Methods: MHS-C were administered to 9278 children and adolescent aged 6-18 years or their parents from 12 Provinces of China, 143 children with mental disorders. 87 children were re-tested with MHS-C at interval of 5 weeks, 30 children were administered MHS-C and Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist as criteria test, 56 children and their parents were administered MHS-C. The reliabilities and validities of the MHS-C were examined using Pearson's correlations and factor analysis. Results: The MHS-C had good reliabilities (re-test reliability 0.713, Crobach ? 0.847,spilit reliability 0.800, rater reliability 0.874); The scores of normal children were higher than that of children with mental disorders on the MHS-C(F=63.34-238.8,P

Objective To investigate deficient inhibitory control in individuals with IAD using a visual go/no-go task by ERPs. Methods 26 individuals met YDQ criteria for IAD were enrolled as research group and marched sexual and age 26 healthy person enrolled as control group. BIS-11 was used for measures of impulsivity.A go/no-go task involved eight different two-digit numerical stimuli. The response window was 1000 ms and the ITIwas 1500 ms. EEG was recorded during participants performed the task. BESA 5.2.0 was used to perform data analysis and the no-go N2 amplitude was analyzed for investigation of inhibitory control. Results BIS-11 total scores, attentional key scores and motor key in IAD group were higher than that of control group. In the go/no-go task, false alarm rate of IAD group was higher and hit rate was lower than that of control group. A repeated measure ANOVA revealed a significant group, frontal electrode sites and group × frontal electrode sites main effect for N2amplitudes of no-go conditions ( for group: F= 3953, df= 1, P= 0.000;for frontal electrode sites: F= 541, df= 9, P= 0.000;for group × frontal electrode sites: F = 306, df = 9, P = 0. 000 ), and a significant group, central electrode sites and group × central electrode sites main effect for N2 amplitudes of no-go conditions ( for group: F=9074, df= 1, P = 0. 000;for central electrode sites: F = 163, df= 2, P = 0.000;for group × central electrode sites: F = 73, df= 2, P = 0.000). N2 amplitudes of no-go conditions were lower than those at control group. Conclusions Individuals with IAD were more impulsive than controls and shared neuropsychological and ERPs characteristics of compulsive-impulsive spectrum disorder, which supports that IAD is an impulse disorder or at leastrelated to impulse control disorder.

Objective To investigate the effects of supported employment(SE) on the vocational rehabilitation for schizophrenic rehabilitants.Methods 108 schizophrenic rehabilitants with stable conditions were recruited and randomly allocated into the control group and experimental group.Fifty-four cases in the control group received the general outpatient service and follow-up service with drug maintenance therapy and 54 cases in the experimental group received SE with drug maintenance therapy.At the baseline and the end of the sixth month,all of the 108 cases were assessed by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Work-related Social Skills Scale (WSSS) respectively.The competitive employment rate and average working days of the two groups were evaluated at the end of the sixth month.Results There was no significant difference in the total score of WSSS,and the total score of PANSS and its sub-scores on the Positive Scale,Negative Scale and General Psychopathological Scale betweeu the two groups at the baseline(P＞ 0.05).At the cnd of the sixth months,significant differences (P＜0.01 ～ 0.05) were found in the total score of WSSS,the sub-score of the Negative Scale,the competitive employment rate and the average working days((35.11 ± 12.71) d vs(20.15 ± 8.04) d) between the experimental and control groups.Conclusion SE can increase the employment rate of schizophrenic rehabilitants,improve their abilities to acquire and maintain competitive employment,and meanwhile relieve their negative symptoms.

BACKGROUND:Transfusion guidelines pointed out:whole blood should be stored at (4±2)℃. The bacterial growth or loss of function should occur if the blood leaves the suitable storage conditions. Recipients wil suffer from different degrees of blood transfusion reaction or invalid infusion.
OBJECTIVE:To observe morphology of erythrocytes of autologous blood stored at different temperatures using microscope.
METHODS:Blood was obtained from 40 cases of acute normovolemic hemodilution and stored in ACD citrate bags. Whole blood was respectively stored at 4 ℃ and 23 ℃. Blood smear was taken respectively in the blood storage immediately, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours after col ecting autologous blood. Changes in morphology of erythrocytes were observed with a microscope. Deformity rate of erythrocytes was calculated. Six blood samples were randomly selected to test pH, K+, and free hemoglobin respectively in 6-hour common temperature group and ACD banked blood within the valid period. Six blood samples were randomly selected for the bacterial culture in each group of two groups at 6 hours.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no significant differences in abnormality rates of erythrocytes between 4 ℃ and common temperature groups at each time point. The pH, K+, free hemoglobin at six hours in the common temperature group were better than those of ACD banked blood within the valid period and there was no bacterial growth in culture between the two groups. Therefore, it is feasible to transfuse autologous blood back to the patient within 6 hours of storage at room temperature.

