Objective To determine the status of self-efficacy and self-care agency of the empty nest elderly patients in the community,and analyze their correlation. Methods A total of 320 empty nest elderly with chronic disease in Fushun, Liaoning Province. The General Information Questionnaire, Exercise of Self-Care Agency scale (ESCA) and the Chronic Disease Self-efficacy Scale were used to investigate the empty nest elderly with chronic disease in the community and analyze the present situation level of the self-care agency and the self-efficacy and the correlation between them. Results General data showed no significant difference between solitary empty-nest elderly and connubial empty-nest elderly (P>0.05). Solitary empty-nest elderly got (93.36 ± 13.49) points and (5.22 ± 0.62) points in ESCA and the Chronic Disease Self-efficacy Scale,which were lower than (98.10±11.34) points and (5.32±0.30) points of connubial empty-nest elderly, the difference was statistically significant (t=-0.866,-0.467, P<0.05). There was significantly positive correlation between self-efficacy and self-care agency (r=0.318, P<0.01). Conclusions There is positive correlation between self-efficacy and self-care agency. It is suggested to implement community-based nursing interventions to enhance their self-efficacy and to promote their self-care agency,there by to improve their quality of life .

Objective　To study the alterations of surfactant protein A (SP-A) and B (SP-B) in rats in the early stage of acute lung injury induced by oleic acid. Methods　An acute lung injury model was established by injecting oleic acid into the superior vena cava of rats and the levels of SP-A and SP-B in branchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were determined with Western Blot and ELISA. Results　The levels of SP-A and SP-B in BALF were significantly decreased in the injured group 1 h after acute lung injury (P<0.01) and remained low in the next 6 h. Conclusion　The levels of SP-A and SP-B were decreased in the early stage of acute lung injury. The methods used for detecting SP-A and SP-B we adopted are specific and sensitive, and might be helpful for other experimental study.

Establishment of bioassay methods is the technical issues to be faced with in the bioassay of Chinese materia medica. Taking the bioassay of Coptis chinensis Franch. as an example, the establishment process and application of the bioassay methods (including bio-potency and bio-activity fingerprint) were explained from the aspects of methodology, principle of selection, experimental design, method confirmation and data analysis. The common technologies were extracted and formed with the above aspects, so as to provide technical support for constructing pattern and method of the quality control for Chinese materia medica based on the dao-di herbs and bioassay.

Abstract?AIM: To comparatively analyze the efficacy and clinical value of cutting frontal muscular slap or not during frontalis aponeurosis flap suspension in treating congenital severe ptosis.?METHODS: Clinical data of 44 children ( 54 eyes ) with congenital severe ptosis treated in our hospital from May 2013 to October 2015 was retrospectively analyzed. Children included were divided into two groups according to the different ways of operation, observation group ( cutting frontal muscular slap ) and control group ( without cutting frontal muscular slap ) , 22 cases ( 27 eyes ) in each group. The general information, postoperative follow-up, eyelid closure and complication occurrence in two groups were compared.?RESULTS: The general information of the two groups had no statistical difference (P>0.05).After 1, 6mo, the cosmetic correction rate, the rate of overcorrection, and the rate of under correction in two groups had no statistical difference (P>0.05), but the activity of upper eyelid in observation group was bigger than that in control group (P<0.05).After 1, 6mo, the incomplete closure in two groups had no statistical difference ( P>0.05 ) , but eyelid fissure height in natural closed eyelids in control group was higher than that in observe group ( P<0.05 ).After 1mo, 2 eyes in control group were with abnormal feelings in frontal part, and 3 eyes in observation group.After 6mo, 2 eyes in control group were with abnormal feelings in frontal part, and 3 eyes in observation group.There were no complications such as exposure keratitis, eyelid margin deformity, infection, hematoma, and diplopia in two groups.?CONCLUSION: The total therapeutic effects of two different surgery procedures in treating severe congenital ptosis are quite similar.The surgery with cutting frontal muscular slap could improve the activity of upper eyelid and postoperative eyelid closure.

Objective To investigate and analyze the diagnostic significance of humoral and cellular immune function detection in the patients with syphilis.Methods Eighty-six cases of syphilis without anti-syphilis treatment in our hospital were selected as the research subjects(syphilis),including 26 cases of primary syphilis,39 cases of secondary syphilis 21 cases of latent syphilis,and 30 healthy subjects were selected as the control group.Then the humoral immunity and cellular immunity levels were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of IgG,IgA and IgM in the syphilis group were significantly increased compared with the control group(P<0.05).The IgG,IgA and IgM levels had no statistical difference between the primary syphilis patients and control group(P>0.05),which in the patients with secondary syphilis and latent syphilis were significantly increased compared with the control group,moreover the increase in the secondary syphilis was most significant(P<0.05);the CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and NK levels in different stages of syphilis were significantly decreased compared with the control group(P<0.05),while the CD8+ level was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05),in which the change in the secondary syphilis patients was most significant.Conclusion The humoral immune in the patients with syphilis is hyperfunction,while cellular immune is dysfunction,the patients present the overall immune function disorder,therefore the humoral and cellular immunity detection has a certain clinical value in the diagnosis of syphilis.
