Objective To investigate the effect of hypnotherapy on test anxiety in high school students.Methods 21 students with test anxiety were treated with hypnotherapy(6 cases),relaxation therapy(7 cases),or no intervention(8 cases).Results The scores of Test Anxiety Scale(TAS) in subjects accepted hypnotherapy were the lowest among these groups,however,there was no significant difference in test scores.Conclusion Hypnotherapy can alleviate effectively test anxiety in high school students,but it may not work to enhance the test scores.

Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphisms within the CETP gene, D442G,and natural longevity in the Uygur population. Methods 191 healthy individuals over 90 years old and 53 control individuals who died before their 75 years were recruited. The D442G polymorphism within CETP gene was genotyped by PCR-RFLP and PCR-Sequencing. Results There were no difference in the genotypes and alleles distribution of D442G polymorphisms within the CETP gene between longevity group and control group. Conclusions There were no the correlation between the D442G polymorphisms within CETP gene and natural longevity of Uygur population in Hetian. The difference of D442G polymorphism existed in not only races, but also regions where the same race dwelled.

Objective Sequence variations in mitochondrial DNA genes have been found to influence successful aging and longevity. The aim of this study was to examine whether mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms influenced the longevity in Chinese Uygur population.Methods We genotyped the mt5178A and mt10398G in 277 sampels representing three age group (centenarian, n=65; longevity, n=100; controls, n=112) from Taklimakan desert Uygur centenarians,China Results The distribution frequency of the 5178A in the centenarian (51/65, 78.5%) is slightly higher than in those of controls (63/112,56.3%,P=0.0029) . The frequency of the 10398G were significantly higher among the centenarian(47/65,72.3%)and longevity(68/100,68%) in comparison to the controls(60/112,53.6%,P

Objective To investigate the physiological characteristics and the association with low prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Keriyans,a nomadic tribe,in the Taklimakan Desert.Methods An epidemiological survey focusing on diet and standardized physical examinations were made in a randomly selected natural population of 508 Keriyans individuals residing in the Taklimakan desert.In addition,237 of Uyghur subjects from Yutian county were enrolled as controls.Results Between these two populations,statistical significances were observed in body mass index (BMI) [(21.25 ± 3.10 vs 22.66 ± 4.18) kg/m2,P＜0.05],blood pressure (P＜0.01),triglyceride [TG,(0.98 ± 0.77 vs 1.50 ± 1.29) mmol/L,P＜0.01],total cholesterol [TC,(2.23 ± 1.02 vs 3.26 ± 0.85) mmol/L,P＜0.01],low density lipoprotein-cholesterol[LDL-C,(1.41 ± 0.68) mmol/L,P＜0.01],fasting blood glucose [(4.43 ± 1.19 vs 5.56 ± 1.39) mmol/L,P＜0.01],fat and salt intake (P＜0.05).The Keriyans had a low incidence of hypertension(9.94％ vs 29.11％,P＜0.01),raised blood cholesterol and diabetes mellitus(2.2％ vs 11.91％,P＜0.01) compared with the control group.The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 0.6％ (3/500) in Keriyans and 13.62％ (32/235) in the control group.The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Keriyans was much lower than that in the control group (P＜0.01).The caloric intake in keriyans group was lower tha than in the control group [(1 502.341 vs 2106.870) kcal,P ＜ 0.01].Conclusions The preliminary results showed that the physiological characteristics with low BMI,blood glucose,and the low levels of TG,TC,LDL-C,as well as they were inured to low salt loading,little smoking and no alcohol drinking,and natural living environment free from pollution,these factors might be associated with the low prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Keriyans.And their low calorie intake might be the most important factor of their low prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

Objective To investigate association of the ER22/23EK polymorphism of the glucocorticoid receptor gene(GR) with natural longevity in the XinJiang Uygur nationality people and the race difference.Methods One hundred and nintyone healthy individuals over 90 years old from Uighur people were recruited as the longevity group at the same time,82 Han nationality people aged between 65～70 who immigrated in Xinjiang Hetian for more than 30 years were randomly selected and investigated.Genotyping was performed by PCR-SSP,PCR-RELP and PCR-sequencing.ResultsThe frequencies of ER22/23EK alleles and genotypes showed no significant difference between the longevity group and the controls in Uygur,but the carriers of ER22/23EK of GR gene in Xinjiang Han old folkswere significantly more than those in Uygurs,the frequencies of WM, MM genotypes and M allele were significantly higher in Han nationality,while the frequencies of WW genotype and W allele were significant lower.Conclusion There is possibly no association between ER22/23EK polymorphism and XinJiang Uygur natural longevity,but there are significant differences between the two ethnic groups.

