Health literacy is the key factor that influences the public to understand health information and to make effective decision for their health and nursing. Papers on the association between health literacy and infectious dis-eases were thus retrieved from Medical Literature Database, PubMed and Nursing Database from 1999 to 2016 and the influence of health literacy on infectious diseases was analyzed, which showed that there were papers that repor-ted the knowledge and use of antibiotics, immunization for influenza and measles, sexual behavior-transmitted dis-ease and virus hepatitis with tuberculosis, malaria, hand sanitization and infectious diarrhea seldom involved, and that health literacy was associated with preventive measures.

Objective To investigate clinical features of alopecia areata such as sex, age, and subjective symptoms, and relationships between these factors and disease severity. Methods Clinical materials of patients who were diagnosed as alopecia areata were collected. The role of sex was analyzed in the disease and the correlation between disease severity and sex, age or psychological factors was analyzed. Results 118 patients including 101 cases of localized alopecia areata (AA), 5 alpecia totalis (AT) and 12 alopecia universalis (AU) were collected. The ratio of male to female was 1.2:1 and there was no correlation between sex and disease severity. The patients were from 1 to 76 years old while average age was 31.3?1.3 years, and that of the female patients was 28.9?1.9 and the male was 33.2?1.8; The median course was 2.5 months, while AA was 2 months, and AT/AU was 18 months; 14.4% patients (17/118), including 11 cases of AA and 6 AT/AU had subjective symptoms; 20.3% patients (24/118) had psychological factors before onset, 60.2% patients (71/118) had difficulties in sleeping, nail changes were found in 15.2% patients (18/118), and ocular symptoms were found in 5.9% patients (7/118), 5.9% patients (7/118) had family history, 3.4% patients (4/118) were accompanied by disease of thyroid gland, 1.7% patients (2/118) were accompanied by vitiligo, TGA and TMA levels elevated abnormally in 4.8% patients (3/62). Conclusion Alopecia areata often affects young to middle-aged people, and there is no correlation between sex and disease severity; Female patients are younger than male; A few patients are induced by psychological factors, and some accompanied by other autoimmune diseases. AT/AU is easier to have subjective symptoms than AA.

AIM:It is suggested that the peptidergic nerves containing substance P(SP),calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP),vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP),neuropeptide Y(NPY) and tyrosine hydroxylase(TOH) co-exist in bone tissues and distribute in the active bone metabolism area,indicating these peptidergic nerves are closely related with bone growth and development. In this study,the expression of neuropeptides in tibial callus of rats after brain injury was observed. METHODS:The experiment was conducted in the Experimental Animal Center of Guangxi Medical University from February to May 2007. ①130 male Wistar rats of 3-4 months old and 450-550 g were randomly divided into fracture group(n =60),brain injury plus fracture group(n =60) and control group(n =10). ②The right parietal bone of anesthetized rats was exposed,and bone window of 5 mm was opened 2 mm near median line,then moderate brain injury was made by sap pressure,and the rat models of tibial fracture were established. The fracture group was only subjected to cranial bone window,and the control group was not given any treatment. ③The distribution of neuropeptide in tibia and callus succession as well as fracture healing were observed by HE and immunohistochemical staining on postoperatively days 3,7,14,21,28,and 35 days. The callus area in brain injury plus fracture group and fracture group was detected by computed radiography(CR) at 14,21 and 28 days after operation. RESULTS:All 130 rats were involved in the result analysis. ①At early stage after brain injury,there were a quantity of fibrous callus and cartilaginous callus formation in brain injury and fracture group and many neuropeptides immunoreactive nerve fibers in callus were found. Strong immunoreactivites of CGRP,SP,VIP,NPY,TOH occurred to osteogenitor cells and chondroblast,which proliferated in thickened endothecium. ②In brain injury and fracture group on day 14,the chondrocyte group was enlarged and subperiosteum chondrocyte layer was thickened;on day 21,bone trabecula was significantly thickened,and cartilage islands were increased;on day 28,there were still quantity of fibrous callus and cartilaginous callus,and sparse woven bones surrounding chondrocyte groups. In fracture group,periosteal reaction was slight,and fibrous callus was few;osteogenesis in bone and cartilage occurred,but mainly in bone. Moreover,the fracture healing was remarkably later than brain injury and fracture group. ③Callus area in brain injury and fracture group was larger than that in fracture group on days 14 and 21(P
