ObjectiveTo determine whether the Chinese version of 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) can be taken as an effective assessment to evaluate the quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods30 patients with knee osteoarthritis were tested twice in 3 d with the Chinese version SF-36 by two standard-trained testers. The Cronbach's α coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were investigated. ResultsThe ICC of total scores and parts scores in the Chinese version SF-36 were 0.54～0.91, while the Cronbach's α coefficients were 0.70～0.95. ConclusionThe Chinese version SF-36 is reliable in evaluating the quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Objective To investigate the analgesic efficacy of intravenous administration of lidocaine in patients following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Twenty-five ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 30-55 yr,weighing 50-70 kg, scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were enrolled in this study. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg was injected intravenously immediately before anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous fentanyl 2 μg/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg and rocuronium 1 mg/kg and maintained with inhalation of isoflurane (end-tidal concentration 1.5%-2.0%) and intermittent iv boluses of rocuronium after tracheal intubation. Lidocaine was infused abdominal intravenously at a rate of 1.5mg·kg-1·h-1 form the end of ofperation to 24 h after operation. The degree of abdominal pain and shoulder pain was assessed with VAS score at 1, 6, 12 and 24 h after operation. The effective analgesia was defined as VAS score of ≤ 3. The adverse reactions were recorded. Results The effective analgesia rate was 100% within 24 h after operation. No adverse reactions occurred. Conclusion Intravenous administration of lidocaine exerts satisfactory analgesia in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective To establish a method for determination of rutin in Xueguankang Tea. Methods RP-HPLC method and C18 column were used for determination. Methanol-water-acetic acid (40∶60∶1) was the mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 257 nm. Results There was a good linear relationship of rutin within the range of 0.06～0.3 ?g with r=0.999 2. The average recovery of rutin was 98.48 % with RSD=0.87% (n=5). Conclusion This method is convenient,sensitive,accurate and reproducible,and can be used for the quality control of Xueguankang Tea.

A variety of opportunistic infections can occur in the late-stage of HIV-1 infection,Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection is a common cause of disseminated bacterial infection. Since the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART),the rate of MAC infection has declined substantially,but there is risk in individuals with low CD4 cell counts. This article describes the epidemiological,clinical,therapeutic and preventive aspects of MAC infection in HIV-sero-positive individuals.

ObjectiveTo study HIV-1 DNA levels in different parts of HIV patients during the early stage of antiretroviral therapy.MethodsThe peripheral blood,gut associated lymphoid tissues and lymph nodes samples were collected before and 12 weeks after treatment in regular follow-up HIV-1/AIDS patients in Beijing Youan Hospital ( n =11 ).The average age was 39 years old ( 25 to 55 ).Mononuclear Cells were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and then used DNA extraction kit to extract DNA.Realtime quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to examine HIV-1 DNA copy-number.Non-parametric test was used to analyse the differences of HIV-1 DNA copy numbers among groups.Results Before treatment,HIV-1 DNA copy-number in both gut associated lymphoid tissues ( 10 714 ± 2043 ) copies/106 cells and lymph nodes (9145 ± 1202) copies/106 cells were higher than that in the peripheral blood (66 ± 8) copies/106 cells ( U =0.00,P ＜0.05 ),There was no significant difference between lymph nodes and gut associated lymphoid tissues (U =46.00,P ＞0.05).After 12 weeks of treatment,HIV-1 DNA copy-number in both gut associated lymphoid tissues (1701 ± 790) copies/106 cells and lymph node (11 591 ± 1781 ) copies/106 cells were higher than the peripheral blood ( 18 ± 3 ) copies/106 cells ( Z =- 2.934,P ＜ 0.05 ).There was a significant reduction of DNA copy-number in gut associated lymphoid tissues and peripheral blood after treatment (Z =- 2.934,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Gut associated lymphoid tissues and lymph nodes may be important latent reservoirs for HIV-1 DNA.

Objective To establishthe sensitivity indexes system for estimating nursing quality which conforms to China's national conditions and have the certain representative among the whole country. Methods After usingStructure-process-outcome as the theoretical framework and surveying the literatures domestic and abroad,a total of 42 nursing management experts from 30 provinces were consulted by the Delphi method,including symposium and two rounds of questionnaire consultation. Results The authority coefficient of the two rounds consultation were 0.89 and 0.91,familiarity coefficient were 0.86 and 0.88 respectively,and the coordination coefficient of expert opinion were 0.20 and 0.25. The sensitivity indexes system for estimating nursing qualityconsists of two level index systems,which were divided into three first level indexes and seven second level indexes. The first level index in-cluded nursing manpower allocation,nursing safety and nursing events,while the second level index includes nurse-inpatient ratio,accuracy rate of identification,the number of medication error events,the number of blood transfusion error events,the number of specimen error events,the number of drug extravasation events and high-risk patient falls (falling bed) incidence. Conclusion The results of this study are reliable. There is a clear definition and interpreta-tion of sensitivity indexes for estimating nursing quality and index monitoring is operable.

Objective To study the relationship among static and dynamic position sense of lower extremity, physical function, and static and dynamic balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods 32 patients with knee osteoarthritis were tested with Lequesne Index, static and dynamic position sense of lower extremity, and fall risk of static and dynamic balance, and analyzed with Pearson correlation coefficient. Results The medium-to-high-frequency in postural sway correlated with Lequesne Index (r=0.36, P<0.05) and fall risk index of static balance (r=0.85, P<0.001), but not with the fall risk index of dynamic balance (r=0.30, P>0.05). The reposition accuracy error of the unaffected/ mild-affected lower extremity and affected/severe-affected lower extremity correlated with Lequesne Index (r=0.33~0.39, P<0.05), the fall risk index of static (r=0.38~0.45, P<0.05) and dynamic balance (r=0.65~0.70, P<0.05). Conclusion Lower extremity dysfunction post knee osteoarthritis would result in poor proprioception that maintains balance.

Objective To explore the feature of balance function and falling risk in the elderly knee osteoarthritis patients with single knee pain or double knees pain. Methods 30 elderly knee osteoarthritis patients without pain, 30 with single knee pain and 32 with double knees pain were tested with timed up and go test (TUG), postural stability (PS), limits of stability (LOS) and dynamic fall index (DFI). Results There was significant difference in the elderly between no pain and single or double knee pain (P<0.05) in TUG, but not between the single knee pain and double knees pain (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the elderly between single knee pain and no pain (P>0.05) in PS, but was between double knees pain and the other 2 groups (P<0.05). There was significant difference between no pain and single or double knee pain (P<0.05) in LOS, but not between single knee pain and double knees pain (P>0.05). There was significant difference between no pain and single or double knee pain (P<0.05) in DFI, and between single knee pain and double knees pain (P<0.05). Conclusion The elderly osteoarthritis patients with single knee pain are in high falling risk with their dynamic balance injury, while those with double knees pain are in higher falling risk with their static and dynamic balance injury.

Human height, a complex trait with over 80% heritability, is determined by genetic and environment factors. Currently, a certain amount of specific variants about human height have been found, especially with the widely used of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in genetics research, making it a great progress for the discovering of height associated genes. However, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found by GWAS can only explain a minority of the heritable. This article reviews the progress of GWAS about height associated genes and missing heritability domestic and overseas.
