Objective To evaluate the effects of pregnancy weight control program based on structure- process- outcome model to improve women′s health status and pregnancy outcomes. Methods On the basis of Donabedian′s structure- process- outcome quality of care model, a pregnancy weight control program designed and carried out for the middle and late pregnancy. The structure, process and outcome of the pregnancy weight control program were evaluated to ensure the quality of the pregnancy weight control program. In addition, the women′s pregnancy outcomes were investigated after intervention. Results the prenatal BMI in the intervention group [ (23.06±1.11) kg/m2 ] were lower than those in the control group [(25.52±1.89) kg/m2 ], and the incidence of cesarean section (including cesarean section without indication), neonatal macrosomia, labor block, neonatal asphyxia, postpartum hemorrhage, pregnancy induced diabetes and hypertension in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group, P<0.01 or 0.05. Conclusion Donabedian′s structure- process- outcome quality of care program is an effective approach to improve women′s pregnancy outcomes.

Acupuncture has remarkable effects of pain relieving and functional restoration on injuries of soft tissue and joint due to military training. As more and more attention has been attached to the impact of psychological states and biorhythm disorder on the fighting ability of military staff, acupuncture has found its place in treating chronic fatigue, combat stress reaction, traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder as well as regulating circadian rhythms. The therapeutic effect of acupuncture in military training-related physical damage and psychological trauma has already been proved by numerous clinical practices and researches. It is held that using acupuncture as an alternative could not only save medical resources, but also enhance the fighting ability of the army. However, the current clinical studies is facing the problem of limited sample size. Therefore, randomized controlled trials in large scale and multiple centers should be further carried out toward military staff, so as to provide more speaking evidences to the prevention and treatment of physical and psychological diseases.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of central cord syndrome without fracture or dislocation and assess the effect of surgical management.Methods Twenty-one cases of central cord syndrome without fracture or dislocation were diagnosed with X-ray radiography,CT and MRI and treated surgically.Spinal cord dysfunction and its recovery rate were evaluated using American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) system.Radiological and clinical evaluation was performed for all cases.Pre-and postoperative ASIA scale and score were statistically analyzed.Results All cases sustained cervical spinal cord compression resulting from cervical disc herniation in 18 cases,of which five were accompanied by ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and reductus,developmental cervical spinal canal stenosis in two cases and posterior longitudinal ligament ossification in one case.Neurological dysfunction involved in the upper extremity in 15 cases and upper and lower extremity in six cases.Mean period of follow-up was 13.5months.ASIA scale was improved from C (n =9) and D (n =12) before operation to C (n =1),D (n =6) and E (n =14) in the last follow-up.ASIA score of motor and sensory dysfunction revealed a (84.3 ±12.5)％ and (62.7 ± 14.6)％ improvements,with significant difference as compared with the preoperative one (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Cervical disc herniation is the major factor of spinal cord compression in central cord syndrome without fracture and dislocation.Neurological dysfunction occurs mostly in the upper extremity.Surgery is an effective method to release spinal cord compression and restore neurological function.

