Objective To understand the relationship between the infants′iron-deficiency anemia and the dependents′KAP (knowledge,attitude,practice)of iron nutrition,and to provide a theoretical support for the prevention and cure of the infants′iron-eficiency anemia.Methods A total of 960 infants,aging from 6 months to 36 months,were randomly chosen as samples at the child care clinics in Wuhan while they were doing their routine health check-up there.Their hemoglobin was examined.Their dependents were asked to fill in questionnaires about KAP of iron nutrition.Results The ratio of anemia in infants in Wuhan is 26.6%.The ra-tio difference of different age groups has statistical significance(P <0.05).The dependents′KAP of iron nutrition is in direct pro-portion to their educational level and family income.The ratio of anemia in infants is in inverse proportion to their dependents′edu-cational level and family income.The dependents′knowledge,attitude and practice of iron-intake were positively related.The aver-age score of guardian nutrition knowledge(K)was (11.96±3.77)points,the average score of attitude(A)was (7.09±2.80)points while the average score of feeding practice(P)was (18.05±3.60)points.Conclusion Much publicity should be given to the knowl-edge of iron nutrition and it should be conducted from various perspectives,in order to improve the cognitive level of the depend-ents′knowledge of iron nutrition and to lower the ratio of anemia in infants.

OBJECTIVETo study chemical constituents of contained in roots of Pterospermum heterophyllum.

METHODThe chemical constituents of P. heterophyllum were separated and purified by silica gel, sephadex LH-20, ODS column chromatography and preparative HPLC. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic techniques.

RESULTTen compounds were separated and identified as asperglaucide (1), 2-methoxy4-hydroxyphenol-1-O-beta-D-apiofuranosyl (1-->6)-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), 5, 5'-dimethoxy-9-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(-) -isolariciresinol(3), (-)-epicatechin (4), eriodictyol (5), taxifolin (6), 3beta-hydroxy-12-en-28-ursolic acid (7), 2beta, 3beta-dihydroxy-12-en-28-oleanolic acid (8), quercetin (9), cholest-4-en-3-one (10).

CONCLUSIONCompounds 1-10 were separated from this plant for the first time.

Objective:To explore benefit finding and its influencing factors among enterostomy patients.Methods:A total of 120 enterostomy patients were investigated with general information questionnaire, Benefit Finding Scale, Simplified Scale of Resilience and Perceived Social Support Scale.Results:The score of benefit finding among enterostomy patients was 49.44±5.86. Multiple regression analysis showed that education level, self-care, complications, resilience, perceived social support were influencing factors of benefit finding, and explained 51.1% of the variance.Conclusions:The benefit finding among enterostomy patients was grim. It is suggested that clinical staff pay more attention to the patients with low education, poor self-care and complications of stoma, and also pay more attention to the positive psychology and the social support system of patients, guide patients to pay attention to the positive significance of the disease, so as to improve the level of benefit finding.

Objective:To investigate the current situation with regard to a sense of coherence in major caregivers of enterostomy patients and analyze its relationship with self-efficacy and perceived social support.Methods:From July to December 2019, a total of 118 major caregivers of enterostomy patients were investigated using a general information questionnaire, a self-efficacy scale, and a perceived social support scale.Results:The score of sense of coherence in major caregivers of enterostomy patients was 58.40±9.17, and the average scores of all dimensions, from high to low, were “controllable sense，” “understandable sense，”and “meaningful sense.” Sense of coherence was positively correlated with self-efficacy and perceived social support ( r=0.457, P<0.01; r=0.369, P<0.01). Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that self-efficacy and perceived social support had a positive predictive effect on sense of coherence and explained 35.2% of the variance ( R′ 2=0.352, F=25.639, P<0.001). Conclusions:The main caregivers of enterostomy patients had a low level of sense of coherence. Self-efficacy and perceived social support have a positive effect on sense of coherence. Medical staff should take targeted measures to help caregivers improve their self-efficacy and social support system in order to improve their sense of coherence.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of miR-205-5p/E2F1 signal axis in regulating the glioma U251, U87 radiotherapy resistance.Methods:X-ray gradual ascending and intermittent induction method was used to irradiate the glioma U251 cells to establish U251/TR, U87/TR radiation-resistant cell lines. Then, the morphology, migration, invasion and proliferation abilities of cells (U251/TR, U87/TR radiation-resistant cells and U251, U87 radiation-sensitive cells) were analyzed. Luciferase gene detection system and point mutation technique were employed to analyze the mechanism of miR-205-5p and E2F1 gene activity on U251 and U87 radiation-resistant cell lines.Results:Compared with the radiation-sensitive U251 cells, the radiation-resistant cells U251/TR, U87/TR showed increased proliferation activity, enhanced migration and invasion abilities and decreased apoptosis under X-ray irradiation. miR-205-5p mimics transfection could down-regulate the expression of E2F1 factor in U251/TR cells, inhibit cell proliferation, invasion and migration and increase the radiosensitivity of U251/TR cells. miR-205-5p mimics transfection combined with with E2F1 down-regulation exerted anti-tumor effect and decreased cell tolerance by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activity.Conclusions:The glioma radiation-resistant cell line U251/TR, U87/TR can be established by X-ray gradual ascending and intermittent induction method. The miR-205-5p/E2F1 signal axis exerts tumor-suppressing effect through the classical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which can be used as an therapeutic target to increase the radiosensitivity of glioma.
