Objective To explore the personality characteristics of abused children in order to reduce the incidence of child abuse.Methods Two hundred and ninty five middle school students were investigated with general questionnaire and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire of children. Eighty six students experiencing child abuse (CA) last year as study group and one hundred and ninety six non-abuse children as controls (NCA) were analyzed by means of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire of children.Results The score of neuroticism in CA group was significantly higher than that in the control group (55.62±10.60/52.65±10.98,t=-2.114 P=0.035). The score of lie in CA group was significantly lower than that in control group (42.21±9.87/46.04±9.20,t=3.184 P=0.002). On the impact of different sex, the psychoticism score of male was significantly higher than that in the control group(52.37±11.49/48.04±9.97,t=-2.227 P=0.028), and the lie score was significantly lower than that in control group(41.03±9.18/46.18±8.79,t=3.125 P=0.002).The scores of those in the female were not significant.Conclusions There is a close association between the unstable emotion and child abuse in children, so training emotional self-control and emotional expression of children might be a intervention strategy in the future. In addition, the frequency of lie in children is probably one of factors that determine whether children are abused or not.

This study was aimed to establish an HPLC method for the determination of liquiritin, isoliquiritin, liquiritigenin and glycyrrhizic acid in roots and knotty rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. The analysis was performed on a Diamonsil C18 column (250 mm í 4.6 mm, 5 μm) by using a gradient elution with mobile phase of water, phosphoric acid, acetonitrile at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The detection wavelength was 276 nm (0~18 min), 360 nm (18~24 min), 276 nm(24~30 min), and 250 nm (30~65 min). The column temperature was set at 30℃. The results showed that the linear range of iquiritin, isoliquiritin, liquiritigenin, glycyrrhizic acid was 0 . 108 5~1 . 085、0 . 016 8~0 . 168、0 . 0049 4~0 . 049 4、0 . 407~4 . 07μg , respectively . The average recoveries of four constituents were 96.61%~100.89%, with RSD ≤ 0.81%. The contents of four constituents in roots of five batches were 0.513%, 0.072 9%, 0.048 4%, and 1.945%, respectively. Contents of four constituents in knotty rhizome from two batches were 0.456%, 0.063 6%, 0.036 2%, and 1.630%, respectively. It was concluded that there was good linear relationship between the response and concentration. Contents of four constituents in knotty rhizome were basically the same as those in the roots. The knotty rhizome can be used as raw material for the extraction of active components.
