Résumé
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with oral paroxetine in the treatment of older adult patients with severe depression and its effects on the scores of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Activities of Daily Living (ADL).Methods:A total of 192 older adult patients with severe depression who received treatment in Shaoxing 7 th People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either oral paroxetine (control group, n = 96) or rTMS + oral paroxetine (observation group, n = 96). All patients received 1 month of treatment. Clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups. HAMD, MMSE, and ADL scores pre- and post-treatment and the incidence of adverse events during the treatment were compared between the two groups. Results:Total response rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group [96.88% (93/96) vs. 89.58% (86/96), χ2 = 4.04, P < 0.05]. HAMD scores post-treatment were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group [(6.43 ± 2.33) points vs. (11.32 ± 2.02) points, t = 15.53, P < 0.05]. MMSE and ADL scores post-treatment in the observation group were (29.13 ± 3.01) points and (71.52 ± 5.32) points, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(24.65 ± 2.79) points, (69.65 ± 5.17) points, t = 10.69, 2.47, P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:The combined therapy of rTMS and oral paroxetine is highly effective on severe depression in older adult patients. It can improve cognitive function and the activities of life living.
Résumé
A total of 105 patients with first-episode schizophrenia (male =51,female =54) and 99 normal controls (male =51,female =48) were included into this retrospective case-control study.Childhood trauma questionnaire-28 item short form (CTQ-SF) was used to assess the experience of childhood abuse.The result of binary logistic regression showed that emotional abuse (β =0.630,P ＜ 0.05) and emotional neglect(β =0.270,P ＜ 0.05) were included into the final model of predicting schizophrenia.It indicates that patients with first-episode schizophrenia experienced more early life stress than controls.Particularly emotional abuse and emotional neglect may play important roles in the onset of schizophrenia.
Résumé
Objective To explore the effect of application of continue performance test (CPT) in screening of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder( ADHD ). Methods Thirty-five children with ADHD and65 normal children had been applied with CPT and Conner questionnaire test. Used rank sum test to examine the outcome, established receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, analyzed the most valuable index among various data, formulated abnormal critical value, and carried on a consistency check between CPT screening outcome and clinical diagnosis outcome. Results Each CPT index of 35 children with ADHD was obviously higher than those of normal children(P＜ 0.05 ). Most indexes' area under the ROC curve exceeded 0.7, reactive time of VST was the highest among each index which achieved 0.915. It was high conformity between CPT screening outcome and clinical diagnosis outcome (Kappa = 0.935 ). Conclusion CPT can be applied in ADHD screening.
Résumé
Objective To evaluate the preventive effect of auricular therapy in schizophrenia pa-tients with constipation. Methods 200 psychotic inpatients with anti-psychotic medication were random-ly divided into the intervention group and the control group with 100 cases in each group. The intervention group received conventional therapy combined with auricular therapy while the control group adopted only conventional therapy. The incidence of constipation was observed in the two groups. Results The rate of constipation was 11.34% and 36.73% in the intervention group and the control group, respectively. Auricu-lar therapy showed various effect in constipation caused by different drugs, especially for constipation caused by clozapine, chlorpromazine and pentiapine. Conclusions Auricular therapy showed good effect in preventing constipation induced by antipsychotic drags with less pain and adverse effect, easy and safe to operate, besides, it can improve the medication compliance of patients and promote their rehabilitation.
Résumé
Objective To explore the condition and the related risk factors for attention function damage in patients with mild Alzheimer'S disease(AD). Methods Continuous performance test (CPT)was performed in 100 healthy elder people and in 68 patients with mild AD before treatment and after 8 weeks'treatment.Mini-mental state examination(MMSE)and behavioral pathology in Alzheimer's disease rating scale(BEHAVE-AD)were used to assess the disease.Regression analysis was also used in this study. Resuits The omission rate,mistake rate,reaction time and coefficient of variation of most iterns(visual one objective continuous ear continuous performance test,VOT;visual successive objective objective continuous performance test,VST;ear continuous performance test,ET)of CPT inpatients with AD were abnormal,even after 8 weeks'treatment.These parameters were improved after 8 weeks'treatment although they were higher than those in control group.The parameters before treatment had correlation with the course of disease and the behavior and psychological symptoms of dementia(BPSD). Conclusions Attention function damage in patients with AD is wide and severe,and the parameters of CPT before treatment are correlated with the course'of disease and BPSD.
Résumé
Objective: To study alcohol related attention damage and factors having influence on it. Method: 39 inpatients with alcohol dependence were examined with Continuously Performance Test (CPT) before and after 6 weeks treatment. 45 normal staffs were collected as control. Results: The index of CPT in patient group at baseline was higher than that of normal control. After 6 weeks treatment, the above index declined but was still higher than control. The CPT results before treatment were related to plasma level of alcohol when admitted, age and history of alcohol use. Conclusion: Alcohol dose damage to the attention of patients in dependence.
