ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of maternal deprivation at different time periods in rat pup development on depressions in adults.Methods Newborn SD rat pups were randomly divided into 5 maternal deprivation groups(n=5 in each group) and one control group (n=7).The rat pups in the maternal deprivation groups were separated from their mother for 6 hours in one day,at p0,p5,p 10,p15,p20 respectively,lasting for five days.Then the rats will be screened for depression at the age of 10 weeks,using different behavioral tests,which included forced swim,coat score,sucrose preference test.Norepinephrine concentration in the cerebral spinal fluid was also measured through high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Results Maternal deprivation for rat pups induced depression like behavior in adults.The floating time during forced swim test increased from(58.5 ±7.5) s in control group to(p0(75.6±9.4) s,p5(150.4±12.5) s,p10(174.5±14.3) s,p15(155.4±11.4)s,p20 (112.4±10.3) s respectively in maternal deprivation groups;and it was significant different among the groups(P＜ 0.01).Compared with the control group(0.87±0.1),the sucrose preference in maternal deprivation groups decreased(p0 (0.73±0.12),p5 (0.53±0.09),p10 (0.5±0.06),p15 (0.54±0.07),p20 (0.67±0.05)).And the coating scores in maternal deprivation groups decreased from 4.5±0.6 in control group to p0(3.3±0.6),p5 (2.3±0.4),p10 (1.9±0.3),p15 (2.4±0.4),p20 (4.4± 0.4).Finally,maternal deprivation also induced low concentration of catecholamine in the cerebral spinal fluid compared with that in control group (p0 (94.5± 11.5) ％,p5 (78.5± 9.6) ％,p10(67.6±±7.4)％,p1S(64.5±6.6)％,p20(88.5±7.5)％,P＜0.01,n=5-7).Conclusion Maternal deprivation at different lactation periods may induce depression behaviors in rat offspring,and also lead to lower concentration of catecholamine in the cerebral spinal fluid.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of narrative therapy on family environment and values in adolescents with emotional disorder.Methods 35 adolescents with emotional disorder and their parents from Affiliated Brain Hospital,Nanjing Medical University were enrolled and treated by narrative therapy.Family environment was assessed using Family Environment Scale-Chinese Version (FES-CV)and was compared between pre-and posttherapy.Results 28 adolescents with emotional disorder and their parents completed therapy.The cohesion,independence,intellectual orientation,active-recreation orientation and organization in FES-CV showed higher scores at post-therapy than at pre-therapy ((6.89 ± 2.56) vs.(4.21 ± 3.21) ; (5.54 ± 1.35) vs.(4.68 ± 1.51) ;(4.75±2.07)vs.(3.50±2.12);(4.07±2.65)vs.(2.50±2.32);(3.68±1.77)vs.(2.50±1.62)respectively).The contradict in FES-CV showed lower scores at post-therapy than at pre-therapy ((2.75 ± 2.44) vs (5.25 ± 2.50)).The values of adolescents with emotional disorder and their parents had a positive change after narrative therapy.Conclusion Narrative therapy is effective on the positive change of FES-CV and values of adolescents with emotional disorder and their parents.
ABSTRACT
There exist a number of medical psychology teaching gaps in the present Chinese medicine institutions including the course nature,teaching content,course construction and what is in line with the requirement of examination outline for professional doctors. By changing medical psychology into the required course,increasing class time,fractionizing teaching content and carrying out case teaching and practice teaching can enhance Chinese medicine graduates’ability to understand and apply the principle of modern psychology and technology.
ABSTRACT
The construction of psychology specialty in medical universities is adapted to the needs of social development and to meet people's growing need for mental health. However,there are some problems in the construction of psychology specialty,such as the difficulty to unify teaching mode,the curriculum dilemma,awkwardness of graduates'employment,which greatly affected the psychology specialty in medical universities. To resolve this dilemma,we propose a clear specialty goals,the establishment of medical colleges for psychology professionals as well as the alternative policy in the present state.
