Objective:To study the relationship between sleep quality and psychosocial factors in prison police officers.Methods:Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ),Life Event Scale(LES) and Coping Style Questionnaire(CSQ) were used to evaluate the sleep status and psychosocial factors of 2093 prison police officers of Guangdong Province Prison Administration Bureau.Results:Their average score of PSQI was 7.10?3.68.40.71% of them had sleep problems.The scores of PSQI were correlated positively with the scores of N,negative life events,self-blame and rationalization,and negatively with working out a solution.Conclusion:The sleep quality problem of the prison police officers is serious.Their sleep disorder is obviously related to their mood stability,enduring negativity life events and coping style.

Objective: To study the state of prison police officers'sleep quality and anxiety, depression and their relationship. Methods: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) , Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were evaluated the sleep, anxiety and depression status of 2093 prison police officers of Guangdong Province Prison Administration Bureau. Results: The average score of PSQI was 7. 10 ?3.68, 40.71% had sleep problem. The average score of SAS was 41. 64 ?7. 66, 11. 94% officers had anxiety problem. The average score of SDS was 45. 11?8. 01, and 26. 99% had depression problem. The score of PSQI among policemen was higher than that of policewomen officers. The anxiety problem and the SAS? SDS score of the age over 35 years old persons was higher than that of the age below 35 (7. 2 ?3.6/6.7 ?3.9, t =2. 1, P

Objective To explore the prevalence of metabolic syndrome( MetS) and its components in patients with bipolar disorder and their lifestyle. Methods Collected 148 cases of bipolar disorder in patients with body mass index (BMI),blood glucose,blood pressure,triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein( HDL-C) etc, and self-compiled scale was used to assess their lifestyle. All patients were followed 6 months. The patients werecompared with 65 normal controls. Results The patients group in the baseline period,treatment after 1 months,3 months and 6 months,the incidence of MetS was as followed:11.5% ,15.5% ,18.2% ,20.9%. The patients at all stages,the incidence of MetS,BMI≥25kg/m2 ,high TG levels,low HDL-C levels and hypertension were significantly higher than the control (P<0.01). After 6 months of treatment the incidence of MetS,hypertriglyceridemia were higher than baseline (P < 0.05). The patients group' s work intensity, frequency of exercise, eat more than 3 times per day compared with the control group were significantly different (P<0.01, P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of MetS and hyperuricemia in patients with bipolar disorder after treatment is higher than the control group; as a continuation of the treatment,the incidence of metabolic abnormalities increased gradually. Unhealthy lifestyle, lack of exercise,unreasonable diet maybe increase the risk of metabolic disorders.

Objective To explore the relationship between sleep disorder and management strategies in the elderly patients with primary hypertension.Methods The sleep status of 122 elderly patients with primary hypertension was evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) and Coping Style Questionnaire(CSQ).Results The mean score of PSQI was 8.34±3.81,and 63.93% (78/122) of the participants experienced sleep disorder.The most commonly used management strategy wag "problem-solving" (0.74±0.18) and "rationalization" (0.56±0.19).The management strategies were different by gender and age.The lowest score was found in the "ask-for-help" group(t=2.326,P=0.022),which was negatively related with sleep disorders (r=-0.208,P=0.022).Conclusions Intervention of management strategy in elderly patients with primary hypertension may help to improve their sleep quality.

ObjectiveTo explore the personality traits of Han Chinese women with recurrent depression.MethodsAssessed by the Big Five Inventory (BFI),a comparison research was conducted between 118 Han Chinese women with recurrent depression and 65 sex,race and culture background matched health controls.Results Han Chinese women with recurrent depression scored lower in extraversion,conscientiousness and openness ( 17.93± 5.43,30.24 ± 5.94,30.03 ± 7.33 ) than matched controls ( 20.72 ± 3.79,31.94 ± 3.84,32.75 ± 5.32 ),while scored higher in neuroticism (21.38 ± 3.91) than the later one ( 27.57 ± 6.19 ).A binary logistic regression model,with group (case vs.control) as dependent variable and extroversion,conscientiousness,openness and neuroticism as independent variables,was built to assess each personality dimension's independent impact on recurrent depression.It came out to be that only extraversion ( OR =0.881,95％ CI =0.083-0.966,P=0.007) and neuroticism ( OR =1.225,95％ CI =1.134-1.323,P ＜ 0.01 ) were statistically significantly associated with recurrent depression ( P＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionIn the big five personality model,extraversion and neuroticism might act as independent personality traits to impact Han Chinese women with recurrent depression in a positive and negative way respectively.

