Objective To improve self-management of diabetics with role lack.Methods A total of 121 diabetics with role lack were enrolled and received mass education and individual counseling.Serum levels of glucose and lipid profiles and body mass index (BMI) were assessed and compared before and after intervention by using paired t test.Results Knowledge on diabetes ( 79.37 ± 12.45 vs 31.69 ± 9.36,t =2.860,P < 0.05) and self-management skills ( 9.21 ± 2.85 vs 4.43 ± 1.72,t =2.812,P < 0.05 ) were significantly improved after receiving health education,although fasting plasma glucose [ ( 6.3 ± 1.8 ) vs (8.1 ±2.1) mmol/L,t =2.736,P <0.05],2-h postprandial blood glucose [(8.1 ±3.7) vs (12.8 ±4.1)mmol/L,t =3.549,P < 0.05 ],glycosylated hemoglobin Alc [ (6.4 ± 2.5 ) % vs (7.1 ± 2.7 ) %,t =2.603,P < 0.05 ],total cholesterol [ ( 5.2 ± 2.3 ) vs ( 6.3 ± 2.4 ) mmol/L,t =2.036,P < 0.05 ],triglyceride [(1.7±0.7) vs (2.4±0.8) mmol/L,t=2.368,P<0.05] and BMI [(25.6±6.2) vs (27.3±6.5)kg/m2,t =2.546,P < 0.05 ] were largely decreased.Conclusion Health education could improve selfmanagement and cure of diabetic patient with role lack.

Objective To investigate the levels of immunoglobulins and complement in children with cerebral palsy. Methods 59 children with cerebral palsy were assessed with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), and the serum levels of immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgA, lgM, complements C3 and C4 were measured in the children with cerebral palsy and other 61 children without cerebral palsy (controls). Results The serum levels of IgG, IgA, lgM, complement C3 and C4 decreased significantly in the children with cerebral palsy compared with the controls (P<0.001). There was significant difference in the levels of IgG, IgM, and complement C4 among cerebral palsy children of different grades of GMFCS (P<0.05), but not in the levels of IgA and complement C3 (P>0.05). Conclusion There is humoral immune dysfunction in some children with cerebral palsy, which may associated with the severity of the disease.
