Risk Factors for Difficult Sedation-free Colonoscopy / 胃肠病学

Background: Colonoscopy has been widely applied in clinic because of its value in screening, diagnosis and treatment of colorectal diseases. Discomfort and pain account for a great part of incomplete intubation during sedation-free colonoscopy. Aims: To identify the predictive factors for difficult sedation-free colonoscopy. Methods: Patients aged 18-80 years old undergone sedation-free colonoscopy at the Tenth People's Hospital of Tongji University from January to December in 2017 were enrolled. The clinical data and medical history were collected. Each patient completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) with the help of nurse before colonoscopy. Sedation-free colonoscopy was performed by experienced endoscopist. The Ottawa bowel preparation scale and Visual Analog Scale were used to evaluate the quality of bowel cleansing and pain during the procedure. Results: The total cecum intubation rate was 97.1% (198/204), and 192 patients completing the EPQ were enrolled for analyses. Twenty-four patients had a difficult colonoscopy (intubation time prolonged to >10 min). By univariate analysis, gender, age, body mass index (BMI), history of surgery, pain level and score of Extraversion-Introversion Scale of EPQ (EPQ-E) were associated with difficulty during colonoscopy (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that history of pelvic surgery was a risk factor for difficult colonoscopy (OR=6.833, 95% CI: 2.396-19.488, P<0.001), whereas overweight (OR=0.190, 95% CI: 0.038-0.962, P=0.045) and score of EPQ-E ranged from 8-15 (OR=0.367, 95% CI: 0.150-0.896, P=0.028) were protective factors. Conclusions: History of pelvic surgery, lower BMI and extraversion or introversion personality may increase the difficulty during sedation-free colonoscopy. EPQ-E might be used for selecting candidates of sedation-free colonoscopy when it is performed by an inexperienced endoscopist.

Correlation between social psychology and personality characteristics and treatment options for adult patients with skeletal malocclusion / 华西口腔医学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#This study aims to explore factors affecting the dental aesthetic social psychology of patients with skeletal malocclusion and to measure the relationship between the objective orthodontic requirements and the subjective treatment requirements of patients. This work provides a reference for doctors to measure patients' orthodontic treatment needs.@*METHODS@#Adult patients with skeletal malocclusion were chosen as the research object. Questionnaire survey was used to analyze factors influencing the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics questionnaire (PIDAQ), index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN), and Eysenck personality questionnaire-revised short scale for Chinese (EPQ-RSC). The relationship among PIDAQ, IOTN, EPQ-RSC, and treatment options was also evaluated.@*RESULTS@#Seventy-two valid questionnaires were collected from adult patients with skeletal malocclusion. 1) The PIDAQ scores significantly differed among different occupations (P0.05). People with low educational level were more likely to receive surgery if their psychosocial impacts of dental aes-thetics were serious. 5) The score of psychoticism scale of EPQ-RSC and the educa-tional level had a mutual influence on the PIDAQ score (P<0.01). Moreover, the neuroticism scale and AC self-assessment scores had a mutual influence on the PIDAQ score (P<0.05). However, this study did not find a correlation between personality traits and treatment options.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Many factors, such as personal natural conditions, subjective aesthetic evaluation of teeth, and psychosocial impacts of dental aesthetics, affect patients' treatment options. Personality characteristics can play a certain role in dental aesthetics social psychology.

Tabaquismo: su relación con personalidad y variables sociales / Smoking, their relationship to personality and social variables

El tabaquismo es una enfermedad adictiva y crónica la cual se ha asociado a distintos factores. El objetivo fue investigar la asociación entre las características de la personalidad con la condición tabáquica usando el cuestionario de personalidad de Eysenck (EPQ-R) y evaluar las condiciones sociales del individuo y de su entorno que se asocian en esta patología. Se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico y de corte transversal mediante una encuesta auto administrada a 205 personas, hombres y mujeres con una edad promedio de 46 años. Desarrollado en la provincia de Mendoza, Argentina periodo 2013-2015. En nuestras conclusiones destacamos una asociación dentro de las variables sociales entre el nivel de escolaridad más bajo, si fumaba el padre, si fumaban los amigos en la infancia/adolescencia y además si tenían muchos amigos en la infancia con el tabaquismo. Al evaluar los rasgos de la personalidad observamos un mayor número de personas que probaron marihuana con niveles más altos en neuroticismo y en las escalas de mentira. Las personas fumadoras con rasgos de extroversión altos tenían muchos amigos fumadores en la infancia. Analizando la condición tabáquica con personalidad encontramos niveles más altos en neuroticismo en los tabaquistas. Creemos muy importante identificar los rasgos de la personalidad en nuestras poblaciones a fin de definir mejor su implicancia en el comportamiento normal y anormal de la sociedad. Conocer e identificar estas variables predictoras del inicio y mantenimiento del tabaquismo, ayudaría a mejorar las estrategias preventivas y de tratamiento de esta enfermedad pudiendo ser otra herramienta valiosa para tratar esta patología.

