Prevalence and severity of anxiety, depression and Type A behaviors in angina pectoris

The role of psychological factors in coronary heart disease was examined by administering the Bech Rating Scale (BRS) of mood disorders and the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) for Type A behavior patterns (TABP) to a consecutive sample of angina patients ( N = 94), to a consecutive sample of noncardiac patients ( N = 47), and to a random sample of adults from the general population ( N = 217). Anxiety and depression were both more frequent and more severe in angina patients than in noncardiac patients or in the general population. There was a tendency for certain components of TABP (i. e. speed, impatience, hard-driving and competitive disposition) to be elevated in angina patients, but a similar trend was noted in noncardiac patients. Although no consistent relations were observed between negative emotions and TABP scores in angina patients, their anxiety and depression scores were reliably related to their use of nitroglycerin. The findings concur with previous studies concerning the presence of anxiety and depression in patients with angina pectoris and indicate that such negative emotions are not closely related to Type A personality traits.     

冠心病理想治疗方式的选择

心病的治疗包括针对高危因素病因和临床并发症的综合治疗.其中,药物治疗主要包括:凝/抗血小板、控制血压和调脂等.血管重建术主要包括:入、搭桥、"杂交"手术和分子生物学治疗.药物治疗是冠心痛各种治疗方法的基础,而血管重建术是现代治疗冠心痛的重要手段.如何合理地选择治疗方案是临床医师面临的重要课题.     

遵循指南,恰当进行冠心病的介入治疗

如何遵循指南,结合冠心病患者实际情况和具体病变.恰如其分地为患者实施经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI).使获益最大化,而风险最低化,是每一位心血管介入医生的追求和面临的问题.应正确和严格选择冠心痛患者PCI适应证,合理运用PCI的各种手段,牢固树立冠心病全面治疗观念.PCI仅仅是冠心病全面治疗的一个组成部分,必要的介入、外科治疗和合理药物治疗的联合应用,是心血管疾病治疗的发展方向.     

干细胞移植治疗冠心病的现状与未来

冠心病仍然是全球的主要死亡原因.其所造成的心肌梗死及慢性心力衰竭对生活质量的影响和由此造成的高额医疗费用促使我们不断寻求新的医疗措施.近几年有关干细胞用于心肌梗死后心肌再生、心肌内新生血管形成,可能还会改善梗死后的心功能的研究成为心脏病学研究的最热门领域.尽管干细胞治疗有可能使心力衰竭的治疗得到彻底的革命,但仍有部分问题需要澄清.已发表的各个研究结果设计不尽相同,致使对该项治疗的效果较难得出一致的结论.但这些研究都强调干细胞治疗在未来心血管疾病的治疗中可能会发挥较大的作用.干细胞治疗与药学、外科及介入治疗的结合会显著改善冠心病患者的预后.     

Age-related changes of phasic heart rate responses to affective pictures

This study examined age differences in phasic heart rate in response to neutral, negative and positive pictures. Heart rate changes and subjective ratings were analyzed in 22 middle-aged (40-55 years) and 30 older (56-78 years) participants. The effects of valence on the HR pattern across time were similar to that obtained by Bradley and co-workers. Conversely to previous studies, we did not report any age-related reduction in cardiac reactivity. Instead, when viewing positive pictures, the triphasic wave form appeared in the group of older adults, but for younger participants, it was replaced by a sustained deceleration. These results were interpreted in the light of the socioemotional selectivity theory.     

股民股票投资成败归因内容与特征的研究

运用开放式问卷,调查了股民股票投资成败的归因内容,并分别对成功与失败归因的内容及不同特征股民的成败归因内容进行了比较。研究结果表明：股民股票投资成败归因的主要内容是能力、果断、信息、政策等十三项;对于成功和失败,股民所作的能力、果断、政策、运气等九项归因有显著差异;文化程度、股龄及户别,分别对十三项归因中的部分归因有显著影响,这显示了不同特征股民各自的归因特点。
