Health-related quality of life and its factors in Chinese people with depression and anxiety: A national multi-center cross-sectional study.

Background: The prevalence of depression and anxiety in Chinese population has been increasing in recently years, yet the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of people with depression and anxiety remains unclear.

Objective: To evaluate the HRQoL of individuals with depression and anxiety in China and to explore the factors influencing it.

Methods: The study population was divided into a depressed group and non-depressed group, as well as an anxious group and non-anxious group.

Age-dependent winner-loser effects in a mangrove rivulus fish, Kryptolebias marmoratus.

The outcomes of recent fights can provide individuals information about their relative fighting ability and affect their contest decisions (winner-loser effects). Most studies investigate the presence/absence of the effects in populations/species, but here we examine how they vary between individuals of a species in response to age-dependent growth rate. Many animals' fighting ability is highly dependent on body size, so rapid growth makes information from previous fights unreliable.

Ursolic Acid Inhibits the Proliferation of Gastric Cancer Cells by Targeting miR-133a.

Ursolic acid (UA), a potential chemotherapeutic agent, has the properties of inhibition of the growth of many human cancer cell lines. Whether UA can inhibit the growth and metastasis of human gastric cancer cells remains unknown. In this study, it was found that UA inhibited the growth and metastasis of human gastric cancer cells in vitro.

MyD88 expression is associated with paclitaxel resistance in lung cancer A549 cells.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) expression and the resistance to paclitaxel of A549 lung cancer cells. In order to achieve MyD88 gene overexpression or knockdown in the A549 cell line, the cells were infected with lentivirus carrying MyD88 gene or shRNA to MyD88. MyD88 mRNA and protein expression was measured by RT-qPCR, immunohistochemistry and western blotting after infection for confirmation.

[Efficacy evaluation of acupoints massage on asthenopia of video display terminal under different exposure dose].

Objective: To observe the efficacy differences of acupoints massage for asthenopia of video display terminal (VDT) under different exposure dose.

Methods: One hundred and two cases (204 eyes) were divided into a low exposure group and a high exposure group, fifty-one cases in each group. The same intervention of acupoints massage on Cuanzhu (BL 2), Jingming (BL 1), Sizhukong (TE 23), Sibai (ST 2) and Taiyang(EX-HN 5) were given to the two groups, one acupoint for 5 min and once everyday, one month of which made a course.