Cigarette smoking is an addictive and chronic disease that has been associated to various factors. The objective was to investigate the association between personality characters with a smoking condition using the Eysenck questionnaire (EPQ-R) and to evaluate the social variables that influence this pathology. A descriptive and transversal observational study was performed through a self-administered survey that involved 205 people, men and women with an average of 46 years of age. Realized in the province of Mendoza Argentina during the period of 2013-2015. In our conclusion we wish to outstand within the social variable, an association with the low level of education, if a parent smoked and having friends in their childhood and teenage years related with smoking. When personality features were evaluated, we observed a greater number of people who had tried marihuana with higher levels of neuroticism and in the lying scales. People who smoked, who had high extroversion features, had many smoking friends in their childhood. Analyzing the smoking condition with personality, we found higher levels of neuroticism in actual smokers. We believe it to be very important to identify the personality features in our population, in able to identify its implication in the normal or abnormal behavior of society. Being able to know and identify these predictable variables associated with the initiation and maintained smoking habit, would help better prevention strategies and treatment of this disease, it would be another valuable tool to treat this pathology.

Personality Characteristics of Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Simple Snoring : A Preliminary Study / 수면정신생리

OBJECTIVE: Few studies have evaluated the personality characteristics of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and simple snoring. We investigated the personality characteristics of OSA and simple snoring patients and compared differences in personality between the two groups using the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and thirty-seven patients who were suspected to have OSA or simple snoring participated in this study. A self-questionnaire which included the EPQ was administered to all participants. All subjects underwent polysomnography in a sleep laboratory and those with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) > or =5 were included in the OSA group, while those with an AHI <5 were included in the simple snoring group. RESULTS: OSA patients had significantly lower scores for Psychoticism (F=4.563, p=0.034) than simple snorers. There were no significant differences in Extraversion (F=3.029, p=0.083), Lie (F=0.398, p=0.529), or Neuroticism (F=3.367, p=0.068) scores between the two groups. In the correlation analysis of the OSA group, AHI was positively correlated with Extraversion score (r=0.16, p=0.029) and negatively correlated with Lie score (B=-0.31, p<0.001). Using multiple stepwise linear regression analysis with the four EPQ parameter scores as dependent variables, Lie score was associated with older age (B=0.14, p<0.001) and lower AHI (B=-0.05, p<0.001), Psychoticism score was associated with higher Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI ; B=0.14, p<0.001), Neuroticism score was associated with higher PSQI (B=0.34, p=0.001) and female sex (B=3.15, p=0.003), and Extraversion score was associated with younger age (B=-0.08, p=0.020) and higher body mass index (B=0.26, p=0.023). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that patients with OSA are significantly less prone to psychotic personality characteristics than those with simple snoring. Among OSA patients, higher AHI was correlated with low falsehood and high extraversion tendencies.

A Study of the Personality of Adult Patients with Atopic Dermatitis / 대한피부과학회지

BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis will persist into adult life and chronic severe atopic dermatitis may cause significant interference in social interaction. Despite the controversy concerning the existence of specific personality exhibited by patients with atopic dermatitis, psychological and social factors have long been considered important factors that have influence on the course of the disease. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the charateristics of the personalities of adult patients with atopic dermatitis and their relationship to psychological factors and clinical characteristics. METHODS: Eysenck Personahty Questionnaire(EPQ) was carried out on 54 adult patients with atopic dermatitis. Using the EPQ scores, a cluster analysis was done to identify the subgroup of psychologically disabled patients. The psychological and social aspects of the identified patients were then investigated using a designed questionnaire. RESULTS: 1. A cluster analysis identified two patient subgroups. Psychoticism(P), extroversion-introversion(E), and neuroticism(N) scores were significantly different between the subgroups. The neuroticism scores were above the upper limit of the normal range in the higher EPQ scored subgroups. However, the total clinical severity score which was evaluated in 25 patients showed no significant difference between these subgroups. 2. The higher psychoticism, extroversion-introversion, and neuroticism scored patients tended to express severe disability due to atopic dermatitis and a high level of stress which was evaluated by the designed questionnaire. CONCLUSION: Eysenck personality questionnaire can be helpful in identifying a subgroup of patients who may need psychiatric intervention.
