RESUMEN
Although many studies have investigated the influencing factors of adolescents' Internet gaming addiction, few have investigated the influence factor of exposure to domestic violence, and even fewer have used the General Strain Theory to explain the influence path of exposure to domestic violence on adolescents' Internet gaming addiction. Based on the GST, this study sought to uncover further insights into the effect of exposure to family violence on adolescents' Internet gaming addiction, and the mediating role of social control-specifically, parental attachment-and self-control in the association between exposure to family violence and adolescents' Internet gaming addiction. Adopting a multi-stage cluster random sampling method, we conducted this study with 2,110 adolescents from Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, China. The results suggest that adolescents' exposure to domestic violence directly affects their addiction to Internet games and indirectly affects it by decreasing social control and self-control. The study not only supplements and improves the explanatory framework of General Strain Theory, but makes a significant contribution to research on the causes of Internet gaming addiction.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the etiology,clinical manifestations,diagnoses,treatments and prognoses of spontaneous spinal epidural and subdural hematomas.Methods Medical records of 10 patients with spontaneous spinal epidural hemorrhage and 4 patients with subdural hemorrhage,collected in our hospital from September 2013 to January 2016,were analyzed retrospectively.Evacuation of the hematoma was carried out in 12 patients and the other two patients were treated conservatively.The functions of spinal cords were assessed by American Spinal Injury Association impairment scale (ASIA) before and after the treatment.Results Spontaneous spinal epidural and subdural hematomas appeared mostly in young patients with sudden onset.Spinal epidural hematomas were much more common than subdural ones.The pathological examination showed that one suffered from arteriovenous malformation,one suffered from perimedually artriovenous fistula,and 12 had intracranial hematomas which were resulted from undefined causes.The ASIA before the operation was as follows:5 were in grade A,2 in grade B,4 in grade C and 3 in grade D.The ASIA after the operation was as follows:4 were in grade A,one in grade C,3 in grade D and 4 in grade E.The two patients received conservative treatments achieved total recovery of the neurological functions (grade E).Conclusions It should be stressed that early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are of great importance for prompt of spontaneous spinal epidural.The better the preoperative neurological status,the better the neurological outcome after the surgical operation.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Deep vein thrombosis is a common postoperative complication after spinal surgery in clinical department of neurosurgery anddepartment of orthopedics. Deep vein thrombosis is mostly related to vein intima injury, stasis and activation of blood coagulation factor. Early effective prediction can effectively avoid the adverse effects on the prognosis of patients with deep vein thrombosis. D-dimer used in the prediction of deep venous thrombosis has high sensitivity and specificity, andcan be used as a sensitive predictor for deep vein thrombosis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the relationship between plasma D-dimer mass concentration and deep vein thrombosis after spinal surgery. METHODS:A total of 83 patients treated with spinal surgery colected fromDepartment of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from April 2014 to August 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups according to postoperative plasma D-dimer mass concentration:D-dimer positive group (n=48) and D-dimer negative group (n=35). We monitored D-dimer mass concentration in both groups preoperatively and postoperatively 1, 3, 5, 9 and 14 days, and analyzed the relationship between D-dimer mass concentration and deep vein thrombosis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) No significant difference in D-dimer mass concentration was determined between the two groups (P> 0.05). D-dimer mass concentration was significantly higher in the D-dimer positive group than in the D-dimer negative group 1, 3, 5, 9, and 14 days postoperatively (P<0.05). (2) After operation, plasma D-dimer of 28 cases was positive, with persistent increasing. Double lower limb deep vein color Doppler ultrasound demonstrated that seven patients experienced deep vein thrombosis and four patients suffered from pulmonary embolism in D-dimer positive group. There was no deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in the D-dimer negative group. (3) These results indicate that positive D-dimer concentration of patientsafter spinal surgery suggests the possibility of deep vein thrombosis. If the concentration of D-dimer is persistently high, we should highly alert to the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis.
RESUMEN
Objective To discuss the efficacy and safety of endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery for sympatomatic Rathke' s cleft cysts.Methods The clinical manifestations, imaging features, surgical methods, pathology features, postoperative complications, postoperative recurrence and outcomes of 24 patients with Rathke's cleft cysts, admitted to our hospital from January 2007 to December 2014, were reviewed retrospectively.Results Total resection was achieved in 0 patient and subtotal resection was achieved in 24 patients.In the 16 patients with headache, 4 got relief and 12 achieved cure.In the 9 patients with hypopsia, 3 recovered to normal, 5 got improvement and one enjoyed no obvious changes.In the 21 patients with endocrine function disorder, 2 recovered to normal, 2 got improvement and one had transient diabetes insipidus.One patient appeared transient diabetes insipidus.Nine patients had transient decreased thyroid hormones, and those patients with progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, growth hormone and prolactin disorders recovered to normal;one patient got postoperative recurrence and accepted surgery for the second time.Conclusion Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery is a rational choice for sympatomatic Rathke' s cleft cysts, which can effectively perform the cyst drainage and resection of the capsule wall, enjoying small trauma, safety and low postoperative recurrence rate.
