Chinese Mental Health Journal 2010;24(3):206-210
Objective: To examine the prevalence and risk factors of criminal behavior among persons with schizophrenia in a rural area. Methods: A 14-year prospective follow-up study (1994 - 2008) was conducted on criminal behavior, clinical symptoms, social functioning, treatment and caring status among 510 persons with schizophrenia in Xinjin County, Chengdu. The instruments included the Present State Examination (PSE-9), Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS), and Positive and Negative Syndrome (PANSS) .Results: Totally 489 patients (95.9%) were followed up. The life-time prevalence of criminal behavior among these patients was 13.5%. Criminal behavior was more likely to happen among the persons who were unmarried (19.1%), younger t (41.2 ± 16.6) years old], and had earlier onset age [(28.4 ± 10.4) years old] .In the follow-up data, the rates of patients'criminal behavior were relatively higher among these patients who had poor family economic status (16.6%), no caregiver (28. 6%), homelessness (25.0%), and higher positive (14.1 ± 7.4), negative (19.3±10.2) and total scores (68.7±28.7) of PANSS (P<0.05) .Conclusion: The criminal behavior in patients with schizophrenia is common in rural areas and may be affected by multi-factors. The risk factors of criminal behavior in persons with schizophrenia, such as their marriage, family intervention and social support services, should be considered for community mental health policy making, community mental health services and family interventions.

Objective To investigate the anti-tumor activities of cell-penetrating peptide ( CPP) - mediated trichosanthin ( TCS) , which is a recombinant protein obtained from Radix Trichosanthis. Methods Cysteine residue was introduced to the C-terminus of TCS by protein recombinant technique, and then with the newly-formed terminal as the modification site, TCS was coupled with CPP. As a target protein, CPP-mediated TCS was isolated and purified by affinity chromatography. The expression of the target protein and its responsiveness to reducing substances were detected by using the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The cellular uptake rate of CPP-mediated TCS was determined by using cell uptake test, and its anti-tumor activity was measured by using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Results The TCS-CPP compound had been successfully developed in this study, and showed certain reducing responsiveness. After modified with CPP, TCS had higher cellular uptake rate and stronger anti-tumor effect on HeLa and MCF-7 cells. Conclusion TCS modified by CPP can enhance the anti-tumor activities of TCS.

Abstact:Objective To study the relationship between acute mountain sickness and geographic factors in young males,and provide no-vel materials for screening susceptible population and exploring novel research ideas and methods. Methods Total 294 young men came from low altitude were randomly selected,questionnaire was conducted and military AMS standard was applied for diagnosis. Binary logistic re-gression was used to analyze the relationship between 10 different geographical factors and AMS incidence and figure out the risk factors for medical geographical differences of AMS. Results AMS incidence was 52. 04% (153 people),with most commonly seen dizziness,head-ache,shortness of breath,chest tightness and lip empurples,the occurrence was 89. 54%,84. 31%,66. 01%,65. 36% and 60. 78%,respec-tively. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that altitude was the only geographical risk factor (OR=0. 998,P<0. 05). Conclusion Among the population who entered plateau,lower native altitude they used to live brings higher risk of AMS,therefore corresponding preven-tions should be adapted for those who come to high altitude from low altitude in order to ensure their health and safety.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of oxaliplatin (L-OHP) chemotherapy regimen for treatment of colorectal cancer and its influence on the adverse reactions in the nervous system.Methods A total of 92 cases of colorectal cancer patients in Wuhan Wuchang Hospital from August 2013 to April 2016 were selected as the research objects, which were randomly divided into the observation group (46 cases) and the control group (46 cases) according to the random lottery envelopes. All the patients were given FOLFOX chemotherapy. The observation group was treated with small dose L-OHP chemotherapy(60 mg/m2),the control group was treated with routine dose of L-OHP chemotherapy(120 mg/m2), and the efficacies were evaluated after 3 cycles. Results All the patients completed chemotherapy. The observation group included 26 cases of complete remission(CR),11 cases of partial remission(PR),5 cases of stable disease (SD), 4 cases of progression of disease (PD). The control group included 28 cases of CR, 10 cases of PR, 3 cases of SD, 5 cases of PD. Overall response rate (ORR) in the observation group and the control group were 80.4 % (37/46) and 82.6 % (38/46) respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ 2= 0.072, P > 0.05). Nervous system adverse reactions included 6 cases of gradeⅠ, 3 cases of grade Ⅱ, 1 case of grade Ⅲ in the observation group, and 12 cases of grade Ⅰ, 6 cases of gradeⅡ,4 cases of gradeⅢin the control group.The incidence rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group [21.7 % (10/46) vs. 47.8 % (22/46), χ2= 6.900, P < 0.05]. Up to November 2017, PD and overall survival time in the observation group were longer than those in the control group [(19 ±4)months vs. (16±4) months, t= 4.314, P< 0.05; (24±4) months vs. (20±5) months, t = 4.170, P < 0.05]. Conclusion The low dose L-OHP chemotherapy regimen has a favorable effect in patients with colorectal cancer, and it can reduce the adverse reactions in the nervous system and prolong the survival time of patients.

Objective To propose an optimal therapeutic scheme, finite element analysis was used to evaluate the biome?chanical status of femoral head under daily activities. Methods Non?necrotic femoral head volunteers (11 people) and necrotic femoral head patients (7 cases) were included in this study. All these participants were divided into two groups:control group and abnormal group. The DICOM imaging files of each participant were imported into ScanIP software to form a mask showing the prox?imal femurs. Then the finite element models of proximal femurs were progressively reconstructed. The generated models were im?ported into Abaqus, and the forces were added on these models to simulate daily activities, including standing, sitting, upstairs, and squatting etc. The loads and boundary conditions of digital daily activities simulation were collected from Orthoload database. All of the femoral finite element models were progressed in Abaqus under above activity conditions. After the models were pro?cessed, stress concentrating region was defined in each models respectively, which expressed the main bearing structure in each model based on the result of finite element analysis. At last, the elastic modulus (E?modulus) and strain of the stress concentrating region in each femoral model were extracted and calculated. Results There was no significant difference in age, weight, and height between these two groups. In control group, no significant differences of E?modulus (7 125±745 MPa on left, and 7 112±751 MPa on right) and strain (micro?strain:952 on left, and 954 on right)were found between their bilateral proximal femurs;however in abnormal group, the patients' E?modulus (5 798±1036 MPa on normal side, and 6 667±888 MPa on necrotic side) and strain (mi?cro?strain:1 261 on normal side, and 987 on necrotic side) of necrotic side were significantly lower than normal side. As to all the daily activities which were considered in this study, in abnormal group, the E?modulus among each postures of abnormal side were significantly lower than the E?modules of healthy side;the micro?strain in downstairs was also significantly lower than other pos?tures. Conclusion Daily activities with different intensity could generate different mechanical effects on femoral head, espe?cially on necrotic femoral head. The higher intensity of posture, the greater damage would be found in necrotic femoral head.
