Clinical characteristics of the obsessive-compulsive disorder patients with hoarding symptoms / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

Objective • To explore the clinical characteristics of the obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients with hoarding symptoms and analyze the risk factors related to hoarding symptoms. Methods • A total of 247 OCD patients and 137 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled. The OCD patients were divided into hoarding group and non-hoarding group according to hoarding symptoms. Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Neuroticism Extraversion Openness Five-Factor Inventory and Obsessive Belief Questionnaire-44 were used to measure the severity of OCD, levels of depression and anxiety, personality characteristics and obsessive-compulsive beliefs of the three groups. The differences among the groups were compared, and Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of hoarding symptoms. Results • Regardless of hoarding symptoms, the scores of depression, anxiety, neuroticism and obsessive beliefs in the patients with OCD were significantly higher than those in the healthy controls (all P=0.000). Compared with OCD/non-hoarding group, OCD/hoarding group had a significantly lower level of extroversion (P=0.000), a significantly higher level of perfectionism/certainty (P=0.037), and higher scores in indecisiveness (P=0.003), pathological responsibility (P=0.006) and pathological slowness (P=0.000). There was statistical significance in age (OR=0.94), extraversion score (OR=0.89) and pathological retardation score (OR=2.50) in Logistic regression model (all P<0.05). Conclusion • The risk of hoarding symptoms in the OCD patients decreases with the increase of age and extroversion level, and increases with the increase of pathological retardation level.

Este artículo es fruto de estudios del proyecto de extensión "El patio alli de casa" y pretende discutir el papel de la cultura en la promoción de la vida humana. A partir de la investigação bibliográfica de diversos autores que sustentan diferentes significados para patios, fiestas y comunidades, este estúdio reflexiona sobre el desarrollo de estas expresiones de la cultura a lo largo de la historia. El pátio, o el espacio atrás de la edificación de la casa, era considerado por varias culturas, un lugar íntimo, situado en el espacio privado, era el espacio público familiar. Era en este patio donde las personas podian llorar y cantar de alegria y de tristeza, rezar enfrentando dios y el diablo y, también, confabular, jugar y festejar desde su valor de "alimentar en la fuente primordial" hasta el sentido de fiesta entendido hoy - para el mundo occidental - el cual heredamos por fuerza de la colonização.

Neuropsychological Correlates for Obsessive Slowness.

Aim : To assess the cognitive functioning of a group of patients with OCD and a group of matched normal controls. Method : Patients of OCD were screened for selection criteria. They were assessed on Wisconson Card Sorting Test (WCST) and Continuous Performance Test (CPT) for neuro-cognitive impairments and compared the same with matched controls. Conclusions : On WCST, clinical group performed poorly, which is statistically significant. On CPT, the patient groups made significantly more wrong responses, more missed responses and took more time to respond, which is statistically significant.
