Objective To investigate the effect of synthetic intervention on community re-entry of outpatients with schizophrenia. Methods Two hundred and eighty-four patients were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 143 ) and the control group (n = 141 ). The participants in the intervention group received mental health education, medication consultation, skill training and family-based psychological intervention for 1 year. The control group was followed up through clinic visits. At baseline,half a year and the end of the year,all the subjects completed the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Results The scores of SSRS and PANSS at baseline were not significantly different between the two groups. At the end of the year,the score of SSRS (32. 85 ± 12. 18) ,the objective support subscale (9. 15± 4. 18 ) ,the subjective support subscale ( 16. 92±7. 34) and the support utility subscale (6. 77±2. 09 ) in the intervention group were significantly increased when compared with the control group ( 31.05±8. 35,7. 77±4. 36,13.46±7.87,6. 23±2. 12, all P < 0.05 ). The score of PANSS (38. 88 ±9. 58 ), the positive subseale (7.40 ±1.12 ), the negative subscale ( 11. 32±5.92 ) and the general psychopathology subscale (20. 16±5. 19 ) in the intervention group showed significant difference with the control group (46. 88 ±16. 37,8.60 ±3. 19,13.52±7. 81,24. 76±8. 08 ,all P <0. 01 ). At the end of the year,the relapse of psychotic symptoms in the intervention and the control group was 18. 18% and 34. 75% ,respectively ( χ2 = 10. 03, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The study results suggest that synthetic intervention could be effective for schizophrenic outpatients in community re-entry.

Objective To investigate mental health and personality characteristics of supercargoes. Methods Catell 16 Personality Factor Test (16PF) and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) were used in 470 supercargoes for quantitative analysis. Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regressions and t test were used for data analysis. Results The participants showed a significantly lower score, although specific items were higher than normal models. There was no difference in different age groups. 16PF were positively correlated with total score of SCL-90, except for gregariousness, intelligence, ambition, fantasy,worldly-wisdom,creativity and independency. All factors in SCL-90 were significantly related with the subfactor (i. e. adaptation and anxiety) of 16PF. Conclusion The mental health of supercargoes may not be optimistic,and the personality problems may have some effects on their mental health.

Objective To investigate unhealthy behaviors and their influence on community residents,and to evaluate the effectiveness of modified behaviors. Methods A total of 1230 community residents were randomly enrolled from 8 of 16 communities in Yantian District of Shenzhen City. The behavior information of the participants was collected through face-to-face interviews. A systematic intervention was carried out to the target residents, and the outcomes were evaluated. Results The awareness of healthy behaviors was improved and unhealthy behaviors (i. e. lack of physical activity,over-intake of salt, cigarette smoking,alcohol consumption,irregular health check-up, long-time watching TV) were significantly reduced ( P < 0. 05 ). Conclusions Systematic intervention could be an effective way to reduce unhealthy behaviors of community residents.

Objective To investigate bone mineral density-related factors to decrease the prevalence of osteoporosis. Methods This croas-sectional survey enrolled 46 219 adults less than 60 years old. Anthropometry, blood pressure, serum lipid, glucose, electrolytes, uric acid and homocysteine were detected. Bone mineral density (BMD) of distal forearm was measured by using peripheral dual energy-ray detector (MestriscanTM). Our data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results All BMD-related factors except age showed significant difference between male and female. BMD of female subjects was lower than that of male participants (0.50±0. 15 vs 0. 54 ±0. 15,t = 22. 38 ,P < 0. 05 ). The prevalence of osteoporosis in female was higher ( 29. 51% vs 26. 48%, χ2 =47.90,P <0. 05). BMD increased with age before 40-year old, and then decreased more rapidly in female after 50-year old. Conclusion BMD of male is higher. Cigarette smoking, waist-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, serum sodium, total cholesterol, and ALP were negatively correlated with BMD.

Objectives To develop a measurement for obesity assessment which could be used as a simple tool of risk screening. Methods The data of National Nutrition and Health Survey ( 2002 ) were used to analyze the relationship between body mass index ( BMI ), waist circumference (WC) and chronic diseases, based on which chronic disease index ( CRI ) was established. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to determine the cut-off of CRI and to compare the predictive effectiveness of CRI,BMI and WC on chronic diseases. The kappa test was chosen to estimate the consistency of different cut-off of CRI with BMI and WC. The odds ratios of chronic diseases in different cut-offs of CRI were calculated by multiple Logistic regression analysis. Results CRI was calculated as CRI = BMI + 3.5 WC. In ROC curve,the cut-off of CRI was 300. The predictive effectiveness of CRI was higher than that of BMI and WC. CRI at 300 showed the best consistency with 24 kg/m2 BMI and 85 cm WC (P <0. 05 ). In comparison with CRI <300,the risk of chronic diseases was significantly increased with an increase of 20 U CRI. Conclusion CRI shows good predietive effectiveness and could be used to identify those with higher risk of chronic diseases.

