Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2013;(6):550-552
Objective To study the impact of gender,gender role and gender traits on depression in adolescents.Methods A sample of 1330 middle school students from seven provinces in China completed Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Gender Traits Inventory.Results 27.1 percents of participants displayed the symptoms of depression.The mean score of males of BDI was 10.04 ± 8.38 while that of females was 10.33 ± 8.37,indicating that there was no sex differences in depression of adolescents(P=0.535).The participants could be classified into 4 sex role types:masculine,feminine,androgynous and undifferentiated,and the BDI mean score of each type was 9.51 ± 7.66,12.30 ± 8.81,9.14 ± 8.10,10.72 ± 8.66,and significant differences were found among adolescents with different gender roles (P =0.000).BDI scores of the feminine adolescents were the highest among the four gender roles,which were significantly higher than scores of the masculine and androgynous adolescents (P =0.000).Regression analysis indicated that adolescents with more positive masculine traits tended to be less depressive (t =-4.966,P < 0.01) while adolescents with more negative masculine (t =2.574,P < 0.01) or feminine (t =10.566,P < 0.01)traits tended to be more depressive.Conclusion Gender role rather than gender has greater impacts on adolescent depression,and specifically,positive masculine traits represent protective factors for depression.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2004;10(7):439-440
Objective To observe the effect of tai chi chuan on anneal dyspnea and endurance stamina of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods 80 COPD patients were randomly divided into control group (n=40) and training group (n=40). The common therapy of two groups was the same; but the training group was added with Chen style tai chi chuan training for 30 minutes one day. At the same time, all patients were evaluated about the dyspnesa exponent before and after 3 months training.Results There were no significant differences in FEV1(%), FEV1/FVC(%),heart rate and breath frequency/minute before and after treatment (P>0.05) between two groups, but in dyspnea exponent, there was a significant difference between two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Tai chi chuan training can reduce the symptom of COPD patients.

Objective To study the roles of regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted(RANTES) and monocyte cbemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in human immunodeficien- cy virus-1(HIV 1) infected patients.Methods RANTES and MCP-1 in HIV-1 infected patients, including treated and untreated groups,and healthy control group were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The recombinant plasmids,hMCP-pcDNA3.1,bRANTES- peDNA3.1 and hMCP/bRANTES-pcDNA3.1,were constructed and transfected into CHO cells to overexpress the corresponding recombinant proteins,whose chemoattract function was then studied. Results The level of RANTES was (164.3?21.3) pg/mL in healthy control group,(1 224.1?62.0) pg/mL in untreated group and (475.3?36.2) pg/mL in treated group.The level of MCP-1 was (90.6?28.5) pg/mL in healthy control group,(335.0?30.3) pg/mL in untreated group and (807.2?62.6) pg/mL in treated group.In HIV-1 infected patients,the levels of RANTES and MCP-1 were significantly increased.After highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART),the level of RANTES declined,but MCP-1 increased further.Western blot assay revealed that the three recombinant proteins could be recognized by monoclonal antibodies respectively.All of them could chemoattract human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs).And the chemoattractant potency of MCP/RANTES fusion protein was stronger.When the recombinant proteins were used with con- centrations as 50,200,400 and 800 pg/mL,respectively,the number of PBMCs chemoattracted by MCP/RANTES fusion protein was 52?10~4/mL,102?10~4/mL,132?10~4/mL and 184?10~4/mL; the number of PBMCs chemoattracted by RANTES was 27?10~4/mL,51?10~4/mL,65?10~4/mL and 96?10~4/mL;the number of PBMCs chemoattracted by MCP-1 was 18?10~4/mL,44?10~4/mL, 54?10~4/mL and 74?10~4/mL.Conclusion RANTES and MCP-1 may both be involved in the HIV infection process and host immunological reaction against HIV.

Objective To explore the relationship between viral encephalitis(VE)and Borna disease virus(BDV)infection,and discuss the clinical features of viral encephalitis patients infected by BDV.Methods The p24 gene fragment of BDV in cerebrospinal fluid mononuclear cells(CSFMC)from 32 patients with viral encephaliris and 34 healthy individuals were examined by fluorescence quantitative nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(FQ-nRT-PCR),in which, β-actin was used as internal reference. The clinical manifestations of patients with positive BDV p24 were watched. And the gene sequence,homology and amino acid sequence of positive products were analyzed. Results The positive rate(4/32,12.5%)of BDV p24 in CSFMC of patients with viral encephalitis was significantly higher than that of healthy individuals(0/34,0%),P<0.05,and the numbers of copies of BDV p24 in CSFMC of VE patients were more than 102/μl. Compared with the sequences of the standard strain Ⅴ and the virus strain H1766 of BDV from horse supplied by GenBank,the homology of the gene sequence of positive product of CSFMC was 95.35% and 98.84% with gene mutation in 4 sites(nt1649 T→C, nt1656 G→A,nt1670 C→T, nt1676 C→T). The genetic relationship between the positive product and the virus strain BDV from horse was the nearest. The clinical features of VE patients with positive BDV p24 were mainly by mental and behavior disorders. Conclusion The occurrence of VE patients in the city of Zunyi in Guizhou province may be associated with BDV infection. The clinical features of VE patients with positive BDV p24 were mainly mental and behavior disorders.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and management of pancreatic injury. Methods The clinical data of 23 patients suffering from pancreatic injury treated by surgery in recent 15 years were analyzed retrospectively. According to the pancreas organ injury scale of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma, there were 8 cases in grade I, 8 in grade II, 5 in grade III, 1 in grade IV and 1 in grade V. Results Only 2 patients were diagnosed preoperatively out of the 19 patients.About 63.2%(12/19)of the cases had elevated levels of serum amylase. All the patients were cured.In this series,8 cases occurred external pancreatic fistula, 4 pseudocysts, 2 intra-abdominal infections and 1 hyperglycemia postoperatively. Internal pancreatic fistulas were found in all the non operation patients. Conclusions The serum amylase determinations is neither sensitive nor specific for diagnosis of pancreatic injury. Early diagnosis and correct operative pracedure are important to decrease the postoperative complications and improve the outcome.

Objective:In order to understand the professionals' ethical ideas and provide references for ethics education, and try to set up Chinese ethical code, the ethical beliefs of Chinese counselors and psychotherapists were investigated. Methods:145 Chinese counselors and therapists were asked to fill up an ethical questionnaire which was translated from the survey developed by Gibson and Pope in 1993 in the United States. The results of the survey were analyzed and compared with that of American professionals. Results: Chinese participants showed strong ethical beliefs in general, but they need more training in the aspect of informed consent. There were apparent culture differences on some aspects between two samples. Some significant gender and age differences could also be found. The authors believe that ethical training should be considered as an important way to enhance the professionals' awareness on ethical codes.
