Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of falls self-efficacy among the stroke elderly patients.Methods Totally 170 elderly stroke patients were investigated using the Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES),and they were tested with Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Time Up and Go Test (TUGT).Results The average score of falls self-efficacy was 108.There were 50.6％ elderly stroke patients assigned to the group with low falls self-efficacy.Multiple Logistic regression analysis indicated that impairments of balance and mobility,severe stroke-related disability were the independent influencing factors associated with FOF,which could explain 52.0％ of variations.Conclusions Low falls self-efficacy among the stroke elderly patients is a common complaint,nurses and physicians should focus on this problem,interventions combining exercise and education of accidental falls should be taken to improve falls self-efficacy of elderly stroke patients,and prevent falls finally.

Objective:To investigate the effects of brain asymmetry on levels of IL-1?,IL-6 and suppressor of cytokine signaling-3(SOCS-3) in hypothalamus,to get better understanding of relationship between brain asymmetry and neuro-immuno-endocrine network at the molecular level.Methods:By using paw preference test,right-pawed,left-pawed,and ambidextrous mice model was established.After decapitation of the mice,hypothalamus was separated rapidly.Some samples were homogenized and used for detection of levels of interleukin-1?(IL-1?),interleukin-6(IL-6) by Enzyme-Linked-Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA).The other samples were applied to detect SOCS-3 expression level by RT-PCR.Results:(1)The level of IL-6 in hypothalamus:left-pawed were higher than right-pawed mice,there was significant difference in statistics( P 0.05).(3)The expression level of SOCS-3:the SOCS-3 expression of right-pawed showed higher than left-pawed mice in hypothalamus,revealing a significant difference( P

AIM: To investigate the influence of predator stress on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and IL-1?, IL-6 in mice with brain asymmetry. METHODS: By using paw preference test, right-pawed, left-pawed, and ambidextrous-pawed mice model were established. Mice with brain lateralization were exposed to their predator (cat). After acute and chronic predator stress by cats, EIA and ELISA were applied to detect plasma levels of corticosterone (CS), IL-1? and IL-6. RESULTS: (1) The level of plasma CS: in both acute and chronic predator stress group, right-pawed and ambidextrous mice had a higher level than that in their corresponding normal group (P

Objective To investigate the influence of outward development training on psychological tenacity and subjective well‐being among college students with civil aviation specialty ,in order to provide the theoretically supported coping model and in‐tervention mechanism for improving the mental health level of college students .Methods Totally 139 college students of aviation safety technological management specialty were selected as testees ,including 72 individuals in the experiment group and 67 individu‐als in the control group .The experiment group adopted the outward development training for conducting intervention ,while the con‐trol group conducted the arrangement at the corresponding time period according to the college management .Both two groups were measured by using the Psychological Resilience Scale for Adolescents and the Happiness Index Scale before and after the outward development training intervention .Then the scores in the two groups were compared between before and after intervention . Results The factor scores ,total score of the Psychological Resilience Scale and the total happiness index before intervention had no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0 .05) .The 3‐factor scores of interpersonal assistance ,active cognition and emo‐tional control ,and total happiness index after the outward development training intervention were risen ,showing statistical differ‐ence compared with before intervention (P<0 .05);whereas the 2‐factor scores of target concentration and family support and the total scores of Psychological Resilience Scale had no statistical difference between before and after intervention (P>0 .05) .The fac‐tor scores ,total score of the Psychological Resilience Scale and the total happiness index at corresponding time in the control group had no statistical difference between before and after intervention (P>0 .05) .The 3‐factor scores of interpersonal assistance ,active cognition and emotional control ,and the total happiness index after intervention had statistical differences between the two groups (P<0 .05);but the 2‐factor scores of target concentration and family support and the total score of the Psychological Resilience Scale had no statistical difference between the two groups (P> 0 .05) .Conclusion Conducting the outward development training could effectively promote the shaping and fostering of psychological resilience and subjective well ‐being among college students of civil aviation specialty .

To study the invasiveness of endometrial cells of endometriosis. 49 specimens of either normal endometrials or that from endometriosis were cultured, and the invasiveness of them different cells was studied by Transwell Col Insert cell culture plate. The results showed that the invasiveness of stromal cells was stronger than that of epithelial cells; the invasiveness of cells from patients with endometriosis was stronger than that of the controls. The results suggested that stromal and epithelial cell of the endometrium may play different roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis; the character of the endometrium from patients with endometriosis was different from that of women without endometriosis.

Objective To explore the effect of preservation of inclined fractured permanent molars by transverse fixation with screw post,and provide a practical method for reserving the inclined fractured permanent molars.Methods Clinical data of 50 patients with inclined fractured permanent molars by transverse fixation with screw post in the Department of Stomatology of Tianjin First Central Hospital between January 2010 to December 2011 were reviewed retrospectively.After fixing the crown with steel-wire binding and root canal treatment,the molars were drilled a hole buccolingually and placed screw post.The flowable light-curing composite resin was used to seal the crack and bond screw post to prevent the relative movement.All treated molars were restored with full crown.All patients were followed up for 10-60 months.The therapeutic effects were observed.Results After 5 year-follow-up,41 cases were cured completely,6 cases were cured clinically,and 3 cases failed treatment.Conclusion The transverse fixation with screw post and bonding technique can preserve the inclined fractured molars to gain chewing function and avoid or reduce the extraction of affected teeth,which provides a better restoration effect.

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effect of a drug pair of Radix Astragali and Rehmanniae Radix combined with glucocorticoid (GC) in treating lupus nephritis (LN) patients and its influence on some experimental indices.

METHODSTotally 52 LN patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (treated by routine Western medicine and a drug pair of Radix Astragali and Rehmanniae Radix, 25 cases) and the control group (treated by Western medicine, mainly by GC and cyclophosphamide, 27 cases). All patients received 6-month therapy. The GC dosage, the withdrawal and reduction dosage of GC, clinical efficacy, systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) score, adverse reactions, and laboratory indicators were recorded.

RESULTS(1) All patients got relieved to some degree with the dosage of GC reduced. The total withdrawal and reduction dosage of GC was slightly higher in the treatment group than in the control group [(50.23 +/- 12.43) mg vs (48.76 +/- 13.61) mg, P > 0.05]. Besides, the prednisone dosage in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group, but without statistical difference (P > 0.05). The ratio of patients in need of adding prednisone for aggravating disease was 24.0%, significantly lower than that in the control group (44.44%, P < 0.05). (2) There was no statistical difference in the SLEDAI score, inflammatory indicators, liver and renal functions, blood electrolytes, blood glucose, blood and urine routines between the two groups (P > 0.05). The 24-h urinary protein count was (1.06 +/- 0.22) g/L in the treatment group, obviously lower than that in the control group (1.43 +/- 0.55 g/L, P < 0.05). (3) There was no statistical difference in the incidence rate of infection, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, psychoneuroses, Cushing's syndrome, cardiovascular anomalies, and femoral head necrosis between the two groups (P > 0.05). But the incidence of adverse reactions such as insomnia, tidal fever, spontaneous sweat, and obesity was less in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSUsing a drug pair of Radix Astragali and Rehmanniae Radix combined with GC in treating LN could withdraw the dosage of GC and relieve symptoms it induced. It was advantageous in reducing the dosage of GC and stabilizing patients' conditions.
