Objective To assess the effect of transitional empowerment education on the quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to analyze the factors affecting the quality of life, so as to pro-vide clinicians with information on effective intervention strategy. Methods From January 2015 to June 2016, 155 IBD patients were randomly divided into traditional care group (n=78) and transitional empowerment educa-tion group (n=77). The patients in the traditional care group received clinic outpatient follow-up, and the patients in the transitional empowerment education group received follow-up led by IBD management team. IBD patients in the two groups were investigated with self-management ability questionnaire, self-efficacy scale, and quality of life questionnaire before discharge and the six month after intervention. Results After the sixth month, the total scores on self-management ability (t=7.219, P=0.000), self-efficacy (t=2.845, P=0.005) and quality of life (t=7.705, P=0.000) in the transitional empowerment education group were higher than those of the traditional care group. Conclusion The transitional empowerment education can improve self-management ability, self-efficacy, quality of life of IBD patients.

Objective To study the chest radiographic appearances of the non-tuberculous mycobacterial(NTM) pulmonary infection in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).Methods Ten patients with AIDS and NTM underwent chest X-ray radiography and 7 patients performed high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan. Chest radiographic features of NTM in patients with AIDS were retrospectively analyzed. Results The chest radiograph showed bilateral pulmonary involvement in 6 cases and single lung involvement in 4 cases (3 cases in the right, 1 case in the left). Patchy air space consolidation (6 cases), large consolidation (5 cases), cavitation (5 cases), small nodules (3 cases),military nodules (2 cases), linear opacity ( 1 cases) were demonstrated on radiography. On HRCT, air space consolidation (7 cases), small nodules (6 cases), large consolidation (5 cases) with cavitation and cylindric bronchiectasis after the absorption of consolidation, enlarged hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes (4 cases), ground-glass opacities (3 cases), military nodules and "tree-in-bud" sign (2 case), pleural effusion ( 1 case), pericardial effusion ( 1 case) and fibrotic band ( 1 case) were found. Conclusion The most common radiographic appearances of NTM in patients with AIDS are bilateral small nodules, large consolidation with cavitation and cylindric bronchiectasis, enlarged hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes.

Objective To manifest the imaging appearances of the pulmonary mucormycesis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS).Methods The radiographic and hiish resolution computed lomography(HRCT)features of the pulmonary mucormycosis in 13 patients with AIDS were retrospectively analyzed.Results On radiography,the infiltrative lesions were found in 5 patients,7 cases had reticular pattem,4 cages had pleural effusion,4 cages had enlarged hilar and mediagtinal lymph nodes,3 cases had diffuse milliary lesions,3 Cages had masses,2 cases had ground-slags shadows,2 cages had cystic lesions,cavity,pleural thickening,pericardia]effusion and focal pneumothorax Wag presented in 1 cage respectively.On HRCT,7 cages had enlarged mediagtinal lymph nedes,7 cages had interlobular septal thickening,the infiltrative lesion were found in 6 patients,5 cages had diffuse milliary lesions,4 cages had pleural effusion,3 cases had inasses,2 cages had ground-glass shadows,2 cases had cystic lesions,cavity,pleural thickening,focal bronchiectagis,pericardial effusion and focal pneumothorax was presented in 1 case respectively.Conclusion The main imaging appearances of the pulmonary mucormycesis in patients with AIDS include diffuse milliary lesion,enlarged hilar and mediagtinal lymph node,interiobular septal thickening,infiltrative lesion,pleural effusion and mass.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination of fatty acids in Isaria cicadae,Cordyceps militaris and C.sinensis,and to compare the difference of the contents of fatty acids among above medicinal herbs.METHODS:GC-MS method was adopted.Chromatographic condition:the determination was performed on TG-5MS gas phase capillary column with carrier gas of nitrogen at the flow rate of 1.2 mL/min.The inlet temperature was 290 ℃ by splitlesssampling;valve opening time was 1 min,and volume of sample was 1 μL.Mass spectrometry condition:the ion source is an electrospray ionization source.The temperatures of ion source and transmission line were 280 ℃,the initial temperature of the chromatographic column was 80 ℃ (gradient elution),ionization voltage was 70 eV.Solvent delay time was 5 min,and scan mass range was m/z 30-400.RESULTS:The linear ranges of tetradecanoic acid,pentadecanoic acid,palmitic acid,palmitoleic acid,heptadecanoic acid,heptadecenoic acid,docosahexaenoic acid,methyl oleate,linoleic acid,arachidonic acid,eicosenoic acid,diolefinic acid,eicosatrienoic acid,heneicosanoic acid,behenic acid,tricosanoic acid,lignoceric acid were 1.400-44.520 μg/mL(r=0.999 8),2.091-93.721 μg/mL(r=0.999 7),3.146-85.856 μg/mL(r=0.998 2),1.664-61.444 g/rnL(r=0.998 7),1.773-64.983 g/mL(r=0.999 5),1.781-68.421 μg/ mL (r=0.999 7),1.706-55.606 μg/mL (r=0.999 8),1.439-47.989 μg/mL (r=0.999 6),1.738-66.908 μg/mL (r=0.999 6),2.086-94.206 μg/mL(r=0.999 5),1.356-44.966 μg/mL(r=0.999 4),1.444-56.814 μg/mL(r=0.999 7),1.375-52.335 μg/mL(r =0.999 8),1.512-60.312 μg/mL(r=0.999 5),1.450-59.760 μg/mL(r=0.999 7),1.427-58.757 μg/mL(r=0.999 1),1.269-58.109 μg/ mL(r=0.999 3),respectively.The limit of quantitation was no more than 1 764.71 μg/mL,and the limit of detection was no more than 529.42 μg/mL.RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2.0%.The recoveries were 84.87%-108.93% (RSD ranged 0.19%-2.23%,n=6).There were 17 fatty acids in C.militaris,16 fatty acids in Ⅰ.cicadae and 16 fatty acids in C.sinensis.The contents of unsaturated fatty acids in above medicinal herbs were higher than that of saturated fatty acids.The content of fatty acids in artificial cultivated Ⅰ.cicadae was mostly higher than other medicinal herbs.COCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate,stable and reproducible.It can be used for simultaneous determination of fatty acids in I.cicadae,C.militaris and C.sinensis.Above 3 kinds of medicinal materials.From the perspective of fatty acid content,the quality of artificial cultivated I.cicadae is best.
