This article adopts an ecologistic perspective to analyze the regularity of psychological phenomena,examine the mechanisms of psychological problems and mental disorders,and discuss the process of psychological counseling and therapy.The author proposes that the practice of counseling and psychotherapy should be directed with an ecological view.A practitioner needs to not only focus on the problems and symptoms,but also consider the restoration and development of the personality foundation of the individuals who seek for help.A practitioner should not only pay attention to visitors'psychological defects,but also try to assist the development of their positive characters which could alleviate symptoms,and promote the construction of their outer environments that are beneficial for psychological rehabilitation.

Objective: To develop a questionnaire which measures positive perfectionism. Methods: Initial items of the questionnaire were compiled according to theoretical analysis and interviews. 407 college students were recruited to respond to the items. The explorative factor analysis was used to decide the final items and dimensions. Another 309 college students were recruited to respond to the decided questionniares and several criterion questionnaires. Results: The positive perfectionism questionnaire consisted of three dimensions: Positive Self-Expectations(PSEX), Positive Organization (POR), and Positive Self-Evaluations (PSEV). Internal consistency (Cronbach’s ?) of the three dimensions were 0.87、0.76 and 0.79. The two-week test-retest reliabilities were 0.79、0.84 and 0.81. The cumulative explanation of the variance was 50.2%. A confirmative factor analysis revealed that the three-dimension model was proper (?2/df =1.71,GFI=0.89,CFI= 0.92,IFI=0.92,RMSEA=0.048). The Positve Perfectionism Questionnaire was negatively related to anxiety and depression. Conclusion: The positive perfectionism questionnaire has satisfactory psychometric characteristics.

Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale(FMPS).Methods: One thousand two hundred and eighty Chinese undergraduate students participated in the study and responded to the FMPS and instruments measuring psychological distresses such as anxiety,depression,and obsession-compulsion.Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the factor structure of the Chinese FMPS.The association between FMPS and psychological distresses was analyzed as an investigation for criterion validity.Results: Factor analyses extracted five of the original six factors of FMPS.PC did not emerge as a dimension.The five subscales were shown to have satisfactory internal consistencies with Cronbach's alpha between 0.64 and 0.81 and test-retest reliability 0.63~0.82.Chinese FMPS was associated with anxiety,depression,and obsession-compulsion.Particularly,CM and DA are correlated with these psychological distresses with coefficients between 0.30 and 0.70.Conclusion: Chinese FMPS is satisfactorily valid and reliable.It is suitable to use in Chinese college students.

ObjectiveTo provide a brief scale of mood measurement with satisfactory reliability and validity.MethodsThe 40-item BFS was abbreviated to a short-vcrsioncd BFS by item analysis.282 adult participants were surveyed by the brief BFS and NEO-FFI while NEO-FFI was taken as a criterion instrument.Reliability and validity of brief BFS were examined.ResultsThe brief BFS had 18 items including six dimensions ( activity,cheer,calmness,indignation,stir and depression),and the cronbach's α were 0.87,0.75,0.85,0.86,0.84 and 0.86 respectively and the retest reliability( r value) were 0.67,0.57,0.61,0.62,0.75 and 0.69 respectively.All the key fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of brief BFS were above 0.90.Besides,NEO-FFI had significant correlation with brief BFS.ConclusionThe brief BFS has satisfactory reliability and validity.

Objective: To revise Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS) within a sample of Chinese college students based on clinical knowledge and Hewitt & Flett's perfectionism questionnaire.Methods:Three hundred and fifty college students responded to the inventory with additional 15 items to the FMPS. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to the data. Results: The revised Perfectionism Scale consisted of 50 items, four subscales (Concerns with Mistakes and Doubts, Personal Standards, Organization, Parents' Expectation and Control). Factor analysis indicated that, the four factors explain 42.31% of the variance with loading between 0.37~0.79. The five subscales had internal consistencies with split-half reliabilities 0.73~0.88, Cronbach's alphas 0.80~ 0.91, and test-retest reliabilities of 0.68~0.80 (P

Objective:To investigate the relationship between college students' perfectionism and their mental health,and parental rearing styles.Methods:The present study was a cross-sectional design.Three hundred and thirty seven Chinese college students(152 males and 185 females;aged 16～24) were recruited through cluster sampling.Participants were from three major universities,and responded to the revised Perfectionism Scale for Chinese College Students,Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran(EMBU),and SCL-90.Results:The group with high score in perfectionism also got higher scores in their perception of fathers' over-protection,over-intervention,and refusal/denial than the low score group [(2.4?0.5) vs.(2.0?0.4),(2.2?0.4) vs.(2.0?0.3),(1.5?0.5) vs.(1.4?0.5);P

Fifty-six patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy(GO)were treated with antithyroid drug and oral prednisone for three months,TSH receptor antibody(TRAb)level was reduced,GO activity and severity of some patients were ameliorated but still positively associated with TRAb.It suggests that TRAb not only triggers off GO but also plays a possible role in the maintenance of the autoimmune process in GO.

This paper discusses the relationship between stimulating pulse width and the threshold of electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP). Firstly, the rheobase and chronaxy from strength-duration curve of nerve fiber was computed using the shepherd's experiment results. Secondly, based on the relationship between ECAP and the action potential of nerve fiber, a mathematical expression to describe the relationship between stimulating pulse width and ECAP threshold was proposed. Thirdly, the parameters were obtained and the feasibility was proved to the expression with the results of experiment using guinea pigs. Research result showed that with ECAP compared to the action potential of nerve fiber, their threshold function relationship with stimulating pulse width was similar, and rheobase from the former was an order smaller in the magnitude than the latter, but the chronaxy was close to each other. These findings may provide meaningful guidance to clinical ECAP measurement and studying speech processing strategies of cochlear implant.

A commonly used Chinese crude drug Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus has been shown to possess good anticancer activities and related properties such as antioxidation, nitrite scavenging, nitrosamine synthesis blocking and immune enhancement, and has been widely used as an effective auxiliary drug in the treatment of some malignant tumors. This paper systematically reviews the advances in the study of anticancer-related activities of Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus's various components such as raw juice, extracts, saponins, volatile oil, polysaccharides, nitrogen compounds, etc.
