ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To examine the self-reported scale of brief psychopathological symptoms (SBPS) to detect malingering in forensic psychiatric cases.@*METHODS@#Two hundred and six cases with different types of psychiatric problems were tested by SBPS. All cases were separately evaluated by two experts.@*RESULTS@#About 34.5% cases (71/206) were classified as malingering by the cut-off 13 scores of SBPS. Compared with expert's evaluation, SBPS showed a false negative rate of 19.8% and a false positive rate of 1.7%, respectively, with a total accuracy rate of 90.8%. Cases involved in compensations including working injury and traffic accidence showed the highest rate of malingering (51%).@*CONCLUSION@#SBPS is useful for detecting malingering psychopathological symptoms.

Aim To study the effects of alumina, magnesia,and simethicone tabet on the secretion of gastric acid and pepsin activity in rats.

Results and Conclusion Compared with the control group,alumina, magnesia, and simethicone inhibited gastric acid and increased pH of gastric juice.A significant decrease occurred in pepsin activity after a doses of 180 mg?kg-1 and 600 mg?kg-1 (P
