BRAIN DYSFUNCTION OF PATIENTSWITH QIGONG INDUCED MENTAL DISORDERREVEALED BY EVOKED POTENTIALS RECORDING

Objective: In order to investigate the brain function of patients with Qigong induced mental disorder (QIMD), this study was carried out. Methods: Four kinds of evoked potentials, including contingent negative variation (CNV), auditory evoked potentials (AEP), visual evoked potentials (VEP), and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP), were recorded from 12 patients with Qigong induced mental disorder.Comparison of their evoked potentials with the data from some normal controls was made. Results: The results revealed that there were 3 kinds of abnormal changes in evoked potentials of patients with QIMD that is latency prolongation, amplitude increase and amplitude decrease, as compared with normal controls. Conclusion: Brain dysfunction of patients with QIMD was confirmed. Its biological mechanism needs further studying.

气功所致精神障碍的临床研究

目的 :探讨气功所致精神障碍病人的人格特性、主要发病因素和随访研究。方法 :(1)测定 35例气功师和 2 8例气功所致精神障碍病人的MMPI和EPQ。 (2 )用自行设计气功所致精神障碍相关因素调查表分析其主要发病因素。 (3)对出院诊断为气功所致精神障碍的 5 7例病人进行随访调查。结果 :(1)气功师的MMPI临床量表Hy原始分显著高于常模 ,Hs、D、Pt、Ma原始分显著低于常模。气功所致精神障碍病人MMPI特点与病人临床症状群的诊断相吻合。 (2 )对气功所致精神障碍各种发病因素的Logistic多元回归统计分析得出 ,只有MMPI中Hs、Sc和EPQ中N进入回归方程。 (3) 5 7例随访研究中 ,15例未随访到 ,在随访到的 42例中 ,35例 (83 33 % )改变诊断。结论 :气功操作不当在气功所致精神障碍中仅起诱因作用 ,人格偏差是此病发病的主要因素 ,不支持将气功所致精神障碍作为单独的疾病单元分类。

气功态与气功所致精神障碍P_(300)的研究

目的:观察气功师在气功态时和气功所致精神障碍病人P300的变化。 方法:使用美国Nicolet公司PathfinderMEGA电生理诊断仪对30例处于气功态的气功师和28例气功所致精神障碍的病人及30例正常成人的事件相关电位(P300)进行对照研究。 结果:P300的N1、P2、N2、P3各波靶与非靶的潜伏期与波幅3组间均无显著差异(P>005)。
