Journal of Forensic Medicine 2013;29(6):414-418
OBJECTIVE:
To explore the applicability of Capacity of Sexual Self-defense Assessment Scale (CSSAS) in psychiatric patients without mental retardation.
METHODS:
Eighty-seven cases required for assessment of the capacity of sexual self-defense were collected and evaluated by trained professionals according to CSSAS, and the results were compared to the experts' opinions.
RESULTS:
The scores of three grades of capacity of sexual self-defense (none, limited and whole) were 5.97 +/- 5.83, 32.22 +/- 10.15 and 61.60 +/- 13.02, respectively, which were statistically significant among them (P < 0.01). The correlation coefficients between items and total score were 0.59 to 0.91, the Cronbach's alpha value was 0.96, the spilt half Cronbach's alpha value were 0.94 and 0.91, respectively, and the relation coefficient between them was 0.94. According to the original cut off scores, the Kappa value between scale results and experts' opinions was 0.32 (P < 0.01). By redefining the cut off scores, the Kappa value was improved to 0.84 (P < 0.01). Two factors were extracted by means of the factor analysis. The explanation rates of variance were 46.15% and 28.93%, respectively. The accuracy of retrospective cumulative square was 94.30%.
CONCLUSION
The CSSAS could be applied in the psychiatric expertise of the capacity of sexual self-defense in psychiatric patients without mental retardation; however, the cut off scores and the factor weight should be redefined.

Totally 40 male SD rats were randomly divided into sedentary group (G1, n =8), exercise group (G2, n =16) and exercise with drug group (G3, n =16). Animal models were established by treadmill training. At the last time for training, rats in the G2 and G3 were separately divided into control group (n =8) and exhausting exercise group (n =8). Rats in the G3 were orally injected with quercetin 50 mg/kg by intragastric administration everyday at 3 hours before training, and others in the G1 and G2 were fed with the same amount of saline by gavage. Hemoglobin (Hb) content, activities of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined in exhausted rats. The results showed that quercetin could remarkably restrain the decrease of Hb content and the increase of activities of ALT, AST and LDH after exhausted exercise.

Objective To explore the medical coping strategies and impact factors of patients with coronary heart disease in Wuhan.Methods Both medical coping strategies and impact factors of 90 patients with coronary heart disease in Wuhan were analyzed by using Spearman coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis,and compared with the norm of 701 cases.Results Compared with the norm,patients with coronary heart disease in Wuhan preferred less facing coping strategies and more avoidance coping strategies:(17.89±2.67) points vs.(19.48±3.81) points,(16.95±2.54) points vs.(14.44±2.97) points,and there were significant differences (t=2.146,P=0.035;t=1.994,P=0.048).The yielding coping strategies was indicated insignificant differences (t=1.758,P=0.173).The facing coping strategies were correlated with age (r=-0.212,P=0.036),education levels (r=0.190,P=0.041),family monthly income (r=-0.106,P=0.049) and disease course (r=0.327,P=0.017).The avoidance coping strategies were correlated with marital status (r=-0.304,P=0.013).The yielding coping strategies were correlated with length of disease(r=0.294,P=0.023)and therapy methods (r=0.308,P=0.017).Conclusions Based on patients' characteristics and impact factors,nursing staff should guide and encourage patients to use positive medical coping styles.

Objective To observe the indications for early surgical trea tment of thoracolumbar burst fracture (TLBF). Methods 139 cases who had been def initely diagnosed as TLBF were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into 2 groups: operation and non-operation. 47 patients had non-surgical treatment, such as bed-rest plaster brace. 92 patients had surgical treatment with plate and root screw. Spinal cord functions were evaluated according to the ASIA metho d. Results All patients were followed up for 6 months to 10 years (averaged 6 y ears and 2 months). Their average kyphosis angle measured with Cobb method was 2 3.5? before the operation and 8.5? after the operation. The average degree o f middle column posterior convexity was 25%~85% before the operation (averag ed 33%) and 0~53% after the operation (averaged 12%). The average height of anterior column was 45% before the operation and 85% after the operation. T he average degree of spinal stenosis was 30%~85% before the operation (avera ged 55%) and 0-50% after the operation (averaged 20%). There were more case s whose neural function recovered to grade E in the operation group than in the non-operation group (P

Objective To evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) combined with drug therapy on patients with delayed encephalopathy caused by carbon monoxide poisoning ( COP). Methods Twenty to forty sessions of HBO therapy were used to treat 34 COP patients. Assessment relied on 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (~(99m)Tc-ECD) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of cerebral perfusion before and after treatment. Results After HBO therapy, cerebral perfusion in the COP patients improved significantly. There was a significant difference of the SPECT images before and after treatment. Conclusions SPECT imaging of cerebral perfusion can play an important role in the diagnosis of delayed encephalopathy caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, and it can be used for the therapeutic surveillance of HBO treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the dynamic trends of activities of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/9 and protein expressions of their inhibitors-tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1/2 during the progression of pulmonary fibrosis in rats so as to get insight of the roles played by MMP-2/9 in lung injury and fibrogenesis. METHODS: Forty-eight SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n=18) and bleomycin (BLM)-treated group (n=30). The pulmonary fibrosis was induced by intratracheal injection of BLM once. At the consecutive time of 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after intoxication, the lung-to-body weight ratio was calculated and the inflammation and collagen deposition in lung tissue were checked by HE and Masson stainings respectively. Meanwhile, the content of hypdroxyproline (Hyp) in lung tissue was assayed with Jamall's method, the protein expressions of MMP-2/9, TIMP-1/2 were examined by Western blotting, and the activities of MMP-2/9 were detected by gelatin zymography. RESULTS: The histopathological changes in lung tissue in the BLM-treated group from 1 day to 2 weeks after intoxication presented local lesions, broadened alveolar wall and septum, infiltration with lots of inflammatory cells and few of fibroblasts inside alveolar space and septum. At this early stage in the BLM-treated group, the lung-to-body weight ratio was increased significantly, the protein expressions and activities of MMP-2/9 were obviously increased especially for activity of active MMP-2, and the protein expressions of TIMP-1/2 were also increased gradually, as compared with those in the normal control group. From 3 to 4 weeks after intoxication in the BLM-treated group, the alveolar structure was damaged, parts of the alveolar space collapsed and replaced by collagens and fibroblasts, and the alveolar wall and septum obviously widened with remarkable fibrotic characteristics, as compared with those in the normal control group. Meanwhile, the lung-to-body weight ratio and the activities of MMP-2/9 were decreased in the BLM-treated group as compared with those in the same group at 2 weeks after intoxication, but the content of Hyp and the protein expressions of TIMP-1/2 were both increased dramatically, especially at 4 weeks after intoxication. CONCLUSIONS: During the lung fibrogenesis induced by BLM in rats, the alveolar inflammation is the most important alteration with enhanced MMP-2/9 activities in the early stage. While in the late stage, the main change is displayed as pulmonary fibrosis, characterized by increased TIMP-1/2 and declined MMP-2/9 activities.
