Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2015;24(4):439-441
Objective:To study the therapeutic value of Xueshuantong injection combined atorvastatin in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD)complicated diabetes mellitus (DM).Methods:A total of 100 CHD+DM patients, who were treated in our hospital from Jan 2012 to Jan 2014,were selected.According to random number method, they were randomly and equally divided into routine treatment group (including atorvastatin treatment)and Xue-shuantong combined atorvastatin group (combined treatment group).Clinical therapeutic effect,change of blood lipid level and safety were observed in two groups.Results:Total effective rate of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of routine treatment group (96.0% vs.68.0%,P =0.032).Compared with routine treatment group,after treatment,there were significant reductions in levels of total cholesterol [(4.38 ± 0.50) mmol/L vs.(4.09±0.47)mmol/L],triglyceride [(2.23±0.35)mmol/L vs.(1.79±0.28)mmol/L]and low density lipoprotein cholesterol [(2.45±0.29)mmol/L vs.(2.23±0.28)mmol/L],and significant rise in level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol [(1.11 ±0.12)mmol/L vs.(1.37± 0.25)mmol/L]in combined treatment group,P <0.05 all.Incidence rate of adverse reaction was 6.0% and 4.0% in combined treatment group and rou-tine treatment group respectively,but there was no significant difference between two groups,P =0.436. Conclu-sion:Xueshuantong combined atorvastatin treatment can significantly improve blood lipid levels and raise clinical therapeutic effect in CHD+DM patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of computer-assisted cognition training on the cognitive functioning of schizophrenic patients.Methods One hundred and four persons with schizophrenia were randomly divided into a research group of 51 cases and a control group of 53.The former were given computerized cognition training covering attention,memory and executive functions.The training lasted 2 months.The controls received regular occupational and recreational therapy.Before and after the treatment the 2 groups were evaluated using the Positive and Negative Syndrome scale (PANSS),the Trail Making tests A and B (TMTs),Wechsler's memory scale (WMS) and the Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST).Results The average total PANSS score of the research group declined significantly from (70.23 ±7.62) before treatment to (59.82 ± 8.41) after treatment;so did that of the control group from (68.32 ± 10.14) to (59.45 ± 9.05).The average negative symptoms scale score of the treatment group and the control group also decreased significantly for (21.46 ± 3.26) before treatment to (16.67 ±3.20),and from (20.82 ±4.21) to (17.08 ±3.23) respectively,but there was no significant difference between the groups in the magnitude.The research group's average TMT A and TMT B scores also decreased from(51.76±21.18) and (114.31 ±35.76) to (44.14 ±17.51) and (96.47 ±34.43),while no significant difference was observed before and after the treatment in the control group.The WMS recognition and regeneration scores of the research group improved significantly from (5.83 ± 3.12) and (8.63 ± 3.45) to (8.21 ± 3.96) and (10.24 ±3.52) after intervention,while no improvement was found in the control group.The same trend was observed in the total test number,the continuous error numbers,the correct numbers and the classification number scores in the WCST.Conclusion Computerized cognition training can improve the cognition of persons with schizophrenia to some extent.

Objective To explore the status of nuclear power plant operators in mental health and its correlation with emotional stability,liveliness,anxiety and urgency.Methods 255 male operators were randomly selected from three nuclear power bases,meanwhile 61 undergraduates were used as control group.The mental health and neurobehavioral evaluation system of Chinese nuclear power plant operators was developed by Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University,which was used to assess mental health of the subjects.The scores of mental health personality factors were recorded,together with four main personality factors including emotional stability,liveliness,anxiety and urgency.Results The score of lie was lower than 8 which showed all inspected groups were normal. 1.57% (4/255) operators had psychological disorders,3.92% ( 10/255 ) had poor mental health,27.84% ( 71/255 ) had general mental health,66.7% (170/255) had excellent mental health,whereas 9.84% (6/61)for control group had psychological disorders.Obvious difference was observed in the final scores between the nuclear power plant operators and control group.The former gained higher scores on mental health,emotional stability,and lower scores on anxiety and urgency ( t =3.437,4.423,- 2.493,- 2.093,P < 0.05 ).Both groups aged over 27 years and with length of service over 5 years were awarded higher scores on mental health,emotional stability( t =2.585,2.349 ; t =2.606,2.947,P < 0.05 ),lower scores on anxiety and urgency (t =- 3.407,- 2.138 ; t =- 2.941,- 2.256,P < 0.05).The mental health was positively correlated with emotional stability and liveliness ( r =0.721,0.650,P < 0.05),but negatively correlated with anxiety and urgency(r =- 0.809,- 0.693,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions The majority of nuclear power plant operators had excellent psychological quality,but some factors should be paid more attention,such as different ages and length of service time.

Objective To explore the correlation of the anti-stress ability of nuclear power plant operators with their heart rate,blood pressure and mental health.Methods A total of 136 male nuclear power plant operators received the continuous performance test (CPT) and mental health test (MHT),while 37 male senior students were used as the control group.Heart rate and blood pressure were recorded before and after the test.The nuclear power plant operators were divided to high score group and low score group by CPT scores.The correlation of the anti-stress ability and blood pressure,heart rate and their mental health was analyzedd.Results The scores of CPT and MHT test with the operators were significantly higher than those of the control group(t =- 1.25,6.25,P < 0.05).After the test,the heart rate,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure of the operators were all significantly lower than those of the control group ( t =- 2.07,3.28,2.74,P < 0.05 ).The CPT score of the high score group was lower in the heart rate,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure than the low score group(t=-3.15, -2.78, -2.54,P <0.05),while the scores of CPT and MHT were better(t =0.63,6.90,P < 0.05).CPT scores were negatively correlated with the increasing range of the heart rate,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure( r =- 0.69,- 0.94,and - 0.62,P < 0.05 ),and positively correlated with the MHT scores ( r =0.54,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions To a certain extent,CPT and MHT test can reflect the anti-stress ability and be used as one of the bases to select nuclear power plant operators and to assess their competence.

OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome measurement scores for hearing impaired people with hearing aids. Two kind of questionnaires of Chinese version--COSI and IOI-HA were developed in order to find out the more specific outcome measurements for hearing aid users in China. METHODS The COSI and IOI-HA were administered for 30 hearing aid users via telephone or by clinical interview. SPSS software was used to analyze the collecting data. RESULTS Five prevalent problems to which most of the people with hearing aids pay attention were summarized. The mean level of the satisfaction of all the participants was high. CONCLUSION The outcome measurement inventory reflects the major problems which patients concern most and it can be used to evaluate the aural intervention and rehabilitation. After further study, this method is worth extending clinical application.