Objective To investigate the physiological characteristics and the association with low prevalence of hypertension in "desert people" ,as an isolated population,in Taklimakan Desert.Methods All data were obtained from each person by questionnaire and standardized physical examinations. Total 469 subjects received examinations,including 359 subjects of "desert people" (M/F=205/154),aged from 15~99 years; 101 subjects of Uyghur from Yutian county (M/F=51/50),aged from 20~85 years,as controls. Some parameters :TC,TG,LDL-C,HDL-C,Apo-A,Apo-B,Lp-a,BUN,UA and CRE were determined. The statistical analysis was performed with SAS9.1.3 Version (Inititute Inc. Cary,NC. USA). Continuos values were expressed as mean?SD.Differences between groups were examined by student's t test,and statistical difference was considered when the P value was less than 0.05.Results 1)The height in "desert people" was significantly taller than that in controls.P value was 0.0317 for male and P60 years,P value was 0.0127 and 0.0443,respectively.(3)The prevalence of hypertension in "desert people" was 7%(24/359),that was significantly lower than that in controls(30.7%,31/101),P

Objective: To explore the improvement effect of hypnotherapy on dysmenorrhea symptoms of female college students with primary dysmenorrhea, in order to provide reference for the intervention and treatment of female college students with primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: From Septerber to December 2021, 90 female college students diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea in Qinzhou First People s Hospital were randomly divided into hypnotic suggestion group( n =30), hypnotic relaxation group ( n =30) and control group( n =30). The 10 session hypnotic suggestion and 10 session hypnotic relaxation interventions were carried out while the control group received no intervention. Participants in the three groups were assessed by using the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), Beck Depression Inventory Ⅱ(BDI Ⅱ), State Anxiety Inventory(SAI), Questionnaire of Quality of Life of College Students(QOLCS), Cox Dysmenorrhea Symptom Scale (CMSS) before and after intervention. Results: After intervention, the VAS, BDI Ⅱ and SAI scores of the hypnotic suggestion group and the hypnotic relaxation group significantly decreased compared to those before the intervention( t =7.04, 13.32, 3.58, 2.15, 2.52, 2.01, P <0.05). There were statistically significant differences in VAS, BDI Ⅱ and SAI scores among the three groups( F =24.71, 29.57, 6.60, P <0.01). After intervention, the QOLCS total score, physical, psychological and behavioral dimension scores in the hypnotic suggestion group and the hypnotic relaxation group significantly improved( t =-4.61, -3.36, -3.12, -2.81, -2.71, -2.19, -2.69, -2.28, P <0.05). There were statistically significant differences in QOLCS total score, physical, psychological, behavioral, environmental, and social support dimension scores among the three groups( F =10.36, 4.14, 5.14，4.81, 7.07, 5.53, P <0.05). After the intervention, the CMSS dysmenorrhea severity and dysmenorrhea duration scores in the hypnotic suggestion group and the hypnotic relaxation group were significantly lower than those before the intervention( t =5.66, 4.70, 3.09, 2.21, P <0.05). There were significant differences in CMSS dysmenorrhea severity and dysmenorrhea duration scores among the three groups( F=15.33, 12.33, P <0.05). Conclusion Hypnotherapy can help relieve pain of female college students with primary dysmenorrhea，improve depression and anxiety.

Objective: To investigate the effect of hypnotherapy on improving pain degree,pain catastrophizing,pain self efficacy,coping styles of female college students with primary dysmenorrhea, and to provide the theoretical support for psychological intervention. Methods: Fifty six female college students with primary dysmenorrhea were randomly divided into experimental group( n =28) and control group( n =28).Samples in the experimental group received 10 session structured hypnotherapy, while the control group received no intervention (the control group could receive the intervention when the intervention was proved to be effective) .The effects were evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS),Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS),Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire（PSEQ）,was proved to be effective .The effects were evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS),Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS),Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire（PSEQ）,Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire（SCSQ）in the pretest，protest and tracking test. Results: The time effect，group effect and time group interaction on the NRS,PCS,PSEQ scores of the two groups of female college students were all statistically significant ( F =12.83，21.77，13.65； 22.96，28.98，24.84；25.35，18.26，27.02， P < 0.01 ).Immediately after the intervention and 3 months after the intervention，the scores of SCSQ positive coping dimension of the experimental group（1.43±0.35，1.50±0.39）were significantly higher than those of the control group（1.22±0.19，1.20±0.21），and the scores of SCSQ negative coping dimension of the experimental group（1.59±0.38，1.52±0.49）were significantly lower than those of the control group（1.80±0.17，1.80±0.20）, the differences were all statistically significant ( P <0.05);There were statistical differences among time effect，group effect and timegroup interaction on the positive coping and negative coping scores of SCSQ ( F = 15.14 ， 4.29 ， 14.37 ；7.66，4.10，6.95， P <0.05). Conclusion Hypnotherapy intervention for female college students with primary dysmenorrhea can effectively alleviate pain degree，and improve the pain catastrophizing and coping styles,enhance their pain self efficacy. The hypnotherapy also shows long term effects.
