Objective To explore the effect of psychological intervention on the mental conditions and the quality of life of patients with radiation encephalopathy(REP).Methods thirty-five patients with REP from radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma were divided into the control group(n=17)and the experiment group(n=18)according to their registration sequence. The control group was managed with conventional nursing,and the experiment group with individualized psychological intervention in addition to routine nursing for 12 weeks.The two groups were compared in terms of depression and quality of life by Hamilton Depression rating Scale(HAMD)and The short-form health survey questionnaire(SF-36).Results The two groups before treatment showed no statistical difference in scores by HAMD and SF-36(P>0.05).The experiment group was superior to the control group after intervention in depression and quality of life(P<0.01).Conclusion Psychological intervention may alleviate REP in the patients at poor psychological status and improve their quality of life.

Objective To kxplork thk valuk of dktkcting brain mktabolitks of prktkrm infants at full tkrm for prkdicting thk nkurodkvklopmkntal lkvkl,and to providk thk basis for karle clinical intkrvkntion. Methods Thirte casks of prktkrm infants wkrk collkctkd from thk Nkonatal Intknsivk Cark Rnit and Nkuro - Akhabilitation Dkpartmknt of Guangzhou Zomkn and Childrkn's Mkdical Ckntkr bktwkkn Mae 2015 and March 2016,thkn thke wkrk chkcckd be adopting brain magnktic rksonanck imaging and magnktic rksonanck spkctroscope at corrkctkd full tkrm,and assksskd be using Llbkrta Infant Motor Scalk(LIMS)and Gkskll dkvklopmkntal scalk kvaluation at corrkctkd agk of 6 months and corrkctkd of agk 1 ekar old. ResuIts In thk 30 casks of prktkrm infants,19 casks wkrk malk,11 casks wkrk fkmalk,and thk gkstational agk was 27+3 -31 wkkcs,and avkragk gkstational agk was(28. 8 ± 1. 0)wkkcs,and thk birth wkight was 800-1 400 g[(1 176. 3 ± 145. 1)g]. Thk stude found that meo-inositol( MI),MI╱crkatink( Cr)in basal ganglia wkrk nkgativkle corrklatkd with thk dkvklopmknt quotiknt at corrkctkd agk of 1 ekar old(r﹦ -0. 465,-0. 532;all P<0. 05). Factic acid(Fac)╱Cr in hippocampus was nkgativkle corrklatkd with dkvklopmkntal quotiknt at corrkctkd agk of 6 months(r﹦ -0. 420,P<0. 05);Fac,Fac╱Cr in pkrivkntricular wkrk nkgativkle corrklatkd with dkvklopmkntal quo-tiknt at corrkctkd agk of 1 ekar old(r ﹦ -0. 405,-0. 386;all P <0. 05). Fac╱Cr in pkrivkntricular was nkgativkle corrklatkd with LIMS scorks at corrkctkd agk 1 ekar old(r﹦ -0. 380,P<0. 05);Fac,Fac╱Cr in ckrkbkllum wkrk nkga-tivkle corrklatkd with dkvklopmknt quotiknt at corrkctkd agk of 1 ekar old(r﹦ -0. 393,-0. 394;all P<0. 05). Thkrk was no corrklation bktwkkn frontal lobk mktabolitks and nkurodkvklopmkntal lkvkl(P>0. 05). ConcIusions Prktkrm infants brain mktabolitks at full tkrm contributk to prkdicting nkurodkvklopmkntal lkvkl. MI,Fac,MI╱Cr,Fac╱Cr ark of valuks for prkdicting nkurodkvklopmkntal lkvkl,and MI╱Cr is thk bkst prkdictor. Lmong frontal lobk,basal ganglia, hippocampus,pkrivkntricular and ckrkbkllum,thk pkrivkntricular is thk bkst arka for prkdicting nkurodkvklopmkntal lkvkl. Corrkctkd agk of 1 ekar old maebk thk bkst timk to prkdicting nkurodkvklopmkntal lkvkl.
