ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate adolescents’ self-esteem and explore its influencing factors in order to provide basic evidence for improving self-esteem level and mental health of adolescents.@*Methods@#A total of 5 709 adolescents of different characteristics from both urban and rural areas in six provinces were investigated anonymously with the method of computer-assisted self-interview (CASI). Self-esteem was evaluated by Self-Esteem Scale (SES, scored 10-40 points).@*Results@#The average score of self-esteem was 28.15,28.40, 28.97 and 27.45 point for junior high students, senior high students, college students and out-of-school adolescents, respectively. The difference of the scores among the four groups was statistically significant(F=27.64, 14.41, P<0.01). More than 80% adolescents felt they were people of worth, were able to do things as most other people, took a positive attitude toward themselves and were satisfied with themselves. About 50% of adolescents thought they were no good at all at times. Less than 20% adolescents thought they had enough respect for themselves. About 11.57% to 22.22% of adolescents felt sad about their own gender, about 37.56% to 61.49% of adolescents often or sometimes felt sad about their body image. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that those who had a good overall feeling of family, satisfied with their own gender, and less worried about their body image tended to have a higher self-esteem scores among 4 groups(P<0.01). Other related influencing factors included parental education level, family economic status, only-child or not, birth place and parental preference for gender of their child.@*Conclusion@#Adolescents’ self-esteem was fair, and many factors were associated with it. It is necessary to strengthen the education on gender equality among parents and adolescents and to pay more attention to mental health of the adolescents, who were in rural areas, with poor family atmosphere and economic status.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate and study the relationship between abnormal monitoring and prognosis of long range video electroencephalogram(VEEG)in patients with intractable epilepsy. Methods 100 patients from March 2012 to May 2017 in our hospital whose diagnosis and treatment of refractory epilepsy were the research object,all patients were given VEEG monitoring records,epilepsy typing characteristics and antiepileptic drug(AEDs)use survey,prognosis of all patients and the correlation analysis. In 100 cases,GTCS 60 cases,CPS 30 cases,CPS-GTCS 10 cases;56 cases treated with sodium valproate,lamotrigine treatment in 44 cases. Results VEEG monitored 80 cases of epileptiform discharge in 100 patients and 20 cases without epileptiform discharge. There was no significant difference in the incidence of epileptiform discharges between different epileptic patients in VEEG monitoring(P > 0.05),and there was no significant difference in the incidence of epileptiform discharges between VEEG patients in different medication groups(P > 0.05). The total effective rate of treatment in the VEEG epileptiform discharge group was 91.3%,which was significantly lower than that of the VEEG non epileptic discharge group (100%,P < 0.05). The main adverse reactions during treatment were drowsiness , abnormal behavior, abnormal sensation and gastrointestinal reaction. There was no significant difference in monitoring epileptiform discharges between VEEG patients (P > 0.05). All adverse reactions were improved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion The VEEG plays an important role in guiding the patients with refractory epilepsy for epilepsy typing characteristics and AEDs treatment ,so it has significant correlation to the prognosis , and it also has an important significance in assessing the prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the pathogenesis and the effect of early drugs therapy of symptoms after concussion.Methods One-hundred and thirteen patients with symptoms after suffered concussion enrolled in the study and divided randomly into three groups.The patients of different groups were treated respectively with drugs,i.e.erigeron breviscapus,nimodipine,energy mixture.Symptom Check-List 90 ( SCL-90 ) and electroencephalogram(EEG) and cerebral blood flow of trancranial Doppler(TCD) were examined in the early and late stage of post-concussion.Normal population were recruited as control.All examination results and the effect of treatment were compared between treatment group and control group.Results In the scores of SCL-90,the factor scores of somatization symptom,compulsion,depressive disorder,anxiety disorders,and hostile symptom in 113 post-concussion patients in early stage were all higher than those in the normal( t =10.78,2.08,9.53,11.09 and 2.52,P ＜0.01or P ＜0.05),and as well as that of somatization symptom,depressive disorder,anxiety disorders,terror and mental disorder symptom in 12 post-concussion patients in late stage compared to normal( t =3.21,6.85,3.07,3.14 and 4.73,Ps ＜ 0.01 ).The test of EEG was abnormal in 57.4 ％ of patients in early stage and in 33.3％ in the late stage.Of all TCD results,67.0 ％ was abnormal in the early stage and 25.0％ in the late stage,The disappearance rate of post-concussion symptoms in the 14th day was significantly higher in the erigeron breviscapus group ( 45.0％ ) than in the nimodipine group ( 23.7％ ) ( x2 =3.91,P ＜0.05 ) and in the energy mixture group ( 20.0％ ) ( x2 =5.25,P ＜ 0.05 ).The disappearance rate of postconcussion symptoms in the 30th day in the energy mixture group(40.0％ ) was significantly lower than those in nimodipine group( 68.4％ )( x2 =5.94,P ＜ 0.05 ) and in erigeron breviscapus group( 75.0％ )( x2 =9.43,P ＜ 0.01 ).The occurrence rate of post-concussion sequelae was higher in the energy mixture group ( 22.9％ )than in the nimodipine group ( 5.2％ ) ( x2 =4.77,P ＜ 0.05 ) and in the erigeron breviscapus group (5.0％ )( x2 =5.15,P ＜ 0.05 ) three month after injuries.Conclusion The occurrence of symptoms originated from the organic damage of brain tissue.However,its changes were influenced by psychologic factors after concussion.Early vasodilative drugs therapy could improve the recovery of patients with post-concussion symptoms in time and decrease the occurrence of post-concussion sequelae.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the curative effects of malignant brain swelling after brain injury by using the operations of standard large Craniotomy decompression and removal of necrotic brain tissues. Methods 80 cases of malignant brain swelling after severe brain injury were observed. The standard decompression surgery of large era-niotomy routine were used in 40 cases,while the operations of standard large craniotomy decompression and removal of necrotic brain tissues were used in the other 40 cases. The curative effects of the results after 15 days and six mon-ths were analyzed. Results The incidence of intracranial hypertension (37.5%, 15/40 ) and brain tissue incisional hernia (32.5% ,13/40)of the group using standard large craniotomy decompression and removal of nee-rotic brain tissues treatment was significantly lower than that of simple standard large craniotomy decompression treat-ment group [15.0% (6/40) vs 10.0% (4/40)] after 15 days (P<0.05 ). The prognosis excellent rate ( good + re-sidual) of the group using standard large Craniotomy decompression and removal of necrotic brain tissues treatment was significantly higher (60.0%) than that of simple standard large craniotomy decompression treatment group (40.0%) after six months (P<0.05 ). Conclusion The operations of standard large craniotomy decompression and removal of necrotic brain tissues can effectively reduce the intracranial hypertension of malignant brain swelling after trauma injury,and reduce mortality and morbidity of severe brain injury.
