ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between the social disability and emotion disorder of the patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Methods168 patients with IBS were assessed with Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. The patients with SDSS≥2 were divided into 2 groups, and accepted the medical routine therapy and explanatory psychotherapy for 2 months, while the patients in the research group (n=35) received the antidepressive. Then they were assessed with SDSS again. ResultsThe incidence of social disability in IBS patients was 40.5%, and increased in those who combined with anxiety and/or depression. The SDSS score of the research group was lower than that of the control group after the treatment. ConclusionThe social disability can be found in the patients of IBS, especially in those with emotion disorder, and can be improved by the antidepressive.

Objective To explore the different cognitive styles between patients with first-episode schizophrenia and normal people. Methods We tested 42 patients with first-episode schizophrenia and 43 normal adults with Stick Frame Instrument Test(SFIT) and Embedded Figure Test(EFT). Then we compared the sum of errors of SFIT and the scores of EFT. Results①There was significant difference of scores of error between the two groups in the SFIT when the stick and the frame are in small angle(P<0.05). And the sum of errors of the two groups in statistics had significant differ-ence(P<0.05). There was no significant difference between male and female in the two groups(P>0.05). ②There was no significant difference either between nor in the two groups of the scores of EFT (P>0.05).③The sum of errors of SFIT and the scroes of EFT showed a weak negative correlation (r=-0.255,P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with first-episode schizophrenia and normal adults have different cognitive styles. In spite of that, there will be different conclu-sions by different cognitive experiments.
