重复电休克对大白鼠学习记忆的影响

本实验观察了生后18—19天的幼年大白鼠接受连续四周重复电休克(每天两次),到动物成年后对学习和记忆有明显的影响;电休克施加于更年幼的动物(生后14天)有更明显的影响;而施加于成年动物(生后两个月),则没有影响。这一观察在防御性和食物性两种实验方法中的结果是一致的。     

Toward a model for spirituality and alcoholism

Spirituality is a significant factor in recovery from alcoholism, whatever definition of this condition one may use. One aspect of alcohol abuse is its apparent relationship to the balance between brain hemispheres. Excessive use of alcohol anesthetizes the object-based, language-oriented functions of the left hemisphere, associated with an action mode of consciousness. This allows greater engagement of the right-hemisphere receptive mode, which is also associated with religious experience. A model of spirituality based on achieving a balance between hemisphere functions and modes of consciousness could provide a non-chemical alternative to excessive use of alcohol.     

缺血性脑血管病患者的记忆障碍与脑脊液(CSF)中三种神经肽关系的研究

本实验对9例缺血性脑血管病(ICVD)患者及9例正常健康对照者及对照者进行了临床记忆量表检查,并测定了患者及对照者的脑脊液(CSF)中P物质(SP)、血管活性肠肽(VIF)及生长抑素(SS)含量。结果:(1)ICVD患者的记忆总分及记忆商(MQ)均显著低于正常健康对照组及对照组;分项测试中亦有降低趋势,且其中联想学习成绩的降低达显著性。(2)ICVD患者CSFSS含量显著低于对照组。(3)ICVD患者CSFSS含量与其MQ是显著正相关。本结果提示ICVD患者有不同程度的记忆障碍,测定CSFSS对患者记忆状况的判断有一定的参考价值。     

国内十省市在校青少年理想、动机和兴趣的研究

这个研究采用独特而新颖的方法,在国内十个省市内进行。 研究指出,目前中学生大多数是有理想的,总的趋势是健康的,主流是好的。 研究表明,理想是人生观的核心与方向,要进行理想教育,重要的途径在于激发学习动机和培养学习兴趣,学校教育工作要注意处理好理想、动机和兴趣三者关系。既抓方向,又抓动力。     

Anorexia nervosa: A pastoral update

Anorexia nervosa is a disorder of unknown etiology that is a complex of physical, emotional, and behavioral changes occurring in individuals who starve themselves. The incidence of this disease has increased dramatically in the last twenty years. Most patients seem to be unaware of or unconcerned about their emaciation. After presenting a case, this study reviews the most recent findings about this disease, including the symptoms, social characteristics of its victims, increaed incidence, history, and prognosis. Suggestions are offered for pastoral care and counseling.     

中国-韦氏幼儿智力量表(C-WYCSI)的编制

本文介绍了中国-韦氏幼儿智力量表(C-WYCSI)的编制情况。C-WYCSI是以WPPSI为蓝本编制,包括城市常模(N=2200人)和农村常模(N=1120人)。作者从心理测量学角度对常模的构成、测验项目的筛选及上下限、信度和效度等问题进行了分析与讨论。结果提示:尽管C-WYCSI改变很大,但项目的难度和区分度是较满意的;城市常模的测验下限明显改善,但上限不及原量表;各种信度均达到测量学认可的水平;效度研究结果表明:C-WYCSI较好地保持了WPPSI的功能。     

海马CA_3区在长时记忆的保持中的作用

本工作将M-胆碱能受体阻断剂东莨菪碱,r-氨基丁酸及其受体阻断剂印防己毒素,经埋植的慢性导管注入家兔双侧海马CA_3区,观察上述药物对已巩固的操作式食物性条件反应的影响。发现东莨菪碱(每侧45微克/5微升)、r-氨基丁酸(每侧3毫克/5微升)均使条件反应抑制;若注r-氨基丁酸之前先加注印防己毒素,则抑制时间缩短,且剂量愈大时间更为缩短。抑制期间动物的摄食和运动功能正常,抑制后条件反应皆恢复;注生理盐水作自身对照则均无抑制效应。这表明海马CA_3区在长时记忆的保持上起着重要作用,且此种作用有胆碱能突触和GABA能突触参与。     

Keeping the therapist alive

This article focuses on ways in which therapists can mamtain vitality in their work with people. Becoming more aware of personal dynamics, particularly of the need for control and power, is essential. To remain open to new theories and approaches avoids the pitfall of professional encapsulation. Experiencing the client as a person not only facilitates empathy but involves therapists in the growth process as well. Developing a tragic awareness of life enables therapists to maintain a sense of awe, wonder, and grace toward the human predicament, thus bringing depth or spirituality to their work.He is also editor of TheHarding Journal of Religion and Psychiatry.