Objective To establish a real-time fluorescence quantitative methylation assay to investigate the methylation status of GSH-sulphur-transferase P1(GSTP1) gene promoter region in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and to investigate whether which can be used as the early diagnostic indicator of HCC .Methods Ninety-five serum samples were collected from 40 patients with HCC ,30 patients with liver cirrhosis and 25 individuals with healthy physical examination as controls .The methylation level of GSTP1 gene in these serum samples were quantitatively determined by using the real-time fluorescence quantitative methylated spe-cific PCR technique .The receiver-operation characteristic(ROC) curves were adopted to evaluate its diagnostic value for HCC .Re-sults The methylation quantitative level of GSTP1 gene in HCC serum was significantly higher than that in the healthy controls (P<0 .05) .The ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the methylation quantitative analysis of GSTP1 gene could efficiently distin-guish HCC and cirrhosis from healthy controls (AUC=0 .8641) .With the methylation rate of 2% as the critical value for diagno-sing HCC ,its diagnostic specificity was 87 .5% ,the sensitivity was 69 .6% ;the combination detection of serum GSTP1 gene methy-lation and serum AFP could increase the detection rate of HCC to 75% .Conclusion The real-time fluorescence quantitative methyl-ation assay can accurately quantify the methylation level of serum GSTP1 gene ,which has certain application value for the early di-agnosis of HCC .

Objective To observe the protective effect of progesterone(PROG) on rat retinal ganglion cells(RGCs) in chronic ocular hypertention models.Methods The chronic ocular hypertention rat model was made by cauterizating three episcleral veins.Rats were divided into control group,high level PROG group,middle level PROG group,low level PROG group according to different concentrations of PROG injected intraperitoneally.The left eye was model eye and the right eye was control eye.Three months later,the animals were executed and the eyeballs were enucleated.The RGCs were detected by HE staining and Thy-1.1 immunohistological staining.The apoptosis of RGCs was detected by TdT-dUDP terminal nick end-labeling(TUNEL) technique.Results The number of RGCs of model eyes in high level PROG injection group was more than those in control group,low level and middle level groups(P

BACKGROUND:Hereditary factor occupies a certain position in suicidal behavior of depression. The researches in the past are focused on the hereditary effect on bipolar depression suicide.How do hereditary patterns and effects work in suicidal behavior in unipolar depression?OBJECTIVE: To probe into hereditary patterns and effects on suicidal behavior in unipolar depression.DESIGN:Retrospective investigation.SETTING:A municipal psychiatric hygienic centerPARTICIPANTS:Unipolar depression group included 115 outpatients and inpatients diagnosed in Wuxi Psychiatric Hygienic Center from June 1st 1983 to May 31st 2002.The diagnosis tallied with Standards on Depression Onset in Categories and Diagnostic Standards on Psychiatric Disturbance in China of 3rd Edition and with Standards on Severe Depression Onset in Manual of Diagnosis and Statistics of Psychiatric Disturbance in America of 4th Edition.The attack frequency of all the cases ≥ 3 times or the cases had been relieved ≥8 years after a couple of attacks.METHODS:The patients who tallied with the standards on unipolar depression received the investigation in every family tree under the instruction of 2 physicians-in-charge and more than 2 physicians and filled up the self-made investigation form of psychiatric family tree,including mainly the data of social demography of patients and their first grade relatives,characters of disease onset,frequency of attack,history of treatment and suicide. After re-diagnosed by 2 physicians-incharge and more than 2 physicians and checked by one physician-incharge,the cases were collected in patient group. The interview was carried on for the patients with suicidal behavior among all of the survived patients (107 cases) and first grade relatives (14 cases).The interview (337 cases) and investigation with letter (380 cases) were carried on for the first grade relatives without suicidal behavior. The investigation forms of 13 dead cases (8 cases of patients, 5 cases of first-grade relatives) were provided and filled-up by one or two first grade relatives. Two researchers interviewed the cases in the control,inquired the first grade relatives and filled up the investigation form of family tree.Single factor analysis was used for all the data and Falconer pattern of polygenetic threshold-value theory was used to estimate hereditary rate and standard error in suicidal behavior.Separation analysis in medical hereditary mathematic method and polygenetic threshold-value theory were applied to discuss the hereditary patterns.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Hereditary effects and patterns of suicidal behavior in unipolar depressed patients.RESULTS:Suicidal risk of unipolar depressed patients(51.30%,59/115)was higher than their first grade relatives (2.58%,19/736) (x2=283.16,P ＜ 0.01).Suicidal risk of the first grade relatives (2.58%,19/736) of unipolar depressed patients was higher than the control (0.12%,3/2469)(x2=50.36,P ＜ 0.01).Suicidal risk of the first grade relatives of the patients with suicidal behavior (3.8%,14/372) was higher than that of the first grade relatives of the patients without suicidal behavior (1.4%,5/363)(x2=4.14,P＜ 0.05).The weighted average hereditary rate and standard error was (70.16±0.79)% for suicidal behavior in unipolar depression.The predictive morbidity of suicidal behavior in the first grade relatives was 3.1% and the real morbidity was 2.6%,which did not indicate significant difference (u =0.766, P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION:Suicidal behavior of unipolar depression presents obvious hereditary effects and its hereditary patterns tally with polygenetic inheritance.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by incompletely reversible airflow limitation and progressive course.The pathogenesis of COPD is complicated.Clinical symptoms include declining pulmonary function, airway and lung inflammation, cough, emaciation, low activity and so on.In the past, the medications for COPD treatment were mainly bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs.With the better understanding of its pathogenesis, anti-oxidative drugs have also been used in the clinical treatment of COPD recently.This article reviews the development of drugs which include bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-oxidative drugs for the therapy of COPD.
