Objective To explore the effects of self-management strategies on self-efficacy and selfmanagement behavior in female college students with primary dysmenorrhea.Methods Implementing the plan that the interventional group (n=195) received self-management strategies,while the control group (n =196) did not received any intervention.Followed up six months,the self-efficacy and self-management behaviors and Visual Analogue Scale/Score (VAS) of dysmenorrhea pain were compared between two groups before and after the intervention.Results At the 6th month of observation period,the scores of self-efficacy in the intervention group (2.61 ±0.48) were significantly improved compared with the baseline (2.37 ± 0.36) and the control group(2.43±0.46) (both P＜0.05).Besides taking medicine to alleviate dysmenorrhea,other items in the self-management behaviors were significantly higher than baseline and control group (both P＜ 0.05).The mean of dysmenorrhea pain VAS of 6th menstrual period in the intervention group was lower than baseline and the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The self-management strategies can effectively improve the self-efficacy and self-management behaviors among female college students,and alleviate the degree of dysmenorrhea pain.

A serocpidemiologic study was conducted to approach the relation between HBV infection and PLC. In PLC patients, the positivity rates of HBsAg and anti-HBc are higher than that in the tumor and donors groups, but that of anti-HBs is lower. No significant difference between the HBV infections rates for PLA patients and donors was found. HBV infections pattern of patients with liver cirrhosis is very close to that of those with PLC.The outcome prompts that there is a relation between HBV infection and PLC, but it is not only one.

12 gestational-week uterus) were treated in our hospital by LAVH. The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,and postoperative recovery of the patients were compared to another 110 cases that underwent TAH. Results The operation time in the TAH group was significantly shorter than that in the LAVH group [(109?27) min vs (130?22) min,t=-6.441,P=0.000]. During the operation,the LAVH group had a mean of (121?70) ml blood loss,which was significantly lower than that in the TAH group [(141?73) ml,t=-0.903,P=0.368]. After the operation,the patients in the TAH group had longer recovery time for gastrointestinal function and longer hospital stay than those in the LAVH group [(45?13) h vs (24?6) h,t=15.778,P=0.000;and (7?2) d vs (5?2) d,t=7.530,P=0.000]. Conclusions Compared to TAH,LAVH results in shorter hospital stay and fewer postoperative complications. It is a feasible and safe treatment for large uterus.

Objective To analyze the performance of a rapid immunofluorescence assay for plasma NT-proBNP. Methods Human plasma NT-proBNP was measured by RAMP in 264 healthy cases and 78 patients with heart failure. The precision, stability, linearity and interference factors of RAMP were evaluated according to the protocold from America CLSI. Meanwhile, the results were compared with those obtained by Elecsys. Results Functional sensitivity of RAMP in 20% CV and 10% CV were 48 ng/L and 57 ng/L respectively. The linear range was 18-8 000 ng/L. NT-proBNP in plasma samples detected by RAMP were stable at room temperature for 24 hours, 4 ℃ for 3 days and - 20 ℃ for 20 days. No influences on results were observed throughout three freeze-thaw cycles. The results measured by RAMP were compared between EDTA-K2 anticoagulant plasma and heparin anticoagulant plasma, which showed that YEDTA-K2 =0. 953 9 Xheparin + 0. 365 2 ( R2 = 0. 982, P < 0. 01, n = 40 ). The results of EDTA-K2 and heparin anticoagulant plasma using RAMP and Elecsys showed no significant difference( P ＞0. 05). Slight hemolysis( Hb 2 g/L)had small effect on the results of PAMP and Elecsys assays and deviations of them were below 5%. However median and heavy hemolysis( Hb 3-4 g/L )obviously influenced the results with deviation were more than 15%. The values measured by RMAP fell from 390 ng/L to 82 ng/L, and those measured by Elecsys method fell from 390 ng/L to 178 ng/L when 3 different concentrations of triacylglycerol were added, the values measured by two methods fell from 7 777 ng/L to 7 741 ng/L when bilirubin ( 16-330 μmol/L) was added. The anti-interference ability of RAMP method was similar to Elecsys. Results detected with two methods in 45 EDTA-K2 anticoagulant plasma samples were analyzed with Passing and Bablok regression.The regression equation was YRAMP = 0. 972 8XElecsys - 0. 035 2 (R2 = 0. 994, P ＞ 0. 05, n = 45 ). When heparin anticoagulant plasma samples increased to 78 samples, Passing and Bablok regression equation showed:YRAMP= 0. 983 2XElecsys - 0. 037 6 ( R2 = 0. 991, P ＞ 0. 05, n = 78 ). NT-proBNP levels in healthy adults were elevated along with age and related to the gender. The median value of female[105(60-120) ng/L] was higher than that of male [59 ( 44-91 ) ng/L, Z = 3. 264, P < 0. 01] significantly. Conclusions RAMP method has good repeatability, outstanding stability, and broad linear range. The results detected by RAMP is consistent with results detected by Elecsys.

Objective To investigate the relevance of liver function and neurobehavior of offspring of SD rats ex-posed to sodium valproate in the second trimester. Methods 30 SD rats at 12. 5 d of pregnance were randomly di-vided into three groups: low-dose group (300 mg/kg VPA was injected into abdominal cavity), high-dose group (600 mg/kg VPA);control group (normal saline). The offspring of low-dose groupe were grouped as VPA-low-dose;the offspring of high-dose groupe were grouped as VPA-high-dose; and the offspring of control group were grouped as control group. Then, we tested the liver and neurological function of each group of offspring, respective-ly, and analyzed their relevance. Results The levels of serum total protein and albumin of the high-dose group were considerably lower than these of the low-dose group which were significantly lower than these of control group ( P<0. 01 for both total protein and albumin);the levels of ALT, AST and blood ammonia of the high dose group were drastically higher than these of the low dose group, which were dramatically higher than these of control group ( P<0. 01 ) . The duration and of stereotyped movement disorder in experimental group was markedly longer than this of the control group, while this of the high-dose group was notably longer than this of the low-dose group ( P<0. 01 );the frequency of the stereotyped movement disorder of experimental group was significantly more than this of the control group, while this of high-dose group was obviously more than this of the control group (P<0. 01). In the Morris water maze, the escape latency of the high-dose group was remarkably longer than this of low-dose group, which was observably longer than this of control group (P<0. 01);the swimming distance of the high-dose group was tremendously shorter than this of low-dose group, which was considerably shorter than this of control group ( P<0. 05 , P<0. 01 ) . Correlation analysis of liver function and neural behavior showed that the neurobe-havioral abnormalities were negatively correlated with level of total protein and albumin, and were positively related with the level of blood ammonia, ALT and AST ( P<0. 01 ) . Conclusion The VPA exposure in the second tri-mester leads to the decrement of serum albumin and total protein and to the increment of AIL, AST and blood am-monia;and it also causes the neurobehavioral abnormalities of offspring. The reduction of synthesis of liver albumin and the rise of ALT, AST and blood ammonia can influence the neurobehavioral abnormalities. And there were both of the factors which result in the neurobehavioral abnormalities of offspring exposured to VPA in the second trimes-ter.
