Chinese Journal of Sports Medicine 2017;36(5):423-428
Objective To explore the relation among physical exercise,depression among female college students and social support,and the multiple mediation effect of three dimensions of social support between physical exercise and depression.Methods A total of 300 female college students were selected and investigated using the physical activity rating scale-3 (PARS-3),self-rating depression scale (SDS) and social support rating scale(SSRS).The multiple mediation effects of the subjective support,objective support and support utilization were tested using the hierarchical regression and the bias-corrected non parametric percent Bootstrap method.Results The overall effect of multiple mediation was significant,accounting for 56% of the total effect,while the direct effect of physical exercise on depression was not significant.As for the multiple mediation effects,the mediation effect of subjective support and support utilization was significant,while that of the objective support was not.Their mediation effect accounted for 47.3%,36.6% and 16.1% of the indirect effect respectively.Conclusion Social support has a mediation effect between physical exercise and depression among female college students,and the subjective support and support utilization are the main mediation factors.
3.The spread and influence of YunQi theory of TCM in Japan
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2009;31(2):111-112
With the frequent culture communication between china and Japan, YanQi theory of TCM spread to Japan and exerted an influence on Japanese medicine. From the volume of"YunQi" in "The literature investigation of TCM", we can tell YunQi theory occupied a major position in the Japanese medical literatures which spread from china. The primary books of YunQi edited by Japanese scholars reveal Japanese doctors are apt to use this theory to promote their clinical practice. The accordant cognition of Chinese and Japanese scholars is that Japanese doctors accept the value of YunQi theory and beware of it's deficiency in clinic.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of topical glucocorticoids combined with a moisturizer containing antimicrobial peptides in the treatment of persistent localized eczema. Methods A total of 60 patients with localized eczema were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 topically applied Fuqing gel (an antimicrobial dressing) and hydrocortisone butyrate cream twice a day for 2 weeks, and group 2 topically applied the vehicle of Fuqing gel and hydrocortisone butyrate cream twice a day for 2 weeks. Recovered patients were followed up once every 4 weeks for 12 weeks. Bacterial culture was performed for 5 patients with suspected local Staphylococcus. aureus infection, including 3 patients in group 1 and 2 in group 2, before and after the 2?week treatment. Therapeutic effects were evaluated and compared between the two groups. Results Compared with group 2, group 1 showed a signifi?cantly higher response rate after 1?week treatment(χ2 = 5.455, P < 0.05), but significantly lower eczema area and severity index(EASI)scores after 1? and 2?week treatment(both P < 0.05). Before the treatment, S. aureus was detected in all the 5 patients. After 2?week treatment, S. aureus was undetected in all the 3 patients in group 1, but was still detected in the other 2 patients in group 2. The treatment was rated as ineffective in none of 7 recovered patients in group 1 during the 12?week follow up, but in 2 of 5 recovered patients in group 2 at week 10. Conclusion Fuqing gel combined with glucocorticoid ointment is safe and effective for the treatment of localized eczema, and can be applied in clinic.
