BACKGROUND: The middle-school stage is the key period of personality figuring and taking shape.The mentation in this period is filled with a lot of special psychological contradictions and conflicts. Long-term psychological worry will affect the formation of perfect personality.OBJECTIVE: To understand the psychological health status in the middle-school students of Zhuang nationality and the main factors of influence.DESIGN: Randomized cluster sampling and questionnaire investigation based on middle-school students.SETTING: Department of Preventive Medicine, Youjiang Medical College of Nationalities.PARTICIPANTS: 2 000 middle-school students of 34 classes from 3 middle schools in Baise City and Longlin County were selected to attend the investigation with randomized cluster sampling method in November 2003.METHODS: The psychological health statuses of middle-school students were evaluated with symptom checklist (SCL).The list contained 90 items,including 9 factors of psychological symptom such as somatization,compulsion,sensitivity to human relations,anxiety,depression,hostility,dread,paranoia and psychosis.The grading system from 1 to 5 grades was used and the standard of the adult norm of the whole country was refered to:Factor score<1.8 was normal;Factor score from 1.8 to 2.0 was mild abnormality;Factor score from 2.1 to 3.0 was moderate abnormality;Factor score>3.0 was severe abnormality. Instructive words were unified.The investigative method and behavior were normalized.The questionnaires were filled in without recording the names and taken back from the spot and then compared with the norm of the whole country.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The evaluated result of psychological health in middle-school students.RESULTS: 2 000 questionnaires were provided and 1 855 were valid after return with the effective rate 92.75%. ①The average scores of each factor of SCL were all higher in the middle-school students of Zhuang nationality than in the norm of the whole country. The significance of difference existed(P=0.000).②The scores of somatization,depression,anxiety,dread and psychosis were all higher in the schoolgirls than in the schoolboys.The significance of difference existed (P=0.000).③Except hostility factor,the scores of other factors were higher in the senior middle-school students than in the junior middle-school students.The difference was statistically significant(P=0.000).④The arranged sequences(from bigness to smallness) of each factor that affected psychological health of middle-school students of Zhuang nationality in Baise were depression,somatization,compulsion,anxiety,sensitivity to human relations,psychosis,paranoia,hostility and dread.The sensitivity to human relations ranked 4th and the anxiety ranked 6th in the schoolboys,but the orders of the 2 factors were just the opposite in the schoolgirls and the orders of other factors were the same in both the schoolboys and the schoolgirls.The first 3 factors all were:depression,somatization, compulsion.CONCLUNSION: The psychological health status was lower in the middle-school students of Zhuang nationality than in the norm of the whole country and the first 3 factors that affected their psychological health were:depression,somatization and compulsion. The levels of psychological health on somatization,depression,anxiety,dread and psychosis were lower in the schoolgirls than in the schoolboys. The psychological problems were more serious in the senior middle-school students than in the junior middleschool students. The levels of psychological health in middle-school students of Zhuang nationality were relatively lower and the psychological education and intervention study should be provided aiming at psychological characteristics of different population.

Objective To investigate the effect of butylphthalide on the memory,movement and ERP (event-related potentials) in patients with cerebral infarction cognitive impairment.Methods A total of 134 patients with cerebral infarction cognitive impairment were randomly divided into treatment group (67 patients) and control group (67 patients).All patients were given conventional cerebral infarction treatment as well as cognitive improvement intervention.Oral administration of butylphthalide was added onto the patients in the treatment group.Curative effects were observed after 30 days′ continued treatment.The cognitive function scores,memory scores,movement scores,ERP test and adverse reaction were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results After 30 days′ treatment,two groups of the montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) scores were 27.2±4.9 and 25.1±4.1 respectively;the total scores of memory were 5.5±0.5 and 4.9±0.5 respectively;the scores of motor assessment scale (Fugl-meyer) were 85.6±6.2 and 74.2±6.1 respectively and P3 amplitudes were (9.5±0.9)μV and (8.1±0.9)μV respectively.All the indexes mentioned above in treatment group were significantly increased compared with those of before treatment(P<0.05).The results of N1,N2,P2 and P3 in the latency detection were significantly decreased compared with those of before treatment(P<0.05).And the results of P2 and P3 in the latency detection of the treatment group were shorter than those of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,no adverse reaction was observed in both groups.Conclusion Based on conventional cerebral infraction treatment,oral administration of butyraldehyde effectively improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of excision of peripheral sympathetic nerve network in common carotid artery on children with cerebral palsy (CP)and the effect on their cognitive function. Methods A ret-rospective study method was admitted to preschool children with CP in 69 cases in Center of Brain Disease,the Third Hospital Affiliated to Xinxiang Medical University from July 2008 to August 2014, the common carotid artery sympathetic with the surrounding network stripping off resection treatment of 43 cases ( surgery group) ,without the use of surgery in the treatment of children with 26 cases ( no operation group) . The muscle tension improved, movement to improve the ability of 2 groups before and after treatment 6 months were detected and compared. Developmental quotient ( DQ) ,intelligence quotient ( IQ) ,bilateral middle cerebral artery ( MCA) hemodynamic index difference were deter-mined between 2 groups before and after treatment 6 months. Results After treatment 6 months,the muscle tension score and walking ability score of the surgery group were significantly better than those of no operation group [(2. 2± 1. 1) scores vs (4. 5±0. 6)scores,(3. 5±0. 7) scores vs (2. 7±0. 8) scores,all P<0. 05],and significantly improved compared with before treatment[(4. 8±0. 6)scores,(2. 2±0. 9)scores,all P<0. 05]. After treatment 6 months,the IQ score,fine motor, social adaptation, personal social, language score and MCA mean velocity ( MV ) , peak velocity ( PV) ,resistance index ( RI) ,pulsatility index ( PI) determination value of the surgery group were significantly higher than those of no operation group and before treatment (all P<0. 05). Conclusions Excision of peripheral sympathetic nerve network on common carotid artery has a good clinical effect in the treatment of CP , and can significantly improve the cognitive function of children with CP .
