Objective:To explore the information behavior motivation of pregnant women with gestational diabetes and provide a basis for constructing an information behavior demand assessment system and health education strategies.Methods:Using the purpose sampling method, from December 2019 to February 2020, semi-structured interviews were conducted on 9 pregnant women with gestational diabetes and 11 pregnant women with gestational diabetes who were hospitalized in the obstetric outpatient department of our hospital, and used Colaizzi's 7-step analysis Methods classify and analyze the data, and extract themes.Results:The analysis extracted 6 themes, namely, information support in the whole process, information expectations, self-care information needs, information credibility, information judgment ability, and behavior change motivation.Conclusion:According to the motivation of information behavior change of pregnant women with gestational diabetes, appropriate educational methods are adopted to stimulate their effective information behavior practice, and targeted nursing care is provided for continuous health education needs.

Objective To study the relationship of serum visfatin level and coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods Eighty eight hospitalized patients were enrolled into the study and divided into CHD group(n = 62) and non-CHD control group(n = 26) according to the angiography results; the CHD group was further divided into single-, double-, multi-vessel affected groups. The serum level of visfatin was measured by ELISA,the lesion severity of coronary arteries was assessed by Gensini coronary scoring system, and the correlation between serum visfatin level and coronary lesion severity was evaluated statistically. Results The level of serum visfatin was significantly higher in CHD group than the control group([ 10. 77 ± 2. 63 ] μg/L vs. [ 7. 13 ± 2. 06 ]μg/L,P < 0. 05). The visfatin level increased along with the the number of stenosis vessels(P < 0. 05). The sermn visfatin levels of no stenosis, single-, double-, multi-vessel groups were(7. 13 ± 2. 06) μg/L,(9. 30±2. 19) μg/L,(10. 81 ± 2. 12) μg/L,(12. 79 ± 2. 20) μg/L respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between coronary lesion severity score and serum visfatin level(r = 0. 483, P < 0. 01). Conclusion The visfatin may be directly related to the initiation and development of coronary diseases. The higher level of serum visfatin was, the more severe coronary artery disease would be.

Cloning of flanking sequences of double-copy gene is a challenge in molecular biology. We developed a method to solve this problem by combining an optimized inverse PCR (iPCR) with TAIL-PCR. First, Southern blotting analysis was used to determine a proper restriction enzyme that could obtain proper-length restriction fragments that contained the target gene. Then optimized iPCR was performed to amplify the restriction fragments that contained the separated copies of the gene. Based on the obtained sequences, TAIL-PCR was performed to amplify further flanking regions of the gene. With this method, we obtained all of the EcoR I restriction fragments (2.2-5.1 kb) and Hind III restriction fragments (8.5-11.7 kb) of mitochondrial atpA gene in cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) line and maintainer line of Upland cotton. The results showed that this method was an efficient approach to clone flanking sequences of double-copy gene.
