ABSTRACT
Objective:To translate the Attention to Positive and Negative Inventory(APNI)and analyze the validity and reliability in Chinese undergraduates sample,to offer a convenient and reliable tool of measuring the cognitive bias for national researchers. Methods:The English-version APNI went through translation into Chinese, retroversion into English,translation into Chinese again,and revision several stages. Two parts of samples (1450 Chinese college students)were surveyed. Sample one (n=1000)was used for item analysis,exploratory factor a-nalysis (EFA),concurrent validity and reliability analysis,while sample 2 (n=450)was used for confirmatory fac-tor analysis (CFA). Totally 68 subjects of sample 1 were randomly chosen and resurveyed with an interval of one week. Beck depression inventory (BDI-II)and patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9)was used for concurrent validi-ty. Results:Item analysis indicated that the 22 items of Chinese APNI had good discriminability. EFA focused onattention to positive information(API)and attention to negative information(ANI)two factors. CFA showed good model fit (χ2 =1376,RMESA=0. 09,CFI=0. 94). Concurrent validity result showed that the total scores of BDI-II and PHQ-9 was negatively correlated with total scores of API (r=-0. 24,-0. 29,Ps<0. 01 ),and posi-tively correlated with total scores of ANI (r=0. 36,0. 31,Ps<0. 01). The Cronbach'αcoefficients of API and ANI sub-scale were 0. 86 and 0. 82,while the retest reliability coefficients were 0. 79 and 0. 62. Conclusion:It suggests that the Chinese APNI has good validity and reliability in a sample of college students,which could be used to eval-uate the cognitive bias of Chinese college students.
ABSTRACT
Objective To improve the set up accuracy for patients by MED TEC thermoplastic sheet. Methods First, a reference positioning line was scored on the supporting board of MEC TEC. Then, lines on the patient body were marked according to the reference positioning line. After fastening MED TEC thermoplastic sheet, CT top view imagines of patients who were immobilized with MED TEC thermoplastics sheet on the CT scanner were then drawn. The results by PC graphics software were analysed. Results A total of 57 cases was studied. Deviation in 52 (91.2%) cases was less than 3?mm. The cause of the with deviation exceeding 5?mm were all found.Conclusion Using the right method is very important. Thus, results with satisfactory deviations could be obtained when the set up are repeated.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of chrysalis oil on blood glucose and oxidative stress in diabetic rats induced by Streptozotocin (STZ).Method Sixty male SD rats were divided into 6 groups according to blood glucose:normal group,diabetic control group,high,medium,low dose (7.5,6.0,4.5ml/kg bw.) chrysalis oil groups and positive control group.Food and fluid intake were monitored every day.blood glucose and body weight were measured at each weekend,and at the end of experiment,glycosylated serum protein (GSP) was tested,and the effect of chrysalis oil on the content of malondialdehyde (MDA),reduced glutathione (GSH),total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in liver and pancreas were observed.Results (1) Diabetic symptoms were ameliorated and blood glucose and GSP were all lowered in therapeutic groups compared with diabetic control group,whereas,high dose chrysalis oil group had the same effect as positive control group.(2) In diabetic groups treated with chrysalis oil,the activity of GSH and T-AOC were significantly increased and the content of MDA decreased compared with diabetic control group.Conclusion Chrysalis oil could decrease blood glucose in a dose-and-effect relationship and improve antioxidant capacity.
