The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between different models of sexual morality education and the mental health level of female college students, to provide a scientific basis for college conduct an effective sexual morality education program that can improve the psychologic health level of female college students. The experimental and control groups were comprised of female college students who received different models of sexual morality education. Total and factor scores derived from the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL90) were compared between these groups. The total mental health SCL90 score for female college students in the control group was 1.48 ± 0.39, and the scores of 3 factors including SCL90-3 (interpersonal sensitivity, P

The aim of this study was to explore the impact of social support on female college students’ sexual mental health (SMH) on the basis of realizing the current status of their SMH. A total of 627 female college students from 5 colleges and universities in Hangzhou were enrolled in the study and provided with questionnaires to evaluate their SMH and social support rating scale. The scores of SMH and social support were 2.46 ± 0.29 and 38.29 ± 4.37, respectively. The scores of SMH of female college students in different grades and places of origin were significantly different (P

Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text, Although epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been proved synergistic effect when combined with cytotoxic agents for advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the results of relevant clinical trials remain controversial. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess the advantage and toxicity profile of chemotherapy plus EGFR-mAbs versus chemotherapy alone for patients with NSCLC. We rigorously searched electronic databases for eligible studies reporting EGFR-mAbs combined with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for patients with advanced NSCLC. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). Pooled results were calculated using proper statistical methods. Nine phase II/III randomized controlled trials involved a total of 4949 participants were included. In general, compared with chemotherapy alone, the addition of EGFR-mAbs significantly improved OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.91, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.86–0.97, P = 0.006), progression-free survival (HR = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.87–0.98, P = 0.01), response rate (odd ratio [OR] = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.12–1.47, P = 0.0003), and disease control rate (OR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.01–1.36, P = 0.04). Subgroup analysis showed that apparent OS benefit present in patients with squamous NSCLC (HR = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.74–0.93, P = 0.001), and those treatment-naive population (HR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.82–0.95, P = 0.0006). Several manageable adverse events were markedly increased by EGFR-mAbs, such as acne-like rash, infusion reactions, and diarrhea. The risk for some ≥Grade 3 toxicities, such as leukopenia, febrile neutropenia, and thromboembolic events were slightly increased by the addition of EGFR-mAbs. In general, the toxicities of the combination strategy were tolerable and manageable. The addition of EGFR-mAbs to chemotherapy provided superior clinical benefit along with acceptable toxicities to patients with advanced NSCLC, especially those harboring squamous cancer and treatment-naive. Further validation in front-line investigation, proper selection of the potential benefit population by tumor histology, and development of prognostic biomarkers are warranted for future research and clinical application of EGFR-mAbs.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether depressive symptoms are associated with suicidal ideation among university students in China. Five Chinese and English electronic databases (EBSCO, PubMed, Chinese Web of Knowledge, Wanfang, and Weipu) were searched to identify relevant studies. Cross-sectional studies published from 2000 to 2016 reporting about the association between depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation among university students in China were used for meta-analysis to approximate the overall association between depression and suicidal ideation among university students in mainland China. StatsDirect 3 was used for meta-analysis of included literatures. Of 513 initially identified references, 44 studies were selected, including 88,431 participants with depressive symptoms. The combined odd ratio of the relationship was 2.174 (95% confidence interval: 2.027–2.333; P
