentiation of fibroblasts in combination.</p>

Objective To analyze the clinical data, including clinical features, treatment, and prognosis,in patients with different kinds of pituitary adenomas. Methods In this retrospective study, 746 cases were included. The characteristics of general epidemiology, clinical symptoms, pathology, imaging, treatment, and prognosis were analyzed. Results Clinical features were different among various pituitary adenomas. Symptoms caused by mass effect and hormone abnormality were expresssed in varying degrees. Serum prolactin>121.28 μg/L can differentiate the prolactin adenoma from the other huge tumor causing hyperprolactinemia due to the mass effect. There is significant relationship between the size and the various types of pituitary adenomas ( P<0.01 ),also between the size and the invasive capability ( P<0.01 ). Conclusions The pituitary adenomas may have their specific epidemiological, clinical, pathological, and imaging features, due to the distinct biological behavior. It is necessary to do the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis evaluation individually.
