ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the episodic future thinking in patients with schizophrenia from three per-spectives including the specificity,emotional valence,and content.Methods:Totally 25 patients with schizophrenia who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder,Fourth Edition (DSM-Ⅳ)criteria and 25 healthy controls matched with gender,age,and years of education participated in this study.The Sentence Completion for E-vents in the Future Test (SCEFT)was used to test episodic future thinking.Results:Schizophrenia patients showed deficits in episodic future thinking[(0.13 ±0.10)vs.(0.31 ±0.12),P <0.01].They had problems in imaging the specific events even after controlling for working memory and verbal memory [F(1,54)=6.60,P <0.05].More-over,they generated less positive events compared with the healthy controls [(0.36 ±0.20)vs.(0.48 ±0.16),P <0.01].As to the content,schizophrenia patients generated more events about hospitalization [0 (0,0.64)vs.0,P <0.01],more events that were unclassifiable [0.36 (0.09,0.64)vs.0.09 (0,0.36),P <0.01],and less events re-lated with personal career [0 (0,0.27)vs.0.18 (0,0.45),P <0.01].Conclusion:It suggests that schizophrenia patients show deficits in episodic future thinking.They have problems in imaging the specific events,and they have more negative thinking.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To determine the rheological properties of xanthan gum and to investigate its suspending effect.METHODS:Under different conditions such as light,refrigeration and additives,the NDJ-1 rotative viscometry was used to measure the change of viscosity by various rates of shearing.We used sucralfate as model drug,xanthan gum as suspension agent,and prepared 100g.L-1 of sucralfate suspesion.RESULTS:Plastic construction and thixotropy appeared in the solutions.Its optimum concentration for suspension was 3g.L-1 and this suspension appeared significant thixotropy.CONCLUSION:Some factors such as light,refrigeration and additives have no effects on thixotropy.The solution of xanthan gum can be applied as suspension agent.
ABSTRACT
As an essential part of all kinds of medical relations,the physician-patient relationship should be developed following the unceasing progress of medical modes.Patients were provided with the respect for their legal rights,dignity,freedom and personality with humanistic treatment and nursing care.With ethical and moral principles,such as patient first principle,body and mind unified principle,confidentiality principle,impartial treatment principle,optimization principle,medical informed consent principle,coordination principle and the principle of striving for perfection,patients' psychological state was taken into full consideration during perioperative period.Humanistic care is embodied by humanistic treatment and nursing care during perioperative period,and patients are provided with sympathy,encouragement and psychotherapy.The physician-patient relationship is improved and a harmonious medical atmosphere enhanced through humanistic caring.
