1.Application of health education of telephone visit in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2008;24(31):44-45
ObjectiveTo improve the compliance behavior of discharged patients with chronic obsturctive pulmonary disease(COPD)by health education of telephone visit.Methods240 COPD patients were divided randomly into the experimental group and the control group with 120 cases in each group.The experimental group accepted telephone visit regularly for six months after 1 week since discharged from hospital and the control group did not receive any intervention.Six months later,the compliance behavior and the readmission of two groups were compared.ResultsThe results indicated that the compliance behavior of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionsConducting the health education of telephone visit can strengthen the patients' compliance behavior,postpone the process of disease,prevent complications,lighten economic burden and improve their life quality.

Chinese Journal of AIDS & STD 2006;0(06):-
Objective To investigate the knowledge,attitude and related factors associated with HIV/AIDS among female prisoners in Shaanxi province.Method A cross-sectional survey with questionnaire was conducted in 837 female prisoners.Results Of the studied female prisoners 94% had heard of HIV/AIDS.The rate of correct answer on basic knowledge about AIDS was 19.8%-87.3%.The rate of correct answer on the transmission route was 11.6%-87.6%.The rate of correct answer on non-transmission route was 23.4%-48.6%.The rate of correct answer on prevention was 36.7%-57.5%.Of them 46.6%-55.7% were afraid of AIDS,and 26.6%-90.0% had prdjudice and stigma to HIV/AIDS and PLWHA(people living with HIV/AIDS).The factors affecting HIV/AIDS related knowledge included marriage status,career,education background and number of family members.The factors affecting attitude included age and education background.Conclusion The studied female prisoners have wide but superficial knowledge about HIV/AIDS and have expressed over fear for HIV/AIDS.They also cannot tolerate AIDS patients.
4.Effect of Wuji Solution on Excreting Interleukin-8 of SGC-7901 Cells Infected with Helicobacter Pylori in Vitro

Objective To explore the effect of Wuji Solution (He Ji Ju Fang) on excreting IL-8 of SGC-7901 cells infected with Helicobacter pylori (H?pylori) in vitro. Methods H?pylori was inoculated to SGC-7901 cells. ELISA was applied to examine the production of interleukin-8 (IL-8) of cells infected with H?pylori. Results The production of IL-8 of infected cells was lower than that of control group (P

Objective To analyze the causes and explore suitable treatments for the complica-tions induced by polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG) injection for augmentation rhinoplasty. Methods The causes of the complications of 52 cases who accepted PAHG injection for augmentation rhinoplas-ty were analyzed and summarized. All the patients were treated by surgical operations to remove the injected PAHG. Results The complications included infection, granuloma, skin ulceration, bad shape, pain and serious psychological stress. Each case had 1 to 4 complications. Satisfactory results were obtained after suitable treatments. Some cases had silicone or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implant augmentation rhinoplasty at the same time or secondary to the PAHG removal. A few cases had sequelae and long time psychological stress or tend pain of nose. Conclusions The complications induced by PAHG injection for augmentation rhinoplasty are various, and may relate to the inherent character of PAHG and the anatomic features of the nasal soft tissue. Surgery can remove the PAHG as completely as possible, which is a better method to treat the complications of PAHG injection for augmentation rhinoplasty.

Objective To compare the T cell receptor recombination excision cycle (TREC) levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with normal age- and gender- matched controls. To investigate the correlations between TREC levels of SLE patients and their clinical features. Methods We studied TREC levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 21 SLE patients and 22 normal age- and sex- matched controls. TREC concentration was determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time qPCR) as the number of TREC copies/1000 PBMCs. The clinical features of the SLE patients such as systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) , ESR, C reaction protein (CRP) , ANA, anti-dsDNA and complement levels and organ involvement were recorded and assessed. Results SLE patients had lower TREC levels [ (9.6 ± 7.5 )copies/1000 PBMC] than controls[ (16.1 ±11.1) copies/1000 PBMC,P = 0.033]. There was an inverse correlation between age and TREC levels in controls (r =- 0. 614, P = 0. 002) but not in SLE patients.There was an inverse correlation between SLEDAI and TREC levels in SLE patients(r =-0. 656, P =0. 001) and TREC levels seemed to have relations to skin lesions ( r = - 0. 620, P = 0. 003 ). No other clinical association was observed between TREC levels and clinical and laboratory SLE manifestations.Conclusion SLE patients had lower TREC levels than normal controls and there is a tendency that TREC level is reversely correlated with disease activity. The decrease PBMC TREC level is indicative of a low proportion of recent thymic emigrant (RTE) in SLE and could be caused by decreased RTE output and/or by increased peripheral T cell proliferation in this disease. The under-representation of RTE in the peripheral T cell pool may play a role in the immune tolerance abnormalities observed in SLE.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of HR -HPV combined with TCT in the diagnosis of cervical cancer and precancerous lesion.Methods 1 198 cervical specimens were selected for the study.The results of HR -HPV detection and TCT detection were analyzed,with the pathological results as the gold standard,the diag-nostic value of HR -HPV and TCT in the diagnosis of cervical cancer and precancerous lesion were discussed. Results With increasing pathological grade,TCT positive rate increased gradually,there was a correlation between them(r =0.629,P <0.05).With increasing pathological grade,HR -HPV positive rate increased gradually,there was a correlation between them(r =0.684,P <0.05).The sensitivity of HR -HPV combined with TCT in the differ-ential diagnosis of cervical cancer,precancerous lesions was 100.00%,specificity was 79.64%,missed diagnosis rate was 0.00%,the misdiagnosis rate was 20.36%.Conclusion HR -HPV combined with TCT examination has high clinical value in the diagnosis of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions.

As a new-coming concept of internet,healthcare websites have tremendous advantages and disadvantages as well.On the one hand,they provide netizens with advice and support of keeping fit and reducing health-jeopardizing factors.However,on the other hand,there are also some controversies in the conduction of healthcare websites.For instance,how to protect general public from being cheated and induced by harmful and even fatal advices on internet? This paper discusses related risks of healthcare information on the net,and points out that the net performers should give behavioral supports oriented from both the information providers and users in order to build a decent healthcare culture in the digital world.
