Objective To explore the effect of health education combine with nursing intervention on improving the awareness of patients′ tuberculosis ( TB) knowledge effectiveness. Methods A total of 1 186 cases of TB from June 2012 to June 2014 in our hospital were selected. According to accepted care measures, patients were divided into two groups, 593 cases received health education combined with nursing intervention were as the observation group, while another 593 cases received conventional care were as the control group. The questionnaires about TB knowledge, vital signs and prognosis of patient satisfaction outcomes were analyzed. Results Before accepting health education, the difference of knowledge of TB between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0. 05). After the health education combined with nursing intervention, 540 (91. 1%) patients in the observation group got a score of TB knowledge over 60, which was significantly higher than 402 patients (67. 8%) in the control group (P<0. 05). 402 (67. 8%) patients in the observation group got a score of TB knowledge over 80, which was significantly higher than 207 patients (34. 9%) in the control group (P<0. 05). The total score of quality of life in the observation group were (603. 6 ± 127. 4), which was significantly higher than (512. 9 ± 114. 9) in the control group (t =2. 59,P<0. 05). The rate of satisfaction in observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (Z=91. 3,P<0. 05). Conclusions Health education combined with nursing intervention can effectively improve the knowledge and awareness of TB patients. The psychological status and quality of life had significantly enhanced, thus it is worthy of further promotion in clinical practice.

In most insects, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are mainly polyunsaturated fatty acids with a carbon-chain length less than 18 carbon atoms, hardly any long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids such as C20 and C22 that are more valuable and bioactive. This study, by using Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly) as a model organism, optimized the Δ6-fatty acid elongase enzyme Elovl5 gene from mice and transferred it to fruit flies for expression. Vectors containing Elovl5 gene were successfully injected into drosophila embryo through the microscopic injection. There were enhanced green fluorescent proteins expressed in the whole developmental stage of Drosophila be means of fluorescence microscope. At the same time, expression of Elovl5 gene significantly contributed to the transformation of fruit flies C18-polyunsaturated fatty acids in the body towards the biosynthesis of longer-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The transgenic fruit fly model rich in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids such as C20 and C22 were obtained, providing a basis for further research on biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids in fruit flies.
