Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2011;27(16):9-11
Objective The study aims to assess the health education effects of popular scientific brochure with pictures on infant vulvovaginitis. Methods Parents of female child outpatients aged 0~5 years old with vulvovaginitis of our hospital were selected for health education, mainly about how to prevent vulvovaginitis. Popular scientific brochure with pictures was designed for use. Eighty six parents of female child patients aged 0~5 with vulvovaginitis were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 43 people in each group. In the control group, health brochures were issued and face-to-face guidance were carried out. In the observation group, popular scientific brochures with pictures were issued and faceto-face guidance were carried out Phone call investigations were done 4-8 weeks after issuing of education materials. Results Awareness rate, vulvovaginitis cure rate of their female child and satisfaction rate to education method of the observation group were significantly higher than the control group. Conclusions Health education guidance in form of popular scientific brochure with pictures can get more satisfactory effects.
5.Research progress of radiation pneumonitis
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(11):849-852
Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is one of the most common toxicities in patients with lung cancer treated by radiotherapy,which limits the delivered dose and may thus hampers tumor control,then lowers the patients,life quality.Based on the progress of molecular biology,RP may be regarded as a continuous progression of events induced by various cytokines involving numerous cells.Researches on gene polymorphisms indicate different mechanisms in the pathogenesis of RP among different races.Besides,more studies focus on the predictive value of dosimetric parameters such as V20、mean lung dose(MLD) and biological markers such as transforming growth factor-β ( TGF-β1 ).Decreasing use of drugs which may exacerbate RP and increasing use of modern treatments may be beneficial in the prevention.Meanwhile as the respect of drug prevention,more and more emphases are being placed on the target molecule of radiation-induced injury.
6.Influencing factors of pharmacotherapy effect of ectopic pregnancy and nursing
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2012;28(4):40-41
Objective To explore the influencing factors of pharmacotherapy effect of ectopic pregnancy and nursing measures. Methods 569 patients with ectopic pregnancy using pharmacotherapy were retrospectively analyzed in our department. Results Among 569 patients,423 patients gained successful treatment,while 146 patients failed the treatment.Blood β-HCG level,diameter of ectopic mass showed by B ultrasound were influencing factors of pharmacotherapy effect.The higher β-HCG level,the longer diameter of ectopic mass showed by B ultrasound,the lower success rate of pharmacotherapy.The patients with β-HCG<1000 mIu/ml,diameter of ectopic mass showed by B ultrasound less than 1 cm at admission acquired higher success rate of pharmacotherapy. Conclusions Patients with ectopic pregnancy who select conservative medication should be given pertinent psychological nursing,rigorous monitoring of disease condition and adverse reaction of drugs and timely and effective nursing measures,so that patients can get better nursing effect.
7.Analysis of the relationship between infants with asthma and food allergens
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2012;19(2):181-182
Objective To explore the correlation of infants with asthma and food allergens,to povide the basis for early prevent the development of asthma.Methods The U-niCAP-100 automatic detection system was used to check the common food allergens in serum of 79 infants with asthma and 68 healthy children of the same age.Results The positive rate of serum total IgE in the group of asthma was 64.6%,significantly higher than the healthy group (45.6%)(P<0.01).The positive rate of serum SIgE was showed that:the mainly food allergens of the asthma group was milk(63.2%)and whole egg(26.3%)which were,significantly higher than the healthy group(36.8%,14.7%)(P < 0.01 and P < 0.05).Conclusion Asthma of infant had close relation with the food allergens.Early avoid food allergens had an important role in preventing the development in low-age children with asthma.
8.Ageing-induced changes of peripheral benzodiazepine receptors in rat spinal cord synaptosoms
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2013;(5):561-563
Objective To investigate the changes of peripheral benzodiazepine receptors (PBRs)in rat spinal cord synaptosomes during ageing and to explore the correlation between PBRs in spinal cord synaptosomes and PBRs on platelet membranes.Methods A total of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3-month group and 24-month group (n=6 males and 6 females for each).All animals were sacrificed by decapitation and the spinal cords were immediately removed.Synaptosomal fractions from spinal cords were isolated by gradient centrifugation.The platelet membranes were prepared from venous blood by the method of hypotonic haemolysis.The specific binding of the radioactive PBRs antagonist [3H]PK11195 to membranes was determined.Results No significant differences in [3H] PK11195 binding activity in spinal cords and platelet membranes were observed between male and female rats in the same group (all P>0.05).[3H] PK11195 binding activity in spinal cords and platelet membranes were higher in 3-month group than in 24 month group [(213.94±10.65) fmol/mg pro.vs.(50.65± 2.74) fmol/mg pro.,(104.97± 2.24) fmol/mg pro.vs.(56.20±5.36) fmol/mg pro.,respectively,t=51.418,29.041,both P< 0.001].There was a positive correlation between [3H]PK11195 binding activity in platelet membranes and in spinal cord synaptosomes (r=0.985,P<0.001).Conclusions The level of PBRs is gradually decreased in rat spinal cord synaptosomes with ageing.[3H] PK11195 binding activity of platelet membranes can reflect the changes of PBRs in spinal cords.
9.The effects of functional activities on osteogenesis in the elderly
Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2013;35(8):643-645
Objective To evaluate the osteogenic potential of selected exercises and determine which one has the greatest value for the elderly.Methods Twenty healthy old subjects were recruited in the study.Each subject performed the following four exercises in random order:stepping onto a 4-in riser (STEP),sit-to-stand (STS),jumping (JUMP) and marching (MARCH).The subjects performed successively each of the 4 exercises for 1 minute,with an interval of 3 minutes between each.The Vicon action capture system was used to record the peak ground reaction of the subjects during their exercises.The osteogenic index (OI) was calculated by the formula:OI=peak GRF/ (body weight×9.8) × In (number of loading cycles±1).Results JUMP and MARCH had superior OI value (7.52 ±2.06,6.51 ±1.59) than STEP (5.22 ±0.63) among the4 exercises (P<0.05).STS was found to have the lowest OI (2.23 ± 0.42) in the elderly.There was no significant correlation between the height and OI in JUMP and MARCH (P >0.05).Conclusion STEP and MARCH had the higher OI value and could be deemed as the better ways to induce positive effects on bone health in the elderly population.
10.Application of nutritional screening tools in pediatrics
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;(4):431-433,438
Malnutrition has traditionally been regarded as a global concern,especially in the developing countries. Malnutrition seems more prevalent in hospitalized patients, with potentially serious consequences, it may increase susceptibility to infection and mortality and lengthen the stays in hospital,which lead to additional health care costs. Along with the development of the screening tools,it plays an increasingly important role in the nutritional problems in adults. Recently several nutritional screening tools have been applied in pediatrics,but the lack of the universal acceptable tools is still a problem demanding prompt solution. This review aims to compare the nutritional screening tools that are currently available in clinic and their drawbacks in daily work.