Objective To investigate the effect of multidisciplinary intervenient on survival of patients with malignant tumor. Methods Six hundred and thirty-nine malignant tumor patients were randomly assigned to the intervenient and the control group. A total of 584 completed the follow-up study. The intervenient group received comprehensive treatment for 2 years,while the control group was in a process of self-rehabilitation. The 2-year survival rate was compared between the groups by using Cox proportional hazard model. Results The 2-year survival rate was 94. 74% (108/114) or 80. 67% (121/150) in II stage patients of the intervenient or control group, respectively ( P < 0. 01 ) . The 2-year survival rate was 88. 03% (163/177) or 82. 8% (184/222) in early and medium stage patients of the intervenient or control group,respectively(P <0. 01). Conclusion The multidisciplinary intervenient may help to improve the 2 year survival of early or moderate stage malignant tumors.

Objective To investigate the quality of life of elderly caregivers and its factors. Methods Elderly caregivers living in Changzhi City were enrolled in this study. 36-item short-form (SF-36) health survey and Activity of Daily Living Scale ( ADL) were used as study tools. The data was analyzed by statistical description,t test or multiple regression. Results Those with score of quality of life reaching 72. 1 to 117. 0 accounted for 98. 8%. The total score and score of eight dimensions of SF-36 showed statistically significant difference between different daily living activity groups ( P < 0.05) . The state of health and self-care ability of the elderly imposed a major impact on eight dimensions of SF-36. Age, sex, level of education, marital status and wage had different impact on each dimension of SF-36. Conclusion The quality of life of elderly caregivers is at a medium level. The main factors of quality of live of elderly caregiver are their state of health and self-care ability of the elderly.

Objective To explore the effect of separate management of income and expenditure (SMIE) on standard community healthcare services. Methods Health management records of 137 community health service ( CHS) institutions in Beijing during 2006 and 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Paired t test was used to compare annual healthcare services at urban and rural areas before or after SMIE was adopted. Results The standard community healthcare services was reduced from 1 081 965. 53 to 971 793. 98 at urban areas and from 157 492. 23 to 149 305. 25 at rural areas (P >0. 05). Urban healthcare center-based standard services was decreased from 59. 94% to 52. 14% (P < 0. 05 ); while out-hospital services were increased from 13. 50% to 18. 88% (P<0. 05). In urban areas,standard services for women healthcare, chronic disease profiling, health education and information management were significantly increased (I <0. 05). However,Temporary observation and endemic disease prevention and treatment were the main job of rural healthcare. Conclusions SMIE in CHS institutions could accommodate to the need of health management, supporting policies should be further improved.

Objective To study the influence of dietary test designed by Nutritional Department of Henan Provincial People's Hospital on diabetic inpatients' dietary cognition. Methods A total of 134 diabetic inpatients were selected and tested with standard diabetic meaL Self-reporting of oil, salt, staple food, vegetables and meat intake was evaluated. Nonparametric tests were used for statistical analysis. Results There were significant differences in self-reporting of oil,salt,staple food and meat intake between pre and post test (Z= -4.642, -8.700, -2.218, -5. 528,all P<0.05) ; however,no significant change of self reporting vegetable intake was found ( Z = - 1. 385, P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion Dietary test can significantly change patients' cognition about their daily dietary intake.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between periodontitis and life style. Methods By using randomized cluster sampling method,2990 health check-up receivers were enrolled in this cross sectional survey from September 2007 to September 2008. The participants were requested to fill in a questionnaire to assess community periodontal index and synthesis grades. Multiple linear regression was used for data analysis. Results Gender (P = 0. 000) , age (P = 0. 000 ) , educational level ( P = 0. 001) , smoking (P = 0.011 ) and duration of teeth brush ( P = 0.026 ) were positively correlated with periodontitis. However, periodontitis showed no relationship with alcohol consumption, food intake, daily activity,frequency of teeth brush, periodontal bleeding. Conclusion Periodontitis is a condition with multiple risk factors. Improving life style may help to prevent general population from periodontitis.
