Modern Clinical Nursing 2016;15(5):26-30
Objective To study the effect of community nursing and family members′participation on rehabilitation of patients with cerebral infarction. Methods Forty-two patients with cerebral infarction discharged from our hospital was chosen to take community rehabilitation training. The scores by modified Barthel index (MBI) and functional comprehensive assessment (FCA) before intervention were compared to those after intervention at the time points of pre-intervention and 1 month , three months after intervention. Results The scores by modified Barthel index (MBI) and functional comprehensive assessment (FCA) before intervention were significantly higher than those before intervention (P<0.01). The scores by MBI 1 month after intervention were significantly higher than those three months after intervention (P<0.01), indicating the longer the rehabilitation training, the better the effect. Conclusion The community rehabilitation care to patients with cerebral infarction sequelae can improve the quality of rehabilitation training and finally their quality of life.

3.Susceptibility genes for diabetic retinopathy
International Eye Science 2008;8(2):234-239
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a sight-threatening chronic complication of diabetes mellitus and is the leading cause of acquired blindness in adults. Long-term exposure to the hyperglycemia of diabetes patients leads to the development of DR. Several studies have provided evidence that good diabetes control is important to prevent DR. However, emerging evidence suggests that genes are a significant contributor to an individual's risk of retinopathy. This evidence is from evaluations of familial aggregation and different incidence of DR in racial and ethnic groups. Some groups of patients develop DR despite good control and some escape retinopathy despite poor control. This suggests that the genes are involved in the susceptibility to DR. Genes suggested as having a role include those encoding aldose reductase, nitric oxide synthase, receptor for advanced glycation end products, angiotensin converting enzyme, vascular endothelial growth factors and pigment epithelium-derived factor. An understanding of the role of susceptibility genes will ultimately allow the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This article reviews the role of genetic factors in the etiology and progression of DR.

With the development of biological techniques,the study on the pathogenesis of disease-causing genes of congenital cataracts has substantial progress.Some positive results of screen of mutation gene in congenital cataract family has been reported,but the report of negative result is rate.ObjectiveThe present study attempts to screen the mutation of CRYAA,CRYAB,CRYA1/A3,CRYBB2,CRYGC and CRYGD gene in a Chinese family with autosomal dominant congenital cataract. MethodsThe periphery blood samples were exacted from 8 patients of 4 generations of with congenital cataract in this family.The complete coding region and intron spliced sites of CRYAA,CRYAB,CRYA1/A3,CRYBB2,CRYGC and CRYGD were amplified with polymerase chain reaction (PCR),and the products of PCR were directly sequenced.The control blood samples were from 10 normal subjects.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki.Written informed consent was obtained from all of the patients.ResultsThe patients were found in each generation in this family and the mode of inheritance was in accordance with the characteristic of autosomal dominant inheritance.The sequence of amplified genetic fragments of CRYAA,CRYAB,CRYA1/A3,CRYBB2,CRYGC and CRYGD genes were inaccordance with those of normal subjects and GeneBank.No any mutation loci was found in all of the patients of this family.ConclusionCRYAA,CRYAB,CRYA1/A3,CRYBB2,CRYGC and CRYGD genes is not the causing-disease genes in this family.

Objective To investigate the antibacterial activity of the alkaloids extract from Oxytropis falcata Bunge against 9 common pathogens in vitro. Methods Alkaloids was extracted from Oxytropis falcata Bunge. The agar plate dilution method was adopted to evaluate the activity against bacteria of 4 Gram-negative test strains and 5 Gram-positive test strains, while the MIC and MBC were determined by tube double dilution method. Results The alkaloids extract from Oxytropis falcata Bunge had the antibacterial activity against 9 pathogens and there was a good dose-response relationship between sensitivity and concentration. Antibacterial activities against bacillus subtilis and stentrophmomas maltophilia showed stronger than other tested bacteria, the MIC and MBC were 0.95 mg/mL and 1.91 mg/mL, respectively. In other tested bacteria, MIC and MBC were ranged in 1.91-7.63 mg/mL. Conclusion The alkaloids extract showed a broad spectrum of a stronger antibacterial activity against all tested pathogens. Gram-positive strains were more sensitive than Gram-negative strains to the inhibitory effects of the alkaloids extract.
7.Application of prism alternate cover test and perimeter strabismometry in strabismic operation
International Eye Science 2015;(7):1290-1292
AlM:To discuss the application of prism alternate cover test ( PACT) and perimeter strabismometry in strabismic operation.METHODS: A total of 145 patients with concomitant esotropia or exotropia, aging 2 ~ 50 years old, were included. They were examined by PACT and perimeter strabismometry before operation. The strabismic operations were performed, the orthotropia rate of postoperation was assessed.RESULTS:Using PACT and perimeter strabismometry, there was a significantly difference of deviating angle ( P<0. 05) in mild and severe strabismic group. But there was no significantly difference of deviating angle (P>0. 05) in moderate strabismic group. The functional cure rate of postoperation was respectively 70. 83%, 67. 01%; the clinical cure rate was 20. 84%, 24. 74%; invalid rate was 8. 33%, 8. 25% .CONCLUSlON: The application of PACT and perimeter strabismometry in strabismic operation design, referring to the eye axial length, this can be helpful of improving the cure rate postoperation and decreasing the danger of reopreation.

Objective To understand the relationship between age and chronic complications in hospitalized aged patients with hypertension, to provide evidence for hypertension prevention and control. Methods To retrospectively analyze the clinical and laboratory data on 17,682 patients with essential hypertension during Jan 1st,1993-Dee 12th, 2008 in PLA general hospital. Results 1)Among all of the inrolled cases, those aged 60-64 account for 27.87%, 65-69 years group account for 26.55%, 70-74 years group accounted for 23.96%, 75-79 years group accounted for 14.14%, 80-84 years group accounted for 5.26%, 85-89 years group accounted for 1.69%, > 90 years accounted for 0.41%. 2) The prevalence rate of chronic complications in 60-69 years group were 31.3-31.2% for diabetes and,22.6-27.0% for cerebrovascular disease, 9.5-11.1% for myocardial infarction, 6.7-9.1% for heart failure, 5.8-6.0% for renal dysfanction 4.9-6.8% for atrial fibrillation, 0.1-0.3% for multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in the elderly(P <0.05 ). 3) The first four complications of hypertension were diabetes(33.5%), cerebrovascular disease (31.9%), myocardial infarction(13.2%) and heart failure(12.3%) in 70-74 years group (P<0.05), cerebrovascular disease (42.8%), diabetes (32.8%), heart failure (16.5%) and myocardial infarction(15.9%) in 75-79 years group (P<0.05), cerebrovascular disease (45.4%), diabetes (35.0%), heart failure (21.1%) and myocardial infarction(15.9%) in 80-84 years group (P<0.05), cerebrovascular disease(42.5%), diabetes (35.8%), heart failure (23.1%) and renal dysfanction (17.7%) in 85-89 years group(P<0.05 ),and cerebrovascular disease (45. 2%), heart failure(31.5%), diabetes (26.0%) and renal dysfanction (20.5%) in patients more than 90 years group (P<0.05). Conclusions The prevalence rate and kinds of chronic complications in hospitalized aged patients with hypertension were changed with the increasing age, and the first kind of complication is cerebrovascular disease. It is of more importance to prevent the occurrence of renal dysfanction and heart failure in those hypertension patients who were more than 80 years old.
