Methods: Testing was conducted with groups of 20 students. Results: The means of Narcissistic, Antisocial, and Passive Aggressive personality disorders in PDQ +4 were higher in the male group than in the female group. The scores of Avoidance and Obsessive personality disorders at points of 90% and 95% were considerably higher than the cut-off scores of PDQ +4 . Three factors were abstracted by factor analysis. The loading of personality disorders on these three factors deviated significantly from what was originally proposed in the theory of test construction. Conclusion: Cross-cultural factors should be considered when using PDQ +4 in China. The category of personality disorders proposed in the PDQ +4 needs to be further validated.展开更多

Up to now, locking plates (LP) and external fixation (EF) are two conventional surgical approaches to type C radius fracture. Which method is superior has not yet reached a consensus. We try to assess the clinical effectiveness of the two in- terventions by this meta-analysis. Methods: We used network to search the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Medical Library of randomized controlled clinical trials about the type C distal radius fractures performed according to the search strategy mentioned in Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 from Jan. 2005 to Jan. 2016. Patients in the experimental group were used LP, in the control group were included EF and other surgical approaches. Publication language was restricted to English. Studies that patient population and surgical indication did not define had been excluded. Studies must report at least one of the outcomes as follow: radial inclination, patmar tilt, ulnar variance, range of wrist flexion and extension, and range of wrist supination and pronation. The trials in which participants included children were excluded. We used Jadad study scores to appraise the study. Results: Seven studies included 162 patients (LP group) and 190 patients (EF group). We compared the radial inclination, palmar tilt, ulnar variance, range of wrist flexion and extension, and range of wrist supination and pronation. The radial inclination were revealed a difference favoring LP over EF [WMD = 1.84, 95% CI (0.17, 3.50), p = 0.03] and the palmar tilt and ulnar variance was no significant difference between the two groups [(WMD = 3.61, 95% CI (0.00, 7.23), p = 0.05; WMD = 0.05, 95% CI (-0.99,1.09), p = 0.93]. The functional activities of range of flexion and extension and range of supination and pronation between the two groups was no difference [WMD = 10.04, 95% CI (-6.88, 26.96), p = 0.24; WMD = 12.53, 95% CI (-9.99, 35.06), p = 0.28].
