Strong emotional and psychological reaction caused by traumatic factors will form psychological shadows, and the improper coping of these events will lead to a post-traumatic stress disorder. In this paper, the author makes an exploration on the roots of psychological trauma and of post-traumatic stress reaction or disorders, which were caused by natural traumatic event, such as floods, snowstorms, earthquakes and other man-made factors such as wars, accidents from a psychological point of view. Finally, some suggestions of intervention are provided for the relevant departments to make relevant rebuilding policies.展开更多

Methods : A total of 30 patients with traumatic brain injury were involved in our study. They were divided into two groups by Glasgow Coma Scale: severe tranmatic brain injury group ( STBI, GCS ≤ 8 ) and moderate traumatic brain injury group ( MTBI, GCS 〉 8 ). Samples of venous blood were collected in the morning at rest from 15 healthy volunteers (control group)and within 24 h after traumatic brain injury from these patients for AVP determinations by radioimmunoassay. The severity and duration of the brain edema were estimated by head CT scan. Results: plasma AVP levels (ng/L) were (mean± SD) control, 3.06 ± 1.49; MTBI, 38. 12 ± 7. 25; andSTBI, 66. 61 ± 17. 10. The plasma level of AVP was significantly increased within 24 h after traumatic brain injury and followed by the reduction of GCS, suggesting the deterioration of cerebral injury ( P 〈 0.01 ). And the AVP level was correlated with the severity ( STBI r = 0. 919, P 〈 0.01 ; MTBI r = 0. 724, P 〈 0.01 ) and the duration of brain edema (STBI r =0.790, P 〈0.01; MTBI r =0.712, P〈0.01). Conclusions. The plasma AVP level is dosely associated with the severity of traumatic brain injury. AVP may play an important role in pathogenesis of brain edema after traumatic brain injury.展开更多
