Body Image, Risk of Disturbed Eating Attitudes and Weight Control of Female Junior High School Students by the Body Mass Index in Seoul / 대한지역사회영양학회지

OBJECTIVES: In this study, perception of body image, eating attitudes and weight control were examined by the degree of obesity using Body Mass Index (BMI). METHODS: Out of 420 questionnaires distributed to the female middle school students (aged 12-16 years), 407 were returned (97% response rate) and 395 were analyzed (94% analysis rate). Female students were divided into two groups based on the BMI percentile using the 2007 Korean National Growth Charts. (1) normal weight (5 th percentile < or = BMI < 85th percentile) (2) obese (85th percentile < or = BMI) by 2007 Korean National Growth Charts. Satisfaction of self-body shape, risk of disturbed eating attitudes (Eating Attitude Test : EAT-26), and weight control behaviors were examined. RESULTS: Distribution of the subjects by BMI was 74.5% of normal and 25.5% of obese. There were significant differences between self-perceived current body image and self-perceived ideal body image. The dissatisfaction of body image was higher in obese than in normal groups (p < 0.001). 51.4% of female students were unsatisfied with their body image, while 2.6% were very satisfied. Among the students unsatisfied with their body image, 150 (52.1%) were of normal weight and 48 (49.4%) were obese. EAT-26 total scores were significantly higher in the obese group (16.42 +/- 8.23) compared with normal group (13.72 +/- 8.10) (p < 0.01). Attempted to weight control were significantly different by the BMI (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This study concludes that there was desire to become thinner than current status in female students, even those with normal BMI. Many female students were dissatisfied with their body image and attempted to lose weight. It is harmful to their health and nutritional status if they choose undesirable methods. These findings suggested that there are needs to encourage female students for maintaining healthy weight. A higher score of EAT-26 was associated with dissatisfaction of selfbody image and this may lead to unhealthy behaviors in obese female students.

Qual é o estatuto do corpo na psicanálise? / Which status for body within psychoanalysis

Uma questão se impõe a partir do trabalho analítico com pacientes que apresentam manifestações somáticas diversas: existiria uma psicologia própria às doenças ou manifestações somáticas? Muitas vezes, o corpo e suas manifestações são compreendidos a partir de noções como: imagem do corpo, imagem inconsciente do corpo, pacientes psicossomáticos, manifestações psicossomáticas, ou fenômenos psicossomáticos, enfim, uma inflação de noções que nos distanciam da proposta freudiana. Esta confusão não data de hoje: no seio da teorização psicanalítica, o corpo foi objeto de numerosos debates e divergências teóricas. Este texto constituiu uma reabertura a estes debates em torno das questões corporais.

One main question emerges while working with patients presenting diverse so matic symptoms: does it exist a specific psychological approach for somatic diseases? Often, somatic symptoms are understood with notions like: body image, body uncons cious image, psychosomatic patients, psychosomatic manifestations, or psychosomatic phenomenon. In other words, many different notions keeping us away from Freud's proposition on the interpretation of body symptoms. This confusion is quite old: within psychoanalytic theory construction, the body was at the origin of various theoretical debates and divergences. This text constitutes a re-opening of those debates around body questions.

Experiment of turning scleral flap of self-body over drainage in trabeculectomy of glaucoma / 眼科新进展

Objective　To investigate the effect of turning scleral flap of self-body over drainage in trabeculectomy.Methods　The surgery was performed on one eye of a rabbit while　the other eye of the same rabbit was conducted with the routine trabeculectomy as the control group. The filtering bleb, intraocular pressure and pathology were observed. Results　The intraocular pressure in the experimental eye was much lower than that in the control group 3～12 weeks after the operations (P＜0.05).As it was within 2 weeks after the surgeries, but there was no significant filtering difference (P＞0.05).The rate of eyes with functional bleb in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group at the postoperative 2～7 weeks .Conclusion　This study suggests the turning of self-body over drainage surgery can help to maintain filtering function for a long time and to prevent complication after filtering surgery.
