ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of health education and psychological intervention on quality of life of patients with asthma.MethodsNinety-six patients with bronchial asthma were assigned to the treatment group and the control group. The participants in the treatment group were treated with routine therapy and health education and psychological intervention.Results The awareness of bronchial asthma,self monitoring of health condition,and simple strategies to treat acute or serious asthma were improved in the treatment group. The overall effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (93.75％ vs 62.5％,P ＜0.01 ),and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1),peak expiratory flow (PEF) and ACT score were significantly improved (all P ＜ 0.01 ).Moreover,episode of bronchial asthma was significantly reduced after the combined intervention (P ＜0.01 ).ConclusionHealth education and psychological intervention may contribute to effective prevention and treatment of asthma,improved quality of life of patients,and reduced family and social economic burden.

Objective To explore the effects of lactational maternal stress on neurobehavioral development of offsprings.Methods Maternal mice were divided into normal control,maternal deprivation and maternal stress group.A 5-min/day cold water swimming was used as maternal stress for continuously of 14 day since the 7th postnatal day.The increasing bodyweight and neurobehavior of adolescent offspring mice were assessed by forced swimming test,tail suspension test and locomotor activity in the 35th postnatal day.Results Maternal chronic stress in lactational stage significantly increased the vulnerability of offspring to acute stress,which was reflected by significantly increased immobility time of adolescent offspring in forced swimming test (female:(139±6) s,(138±9) s,(96±9) s respectively; male:(139±9) s,(112±9) s,(96±9) s respectively) and in tail suspension test (femal:(127±8) s,(123±8) s,(98±6) s respectively ; male:(141 ±7) s,(105±5) s,(92±6) s respectively).Meanwhile,sexual difference occurred for adolescent offspring to acute stress,and the female offspring were more vulnerable to acute stress.Conclusion Lactational maternal stress may be important factors for development of adolescent depression.Our findings highlight the area of early prevention and intervention for adolescent depression.

Objective To do a hygienic assessment for the preservation time of barreled drinking water. Methods 40 kinds of barreled drinking water samples, all passed the water quality test, were collected from the market in summer and autumn respectively. Each sample was put into a sterile bottle and then taken into the laboratory in 2 hours to detect the microorganism indicators in 0 day, 5 days, 10 days, 15 days and 20 days periodically. Results The qualified rate of microorganism indexes reached 100% in 10 days. As for total bacteria count, 97.5% exceeded the hygiene standard limit,the detected rate of fungi and yeast were 17.5% and 12.5% in 15 days, and 100% exceeded the standard limit,the detected rate of fungi and yeast were 30.0% and 22.5% in 20 days in summer. The qualified rate of microorganism indexes reached 100% in 20 days in autumn. Conclusion Barreled drinking water is safe for drinking in 10 days in summer and in 20 days in autumn.

Objective To evaluate the utility of carbapenem inactivation method (CIM) in detecting carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii.Methods A total of 121 strains of A. baumannii were identified and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing by VITEK compact. Carbapenem inactivation method (CIM) was applied to detect the carbapenemase in the A. baumannii strains. The OXA-23 type carbapenemase-encoding genes were analyzed by common PCR method.Results Six-eight of the 121 strains showed resistance to imipenem and meropenem. PCR showed that 65 of the 68 strains carried OXA-23 gene. CIM was positive in 66 of the 68 strains. And 52 of the 121A. baumannii strains were susceptible to imipenem and meropenem. PCR showed that OXA-23 gene was negative in 49 of the 52 strains. CIM was negative in the 52 strains of non-carbapenemase-producing A. baumannii. Only one strain was resistant to imipenem but susceptible to meropenem. CIM was negative but QXA-23 was positive for this strain. The sensitivity and the specificity of CIM was 94.2% and 98.1% respectively in detecting carbapenemase-producing A. baumannii.Conclusions The results of CIM were consistent with the results obtained by PCR to detect the encoding gene of OXA-23. CIM is inexpensive, easier to operate and interpret than PCR method. CIM is applicable to detect OXA-23 type carbapenemase rapidly inA. baumannii.

Objective To explore the clinical results of minimally invasive therapy for femoral intertrochanteric fractures with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA) in 25 elderly patients.Methods A total of 25 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were treated by PFNA in our hospital from February 2007 to June 2008.The patients received close reduction and minimal invasive operation.Based upon the Tronzo-Evans classification,type Ⅰ fractures were diagnosed in 2 cases,type Ⅱ fractures in 2 cases,type Ⅲ in 16,and type Ⅳ in 5.Results The mean operation time in this series was 50.3 min(30-70 min),an the mean intraoperative blood loss was 100.2 ml(70-200 ml).All the 25 patients completed a follow-up of 3 to 12 months(average time 7.1 months),during which all the fractures healed in 10 to 14 weeks with a mean of 11 weeks,without occurrence of varus deformity,hardware loosening or hardware cutting.According to the Harris Hip Score,20 cases achieved excellent results,4 were good,and 1 was fair. Conclusions It is a reliable and ideal method to treat intertrochanteric fractures with PFNA in elderly patients,for the procedure is convenient and minimally invasive,resulting in firm fixation,less blood loss,short operation time,and high healing rate.

Objective To explore the change and its clinical significance of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S-100? in serum and hippocampus tissue in rats with epilepsy induced by Kainic acid (KA).Methods 180 Wistar rats were randomly classified into control, KA and carbamazepine (CBZ) group, and the later two groups were further divided into 6 sub-groups (1 h, 4 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h ) according to epileptic attack at different time point. The NSE and S-100? concentrations in serum and homogenate of hippocampus were determined by radioimmunity assay (RIA) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively.Results The concentrations of NSE and S-100? were dynamic change during 72 h after epileptic attack in serum and hippocampus homogenate, and the changes were synchronous. The concentrations reached peak at 12 h. Both NSE and S-100? concentrations in KA and CBZ group were obviously higher than those in control group ( P

Objective:To evaluate the ability of calcium hydroxide removal using different irrigation methods and the effect on canal sealing.Methods:200 human single root canal premolar teeth were prepared.Divided the teeth randomly into 2 groups(each group 96 teeth,8 as control),one group filled with chemical calcium hydroxide and another filled with finished product calcium hydroxide.7 days after,divided each groups randomly into 6 subsets and remove the calcium hydroxide in the root canal(table1).Then each subset group choose 8 teeth randomly,observed by scanning electron microscope.Other specimens were obturated by lateral condensation of cold gutta-percha with a AH-Plus sealer,stained by Indian ink and then made into transparent teeth model.Results:At the same condition,there was no significant difference between group A and group B;the results of groups associated with ultrasonic were better than groups with injection syringe.The rinse solution EDTA was the best,distilled water was the worse.Dye penetration showed that the length of dye staining was no significant difference among all groups.Conclusion:Ultrasonic and sodium hypochlorite associate EDTA is the best method to remove the calcium hydroxide.But none of the methods and rinse solution used in this experiment can remove all of the calcium hydroxide.The calcium hydroxide remained influence on the root canal sealer is not predominance.
