3.Applicability of capacity of sexual self-defense assessment scale in psychiatric patients without mental retardation.
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 Clinical features of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) were reviewed in order to improve its diagnosis in our clinical practice. Methods Clinical data of 70 patients with PBC were reviewed including the clinical manifestation, laboratory tests, pathological findings and the response to therapy. Results Sixty-two patients were females (88.6%), eight patients were males (11.4%), and the mean age at diagnosis was (53.1?10.4) years. The most frequently complained symptoms were pruitus (60.0%), fatigue (42.9%), anorexia (41.4%) and jaundice (45.7%). Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and ? glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) levels were markedly elevated in all patients, while alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were mildly elevated. The serum total bilirubin level increased in sixty-five patients (92.9%). Forty-four patients (62.9%) had elevated serum immunoglobin M (IgM), and 98.6% of patients (69/70) were antimitochondrial antibody (AMA) /AMA-M2 positive. Forty-one patients underwent pathological examinations, 82.9% in early stage (Ⅰ,Ⅱ stage) and 17.1% in advanced stage (Ⅲ,Ⅳ stage).Conclusions PBC most frequently affects middle-aged women and the main clinical manifestations are pruritus, fatigue, anorexia and jaundice. The elevated level of ALP, GGT, IgM and positive AMA/AMA-M2 may be crucial to diagnosis of PBC.

Totally 40 male SD rats were randomly divided into sedentary group (G1, n =8), exercise group (G2, n =16) and exercise with drug group (G3, n =16). Animal models were established by treadmill training. At the last time for training, rats in the G2 and G3 were separately divided into control group (n =8) and exhausting exercise group (n =8). Rats in the G3 were orally injected with quercetin 50 mg/kg by intragastric administration everyday at 3 hours before training, and others in the G1 and G2 were fed with the same amount of saline by gavage. Hemoglobin (Hb) content, activities of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined in exhausted rats. The results showed that quercetin could remarkably restrain the decrease of Hb content and the increase of activities of ALT, AST and LDH after exhausted exercise.
