Journal of Forensic Medicine 2013;29(6):414-418
OBJECTIVE:
To explore the applicability of Capacity of Sexual Self-defense Assessment Scale (CSSAS) in psychiatric patients without mental retardation.
METHODS:
Eighty-seven cases required for assessment of the capacity of sexual self-defense were collected and evaluated by trained professionals according to CSSAS, and the results were compared to the experts' opinions.
RESULTS:
The scores of three grades of capacity of sexual self-defense (none, limited and whole) were 5.97 +/- 5.83, 32.22 +/- 10.15 and 61.60 +/- 13.02, respectively, which were statistically significant among them (P < 0.01). The correlation coefficients between items and total score were 0.59 to 0.91, the Cronbach's alpha value was 0.96, the spilt half Cronbach's alpha value were 0.94 and 0.91, respectively, and the relation coefficient between them was 0.94. According to the original cut off scores, the Kappa value between scale results and experts' opinions was 0.32 (P < 0.01). By redefining the cut off scores, the Kappa value was improved to 0.84 (P < 0.01). Two factors were extracted by means of the factor analysis. The explanation rates of variance were 46.15% and 28.93%, respectively. The accuracy of retrospective cumulative square was 94.30%.
CONCLUSION
The CSSAS could be applied in the psychiatric expertise of the capacity of sexual self-defense in psychiatric patients without mental retardation; however, the cut off scores and the factor weight should be redefined.

This article was aimed to study enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity on anti-tumor from total flavonoids and total polysaccharides in Taxus mairei compatibility with taxol. MTT assay was performed to analyze the cell proliferation and apoptosis of 4T1, A549, MCF-7 tumor cells after treatment of total flavonoids and total polysaccharides in T. mairei combined with taxol at different concentrations. Isobolograms was used to investigate the behavior of combination therapy. Therapy experiments were conducted on ICR mice bearing S180 sarcoma. The tumor weight was measured to calculate inhibition rate according to uniform design. Blood cells indicators were detected by blood cell analyzer. The results showed that total polysaccharides and total flavonoids can enhance the inhibition effect on 4T1, A549 cells by taxol. Total polysaccharides can enhance the inhibition effect of taxol to MCF-7 in vitro, and S180 sarcoma-bearing mice in vivo. It reduced the toxic effects of anti-tumor effect of taxol in vivo. It was concluded that taxol can achieve the effect of enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity through combining with total flavonoids and total polysaccharides in T. mairei.

Objective By analysis oflateralepicondylitis patients MRI features to explore the lateralepicondylitis namedrationality and authorized its opinions for the ninth edition surgery textbook. Methods Cochrane's systematic review methods were used to retrieve the literature about lateralepi-condylitis patients MRI features fromCochrane Library, Medline, OVID, EMBASE, Chinese biomedical literature database (CBM), VIP, CNKI, Wan fang digital journals, and totally 31 articles were reviewed. 13 articles met the inclusion criteria for the lateral epicondyle of humerus elbow in patients with MRI findings. In accordance with the case-control data RevMan 5.0 software was used for Meta analysis withodds ratio (OR) as count data statistics. Interval estimation wasmade of 95% confidence interval (CI). When the datacannot be performed Meta analysis, only qualitative analysis was made. Results 13 studies met the inclusion criteria, including 315 ipsilateralelbows (5 patients with bilateral disease, 305 patients with unilateral disease) and 169 asymptomatic side of the elbow (98 cases of patients with the contralateral elbow, 71 cases of healthy volunteers). The results of Meta analysis suggested that pa-tients and healthy volunteers of elbow MRI showed statistically significance [OR=88.55, 95%CI=(29.20, 268.57)]. Between ipsilateral elbow and contra lateral of elbow MRI showed statistically significance [OR=80.17, 95%CI=(21.53, 298.59)]. MRI analysis showed that in addition to signs of extensor tendon injury, the elbow was also widely associated with other changes, such as radial collateral ligament in-jury, bone marrow edema, joint effusion, tendon tear, and elbows muscle edema. Conclusion Through MRI findings,the maln pathological changes of the so-called lateralepicondyliti-saremalnly for total ex-tensor tendon and adjacent tissue of chronic injury, Naming the current external humeral epicondylitis is unreasonable. Therefore, periarthritis of lateral epicondyle of humerus seems to be the best appropri-ate term to be usedwhenthe ninth edition surgery textbooksisauthorized.

Journal of Forensic Medicine 2002;18(1):48-51
This review summarizes the present advance of effects of stress on hippocampal structure and function and the role of hippocampus in feedback regulation of thalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis during stress. It shows that stress can affect hippocampal structure and function, on the other hand, the hippocampus can also suppress the stress reaction through the feedback regulation of HPA axis, but chronic stress can attenuate this regulation, then significantly impair its structure and function.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the main performance of personality change in people with mild psychiatric impairments which due to the brain trauma caused by traffic accidents and its value in assessment of psychiatric impairment.
METHODS:
The condition of personality change of patients with traumatic brain injury caused by traffic accident was evaluated by the Scale of Personality Change Post-traumatic Brain Injury (SPCPTBI). Furthermore, the correlation between the personality change and the degrees of traumatic brain injury and psychiatric impairment were explored. Results In 271 samples, 239 (88.2%) with personality changes. Among these 239 samples, 178 (65.7%), 46 (17.0%), 15 (5.5%) with mild, moderate and severe personality changes, respectively. The ratio based on the extent of personality changes to the degree of brain trauma was not significant (P > 0.05), but the total score difference between the groups was significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistical significance between the medium and high severity brain trauma groups. The higher degree of personality changes, the higher rank of mental disabilities. The total score difference of the scale of personality change among the different mild psychiatric impairment group was significant (P<0.05). The difference between other psychiatric impairment levels had statistical significance (P < 0.05) except level 7 and 8.
CONCLUSION
The occurrence of personality change due to traumatic brain injury caused by traffic accident was high. Correlations exist between the personality change and the degree of psychiatric impairment. Personality change due to brain trauma caused by traffic accident can be assessed effectively by means of SPCPTBI, and the correlation between the total score and the extent of traumatic brain injury can be found.
