A total of 2 153 adolescents aged from 16 to 18 years old from 7 high schools were enrolled. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose was 6.13% and 16.12%, respectively. The independent risk factors are obesity or overweight.

This paper reports the results of a study about the segregational stability of a series of pNK289-derived plasmids. The segregational stability in B. subtilis AS1. 1176 was found to be different among these same originated plasmids. The difference in segregational stability was shown not to be related to the sizes or replication patterns of the plasmids, but to have some relation to their copy numbers. As the unstable plasmid pNK219 can be miaintained stably in B. subtilis BD 224, it can be inferred that the host inheritable background could affect the segregational stability of plasmid. These results not only have laid a foundation for finding out some genes related to the stability of pNK289-derived plasmids, but also provided theoretical basis for constructing stable recombinant plasmid in Bacillus.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and adverse effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture in treatment of ankylosing spondylitis. Methods 46 patients of ankylosing spondylitis with informed consent were randomly divided into observation group and control group by number table,each of 23 cases.The control group received traditional Chinese medicine,the observation group was treated with acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine,the two groups were treated for 1 month,the clinical effect were observed. Results In the observation group,excellent in 18 cases(78.3%),effective in 3 cases(13.0%),ineffective in 2 cases(8.7%),the total effective rate was 91.3%,it was significantly higher than that of control group the 11 cases(47.8%),8(34.8%),4 cases (17.4%)and 82.6%,the difference between the groups was statistically significant(x2=4.572,P＜0.05).The patients of observation group had a rash in 1 case,1 case of pain;in the control group,1 case of rash,1 case of itching;all of the symptoms were relatively minor,did not affect the treatment.There were no significant adverse reactions in the patients of two groups. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture in treatment of ankylosing spondylitis had satisfactory effects and no significant adverse reactions,it was worthy to be recommended in the clinical application.

Objective To provide a valid tool for assessment of the interpersonal climate of research teams by develo -ping a team interpersonal climate questionnaire .Methods Based on literature research and panel study , a pilot question-naire was constructed and handed out to a sample of 378 research graduate students in research teams .The analysis of va-lidity and reliability was conducted by SPSS 16.0 and Amos 17.0 for the questionnaire.Results The interpersonal climate in research teams is a two-facet concept , including mentor-mentee dyadic interpersonal relationship .The peer interpersonal relationship.The mentor-mentee dyadic interpersonal relationship consists of five dimensions: identification, support, developmental direction, individualized care , effectiveness of relationship , with the alpha coefficient ranging fron 0.931 to 0.959, while peer interpersonal relationship has only one dimension .Conclusion ①The interpersonal climate is a two-facet, six-dimension concept .②The self-developed interpersonal climate questionnaire achieves satisfactory validity and reliability .

Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese-version Successful Aging Inventory (C-SAI).Methods The C-SAI was translated according to the Brislin translation model,and its reliability and validity was tested in 181 old adults.Results The content validity index for the scale (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.975.Five factors were extracted by principal components analysis which contributed 58.035％ to the variance.The Cronbach α and split-half reliability was respectively 0.832 and 0.871 for the total scale.Conclusions The C-SAI has good psychometric quality and can be used as a measurement tool for the successful aging.

Objective To investigate the intervention effect of motivational interviewing health education based on trans-theoretical model to hospitalized patients with cerebral infarction on their healthy diet cognition and behavior change.Methods 60 patients with cerebral infarction were selected with convenient sampling method,and in accordance with the incorporating order randomly divided them into the intervention group and the control group,each with 30 cases.The intervention group received the motivational interviewing health education based on the trans-theoretical model,which mainly focused on a healthy diet,while the control group received regular health diet education.The intervention effect was compared between two groups.Results The comparative difference of baseline data between the two groups before intervention had no statistical significance,while after intervention the change on knowledge and attitude of these two groups both had statistical significance,but the intervention group improved more obviously than the control group; In regards to behavior change phrase,comparing the healthy eating behavior phase of the intervention group patients before and after the intervention,it was found that before the intervention only 4 cases were on the stage of about-to-change,accounting for 13.3％,but after the intervention the proportion was up to 40.0％ with 12 cases.Using chi-square test to compare the behavior phrase difference of the patients before and after the intervention,the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions Motivational interviewing technique based on the trans-theoretical model is an effective method in terms of cognitive and behavioral change,and the health education will improve the cognition on healthy diet and the behavior of the hospitalized patients with cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the changes of HPA axis activity following scald stress and to elucidate if NMDA receptor is involved in this change. Methods Adult male Wistar rats were inflicted with 30% TBSA full thickness scalding burn, which was applied as severe trauma stress model. Using this model, we detected the changes of serum cortisol and ACTH concentration in scald rats pretreated with intrahippocampal microinjection of NMDA receptor antagonist MK801 or NMDA receptor 1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide. Results Intrahippocampal microinjection of MK 801 6 ?g resulted in an significant decrease of serum cortisol and ACTH concentration at 2 h after burn, and microinjection of MK 801 12 ?g resulted in a more significant decrease of these values. In accordance with microinjection of MK 801, intrahippocampal microinjection of NMDA receptor 1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide of 10 nmol/L and 20 nmol/L also resulted in a significant and a more significant decrease of serum cortisol and ACTH concentration after burn. Conclusion Hippocampal NMDA receptor plays an important role in over excitation of HPA axis following burn.

Objective To improve the set up accuracy for patients by MED TEC thermoplastic sheet. Methods First, a reference positioning line was scored on the supporting board of MEC TEC. Then, lines on the patient body were marked according to the reference positioning line. After fastening MED TEC thermoplastic sheet, CT top view imagines of patients who were immobilized with MED TEC thermoplastics sheet on the CT scanner were then drawn. The results by PC graphics software were analysed. Results A total of 57 cases was studied. Deviation in 52 (91.2%) cases was less than 3?mm. The cause of the with deviation exceeding 5?mm were all found.Conclusion Using the right method is very important. Thus, results with satisfactory deviations could be obtained when the set up are repeated.
