BACKGROUND:At present,most general hospitals in China treat patients with neurosis and mental diseases merely by means of clinical psychological consultation,which cannot meet the requirements of social service for metal disorders. Is it feasible to establish open psychology wards?OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of establishing open psychology ward in general hospitals for patients with neurosis and mental diseases.DESIGN:Case analysis based on patients.SETTING:Department of Psychology of Guangdong Medical College Affiliated Hospital.PARTICIPANTS:Totally 900 patients with various types of neurosis were admitted to the Department of Psychology of Guangdong Medical College Affiliated Hospital between July 2000 and March 2003.There were 688 patients with different kinds of psychoneurosis and112 cases of mental diseases. Of them,there were 523 men and 377women aged from 11 to 80 years.with the mean age of (42±8) years and hospitalization duration of(17.0±6.5) days.METHODS:Open management consisting of open ward,supporting system,humanized restriction,collective physical exercise and psychological support was adopted.Symptom checklist (SCL-90) was used by trained psychological doctors to assess the therapeutic effects in the 900 patients with neurosis and mental diseases after two-month rehabilitation.Meanwhile,169 patients with depression were examined with Hamilton rating scale for depression(HAMD) at 2,4,8 weeks of treatment.patients.RESULTS:Open psychology ward could provide an environment for patients to live and make free contact with the outside world. Of the 900patients with various neurosis and metal diseases,531 (59.0%) had recovery to normal,264(29.4%) had obvious improvement,81(9.0%) had improvement,and 24 (2.6%) had no therapeutic effect,with the total effective rate of 97.4% .None of the patients had any accident. HAMD score of the 169 patients with depression was (32.3±3.6) before treatment,was obviously lower at 2,4 and 8 weeks of treatment [(17.4±4.2),(11.5±4.8) and(5.8±3.6),respectively](P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION:The therapeutic effect of the open psychology ward in the general hospital on various neuropathies and mental diseases was 97.4% in the 900 cases,with no accident occurring during hospitalization.Depression of the 169 patients was obviously improved,indicating that it isfeasible to establish open psychology ward in general hospitals.

Objective To evaluate the effect of crisis intervention on prevention of patients with mental disorder who had suicide ideas or attempt to commit resuicide.Methods 280 patients with mental disorder,holding suicidal ideas or attempting to suicide were randomly divided into the intervention group and control group with 140 cases in each group.The diagnosis of all patients was accorded with the CCMD-3 criteria.The cases of the control group only accepted routine treatments and cares in the hospital,and drug maintenance therapy after discharge.The cases of the intervention group accepted a comprehensive treatment of crisis intervention except the routine treatments.All cases were evaluated when they were admitted and 6 and 12 months after discharged.Results After discharged 6 months and 12 months,the social supports and treatments compliance of the intervention group were better than that of the control group(P<0.01),while suicidal ideas and the numbers of suicides were less than the control group significantly.Conclusion The crisis intervention can improve patients' social supporting and treatment compliance,eliminate their suicide ideas,and prevent the patients committing resuicide significantly.

For investigating the epidemiology and genetic characteristics of enterovirus 71 (EV71) in Fujian from 2010 to 2015,we analyzed the surveillance data of EV71 and sequenced VP1 genes of 72 EV71 strains randomly picked from the past 6 years.The overall infection rate was gradually down and one incidence peak (from May to July) was observed each year.Major infectious population were focused on Xiamen,Fuzhou,Nanping and Quanzhou,the ages ranged from one to three years old.Scattered children were the most infected ones.The proportion of EV71 in the severe case was higher than in the HMFD(χ2 =732.064 5,P＜0.000 1).EV71 circulated from 2010 to 2015 in Fujian Province was belonged to subgenotype C4a in consistent with vaccine strain (H07).Compared with the VP1 of vaccine strains,the divergence of complete VP1 nucleotide sequence was gradually expanding as time distance increased,but the sequence of amino acid was not found obvious difference.Variations in 4 key immune epitopes of amino acid had not appeared a regular pattern in year and not consistent with the trend of proportion of EV71 in HMFD.As a result,we considered the epidemiology characteristics of EV71 in Fujian was obvious,72 strains still belonged to C4a subgenotype and had no outstanding antigenic drift or mutation.Extensive epidemiology surveillance and genetic characteristic are needed for the application of EV71 vaccine.

Objective:To evaluate the vital signs changes,influence factors in different grades of hy-pertension patients during the treatment of acute pulpitis,in order to obtain the risk prevention measures. Methods:In this study,90 different grades of hypertension patients with acute pulpitis were recruited from February 201 4 to February 201 5 in the Department of Oral Emergency,Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology.The information about the patients’general health,oral treatment,life signs of change information was collected.Patients were divided into high risk group,middle risk group, and low risk group (30 patients for each group).Results:(1 )Compared with the preoperative,systolic blood pressure (90%),diastolic blood pressure (80%),heart rate increase (1 00%)were increased in the high risk group.The increase rates of the middle risk group and the low risk group were significantly lower than those of the high risk group (P<0.01 ).At the same time,the systolic blood pressure of 1 /4 (26.7%)patients in high risk group increased more than 20 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.1 33 kPa),and the diastolic blood pressure of 2/5 patients in high risk group increased more than 1 0 mmHg,the difference was statistically significant compared with the other two groups (P<0.05).(2)Compared with the pre-operative,the average increase of the maximum peak were increased [systolic blood pressure (1 8.0 ± 1 .5)mmHg,diastolic blood pressure (8.0 ±1 .7)mmHg],the mean of heart rate changes [(7.0 ± 0.3)beats per minute]was also increased in the high risk group,while these two indicators were de-creased in the low risk group and the middle risk group.The electrocardiogram (ECG)was changed in 6 cases during the treatment in the high risk group.No significantly changed were observed in the low risk group and the middle risk group.(3 ) Compared the risk assessment in preoperative with that in postoperative,in the middle risk group,23 cases were evaluated as medium risk in final evaluation,6 as low risk,and 1 as high risk (risk assessment increased);in the high risk group,20 cases were evaluated as high risk,7 as very high risk,and 3 as medium risk (risk assessment decreased).Conclusion:Oral treatment is very safe for patients with hypertension,but the risk factor,target organ damage,and com-plications will also increase the risk of cardiovascular events in elderly patients during the acute pulpitis treatment.Dentist should take some measures to avoid the risks.
