Objective To explore the effects of empowerment education model on glycemic control and self-management behavior of community patients with diabetes. Method A total of 120 diabetics from 2 different communities were set as the observation group and control group. The control group was treated by routine medications and health education and the observation group was intervened with empowerment education model. After intervention for 6 months, the patients′blood glucose index and the diabetes self-management behavior were assessed and compared by scale of the diabetes self-care activities (SDSCA) between the two groups. Result By the end of the study, the glycemic index and SDSCA score in the former group were both significantly decreased than those in the control group (P<0.05), indicating the patients in the experiment group had better glycemic control and self-management behaviors compared with those in the control group. Conclusions Empowerment education model can arouse the internal motivation of patients to change their behaviors from passive to active acceptance in the health education. Empowerment education model can enhance diabetes patients′self-management conduct and the glycemic level.

For the safety problems of internal medicine intravenous infusion,we carry out meticulous management,establish quality control system of intravenous infusion safety management,and formulate quality control plan.We collect and analyse the potential unsafety factors in the various departments of internal medicine.We have revised the intravenous infusion system and procedures,formulated standards for safety inspection of intravenous fluids,and standardized the admission system for nurses.We carry out training on intravenous infusion related knowledge for nursing staff,carry out meticulous management of venous transfusion links,and actively carry out learning and communication.All these measures have greatly enhanced the safety awareness of the nursing staff.The safety index of intravenous infusion for liver diseases was preliminarily summarized.The use rate of the safe indwelling needle was increased from 30.60％ to 92.30％,the rate of appropriate rate of drop speed increased from 68.45％ to 93.20％,the three sign standard rate rose from 75.20％ to 95.10％,and the patient's satisfaction with infusion increased from 85.60％ to 96.82％.Meticulous management can improve the safety of the internal medicine intravenous infusion as a whole.

At present, the prevention and control of new coronavirus has entered a critical period. However, the use of quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assays for the detection of viral nucleic acid, as a crucial diagnostic approach, has been doubted in clinical practice. Herein, we have reviewed the current status of epidemic prevention and control, latest development of detection technologies, disease characteristics, clinical sampling and transport. We have also discussed the factors that may affect the performance of viral nucleic acid detection, and suggested some effective methods to improve the detection performance of the assays.

As one of the two methods for 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), gene sequencing is different from quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR) in detection principles. Therefore, gene sequencing has its own pros and cons in clinical application. Currently, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is the most commonly used technology in clinical application.Due to its broad coverage of all types of pathogens, mNGS demonstrates incomparable advantage in rapid identification of novel pathogens such as 2019-nCoV. In addition, it can simultaneously identify other pathogens except 2019-nCoV and mixed infections. On the other hand, however, due to the complexity of mNGS and long detection time, it is unlikely to achieve the purpose of wide-range and rapid diagnosis of 2019 n-CoV. Therefore, mNGS can complement RT-PCR to achieve best clinical application.
