Objective To analyze the differences in social psychological characteristics of patients with different subtypes of functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods From August 2011 to July 2015,210 FD patients met Rome Ⅲ criteria were enrolled and divided into pure postprandial distress syndrome (PDS)group (69 cases),pure epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) group (74 cases) and PDS overlap EPS (PDS+ EPS) group (67 cases).Hamilton depression scale (HAMD),Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA),life event scale (LES) and Eysenck's personality questionnaire (EPQ) were used for evaluation.Chi-square test and least-significant difference were performed for statistical analysis.Results Incidence rates of depression and anxiety of PDS+EPS group were both 100.0% (67/67),which were higher than those of pure PDS group (84.1%,58/69 and 91.3%,63/69),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =11.62 and 16.34,both P<0.01);which were also higher than those of pure EPS group (78.4%,58/74 and 90.5%,67/74),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =6.10 and 6.67,both P<0.05).Somatic anxiety score and mental anxiety score of PDS+ EPS group were 16.34±3.70 and 14.18±2.99,respectively;which were higher than those of pure PDS group (11.26±3.42 and 10.70±2.94) and pure EPS group (12.30 ± 4.29 and 10.36 ± 2.63),and the differences were statistically significant (t=8.33,5.97,6.85 and 8.06;all P<0.01).The top two life events in three groups were sleeping habits alteration (67.6%,142/210) and severe disease or trauma (26.7%,56/210).The incidence rate of sleeping habits alteration in pure PDS group was 53.6 % (37/69),which was lower than that in pure EPSgroup (77.0%,57/74) and PDS+EPS group (71.6%,48/67),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =8.68 and 4.71,both P<0.05).Most of P scale scores of pure PDS group,pure EPS group and PDS+EPS group were normal,most of E and L scale scores were low;most of N scale scores of pure PDS group were low,and these of pure EPS group and PDS+EPS group were normal.Conclusions The incidence of depression and anxiety of PDS+EPS group is the highest.Somatic anxiety is more obvious than mental anxiety in PDS+EPS group and pure EPS group,most with sleep events.Slow emotional response is common in pure PDS group.

Objective To compare image quality of 5.0T and 3.0T time of flight MR angiography(TOF-MRA)and displaying choroidal anterior arteries(AChA).Methods Data of 80 patients who underwent head 5.0T(5.0T group,n=40)and/or 3.0T TOF-MRA(3.0T group,n=42)were retrospectively analyzed,among them 2 patients underwent both 5.0T and 3.0T TOF-MRA.The subjective scoring and objective evaluation of image quality were performed,and the results were compared between groups.AChA was divided into proximal,intermediate and distal segments(A1,A2,A3 segment),the quantity of left and right AChA shown on 5.0T and 3.0T TOF-MRA were recorded,and the length and diameter of left and right AChA dispalyed on MRA were comparatively observed.Results The subjective scores of image quality of 5.0T group were higher than that of 3.0T group(5.0[4.0,5.0]vs.5.0[3.0,5.0],Z=6.417,P=0.029).The signal-to-noise ratio(91.01±5.04)and contrast-to-noise ratio(72.47±5.14)of 5.0T group were both larger than those of 3.0T group([62.11±4.16],[48.92±4.62],t=28.339,19.681,both P<0.001).There were 80 segments of AChA-A1,80 of AChA-A2 and 60 segments of AChA-A3 displayed on 5.0T TOF-MRA,while 60 segments of AChA-A1,36 of AChA-A2 and 12 segments of AChA-A3 displayed on 3.0T TOF-MRA,respectively.In 5.0T group,the length of the left and right AChA was(24.01±7.41)mm and(22.72±9.36)mm,with diameter of(1.16±0.12)mm and(1.19±0.14)mm,respectively,whereas in 3.0T group,the relative values were(18.35±8.67)mm,(16.80±6.94)mm,(0.99±0.25)mm and(0.95±0.29)mm,respectively,all in 5.0T group were greater than in 3.0T group(t=3.242,3.183,4.595,3.846,all P<0.001).Conclusion Compared with 3.0T TOF-MRA,5.0T TOF-MRA of AChA might provide better image quality and clearer vessel depiction,being helpful to clinical diagnosis and treatment of ACHA-related cerebral vascular diseases.
