Health education is not only the first step to health management,but also an important health intervention.It has an important significance for promoting the development of health management because it runs through the whole process of health management.However,because the health management has just started in our country,it faces many challenges when putting the health education into effect in the health management process.From the organizational structure,management system,resources,education content and method of the implementing body,this paper summarized eight problems existing in the implementation.This paper tried putting forward corresponding countermeasures,and hoped to be helpful to the further development of health education.

OBJECTIVE To find out the situation of the usage of antimicrobials in type Ⅰand type Ⅱ operations during perioperative period and to evaluate the rationality of use. METHODS To check 472 examples of medical record data of discharged patients with type Ⅰand type Ⅱ operations in each department during from Apr to Jun and from Aug to Oct 2006,and make statistics and analysis according to application rate of antibacterial drugs, examining rate of the samples, drug usage by experiences and postoperative infection rate. RESULTS The application rate of antibacterial drugs during perioperative period in our hospital was high;the examining rate of correlated samples was low;the choice of antibacterial drugs mainly depended on experience;the sensitivity of the chosen antibacterial drugs was not strong;the duration of prophylactic drug usage was too long;and the postoperative infection rate was high. CONCLUSIONS It is very important to strengthen standardized administration of prophylactic antibiotic usage during perioperative period in our hospital.

Ocular albinism type 1 (OA1),the most form of the ocular albinism,is an X-linked disorder mainly characterized by a severe reduction of visual acuity,hypopigmentation of the retina,photophobia,strabismus and nystagmus. The OA1 gene is located on chromosome Xp22.32 and the coding sequence is divided into nine exons. The OA1 gene codes for a 404 amino acid protein thought to be a melanosomal transmembrane glycoprotein. The OA1 protein is similar to the G protein-coupled receptors,but it's exact function is not clear. There are many mutations and deletions of the OA1 gene have been found.

Objective To explore the feasibility and reliability of laparoscopic assisted thyroidectomy. Methods A transversal 2.0 cm incision was made at the site 1.0 cm above the sternal notch. By using a harmonic scalpel under a 5 mm laparoscope, the thyroid glands and involving blood vessels were dealt with by either “coagulation-dissection-suction” technique or “dissection-coagulation-disconnection” technique to complete thyroid enucleation or lobectomy. Results There were 20 cases of adenoma (nodule) excision and 6 cases of unilateral lobectomy. The operation time was 80~130 min (mean, 100 min). The intraoperative blood loss was 10~40 ml (mean, 20 ml). No surgical complications occurred. Follow-up checkups in 23 cases for 1~)20 months (mean, 9 months) found a satisfactory cosmetic result and no recurrence. Conclusions Thyroidectomy under laparoscope is safe and reliable. This procedure offers a shorter incision, less invasion and better cosmetic results as compared with conventional thyroidectomy.

Objective To explore the safety and invasion of endoscopic thyroidectomy(ET).Methods A total of 156 cases of benign thyroid diseases were surgically treated from January 2003 to December 2005,including 64 cases of endoscopic thyroidectomy(Endoscopic Group) and 92 cases of traditional thyroidectomy(Traditional Group).The operation time,hemorrhage volume,length of incision,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) scores for pain severity and cosmetic appearance,analgesic requirements,postoperative hospital stay,hospitalization costs,wound infection rate,and recurrent rate were compared between the two groups,respectively.Results The operation was successfully completed in both of groups.No hemorrhage,hoarseness,or hypocalcemia was encountered.Wound hydrops occurred in 4 cases in the Traditional Group.As compared with the Traditional Group,the Endoscopic Group had less blood loss(15?10 ml vs 20?15 ml;t=-2.330,P=0.021),lower VAS pain scores(2.5?1.0 vs(5.0?)1.6;t=-11.079,P=0.000),higher VAS cosmetic scores(8.0?1.5 vs 2.0?1.2;t=27.696,P=0.000),and less analgesic requirements(10 cases vs 28 cases;?~2=4.493,P=0.034),but longer operation time(80?20 min vs 70?30 min;t=2.330,P=0.021) and higher hospitalization costs(5 352.7?978 yuan vs 4 738.5?672 yuan;t=4.651,P=0.000).Follow-up observations for 2~30 months(mean,13 months) revealed recurrence in 2 cases in the Endoscopic Group and 3 cases in the Traditional Group.Conclusions As compared with traditional operation,endoscopic thyroidectomy has advantages of minimal invasion,early recovery,short hospitalization time,and high safety,being an ideal option for benign thyroid diseases.

ObjectiveTo explore the distribution of sodium pump α-subunit isoforms at both mRNA and protein level in normal Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats. MethodsWith RT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) and immunohistochemical assay, sodium pump α1-, α2-, andα3-subunit isoforms were detected at mRNA level and protein level in the myocardium, liver, kidney, adrenal gland, aortic smooth muscle, pituitary and hypothalarnus in normal rats. ResultsSodium pump α1-, α2-, and α3-subunit isoforms distribute in a tissue-specific fashion in normal SD rats. α1 and α2 are the main isoforms and α3 is much less in myocardium. α1 is more than α2 or α3 isoform at mRNA level in liver, while all of α1-,α2-, and α3-isoform are less expressed at protein level. α1-isoform is abundantly but α2 and α3 are less expressed both at mRNA and protein levels in kidney. α2isoform is just more than α1 and α3 isoforms in aortic smooth muscle. All of three isoforms are expressed abundantly in pituitary. α2 and α3 are more and α1 is less expressed in hypothalamus. ConclusionThe results of this study have revealed the distribution of sodium pump α-subunit isoforms at both mRNA and protein level in normal SD rats, which might be helpful for the further studying the physiologic and pathologic roles of sodium pump.
