Chinese Mental Health Journal 2001;15(1):1-5
Objective: To investigate whether the ISCYC (Intelligence Scale for Chinese Young Children) is suitable for children aged 7 to 15. Method: The ISCYC used in this study consisted of 9 subtests. Some more difficult new items were added into 8 of the 9 subtests. The subjects were divided into 5 age groups, each had 20 male and 20 female. Results: The difficulty of 50% items ranged from 0.3 to 0.7. The average difficulty was 0.5. In more than 50% items, thediscriminate index was above 0.2. The split- half reliability of these subtests were from 0.76 to 0.95, most of them higher than 0.80.The means of raw score for subtasts increased with the age of subjects. Some items in Pattern Rotation were less difficult than needed. Conclusion: This study has fulfill the theoretical construction of ISCYC, whjch is applicable for children aged 7 to 15.

Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2013;(2):179-181
Objective To develop positive personality scale for the university students (PPTSUS).Methods According to the hypothesis lexicology,interviewing,literature study and questionnaire survey were used to develop the structure and items of the PPSUS.Using cluster random sampling method,total 1100 undergraduates were tested with PPTSUS.Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.Results Exploratory principal component analysis of the items identified that the scale had 11 factors.The reliability test,Cronbach'α coefficient,split-half and test-retest correlation coefficients were 0.931,0.900 and 0.835 respectively for the total scale.The correlations between the factors and total scores were all bigger than 0.499 (P< 0.01).And in the validate factor analysis,x 2/df was 1.91,RMSEA was 0.045,NNFI was 0.742,and CFI was 0.856.Conclusion The PPSUS has good construct validity,excellent levels of internal consistency and test-retest reliability.And it achieves the basic demand of psychometrics.

Objective: To investigate the adaptability of the factor structure of ISCYC to children aged 7 to 15. Method: A simultaneous confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analysis was conducted in 200 students. The 2-factor model of ISCYC and 3-factor model provided by Kaufman were fitted to the data and compared. Results: Both of the oblique 2-factor mode and 3-factor model fit the data quite well, but the latter had better fitness than former. Conclusion: The 2-factor model of ISCYC is applicable for children aged 7 to 15.

Objective To compare the efficacy of α1 adrenergic receptor blocker,5α-reductase inhibitor or combination therapy in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH),and to explore the application of multi-level statistical model in assessment of BPH treatments.Methods Pragmatic clinical trials (PCT) design was used.BPH patients received drug therapy including α-adrenergic receptor blocker,5α reductase inhibitor,and combination therapy were followed up for 4 years.Multilevel statistical model was used to compare the scores of international prostate symtom score(IPSS) and BPH qality of life scale(QLS) among the 3 therapeutic regimens.Results The intra class correlation coefficients of I-PSS and BPH-QLS were 0.6136 and 0.6946 respectively,which indicated that both data were hierarchical structured.During the follow-up period,scores of IPSS and BPH-QLS were improved along with the drug therapy in 3 regimens.There was curve relationship between treatment time and IPSS and BPH-QLS scores in 3 regimens (all P<0.05),and there was no significant differences in the trend of curves between the 3 regimens (P>0.05).Conclusions For BPH patients with moderate symptoms bothering the quality of life,α-adrenergic receptor blocker,5α-reductase inhibitor,or combination therapy are significantly effective in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.There are no efficacy differences among the 3 drug therapy during the 4-years follow-up.Compared with traditional analysis,multilevel statistical model is a more suitable and precise method for assessment of BPH treatments.

Objective To examine the relationship of coping style,psychological capital and vocational selection anxiety for female college graduates.Methods A sample of 330 female college graduates filled out measures for the simplified coping styles questionnaire (SCSQ),Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and vocational selection anxiety Questionnaire(VSAQ).Results Correlation analysis showed that except the self-efficacy and positive coping style collected with concerns about job prospects was not significant (r=-0.08-0.05,P>0.05),each dimensions of PCQ and SCSQ significantly correlated with the each dimensions of VSAQ (r=-0.44--0.13 or r=0.21-0.28,P<0.01).Regression analysis showed that negative coping style,resilience,hope and positive coping style could directly predict vocational selection anxiety.Psychological capital were the mediators between positive coping styles and vocational selection anxiety.Conclusion Coping styles and psychological capital are closely related to the female college graduates' vocational selection anxiety,using appropriate coping styles and improving mental ability can effectively reduce vocational selection anxiety.

Objective To investigate the effects of somatostatin (SST) on levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-αduring CPB in pigs. Methods Twenty four healthy pigs were randomly divided into control group (SS00) and 3 experimental groups, SS05, SS10 and SS20. All pigs were performed by CPB for cardiac arrest in 45 min. the levels of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-αwere tested and compared. Results The TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 levels were higher than T0 among all groups after CPB(P<0.05);The levels of TNF-αand IL-6 after CPB in SS10, SS20 groups were lower than SS00 group(P<0.05), and the IL-10 level was higher(P<0.05). Conclusion Infusing with a certain dose of SST before CPB could down-regulate acute inflammatory response;SST has no impact on the operative safety.

Objective To evaluate the appearance of CT in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in the recovery phase, and to study the correlation of CT findings with pulmonary function.Methods From June to August in 2003, 100 patient with confirmed SARS accepted examination in our hospital. Among them, 91 patients (39 men, 52 women, mean age 36.4 years, age range 19- 66 years) received CT examination and pulmonary function test on the same day. The interval between SARS onset and the examination ranged from 52 to 125 days (mean 87.4 days). CT appearances of pulmonary parenchymal abnormalities including distribution and extent of involvement were quantitatively analyzed, and four levels on CT scan including the aortic arch, the tracheal carina, the pulmonary venous confluence, and the dome of right diaphragm were selected to score the lesions. The correlation of CT scores with the results of pulmonary function tests was studied.Results Of the 91 cases, 47 patients had normal CT appearance in the recovery phase, whereas the other 44 patients still had parenchymal abnormalities, including residual ground-glass opacification and reticular shadow. CT visual score had correlation with DLco% ( r =-0.618, P
