Psychopathological characteristics and its influencing factors in families of presbycusis patients / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate the psychopathological characteristics in families of presbycusis patients and its influencing factors.Methods The psychopathological characteristics were evaluated with the Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90) Chinese version in 157 families of presbycusis patients(FPP) in the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from July 2015 to July 2017. Somatization, obsessive - compulsive disorder, interpersonal sensitivity,depression,anxiety,hostility,phobic anxiety,paranoid ideation,psychoticism and other were assessed and compared with the Chinese standard norm.The correlation between SCL-90 and related data had also been analyzed. The general information and clinical data of patients were analyzed.Results The SCL-90 score in the FPP group was (146.3 ± 42.8)points.The total score and total average score of SCL-90 had statistically significant difference between the FPP group and the Chinese standard group(t=14.557,14.765,all P<0.05).The scores of somatiza-tion,interpersonal sensitivity,depression and anxiety factors in the FPP group were higher than those in the Chinese standard group(t=5.417,13.588,20.857,22.475,all P<0.05).Age,sleeping condition,educational level,hearing aids and the level of patients＇hearing loss were correlated with the total score of SCL-90( TSCL-90) in FPP( all P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age(t=2.550,P<0.000),the educational level( t =4.087,P<0.000),and the level of patients＇hearing loss ( t =2.188, P <0.05 ) were positively correlated with TSCL-90,and sleeping condition(t= -2.004,P<0.05) and hearing aids(t= -4.643,P<0.05) were negatively associated with TSCL-90.Conclusion The psychopathological characteristics are generally poor in families with presbycusis patients,accompanied by obvious depression and anxiety;and age,sleeping condition,educational level, hearing aids and the level of patients＇hearing loss are important influencing factors.It is important to pay attention to overall health in families with presbycusis patients.

Trends and impact factors of drug-resistant tuberculosis in Ningbo from 2007 to 2010 / 中华传染病杂志

Objective To determine the prevalence,trends and risk factors of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) in Ningbo during 2007-2010,and to explore the efficient control strategy of drugresistant TB.Methods A cross-sectional study of regional anti-TB drug resistance was conducted in Ningbo.The registered and culture-positive TB patients were enrolled and drug sensitivity test was performed.The demographic and clinical information were collected from the national TB report system.Logistic regression model was used to determine the risk factors of drug resistance.Results Of 1613 enrolled TB patients,39.3％-48.3％ were resistant to any first-line anti-TB drug and 14.0％-19.9％ were multidrug resistant (MDR)-TB.The proportion of new cases resistant to any first-line anti-TB drug was 35.4 ％-42.1％ and MDR TB was 9.8％- 12.2 ％,which were both significantly lower than those of retreated patients (69.5％-72.7％ and 33.9％ - 54.5％,respectively).The multivariate Logistic regression model showed that anti-TB treatment history and migration were significantly associated with any drug resistance (OR=3.298,95 ％ CI 2.391 4.550and OR=0.771,95 ％CI 0.608 - 0.978,respectively) ; while age,treatment history and migration were also significantly associated with MDR-TB.Conclusions Drug-resistant TB prevalence showed a decrease trend in Ningbo,while the resistant rates in both new cases and retreated cases still remain at high levels. Improved case management,including directly observed treatment short-course and appropriate treatment regimens specifically for drug-resistant TB,should be developed to prevent further transmission and development of drug-resistant TB in this setting.
