Objective To investigate the role of chitosan in combination with far infrared treatment on vascular access flow of arteriovenous fistula .Methods A total of 172 hemodialysis patients were recruited in this study .The patients were admitted to the blood purification center in Department of Nephrology in Daping Hospital from 2012 to 2013 .The 172 hemodialysis patients ,were randomized into 4 groups ,43 patients in each group ,including control group ,chitosan group ,far infrared group and combined treat‐ment group .The combined treatment group were treated with chitosan and far infrared in vessel puncture for 40 min at the begin‐ning of each dialysis ;chitosan group accepted the chitosan treatment only ;far infrared group just used far infrared therapy device ;control group were treated with conventional nurses .Arteriovenous fistula blood flow was detected by doppler ultrasound equip‐ment ,the maximum blood flow Qa0 (at the beginning of the study) ,Qa1 (1 month later in the study) ,Qa2(3 months later in the study) ,Qa3(6 months later in the study) ,were analyzed and compared .Results There were no significant difference at different times between the blood flow of arteriovenous fistula in the chitosan group (P>0 .05) .Qa2 and Qa3 of the far infrared group were significantly higher than Qa0 (P<0 .05) .Qa1 ,Qa2 ,Qa3 were significantly higher than Qa0 in the combined treatment group (P<0 .05) .Qa2/Qa0 and Qa3/Qa0 in the far infrared group were significantly higher than control group and chitosan group (P<0 .05) . Compared with the other three group ,Qa1/Qa0 ,Qa2/Qa0 and Qa3/Qa0 were significantly increased in the combined treatment group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The chitosan and far infrared combined treatment can effectively protect the blood flow of arteriove‐nous fistula in the hemodialysis patients .The combined treatment is one effective method for nursing arteriovenous fistula .

Objective:To study the personality development of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) from the perspective of memory-tracing.Methods:From January 2016 to May 2017, totally 103 patients with OCD (patient group) and 88 normal subjects (control group) matched with age, gender, and educational level in the national urban population norm database of Wang Weidong memory-tracing personality developmental inventory (WMPI) were included.WMPI was used to evaluate and compare all subjects.SPSS 22.0 software and nonparametric test were used for statistically analysis, and independent sample t-test and nonparametric test were used for data camparison. Results:1.In terms of external influencing factors of personality development: on the part of life events, the score of family affair in the patient group was higher than that in the control group( P<0.05) in childhood.In terms of upbringing, the scores of strictness (5.637±3.463) and punishment (6.275±4.565) in the patient group were higher than those ((4.341±3.092), (5.000±3.698)) in the control group in childhood( t=-2.703, -2.093, both P<0.05). 2.In the aspect of personality elements: (1) Among courage subscales, the scores of natural fear (7.686±3.441) and adaptability (15.000±5.321) in the patient group were higher than those((6.023±3.991), (12.841±6.070)) in the control group in childhood ( t=-3.085, -2.613, both P<0.05) .For all three stages, interpersonal fear scores in the patient group ((20.284±8.255), (22.804±7.458), (22.725±7.145))were all higher than those ((16.205±7.937), (19.841±6.319), (18.364±6.277))in the control group( t=-3.458, -2.929, -4.437, P<0.01). (2) Among interpersonal relationship, the dependence dimension scores were higher in the patient group (10.804±3.621) than those (8.830±4.850) in the control group during childhood( t=-3.205, P<0.01). (3) Among sex development, the scores of heterosexual communications (11.941±4.878), love concept (15.098±4.180) and sexual concept (8.892±2.988) were higher in the patient group than those ((9.125±5.040), (11.761±5.202), (6.943±3.288)) in the control group in adolescence(all P<0.01). (4) Among ego, the score of self-care dimension in the patient group (6.465±2.890) was higher than that in the control group(4.239±2.861) in childhood ( P<0.01). In the dimension of autonomy, the scores of the patient group ((10.772±2.694), (11.347±2.621)) were higher than those in the control group ((8.011±4.039), (9.818±2.693)) in childhood and adolescence (both P<0.01). (5) Among the way of thinking, the score of absolute thinking dimension in the patient group was higher than that in control group in childhood ( P<0.01). In the dimension of cautious, the scores of patient group were higher than those in the control group in childhood and adolescence (both P<0.01). (6)Among volition, the scores of decisive dimension in the patient group were higher than those in the control group in adolescence and youth (both P<0.01). In the dimension of consciousness, the score of patient group was higher than that in the control group in youth( P<0.01). In the dimension of insistence, the score of the patient group were higher than those in the control group in childhood and youth (both P<0.01). (7) Among worldviews, the scores of motivations, perspective of career and perspective of friendship in the patient group were higher than those in the control group in adolescence (all P<0.01). The score of value dimension in patient group was lower than that in the control group in the youth ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Patients with OCD have more strictness and punishment during their childhood in terms of upbringing.This leads to a lack of courage, poor interpersonal relationships, low self-care or autonomy, high attachment, absolutization of thinking and suppressing themself more in their childhood.In their adolescence and youth, their lack of courage, poor self-care or autonomy and the way of thinking cautious and stubborn will further aggravate and gradually show a more conservative sexual development and traditional world outlook.

Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) in chronic insomnia patients in terms of the improvements of psychological and sleep diary parameters. Methods Patients who met the diagnostic criteria of chronic insomnia, were divided into primary group or comorbid group. Both groups received standard CBT-i interventions. Psychological scales and sleep diaries were used to evaluate participants' severity of insomnia and psychological conditions related to insomnia at four time points:before intervention (baseline), immediate after intervention, 4 weeks and 16 weeks after intervention. Results Both groups achieved significant improvements after intervention on psychological measurements and sleep diary parameters. Such improvements were maintained at 4-week and 16-week follow-ups. The sleep diary data indicated that by the end of the intervention, there were significant differences on sleep onset latency(51.72 min to 10.53 min in primary group, P<0.01;59.26 min to 15.67min in comorbid group, P<0.01)and sleep efficiency (71%to 95%in primary group, P<0.01;68%to 90%in comorbid group, P<0.01). There were differences on sleep onset latency (10.00 min vs. 13.93 min,P<0.05), total sleep time (355.71 min vs. 327.85 min, P<0.05) and sleep efficiency (95%vs. 91%, P<0.01) in primary group and comorbid group respectively. No differences were found on wake after sleep onset in the two groups. Conclusions Chronic insomnia patients with or without comorbidities both have improvements after CBT-i. Sleep diary parameters rather than psychological measurements are different in two groups. Thus, CBT-i is an effective non-pharmaceutical therapy inpatients with chronic insomnia.
