Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2015;24(3):284-288
Objective Health belief model and theory of reasoned action or theory of planned behavior have been used widely in studies of health behavior and combined to use in many studies to explain and predict definite health behaviors.A systematic review was conducted to analyze how two theories combined in the studies related to health behaviors,to explore general factors influencing different health behaviors,and so that to provide evidence for future health promotion and health education strategies.Methods Nine databases were searched using predetermined search strategies and 322 indexes were identified.Key information of included studies was extracted and the quality of each one was assessed according to Strobe Checklist and Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.Results 40 papers including 37 studies were finally included in this review.6 studies were of high quality,while others were of medium quality.Most studies were cross-sectional survey.Two theories were usually as the framework basis and used to develop research instruments in the included studies.Some researchers used behavioral intention as an outcome variable instead of actual behavior.Subjective norms,perceived susceptibility,and perceived behavior control were the most influencing factors for behavioral intention;perceived barriers,behavioral intention,and perceived behavior control were the most influencing factors for behavior.Conclusions There are some limitations need to avoid in the future studies synthetically using HBM and TRA/TPB.Improving individuals' perceived susceptibility and subjective norms by extending the target population can serve as the common intervention to change health behaviors;further studies should identify individuals' perceived barriers and control beliefs of specific behaviors,and make responding interventions.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that malnutrition was associated with death of elder people after fracture of hip, but there were no above-mentioned reports in China.
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the relationship of blood albumin, total lymphocyte count and hemoglobin levels to prognosis when elder patients with fracture of hip were on admission.
METHODS:130 elderly patients with hip fractures aged ≥ 70 years were included underwent either total hip arthroplasty or bipolar arthroplasty. Admission serum albumin, total lymphocytecount and hemoglobin levels were recorded. The patients were fol owed up for 1 year or til the death. Survival data were available in 92 patients. Rates of survival were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and the Log-Rank test. Cox proportional hazard regression model received prognostic multivariate analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Of the 92 patients, albumin<35 g/L in 20 cases (22%), total lymphocyte count<1.5×106/L in 67 cases (73%), and hemoglobin<120 g/L in 56 cases (61%). Kaplan-Meier method showed that the survival rate of patients with normal albumin (≥ 35 g/L) was significantly higher than those with reduced albumin (<35 g/L) (P<0.01). No significant difference was detected in the survival rate of patients with normal total lymphocyte count (≥ 1.5×106/L) and reduced total lymphocyte count (<1.5×106/L) (P>0.05). The survival rate of patients with normal hemoglobin (≥ 120 g/L) was significantly higher than those with decreased hemoglobin (<120 g/L) (P <0.05). Cox multivariate analysis displayed that albumin decrease is an independent prognostic factor for death of patients with hip fracture. Results indicated that the prognosis of elder patients with hip fracture was strongly associated with their nutritional conditions. Albumin and hemoglobin levels at admission can be considered as important indexes for judging patient’s prognosis.

Objective To observe enhancing effect of nerve regeneration on peripheral nerve defect models bridged by silicone tube idled with valproic acid (VPA). Methods In present research we demon-strate the effect of VPA on peripheral nerve regeneration and recovery of motor function following sciatic nerve transaction in rats. An 8-mm sciatic nerve deficit was created in a rat mode land bridged by a 1-cm silicone tube.Then, 10 lad of 8% VPA were perfused into the silicone chamber in the VPA group. The same volume of normal saline was delivered in the control group. Results Each animal was observed sciatic nerve function index (SFI) at 2-week intervals and studied electrophysiology at 4-week intervals for 12 weeks. Histological and morphometrical analyses were performed at the end of the experiment, 12 weeks after operation. Using the digital image-analysis system, thickness of the myelin sheath was measured, and total numbers of regenerated axons were counted. There was a significant difference in SFI, electrophysiological index (motor-nerve conduct velocity, MCV), and morphometrical results (regenerated axon number and thickness of myelin sheath) in nerve regeneration between the VPA group and controls (P < 0.05). Conclusion The results demonstrated that VPA is able to enhance sciatic nerve regeneration in rats, suggesting the potential clinical application of VPA for the treatment of peripheral nerve injury in humans.

