ABSTRACT
Social anxiety disorder is a common anxiety disorder in which a key feature is interpersonal avoidance accompanied by generalized problems with emotion identification and emotion regulation. In response to the gap in these therapeutic priorities in other therapies, emotion-focused therapy has emerged to fill the part of the treatment of emotions with an emphasis on the relational process. The paper reviews the recent studies related with the treatment of social anxiety disorder with emotion-focused therapy. The results suggest that the main points of social anxiety onset in an emotion-focused perspective are traumatic emotional experiences and self-criticism, and that the therapeutic focus of emotion-focused therapy is on dealing with the traumatic emotional scenario behind the anxiety and exposing it to adaptive emotions to be transformed. It also works better in combination with other more mainstream therapies. This suggests that emotion-focused therapy is a promising approach for the clinical treatment of social anxiety disorder and looks forward to the development of a more integrated treatment approach in the clinic.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe clinical efficacy of osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures treated by manual reduction with percutaneous vertebroplasty. Methods Totally 82 patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures were randomly divided into treatment group (43 cases) and control group (39 cases). The treatment group received the manual reduction combined with percutaneous vertebral plasty, while the control group only received percutaneous vertebral plasty. Lumbar back pain VAS scores, vertebral anterior height and spine after convex Cobb angle before and after operation in the two groups were compared. Results There was statistical significance among VAS pain score, spine after convex Cobb angle and anterior flange height in the two groups (P0.05), while there was statistical significance in spine after convex Cobb angle and anterior flange height in the two groups (P<0.05);There was statistical significance among VAS pain score, spine after convex Cobb angle and anterior flange height in the two groups in the 3rd month after operation (P<0.05). Conclusion Manual reduction combined with percutaneous vertebral plasty can improve the lower back pain, restore vertebral body height and correct spine after contex Cobb angle of osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures, which is better than pure percutaneous vertebral plasty.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of different marriage modes of parents on mental health of Mosuo middle school students.Methods Basic information questionnaire and symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90)were adopted to compare and to analyze 226 Mosuo students' mental health condition with regard to different marriage modes of parents.Results (1) In the comparison between the students from Monogamous Marriage families and the students from the Walking marriage families,the mean scores of somatization and depression were higher in the former group than in the latter group(0.73 ± 0.59 vs 0.58 ± 0.46,P＜ 0.05 ;0.87 ±0.65 vs 0.70 ±0.52,P＜ 0.05).(2)Among the students fromWalking marriage families,the mean scores of interpersonal sensitivity,depression,anxiety and phobic anxiety were higher in girls than those in boys (1.10 ± 0.76 vs 0.80 ±0.47,P＜0.05;0.83 ±0.54 vs 0.58 ±0.48,P＜0.05;0.99 ±0.71 vs 0.62 ±0.48,P＜0.05;0.99 ±0.77 vs 0.55 ± 0.53,P＜ 0.05).(3) Among the students from Walking-Marriage families,some students had closer relationship with their fathers,and some were closer to maternal uncles,the mean scores of somatization,obsessivecompulsive factor and hostility were higher in the former sub-group than in the latter sub-group (0.69 ± 0.52 vs 0.43 ±0.34,P＜0.05;1.22 ±0.46 vs 1.01 ±0.59,P＜0.05;0.94±0.66 vs0.65 ±0.57,P＜0.05).Conclusion The mental health status of Mosuo students are different regarding the marriage modes of their parents.In the Walking-Marriage families,the mental health of Mosuo students has relationship with their gender and the male whom the students are closer to.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of LongXueJieJiaoNang,a compound TCM preparation,on AIDS cases complicated with peripheral neuropathy.Methods Randomized double blind and double center prospective study was conducted for 62 AIDS cases which were divided into two groups: group A with 0.6g LongXueJieJiaoNang t i.d.,and group B with 0.5g inositol,t.i.d,for 2 months(60 days),and then the therapeutic effects were compared between the 2 groups.Results The symptoms,right common peroneal nerve sensory conduction velocity(RSCV),palmesthetic threshold were improved in the two groups with the group A better than the gtoup B(the rates of improvement were 78.0% and 48.4%、66.1% and 30.6%、67.7% and 48.4%,respectively).The total effective rate was 74.4% in group A and 37.5% in group B.Conclusion LongXueJieJiaoNang is effective for AIDS cases complicated with peripheral neuropathy.
