Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(7):1044-1046
Objective To investigate clinical value of povidone -iodine disinfection for prevention of postpartum endometritis and abdominal incision infection in cesarean, to provide a reference for clinical treatment. Methods 160 cases of puerpera women were selected, all of them underwent uterine segment cesarean section. According to the digital table,they were divided into control group and observation group,80 cases in each group.In the observation group previous cesarean group remained untreated 30min before cesarean vaginal experiments 0.4%povidone-iodine for disinfection.The maternal postpartum endometritis incidence,abdominal incision infection rate, visual analogue scale,leukocyte index WBC,erythrocyte sedimentation rate index ( ESR) ,C-reactive protein ( CRP) were compared in the two groups.Results There were 32 cases of postoperative endometritis,12 cases (15.00%) occurred in the observation group, 20 cases ( 25.00%) occurred in the control group, the overall incidence of endometritis between the two groups had statistically significant difference (χ2 =5.945,P=0.025);endometritis 5cases (17.86%) premature rupture of membranes occurred in the observation group,the control group had 10 cases (31.25%),the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =6.565,P=0.009).Postpartum WBC,ESR,CRP in the observation group were significantly lower compared to the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t=5.045,P=0.007;t=7.945,P=0.001;t=8.676,P=0.000).In the observation group,postoperative abdominal incision infection rate was 3.75%,compared with the control group,there was no significant difference (χ2 =1.021, P=0.124).The VAS score of the observation group was (3.94 ±0.74),which was significantly lower than (6.25 ± 1.05) of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t=6.331,P=0.010).Conclusion Previous cesarean vaginal povidone-iodine disinfection is effective in preventing postpartum endometritis,but can't help to low abdominal incision infection or improve wound healing.

Chinese Mental Health Journal 2017;31(1):72-76
Psychotherapy is a kind of medical treatments based on interpersonal interaction that is highly context-dependent.While psychotherapy is an important treatment in clinical work and its effectness has been confirmed with wide practical application,its adverse effects has received little attention.This article will review the literaturesand discuss the possible side effects and relatedfactors of psychotherapy.
5.General mechanism and cultural diversity in psychotherapy:A comment
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2015;(10):721-725
Psychotherapy is a sort of arts based on science following the general principles of social science and natural science.Meanwhile,the content of psychotherapy,the process of the practice,and the relationship be-tween the help-seekers and the helpers reflect substantial humanistic connotation and are bound up with cultural and subcultural transmission and reality context.This paper is a commentary on the article written by an Indonesian fel-low T.Citraningtyas discussing the mother's role in the matriarchal society and its modern meanings.We discussed that the phenomenon of being cultural extinctionalso presents in China.Although the main stream in Chinese cul-ture is still patriarchic familism,the remainder of matriarchal society still exists in the basic emotional models of parent-child relationship.The deprivation and frustration related with filial piety and kinship may cause the conse-quence of cultural extinctionin the individual level.Referring the theory of Wen-Shing Tseng on the mechanisms of the cultural influence on psychopathology,from the perspective of understanding psychology,we emphasized the importance of cultural empathy and recommended the systemic clinical thinking way of empathic considering and contextualizing.Last but not least,we discussed the second case of the overseas migrant workers and their left-at-home childrenin this article within Chinese context.Moreover,besides the 61 million left-at-home children in rural areas,there are a large amount of substitute-raised children by their grandparents who might be also in the risk of being impaired physically and psychologically.This problematic phenomenon may relate to the living stress and the cultural encouragement as well.By providing a critique discussion with the related theories of correlation of the in-secure attachment with psychological disorders in childhood and adulthood,this commentary encouraged humble learning from our Indonesian fellows and appealed for greater appreciation of separate mothers and their children a-mong Chinese clinicians.
6.MicroRNAs and ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2013;21(12):938-941
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous,small,non-coding,single-stranded RNA molecules,which can specifically bind to the 3'-terminal non-coding regions of mRNA chain to induce posttranscriptional gene silencing effect and regulate the expression of mRNA.Recent studies have shown that miRNAs have extensively involved in various pathophysiological processes,including atherosclerosis,cerebral ischemia and hypoxia tolerance,cerebral edema,neuronal cell death,suggesting miRNAs may be used as biological markers of the early diagnosis of ischemic stroke and the biological target of early treatment.This article reviews the biological characteristics of miRNAs,its relationship with ischemic stroke and mechanism of action in order to provide new evidence and ideas for miRNAs in the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic stroke.

Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2015;29(7):593-596
OBJECTIVE:
To discuss the function recovery and treatment effect of extended supraglottic orizontal-partial laryngectomy in the treatment of advanced laryngeal carcinoma and vallecula carcinoma.
METHOD:
Forty-four patients who received extended supraglottic orizontal partial laryngectomy were followed up on the survival, breath function, pronunciation and swallowing function.
RESULT:
The 2-year, 3-year survival rates of this group were 72.7% and 71.4%, respectively. There were no recurrence cases in this group. All cases of death were due to cervical lymph node metastasis or recurrent cervical lymph node metastasis after cervical lymph node dissection. The extractive rate of tracheostomy tube was 97.7%. Forty-two patients own good pronunciations. Two patients who received partial arytenoid cartilage resection own weaker pronunciations. After practising, all the patients can eat without the nasal feeding tube.
CONCLUSION
Extended supraglottic orizontalpartial laryngectomy give complete resection of the primary lesion. Patients who received extended supraglottic orizontalpartial laryngectomy have good breath, swallowing and pronunciation function.

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether the junior high school students reared by their grandparents in 0~3 years old have more emotional and behavioral problems than their counterparts who reared by birth parents since birth. MethodsThis study was carried out to compare emotional and behavioral outcomes,using Youth Self-Report(YSR) between junior high school students reared by their grandparents in 0~3 years old and junior high school students reared by birth parents since their birth. ResultsTwo-sample test showed that the study group had significantly higher raw scores of the YSR sub-scale of somatic complaint[(2.93±2.83) vs (2.00±2.35),t=2.08,P<0.05],social problems[(3.56±2.20) vs (2.42±1.99),t=3.15,P<0.01],thought problems[(3.29±3.26) vs (2.16±2.29),t=2.30,P<0.05],delinquency [(2.77±2.33) vs 2.01±1.60),t=2.19,P<0.05] ,aggression[(7.89±6.32) vs 5.96±4.66),t=2.01,P<0.05],externalizing problems [(10.67±8.07) vs (7.97±5.61),t=2.19,P<0.05]and total problems [(42.64±22.76) vs (33.61±19.25),t=2.47,P<0.05]than the comparison group. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to control the effects of live events stress. The following analyses showed that the two groups showed no significant difference except for social problems (P<0.05). ConclusionMany factors that affect mental health of the junior high school students. There is a significant differences in the social problems between the junior high school students reared by grandparents from infancy to the toddler stage and their counterparts. The grandparents should pay more attention to help their grandchildren developing social skills in their babyhood.

BACKGROUND: Systematic family therapy focuses on the interaction,and group counseling contributes to the improving of interpersonal relationship. To introduce the ideas and techniques of systematic family therapy into school situations, which is necessary to the peer relationship improvement of disliked children in the class.OBJECTIVE: To study the feasibility of introducing the ideas and techniques of systematic family therapy into school situations with the aim of improving the peer relationship.DESIGN: Inequality experiment group and control group design.SETTING: Institute of Educational Sciences and Administration, Yunnan Normal University.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was carried out in Kunming No.l Primary School from September 2000 to April 2001. Two out of three ordinary classes in Grade Six were chosen to take part in the experiment at the school. Both classes were similar in performance, total number and composing. Class 3 of Grade 6 (n=46) was made experiment class randomly,and Class 1 of Grade 6 (n=41) was comparison class. Children of both classes were measured by the Social Distance Scale for Children at the same time, which was described in 5 grades. All children were required to evaluate their classmates by the list. The following 5 grades respectively scored 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 point: making best friend with him or her willingly,hope to be with him or her in the same class but not the best friend, being with him or her willingly but not many times or too long, he or her may be in our class but have no intercourse, hope him or her not to be in our class. The evaluation result was statistically analyzed, and the higher the mean score of child had, the more popular he was. Five male children who was the farthest from their peers in the experiment class were taken as the experiment group according to the score of Social Distance Scale for Children, who were 12-13 years old with a mean age of 12.7 years. Another 5male children in the other class were selected as the control group by the same way, who were 12-13 years old with a mean age of 12.5 years.METHODS: The idea of systematic family therapy was introduced into the experiment group, including 10 times of group counseling, which were carried out by games, role-playing, group discussion, brain-storming etc.The "everyday work" was assigned to the class as the techniques of systematic family therapy required, especially for children in the experiment group such as "keep secret progress account", and teachers and classmates were required to watch and note their members' progress secretly.While children in the control group and corresponding class were given no intervention measure. Children of both classes were tested by the Social Distance Scale for Children to evaluate the changes in peer relationship during and after the experiment respectively. And children in the experiment group were required to fill in the Group Activity Viewpoint Questionnaire.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison in score of Social Distance Scale for Children before, during and after the intervention, and the investigation on viewpoint about group activity in the experiment group.RESULTS: A total of 10 children in both groups were involved in the analysis of results. There was no significant difference between children of the two groups in social distance before intervention and during it(t=0.232,1.089, P > 0.05). It cotld be Iearnt from the experiment after test that the score in children of the experiment group was remarkably higher than that of the control group (t=3.169, P < 0.05). The effect of group activity on children in the experiment group was remarkably clear and excellent.CONCLUSION: It is effect and feasible to introduce the idea and techniques of systematic family therapy into school situations, aiming at improving the peer relationship of children.