Objective To investigate the state of perceived stigma,self-efficacy and quality of life of patients with mental disorders,and analyze the relationship among these variables,and explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy between the perceived stigma and quality of life.Methods Totally 406 patients with mental disorders were assessed with the Perceived Devaluation-Discrimination Scale (PDDS),Self-efficacy Scale (SES) and Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQOLS).Results The average score of PDDS was (2.44±0.36).The average score of GSES was (25.75±7.31).The perceived stigma,self-efficacy and quality of life were significantly correlated with each other.The self-efficacy played a mediating role between perceived stigma and quality of life.Conclusions The self-efficacy is the intermediary variable of perceived stigma and QOL of patients with mental disorders.

ObjectiveTo investigate the psychological state and distribution of emotional symptoms of women during peri-menopause.Methods56 women with some emotional disorder (sick group) and 37 women without emotional symptom (control group) peri-menopause were measured with Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90).ResultsThe scores of total, quantity of positive items,average of positive,somatic factor,compulsion,depression and anxiety,phobia in sick group were more than that of control group significantly.ConclusionWomen during peri-menopause present serious emotional disorder mainly in somatization, compulsion,depression, anxiety and phobia.

Objective To explore the risk factors of antidepressant treatment emergent suicidal ideas or attempted suicide among patients with bipolar depression. Methods Out of 623 patients with bipolar disorder visiting between June 2006 and June 2009,68 who was initially diagnosed as unipolar disorder and treated with antidepressants were retrospectively surveyed. Suicide and activation symptoms during the process of antidepressant treatment were estimated based on the cases record and semi-structural interviews. Unconditional bivariate logistic regression was conducted to analyze the potential risk factors. Results Of 68 patients,7 ( 10. 3% ) experienced antidepressant treatment emergent suicidal ideas and 4 ( 5.9% ) attempted suicide after 2 to 63 ( 17.45 ± 5.90 )days following the treatment. The antidepressant treatment emergent suicidal ideas or attempted suicide were related to the suicidal level before treatment (P= 0. 012, OR = 2. 072 ) and the combined use of benzodiazepine (P =0. 043, OR = 0.236). Clinical subtypes, gender, age, symptoms feature, types of antidepressant and antidepressanttreatment emergent activation symptoms had little impact on the antidepressant treatment emergent suicidal ideas orattempted suicide (P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusion The antidepressant treatment emergent suicidal ideas or attempted suicide among patients with bipolar depression are positively related to the suicidal level before treatment while negatively associated with the combined use of benzodiazepine.

Objective To explore the changes of the white matter integrity in paranoid schizophrenia.Methods Diffusion weighted images of the 19 patients' with paranoid schizophrenia and 30 healthy controls'whole brains were acquired with a single-shot echo planar imaging ( EPI ) sequence aligned to the straight axial plane. After preprocessed with DTI-studio and SPM5 software, the fractional anisotropy (FA) images of the two groups were compared by two-sample t-test with SPM5 software. Results Subjects of paranoid schizophrenia demonstrated reduced FA in the right thalamus white matter(x = 18 ,y = - 10,z = 14,cluster = 194, t= -3.27, P=0.000 ) and demonstrated increased FA in the right insula white matter ( x = 34, y = -10, z = 12, cluster = 113, t =4.50, P = 0.004 ). Conclusion Schizophrenia has conflicting changes of white matter integrity in some brain areas.

Objective To investigate the association of duration of untreated psychosis(DUP) and the gray matter volumes in patients with first-episode schizophrenia.Methods 39 patients with first-episode schizophrenia were divided into two groups according to DUP:long-DUP group and short-DUP group.All the subjects underwent T1 weighted magnetic resonance imaging.After transformed with MRIcro software,all the images underwent standardization,segmentation,modulation and smoothing with Statistical Parametric Mapping 5 (SPM5) software.The gray matter volumes of the two groups underwent two-sample t-test with a Voxel-based morphometry (VBM)using SPM5 software.Results Long-DUP schizophrenic patients presented significantly reduced GM volume in the left thalamus(MNI:-6,-16,2;cluster=141 voxels)and the left temporal lobe(MNI:-46,-58,-6;cluster=69 Voxels),compared with short-DUP schizophrenic patients.Conclusion Delayed DUP may increase the loss of gray matter in schizophrenia.
