Objective To investigate the self perceived health status of the eMerly in nursing home of Hengyang and analyze the related factors. Methods 200 elderly were investigated on their perceived health status by self- rated health measurement scale. Data were analyzed by statistical package for the social science (SPSS)13.0 version. Results Mean score of self- perceived health condition of the elderly was (231.79± 59.71 ),just 40.5% of them believed that their health status was at high level. There were significant differences in self-perceived health status between the elderly with different age, reason for admission, check-in time, self-care abihty, interests and the number of visits. There were no significant differences in self- perceived health status between the elderly with different genders, education, marriage status, occupation. Conclusions The health level of the elderly is low in Hengyang. Nurses should make full use of all the society strength to provide substance, psychological and social supports to impreve health level of the elderly.

Sequential monitoring of chimerism after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is important for disease prognosis, improving transplantation success rate, and reducing relapses of the original diseases. The application of molecular genetic markers in combination with quantitative PCR to the assessment of chimerism,in particularly the dynamic quantitative analysis of lineage-specific chimerism, can provide important guidance for clinical practice.

Natural killer (NK) cells are key members of the innate immune system.The capability of NK cells to kill hematological tumor cells mainly depends on the synthesis of stimulatory and inhibitory signals on the cells surface.In recent years,allogeneic haplo-identical NK cells have shown positive effect of hematologic tumor in hematologic stem cell transplantation and adoptive immunotherapy,and the natural killer cell-based immunotherapy would be applied in clinic.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and elucidate the role of histamine on the regulation of tight junctions(TJs) gene expression of the airway epithelial cells. METHODS We cultured primary human bronchial epithelial cells from healthy and asthmatic individuals in the presence of histamine for 96 hours in air-liquid interface (ALI) culture system. The TJs expression on the level of mRNA and protein was determined by RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence (confocal microscopy), respectively. RESULTS A RT-qPCR analysis revealed that the mRNA expression of several TJs were up- or down-regulated by histamine. However, examination by confocal microscope revealed no detectable alterations in the morphology of the tight junctions after stimulating with histamine. CONCLUSION Our findings that histamine could regulate the mRNA expression of TJs of bronchial epithelial cells. That might contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic airway inflammatory diseases.

The metabolic syndrome leading to cerebrovascular disease attracts more and more attention by the medical circle,and its exact nosogenesis is not clear.There is no effective therapeutic method for this disease either.The author believes phlegm and blood stasis being the key factors for metaboric syndrome.Clinically,the author got good effects by treating the disease according to the different nosogenesis and stages of disease.

Objective To know about the state of the elderly' health and their family function and their relationship in the pension institutions so as to provide the basis of promoting the eldedy' health status for the nurses in the pension institutions.Methods Two hundred and sixty elderly were investigated according to their perceived health status and family function with self-rated health measurement scale and APGER in the pension institutions in Hengyang city,and data were analyzed.Results The average selfrated health score of the elderly in pension institutions was (243.95±64.13),accounted for 55.44% of the total.The score of family function was (5.64±2.57),accounted for 56.40% of the total.The score of dimensions of family function was positively correlated with the total score of self-rated health score,mental health and social health.Conclusions The total score of self-rated health score of the elderly in pension institutions is a little lower.A majority of the elderly has different levels of family function disorder,the effect of family function on the elderly' s mental health and social health is bigger than that of the elderly' s physical health.

