Health promotion constitutes an important part of community healthcare service. The authors gave a detailed account of the basic concepts and rationale of health promotion and analyzed its difference from disease prevention, pointing out that factors affecting individuals acceptance of suggested healthy conducts included individual cognition, modifying factor and viability of the conducts. At the same time, the authors, using the health promotion theory, made a detailed analysis of responses to a mammary gland screening among senior and middle aged community women. They argued that the health level of the whole population could be promoted and the mortality rate of malignant tumors lowered through helping individuals in understanding their disease, making use of the influence of external factors like the mass media, and proving convenient and good medical services.

The peripherally inserted central catheter occlusion is not rare in adults.Its occurence is related with the catheter's tip position,catheter type and the skills of medical staff.Personnel training is particularly important in the prevention of occlusion.Urokinase and heparin can be used for thrombolysis.

Objective To detect the changes and the clinical significance in plasma protein-complement factor H-related protein 2 (CFHR2) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) children.Methods Various types of 66 CHD patients with or without PAH and 16 healthy children(healthy control group) were studied,including 11 ventricular septal defects (VSD) with PAH (VSD-PAH),11 isolated VSD,11 atrial septal defects with PAH (ASD-PAH),11 isolated ASD,11 mixed type of heart defects [two or more defects of VSD,ASD and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)] with PAH (Mix-PAH) and 11 cases without PAH (Mix).CFHR2 was validated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in the sample plasma.Results Compared with the healthy control group,the CFHR2 concentration in VSD-PAH patients [(189.10 ±24.01) μg/L vs.(42.99 ±4.53) μg/L,t =4.975,P ＜0.01] and VSD patients [(189.10 ±24.01) μg/L vs.(165.00 ±23.17) μg/L,t =2.661,P ＜ 0.05] were lower.The CFHR2 protein was also confirmed to be decreasing significantly in VSD-PAH patients compared with VSD patients (t =4.698,P ＜ 0.01).The plasma CFHR2 level in ASD-PAH patients [(189.10 ± 24.01)μg/L vs.(70.92 ± 8.27) μg/L,t =3.951,P ＜0.01] and ASD patients [(189.10 ±24.01) μg/L vs.(72.48 ± 8.99) μg/L,t =3.880,P ＜ 0.01] were significantly lower than those in the healthy control group,although there was no significant difference between ASD-PAH and ASD patients (t =0.128,P ＞ 0.05).The plasma CFHR2 level in Mix-PAH patients [(189.10 ± 24.01) μg/L vs.(83.23 ± 15.96) μL,t =3.314,P ＜ 0.05] was significantly lower than that in the healthy control group,while Mix patients [(189.10 ±24.01) μg/L vs.(170.40 ±33.15) μg/L,t =0.468,P ＞ 0.05] had no difference compared with the healthy control group,but had statistical significance with M ix PAH group (t =2.370,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The decrease of CFHR2 protein may demonstrate the deficiency of the immune system and coagulation mechanism in these patients and can be consi-dered as biomarker of CHD-PAH disease.

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge, attitude and behavior on blood lipid among people in Changsha and to provide evidences for prevention and control of blood lipid abnormality. Methods: A total of 400 cases were randomly selected on the questionnaire of the knowledge, attitude and behavior on blood lipid in ordinary adults who participate in health examination in Xiangya Hospital. Blood lipid related physical examination was conducted at the same time. hTe health examination participants were divided into several groups according to their sex, age, degree of education, marriage and family income. The influential factors for knowledge, attitude and behavior were analyzed. Results: hTe knowledge score of blood lipid for health examination participants was 18.33±8.67 (total score 37), the attitude score was 6.63±2.45 (total score 9) and the behavior score was 8.32±2.65 (total score 16). hTe scores of female was higher than that of male in the terms of knowledge and behavior (bothP<0.05); the scores in the 40–49 age group were lower than those in the other age groups (all P<0.05); the scores in the junior high school group were lower than those in the other education groups (allP<0.05); the scores in the family group with less than 2 000 yuan income were lower than those in other family groups with different income (allP<0.05). The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that: 1) the knowledge on blood lipid score was inlfuenced by ages and education background (bothP<0.05); 2) while the attitude of blood lipid was inlfuenced by four factors such as education background, systemic blood pressure, blood sugar and triglyceride(allP<0.05); 3) the behavior on blood lipid was inlfuenced by ifve factors such education background, triglyceride, systemic blood pressure, blood sugar and ages (allP<0.05). Conclusion: The knowledge, attitude and behavior on blood lipid among health examination participants were mostly influenced by education background, gender and ages. Thus, clinical medical staff should prevent the blood lipid abnormality through the health education and improve the knowledge in normal people. hTe group of 40–49 age male should be thought as the primary intervention subjects. hTe knowledge, attitude and behavior on blood lipid among the general population is also related to individual’s blood pressure, blood sugar and triglyceride. So the clinical medical staff should also improve the knowledge of blood lipid, blood pressure and blood sugar in general population for improving their attitude and unhealthy habits. In addition, the active control of blood sugar and blood pressure can enhance the overall health status of the general population.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of NGF on apoptosis of HSC in vitro and explore the possible mechanism.MethodsHSC was incubated with different concentrations of NGF.HSC apoptosis was identified by FCM.The expressions of apoptosis-regulating proteins Caspase-3,p53 and Bcl-2 of HSC after apoptosis induced by NGF were examined by immunohistochemical staining.Expressions of NGF and p75NTR were detected by immunofluorescence.ResultsApoptosis index of HSC was higher than that of control group [(22.36±9.51)％ vs (5.88±1.36)％] after treated with NGF (100 ng/ml) (P＜0.05).After incubating with 100 ng/ml NGF for 24 h,the positive expression rates of p53 and Caspase-3 of HSC increased significantly than those of control group [(78.41±4.00)％ vs (34.96±3.84)％,(39.26±1.57)％ vs (9.27±1.01)％,P ＜0.05].The positive expression rate of Bcl-2 protein of HSC significantly decreased compared with that of control group (18.12±1.38)％ vs (91.53±2.98)％ (P＜0.05).When HSC was stimulated with 100 ng/ml NGF for 24 h,the average optical density of NGF increased significantly than control group (6.53±1.40 vs 1.77±0.17) (P＜0.05),while the expression of p75NTR was not significantly changed (3.52±0.36 vs 4.24±0.38) (P＞0.05).ConclusionsThe mechanism of NGF to induce HSC apoptosis may be associated with the up-regulating expression of Caspase3,P53 and down-regulating expression of Bcl-2 on HSC.NGF could be used as an initiating factor and effect factor to increase the expression of NGF on HSC,but it had no significant effect on p75NTR expression.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical effect of standardized training and management of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) and catheter-related complications. METHODS: A total of 610 patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, the control group (n=300) were catheterized by trainees who received "short-term intensive training", the observation group (n=310) by "system standardized training and management". The clinical efficacy of catheterization and the rate of catheter-related complications were compared. RESULTS: There was significant difference in the one-time puncture success rate, one-time cannulation success rate, the time for operation and the pain score between the 2 groups (all P<0.01), and there was also significant difference in the occurrence of catheter extrusion, plug, arrhythmia, catheter-related thrombosis, phlebitis, puncture point effusion and catheter-related infection between the 2 groups (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION Standardized PICC training and management can improve the effect of catheterization and reduce the incidence of PICC-related complication.
