Objective　To monitor KBD prevalence rate in Changdu of Tibet.Methods　The aged 7～12 year children are tested with X- ray and epidemiological investigation.Results　Xizang are still high yet,the 3 of 4 porints X-rates are more than 20% and the highest one is 55.34%.Conclusions　The Changdu is the severest point of KBD in our country.

Objective To investigate the effect of smoking on large arterial stiffness in patients with essential hypertensive.Methods The aortic,carotid and brachial arterial dimension,intimal-medial thickness were determined by vascular ultrasound technique.Wall cross sectional area and indices of compliance and distensibility were calculated in essential hypertensive patients with smoking(n=75) or without smoking(n=70).Results Hypertensive patients with smoking have increased wall intimal-medial thickness and wall cross sectional area in aortic,carotid and brachial arteries associated with decreased compliance and distensibility.After adjusting for the confounding effects of other variables including Age,BMI,HR,BP,PP,FPG,LDL-C and TG,covariance analysis show smoking remained as predisposed factors for vascular remodeling.Conclusion Smoking aggravates large arterial stiffness in essential hypertensive patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and positive degree in patients with cervical spondylosis.Method A questionnaire survey was conducted among 98 patients with cervical spondylosis.Results The self-efficacy score was 6.30±1.56,the score on the positive degree was 53.76 ±12.53.The self-efficacy and positive degrees were positively correlated (r=0.531,P＜0.001).Conclusions The patient's self-efficacy and positive degree are at medium level.Nursing staff should take corresponding measures to improve self-efficacy of cervical spondylosis patients,in order to improve its positive degree and achieve the purpose of effective self-management and health promotion.

OBJECTIVETo study the relationship between the positive antisperm antibody (AsAb) and nitric oxide (NO) content in blood of infertile patients and the therapeutic effect of integrative Chinese and western medicine (ICWM) treatment on the disease.

METHODSInfertile patients, 75 of AsAb positive and 68 of AsAb negative were selected to observe the mature partuient rate and abortion rate. Serum NO level were measured before treatment to observe the relationship between NO and positive AsAb. Patients were treated with ICWM and followed-up for five years.

RESULTSMean value of serum NO in patients with positive AsAb was significantly higher than that in fertile women, and there was no significant difference between patients with negative AsAb and fertile women (P < 0.01). In the 5 years after treatment, the mature partuient rate between the two groups showed insignificant difference (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAsAb positive and NO level abnormal may interfere mutually, to intervent the reproductive process. ICWM therapy could effectively regulate auto-immunity and endocrine function, and make the infertile patients obtain satisfactory efficacy.

Objective To investigate SCCmec genotypes and drug-resistance profiles of the methieillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) strains isolated from the patients suffered from diabetic foot infections (DFI) in the Tianjin Metabohc Diseases Hospital. Methods After dabridement, specimens of 390 infectious diabetic foot ulcers in the hospital from Jan 2008 to Jun 2010 were collected from the wound basal parts by cotton swab for culture. The disk-diffusion method was performed to examine antimicrobial susceptibility. DNAs of the MRSE strains were extracted, and their SCCmec genotypes were identified by PCR. Results Twenty of the seventy(28.6% ,20/70)Staphylococcus epidermidis strains were mecA posifive. Among the MRSE isolates, 2 ( 10.0% )were SCCmec Ⅱ ,9 (45.0%)were SCCmecⅢ and 9 (45.0%)were SCCmec Ⅳ. None of the isolates were genotyped as SCCmec Ⅰ or Ⅴ. No mater which genotypes they were, all the MRSE isolates were multi-drug resistant. They were resistant not only to β-lactams (including penicillins, cefoxitin and cephems), but also to non-β-lactams (including macrolides, fiuoroquinolones and sulfonamides ) . Resistance to voncomycin and rifampicin were not found in these strains . Conclusion SCCmec Ⅲ and SCCmecⅣ are major genotypes of the MRSE isolates from the infectious diabetic foot ulcers.The SCCmec Ⅳ genotype strains with multi-drug resistant profiles are prevalent in the diabetic foot infections.

Objective To observe and evaluate acute toxicities in a series of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive cancer patients receiving radiation therapy.Methods The study retrospectively reviewed the acute radiation reaction of radiation therapy of 14 HIV seropositive patients diagnosed with carcinoma between Feb 2008 and Dec 2013 at the Yunnan Tumor Hospital during the radiotherapy period and 1 month following treatment.Acute adverse effects were classified according to the site of radiation therapy and analyzed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0.Results Seven patients experienced interruptions or delays in treatment,and 2 stopped treatment entirely.The most common acute adverse effects were skin reactions and mucous membrane reactions,including dermatitis,stomatitis or diarrhea.Eight patients had grade 3 acute adverse effects,including 6 patients with grade 3 skin reactions and 2 patients with grade 3 mucosa reactions.Conclusions Radiotherapy is an effective treatment for HIV positive patients with tumors,however it frequently induced severe acute radiation responses.
