Objective To explore the effect of the health education with teaching -back method on senior citizens' hypertension related health literacy in nursing homes. Methods Six nursing homes, randomly selected using stratified cluster random sampling method, were randomly divided into the experiment group and the control group,151 cases in each group. The control group received peer education method, and the experiment group received the health education with teaching-back method on the basis of the control group. The hypertension related health literacy total scores and 4 dimension scores of the two groups were compared before and after the intervention. Results There was no significant difference in the total score and each dimension score of the hypertension related health literacy between the experiment group and the control one before intervention (P>0.05). There was significant difference in the total score and each dimension score of the hypertension related health literacy between the experiment group and the control one after intervention (P<0.001). The total score and each dimension score of the hypertension related health literacy of the experiment group were significantly higher than that of the control group. There was significant difference in the total score and each dimension score of the experiment group before and after intervention (P<0.001). The scores of the experiment group after intervention were significantly higher than before. There was significant difference in the total score, knowledge attainment score, faith accomplishment score and technical accomplishment score of the control group before and after intervention (P < 0.01). The score of the control group after intervention were significantly higher than before. But the behavior literacy before and after intervention was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion The health education with teaching-back method can improve the elderly hypertension related health literacy level and improve the quality of health education.

Objective To observe the effects of bundles intervention in intrahospital transport of critically ill patients.Methods The grouping was performed with the intrahospital transport time periods,the intrahospital transport cases from January to March 2015 were set as the control group and adopted the conventional method;those from April toJune 2015 were set as the observation group and adopted the bundles intrahospital transport strategy.The random sampling was conducted by using the proportion of 5％.The sampling results were 110 cases in the control group and 116cases in the observation group.The occurrence situation of adverse events were observed and compared between the two groups.Results No significant differences were found in the status before intrahospital transport between the two groups(P＞0.05).The incidence rate and grade of adverse events during intrahospital transport process in the observation group were lower than those in the cantrel group with statistical difference between the two groups(P＜0.05);in the analysis of the adverse events causes,the factors such as staff,equipments,disease condition and flow process had statistical difference between the two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion The bundles intervention can reduce the adverse event occurrence of intrahospital transport of critically ill patients and increases the transport security.

Re-evaluation of bioequivalence of generic drugs is one of the key research focus currently. As a means to ensure consistency of the therapeutic effectiveness of drug products, clinical bioequivalence has been widely accepted as a gold standard test. In vitro dissolution testing based on the theory of the BCS is the best alternative to in vivo bioequivalence study. In this article, the conventional dissolution method and flow-through cell method were used to investigate the dissolution profiles of domestic amoxicillin capsules in different dissolution media, and the absorption behavior of the drugs with different release rates (t85% = 15-180 min) in the gastrointestinal tract was predicted by Gastro Plus. The flow-through cell method was thought better to reflect the release characteristics in vivo, and amoxicillin capsules with regard to the release rates up to 45 min (t85% = 45 min) were having a satisfied bioequivalence with the oral solution according to the C(max) and AUC. Although two different dissolution profiles of domestic amoxicillin capsules were found by flow-through cell methods, prediction results revealed that domestic capsules were probably bioequivalent to each other.

The applications of targeting gene delivery systems in tumor therapy have attracted extensive attention of researchers in recent years, as they can selectively deliver the therapeutic gene to tumor sites, improve the success rate of gene therapy and reduce the side effects. Therefore, design and development of novel gene delivery vehicles have been a hot area of current research. Recent studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the ability to migrate towards and engraft into the tumor sites. Therefore, these properties make them a great hope for efficient targeted-delivery vehicles in cancer gene therapy. In this review, we examine the promising of utilization of MSCs as a targeted-delivery vehicle for cancer gene therapy, and summarize various challenges and concerns regarding this therapy.

