1.Exploration on Characteristics of Zheng Typing of Angina Pectoris in CHD in TCM, analysis of 395 Cases.
Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 1993;0(10):-
Although reports on the diagnosis of CHD angina pec-toris are plenty, yet studies on nature and typing of Zheng on its two main types, spontaneous and overworked, of anginal attacks are scarce. During the period Jan. 1985 -July 1994. we treated 92 cases of spontaneous angina pectoris and 303 cases of overworked angina on the basis of TCM syndrome typing, in the hope of giving assistance to the correcttherapy of this disease.

Objective To research the current stress status and job stressors of the nurses,and explore the measures of relieving stress.Methods Investigation was carried out in 199 nurses of Qilu hospital by using interviewing and surveying method basing on the literature research.Results 74.4% nurses work under high even very high stress.Benefit,promotion,workload and time allocation were the first three stressors.Ages,professional titles,education degree,departments were influential factors of stress.49.7% of the nurses were under high job burnout.Conclusions The nurses are under high work stress and job burnout.There should be measures from environmental level,organizational level,individual level to relieve and manage the stress.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of gray matter volume in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) patients compared with healthy controls, and to explore the correlation between brain regions with altered gray matter volume and the patients'cognitive function and clinical symptoms. Method Thirty-six patients with first-episode OCD and 35 healthy controls who were matched by age, gender and education level were selected and examined by MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) and Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS). The head MRI and the Voxel-based morphometry was used to test the volume of gray matter. The correlation analysis was conducted to analyze the correlation between brain areas with altered gray matter volume and patients'cognitive function and Y-BOCS results. Results Compared with the control group, the OCD group had increased gray matter volume in frontal parietal lobe (postcentral gyrus-L, precentral gyrus-L) (t=4.299, P<0.0005, voxels>100) and temporal-limbic system (fusiform gyrus-L, superior temporal gyrus-L, medial temporal lobe-L, parahippocampal gyrus-L) (t=4.841, P<0.0005, voxels> 100). Meanwhile, the volume of gray matter decreased in bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus (t=-4.181, P<0.0005, voxels>100). In the case group, there were a positive correlation between the volume of gray matter in the temporal lobo-limbic system and social cognition score (r=0.347,P=0.038) and a positive correlation between the volume of gray matter in the anterior cingulate gyrus and obsessions score (r=0.416,P=0.012). Conclusion Patients with OCD have abnormal gray matter volume in a wide range of brain regions, including the frontal parietal lobe, the temporal-limbic system, and bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus, among which the volume of gray matter in the temporal-limbic system is correlated with social cognition, and gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate gyrus is correlated with obsessions.
