Objective: To explore the relationship between parental rearing behavior and personality disorder. Method: Descriptive study was carried out in one key-university in Beijing. Two thousand two hundred and five freshmen were investigated with Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-Revised (PDQ-R) and EMBU scale. Fifty-five personality disorder cases were diagnosed by International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE). Results: The scores of emotional warmth, over-protection, and favoring subject of the maternal were higher than those of the paternal. Parental scores of EMBU factors were highly correlative. The scores of rejection, overprotection, favoring subject in personality disorder cases were significantly higher than those in control group, while the score of emotional warmth was significantly lower. Conclusion: Inappropriate parental rearing behavior is a risk factor of personality disorder.
2.Relationship among Cancer-Related Fatigue,Coping Style and Quality of Life in Patients of Breast Cancer with Chemotherapy
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2009;23(11):776-779,789
Objective:To explore the relationship among the cancer-related fatigue,coping styles and quality of life in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.Methods:A total 120 female breast cancer patients were selected as the subjects.The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire that was composed of four parts:the demographic data form,the Revised Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS),Jalowiec Coping Scale (JCS),Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30),and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Breast 23 (QLQ-BR23).The statistical software SPSS was used for data analysis.Cancer-related fatigue,coping styles,quality of life and their related factors were determined by nonparametric tests.Spearman correlation coefficient was used to investigate the relationship among cancer-related fatigue,coping styles and quality of life in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.Results:There was a significant negative moderate correlation between cancer-related fatigue and the quality of life (r=-0.24,P<0.01),and negative correlation between cancer-related fatigue and the total health status (r=-0.39,P<0.01).The positive coping styles including optimistic and confronting were negatively correlated with cancer-related fatigue (r=-0.25,-0.18,Ps<0.05),and were positively related to the functional domain of quality of life(r=0.35,0.21, Ps<0.05).The positive coping styles including emotive,fatalistic,and palliative were positively correlated with cancer-related fatigue (r=0.25,0.18,and 0.28, Ps<0.05),and were negatively correlated with the functional domain of quality of life (r=-0.40,-0.32,Ps<0.05),and emotive and fatalistic were positively related to the symptomatic domain of quality of life(r=0.40,0.28,Ps<0.05).Conclusion:There exists a certain degree of correlation among cancer-related fatigue,coping styles and quality of life in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy,which may guide the clinical care.

Objective:To explore the characters of emotional intellige nc e and its relationship with general self-efficacy and coping style of delinquent teenagers Method:228 delinquent teenagers in jails completed a serial of questionnaires including emotional intelligence scale (EIS), general s elf-efficacy scale (GSES) and coping style scale Results:The me a n score of emotional intelligence of delinquents was lower than that aged matche d middle school students There was positive correlation between emotional inte l ligence and self-efficacy or coping style of delinquents But the emotional int e lligence of them had no relation to depression Conclusion:Emoti o nal intelligence of delinquent teenagers is lower than that of normal students o f the same age, it has some relation to self-efficacy and coping style of the pe rson
5.Psychosocial Risk Factors and Family Psyche Environment of Smoking Adolescents
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2002;0(07):-
Objective:To probe into the influences of psychosocial risk factors and family psyche environment on smoking behavior of adolescents.Methods:Psychosocial risk factors and family psyche environment of 806 adolescents with smoking behavior and that of 3603 controls were investigated with Family Environment Scale, Symptom Checklist 90 and Behavior Questionnaire.Results:Rebelliousness, Risk Taking, Early Maturity, Problem Helplessness of adolescents were related to smoking. The scores of cohesion, expressiveness, achievement orientation and intellectual-culture orientation in Family Environment Scale of the smoking group were lower than those of controls (P
6.The Application of CBCL,YSR and TRF for 12-18 Years of Age Students in Beijing
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2002;0(09):-
Objective:This study explores Achenbach's three famous checklists regarding to children's behavior problems:CBCL,YSR,TRF.The checklists are translated into Chinese and tested for their relativity and applicability.Methods:1410 adolescents selected from 6 middle schools in Beijing are investigated with CBCL,YSR and TRF.Results:The Cronbach ? among the items of the three checklists and the total score are 0.96,0.95,and 0.99 respectively,the split-half reliability are 0.93,0.89,and 0.97 respectively,which demonstrates an obvious homogeneity within the three checklists.Scores in YSR are generally higher than those of the other two checklists, scores in CBCL follow immediately,and scores in TRF are the lowest(except for a minority of individual factors). The scores in CBCL and YSR are significant correlated(r=0.35~0.60,P

Objective: To study the gender differences in ERPs recorded during a recognition task for Chinese words. Methods: 15 male and 15 female healthy volunteers received a Chinese words recognition task and the EEG signals were recorded from 20 scalp sites simultaneously. The stimuli were meaningful words consisting of two Chinese characters. Results: Both men and females showed a positive-going parietal old/new effect, but females demonstrated larger P500 amplitudes and shorter P500 latency than males. Furthermore, the parietal old/new effect of males was significantly left-lateralized, while that of females showed more bilateral pattern. Only males elicited obvious frontally distributed old/new effect between 250 and 350 ms, which was negative-going and right-lateralized. Conclusion: Gender differences do exist in the recognition processing of Chinese words. Some of the gender differences could be interpreted as reflecting different strengths and speed of brain activation and others could be interpreted as reflecting the involvement of different neural structures.

Objective: To investigate whether antipsychotic agent-induced type 2 diabetes was associated with leptin gene -2548G/A functional polymorphism in schizophrenia patients who had treated by antipsychotics chronically. Methods: Fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour post meal plasma glucose, fasting plasma leptin and fasting plasma insulin were measured in 110 patients with chronic schizophrenia whose natural courses of the disorder were more than 5 years. According to the level of plasma glucose, these patients were divided into three groups, diabetes mellitus group, abnormal regulating glucose group and normal glucose group. The polymorphisms in the leptin promoter region (-2548 G/A) were determined with PCR-RFLP in the patients. Results: The patients in DM group were more likely to be homozygous for the -2548AA genotype. As compared with the patients with -2548AG/GG combined genotype, the patients with -2548AA genotype had significant increase in the level of plasma leptin(P=0.019). Conclusion: The -2548G/A polymorphism in promoter region of leptin gene may be associated with type 2 diabetes in schizophrenic patients treated by antipsychotics chronically. -2548A allele of leptin gene may be a genetic risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes during antipsychotic treatment.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the cognition and the self-rated health in military personnel in high altitude area. Methods: 490 military personnel in high altitude area were assessed with Self-rated Health Measurement Scale and the questionnaire of cognitive appraisal to environment and service. Results: The scores of the self-rated health in military personnel in high altitude area were higher than average(6.5~7.9, full score is 10); The main factors perceived by soldiers as having negative influence on health were poor communication with outside (53.6%), lack of opportunity of contact with opposite sex(51.8%), lack of amusement(48.4%)and service of hygiene(46.2%). Correlation analysis showed the cognitive appraisal factors were correlated with the self-rated health significantly(P
