现代化战争中,军人的心理素质至关重要,因此引发了人们对新兵筛选及新兵心理健康状况监测的重视[1].对新兵进行心理健康监测的目的就是发现心理问题现症患者或新兵精神疾病病史,避免新兵带病入伍;同时对集训期健康或亚健康状态的新兵进行跟踪监测,确定哪些新兵需要进行心理干预,哪些人可能对干预效果好;也有助于对新兵集训结束后军兵种或工种安排提供参考性意见.
执行多样化军事任务是我军在新时期面临的一项新任务.执行任务时,官兵经常性处于急性或慢性心理应激状态[1].如何有效降低任务官兵心理应激反应,减少军事应激损伤,对促进官兵身心健康,提高部队战斗力具有重要意义.目前国内外关于军人执行某一具体军事任务时心理应激及相关影响因素的研究较多[2-3],但多采用横向比较,缺乏纵向跟踪研究,对执行不同性质和类型军事任务军人心理应激之间有何共性和特异性的研究报道相对缺乏.本研究采用量化研究和结构式访谈相结合的方式,对近3年执行过多样化军事任务的1222名军人心理应激及相关影响因素进行纵向跟踪式研究,为任务部队心理健康教育提供科学依据.
Objective To explore the effect of depression on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) in the cerebral cortex,hippocampus and cerebrospinal fluid in order to investigate the relationship between BDNF and the occurrence of depression.Methods The depression model in rats was established with chronic unpredictable stress.The behaviors in Open-Field testing were observed through forced swimming.The expression of BDNF in above-mentioned tissues was examined by immunohistochemical method and ELISA.Results Compared with normal control,the number of BDNF positive cells in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex in depressed rats was decreased markedly.The level of BDNF in the cerebral-spinal fluid,hippocampus and cerebral cortex in normal mice was(6.87±2.44)ng/ml,(11.75±3.60)ng/g and(4.31±1.37)ng/g respectively;and they were markedly higher than those of depressed rats [(4.23±1.54)ng/ml,(8.56±2.45)ng/g and(3.06±0.67)ng/g,P0.01].Conclusion BDNF levels are obviously decreased in the depressed rats,indicating it may be involved in the occurrence of depression.
Objective To investigate the effects of brain-drived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on the expression of neuronal precursors microtubule-associated protein doublecortin in hippocampus of depressed rats and provide experimental evidence for the effects of BDNF on the proliferation and migration of neuronal precursors. Methods Depressed rat model was established,and 0.5 ug of purified BDNF was injected into rat cerebral ventricle for preparing frozen section. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were employed to observe the positive expression level and expression site of Doublecortin (DCX). Results Positive cell number of DCX in hippocampus region of BDNF injection group was increased compared with that of non-injection group (P0.05). Conclusion BDNF might affect the differentiation and migration of neuronal precursors via regulating the expression of DCX in hippocampus of depressed rats.
