Objective To observe the efficacy of duloxetine combined with Bodhi Tree relaxation tech?nique in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder ( GAD ) and the influence of heart rate variability ( HRV ) . Methods According to the standard of ICD?10,124 GADs were selected as study objects from March 2013 to March 2014. They were randomly divided into intervention group and control group. The intervention group fixedly received duloxetine ( 20 mg/day) and Bodhi Tree relaxation therapy,2 times / week,for 8 weeks;and the control group received only Duloxetine (20 mg/day) treatment. All patients were assessed with SAS,HAMA and Treat?ment Emergent Symptom Scale( TESS) at the baseline and at the end of the 2nd ,4th ,6th ,8th week of the treatment to evaluate the efficacy and side effects. The LF/HF of HRV were observed. Results 1.In both groups,SAS score and HAMA score remarkably decreased after intervention than before treatment( before intervention:control group (63.52±14.25,30.26±11.25) intervention group (64.35±14.33,29.83±10.85);after 8 weeks:control group (30.23±6.68,9.28±3.20) intervention group (25.14±5.59,7.70±2.87), P<0.05). There was statistical signifi?cant between the two groups in the therapeutic effects (χ2=4.09, P<0.05) ,and no significant difference between the two groups on the TESS (P>0.05). 2. The ratio of LF/HF showed significantly decrease in the intervention group than those in the control groupt 13?16=-2.806,-2.725,-3.572,-2.272;P13?16=0.006,0.007,0.001,0.025).The value of anxiety se?verity index and LF/HF was positively correlated ( r=0.342, P<0.05).Conclusion Duloxetine combined with Bodhi Tree relaxation technique can effectively improve the heart rate variability in patients,curative effect is better.

Objective To study the relationships between patients'personality traits,coping styles, perceived social support and the doctor?patient relationship,try to build the relationship model of patients’ psychological factors and the doctor?patient relationship,and to understand the patients psychological factors influence on the doctor?patient relationship,to provide a basis for improving the doctor?patient relationship. Methods The doctor patient relationship evaluation questionnaire, Eysenck personality questionnaire re?vised,short scale for Chinese( EPQ?RSC) ,simplified coping style questionnaire( SCSQ) and perceived social support scale( PSSS) were used to survey 400 outpatients,using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 17.0 for data analysis. Results There was statistically significant difference in psychoticism between the high and low doctor?pa?tient relationship evaluation score groups( t=-4.537, P<0.01).There was statistically significant difference in positive coping,family support,friend support,other support and perceived social support between the high and low score groups(P<0.05).Psychoticism had a direct positive effect on doctor?patient relationship( r=0.228, P=0.000) ,and perceived social support had a direct negative effect on the doctor?patient relationship ( r=-0.256, P=0.000).Psychoticism,neuroticism,positive coping and negative coping styles could affect the doctor?patient relationship indirectly by perceived social support. Conclusion Patient personality can affect the doctor?patient relationship directly,meanwhile,it can affect the doctor?patient relationship indirectly by perceived social support,and coping styles can only affect the doctor?patient relationship indirectly by per?ceived social support.

To describe the effects of endogenous testosterone levels on the visuospatial ability.Thevisuospatial ability,testosteronewere included as the key words,retrieving 46 papers in the database.35 relevant papers have been reviewed in the paper,as the results,we have found that the visuospatial ability of male was better than female.The performances of the visuospatial tasks in males were associated with the lev-els of endogenous testosterone,and the effects comprised two aspects:the organizational function and activa-tional function of the testosterone.The latter have received more attention from researchers.Until now,most studies of activational effects of testosterone on visuospatial ability remained on the level of behavioral re-search.The mental rotation task,navigation task and virtual reality scenes tasks were implied in these stud-ies.A nonlinear relationship has aroused a great controversy.Latest research suggests that further investiga-tion of the neural mechanisms related to visual-spatial ability is needed,using ERP and MRI techniques,to assess the relationship of endogenous testosterone levels with the relevant neural basis of visuospatial ability.

Objective To find out parental locus of control and mental health affecting students test anxiety. Methods The samples were from 5 middle schools including 1000 students,and their parents. They were investigated with the general life scales, Sarason's test anxiety scale, Symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90)and Parenting Locus of Control Scale(PLOC). Results The ratio of test anxiety: the mild was 28.8%, moderate was 45.0%, severe was 26.2% ,and felt anxiety was 55.8%. Ratio of test anxiety was higher in the boy students (X2=9.284, P =0.010) ,and heavier(F:16.42±6.70; M:15.18 ±6.51, t=2.716, P=0.007). Student test anxiety was significantly positively correlated with their parental mental health (r fatherl~11=0.166~0.272, Pfather l~11= 0.000;r mother 1~11=0.182~0.242, P mother 1~11= 0.000); Student test anxiety positively correlated with the effectiveness cof parents education, father's belief on the fate, eontrol of fathers for their children, locus of control from fathers (r1~5=0.075~0.143; P1-5=0.000~0.030);felt anxiety positively correlated with self-expect ,pressure from their mothers,over take care attitude from their parents,self-pressure from their parents( r1~6=0.068~0.230; P1-6=0.000~0.050) ,and negatively correlated with respect attitude of parents for their child, Marital relations,Communication time between the students and their parents,attitude of mother for learning( r1-7=-0.074~-0.140;P1~7=0.000~0.034). Felting test anxiety was served as a dependent factor, some factors enter the regression equation,and they were somatization of father, psychotic mother, the pressure from parents, mother over expectations, self-expectations ,the child control from student's father by Logistic regression analysis ( OR1~16=0.675~3.029;P1-6=0.000~0.007). Conclusion Students test anxiety is a common problem in male and female students. Mental health and locus of control from students' parents show test anxiety has somatization of father, psychotic mother, the pressure from parents, mother' expectations,self-expectations, the control of father for the child 6 risk factors.
