Reported family burden of schizophrenia patients in rural China.

We aim to assess the level of family burden of schizophrenia patients and identify its predicting factors in a rural community sample of China. A sample of 327 primary caregivers was recruited through a one-stage cluster sampling in Ningxiang County of Hunan province, China. Family burden was assessed using the Family Burden Interview Schedule (FBIS) of Pai and Kapur.

Unruptured Epileptogenic Brain Arteriovenous Malformations.

Aim: To determine whether specific clinical and radiographic factors predispose arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) presenting with seizure and to predict the seizure risk for individual AVM patients.

Material And Methods: Clinical features and cerebral angiograms of consecutive 45 unruptured AVM patients who were diagnosed in our center in a 2-year period were reviewed. Patient data (analysis cohort) was used to determine risk factors for seizure and to construct epileptogenic AVM groups.

Assessment of mental health literacy using a multifaceted measure among a Chinese rural population.

Objectives: The present study aims to assess mental health literacy (MHL) using a standardised multifaceted 20-item instrument called Mental Health Knowledge Questionnaire (MHKQ) developed by the Chinese Ministry of Health, among a rural Chinese population.

Setting: Four villages in Liuyang county of Hunan province, China.

Participants: This was a cross-sectional study.

6-Formyl-2-naphthyl cis-1,5,7-trimethyl-2,4-dioxo-3-aza-bicyclo-[3.3.1]nonane-7-carboxyl-ate.

In the title compound, C(23)H(23)NO(5), the C(5)N ring adopts an envelope conformation with a C atom as the flap, whilst the saturated C(6) ring fused to it adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R(2) (2)(8) loops.

[Determination of trace arsenic and selenium in jellyfish by microwave digestion-hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry].

A method of hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry was proposed in the present paper for the determination of trace arsenic and selenium in jellyfish. The samples were treated by the combination of microwave digestion and lyophilization. The optimal conditions for treating and analyzing samples were established.
