Objectives To gain a deeper understanding of the role of the basal ganglia in implicit learning by examining Weather Prediction Category Learning Task among patients with basal ganglia stroke.Methods Seventeen patients with basal ganglia stroke including eight cases of left basal ganglia lesions and nine cases of right basal ganglia lesions.Ten cases without brain damage were used as contr0l.All of the subjects were tested by use of Weather Prediction Category Learning Task(WPCLT) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST)in 3 consecutive days.Results The patients with right basal ganglia lesions were consistently impaired compared with the controls((52.72±5.57)%vs(61.85±8.49)%,F=3.55,P=0.048);(55.83±4.52)%vs(71.85±10.89)%,F=7.74,P=0.003);(62.33±7.70)%vs(80.15±6.67)%,F=10.96,P=0.001)),and the patients with right basal ganglia lesions were impaired in the last day(F=10.96,P=0.009).But in patients of left and right basal ganglia lesions,the learning potential of WPCLT decreased significantly compared with the control(P<0.01).In the control group,the WPCLT total number of correct and WCST Number of Categories Completed were hishly related in the second day.The WPCLT total number of correct correlated significantly with Percent Errors and Number of Categories Completed of WCST in the third day.Conclusion The basal ganglia lesions may decrease implicit learning,and the bottom-up(implicit-to-explicit)learning pattern is impaired in patients with basal ganglia lesions.

Objective To preliminarily develop a lifestyle self-assessment scale being suitable for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and test its reliability and validity.Methods 98 patients with PCOS were surveyed by behavior questionnaire including somatic symptom,psychological behavior,life habits and social function.The lifestyle self-assessment scale for PCOS including 19 items was generated by factor analysis with cutting items and adjusting structure and tests of the reliability and validity.Then,40 patients with PCOS and 40healthy controls were surveyed to test the scale' discriminant validity.ResultsThe lifestyle self-assessment scale for PCOS was consisted by 19 items which generated 5 factors (each characteristic root > 1,cumulative rate =56.625% ).The Crunbach' sα was 0.626 ~ 0.826 and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.709 ~0.822.There were significant differences in three factors containing exercise consciousness,physique cognition and rhythm of life in the scale between PCOS and control group.Conclusion This scale accords with the living habits characteristics of PCOS patients and can provide guidance and basis for lifestyle intervention.

Objective To analyze the correlation between clinical mental personality,coping style,social support and depression,anxiety for patients with chronic hepatitis B,and their treatment strategies.Methods A total of 66 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB group) and 72 normal people (control group) were investigated by the questionnaire,such as the demographic history questionnaire,Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ),Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ),Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS),Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMD) were assessed.Results The HAMD score and HAMA score of hepatitis B group were significantly higher than that of the control group.Pearson correlation analysis showed that depressive symptoms was negatively correlated with positive coping,family support,extroversion,and was positively correlated with neuroticism.Multiple linear regression analysis showed family support,active coping,neuroticism and psychosis were all included in the regression equation and can predict depressive symptoms (3 values,0.002,0.003,0.004,0.022,respectively).Neuroticism,positive responded to the two independent variables (β values,0.003,0.011,respectively) into the regression equation,and can predict anxiety symptoms.Conclusion The patients with chronic hepatitis B were more prone to suffer from depression and anxiety than normal people,depressive symptoms are closely related to the neuroticism and neuroticism.The anxiety symptoms are related to neuroticism.The neurotic personality traits,lack of positive coping strategies and out-of-home support may lead to depression and anxiety.Depression and anxiety symptoms can be avoided by improving the patient's personality characteristics,and actively responding and enhancing the social support system outside the home soas to reduce depression,anxiety symptoms in patients with hepatitis B.
