1.Confirmatory factor analysis of armymen's mental quality scale
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2010;19(7):658-660
Objective To analyze the structure of Armymen' s Mental Quality Scale. Methods Army-men's Mental Quality Scale was administrated to 1426 Chinese armymen in five areas of China,and quantitative methods,such as exploratory factor analysis ( EFA), confirmatory factor analysis ( CFA) was adopted . Results (1) Exploratory factor analysis showed that the 15 factors of armymen' s mental quality can explain 58.328% of total variance. (2)Fit indexes of 15-factor structure model were all consistent with model fitting condition. (3) One factor two and five factor one model of mental quality fitted well. The structure of armymen' s mental quality include 5 dimensions (concretely 15 factors):aptitude,loyalty,bravery,self-confidence and willpower respectively. The aptitude was comprised of judgment, decision-making and response; the loyalty consists of patriotism, dedication and responsibility; the bravery was constituted of determination,steadiness and constancy;the self-confidence consists of imperturbation,independence and team spirit;the willpower consists of adaptability,adjustment and endurance. Conclusion The structure model is reasonable and Armymen' s Mental Quality Scale has good structural validity.

6.Study on the validity of the Symptom Check-List-90 of Chinese version
Journal of Third Military Medical University 2001;23(4):481-483
Objective To investigate the validity of the Chinese version of the Symptom Check-List-90 (the SCL-90) in Chinese population. Methods A total of 624 normal person and 268 out patients were examined with the SCL-90. Results (1)The internal consistency of the original subscales was found to be good and Cronbach's coefficient alpha ranged from 0.78 to 0.90; (2)Discrimination function analysis based on the 9 original subscales showed that the power of the SCL-90 in discriminating the patients and the community was good with a corrective rate of 80.6%; (3)Factor analysis on the items of the questionnaire yielded a very strong un-rotated first factor which could represent other factors; (4)High inter-correlations were found between the 9 original subscales of the SCL-90 with a correlation coefficient ranging from 0.39 to 0.79. Conclusion (1) The SCL-90 is acceptable as a research setting and psychiatric screening inventory; (2) The SCL-90 does not have potential as an inventory to distinguish different diagnostic groups; (3) The SCL-90 is not a multidimensional inventory.
7.Multi-wave longitudinal study on causal model of hopelessness depression in Chinese undergraduates
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2009;18(6):547-550
Objective To test the diathesis-stress component in the hopelessness theory and demonstrate the mediator effect of hopelessness in depression-generating process. Methods In the 6-month longitudinal study,latent growth curve model(LGM) was used in a sample of 269 Chinese undergraduates on the base of questionnaire investigation. Results The intercept for hopelessness depression had a significant association with the intercept for negative life events (path coefficient =0.48) and depressogenic attributional style (path coefficient=0.26).The slope for hopelessness depression had a significant association with the slope for negative life events (path coefficient=0.73). The complete mediator effect of hopelessness between depressogenic attributional style and the intercept for hopelessness depression was 0.143. The complete mediator effect of hopelessness between the slope for negative life events and the intercept for hopelessness depression was 0.131. The partial mediator effect of hopelessness between the intercept for negative life events and the intercept for hopelessness depression was 0.151.Conclusion Depressogenic attributional style interacted with the occurrence of negative events to predict the occurrence of hopelessness depression. Hopelessness made partial mediator effect on the hopelessness depression-generating process.
8.Effects of electroacupuncture on hippocampal epileptic burst discharges induced by intracerebroventricular injection of kainic acid in the rat
Journal of Third Military Medical University 1983;0(03):-
Epilepsy induced by intracerebroventricular injection of kainic acid in the rat could be attenuated by electroacupuncture(EA)at the "Du Mo point" since EA resulted in a reduction of the frequency and amplitude of the hippocampal EEG especially in the 1st min after EA.No unsynchronization of the hippocampal EEG occurred before or after EA.The hippocampal unit discharges after intracerebroventricular injection of kainic acid were classified into positive units,negative units and indifferent units,The positive units were inhibited by EA while the negative units,on the contrary,were activated.The positive units(21%)and the indifferent units(33%)were converted into negative units by EA.At the same time,EA reduced the NSEB value and IBSF value of hippocampal epileptic burst discharges.On the basis of these findings,it is believed that the inhibition of the amplitude of hippocampal epileptic EEG by EA plays an important role of the antiepileptic action of EA,hippocampal negative units are one of the factors of antiepileptic action,and EA can regulate the intrinsic characteristics of epileptic neurones.