Objective:To explore therapeutic effect of behavioral nursing on patients with atherosclerotic stenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: A total of 112 patients with atherosclerotic stenosis treated in our hospital were selected.According to ramdom number table and parallel control analysis method, they were randomly and equally divided into routine nursing group and behavioral nursing group (received more active behavioral nursing based on routine nursing group), both groups were treated and observed for six months.The self-care ability scale score before and after nursing, incidence of complications and quality of life (QOL) score after six months were compared between two groups.Results: Compared with before nursing care, after six-month nursing, self-care ability scores significantly rose in both groups, P<0.01 both;compared with routine nursing group after six months, there were significant rise in self-care ability score [(110.34±12.84) scores vs.(128.49±11.39) scores](P=0.001) and each dimension score of QOL(P=0.001 all), and significant reduction in incidence rate of complications (21.4% vs.7.1%,P=0.031) in behavioral nursing group.Conclusion: Behavioral nursing can improve self-care ability, quality of life, promote rehabilitation, effectively reduce occurrence of postoperative complications in patients with atherosclerotic stenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention.

AIM To investigate the effect of DO C(deoxycholic acid) on the absorption of INS-PLA-NP[insulin-loaded poly(lactic acid) nanoparticles] in different sites of gastrointestinal tracts. METHODS After INS-PLA-NP that contained or did not contain DOC was adminitered to different sites in gastrointestianl tracts(stomach, small intestine and colon)of normal rats, the hypoglycemic effect was observed. RESULTS The hypoglycemic effect did not exist after intragastric administration of INS-PLA-NP whether or not DOC was added. The alleviatory hypoglycemic effect was evident after intraintestinal absorption of INS-PLA-NP. After DOC was added, the absorption of INS-PLA-NP was accelerated obviously and the hypoglycemic effect was strengthened significantly. Glucose levels hardly changed after INS-PLA-NP was administered to colon. With the use of DOC, a little hypoglycemic effect appeared. CONCLUSIONS The absorption of INS-PLA-NP in small intestine was accelerated and enhanced by DOC. DOC could be used as absorption enhancer of INS-NP in the future.

By using data mining technology, the characteristics of acupoints selection of modern moxibustion for primary dysmenorrhea (PD) were analyzed. The modern literature regarding moxibustion for PDl was coll6cted~ from a comprehensive retrieval in Chinese Biomedical Medicine (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP and PubMed. The prescription database of moxihustion was established, and the association rule4 method of data mining technology was adopted to analyze characteristics and rules of acupoints selection of modern moxibustion for PD. As a result, a total of 35 acupoints were involved with a total frequency of 399. The acupoints, with higher selected frequency included Guanyuan (CV 4, 90 times), Sanyinjiao (SP 6, 47 times), Shenque (CV 8, 43 times), Zhongji (CV 3, 3 times) and Qihai (CV 6, 28 tirmes); the ratio of yin-meridian acupoints to1 yang-meridian acupoints was approximately 341; the utilization of the specific acupoints accountedfor68. 6% (24/35); the crossing acupoints were used mostly (203 "times), featured with high acupoints selected, especially Guanyuan (CV 4), Sanyinjiao CSP 6) and Zhongji (CV 3); the front-mu points (130 times), he-sa points (19 times) and lower he-sea points (18 times) were frequently used. The results reveal thiat acupoints selection of moxibustion of PD focuses on the local acupoints and comnbination with the distal acupoints. The yin-meridian acupoints are preferred and the specific acupoints are the main part of the prescription. This conclusion can also be used to optimize the choosing of acupoints in clinic.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of microRNA-10a-5p (miR-10a) in laryngeal epithelial premalignant lesions (LEPL) and to analyze the correlations of its dysregulation with clinicopathologic parameters of LEPL.

METHODSAccording to the WHO classification (2005), 94 cases of LEPL were grouped into mild dysplasia (MID), moderate dysplasia (MOD), severe dysplasia (SD) and carcinoma in situ ( CIS). The expression of miR-10a in 94 cases of LEPL was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and correlated with the clinical and follow-up data of all LEPL patients.

RESULTSmiR-10a was down-regulated in LEPL with increasing grade of dysplasia. There was significantly statistical difference between low-risk ( MID + MOD) and high-risk ( SD + CIS) lesion groups (P = 0.03). The linear regression analysis showed that miR-10a was correlated with grade and gender of LEPL (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSDown regulation of miR-10a may be a useful molecular marker for grading of LEPL and diagnosis of early laryngeal cancer.
