Evaluation of COBIO XS automated urine sediment analyzer in screening urinary tract infection / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of COBIO XS automated urine sediment analyzer for screening urinary tract infection(UTI) .Methods Midstream urine samples were collected from 182 patients with suspected UTI .White blood cell counts(WBC) and bacteria counts(BACT) were determined by COBIO XS automated urine sediment analyzer .By comparing with quantitative urine culture as the golden standard of UTI .The area under the ROC curve(AUC) was constructed to evaluate the dis‐criminative power of variables to predict UTI .Results The positive rate of urine culture was 30 .8% .The isolated rate of Esche‐richia coli ,Enterococcus species and proteus species were 53 .6% ,16 .1% ,10 .7% ,respectively .ROC curve analysis showed that AUC was 0 .808(95% CI 0 .710-0 .867) for WBC and 0 .899(95% CI 0 .797 -0 .923) for BACT .The best cutoff value for WBC was 50/μL ,sensitivity was 89 .0% ,specificity was 83 .8% ,positive predictive value was 86 .3% and negative predictive value was 93 .7% .The best cutoff value for BACT was 110/μL ,sensitivity was 82 .5% ,specificity was 85 .6% ,positive predictive value was 78 .5% and negative predictive value was 88 .0% .Conclusion COBIO XS analyzer is adopted to conduct rapid and reliable a screen‐ing tool for UTI .

The prevalence and risk factors for non-suicidal self injury among middle school students / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of non?suicidal self injury among middle school students. Methods Data were collected from 2 140 middle school students with the mean age of 13.92 by stratified sampling method. All students were evaluated with Beck Depression Scale (BDI),Barratt Im?pulsiveness Scale ( BIS ) , Adolescent Self?Rating Life Events Check List ( ASLEC ) , Adolescents Health related Risk Behaviors Inventory ( AHRBI ) , Chinese version of Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales ( FACES II?CV) ,and self?made investigate questionnaire. Results The prevalence of non?suicidal self injury a?mong local middle school students was 23.2%,total 495 adolescents were endorsed non?suicidal self injury,and 49.7% were girls.The results of in multivariable logistic regression showed the main risk factors for non?suicidal self injury among adolescents were being female,depressive symptoms,impulsiveness,negative life events and health re?lated risk behaviors. Conclusion Non?suicidal self injury is high among Chinese adolescent in the city of Dujian?gyan,and it is necessary to take effective interventions.

Comparative study on the symptoms of PTSD and depression of the children exposed to the Wenchuan earthquake 2 and 3 years after it / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ObjectiveTo examine the mental health status and its changes among children exposed to the Wenchuan earthquake 2 and 3 years after it has passed,and evaluate the possible influencing factors of mental health.MethodsThe General questionnaire,the self-reported Children's revised impact of event scale(CRIES)and the Depression self-rating scale for children ( DSRSC ) were administered to the same children from the earthquake affected areas 2,3 years after the earthquake.ResultsBoth of the CRIES scores and DSRSC scores had decreased over the 2,3 years periods after the earthquake ( z =- 8.772,P =0.00; z=- 2.870,P =0.00 ).The risk factors associated with PTSD 3 years after the earthquake were:gender (OR =1.069,P =0.00 ),the severity of their family's injury( OR =1.141,P =0.02 ),the length of living in transferred safe places( OR =1.416,P =0.03 ),and whether or not witnessed collapse ( OR =1.014,P =0.01 ).The risk factors associated with depression 3 years after the earthquake were:gender( OR =1.367,P =0.00),age( OR =1.035,P =0.04),and despair( OR =2.490,P =0.01 ).ConclusionBoth of the symptoms of PTSD and depression among the children from earthquake affected areas have decreased over the 2,3 years periods after the earthquake.The mental health status of the children from the earthquake affected areas are influenced by their gender,age,the length of living in transferred safe places,the severity of their family's injury,whether or not witnessed collapse and despair.These factors should be taken into considerations when the long-term post-traumatic psychological interventions are planned.

The critical point research of the children's revised impact of event scale of Chinese edition / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective The Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13) is used for Screening PTSD of children. The reliability and validity of CRIES-13 is good. To research the demarcation points of CRIES-13 (Chinese version) based on the reliability and validity analysis,and to improve the useful value of the scale.Methods In late September 2008, according affected condition, students were choosed who were fit for the research standard as subjects in two middle schools. First,general questionnaire (self-writing) and CRIES-13 were applied to the subjects. Second, according to K-SADS-PL, physician carried out diagnosis meeting and evaluation to 310 students who were classified by stratified rand sampling. Critical point of CRIES-13 was divided by K-SADSPL. The assessment value of it were sensitivity, specificity, veracity, PPV, NPV. The right choice of division was measured by ROC curve. Results When the critical score was higher than 30, the score of Se ( 0. 833 ), Sp(0. 836) and NPV (0.97) was in the high level. Conclusion When the critical score is higher than 30, the scale have a good discrimination for PTSD, non-PTSD and it can be used extensively.

The reliability and validity research of the children's revised impact of event scale of Chinese edition / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To test the reliability and validity of CRIES-13(Chinese edition). The Children Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13) was recommened for diagnosing PTSD of children. Methods In the last third of the September 2008,according to the suffering condition,600 students were choosed who were fit for the research standard as subjects in two middle schools randomly. The viability of CRIES-13 was weighted by testretest reliability,Cronbach' s alpha,Split half reliability. The validity of CRIES-13 was analysed by content validity ,criterion validity,construction validity. Results In the test-retest reliability of CRIES-13, the Spearman correlation coefficient of total,intrusion factor,avoid factor,high warkening factor were 0.79, 0.75, 0.71, 0.75. Significant correlation were found among these scores. The Cronbach' s alpha of population was 0. 81. The Cronbach' s alpha of three factors was 0. 79 ( intrusion factor) , 0. 71 ( avoid factor), 0. 65 ( high awarkening factor). CRIES-13's split-half reliability was 0. 85. In the content validity test,the Spearman rank correlation coefficient between total score and each item was 0. 83 (intrusion factor), 0. 75 (avoid factor), 0. 85 (high awarkening factor). The correlation between intrusion factor and avoid factor was 0.63. The correlation between avoid factor and high awarkening factor was 0.41. The correlation between intrusion factor and high awarkening factor was 0.41. In struction validity, variance orthogonal rotation factor analysis was adopted and got three general factors. Their cumulative contribution to total variance was 55.52%. In the criterion validity test,significant correlation was found between intrusion factor and SDQ emotional factor and depression scale total score. Significant correlation was found between high awakening factor and SDQ emotional factor and depression scale total score. Conclusion The reliability and validity of CRIES-13 was good. It could be used extensively.
