Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 1993;0(01):-
Objective: To explore the possible factors that affect the mental health of military officers and soldiers in Tibet and provide the basis for the prevention of mental disorder and the practice of mental intervention. Methods: 90 Symptoms Check List (SCL-90),Life Events Scale(LES) and self-made questionnaire for general condition were used to investigate 299 army officers and soldiers who stationed in the frontier post of Tibet. The subjects were chosen in the principle of cluster sampling in squad or platoon. Results: The factors of environment satisfaction, negative live events, ways of entering Tibet, total score of life events, army years and age were positively related with SCL-90, while the hometown living condition had significantly negative relation with SCL-90. The factors of environment satisfaction, negative life events ,army years, motivation of joining the army, ways of entering Tibet and hometown living condition were in the regression equation(P

Objective: To investigate the coping strategies and it’s relationship with self- rated health state of military personnel in Tibet. Methods: 490 military personnel in Tibet were assessed by Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Self- rated Health Measurement Scale. Results: Military personnel in Tibet adopting positive strategies (23.3%) were more than those adopting negative strategies(16.2%) when facing stresses. The most common coping strategies they adopted were "restraining negative emotion(36.9%)" and "consoling themselve(s41.2%)". The scores of positive coping style had signifi- cant correlation with the scores of three subscales and the total scores of the self- rated health. Conclusion: Different cop- ing strategies have different effects on self- rated health of military personnel in Tibet, and the positive strategies could im- prove their status of self- rated health, but negative ones had contrary effect to health.

ObjectiveTo identify the value of walking speed at the evaluation of motor function recovery in hemiparetic patients after stroke.MethodsFifty-five cases were assessed in the study. The walking speed, motor function, strengths of the paretic lower limb,balance and ambulation of ADL function were evaluated with the 10m Maximum Walking Speed Test,Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Motricity Index, Berg Balance Scale and ambulation item of Functional Independence Measure. The level of association between walking speed and the clinical variables were examined with Pearson's correlation coefficients.ResultsIn the slow group, the gait-related clinical scores were related to walking speed (Pearson's r=0.581-0.770,P<0.05),while that in the moderate group and fast group were not (Pearson's r=0.016-0.380,P>0.05).The correlation between the gait-related clinical scores and walking speed was weakened when walking speed above 44.8m/min(or 41.3% of normal values).ConclusionWalking speed plays an independent role as an indicator of improved performance.

ObjectiveTo discusse the relationship between static balance in laboratory approaches and dynamic balance in clinical assessment and identify the value of static and dynamic balance at functional outcome in hemiparetic stroke patients. MethodsNineteen stroke subjects were assessed in this study. The static balance was measured by postural sway test, the dynamic balance was measured by Berg balance scale(BBS)and Time up to go test(TUGT),the outcome was measured by FIM and 10m maximum walking speed(MWS). The level of association between the parameters of postural sway test and clinical variables were examined with Pearson's correlation coefficients. ResultsThe parameters of postural sway test was significantly negative related to BBS(r=-0.705--0.475,P<0.05);The parameters of postural sway close-eye test was significantly positive related to TUGT(r=0.508-0.583,P<0.05);The parameters of postural sway test was no related to FIM and MWS (r=-0.048--0.296;r=-0.404--0.01,P>0.05);BBS was significantly positive related to FIM and MWS(r=0.752;r=0.700,P<0.001). TUGT was significantly negative related to FIM and MWS(r=-0.600,P<0.01;r=-0.817,P<0.001).ConclusionClinical and laboratory balance assessments are related and that dynamic rather than static balance measures are valid indicators of functional outcome performance in hemiparetic stroke patients.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas have attracted increasing attention worldwide in the past few years for treating complex disease including rheumatoid arthritis. However, their mechanisms are complex and remain unclear. Guan-Jie-Kang (GJK), a prescription modified from "Wu Tou Decoction," was found to significantly relieve arthritis symptoms in rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis after 30-day treatment, especially in the 24 g/kg/day group. By analyzing 1749 targets related to 358 compounds in the five herbs of GJK, we identified the possible anti-arthritis pathways of GJK, including the calcium signaling and metabolic pathways. Bone damage levels were assessed by micro-computed tomography, and greater bone protective effect was observed with GJK treatment than with methotrexate. Receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)-RANK signaling, which is related to calcium signaling, was significantly regulated by GJK. Moreover, a target metabolomics assay of serum was conducted; 17 metabolic biomarkers showed significant correlations with treatment. An integrated pathway analysis revealed that pyruvate metabolism, purine metabolism, and glycolysis metabolism were significantly associated with the effects of GJK in arthritis treatment. Thus, this study establishes a new omics analytical method integrated with bioinformatics analysis for elucidating the multi-pathway mechanisms of TCM.
