The proper orthogonai decomposition (POD) method for the instatiouary Navier-Stokes equations is considered. Several numerical approaches to evaluating the POD eigenfunctions are presented. The POD eigenfunctions are applied as a basis for a Galerkin projection of the instationary Navier-Stokes equations. And a low-dimensional ordinary differential models for fluid flows governed by the instationary Navier-Stokes equations are constructed. The numerical examples show that the method is feasible and efficient for optimal control of fluids.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economics of azithromycin vs. amocillin clavulante in the treatment of lower respirato-ry tract infections. METHODS:System evaluation was adopted to retrieve the randomized controlled trials(RCT)about azithromy-cin(test group)vs. amoxicillin clavulanate(control group)in the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections. Information was col-lected and Meta-analyses were performed. On this basis and short-term decision tree model,cost factors were added to conduct the pharmacoeconomics by the principle of PICO of Treeage Pro 2011 edition software. RESULTS:Totally 18 RCT were enrolled,in-volving 3 365 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the effective rate [RR=0.93, 95%CI(0.55,1.55),P=0.77] and incidence of adverse reactions [RR=0.79,95%CI(0.62,1.0),P=0.05] between 2 groups. The av-erage treatment cost in test group and control group was respectively 790.4 yuan and 884.4 yuan,and cost-effectiveness ratio was respectively 216.0 and 245.7,and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER)was -1 392.59. CONCLUSIONS:Azithromycin has similar efficacy and safety to amoxicillin clavulanate in the treatment of lower respiratory tract infection,however,azithromy-cin has better cost-effectiveness.

Objective To explore the correlation between health value and health-promoting lifestyle in elderly people at nursing home. Methods Totally 130 elderly people from nursing home were investigated with health value scale and health-promoting lifestyle profile II to understand the status of their health value and health-promoting lifestyle and the correlation between them. Results The mean score of health value was 7.78±1.58, which was in the middle level;The mean score of health-promoting lifestyle was 132.78±14.99. Among all dimentions. nutrition scored highest, while health responsibility and physical activity scored lowest. The health value was positively correlated with the health-promoting lifestyle among nursing home elderly people (P<0.01). Their own health status and health value were influencing factors of health promoting-lifestyle, which could be explained at 43.5%of the variance. Conclusions The nursing home for elderly people were good in health value and average in health-promoting lifestyle. The elderly with a higher health value had better health-promoting lifestyle. Health care workers should improve elderly people′s level of health value, and give more help and guidance to the elderly people for physical activity and health responsibility, making them establish healthy lifestyle.
