ABSTRACT
Objectives To discuss mental health of fresh graduate students in China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (hereinafter referred to as our academy); To provide psychological basis for education and management of graduate students.Methods All 2014 fresh graduate students in our academy took psychological test via SCL-90 and comparison was made between this result and normal results of Chinese graduate students.Results The primary psychological problems of graduate students from our academy were shown as obsessive compulsive disorder (14.02%), interpersonal barriers (7.32%), depression (8.54%), and anxiety (5.49%). Among the freshmen, psychological health level of doctor candidates is higher than that of master candidates . Mental health of fresh TCM graduate students is better than that of national college students, with statistical significance (P<0.01). Conclusion Mental health of TCM graduate students is better. There is specificity for TCM students’ mental health maintenance. Therefore, health maintenance for TCM students should make full use of advantages in TCM major.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the serum concentration of adiponectin(apM1)in patients of Han population with type 2 diabetes(T2DM), impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)and normal glucose tolerance(NGT)in Liaoning Province,and explore its correlation with T2DM process. Meth-ods Unrelated 278 subjects in Liaoning Province were enrolled for the study,including 97 newly diagnosed T2DM subjects,88 IGT subjects,and 93 cases with NGT. Serum apM1,fasting and post-glucose load glucose and insulin,blood lipids,blood pressure,calculate HOMA-IR and HOMA-B,height,weight,waist,hips were measured;body mass index(BMI)and waist hip ratio(WHR)were calculated. Three groups were divided into obese overweight and non-obese overweight subgroups with BMI≥25 kg/m2 as the boundary point. Then central and peripheral obesity was distin-guished using WHR(male≥0.90,female≥0.85 as the boundary point). Results Reduced apM1 levels was first observed in obese NGT stage. Accompanied by elevated levels of insulin resistance,apM1 levels showed a gradual decline trend paralleled with the NGT-IGT-T2DM model. Se-rum apM1 in T2DM was significantly lower than that in NGT(P<0.001). Negative correlations were found between apM1 and WHR,fasting plas-ma glucose,HOMA-IR and triglyceride. Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that,HOMA-IR and triglyceride were independent factors for serum apM1 levels. Conclusion Reduced apM1 levels were first appeared in obese NGT stage;apM1 is closely related to insulin resistance and T2DM process. Low level of apM1 can be used as a predictor of early intervention of IGT outcome and T2DM process.
