Objective To investigate prevalence of long-term mental disorders following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 4 ～ 13 years. Methods Of the 4287 patients with traumatic brain injury by systematic sampling.675 subjects were screened by the manual of the psychiatric consequences following traumatic brain injury. The final diagnoses of mental disorders were determined by two advanced psychiatrists based on CCMD-3 on the criteria of organic mental disorders. Results ① Of the 675 subjects with traumatic brain injury,206 had satisfied diagnosed criteria of one or more organic mental disorder syndromes by CCMD-3, and with dementia 17.48% , amnestic syndrome 1. 04% , personality or behaviour change 13. 84% , psychotic syndrome 1. 19% , depressive syndrome 7.41% ,manic syndrome 0.30% ,hysteric syndrome 0.98% , neurotic syndrome 10. 22%. ②The incidence of the mental disorders in the subjects with severe TBI was significantly higher than that of moderate and mild TBI,separately 66.01% (134/203) ,18.04% (46/255) and 11.98% (26/217 ),λ2 =109.03 and 129.82 separately(P< 0.01). ③The incidence of the personality or behaviour change in male was significantly higher than that of female, separately 15.31% and 6.98% (λ2 =5.65, P<0.05). The incidence of the neurotic syndrome in female was significantly higher than that of male, separately 15. 12% and 8. 55% (λ2 = 6. 02, P < 0.05). Conclusion The high incidence of the mental disorders in the patients with TBI should not neglect. There are more high occurrence rate with more severe degree of brain injuries.

Objective To examine the reliability and validity of compensative neurosis assessing scale (CNAS) and in order to develop the quantitative assessing method for distinguishing the compensation neurosis from malingering and typical neurosis. Methods The reliability and validity of the scale was tested based on the subjects including the cases involved forensic problems, the patients with typical neurosis in general psychiatric 0.944. The test-retest reliability was more than 0.820. The scorer reliability was more than 0. 812. The total accu-racy rate of CNAS for evaluating three groups of subjects based on the experts diagnosis, and with 91.2% of speci-ficity and 79.3% of sensitivity for evaluating compensation neurosis. Condusion The CNAS has acceptable psy-chometrics properties on reliability and validity. It will provide method to distinguish the compensation neurosis from malingering and typical neuroses.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate antioxidant effects of different extract parts from Aquilaria sinensis leaves. METH-ODS:A. sinensis leaves were extracted by reflux extraction with petroleum ether,ethyl acetate,absolutely ethanol,water to obtain corresponding parts (AGP,AGE,AGA and AGW parts). The ability of different extracts eliminating ABTS+ free radical,DPPH free radical and O2-free radical and reducing Cu2+ were investigated. IC50 was also calculated. Vitamin C(VC)was used as positive control in above tests. RESULTS:Those parts eliminated above free radicals and reduced Cu2+ in concentration-dependant manner, among which maximal elimination rate of AGA and AGW parts to ABTS+ free radical were 100% and 81.07%(IC50=14.89,23.12 mg/L)and higher than that of VC(88%);those of other parts were less than 50%. The maximal elimination rate of AGA parts to DPPH free radical was 67.74%(IC50=47.96 mg/L),but still lower than that of VC(91.44%);the elimination rates of other parts were all weak and lower than 40%. The maximal elimination rates of AGA and AGW parts to O2-free radical were 67.79% and 61.79%(IC50=393.01,421.04 mg/L),but still lower than that of VC(88%);the elimination rates of other parts were all lower than 33%. The maximal reduction percentage of AGP,AGE,AGA and AGW parts to Cu2+ were all higher than 50%(IC50=55.99, 40.27,25.44,31.06 mg/L,respectively),but still lower than that of VC (100%). CONCLUSIONS:Different extract parts from A. sinensis leaves have antioxidant activity in vitro,and that of AGA is the strongest.

Objective To examine the reliability and validity of the Rating Scale of the Reliability in Mental Disorder Medical History (RSRMDMH) in order to develop a reliable measure to determine the reliability in mental disorder medical history.Methods RSRMDMH was conducted by concept,clinical feature in mental disorder medical history and assessment scales for malingering and compensationneurosis.Final 14 items was decided after initial usage and modification.It was administered to 600 subjects including the cases involved forensic problems,patients in general psychiatric clinic.Results ①The Cronbach' s α coefficients of RSRMDMH was 0.901.The split-half reliability was 0.803-0.924.The test-retest reliability and scorer reliability were more than 0.588 (P＜0.01).②The cut score of assessing different degree of the reliability in mental disorder medical history separately was ≤ 11,12-22,≥23.③Based on the experts diagnosis,the accuracy rate of RSRMDMH for evaluating different degree of the reliability in mental disorder medical history were more than 86.1％,and total accuracy rate was 94.8％.④Correlation analysis showed significantly correlation between RSRMDMH and assessment scales for malingering(self-report scale of brief psychopathological symptoms,SBPS).Conclusion The RSRMDMH has acceptable psychometrics properties on reliability and validity.It is a clinically reliable measure to determine the reliability in mental disorder medical history.

Objective To test the reliability and validity of the rating scale of social function deficit due to mental disorders (SSFD-MD). Methods 1003 cases with mental disability evaluation were tested by SSFDMD. At sametime, 100 cases of 1003 cases were test-retested and back to back tested by two examiners. 300 cases of 1003 cases also were tested by social disability screening schedule( SDSS),scale of social function for psychosis inpatients(SSPI),global assessment function(GAF) ,the brief psychiatric rating scale(BPRS) ,WH0 disability assessment scale Ⅱ (WHO-DASⅡ ), adult rating scale of mentally disabled ( ARSMD) and rating scale for extrapyramidal side effects (RSESE). Results ①The Cronbach's α coefficients of the total score and all dimensions of SSFD-MD were more than 0.90. The test-retest reliability ranged from 0.67～0. 83 ,and the scorer reliability were 0. 87～0.97. ②The correlations between item scores ranged from 0.46 ～0.74(P＜0.01). The correlations between the factor scores and the total scores ranged from 0.73～0.87(P＜0.01). To extract five full-scale principal components after orthogonal rotation to maximize variance,the cumulative total variance explained was 82.25%.There were highly correlations between SSFD-MD and SDSS.SSPI and GAF,respectively ( r = 0. 71,0.72 and 0. 78). There were moderate correlations between SSFD-MD and BPRS WHO-DAS II ARSMD,respectively(0.62,0. 50 and 0.46). There was a low correlations between SSFD-MD and RSESE ( r = 0.22) ,but all correlations were significant(P＜0.01). Conclusion SSFD-MD has acceptable psychometrics properties on reliability and validity.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of low-intensity ultrasound in promoting uterine involution following cesarean section.

METHODSA total of 122 women undergoing cesarean section were randomly selected and divided into low-intensity ultrasound treatment group (67 cases) and control group (55 cases). The women in the treatment group received daily low-intensity ultrasound treatment for 30 min 24 h after the delivery for 3 consecutive days, and the control group had no particular treatments. The descent of the uterine fundus and cessation of lochia was observed in the two groups.

RESULTSThe treatment group showed obviously greater descent of the uterine fundus with a higher rate of cessation of vaginal bleeding than the control group at 30 days postpartum. The ratio of incomplete uterine involution was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group.

CONCLUSIONLow-intensity ultrasound is effective in promoting uterine contraction and uterine involution following cesarean section.