Protein phosphorylation is one of the most common post-translational modification processes that play an essential role in regulating protein functionality.The Helicoverpa armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPv) orf2-encoded nucleocapsid protein HA2 participates in orchestration of virus-induced actin polymerization through its WCA domain,in which phosphorylation status are supposed to be critical in respect to actin polymerization.In the present study,two putative phosphorylation sites (232Thr and 250Ser) and a highly conserved Serine (245Ser) on the WCA domain of HA2 were mutated,and their phenotypes were characterized by reintroducing the mutated HA2 into the HearNPV genome.Viral infectivity assays demonstrated that only the recombinant HearNPV bearing HA2 mutation at 245Ser can produce infectious virions,both 232Tbr and 250Ser mutations were lethal to the virus.However,actin polymerization assay demonstrated that all the three viruses bearing HA2 mutations were still capable of initiating actin polymerization in the host nucleus,which indicated the putative phosphorylation sites on HA2 may contribute to HearNPV replication through another unidentified pathway.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of surface electrical stimulation on bladder spasm among patients with spinal cord injury,and compare it with that of therapy combining electrical stimulation with bladder function training.Methods Forty-two patients with bladder spasm after spinal cord injury were randomly divided into an experimental group (n=21) and a control group (n=21).Patients in the experimental group were further divided into three subgroups:patients with cervical spinal injury (n =7),thoracic spinal injury (n =9) and lumbar spinal injury (n =5).Both the experimental group and control group were given normal bladder function recovery exercise,while the experimental group was given the extra electrical stimulation on the surface of the sacral nerve.Urodynamic tests including the maximum detrusor pressure,bladder capacity,residual urine volume and bladder compliance were conducted for both groups before the treatment,after the first and the second 18-days of treatment and during a follow-up visit 2 months after the intervention.Results After the first course of treatment,significant differences were found in all measurements in the experimental group and most measurements of the control group except for the residual urine volume.Significant differences were found in all measurements after the second course of treatment compared to those after the first course in both groups.After the two courses of treatment and during the follow-up visit the average residual urine volume of the experiment group was significantly better than that of the control group.After the second course of treatment the average maximum detrusor pressure and bladder compliance of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group.Conclusion Surface electrical stimulation significantly improves the urodynamics and bladder function of patients with bladder spasm after spinal cord injury and its therapeutic effect is greater for patients with cervical and thoracic spinal injury than for those with lumber spinal injury.

Objective To investigate the effect of social support and childbirth self-efficacy-enhancing intervention on primiparas' childbirth self-efficacy,coping ability and pain during labor.Methods A randomized controlled trial was used with double blindness design.One hundredand six primiparas were recruited as the intervention group and control group,53 cases in each group.The two groups adopted the routine prenatal care.In addition,the intervention group participated in twice childbirth self-efficacy-enhancing educational courses.The Chinese Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory (CBSEI) was used to conduct the comparison between before and after intervention;the interventional effects in the natural childbirth pregnant women were compared between the two groups by adopting the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Childbirth Coping Behavior Scale (CCB);the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) was adopted to analyze correlation between the social support level with the CBSEI and CCB.Results The intervention group finally had 52 cases of effective sample and the control group had 51 cases of effective sample.The CBSEI score after intervention in the intervention group was 282.04± 27.38,which was higher than 236.69± 45.39 before intervention.The CCB score in the intervention group was 56.78 ± 6.95,which was significantly higher than 48.03 ± 6.26 in thecontrol group,and the VAS score in the intervention group was 6.96 ± 1.39,which was lower than 8.35 ± 1.43 in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).The MSPSS score in the two groups was positively correlated with the OE score,efficacy expectancy (EE) score and CBSEI score before intervention(r=0.269,0.289,0.317,P＜0.01).Conclusion Launching the childbirth self-efficacy-enhancing educational intervention of the social support system can effectively improve the childbirth self-efficacy and coping ability of primiparas,and reduce the intrapartum pain level.

Objective To summarize our experience in prevention and treatment of stricture after esopageal burns in the past thirty years.Methods There were 168 cases in this series.Of them,158 cases underwent surgical management in this study.Modified intraluminal stenting was used in 34 cases, colon interposition without resection of strictured esophagus in 77 cases,gastric transposion with resection of the stricture in 27,repair of cervical stricture with platysma myocutaneous flap in 22,and miscellane- ous operation in 12.Eleven cases experienced operation twice or more at our department.Results Twenty-nine cases recovered after treatment with intraluminal stenting,and 5 re-experienced stricture after stent removal.One of the 5 cases with failed stent responded to bougienage,and the remaining 4 cases re- quired esophageal reconstruction later.Of the 77 colon interpositions,5 cases died postoperatively,and complications of cervical anastomotic fistula occurred in 14 cases,anastomotic stenosis in 4,and abdomi- nal incision dehiscence in 2 cases.In the 27 cases with gastric transpositions,postoperative complications of anastomotic stricture occurred in 2 cases and empyema in 1 patient.There was a cervical leak in 3 ca- ses of the 22 cases treated with the repair of cervical esopageal or anastomotic stricture with a platysma myocutaneous flap.In the 12 cases treated with miscellaneous operation,one died of intestinal obstruc- tion.All the survivors had regular diet after discharge.Conclusions Intraluminal stenting can prevent the formation of caustic esophageal stricture.The location of the cicatricial esophagus dictates whether to perform concomitant esophagectomy during esophageal reconstruction.Platysma myocutaneous flap repair is an excellent method for the treatment of severe cervical esophageal or anastomotic stricture.

