轻、中度精神发育迟滞儿童的中药和行为干预综合治疗探讨

采用中药与行为干预综合治疗的方法对１４０名轻、中度精神发育迟滞的儿童进行分组康复观察。结果发现中药加行为干预组治疗后智力商数（ＩＱ）及能力的变化最大，明显优于单用中药组和单纯行为干预组（Ｐ＜０．０１）；与对照组相比有非常显著的差异（Ｐ＜０．００１）。从而为精神发育迟滞儿童的康复治疗提供了新的途径。     

SCL-25 and recognition of mental disorders reported by primary health care physicians

A marked proportion of primary care patients have mental disorders and problems that remain unrecognized by the patients and their general practitioners. There is furthermore a great variation in the physicians’ ability to detect mental disorders. The aim of the present study was to find out the overall prevalence of mental disorders among patients receiving primary health care. The material consisted of 1000 randomly selected adult patients attending primary care facilities in Turku. The mental disorders were assessed by using the Symptom Checklist (SCL-25) and by general practitioners. According to the SCL-25, one fourth of the sample had a mental disorder. Only two fifths of them could be identified by the general practitioners.     

Psychiatric aspects of Down's syndrome

In a survey study of psychiatric morbidity, based on a representative sample from the Danish mental retardation register, 44 adults with Down's syndrome (DS) were compared with 258 other mentally retarded adults. Assessed by the parameters psychiatric disorder, behaviour problems, neurotic traits, and deviant social interaction, the DS group functioned better on all parameters. However, male and female DS patients were very different, the females constituting a superior well-functioning group while the males had major problems in every area. High prevalence rates of dementia and infantile autism were found in the DS group. General function rapidly decreased with age in DS patients.     

142例先天性智能发育不全患儿的遗传学研究

应用细胞遗传学和皮纹分析方法对142例先天性智能发育不全患儿进行了研究。其中,120例正常核型,22例异常核型。异常核型46,XY,t(1;3;21)(1pter→1q32.1∶∶21p11.2→21qter;3 qter→3p26.2∶∶1 q32.1→1 qter)和45,X/45,X,-22,+der(22)t(Y;22)(22qter→22p11.1∶∶Yq11.1→Yq11.2)两种核型国内尚未见报道。皮纹分析结果表明56.7%的患者有1项以上异常皮纹;染色体异常患者均有2项以上异常皮纹;先天愚型患者有“特定”的皮纹改变。     

Interventions to promote optimal health outcomes in children with Type 1 diabetes—are they effective?

The incidence of Type 1 diabetes is increasing worldwide, imposing enormous public health costs, as well as profoundly affecting individual quality of life. There is evidence that psychological problems are increased in children with diabetes and this morbidity is often associated with poor metabolic control. Specific risk factors for this dual morbidity are emerging from empirical studies. The next challenge is to identify effective interventions for use with children at risk for adverse mental and physical health outcomes. The intervention literature is reviewed. It is noted that most studies have used diabetes-specific, unstandardized interventions in groups of adolescents, with few interventions trialled with younger children. No study has targeted a specific psychological disorder such as behaviour problems or depression, both of which are known to be increased in children with diabetes and for which effective standardized interventions are available. Attention is drawn to methodological limitations in many of the studies conducted to date and suggestions made to reduce these in future interventions attempting to reduce the burden of illness in children with diabetes.     

A "grapple hook" technique using a deflectable tip catheter to facilitate complex proximal circumflex interventions.

We present two patients with angulated, proximal left circumflex lesions, one a chronic total occlusion and one an acute subtotal occlusion. In both cases, use of the deflectable tip Venture Catheter (Velocimed, Minneapolis, MN) facilitated guide wire passage and successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after prior attempts at guide wire passage with standard wires were unsuccessful.

Intimacy and mental disorder in late middle age. Report of the TURVA project

This study, which was carried out as part of the TURVA project on psychosocial adaptation in old age, is concerned with the significance of social support to people approaching retirement age. The population consisted of 200 urban dwellers and 189 rural dwellers, who were studied at the age of 62. The subjects were either about to retire in the near future or had already retired, and it was assumed that this event causes a certain amount of stress, which may lead to mental disturbance regardless of the amount of social support available to the individual. Intimate relationship and close friendship served as the measures of social support. Mental disturbances were assessed on the basis of the General Health Questionnaire (36-item version) and the number of psychic and especially depressive symptoms. The prevalence of mental disturbance and depressive symptoms was lowest in those people who lived in a close marital relationship and who also described their spouse as empathic. Psychic symptoms were most common in those people who said their relationship to their spouse was distant and who described them as unempathic. The subjects who were not married fell in-between these 2 groups regardless of whether they had an intimate relationship with someone of the opposite sex. A positive marital relationship seemed to provide a shield against depression, while a negative marital relationship tended to make the individual more vulnerable to depression. The role of a close non-marital friendship depended on the respondent's sex. In women, it was associated with a high prevalence of depressive symptoms.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Psychological well‐being and psychosocial work environment characteristics among emergency medical and nursing staff

The aim of this study was to determine if the effect of psychosocial work environment on psychological well‐being was different for doctors and nurses who work in emergency departments in Spain. A cross‐sectional survey was carried out among 945 emergency doctors and nurses staff from Spain. The outcome variable was the psychological well‐being measured by two dimensions of SF‐36 Health Survey (SF‐36) (mental health, vitality) and one dimension of Maslach's Burnout Inventory (emotional exhaustion). The explanatory variable was the psychosocial work environment evaluated according to Karasek and Johnson's demand‐control model that includes the dimensions of psychological demands, job control, supervisor social support and co‐workers' social support. The adjusted odds ratios and their 95 per cent confidence intervals were calculated by logistic regression. The prevalence of low vitality, bad mental health and high emotional exhaustion was higher among doctors than nurses. Exposure to high psychological demands increased the probability of low vitality, bad mental health and high emotional exhaustion among doctors and nurses. Low job control and low co‐workers' social support at work were associated with poor psychological well‐being only among doctors. Low job supervisors' social support increased the risk of bad mental health among doctors and of high emotional exhaustion among nurses. There is a different effect of psychosocial work environment on psychological well‐being between doctors and nurses. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
