Objective To explore the influence of the protection motivation theory (PMT) on the self-nursing ability of high-risk diabetic foot (DF) patients. Methods The outpatients in our hospital were selected with high-risk DF between January 2013 and May 2014, randomly divided into the control group and PMT group, 52 cases in each group. Guided under the protection motivation theory, PMT group received a six-month health education and management; and the control group accepted conventional health education of diabetes. Before and after the intervention, some observation indexes of the two groups respectively were evaluated including the ability of diabetic foot self-nursing, foot condition, fasting blood sugar, 2 h postprandial blood glucose. Result After six months, the scores of the self-care ability of diabetic foot and foot condition from the patients of PMT group were higher than that of PMT group before the intervention and that of control group after intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion PMT can help patients with high-risk DF enhance their foot self-care ability, improve their foot condition, control their blood sugar, and prevent the DF onset.

[Objective] To explore how to deal with the paternity test of complex adoption cases. [Method] Samples from 13 families, in which adoptive parents were suspected related to biological parents, were genotyped using "Identifder + Sinofder + Powerplex 16" combined system (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSFIPO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, FGA, D6S1043, D12S391, PentaD, PentaE) followed by further statistical analysis. [Result] Among all 13 cases, 2 were completely accordance with the Mendel law, PI > 10 000. There found more than 3 inconsistent loci in 8 cases. And found 1~2 inconsistent loci in 3 cases, needed to test more STR loci until PI≥10 000. The half sibling index (HSI) was also calculated with ITO method. The adoptive parents of 2 cases were not excluded from a full sibling with biological parents. In addition, Y-STR loci were tested for 4 cases (father/son). Two adoptive fathers of them were not excluded from the paternal relationship with biological fathers. [Conclusion] The most (76.9%) of all (13) complex adoptive cases of paternity test could be drawn a definite conclusion with combined system of "Identifder + Sinefiler + Powerplexl6". Minority (23.1%) of them was not definite yet and needed testing more STIR loci. Meanwhile, we suggested adding Y-STR tests and providing HSI for reference.

Objective To assess the clinical effect of tumor-type prosthesis replacement for treatment of giant cell tumors of bone near the joints. Methods Thirty-seven patients with giant cell tumors of bone near the joints from January 1998 to January 2008 were reviewed. 18 were males and 19 were females. The ages ranged from 19 to 64 and the median age was 32 years old. The anatomic site of the lesions spreaded at distal femur(23 cases) , proximal tibia(10 cases),proximal humerus(3 cases) and proximal femur(1 case). According to Companacci's staging system: 9 patients were classified as grade II and 28 as grade Ⅲ. All patients had been treated with block excision and reconstruction with prosthesis. The functional outcomes were evaluated by MSTS 93 score. Results According to the follow-up for 2 -9 years,1 patient (4. 3% ) had local recurrence and underwent amputation of the diseased limb. As for the complications, periprosthesis infection occurred in 1 patient, prosthesis loosening in 2 patients. The average MSTS 93 score was 22. 49 ±5. 16 in 3 years after surgery. The evaluated functional result revealed excellent or good performance in 89. 2% of the patients. Conclusions Tumor-type prosthesis replacement is an effective procedure to reduce the local recurrence,and to restore joint function.
