Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;29(7):725-728
Objective: To understand the psychological status of the rescue troops one month after rescue action for the devastating earthquake and to explore the effect of some important events on the psychological status of soldiers. Methods: The subjects were randomly selected from the 3 major rescue forces, a Cannon troop from PLA Chengdu Military Area Command, a Cannon troop from PLA Jinan Military Area Command and Armed Police Forces of Sichuan Province, 32-42 days after the disaster rescue. A total of 170 subjects were tested with Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90), and the results were compared with the norms of normal Chinese and Chinese serviceman. Student's t test was used to determine the significance of the differences. Results: A total of 78 valid questionnaires were analyzed. The total score of SCL-90 was 130. 25 ± 33. 07 for the rescuers, the positive items was 27.59 ± 15.75, and the mean factorial score was 1.28-1.64. The somatization score was higher (P<0.05) and the interpersonal sensitivity score was lower (P<0.01) than the norms of the Chinese. The factorial scores of obsession, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, paranoid and psychotic were lower than the norm of Chinese servicemen (all P< 0.01). Soldiers with experience of searching dead bodies had lower scores in sleep and food consumption, and higher score of positive items (all P<0.01 for each) compared those without the related experience. Conclusion: The psychological status of the earthquake-rescuers is basically normal 32-42 days after the earthquake. Some positive items are associated with the experience such as body treatments. Surveillance of psychological disorders in these troops is helpful for the early diagnosis and intervention of psychological problems.

Endophytic fungi were isolated from Macleaya cordata growing in Dabie Mountain by agar-block method, and then the endophytic fungi were grouped into different types based on their morphological characteristics, and thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were employed to determine whether the metabolic substances contained sanguinarine or not, and then preliminarily identified by morphological method. The results showed that the leaves hosted the largest number of endophytes (96 isolates) followed by the stems (57 isolates) and finally the roots (28 isolates), respectively. Based on morphological characteristics the endophytic fungi were grouped into 26 types in our study. TLC and HPLC results showed that there was sanguinarine in the metabolic substances of BLH 51 strain. According to the morphological characteristic, the BLH 51 strain was identified as Fusarium proliferatum. All these indicated that the medicinal plant M. cordata harbors abundant endophytes, which could be a new source for the search of active secondary metabolites.
