Objective To investigate the efficacy observation of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)for improving the attention in patients with infarction in basal ganglia area. Methods Sixty consecutive patients with basal ganglia infarction admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from May 2015 to May 2016 were enrolled. They were randomly divided into either a control group or a test group according to the random number table (n = 30 in each group). The patients in both groups received routine rehabilitation training,and those in the test group received tDCS therapy synchronously,and the control group received the sham tDCS stimulation. The evaluations and analyses were conducted with the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA),d2 test of attention,and event-related potential-P300 (ERP-P300),respectively in all patients before intervention and 4 weeks after intervention,and they were compared between the groups. Results There was no significant difference before intervention between the two groups (all P > 0. 05). Compared with before intervention,the ERP-P300 latencies were reduced,the amplitudes were increased after intervention in the patients of the test group and the control group (all P < 0. 05). The MoCA total scores (the test group:22. 7 ± 2. 7 vs. 15. 5 ±
2. 4;the control group:17. 2 ±2. 5 vs. 15. 6 ±2. 3),attention dimension scores (the test group:4. 6 ± 1. 2 vs. 2. 4 ± 1. 6;the control group:3. 6 ± 1. 5 vs. 2. 5 ± 1. 5),and the total completion of d2 attention test task, total scores,and concentration degree scores (the test group:295 ± 31 vs. 250 ± 45,279 ± 38 vs. 223 ± 52, 97 ± 22 vs. 75 ± 25;the control group:276 ± 33 vs. 247 ± 45,257 ± 39 vs. 211 ± 56,84 ± 23 vs. 71 ± 24) were all increased (all P < 0. 05),and all the indexes of the test group were better than those of the control group (all P < 0. 05). Conclusion tDCS contributes to the improvement of the attention in patients with infarction in the internal capsule-basal ganglia region.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the status of anxiety and depression in field training military officers and soldiers and analyze the impact of coping styles and personality traits.METHODS: Self-rating Anxiety Scale, Self-Rating Depression scale, Simple Coping Style Questionnaire and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire were used to evaluate 494 field training military officers and soldiers by judgment sampling method. RESULTS: The rates of anxiety and depression symptoms of the officers and soldiers in field training were 13.0% and 23.1%, respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher the negative coping style, mental quality and neurotic scores of the officers and soldiers in the field, the lower the scores of internal and external, the worse the interpersonal relationship and family relationship, the higher the risk of anxiety(P<0.05). The higher the mental quality and neurotic scores of the officers and soldiers in the field, the lower of the position, the lower the scores of positive coping style and internal and external, the worse the interpersonal relationship and family relationship, the higher the risk of depression(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Anxiety and depression are the main negative emotions in the field training officers and soldiers. Negative coping style, pathological personality tendency and interpersonal relationship are the main influencing factors of negative emotion.
