Objective To explore the medium effect of social support in process of attachment styles and coping styles on criminal juveniles and adolescents with mood disorders.Methods The survey used in the research included Experiences of Close Relationships Inventory (ECR),Social Support Revalued Scale(SSRS) and Coping Style Questionnaire(CSQ) conducted by three groups:177 criminal juveniles,80 adolescents with mood disorders and 163 normal teenagers.Results Firstly,there were significant differences in the avoidant attachment,attachment anxiety,objective support,subjective support,utilization of support,solving problem,rationalization,self-accusation and retreat among three groups (F=7.902,8.047,59.009,19.248,5.304,7.596,10.652,6.699,11.009;P<0.05).Secondly,attachment avoidance had significant negative correlation with both utilization of support and help seeking behaviors in the group of mood disorders (r =-0.470,-0.350; P< 0.01).Similarly,avoidant attachment had significant negative correlation with both subjective support and utilization of support respectively (r=-0.232,-0.235 ; P<0.01) in the group of criminal juveniles.The subjective support had significant positive correlation with solving problem (r=0.272,P<0.01) and as well as the utilization of support with both solving problem and help seeking behaviors (r=0.258,0.424; P< 0.01).Attachment anxiety had significant negative correlation with objective support and had significant positive correlation with self-accusation respectively (r=-0.253,0.300;P<0.01).Finally,utilization of support as a medium completely effect on the process of avoidant attachment and help seeking behaviors in the group of mood disorder and criminal juveniles.Moreover,subjective support and utilization of support as medium both affected a part in the process of avoidant attachment and solving problem for the group of criminal juveniles.Conclusion First,both adolescents with mood disorders and criminal juveniles have unsafe attachment mode,which are lacked social support and easy to take negative coping styles.Yet,the level of attachment avoidance and subjective support of criminal juveniles was found different compared to teenagers with mood disorder.Second,the attachment styles for both adolescents with mood disorders and criminal juveniles have impact on coping styles by the means of social support,but there were slightly different way.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of attentional bias in adolescents with anxiety disorder.Methods:Totally 40 adolescents with anxiety disorder who met the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria were recruited as the case group, 40 normal adolescents matched with the case group in terms of gender, age and education level were served as the control group.Symptom was assessed by the screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders (SCARED), and attention bias was assessed by attention bias test on both groups.All data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0.Results:(1) In the test of attentional bias, the negative reaction of the case group was lower than the neutral response((647.14±94.44)ms, (661.08±112.07)ms), and the attention bias value of the case group was higher than the control group((13.93±33.27)ms, (-0.13±18.49)ms), the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). (2) In the total score and each factor score of SCARED, total score of SCARED was negatively correlated with the negative accuracy rate ( r=-0.38), and the separation anxiety score was negatively correlated with the negative accuracy rate ( r=-0.52), social terrorism scores were negatively correlated with negative accuracy ( r=-0.45) and neutral accuracy ( r=-0.43) (all P<0.05). The correlation between somatization, generalized anxiety and school terror with attention bias test were not significant( P>0.05). Conclusion:Adolescents with anxiety disorder are more concerned with negative stimuli, and it is difficult to shift attention from negative stimuli to others.The avoidance to neutral stimuli may be a risk factor for the severity of symptoms in adolescents with anxiety disorders.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between hypertension with hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) and early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods:Patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to the Department of Neurology, the First People's Hospital of Huainan from January 2017 to December 2018 were enrolled prospectively. END was defined as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score increased by ≥4 or Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score decreased by ≥2 at any time within 72 h after onset from baseline. The baseline data of the END and non-END groups were compared, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was use to evaluate the independent risk factors for END. Results:A total of 238 patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage were enrolled, and 64 of them (26.9%) developed END. The baseline hematoma volume, NIHSS score, blood glucose, homocysteine level, neutrophil count, and the proportion of hypertension, hemorrhage into ventricle and hematoma enlargement in the END group were significantly higher than those in the non-END group, while the baseline GCS score was significantly lower than that in the non-END group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for the confounding factors, the baseline hematoma volume (odds ratio [ OR] 1.086, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.029-1.146; P=0.003), baseline GCS score ( OR 0.420, 95% CI 0.245-0.719; P=0.002) and hypertension with HHcy ( OR 2.441, 95% CI 1.185-5.029; P=0.016) had significant independent correlation with END. Conclusion:Hypertension with HHcy is an independent predictor of END in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.
