Objective To test the reliability and validity of Chinese version of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Self-Efficacy Scale.Methods The Chinese version of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Self-Efficacy Scale was developed based on strict principle of translation,back-translation,expert consultation and preliminary test.The reliability and validity were tested among 196 inflammatory bowel disease patients.Results The Chinese version of scale had a total of 29 items.The coefficient of Cronbach's α was 0.899～ 0.973,and the coefficient of the Guttman spit half was 0.825～0.917.Factor analysis indicated that the cumulative proportion of 4 principal components reached 78.1％.Conclusions The Chinese version of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Self-Efficacy Scale has been proved to be reliable and valid.It can be used as a valid tool for the measurement of self-efficacy of Chinese inflammatory bowel disease patients.

With decision tree model, both net utility and cost-benefit were analysed to comprehensively assess hepatitis B vaccination strategy in China. The result showed that neonates shoulUbe taken as the most favourable vaccinated population, infants aged 0～3 years the next, and immediate vaccination scheme was recommended. Although vaccination would result in negative benefit in the population aged 7 and over, certain net utility was also gained, Therefore we suggest that the subjects to be vaccinated be extended in due course.

Objective To investigate the role of platelet-derived growth factor-β receptor (PDGFR-β) in self-renewal of neural stem cells (NSCs).Methods In this study,NSCs of subventricular zone were isolated and cultured from PDGFR-β knockout (PDGFR-β-/-) mice of postnatal day 1 (P1) and P28;the number and diameters of secondary neurospheres were calculated;using 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay,cell proliferation and survival rates were analyzed;gene expression profiles were determined by PCR-array analyses;the effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on secondary neurospheres formation was examined in these cells.Results In PDGFR-β-/-NSCs,stem cell activities,such as number (/well;P1:25.9±1.3vs117.6±3.6,t=4.236,P＜0.01;P28:13.8± 0.7vs 19.8±0.6,t=2.116,P＜0.01)and diameters (μm;P1:67.7±1.9 vs 69.1 ±2.0,t=3.211,P＜0.01;P28:33.4±0.8vs37.8±0.8,t=2.354,P ＜0.01) of secondary neurospheres,cell proliferation (％;P1:73.3 ± 2.7 vs 88.7 ± 3.6,t =2.773,P ＜ 0.05;P28:28.6 ± 9.6 vs 68.2 ± 4.5,t =6.302,P ＜ 0.05) and survival rates (％;P1:14.5 ±2.1 vs 9.3 ± 1.3,t =7.222,P ＜ 0.05),were significantly lower as compared with age-matched controls.In comparison of the same genotypic NSCs,the decrease of secondary neurosphere formation was more striking in P28 NSCs than in P1 NSCs.PCR Array analyses demonstrated that expressions of fibroblast growth factor2 and BDNF were decreased (-2.04 ± 0.25,t =2.653,P ＜ 0.05;-3.24 ± 0.37,t =1.324,P ＜ 0.05),and Noggin (2.31 ± 0.37,t =2.749,P ＜ 0.05) was increased in P1 PDGFR-β-/-NSCs as compared with P1 controls.Addition of BDNF rescued the number and diameter of secondary neurospheres in P1 PDGFR-β-/-NSCs to similar levels as controls.Conclusions PDGFR-β signaling may play a role in the selfrenewal and proliferation of NSCs.BDNF may be involved in the effects of PDGFR-β signaling in these cells.

Objective To understand the training status and learning requirement of nursing personnel for the aged from the perspective of nursing targets and their relatives in the city of Nanjing.Methods The questionnaire involved six categories,80 questionnaires were sent out,57 of them were recollected.The effective recovery rate was 71.3％(57/80).All the data were input into Excel to do statistical analysis.Results The nursing personnel did not fully grasp the skills of transfusion nursing and muscle injection [45.6％(26/57) and 33.3％(19/57)] in the basic theory of basic care,knowledge and skills from the perspective of nursing targets and their relatives.The Chinese medicine nursing skills such as scrapping [needing very much 40.4％ (23/57)] and burying seeds [needing very much 40.4％ (23/57)] in the ear acupuncture point were also needed to be enhanced.A total of 75.4％ (43/57) of respondents chose online examination as the way of nursing personnel's evaluation.Conclusions Nursing personnel are in great need of on-job professional training.

ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy and the immunological memory of plasma-derived hepatitis B vac- cine 11 years after the initial inoculation. Methods A randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial design was used. Results The immunogenicity and protection rate of the vaccine were good 1 1 years after vaccination, how- ever, from 9 to 11 years after vaccination, the perscn year HBV infection rate showed no noticeable difference be- tween the vaccine group and placebo-controls. Furthermore, the immunological memory remained 11 years after in- oculation, but was significantly lower than that observed in the past 10 years. Conclusion Vaccine protection wanes over the years. More information is needed to define the appropriate time for vaccine booster doses.

Objective To evaluate stepping DSA technology in lower extremity artey disease. Methods 12 cases performed with stepping DSA in lower extremity artery were examined with TOSHIBA Infinixi digital subtraction angiography system, of which, 8 ones were also examined with conventional DSA. Results Stepping DSA technology could decrease the dosage of contrast agent and the examination.

0.05).The operation was failed in 2 cases due to the displacement of the renal tube(re-puncture was performed) or massive hemorrhage from torn renal calices(the procedure was terminated,and the bleeding was controlled by compression and hemostat).One patient developed acute pulmonary edema after the operation and was cured by diuretic;4 cases showed postoperative fever;no serious complications occurred in this series.The stone-free rate in one session was 89.1%(49/55).The residual calculi were all cleared by a second operation combined with extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy.The patients were followed up for 3 to 12 months(mean,6 months),during which no recurrent case was found.ConclusionUreteroscopy is safe and effective for establishing renal channel in minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Objective To evaluate a reliable and noninvasive method for the diagnosis of acute rejection after liver transplantation.Methods The allogeneic, syngeneic and immunosuppresive models of orthotopic rat liver transplantation were established, and acute rejection was graded according to histopathological change. Bile was sent for cytology by microscopy,and the sequential detection of bile IL 2,IFN ?,IL 4 and IL 6 gene expression was performed at day 1 through day 7. Results The number of cells in bile was persistently high in allogeneic group,and blast and lymphocytes appeared in bile. IL 2 and IFN ? were detected only in allogeneic group,with a specificity of 70% and 67%(7/10 and 8/12),and a sensitivity of 39% and 44%(7/18 and 8/18)respectively.Conclusion Bile cytology and detection of IL 2 and IFN ?mRNA transcript are useful adjuvant diagnosic methods for acute rejection after liver transplantation.

To explore the changes in blood levels of lipopolysaccharide(LPS), lipopolysaccharide-binding protein(LBP),and soluble CD14 (sCD14), and their clinical significance in patients with severe chronic viral hepatitis B. blood levels of LPS were determined with chromogenic limulus amebocyte lysate assay, and LBP and sCD14 were assayed with ELISA in 24 patients of severe chronic viral hepatitis B. 10 normal subjects and 16 patients with chronic hepatitis B were also enrolled as controls. The results showed that the blood levels of LPS, LBP and sCD14 were significantly higher in patients with the early stage, midterm, late periods of severe chronic viral hepatitis B than in normal subjects and in those with chronic hepatitis B. The blood levels of LPS, LBP and sCD14 were also significantly higher in patients who died of severe chronic viral hepatitis B than in survivors of the same disease. It suggested that when patients with severe chronic viral hepatitis B were complicated by intestinal endotoxemia (IETM), the sensitivity of Kupffer cells to endotoxin was significantly increased, resulting in hepatocyte injury by TNF ?,even in the presence of very low endotoxin concentration .

[Objective]To establish an animal model of heterotopie ossification(HO)induced by Achilles' tenotomy in Sprague-Dawley(SD)rat and to investigate its possible mechanism.[Method]Thirty six male SD rats were divided into 3 groups(n=12).In sham group,incision and suturation were performed only in the left leg.Partial tenotomy was performed in the left Achilles tendons in PAT group.In AT group,tenotomy was performed in the left Achilles tendons to establish animal model of HO.X-ray and histological examinations were made at 6 and 10 weeks after operation.[Result](1)No HO occurred in the sham and PAT groups.(2)In AT group,3 rats showed cartilage and bone formation on X-rays while the remaining 3 rats showed chondrification in histological examination at 6 weeks after operation.At 10 weeks all rats showed bone formation with trabecular bone.This kind of HO developed through a process of endochondral ossification.[Conclusion]Tenotomy is a simple,effective and feasible method to induce HO.
