Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2017;33(12):923-927
Objective To discuss the effects of nursing intervention under the guidance of health belief on enteroscopy compliance of colorectal cancer high-risk population. Methods A total of 260 people, who were clearly identified as colorectal cancer high-risk population during preliminary screening of 2 communities in Nankai District, Tianjin but had not finished enteroscopy, were selected and divided them into intervention group and control group with 130 people per group by random digits table method. In the intervention group, subjects received nursing intervention with guidance of the health belief model for a year, while in the control group, subjects simply received regular propaganda and education about colorectal cancer screening. Results After intervention, the cognitive levels in colorectal cancer screening, enteroscopy screening, high-risk factors was (9.16±2.95), (14.55±3.41), (14.25±4.26) points in intervention group and (7.28 ± 3.26), (12.23 ± 3.72), (13.12 ± 4.11) points in control group, and there was significant difference between two groups (t=4.855, 5.228, 2.180, P<0.01 or 0.05). After intervention, the scores of health belief including susceptibility, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy was (7.74 ± 1.50), (13.20 ± 2.45), (6.59 ± 1.91), (23.54±3.16) points in intervention group, and (6.68 ± 1.47), (11.58 ± 2.15), (8.42 ± 1.99), (20.82 ± 3.02) points in control group, and there was significant difference between two groups(t=5.730, 5.682,-7.561, 7.096, P<0.01). The rate of enteroscopy screening was 20.47%(26/127) in intervention group and 8.87%(11/124) in control group, and there was significant difference between two groups(χ2=6.719, P<0.05). Conclusions The nursing intervention under the guidance of health belief helps colorectal cancer high-risk population establish health belief, enhances participation rates of colonoscopy screening and has important significance to positive rates of early colorectal cancer.

Objective To explore the effects of lithium on expressions of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in the brains of chronic aluminum exposure rats so as to further understand the mechanism of lithium's inhibition on tau phosphorylation. Methods We divided 12 chronic aluminum chloride exposure rats into treatment group and non-treatment group (6 rats in each). Treatment group was given lithium chloride (200 mg/kg?d) via gastric perfusion daily for 6 weeks,while the non-treatment group sodium chloride at the same dosage and the normal group (6 non-aluminum exposure rats of the same month old) without intervention. Six weeks later,all the rats received Morris water maze test for learning memory function; CDK5 and PP2A expressions and phosphorylated tau protein level in rat hippocampus were determined by Western blotting. Results Compared with normal group,non-treatment of chronic aluminum exposure group showed higher phosphorylated tau protein level and CDK5 expression in the brain (P0.05). Conclusion Lithium may reduce tau phosphorylation and neurofibrillary tangle formation by inhibiting the expression of CDK5.

Objective To screen the sensitive plasma molecular markers in diabetic nephropathy ( DN) patients with kidney yang deficiency. Methods Two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) was used to analyze the plasma which was sampled from 4 early DN patients with kidney yang deficiency and 4 healthy adult volunteers. Proteins that showed differential expression with an over 1.5-fold change were analyzed by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. Results Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) maps of plasma proteins in DN patients with kidney yang deficiency and healthy adults were established successfully. We validated 9 differentially expressed proteins, including complements C3 and C4, apolipoprotein E and ubiquitination factor. Conclusion Proteomic analysis by 2-D DIGE can objectively reveal the differences of plasma protein expression in DN patents with kidney yang deficiency and healthy adult volunteers. The obtained 9 proteins have potential to provide plasma molecular markers for the early clinical diagnosis and for the research of traditional Chinese medical patterns of DN.

Objective To study the possibility of measuring health status for residents in rural areas by the Chinese SF-36 scale. Methods Health status for 207 residents in rural areas of Fuyang city who were 14 years old and over was measured by the Chinese SF-36 scale. The reliability and validity were analyzed. Results The internal consistency reliability coefficients (Cronbach'α) exceeded 0.50 for all scales except SF and RE scales. Inter-scale correlation coefficients were lower than Cronbach'α coefficients for all scales except SF scale. Factor analysis identified three principal components, which could be used to explain 64.6% of the total variance. The differences of scale scores between the young group and the middle age group weren't significant. There weren't significant differences of scale scores between sexes except RP scale. The differences of scale scores between smokers and no-smokers, drinkers and no-drinkers weren't significant. Nor were the differences between various educational levels. Conclusion Whether the Chinese SF-36 scale is suitable for measurement of health status for residents in rural areas needs further studies to give more evidences.
