Chinese Mental Health Journal 2002;0(09):-
Objective:to study the relationship between YSR and CBCL in adolescents.Method:466 adolescents were collected from 3 middle or high schools by striated random sampling. YSR (youth self report) and CBCL (child behavior checklist) were applied to the adolescents,and their parents .Result:there were 103 questions same in both YSR and CBCL, the Kappa=0.001-0.218 (P=0.975~0.000). In male, the result of YSR was correlated with only one syndrome in CBCL, in female, it correlated with 7 syndromes, introversion/extroversion, and the total score of CBCL. In middle school students, the result of YSR correlated with all subscores of CBCL. In adolescents of core family, in good relationship with parents, with father had higher educational level (high school), the result of YSR correlated with most of the subscores of CBCL.Conclusion:in the population of male, high school students, of non-core family, or in poor relationship with parents, results of YSR and CBCL are not consistent.

Objective:To study the associated factors with suicide ideas in middle school students.Method:Multiple random sample method was used in the study. 1421 middle school students in Chengdu urban area were sampled and 1393 gave effective feedback. Self-made questionnaire (including age, sex, family circumstance, experience in childhood, substance abuse, question about suicide ideas, etc.), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List (ASLEC) were applied to the students.Results:328 (23.5%) of the 1393 have suicide ideas. The risk factors of suicide ideas included: 1) family factors: parents' divorce, father/mother's passing away, remarried family, experienced abuse in childhood, violence or suicide behavior of family member. 2) school factors: bullying or being bullied. 3) substance abuse: smoking, drinking and addictive drugs abuse. 4) high score of BDI. 5) high score in inter-person relation factor and being punished factor of ASLEC. 6) sex factor: female. Protecting Factors of suicide ideas included better achievement in school, singleton in family and harmony of family member.Conclusion:Suicide ideas were not rare in middle school students. Clinicians and teachers should discover and try to prevent possible suicide as early as possible.

Objective: To develop the Chinese version of the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-Revised and examine its replicability, reliability and validity. Methods: This study translated the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-Revised ( ASI-R) and examined the factor analytic structure of anxiety sensitivity in a large sample of middle school students aged 12-18 years (n = 1556) . Factor analysis of the ASI-R items resulted in a hierarchical construct with three lower-order factors loading on a single higher-order factor. Results: after revision, the number of items of the inventory reduced from 36 to 15. Anxiety sensitivity seems to be a hierarchically organized construct with one higher-order factor (anxiety sensitivity ) and three lower-order factors: Physical concern, Cognitive concern (lose of control) , Social concern, which three factors contributed to 52. 29% of total variance. Factor loadings of items were 0. 63 ~ 0. 98 , the internal correlation between items were 0. 37 ~ 0. 53 , the correlation between factors to the total score were 0. 72 ~ 0. 84, internal correlation among factors were 0. 68 ~ 0. 78. internal consistency of each factor 0. 73 ~ 0. 78. the split-half reliability was 0. 71 ~0. 76, that of test-retest was 0. 70 ~0. 78. Conclusion: The questionnaire has satisfying reliability and validity.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and treatment-related toxicity of stereotactic body radiation therapy(SBRT)in patients with medically inoperable stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods SBRT was applied to 30 patients, including clinically staged T1 ,T2(≤5cm)or T3(chest wall primary tumors only), N0, M0 ,biopsy-confirmed NSCLC. All patients were precluded from lobotomy because of physical condition or comorbidity. No patients developed tumors of any T-stage in the proximal zone. SBRT was performed with the total dose of 50 Gy to 70 Gy in 10 - 11 fractions during 12 - 15 days. prescription line was set onthe edge of the PTV. Results The follow-up rate was 100%. The number of patients who completed the 1-, and 2-year follow-up were 15, and 10, respectively. All 30 patients completed therapy as planned. The complete response(CR), partial response(PR)and stable disease(SD)rates were 37%, 53% and 3%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 16 months(range,4-36 months), Kaplan-Meier local control at 2 years was 94%. The 2-year overall survival was 84% and the 2-year cancer specific survival was 90%. Seven patients(23%)developed Grade 2 pneumonitis, no grade > 2 acute or late lung toxicity was observed. No one developed chest wall pain. Conclusions It is feasible to deliver 50 Gy to 70 Gy of SBRT in 10 - 11 fractions for medically inoperable patients with stage Ⅰ / Ⅱ NSCLC. It was associated with low incidence of toxicities and provided sustained local tumor control.The preliminary investigation indicated the cancer specific survival probability of SBRT was high. It is necessary to perform similar investigation in a larger number of patients with long-term follow-up.
