1.DNA methylation and asthma
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(3):177-179
Bronchial asthma,a complex genetic disease,is influenced by environmental factors.As a connection of genetic susceptibility factors and environmental factors,the role of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma is attracting more attention.DNA methylation,the most common form of epigenetic modifi-cations,can be influenced by the environment and dietary factors,thereby have an effect on the differentiation of CD4 +T lymphocyte,promoting the development of asthma.

Objective To explore the test-retest reliability and correlations of the light-dark box (LDB).MethodsThe behavior of mice in LDB was recorded twice, for five minutes,with a one-week inter-trial interval.Following parameters were evaluated:latency time for the first entry into the dark area (Latence); percentage of time exploring in the light area ( Ltime% ); percentage of squares crossing in the light area ( Lcross% ); total number of squares crossing ( Cross ); percentage of rears in the light area ( Lrear% ); total number of rears (Rear); total score (Total); transitions between two areas (Transition); and number of fecal boli (Fbi). Subsequently,the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the Kappa agreement coefficient (Kappa) and the Pearson correlation coefficient (Pearson) were calculated for these parameters. Results ①ICC for Lrear% ( ICC =0.5207, P<0.01 ) showed a fair reliability. ②Kappa for all parameters indicated a poor reliability. ③Pearson displayed weak negative correlations between Transition and Ltime% ( Pearson = - 0.4030, P < 0.05; Pearson =- 0. 1490, P> 0. 05 ), Lcross% ( Pearson = - 0. 4331, P > 0. 05; Pearson = - 0.1893, P > 0.05 ), Lrear% ( Pearson = - 0. 4485, P < 0. 05; Pearson = 0. 02845, P > 0. 05 ), however, fair positive correlations between Transition and Cross (Pearson =0. 8603, P<0.01; Pearson =0.6341, P<0. 01 ) ,Rear(Pearson =0.4271, P>0. 05;Pearson = 0. 7245, P < 0. 001 ). Conclusion Rear is found to be stable over time, and indicated a fair reliability.There is a weak negative correlation between Transition and Ltime%, Lcross%, Lrear%, but fair positive correlations between Transition and Cross, Rear.

Objective To find a new method for quality control of polysaccharides by establishing the fingerprint profiles of polysaccharides extracted from Guifu Dihuang Wan. Methods The polysaccharides extracted from Guifu Dihuang Wan were hydro-lyzed partially under appropriate hydrolysis condition with acid,and the fingerprint profiles of the hydrolyzates was obtained by HPLC. Microsoft Excel 2002 was applied for calculating the similarity of fingerprint profiles,and informatton analysis of these profiles was performed by a software for evaluating fingerprint profiles of traditional Chinese medicine. Results Fingerprint profiles of the hydroly-zates of polysaccharides from 10 of Guifu Dihuang Wan products,produced by different manufacturers,were obtained. It was observed that the similarity of eight products was greater than 0.99,while the similarity of the other two was 0.92 and 0.94,respectively. Con-clusion This method is technically feasible for the quality control of polysaccharides from Guifu Dihuang Wan.
5.Effects of focus intervention mode based on WeChat on self-efficacy and subjective well-being of nurses
Modern Clinical Nursing 2017;16(4):58-62
Objective To explore the role of focus intervention mode in improving the self-efficacy and subjective well-being of newly-contracted nurses. Methods A total of 100 nurses selected as the survey subjects by means of convenient sampling method, were numbered consecutively and divided into observation group and control group by random digit number table. The observation group was intervened with conventional mental consultation and the observation group with the WeChat-based focus intervention mode, which included the use of past-oriented questions and answers for understanding their strength and sources, future-oriented presuppositions and miracle-oriented questions for their thinking of resolutions to future problems. The two groups were compared in terms of general self-efficacy and well-being by the general self-efficacy scale (GSES) and the overall well-being scale (GWB). Results Before intervention , the total scores on GSES and GWB of the observation groups were insignificantly higher than those of the control group (P > 0.05). After intervention, the scores of observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion The We-Chat-based focus intervention mode can effectively improve the self-efficacy and subjective well-being of newly-contracted nurses.

Objective To evaluate effect of intervention on acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS) high-risk sexual behavior of males who have sex with males(MSM)population in Jilin,and to provide a basis for establishing apropriate intervention strategy for this population.Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out on the MSM population of young students with the method of classification.Comprehensive intervention strategy included health education via new media,behavioral intervention,voluntary conseling and testing,peer education,condom promotion and standardized services for clinic of sexually transmitted diseases(STDs)and other comprehensive interventions.Before and after intervention,300 MSM were enrolled,and their demographic characteristics,knowledge of AIDS prevention and control,high risk behaviors and intervention measures were investigated and analyzed.Results Before and after the intervention,the awareness rate of AIDS related knowledge was 67.67% and 94.33%,respectively,the condom usage rate was 23.57% and 11.79% in the most recent and the last 6 months before the intervention,and it was 76.21% and 62.10 % after the intervention,respectively.The proportion for those who used condom every time in heterosexual sex behavior was increased from 23.53% (before intervention) to 69.60 % (after intervention),and the condom usage rate in the last 6 months was increased from 15.44% to 66.40%.Proportion of the MSM who had STDs related symptoms was decreased from 21.33% to 7.67% after the intervention.Conclusion After the comprehensive intervention,the awareness rate of AIDS related knowledge among MSM in Jilin is significantly increased,the incidence of highrisk sexual behavior is decreased and the condom usage rate is improved.Intervention by use of new media is low-cost,easy to operate,and can be used as a good supplementary strategy for traditional behavioral intervention.

The most radiation exposure for children arises from the medical process, and due to their characteristics such as relatively immature,organ development,they are more sensitive to the radiation than a-dults,and have higher risk of radiation related diseases,so medical radiation exposure should not be ignored.

Objective To realize scientific allocation of medical monitors in clinical departments by evaluating quantitatively their social and economic benefits.Methods Analyses were executed on social and economic benefit indexes,including number or times of patients involved,utility time,volatility of utilization rate (VOUR),payback period and investment yield.Results Totally 457 monitors were involved in the study from January to June 2015,and the monitors had the number or times of patients being 20,utility time being 383 h,VOUR lower than 10% (except that of February),mean payback period being 0.64 a and yearly mean investment yield being 137%.Conclusion The monitor has to be allocated by the equipment division in case of low social benefit.In case of high social benefit while low economic benefit,the monitor manufactured in China gains advantages due to short payback period,high investment yield and long free warranty time.The foreign monitor with specific function has to be selected in case of high social and economic benefits as well as requirements on special function.