?AlM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis ( PCCC ) combined with anterior vitrectomy in preventing posterior capsule opacification of congenital cataract surgery.
?METHODS:Postoperative clinical follow-up data of 82 cases ( 87 eyes ) with congenital cataract treated in Eye Center of our hospital from January 2011 to August 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the surgical control group ( 38 cases, 40 eyes, recieved phacoemulsification + PCCC ) and the study group ( 44 cases, 47 eyes, accepted phacoemulsification+ PCCC + anterior vitrectomy). The incidence of central optic axis opaque and postoperative visual acuity distribution were recorded at 1a follow - up. lntraoperative and postoperative complications were observed.
?RESULTS:The rate of central optic axis opaque grade 0 in control group was 37. 5%, compared to 76. 6% in study groups. The opacity distribution ratio of grade 1,2,3 and 4 in study group were lower than that of control group, and the central optic axis opacity distribution ratio in study group was significantly better than that of control group (P<0. 05). The 19 eyes(47. 5%) of visual acuity testing ≤0. 5 in control group , was higher than the 7 eyes(14. 89%) of that in the study group, The 21 eyes (52. 5%) of visual acuity testing >0. 5 in control group was lower than the 40 eyes ( 85. 11%) of that in study group. The visual acuity between two groups has statistical significance difference after 1a follow-up ( P<0. 05 ) , and the visual acuity in study group was significantly better than that in the control group. The postoperative intraocular pressure at 1mo and 1a follow-up was lower than before operation in two groups ( P<0. 05), but there was no significant difference between two groups in intraocular pressure (P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: Combination of phacoemulsification, PCCC and anterior vitrectomy presents reliable clinical effects on postoperative central optic axis opacity distribution ratio and visual acuity, and it should be adopted to prevent the occurrence of posterior capsule opacification.

Cryptosporidium andersoni ATP-binding cassette (CaABC) is an important membrane protein involved in substrate transport across the membrane. In this research, the nucleotide binding domain (NBD) of CaABC gene was amplified by PCR, and the eukaryotic expression vector of pEGFP-C1-CaNBD was reconstructed. Then, the recombinant plasmid of pEGFP-C1-CaNBD was transformed into the mouse intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) to study the iron transportation function of CaABC. The results indicated that NBD region of CaABC gene can significantly elevate the transport efficiency of Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, and HCO3 - in IECs (P<0.05). The significance of this study is to find the ATPase inhibitors for NBD region of CaABC gene and to inhibit ATP binding and nutrient transport of CaABC transporter. Thus, C. andersoni will be killed by inhibition of nutrient uptake. This will open up a new way for treatment of cryptosporidiosis.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and analyze the treatment of primary ocular adnexal lymphoma (POAL). Methods A retrospective review was performed based on the clinical records of 26 POAL cases, who were treated from June 1999 to June 2009. The clinical manifestations,imaging features, diagnosis approaches and treatment of them were analyzed. Results The main symptoms were a slowly growing painless mass, exophthalmia and red eyelid. Mostly, imaging finding shows casting like. 50 % of POAL was at the orbit. 22 patients w ere B-cell origin [13 patients were extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma-mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma], 2 patients were NK/T cell lymphoma. 76.9 % patients were in stage Ⅰ -Ⅱ. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were most common treatment modalities for POAL. Conclusion Most POAL were low-grade B-cell lymphoma, with MALT by far the most common type. POAL was easy to be misdiagnosed due to non specific clinical manifestations.Imaging finding was helpful to diagnosis, but could not reliably distinguish between benign and malignant. The invasive biopsy is the main diagnosis approach. Radiotherapy had been the standard treatment for low-grade POAL. High-grade or infiltrating peri-orbit need combine chemotherapy. lmmunotherapy and molecular targeted therapy were the direction of future research.
