ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the brain activation patten associated with visual sexual stimuli.Method:Thirteen healthy right-handed women were enrolled through advertisements on campus.They were scanned under functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) when they watched emotional neutral films excepts and erotic films excepts.Statistic on theses data reveals the difference of brain activation.Result:The results showed that,compared to emotional neutral films,sexual visual stimuli were associated with the activation of a set of bilateral brain areas including lateral occipital cortex,postcentral gyrus,superior parietal lobule,occipital fusiform gyrus, hippocampus,and so on.Most activated brain areas are bilateral.Only in inferior frontal gyrus pars opercularis(Z=3.64,P<0.0001) and pars triangular(Z=3.42,P=0.003) there were significant right hemispheric activation.Conclusion:fMRI results indicate that inferior frontal gyrus is related to the visual sexual stimuli of women subjects,and is specified on the right hemisphere rather than left one.This sphere-special area may play an important role on sexual message processing.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To apply positive composite training on gynecologic tumor patients for psychological intervention,comparing with the general intervention,and to provide a new way to alleviate physical and psychological symptoms of patients and improve their quality of life.Methods:In Beijing Cancer Hospital,80 surgery and chemotherapy patients with gynecologic tumor were chosen and divided into control group (40 cases,to receive health education and supportive treatment) and intervention group (40 cases,to receive comprehensive training),whose condition and basic situation were matching.After intervention,the scores of Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and Quality of Life Questionnaire- Core 30 (QLQ-C30) were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention,the SCL-90 scores in intervention group (outside terrorist and interpersonal sensitivity factor) were lower than that in control group[such as total score,(1.43±0.34) vs.(1.87±0.43),P<0.001].The scores of physical function,role function,emotional function,cognitive function,and general health in the QLQ-C30 about patients with chemotherapy in intervention group were higher than those in controls[such as general health,(62.50±10.29) vs.(52.50±15.78),P=0.024].And the scores of fatigue,nausea and vomiting,pain,insomnia,appetite loss,constipation,and diarrhea factors were lower than those in control group[such as fatigue,(52.77±16.07) vs.(65.55±20.36),P=0.034].Conclusion:The positive composite training is able to alleviate the physical and mental symptoms and improve their quality of life in gynecologic tumor patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective Under the psychological stress framework,to investigate the changes of psychological stress before and during the IVF treatment,and the effects of psychological factors on IVF outcome. Methods We assessed factors of psychological stress before and during the IVF treatment with PSS,STAI,SDS and MCMQ. Results 324 women completed the questionnaires. The baseline SDS and PSS scores of 25.26?4.944 and 44.41?9.812,respectively were significantly higher than norm scores(P
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the effect of flotation therapy on the attention of undergraduates. Method: Subjects were 53 undergraduates (26 male, 27 female). They were randomly divided into 5 groups. Group 1,2,3 and group 4 were flotation groups and group 5 was control group. Each subject finished four therapies. Visual attention attribution and diversion (T5) and bilateral two- choice reaction time (T8) were used as the indexes. Result: As a whole, the T5 and T8 times of the subjects in the flotation groups were shortened in the course of the therapy. The promotion of attention in the male subjects was better than that in the female subjects. There was no significant difference between the changes of bilateral two-choice reaction time. The promotion in the flotation subjects was significantly better than that in the control subjects and it could not be explained totally by practice effect. Conclusion: The attention of the subjects can be promoted by flotation therapy. This study could not support the assumption that flotation therapy could promote the function of right brain as some prior studies declared.
