3.The Relation between Test Anxiety and Mental Health in Adolescents.
Journal of Korean Academy of Community Health Nursing 2005;16(4):458-466
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between test anxiety and mental health in adolescents. METHOD: The subjects were 450 students of two academic high schools in J City, who were selected through convenient sampling. Data were collected through a survey using a structured questionnaire from September 1st to 15th 2005. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 10.0 for Windows through descriptive analysis, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and stepwise multiple regression. RESULT: The mean score of test anxiety was 2.40 (range:1.13-3.81) and that of mental health was 2.77 (range:0.64-5.03). A significant negative correlation was observed between test anxiety and mental health (r=-0.28, p=.000). Test anxiety was significantly different according to adolescents' general characters such as gender (t=-1.98, p=.048), grade (F=3.54, p=.030), school life satisfaction (F=10.73, p=.000) and relationship with the teacher (F=11.60, p=.000). Mental health was significantly different according to adolescents' general characters such as religion (t=2.14, p=.032) and school life satisfaction (F=4.13, p=.017). The most powerful predictor of mental health was test anxiety and it, combined with religion, accounted for 9.0% of variance in mental health in adolescents. CONCLUSION: Test anxiety and mental health was found to be in a significant negative correlation with each other in adolescents. Therefore, nursing intervention programs for adolescents needs to reduce their test anxiety to improve their mental health.

4.Relevant issues concerning clinical trials of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;31(4):299-302
Since the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)has been rising in recent years,more and more attention is be-ing paid to clinical trials of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)treatment,which is one of the main methods for treating NAFLD.According to the reported clinical trials,consensus needs to be reached on such key points as syndrome selectivity,diagnostic criteria for disease,con-trol of behavior intervention,and establishment of outcome assessment indices.Considering the recent research progress in the world,these issues are reviewed,in order to provide better measures and suggestions for improving the quality of clinical trials of TCM treatment of NAFLD.
5.Research progress in oropharyngeal administration of colostrum in very low birth weight infants
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2016;32(13):1034-1037
In recent years, more and more people were familiar with the immune protective effect of colostrum on newborn infants, especially on premature infants. But for very low birth weight infants, due to their own disease andimmature, they couldn′t be fed by oral in the early days of life, which reduced the immune protective effect of colostrum on the newborns. In order to make the very low birth weight infants get the protection, some scholarsput forward the earlyoropharyngeal administration of colostrum for very low birth weight infants. This paper would focus on the four aspects of oropharyngeal colostrumadministration, that was theoretical basis,safety, feasibility,operating standards and the effect.
6.Comparative research of blood-gas biochemical analyzer in emergency biochemistry test
China Medical Equipment 2016;13(5):103-105
Objective:To analyze statistically the results of potassium, sodium, chlorine tests by blood-gas biochemical analyzer and automatic biochemical analyzer, in order to have a reference data for blood-gas biochemical analyzer in emergency biochemistry examination.Methods: A total of 101 cases were selected in emergency department. Arterial and venous blood samples of these cases were drawn and tested in electrolyte examination by blood-gas biochemical analyzer and automatic biochemical analyzer. The results of both instruments measured were analyzed statistically.Results: The results of potassium, sodium, chloride ion concentrations tested by blood-gas analyzer ABL80 were lower than the results tested by Beckman AU5800 automatic biochemical analyzer. The correlation analysis were performed in each tested item between the two instruments, and the differences were statistically significant(r=0.997,r=0.992,r=0.989;P<0.05).Conclusion: Although there were differences between two instruments in testing potassium, sodium and chloride ion concentration, the correlation was significant in each test item between the two instruments and the testing speed of blood-gas analyzer ABL80 is faster than the other. Therefore, in order to make quick and accurate clinical judgments about patient's condition, it is worth using blood-gas biochemical analyzer for a preliminary reference in clinical application.
7.The research progress in the relationship between gut microbiota and obesity and type 2 diabetes
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2015;(7):641-645
Metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes have been the most serious social and health problems in the world. Current treatments mainly focus on the disease consequence rather than the cause of metabolic disorders, and it is difficult to curb the global trend of explosive growth of patients. Thus new and more effective prevention and treatment strategies are needed. Genetics and environment influence the process of obesity and diabetes. But the genomic analysis only accounts for 10% to 20% of the metabolic diseases, while environmental factors such as diet and other lifestyle habits play an important role in the onset of metabolic diseases. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that human gut microbiota is closely related to the onset and development of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The rapid progress in this emerging academic field will not only help elucidate the pathogenesis of metabolic disease, but will also provide direction for exploring new therapeutic targets and pathways.