Objective To investigate the serum expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3 (CTRP3) in type II diabetic rats with atheroscle?rosis and to undermine the interventional mechanism of simvastatin. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into normal diet (NC) group (n=8), high-fat diet (HFD) group (n=8), high-fat diet intervention (HFD+S) group (n=8), model (M) group (n=18) and model intervention (M+S) group (n=16). The diabetic atherosclerosis model was established by streptozotocin (STZ)+Vitamin D3(VitD3)+High-fat diet. The group HFD+S and group M+S rats were administrated with simvastatin at 20 mg/(kg·d)intragastrically as intervention while distilled water [20 mL/(kg·d)] were given to other groups. Serum levels of fasting plasma glucose(FPG), blood lipid, fasting insulin(FINS), VEGF, TGF-β1 and CTRP3 were compared between each groups. Results Characteristics of atheromatous plaque were seen in group M and group M+S whose pathological change were markedly attenuated compared to group M. Serum levels of VEGF, TGF-β1 and CTRP3 were significantly high?er in rats from Group HFD than those in rats from group NC. Serum levels of VEGF and TGF-β1 were significantly higher in rats from Group M than those in rats from group NC. Serum level of VEGF was significantly higher in rats from Group M than it in rats from group HFD. Serum level of CTRP3 was significantly lower in rats from Group M than it in rats from group HFD. Moreover, serum levels of TGF-β1 and CTRP3 were significantly higher in rats from Group HFD+S than those in rats from group HFD after the intervention with simvastatin. Serum level of VEGF was significantly lower in rats from Group M+S than it in rats from group M, and serum levels of TGF-β1 and CTRP3 were significantly higher in rats from group M+S than those in rats from group M after the intervention with simvastatin. Conclusion VEGF, TGF-β1 and CTRP3 may partici?pate in development of diabetic atherosclerosis. In addition to its hypolipidemic role, Simvastatin can also down regulate se?rum level of VEGF and up regulate serum levels of TGF-β1 and CTRP3 to exert a significant protective effect on diabetic atherosclerosis.

Objective To study the clinical value of bedside ultrasound in predicting the fluid responsiveness in pa?tients with septic shock in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods Forty-two mechanically ventilated patients with septic shock who admitted to ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from January 2015 to April 2015 were included in this study. All patients were treated with volume expansion (VE) text. Hemodynamics in?dexes were obtained by ultrasound before and after each test, including stroke volume (SV), aortic peak blood flow velocity variation rate of breathing (△VpeakAO), inferior vena cava expansion index (△IVC) and brachial artery maximum speed vari?ation rate (△VpeakBA). Clinical data and central venous pressure (CVP) were recorded. Based on the responsiveness of SV, patients were divided into responsive group (R) and non-responsive group (NR), respectively. The differences of the above in?dexes were compared between two groups. The correlation of△IVC,△VpeakAO,△VpeakBA and△SV was determined. The role of the hemodynamic index for predicting volume responsiveness was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic ROC curves. Results A total of 47 VE tests were performed in 42 patients, 25 in R group and 22 in NR group. Before VE test, the hemodynamics indicators of△IVC,△VpeakAO and△VpeakBA were significantly higher in R group compared with those of NR group (P<0.05). The values of△IVC,△VpeakAO and△VpeakBA were positively correlated with△SV in two groups. The areas under the ROC curve of the hemodynamics indicators were 0.825, 0.853 and 0.866 for △IVC, △VpeakAO and△VpeakBA, and they all showed high sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion The hemodynamic index measured by bedside ultrasound can predict the volume responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients with septic shock fluid therapy, and which can be used to fluid therapy with a high degree of specific and sensitivity in clinical practice.

Objective: To investigate the ultrasound evaluation on lfuid responsiveness in patients with septic shock. Methods: There 42 septic shock patients treated by mechanical ventilation in our hospital from 2015-01 to 2015-04 were studied. All patients received volume expansion (VE) text, ultrasound examination was conducted to measure hemodynamic parameters of inferior vena cava variation rate of breathing (ΔIVC), aortic peak blood lfow velocity variation rate of breathing (ΔVpeakAO), brachial artery maximum speed variation rate (ΔVpeakBA) and stroke volume (ΔSV) at before and after text. Based on the response to VE text, the patients were divided into 2 groups as Responsive group and Non-responsive group, the above indexes and their correlations to ΔSV were analyzed. The clinical values of those parameters for predicting volume responsiveness were evaluated by ROC curves. Results: A total of 47 VE tests were conducted in 42 patients including 25 cases in Responsive group and 22 cases in Non-responsive group. Before VE test, the parameters of ΔIVC, ΔVpeakAO and ΔVpeakBA were higher in Responsive group than Non-responsive group; ΔIVC, ΔVpeakAO and ΔVpeakBA were obviously related to ΔSV (r=0.631, 0.668 and 0.619). The area of ΔIVC, ΔVpeakAO and ΔVpeakBA under ROC curves were 0.817, 0.853 and 0.866 respectively, they were all with the high sensitivity and speciifcity. Conclusion: Ultrasound monitored hemodynamic parameters may predict the volume responsiveness in septic shock patients with mechanical ventilation, it could be used for guiding liquid treatment in relevant patients.
