Analysis of role adaptation and associated factors among college freshmen / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To explore the influencing factors of role adaptation of college freshmen, so as to provide empirical support for developing adaptive education in college.@*Methods@#A cluster sampling method was used to select 3 126 freshmen from six universities of Hefei City and Wuhu City in Anhui Province in October 2022, who were investigated with Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ), Freshmen s Role Adaptability Scale, Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Life Satisfaction Scale. Independent sample t-test and oneway ANOVA were used to compare the scores (caverage score of items) of various variables of college freshmen with different demographic characteristics. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted to analyze the correlation.@*Results@#There were statistically significant differences in scores of psychological capital, resilience, life satisfaction and role adaptation among college freshmen of different origin (large and mediumsized cities: ３.６３± ０.５４，３.７３±０.６４，３.４７±０.８０，３.１４±０.６５；county level city or county seat:３.５７±０.５２，３.６１±０.６３，３.３５±０.７５，３.０９±０.６３；villages and towns:３.５０±０.５０，３.５４±０.５８，３.２３±０.７５，３.０６±０.６０), whether in class committee (yes:３.６３±０.５２，３.６９±０.６０，３.４０± ０.７６ ，３.１８±０.５９； no:３.４３±０.５０，３.４８±０.６４，３.２５±０.７７，２.９３±０.６５), father s education level (junior high school or below:３.５２± ０.５１ ，３.５７±０.６１，３.２７±０.７５，３.０７±０.６１； senior high school or technical secondary school:３.６２±０.５３，３.６８±０.６３，３.４４±０.７８，３.１２±０.６３；junior college or above:３.６８±０.５６，３.７８±０.６４，３.５７±０.８０，３.１９±０.６８)，mother s education level(junior high school or below:３.５３±０.５１，３.５８±０.６１，３.２８±０.７５，３.０６±０.６０；senior high school or technical secondary school:３.６３±０.５５，３.７０±０.６３，３.４８±０.７８，３.１５±０.６６；junior college or above:３.７２±０.５４，３.８６±０.６５，３.６２±０.８３，３.２７±０.７０) ( F / t =11.89,21.89,23.02,3.83；10.08，9.20， 5.20 ，10.63；19.34，20.76，29.52，6.44；22.51，26.79，30.94，13.92， P <0.05). The differences of scores in resilience and role adaptation of different genders (boys:3.66±0.64, 3.12±0.65; girls:3.56±0.59, 3.05±0.58) and in life satisfaction whether being an only child (yes:3.40±0.79; no:3.33±0.76) among college freshmen were statistically significant ( t =4.51, 2.75, 2.35, P <0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that psychological capital, resilience and life satisfaction of college freshmen were positively correlated with role adaptation ( r =0.49, 0.49, 0.36), while psychological capital, resilience and role adaptation were positively correlated ( r =0.60, 0.59) and Psychological capital was positively correlated with resistance ( r =0.81)( P <0.01). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, whether in class committee, psychological capital, resilience and life satisfaction were positively associated with role adaptation among college freshmen ( R 2=0.28, β =0.04, 0.10, 0.23, 0.26, 0.07， P <0.05).@*Conclusions@#Role adaptation of college freshmen is related with psychological capital, resilience and life satisfaction. Schools should strengthen mental health education to promote smooth role transition for college freshmen.

Effects of electromyography biofeedback therapy combined with oxiracetam on peripheral blood heme oxidase-1, soluble apoptotic molecules and cognitive function in patients with senile vascular dementia / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective:To explore the effect of electromyography biofeedback therapy combined with oxiracetam on peripheral blood heme oxidase-1 (HO-1), soluble apoptotic molecules and cognitive function in patients with senile vascular dementia (VaD).Methods:One hundred and fourteen elderly patients with VaD from May 2018 to May 2020 in Xingtai Third Hospital were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method, with 57 cases in each group. Both groups were given conventional treatment. On this basis, the control group was given oxiracetam, and the observation group was given electromyography biofeedback therapy combined with oxiracetam. The treatment effects after treated for 1 month was compared between the two groups. The levels of serum HO-1, soluble apoptotic molecules sFas, sFasL before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Cognitive function evaluated by Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The scores of Chinese Stroke Scale (CSS), Ability of Daily Living (ADL) before and after treatment and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:After treated for 1 month, the total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group: 93.0%(53/57) vs. 77.2%(44/57), the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). After treated for 1 month, the level of serum HO-1 in the two groups was higher than that before treatment, and the level of serum HO-1 in the observation group was higher than that in the control group: (30.21 ± 4.05) μg/L vs. (24.19 ± 3.47) μg/L, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of serum sFas and sFasL in two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment, and the levels of serum sFas and sFasL in the observation group were lower than those the control group after treatment: (81.57 ± 16.23) ng/L vs. (118.49 ± 25.09) ng/L, (135.47 ± 24.41) ng/L vs. (200.71 ± 30.29) ng/L, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After treated for 1 month, the CSS scores in the observation group was lower than the control group: (13.48 ± 2.15) scores vs. (17.22 ± 3.02) scores; the WMS, MMSE, and ADL scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: (97.75 ± 10.27) scores vs. (88.43 ± 9.16) scores, (23.82 ± 2.50) scores vs. (21.38 ± 2.19) scores, (60.16 ± 6.24) scores vs. (51.29 ± 5.52) scores, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Electromyography biofeedback therapy combined with oxiracetam has a significant effect in the treatment of elderly patients with VaD. It can significantly improve vascular endothelial function, regulate apoptosis factors, strengthen cognitive function, promote recovery of nerve function and daily living ability without increasing adverse reactions.

Exercise therapy for hypertensive patients with diabetes mellitus / 中华全科医师杂志

There is a synergistic effect of hypertension combined with diabetes to cardiovascular risk.The blood pressure control is more difficult for hypertensive patients complicated with diabetes,leading to aggravating the vital organs damage (such as heart,brain,kidney).Therefore,blood pressure and blood glucose levels should be simultaneously and effectively controlled.The exercise therapy not only eliminates the risk factors for cardiovascular disease,but also lowers blood pressure and blood sugar,resulting in the reduction of cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality.This article reviews the effects of exercise therapy on blood pressure and blood glucose,and provides guidance for hypertensive patients with diabetes mellitus.
