Objective To evaluate the quality of life and care needs of hospitalized AIDS patients and analyze the relationship between them to provide basis for clinic nurses' helping patients to improve the quality of life. Methods We adopted the general information questionnaire, patient care needs assessment questionnaire, as well as the World Health Organization Quality of life Scale (WHOQOL)and used cluster sampling method to make face to face interviews with 36 hospitalized AIDS patients. Results The care needs of the 36 AIDS patients were at a high level,all areas of quality of life were lower than the norm. The quality of life of hospitalized AIDS patients was negatively correlated with the care needs. Conclusions Clinic nursing staffs should understand and assess the care needs of patients initiatively and take appropriate measures to improve quality of life of hospitalized AIDS patients.

Objective To discuss the effect of Cordyceps sinensis liquid on Diabetic Nephropathy renal tubular epithelial cell transdifferentiation.Methods Diabetic Nephropathy renal tubular epithelial cells were treated with different dose of Cordyceps sinensis liquid and high glucose,and divided into five groups.Control group was added 5.5 mmol/L D-glucose,High glucose group was added 30 mmol/L D-glucose, Experimental group 1 was added 30 mmol/L D-glucose and 5μg/mL Cordyceps sinensis liquid,Experimental group 2 was added 30 mmol/L D-glucose and 10 μg/mL Cordyceps sinensis liquid,Experimental group 3 was added 30 mmol/L D-glucose and 20 μg/mL Cordyceps sinensis liquid.The expression of E-cadherin protein,FN protein,α-SMA protein and ILK protein in each group were detected by western blot. Results Compared with control group,the expression of E-cadherin protein in high glucose was decreased significantly(P<0.01),and with the addition of Cordyceps bacteria increases,E-cadherin protein expression in three Experiment group were gradually increased(P<0.01).Compared with control group,the expression ofα-SMA protein and FN protein in High glucose group were increased significantly (P <0.01 ),and both two protein in Experiment group 2 and Experiment 3 were significantly lower than High glucose group(P<0.01).Compared with control group,the expression of ILK protein in high glucose group was significantly higher(P<0.01 ),and its expression in Experiment group 3 was significantly lower than High glucose group (P<0.01 ). Conclusion Cordyceps sinensis liquid can inhibit diabetic nephropathy renal tubular epithelial cell translating into myofibroblast,then inhibit renal tubule interstitial fibrosis.

Objective There were few studies of prediction on type 2 diabetic patients with acute pulmonary thromboembo?lism.To evaluate the performance of the Padua score, revised Geneva score and Wells PE score in the prediction value of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus with acute pulmonary thromboembolism( APTE) . Methods 151cases with suspected APTE of type 2 diabe?tes were collected from January 2013 to December 2015 by a retrospective case analysis mode. Among 151 pations,80 cases had diag?nosed with pulmonary thromboembolism.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the probability of type 2 diabetic patients with APTE predicted by the Padua, the revised Geneva and the Wells PE score. We calculated the Youden Index for the cut?off point. Results The area under curve( AUC) of the ROC curve in the Padua score, revised Geneva score and Wells PE score for APTE was 0.804±0.035、0.635±0.045 and 0.705±0.043. The area under the ROC curve of the Padua score was the highest and there was a significant difference compared with the revised Geneva( P<0.016 7) . The comparison of Padua score and Wells PE for the predication value was no statistically significant difference ( P>0.016 7) . The comparison of revised Geneva score and Wells PE for the predication value was no statistically significant difference ( P>0.016 7) . The cut?off of Padua score was 3 points and Youden Index was 0.51. The cut?off of Revised Geneva was 3 points and Youden In?dex was 0.24. The cut?off of Wells PE score was 1 points and Youden Index was 0.39. Conclusion Padua score, revised Geneva score and Wells PE score in predicting diabetes patients have some ex?tent clinical value terms, which Padua score has higher predictive value than the Revised Geneva.The predictive value of Padua score and Wells PE score was equivalent.However, the predictive value of Padua score is limited.

Objective To investigate the fall efficacy of elderly people in nursing homes and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 174 elderly people in 8 nursing homes in Fujian province were recruited by convenience sampling method. They were investigated with a self-designed questionnaire about the demographic data, the Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES) and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Results The mean score of fall efficacy was 7.81±1.15, which revealed a middle level. The score of get dressed and undressed scored 9.04 ±1.42, which was the highest, while the score of using public transport scored 5.80 ±3.21, which was the lowest. Multiple regression analysis showed that the mental health status, degree of self care, age were influencing factors of fall efficacy of elderly people. Conclusions The fall efficacy level of 174 elderly people is at medium level, which is different among fall efficacy with mental health status, degree of self care, age. Individualized interventions should be designed and provided for them.

Fosfomycin (FOM) is an antibiotic with a small relative molecular weight (138.1) and a long half-life, and has a unique chemical structure and antibacterial mechanisms. It exerts a bactericidal activity by inhibiting the early synthesis of bacterial cell walls. It is also a broad-spectrum antibiotic with a good drug tolerance and compliance and a low pressure to bacterial resistance, but no cross-resistance with other antibiotics. Recent studies show the effectiveness of FOM in the treatment of acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections and urogenital tract infections as well, such as prostatitis and epididymitis. This review focuses on the clinical application of FOM in the treatment of infectious diseases of the urogenital tract.

Objective To investigate the relationship of plasma concentration of NT-proBNP,copeptin and glasgow coma scale(GCS)scores,hematoma volumes in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage.Methods 109 patients with acute cerebral hem-orrhage(the cerebral hemorrhage group)and 32 healthy individuals (the control group)admitted in our hospital from December 2011 to June 2013 were selected and detected for plasma NT-proBNP and copeptin.The levels of NT-proBNP,copeptin,glasgow co-ma scale(GCS)scores and hematoma volumes were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of plasma NT-proBNP and copeptin in the cerebral hemorrhage group were significantly higher than that in control group(P <0.05).The levels of plasma NT-proBNP and copeptin were significantly increased with the severity and the hematoma volume of the acute cerebral hemorrhage. The levels of NT-proBNP and copeptin are positively correlated with hematoma volumes(r=0.63,r=0.58,P <0.01)and negative-ly correlated with Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)scores(r=-0.52,r=-0.46,P <0.01).Conclusion The levels of NT-proBNP and copeptin are positively correlated with hematoma volumes and negatively correlated with glasgow coma scale(GCS)scores.They are important clinical parameters to reflect the severity and hematoma volumes of the acute cerebral hemorrhage.
