Objective To determine the status of self-efficacy and self-care agency of the empty nest elderly patients in the community,and analyze their correlation. Methods A total of 320 empty nest elderly with chronic disease in Fushun, Liaoning Province. The General Information Questionnaire, Exercise of Self-Care Agency scale (ESCA) and the Chronic Disease Self-efficacy Scale were used to investigate the empty nest elderly with chronic disease in the community and analyze the present situation level of the self-care agency and the self-efficacy and the correlation between them. Results General data showed no significant difference between solitary empty-nest elderly and connubial empty-nest elderly (P>0.05). Solitary empty-nest elderly got (93.36 ± 13.49) points and (5.22 ± 0.62) points in ESCA and the Chronic Disease Self-efficacy Scale,which were lower than (98.10±11.34) points and (5.32±0.30) points of connubial empty-nest elderly, the difference was statistically significant (t=-0.866,-0.467, P<0.05). There was significantly positive correlation between self-efficacy and self-care agency (r=0.318, P<0.01). Conclusions There is positive correlation between self-efficacy and self-care agency. It is suggested to implement community-based nursing interventions to enhance their self-efficacy and to promote their self-care agency,there by to improve their quality of life .

Objective To investigate the association between systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) and polymorphism of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 gene(CTLA-4) and the effect on ANA and anti-dsDNA antibody.Methods The A/G substitution was investigated in the exon 1 position 49 in 92 SLE patients and 60 controls by PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP).ANA and anti-dsDNA antibody were examined by indirect fluorescence immunoassay.Results SLE patients had significantly higher frequencies of the CTLA-4+49GG allele than controls(P

Principles of constructing medical information technology curriculum system were pro-posed revolving round the core problem of how to combine needs of developing life science with culturing talents who can independently apply information technology knowledge in studying and researching. De-tailed implementing measures for constructing medical information technology curriculum system were summarized after repeated practical teaching. Longitudinal classification based on discipline and trans-verse classification based on teaching level were combined to construct the whole standard course. Finally, courses were appropriately distributed according to detailed culturing objectives for students in medical universities and colleges,thus a suitable medical information technology curriculum system in medical universities and colleges was formed.

After the need of medical information professionals was analyzed, the reform of training model for medi-cal information professionals in Department of Information Management and Information System, Hubei Medical and Pharmaceutical College, was described in aspects of the position of its training target, construction of its teaching team, optimization of its course teaching system structure, updating of its teaching methods, and improvement of its practical ability training system in order to provide certain beneficial experiences and reference for the training of medical information professionals in higher education institutions.

Objective To understand the types and risk factors of human papillomavirus (HPV ) infection among the patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Chongqing to provide a scientific basis for prevention and treatment of cervical cancer . Methods The patients with TCT screening in many hospital of Chongqing from June 2012 to December 2013 were selected and performed the HPV typing ,9 328 cases succeeded in HPV typing .The main types of HPV infection in different grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were statistically analyzed for determining the risk factors .Results HPV16 was the most common infection type among patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Chongqing area ,followed by HPV52 ,58 ,33 ,18 .Some factors such as multiple sex partners ,young female with sexual debut and induced abortion were the risk factors of HPV infection .Conclusion Single and high-risk type is the main feature of HPV infection among the patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Chongqing .The infection rate is higher with the higher grade of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia .Publicity and education for risk factors of HPV infection should be strengthened ,which will help to prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer .
