Article Abstract

Aims: This study analyzed the application value of drug combined painting therapy for patients with anxiety disorder by observing the changes in patients' mental and social functions.

Methods: 400 cases with anxiety disorder were recruited, and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 200 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received drug therapy alone, while experimental group was combined with painting treatment on the basis of control group. The Nurses Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation (NOSIE) was used for the evaluation of mental and social functioning. Clinical efficacy was evaluated according to the degree of reduction in the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) score.

Results: After 8 weeks of treatment, the experimental group had a lower HAMD score than those in the control group. After 8 weeks of treatment, mental and social functions in both groups improved significantly. And the social competence, social interest and personal cleanliness of the experimental group were better than those of the control group, and the degree of irritability, retardation and depression were lower than those of the control group. In comparison with the control group, the experimental group had a higher cure rate and remarkable response rate.

Conclusions: Painting therapy combined with drug therapy can relieve anxiety symptoms of patients with anxiety disorder, improve their mental and social functions, and improve clinical efficacy.

Activated Graphite with Richly Oxygenated Surface from Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries for Microwave Absorption.

Small

January 2025

School of Materials and Physics & Center of Mineral Resource Waste Recycling, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, 221116, China.

Designing spent graphite anodes from lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for applications beyond regenerated batteries offers significant potential for promoting the recycling of spent LIBs. The battery-grade graphite, characterized by a highly graphitized structure, demonstrates excellent conductive loss capabilities, making it suitable for microwave absorption. During the Li-ion intercalation and deintercalation processes in battery operation, the surface layer of spent graphite (SG) becomes activated, forming oxygen-rich functional groups that enhance the polarization loss mechanism.

Hepatitis B (Hep B) remains a critical public health issue globally, particularly in Tibet, where vaccination rates and influencing factors among college students are yet understudied. This study applies a cross-sectional design to investigate the Hep B vaccination rate among 1,126 college students in Tibet and utilizes the expanded theory of planned behavior (ETPB) to identify vaccination behavior intention (BI) and vaccination behavior (VB). Stratified cluster sampling across three universities was used to assess behavioral attitudes (BA), subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), past vaccination history (PVH) and vaccination knowledge (VK), and used structural equation modeling (SEM) for model validation and multi-group comparison.

Background And Objectives: Low-birth weight, premature infants often have severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), which can result in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH), sometimes requiring cerebrospinal fluid diversion. Initial temporizing management of PHH includes placement of a ventriculosubgaleal shunt (VSGS) or ventricular access device (VAD). Studies have found similar permanent shunt conversion rates between VSGS and VAD but were limited by sample scope and size.

Estrogen significantly impacts women's health, and postmenopausal hypertension is a common issue characterized by blood pressure fluctuations. Current control strategies for this condition are limited in efficacy, necessitating further research into the underlying mechanisms. Although metabolomics has been applied to study various diseases, its use in understanding postmenopausal hypertension is scarce.
