ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the electronic physiological mechanism of Low Resistance Thought Induction Psychotherapy (TIP) on depression.Methods 48 patients with depression were randomly divided into TIP group and Citalopram group.The observation period was 6 months.The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HAMD) was used to evaluate the efficacy,and Polysomnogram(PSG)was used to evaluate the electronic physiological mechanism.Results TIP had efficacy on reducing numbers of wake [before treatment (3.92±3.24),after treatment (2.38± 1.21),P＜0.05]、REM time [before treatment (86.75 ±28.29),after treatment (63.19±28.11),P＜0.01]、REM％ [before treatment (23.89±6.84),after treatment (16.16±6.36),P＜0.01].Citalopram had efficacy on increasing Sleep time [before treatment (350.52±50.71),after treatment (388.58±43.89),P＜0.01]、number of REM [before treatment (3.71±2.87),after treatment (5.17±5.58),P＜0.05]、S3+4 [before treatment (35.79±32.76),after treatment (56.77±34.21),P ＜0.05]、S3 +4％ [before treatment (10.13 ± 9.20),after treatment (14.53 ± 8.66),P＜0.05]、REM time [before treatment (66.39±29.22),after treatment(78.61 ±30.19),P＜0.05].TIP had superior to Citaloprarn on regulating numbers of wake and REM time.Conclusions Electronic physiological mechanism of TIP treating depression is to regulat numbers of wake,REM time,REM％.
ABSTRACT
There are many discussions and researches on the positive role of security and negative role of insecurity. However, from the view of biology and evolution, insecurity should be exist when people were born. It makes human to think, then produce relevant behaviors. Just these thinking and behaviors produce culture, maintain psychological individual balance and realize personal value.

ABSTRACT
Objective This study targeted on 298 newly employed staff in Guang'anmen Hospital,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences,who had finished the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI).A retrospective study has been approached to investigate the mental states of the new employers in the Chinese comprehensive hospital.Methods SPSS statistics software 11.5 was used to do descriptive statistical analysis.Results Scores of all factors show no difference compared to the various norm groups studied.Most of the new employers represent calm and gentle personalities.They are confident,optimistic,independent,gentle,kind,decent,rational and objective,have self-control and self-discipline,barely have no doubt about their physical health,trust others; they are mature,able to maintain good interpersonal relationships and to adapt external pressure; they do not harm themselves psychologically; they are calm,stable and pragmatic.Conclusion Subjects are somehow over reporting or exaggerating the prevalence of being nice,which could be subconscious or intentional.However,this does not have impacts on reliability and validity.MMPI is a relatively comprehensive psychometric scale for employment.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the characteristics of polysomnography (PSG) of depressed patients and the correlation between rapid eye movement (REM) and severity degree of depression. Methods Polysomnography was used to assess patients'sleep condition and Montgomery-Asberg depression scale (MADRS) was used to assess the severity degree of depression. 90 patients and 30 healthy controls were included. Results Compared to healthy controls,sleep progress of depressed patients changed as follow:prolonged sleep latency((25.2 ±15.25) minutes) ,lowered sleep efficiency(0.853 ±0.11) ;the architecture of sleep also changed:percentage of stage 1 increased( (27.7 ± 16.38) % ),percentage of REM sleep increased( (22. 8 ± 6. 1 ) % ) , percentage of stage 2 decreased ((40.2±11.3)%), percentage of slow wave sleep decreased ((11.8 ±9. 32)%); REM sleep significantly changed; decreased REM latency((79. 27 ±30. 44) minutes) , increased REM activity((129. 0 ±53. 12) u) .increased intensity of REM((36.7 ±14.0)u/min), increased REM density((159.2 ±57.2)u/min) were observed in depressed patients. There was no obvious correlation between the variance of REM and severity degree of depression. Conclusion There are a series of changes in sleep progress, architecture and REM sleep of depression and the change of REM sleep can be specified to diagnose depression. However,there is no causality between REM variance and severity of depression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To introduce cause-tracing technique in the static state of Qigong to enrich modem clinic psychotherapy. Methods Based on previous therapeutic experience, we reduced resistance from patients through interview.Then the cause of diseases was detected by analyzing implicit memory. Results Cause-tracing technique in the static state of Qigong could get important relevant information by excavating implicit memory. It was a cause-tracing method characterized by low-resistance and high-speed. Conclusion Cause-tracing technique in the static state of Qigong had great clinical value.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study and analyze clinical manifestation of depression in comprehensive hospitals in China.Methods Retrospective study was performed.3322 objects included in this research were measured by Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI).Results In Chinese comprehensive hospitals,the most common accompanying symptoms of depression were anxiety,fatigue,suicide inclination,apprehension,somatic discomfort,impotence or asexuality,hypochondriasis,somato-complaints,insomnia,self-accusmion and self-reproach,sense of dependence and so on.Depression was positively correlated with suicide risks,self-accusation,delusion of self-accusation,somatic discomfort,somato-complaints,impotence and asexuality,insomnia,headache,fatigue,apprehension,and family problems.Depression had negative correlations with self-strength,social status and economic status.The results had statistical significance.Conclusion Decreased self-strength,increased sense of dependence,low social status and economic status and family problems were the most common pathogenesis basis for depression.Depression can be manifested as various somatic disorders,especially insomnia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence and severity degree of post traumatic stress disorder(PTSD), anxiety and depression, and to explore the different mental profile in different groups involved with an earthquake. Methods 26 days after 8.0 grade earthquake in Wenchuan, psychological rescue team of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine went to some communities in Deyang and Mianzhu area of Sichuan province. In this period, a total of 119 survivors, including students(42), teacher(40) and masses(37), were investigated through impact of event scale (IES), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS). Results①The detection rate of score over 19 in IES in 3 groups (students, teacher and masses) were 69％, 80％ and 91.9％, respectively. There was significant difference among these 3 groups (F=5.611, P=0.005<0.01) in respect of severity degree of PTSD. ②The values of severity degree of anxiety in 3 groups were significant higher than normal value (P<0.001, all). There was also significant difference among these 3 groups (F=3.376, P=0.038<0.05) in respect of severity degree of anxiety, with the masses group being significant higher than student and teacher group (P=0.029, P=0.022, respectively). ③The values of severity degree of depression in these 3 groups were significant higher than normal value (P<0.05, all). But there was no significant difference (F= 0.670, P=0.514) among these 3 groups. ConclusionThe results suggested the importance to assess PTSD, anxiety and depression in post-disaster area, especially PTSD and anxiety evaluations in the masses group.

ABSTRACT
"Postpartum Body pain"refers to such symptoms as body pain,numbness,heaviness,arthralgia and even paralysis in a woman during the postpartum period.Besides the above symptoms,the patient may also have other symptoms like sleep disorder,emotional hindrance,somatization symptoms such as fatigue,sleepy,and chest distress,etc.This disease may be considered as somatization symptoms due to postpartum depression,but actually it is a psychogenic disorder.Clinical observation showed there were no clinical changes of objective signs such as red,swelling and fever;Laboratory examinations showed there was no ahnormal manifestation.This article primarily discussed"postpagtum body pain"from medicopsychological angle,hoping to help people get a right recognition of this disease.
