Objective To discuss the application and effect of predictive care in stage divided treatment and salvage of children's persistent status of epilepsy (SE).Methods Sixty-four children with SE were admitted to the First Peoples Hospital of Wenling in Zhejiang Province from December 2014 to December 2016 as the research objects, a controlled study was adopted, in which the stage divided therapeutic method was compared with the conventional method for treatment of SE, and the children were divided into an observation group and a control group, 32 cases in each group. Foresight treatment method was used in the observation group: the first stage of treatment (early treatment or pre-hospital treatment) was intravenous injection of the first-line drugs (benzodiazepines); the second stage of treatment (progressive stage treatment or initial treatment) mainly used epileptic drugs to prevent recurrence; the third stage treatment (referred to after the first-line drug in combination with one second line antiepileptic drug treatment, the disease was still unable to be controlled) adopted the mild hypothermia therapy to reduce the SE attack amplitude and decrease recurrence; in terms of aspects of predictive nursing measures, the respiratory tract nursing, basic nursing, the prediction of complications and their nursing, etc. were implemented. The routine nursing without care about the stages was carried out in the control group. The SE control time, skin lesions, false aspiration, lung infection, tongue bite, cerebral edema, etc. the incidenceof complications were observed in two groups of children.Results The SE control time was significantly shorter in observation group than that in the control group (minutes: 18.13±3.15 vs. 25.19±2.69,P < 0.05), and the incidence of complications was obviously lower in observation group than that in the control group [6.25% (2/32) vs. 28.13% (9/32),P < 0.05]. Conclusion Using different therapy at different stages of children SE combined with predictive care can effectively shorten the SE control time, decrease the incidence of complications and elevate the therapeutic and nursing effects.

Hot-melt extrusion was applied to prepare mesoporous silica/ethylcellulose mini-matrix for sustained release, and fenofibrate was used as a model drug, ethylcellulose and xanthan gum were chosen as sustained-release agent and releasing moderator, respectively. This novel matrix obtained the controlled release ability by combining mesoporous silica drug delivery system and hot-melt extrusion technology. And mesoporous silica particle (SBA-15) was chosen as drug carrier to increase the dissolution rate of fenofibrate in this martix. Scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, small angle X-ray powder diffraction and N2 adsorption-desorption were introduced to determine the particle morphology, particle size and pore structure of the synthesized SBA-15. The results showed that SBA-15 had a very high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area, a narrow pore size distribution, large pore volume and a ordered two-dimensional hexagonal structure of p6mm symmetry. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray powder diffraction results demonstrated that fenofibrate dispersed in an amorphous state inside the pores of the mesoporous silica which contributed to the improvement in the dissolution rate. The drug release of mini-matrices was influenced by ethylcellulose viscosity grades and xanthan gum concentration, which increased with the increasing of xanthan gum concentration and decreasing of ethylcellulose viscosity. Mini-matrix containing 22% xanthan gum exhibited a good sustained release performance, and the drug release behavior followed the first-order kinetics.

OBJECTIVETo study the HIV infection risk perception, sexual behavior and condom use among college students who had sexual experiences.

METHODSUsing data generated from a survey on AIDS related knowledge and risk perception and sexual behavior (conducted in a coast city of Zhejiang province in 2003), with a questionnaire involving self-reporting history of sexual experience. Software SPSS 12.0 for windows was used for statistical analysis.

RESULTS47.0 percent of the 2785 students having had sexual experience did not feel that sexual experience was related to HIV risk while 51.3 percent them considered their sexual behavior was at much low risk. 80.5 percent of the students with sexual experience had ever used condoms, but only 16.0 percent used it consistently. There was no association between risk perception and condom use, but there was association between risk perception and intention for condom use.

CONCLUSIONThe college students having had sexual experience had low level of risk perception on HIV infection and had a high rate of ever condom use but low in consistent use. Extensive and detailed prevention intervention was needed to improve the safe sexual behaviors.
