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 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.

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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of helmet delivered continuous positive airway pressure (Helmet-CPAP)for hypoxemia in airway extubated patients after cardiac surgery.Methods 120 adult patients in ICU from March 2014 to July 2015,who were after cardiac surgery,were enrolled.These patients who suffered hypoxemia within 48 hours after extubation,defined as that PaO2/FiO2 with oxygen mask could not reach 200,were divided into two groups.In the control group high concentration oxygen therapy with mask was delivered,while helmet-CPAP was delivered in the experimental group.Treatment duration was 6 hours.Results Helmet-CPAP significantly improved PaO2/FiO2 (144.35 ± 24.43 vs.201.35 ± 52.97,P < 0.05) and left ventricular ejection fractions(0.5383 ± 0.0844 vs.0.5540 ± 0.0844,P < 0.05).Breathing rate (22.60±5.08 vs.18.53 ±4.13,P<0.05),heart rate(102.72±17.9 vs.95.15 ±13.79,P<0.05)and shock index (0.85 ± 0.35 vs.0.75 ± 0.15,P < 0.05) were significantly lower.The rate of using mechanical ventilation (6.67% vs.28.33%,P < 0.05) and length of ICU stay[41.0(25.0,67.5) hours vs.49.5 (32.5,90.8) hours,P < 0.05] was significantly less than control group.Conclusion Helmet delivered continuous positive airway pressure is an effective and safe treatment for hypoxemia in airway extubated patients after cardiac surgery.

Objective To summarize the timing, procedure and early and late outcomes of Surgical treatment of traumatic tricuspid insufficiency. Methods From May 1984 through September 2004, eight patients with traumatic tricuspid insufficiency were treated surgically. All were male, and the ages ranged from 7 to 67 years (median 38 years). Seven patients were blunt chest trauma (including traffic accidents in three). The median duration between trauma and operation was 19 months (range 1 month to 20 years). At operation, the heart functions of patients were in class II to IV (NYHA). Diagnoses were conformed by echocardiogram. The anterior leaflet was prolapsed because of the rupture of chord or anterior papillary muscle in all the patients, combined with chordal rupture of septal leaflet in one. In all the patients, right ventricular was enlarged in various degrees, as well as tricuspid annulus. In three patients, the tricuspid valve was repaired. Five cases received valve replacement, after repair failed. Results All the patients were recovered well without complication after operation. Only one of the three patients after tricuspid valve repair was detected mild tricuspid regurgitation by echocardiogram. The mean postoperative hospital stay was (16.6?6.5) days (7 to 24 days). The median follow-up period was 39 months (range 7 to 129 months). The heart functions were improved to class I (NYHA) in all patients. Conclusion The outcome of surgical treatment of traumatic tricuspid valve insufficiency is good. Surgical intervention should be done as early as possible once diagnosis was made to increase the feasibility of tricuspid valve repair. Tricuspid valve repair is the procedure of choice, while tricuspid valve replacement is also acceptable according to the long-term result of this report.

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.
