Objective To investigate the variations of polysomnography of the patients with retardative depression and non-retardative depression. Methods Twenty-eight patients with depression without any medicine at least for 1 month and fifteen normal controls were assessed in this study. Based on the scores of retardation of Hamilton Depression Scale( HAMD), the patients were divided into the group of retardative depression and the group of non-retardative depression. Polysomnography was given to all the subjects. Results Compared with the normal controls, the depressive patients both in the retardative depression group and in the non-retardative depression group showed significant differences of lower total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency (SE), SWS% , rapid eye movement ) sleep time ( RT), REM sleep latency (RL) ( all P < 0. 05 ), and higher sleep latency (SL) , awakening time( AT), awakening number( AN ), the percentage of AT( A/TST% ), the percentage of 1 sleep( S1 % ), the percentage of RT( RT% ), REM activity ( RA), and REM intensity (RI). REM density (RD) in the retardative depression group was significantly higher than both the non-retardative depression group and the control group ( t =2.36, P< 0. 05; t = 2.75, P< 0. 05 ). Conclusion Abnormalities of PSG in depression are proved, and RD may be relative to retardation. The differences of PSG do not existed between different kinds of depression such as retardative depression and non-retardative depression.

ObjectiveTo explore and analyze the effect of simulation-based learning combined with debriefing in neonatal resuscitation training.MethodsA total of 114 clinical medical staffs attended the neonatal resuscitation training course hold by Department of Neonatology, Quzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from November 2014 to May 2015, and were randomly assigned to observation (n=60) and control group (n=84) by coin tossing. Staffs in the observation group adopted to training skills with simulation-based learning combined with debriefing,while those in the control group were educated with traditional method. The examinations on theoretical knowledge were taken before and after the training. Operational exam and self-confident questionnaire for all staffs on each procedure taught in the course were taken at last. Scores of the exams and self-confident questionnaire were compared between the two groups witht-test and Mann-WhitneyU test.ResultsThe mean score of theoretical test rose up significantly after the training in both observation and control group (25.19±2.62 vs 20.17±3.71,t=7.725,P<0.01; 25.44±2.64 vs 18.90±4.27,t=11.170,P<0.01), but no difference was found in this score after the training between the two groups (t=0.492,P=0.624). The practical operation examination score in the observation group was higher than that in the control (34.05±1.34 vs 31.32±4.10,t=4.183,P<0.01). All questionnaires sent to the staffs were retrieved (100%), and the total values after the training in the observation group were higher than in the control (mean rank: 92.81 vs 57.99; rank sum:5 569 vs 4 872,Z=-4.96,P<0.01).ConclusionsSimulation-based learning combined with debriefing is a much more effective teaching methods for neonatal resuscitation training, which might quickly improve the resuscitation skills of clinical staffs.

Objective To identify the metabolic alterations in the prefrontal lobe in male patients with schizophrenia by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (~1H-MRS), and to study the relationship between metabolic alterations and executive function. Methods The study was conducted in 26 male schizophrenics with medicine-free for at least 7 days and 28 normal controls. A multi-voxel ~1H-MRS on the prefrontal lobe was performed in all the subjects within 24 hours of admission. Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) was used to evaluate executive function. The NAA, Cho and Cr were measured and the ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr and NAA/(Cho+Cr) were calculated. Results Compared with normal controls, the patients demonstrated significantly lower NAA/Cr ratio (t=2.93, P<0.01) in the left prefrontal lobe and poorer performance in WCST (P<0.05). The NAA/Cr ratio in the left prefrontal lobe was positively associated with the responses errors and the perseverative errors of WCST(r=0.45, P<0.05; r=0.47, P<0.05)and negatively associated with the categories completed and conceptual level responses(r=-0.54, P<0.01; r=-0.56, P<0.01). Conclusions Abnormalities in neuronal function and/or integrity are present in the left prefrontal lobe of male schizophrenics. The neuron damage in the left prefrontal lobe of male schizophrenic may be the primary cause of cognition dysfunction.

Objective To evaluate the effects of 6-week atypical antipsychotics treatment on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)level,and the correlation between BDNF level and clinical efficiency in first-episode antipsychotic-na?ve schizophrenia.Methods We recruited 39 hospitalized patients with first-episode antipsychotic-na?ve schizophrenia that met with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—4th Edition (DSM-IV).Both Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)and the level of serum BDNF were measured before and after 6 weeks’treatment with atypical antipsychotics.We also studied 30 healthy controls.Serum BDNF was assayed at baseline.Results Pre-treatment BDNF level was significantly lower in the schizophrenic patients than in the controls [(6.82±2.1 5 )μg/L vs .(1 1.6 ± 3.32 )μg/L,t = 7.239,P < 0.001 ].Although BDNF level increased with treatment (t =2.349,P =0.021)in the schizophrenics,post-treatment BDNF level was still lower than in the normal controls (t =4.634,P <0.001).After 6 weeks’treatment for schizophrenia,the total score of PANSS,the scores of positive and negative symptoms,and the score of general psychopathology scale were all decreased (t =6.1 64,P < 0.001;t = 4.520,P < 0.001;t = 4.132,P < 0.001;t = 5.142,P < 0.001 ).Pre-treatment BDNF levels were directly correlated not only with the rate of decreased PANSS total score (r =0.348, P <0.05),but also with the rate of decreased negative symptoms score (r = 0.35 1,P < 0.05 ).However,pre-treatment BDNF levels were not correlated with improved positive symptoms,general psychopathology (r =0.204, 0.186,P >0.05),or duration of illness (r = - 0.058,P > 0.05 ).Changes in BDNF levels with treatment were correlated with the duration of illness (r =-0.345,P <0.05),but not with psychiatric improvement (r =0.036-0.1 74,P >0.05).Conclusion BDNF level is significantly lower in patients with first-episode antipsychotic-na?ve schizophrenia than in normal controls.It could be improved by using antipsychotics.Higher pre-treatment BDNF level may predict better response to antipsychotics.
