@# ObjectiveTo analyze the outcome of psychiatric prevention and therapy program in the community in Huicheng District,Huizhou city.MethodsThe variables of supervision rate,improvement rate,society participation rate,disturbance creating rate of violence,the mean recurrence frequency in one year and hospitalization rate,etc.were observed in psychiatric patients pre-and post initiation of the program as the model of socialization,complexity,accessibility.Results3 years after carrying out the program in Huicheng District of Huizhou city,the supervision rate,improvement rate,society participation rate of psychiatric patients have significantly increased,and the disturbance creating rate of violence,the mean recurrence frequency in one year and hospitalization rate have substantially decreased.ConclusionThe psychiatric prevention and therapy program in the community in Huicheng District,Huizhou city has been shown to be an effective way for psychiatric intervention.
RESUMO
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by degeneration of anterior horn cells of the spinal cord. The survival motor neuron gene is SMA-determining gene deleted in approximately 95% of SMA patients. This study was undertaken to predict prenatal SMA efficiently and rapidly in families with previously affected child.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Prenatal diagnosis was made in 8 fetuses with a family history of SMA. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) were used for the detection of the survival motor neuron gene.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The survival motor neuron gene was not found in 6 fetuses, ruling out the diagnosis of SMA. Two fetuses were detected positive and the pregnancies were terminated.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Our method is effective and convenient in prenatal diagnosis of SMA.</p>
