Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 2006;0(06):-
Objective: To revise a coping style scale for adolescents and analyze the characteristics of adolescents' coping style.Methods: 1013 middle school students were sampled for the research: 783 for the explosive factor analysis and T test,while the other 330 for the confirmative factor analysis.Results: 5 factors were extracted through EFA and explained 45.17% of the variance.The results of CFA showed satisfactory construction validity: RMSEA = 0.067.The results of T tests for the effects of different age,gender,family type were significant.Conclusion: The Coping Style Scale for Adolescents achieves satisfactory reliability and validity;the adolescents' coping styles are influenced by age,gender and one-child family.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of focused ultrasound for treating non-neoplastic epithelial disorders of vulvar. Methods212 patients with non-neoplastic epithelial disorders of vulvar were treated with focused ultrasound. The patients were followed up after the treatment,and symptom was observed and the efficacy was evaluated. ResultsThe efficacy of non - neoplastic epithelial disorders of vulvar of squamous hyperplasia,lichen sclerosus and mixed dystrophy was 99.2%, 100. 0%, 88.9% respectively, the difference was not significat (P > 0.05 ). The efficacy in different courses of patients was 100.0% ( < 2 years), 100.0% (2 ~10 years) ,91.3%( > 10 years) respectively,the difference was not significat( P > 0.05). ConclusionFocused ultrasound was obviously effective in the treatment of patients with non-neoplastic epithelial disorders of vulvar.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social skills, language, and behavior. It is now clear that autism is not a disease, but a syndrome characterized by phenotypic and genetic complexity. The etiology of autism is still poorly understood. Available evidence from a variety of sources strongly suggests that many genetic disorders are frequently associated with autism for their similar phenotypes. Based on this fact, this review begins by highlighting several principal genetic syndromes consistently associated with autism (fragile X, tuberous sclerosis, Angelman syndrome, Pader-Willi syndrome, Rett syndrome, Down syndrome and Turner syndrome). These genetic disorders include both chromosome disorders and single gene disorders. By comparing the similar phenotype, protein marker and candidate genes, we might make some breakthrough in the mechanism of autism and other genetic disorders.

Objective To study the ultrastrueture of 3 types of periodontal cells, including periodontal ligament cells (PDLC), os-teoblast cells (OB) and eementoblast cells (CB). Methods After culturing 3 kinds of periodontal cells - PDLC, OB and CB, we observed them with transmission electron microscope. Results There was rich rough endoplasmic reticulum and lots of microfilaments in the cyto-plasm of CB and PDLC cells. There was rich rough endoplasmic in the cytoplasm of OB cells. Conclusion The main characteristic ultra-structure feature of the bovine CB and PDLC was rich rough endoplasmic reticulum and microfilaments in the cytoplasm. Compared with CB and PDLC, OB contained fewer microfilaments in the cytoplasm.

miR-205 is differentially expressed in tumor tissues and is closely related to tumorigenesis and tumor metastasis.miR-205 can regulate the biological behaviors of tumor cells such as cell proliferation,differentiation,in situ invasion and distant metastasis by post-transcriptional regulation through binding to targeted genes.Additionally,further research of miR-205 may be helpful for tumor diagnosis,targeted therapy and prognosis.

Objective: To investigate whether periodontitis might adversely affect the outcome of eradication of gastric Helicobacter pylori(Hp) . Methods: Ninety one patients with gastric Helicobacter pylori and periodontitis were enrolled. The patients were treated by medicine therapy, meanwhile 33 of them were treated by initial periodontal therapy. After treatment, the effect of initial periodontal therapy on the eradication of gastric( Hp ) was examined with 13 C urea breath test. The correlation between the gastric eradication rate and periodontitis was analyzed. Results: Four weeks and one year after medicine therapy, the eradication rate was singnificantly lower in the patients with PD≥4 mm than in those with PD

Objective: To investigate whether initial periodontal therapy may affect the presence of oral Helicobacter pylori(Hp), and to compare the genotype of Helicobacter pylori in oral cavity and that in stomach. Methods: 56 patients with gastric Hp and periodontitis were enrolled in this study. PCR was carried out to identify the presence of Hp in the samples before and after initial periodontal therapy(group 1) or medicine therapy(group 2). DNA sequence of PCR products of 5 patients and 1 Hp infected patient's relative was compared and analyzed. Results: Four weeks after medicine therapy, the rate of Hp in oral cavity was singnificantly lower in group 1 than that in group 2 (3.0% vs 26.1%, P

Objective To investigate sequential expression of bone sialoprotein(BSP), alkaline phosphatase(ALP) and cementum attachment protein(CAP) in cementoblast(CB) during mineralized culture in vitro, and study the morphological and biologic characters of the CB in this process. Methods CB was seeded on the glass coverslips, and cultured for 6h, 12h, 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 5d, 6d, 8d, 10d, 12d and 16d, respectively. The expression of BSP, ALP and CAP proteins was detected using immunocytochemical method. Results 6 hours after plated, cementoblast expressed all of the three proteins. In the second and third days after plated, the cells became confluent and formed multiple layers, BSP and ALP expression decreased, and CAP did not be expressed at all. From the forth day, the cells formed cell nodules with mineralizing function. The cells in the nodules strongly expressed BSP,ALP and CAP, the cells around the nodule weakly expressed BSP and ALP, and did not express ALP. During the following 10 to 16 days, the cell nodules became mineralized nodules. Conclusion These results elucidated the changes of ALP, BSP and CAP expression as well as cell morphology during the CB proliferation, differentiation and mineralization in vitro, and provided some valuable information for studying the formation of cementum and CB proliferation, differentiation and mineralization in vivo.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression changes of cytokines, inter-leukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and the wound time following explosive injury to rabbit’s chest. Methods The rabbit’s model of explosive injury was established. The expression levels of IL-6、 IL-8 and TNF-α in the plasma were detected by ELISA method at different wound time (0.5-12 h). Results The level of IL-6 increased at 3 h after wounding and reached peak at 6 h. The level of IL-8 increased at 1 h and reached peak at 6 h. The level of TNF-α increased at 0.5 h and reached peak at 3 h. Conclusion IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α have a time-related expression after explo-sive injury.

Currently, about 300 million people worldwide are affected by asthma. Most of these sufferers inhale immunosuppressants (ie corticosteroids) and beta-adrenergic receptor agonists for their asthma treatment. However, about 5%-10% of patients of asthma have poor response to such treatment. Investigation of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factor as a target molecule in the treatment of allergic asthma has been the concern of scholars home and abroad. This paper reviewed inhibitors of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factors for the treatment of asthma.
