This paper will address the development of disaster psychology and its important contribution regarding its theoretical and practical frameworks as it applies to the psychological counseling for survivors suffering from the consequences of natural disasters.This paper will also analyze how the approach of disaster psychology can be applied to work with survivors suffering from natural disasters and to alleviate psychological challenges and its influential factors which affect these individuals.Several strategies have been discussed and proposed.In addition,relevant theoretical and integrated approaches for psychological intervention support and guidance,and rehabilitation have been established.

Children are in the stage of mental and behavior development and easily sufferd from physical and psychological barriers after disaster.This paper uses the theories and methods of the developmental psychology,disaster psychology and rehabilitation psychology to analyze the psychological and behavior barriers of the disaster survivors and to discuss the psychological intervention and rehabilitation approaches.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of microvascular anastomotic devices in the reconstruction of lower extremity defects by free flap transfer.Methods A retrospective review of 42 consecutive patients who underwent lower extremity microvascular reconstruction performed from May 2013 to November 2013 by microvascular anastomotic devices was performed.Patient charts were reviewed for age,sex,etiology of defect,location of defect,flap type,anastomotic technique,complications and flap survival.Results No patients had an arterial or venous anastomosis revised.The vascular anastomosis patency rates was 100％ and the flap survival rate was 97.6％.Total complication rate (9.5％) was due to 1 partial flap loss,1 partial skin graft loss and 2 hematoma.There were no intraoperative or perioperative complications involving the use of a microvascular anastomotic device itself.Conclusion Microvascular anastomotic devices have effective vessel anastomoses in lower extremity microvascular reconstruction.Thus,it presents an ideal tool for lower extremity microsurgical reconstruction.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of modified early warning score (MEWS) and SMART-COP score on mechanical ventilation in patients with severe influenza A H1N1. Methods Fifty cases diagnosed with severe influenza A H1N1 were retrospectively analyzed. The MEWS and SMART-COP score were calculated. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was evaluated using ROC curve. MEWS, SMART-COP score and AUC were analyzed by Z test. Results The AUCs of MEWS and SMART-COP score for predicting mechanical ventilation were 0. 923 and 0. 889, respectively, which were not significantly different (Z=0. 548, P =0. 584).Conclusion Both of MEWS and SMART-COP score are predictive factors of mechanical ventilation in the patients with severe influenza A H1N1.

OBJECTIVETo examine the therapeutic effect of combined use of obidoxime and atropine with artificial ventilation on respiratory muscle paralysis caused by omethoate poisoning in rats.

METHODSRats were exposed to 2 times the dose of LD50 omethoate and treated with atropine (10 mg/kg) to counteract cholinergic symptoms. When the rats' respiratory frequency became slower and breathed with difficulty, the trachea intubation and artificial ventilation was carried out. The rats in group A were continuously treated with atropine. The dose of obidoxime for Group B, C and D were 8, 15, 20 mg/kg respectively, given at the same time as artificial ventilation and 1, 2, 3 hours later. The doses of atropine was reduced to 1/3 - 2/3 of the first dose so as to maintain the rats atropinized. If the rat survival was beyond 60 minutes after withdrawal of artificial ventilation, the combined treatment was considered successful. The function of isolated phrenic diaphragm of the rats was observed with MS-302 physiological and pharmacological analysis instrument.

RESULTSNone of the rats in Group A was successful after withdrawal from artificial ventilation and the function of phrenic diaphragm appeared poor; whereas > 80% of the rats in B, C, D Group were successful after withdrawal from artificial ventilation in 3 h and the function of phrenic diaphragm remained well. The survival rate in B, C and D groups were higher after withdrawal from artificial ventilation than that in Group A(P < 0.01). The function of phrenic diaphragm in Group B, C and D were gradually decreased after ACh was added into the container.

CONCLUSIONSCombined use of suitable dose of obidoxime and atropine with artificial ventilation for respiratory muscle paralysis caused by omethoate poisoning could promote the recovery of diaphragm function and reduce the death rate in poisoned rats.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of induction chemotherapy (IC) plus intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with that of concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) plus adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) for patients with loco-regionally advanced naso-pharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods:Data of 240 patients with loco-regionally advanced NPC were reviewed. These patients were admitted to the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2004 and December 2008. Among the 240 patients, 117 under-went the IC+IMRT and 123 were treated with the CCRT+AC. The IC+IMRT group received a regimen including cisplatin and 5-fluoro-uracil (5-FU). The CCRT+AC group received cisplatin concurrently with radiotherapy and subsequently received adjuvant cisplatin and 5-FU. The survival rates of the patients were assessed by Kaplan-Meier analysis, and the survival curves were compared by Log-rank test. Multivariate analysis was conducted using Cox proportional hazard regression model. Results:The 5-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, local relapse-free survival, and the nodal relapse-free survival were 78.0%versus 78.7%, 68.9%versus 67.5%, 79.0%versus 77.0%, 91.6%versus 91.0%, and 95.3%versus 93.7%in the IC+IMRT and CCRT+AC groups, respectively. The survival between the two groups exhibited no significant differences. Higher rates of Grades 3 to 4 nau-sea-vomiting (8.1%vs. 1.7%, P=0.023) and leukopenia (9.7%vs. 0.9%, P=0.006) were observed in the CCRT+AC group. Multivariate analysis revealed that N stage and age were significant prognostic factors for the OS of the patients with loco-regionally advanced NPC. Conclusion:The treatment outcomes of IC+IMRT and CCRT+AC were similar. Distant metastasis remained as the predominant mode of treatment failure.

The treatment status and progress in T cell lymphoma including epigenetic involved mutations that control DNA and histone methylation were reported and intensively discussed in 2014 international T cell lymphoma forum.According to the theory,treatment with HDAC inhibitor belinostat and romidepsin for peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) can achieve 29 ％-38 ％ overall response rate (ORR) and 13.6 months median relief time.NK/T cell lymphoma in southeast asia is a common malignant lymphoma,15 ％-28 ％ of the NHL accounted in China and Japan for,which is significantly higher than that in the European and American countries,mainly related to EB virus widespread infection.L-asparaginase enzymes,such as SMILE and AspMetDex,can make the early cases with more than 70 ％ long-term survival rate,advanced cases with 40 ％ response rate.Some new drugs,such as pralatrexate,combined with romidepsin can be used in PTCL cases to improve the complete remission rate.