Objective To investigate the value of peripheral blood for the prognosis of patients withbloodstream infection. Methods A retrospective analysis of patients with bloodstream infection was conducted inthe intensive care unit (ICU) of Mianyang Central Hospital of Sichuan from January 2012 to October 2016. Accordingto the 28-day survival, the patients were divided into survival group and death group. The white blood cell (WBC),neutrophils count (NEU), lymphocyte count (LYM), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte count (MO), eosinophilcount (EO), basophil count (BA), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (PLT) and procalcitonin (PCT) in peripheral bloodwere recorded when patients were diagnosed with blood infection. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC),Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression were used to evaluate the value of these risk factors for predictingthe outcome. Results 305 patients were enrolled. 182 patients survived while 123 patients died during the 28-dayperiod. ① There was no significant difference in gender, age and comorbidities between the two groups. There was nosignificant difference in infection rate between the two groups except for fungal infection rate. The fungal infection ratein the death group was significantly higher than that in the survival group (9.8% vs. 3.3%, P = 0.019). ② The LYM,MO, EO and PLT in the death group were significantly lower than those in the survival group [LYM (×109/L):0.58 (0.29, 0.93) vs. 0.76 (0.44, 1.23), MO (×109/L): 0.47 (0.19, 0.80) vs. 0.58 (0.30, 0.94), EO (×109/L):0.00 (0.00, 0.01) vs. 0.03 (0.01, 0.09), PLT (×1012/L): 89 (47, 148) vs. 126 (82, 186), all P < 0.05]. The NLR in the death group was significantly higher than that in the survival group [17.09 (7.60, 33.51) vs. 12.86 (6.51, 24.85), P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the WBC, NEU, BA, Hb and PCT between the two groups. ③ It was shown by ROC curve analysis that the maximum area under the ROC curve (AUC) of EO was 0.755. When the best cut-off value was 0.015×109/L as a predictor of death in 28 days, the sensitivity was 80.3%, and specificity was 64.7%. ④ It was shown by survival analysis that the 28-day survival rate in the patients with EO < 0.015×109/L was significantly lower than that of patients with EO > 0.015×109/L [38.3% (62/162) vs. 83.9% (120/143), χ 2 = 56.999, P = 0.000]. ⑤ It was shown by Cox regression that EO was the independent factor for 28-day survival (β = 1.466, χ 2 = 39.535, P = 0.000). Risk of death was 4.331 times greater in patients with EO < 0.015×109/L than in those with EO > 0.015×109/L [hazard ratio (HR) = 4.331, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 2.743-6.840]. Conclusions Compared to other parameters in peripheral blood, EO has the best correlation with the prognosis of bloodstream infection. EO is the independent prognostic predictor for 28-day survival.

Broad bean has been extensively cultured in China. Its protein content is found 23.59% and has been as a high protein foodstuff. However its ami-no acid pattern is unbalanced, deficient in s-containing amino acid and tr-yptophan. The nutritional value of broad bean protein studied by rat feeding expeirment have indicated that the protein efficacy ratio (PER) is 0.82-1.19; the net protein ratio (NPR) is 2.52-2.48; the biological value (BV) is 47.88-49.54%; the net protein utilization(NPU) is 45.5-46.1% and the true digestion (TD) is 91.7-95.9%. Except for the TD value, all the 4 indicators of broad bean powder have been shown significantly lower than that of casein (p≤0.05), because of the protein of broad bean deficient in s-containins amino acids and tryptophan. It is suggested that broad bean should be ingested together with other food in order to improve the amino acid component for enhancing its nutritional value.

Objective Using a short-term in vivo laboratory model of murine liver cancer induced with diethylnitrosamine (DEN),we inspected the impact of 5% C.Chrysantha leaves and 5% concentrations on induction of liver cancer with DEN.Methods Laboratory Winstar rats,all being male and SPF grade,were administered with the liver cancer initiator DEN(200?g/kg,ip,once only),then with murine food containing 0.015% 2-AAF (2-Acetaminoflueren) for 2 weeks,following an excision of the augmented parts as a selective promoting program that speeded up the proliferation of precancerous foci from the initiated hepatocytes.On the beginning of this experiment,5% C.Chrysantha leaves and 5% concentration-contained food were given to the trail rats; in contrast,normal food to the control.Rats were killed 3 days after feeding of 2-AAF-contained food.Targeting part of liver were collected for ?-glutamyltranspeptidase (?-GT) staining,and numbers and areas of?-GT positive foci per cm2 of the liver area were calculated using a software designed by us.Results Numbers and areas of?-GT positive foci of the trail are significantly less than those of the control.Conclusion 5% C.Chrysantha leaves and 5% concentrations inhibit the DEN induction to liver cancer.
