Objective: To investigate the stress and coping strategy of rescue surgical staff early after earth-quake. Methods: The self reporting questionnaire (SRQ-20) and coping styles questionnaire (CSQ) were distribu-ted to 37 surgical staff and 44 psychiatric staff (the control group) in Chengdu City 2 weeks after Wenchuan earth-quake. The results were analyzed by t test, correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis. Results: The grades of rescue surgical staff in SRQ-20 and negative coping styles factor was higher than that of the psychiatric staff [(9.3±4.7)vs.(3.2±3.9), (29.8±6.2) vs.(26.1±7.1); Ps<0.05] . The SRQ-20 score in rescue surgical staffs was positively correlated with negative coping styles factor (r=0.50, P=0.002) and age (R~2=0.168, P=0.012) . Conclusion: Surgical staff, especially the elder, have more intensive acute stress reaction. It is essential to publicize psychologic knowledge and improve mental health of surgical staff.

Objective T o study the correlation of daily living activities with location and severity of trau-m atic brain injury (TBI) and to provide a theoretical basis for im proving the accuracy of expert opinion. Methods Five hundred and one cases of patients with TBI were selected. D etailed records included fol-lowing: pre-injury situation, location and severity of injury, treatm ent and education. D aily living activi-ties scale (B arthel index) was applied to test the subjects’daily living activities. T he relevance am ong location and severity of TBI and B arthel index was statistically analyzed. Results In m ild TBI group, there wasnosignificantdifferenceinBarthelindex among each location (P>0.05).Inmoderate TBIgroup, there were significant differences in B arthel index between subarachnoid hem orrhage and cerebral lobe injury, also between parietal, occipital lobes injury and frontal lobe injury, parietal, occipital lobes injury and temporallobe(P<0.05),respectively,whereasnosignificantdifference in Barthelindexbetween frontal lobe injury and tem poral lobe injury (P>0.05).In severe TBI,there were significant differences in Barthel index between every two different locations (P<0.05). Conclusion T here is som e correlation between the location of TBI and B arthel index, which provides an im portant reference value for analyzing and deter-m ining daily living activities after TBI.

Post traumatic epilepsy(PTE)refers to the epileptic seizures after traumatic brain injury. Or-ganic damage can be found by imaging examination, and abnormal electroencephalogram can be detected via electroencephalogram examination which has the similar location of the brain injury. PTE has the characteristics of low incidence, absence of case reports, and easy to exaggerate the state of illness, which add difficulties to the forensic identification. This paper reviews the status of epidemiology, patho-genesis, clinical treatment and forensic identification for PTE.

Objective To determine the potential correlation of 5-HTT gene polymorphisms (5-HTTLPR and STin2) with clinical manifestations in depression.Methods A total of 401 depressed patients,all of Chinese Han region,were collected and genotyped by polymerase chain reactions (PCR).All patients were evaluated using a 17-item Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD-17) and Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA),and then associated analysis was applied.Results (1) The age of onset in patients with L/S genotype of 5-HTLPR polymorphism were much younger than that of patients with L/L and S/S genotype (F=3.281,P=0.039).Besides,there was also a significant difference of HAMA1 (anxious mood) scores among patients with different genotypes for 5-HTTLPR polymorphism,where the scores of those with L/S genotype were the highest (2.34±0.80,P=0.010).(2) The scores of HAMD10 (mental anxiety),HAMA1 (anxious mood),HAMA3 (fear) and mental anxiety factor were higher in patients with 12/10 genotype than patients with 12/12 and 10/10 genotype for STin2 polymorphism (2.40±0.83,2.38±0.90,1.42± 1.04,14.60±4.26 respectively;P value:0.014,0.044,0.03 and 0.006 respectively).The scores of HAMD10(mental anxiety) and mental anxiety factor were (2.11±0.77),(12.96±3.78) in the 12/12 genotype patients,and significantly lower than that in the 12/10 genotype patients (adjustedPvalue:0.018,0.006).Conclusions A positive association of the 5-HTT polymorphisms with anxious symptoms in depressed patients is revealed.These findings might provide some evidences for the clinical phenotype and optimization of depression treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of pelvic rotation around coronal axis on the placement angle of acetabular prosthesis after total hip arthroplasty.Methods:According to Murary's definition, the angle between the acetabular axis and the sagittal plane was defined as the acetabular abduction angle, and the angle between the acetabular axis and the coronal plane as the anterior inclination angle. A simple mathematical solid geometry model was established by using the mathematical software GeoGebra to simulate the dynamic changes of the acetabular prosthesis when it rotated around the coronal axis, and the calculation formula of the dynamic changes of the anterior inclination and abduction angle of the acetabular prosthesis was derived. MatLab software was used to generate the function graph of pelvis forward inclination and abduction angle and deduce the motion of acetabular prosthesis.Results:The dynamic changes of acetabular tilt angle and abduction angle when the pelvis rotated around the coronal axis were functionally related to the anterior-posterior tilt of the pelvis in a nonlinear pattern. When the pelvis rotates around the coronary axis, the anterior inclination angle formula is α 1=arcsin (sinβ 1×cosα×cosθ+cosβ 1×sinα); When the acetabulum axis faces downwards the abduction angle formula is θ 1=arccot (cosβ 1×cotθ-sinβ 1×tanα/sinθ); When the acetabulum axis faces upwards the abduction angle formula is θ 1=π-abs[arccot (cosβ 1×cotθ-sinβ 1×tanα/sinθ)] withα being the initial acetabular forward angle, θ being the initial acetabular abduction angle, α 1 being the forward angle of the acetabular prosthesis after pelvic rotation, θ 1 being the external expansion angle of the acetabular prosthesis after pelvic rotation and β 1 being the rotation angle of the pelvis around the coronal axis. When the pelvis is tilted backward, the anterior inclination angle of the acetabular prosthesis increases first and then decreases, and the abduction angle continues to increase. When the pelvis is tilted forward, the abduction angle decreases first and then increases, and the anterior inclination angle continues to decrease to negative. Conclusion:When the initial anterior inclination angle and abduction angle of acetabular prosthesis change, the curve of anterior inclination and abduction angle change accordingly. The larger the initial anterior inclination angle is, the faster it reaches its peak value, and the larger the peak value is, the faster the abduction angle changes. The larger the initial abduction angle is, the slower the initial anterior inclination angle and the abduction angle change.
