Objective To investigate the incidence of sub-health fatigue among medical workers exposing to radioactive rays, and to observe the therapeutic effect of Bushen Jianpi recipe on sub-health fatigue. Methods An investigation was carried out among 1 056 medical workers exposing to radioactive rays which were from the medical and sanitary institutions of Guangzhou city. Sixty cases subjecting to the inclusion criteria were sampled from the investigated population by epidemiological methods for the randomized controlled trial. The subjects were evenly randomized into treatment group and control group. Both groups received health education and health-promoting lifestyle, and the treatment group was given self-prescribed Bushen Jianpi recipe additionally. The treatment lasted for 4 weeks. The scores of Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory ( MFI-20) and Sub-health Measurement Scale Version 1.0 ( SHMS V1.0) were observed before and after treatment, and the therapeutic effect was evaluated after treatment. Results ( 1) We got 976 effective questionnaires, and the effective response rate was 92.4%. Among the admitted 976 workers, the incidence of sub-health state was 66.8% (652/976) and that of sub-health fatigue is 31.4% ( 205/976). ( 2) The total effective rate was 80.0% in the treatment group and was 36.7% in the control group, the difference being significant ( P<0.01). ( 3) After treatment, the scores of MFI-20 and SHMS V1.0 were decreased in the treatmeat group, and fatigue symptom scores were decreased in the control group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) , the decrease in the treatment group being superior to that in the control group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion The incidence of sub-health fatigue is popular in the medical workers exposing to radioactive rays, and Bushen Jianpi recipe has an effect on improving the sub-health fatigue.

AIM: To examine the relation between serum concentrations of interleukin-18, interleukin-10, interleukin-6 and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS: Serum concentrations of IL-18, IL-10, IL-6 were measured in 17 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 30 patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP), 15 patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) and 20 controls by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA).The relation between IL-18, IL-6 and IL-10 was compared. RESULTS: Serum concentrations of IL-18, IL-6 were significantly increased in the AMI and UAP groups in comparison with the SAP and control groups. Conversely, serum concentrations of IL-10 were significantly decreased in the AMI and UAP groups in comparison with the SAP and control groups. The correlation of concentrations of IL-18 and IL-6 had no significance; but the levels of IL-18 and IL-6 were negatively correlated with IL-10. CONCLUSION: Serum IL-18, IL-6 concentrations increase while serum IL-10 concentration decreases in patients with acute coronary syndromes. The inflammatory imbalance between IL-18, IL-6 and IL-10 may play an important role in the instability of atherosclerotic plaque.

Objective To explore the influence of social support and coping style on body and mind symptoms of patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Methods SCL-90, SSRS and MCMQ were used for the questionnaire survey of 168 patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Results The result of SCL-90 showed that all items were higher than those of norm in China, except the interpersonal relationship sensitivity and psychotic symptoms. The result of SSRS showed that the total score of social support was higher than that of norm, while the availability of support was obviously lower than that of norm. The result of MCMQ showed that avoidance and submissiveness were used frequently in patients, and avoidance was negatively correlat-ed with the factors of psychology. Conclusions Before the nursing plan and health consultation are set for patients with laryngeal carcinoma, the patients' social support should be used sufficiently, and the effect of coping style on patients' mental health should be evaluated.

Objective To explore the effects of health education video based on Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) model in patients with initial stroke. Methods A total of 146 patients with initial stroke hospitalized in General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command of PLA from January to August 2016 were selected and randomly divided into control group (n=74) and observation group (n=72) according to the hospitalized ward. The control group received routine health education. In the observation group, health education videos based on KAP mode were circulated daily in the ward on the basis of the control group. Before the intervention, at the time of discharge, and one month after discharge, the scores of the disease related knowledge and the Champion Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS) were compared between the two groups. One month after discharge, the scores of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) were compared between the two groups. Results At the time of discharge, the scores of disease related knowledge and CHBMS were (6.49±1.34) and (111.58±17.95) respectively, which were both higher than those of the control group, with statistical significance (t=4.448, 6.695;P<0.01). One month after discharge, the score of MMAS-8 was (6.05±1.43), which was higher than that of the control group (4.50±1.06), with statistical significance (t=7.454, P< 0.01). Conclusions Health education video based on KAP model can improve the knowledge, health belief and medication compliance of patients with initial stroke. The video strengthens the knowledge of patients with initial stroke, which is conducive to the formation of the correct attitude and behavior of patients, suitable for further promotion in the future.

OBJECTIVE To explore the role of runt-related transcription factor 3(RUNX3) in the tumorgenesis and progression of cervical carcinoma. METHODS The immunohistochemical staining technique was used to detect the expression of RUNX3 protein in 25 cases of normal cervix, 34 intraepithelia neoplasia (CIN), and 48 cervical carcinomas. SYBR Green I chimeric fluorescence Real-time PCR was applied to detect the expression of RUNX3 mRNA in 10 cases of normal cervix, 24 CIN, and 30 cervical carcinomas. RESULTS The expressions of RUNX3 protein and mRNA in normal cervix, CINI,CINII-III, and cervical carcinoma tissues tended to be down-regulated. There was significant difference among these groups (P<0.05). The expressions of RUNX3 protein and mRNA in the cervical carcinoma tissues were correlated with the histological differentiation, clinical stage, and lymphatic metastasis (P<0.05), but had no relationship with the age, high-risk human papillomavirus infection, and histological classification (P> 0.05). CONCLUSION RUNX3 may function as a tumor suppressor gene in the occurrence and progression of cervical carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Wubao capsule on airway inflammation in asthmatic model mice by regulating upstream and downstream cytokines of type Ⅱ innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). METHODS Totally 40 female BABL/c mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive control group (dexamethasone 1 mg/kg), Wubao capsule low-dose and high-dose groups (0.5, 1 g/kg), with 8 mice in each group. Asthma models were induced by ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization and nebulization. Each group was given normal saline or drug intragastrically for 7 consecutive days. The contents of IgE and OVA-IgE in serum, the contents of interleukin 5 (IL-5), IL-9, IL-13, IL-25, IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were determined by ELISA. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissues in mice. PAS staining was used to observe the changes of goblet cell proliferation in each group. The number of ILC2s in lung tissue was determined by flow cytometry (except for Wubao capsule low-dose group). RESULTS Compared with model group, the contents of IgE and OVA-IgE in serum and the contents of IL-5, IL-9, IL-13, IL-25, IL-33, TSLP and MUC5AC in BALF were significantly reduced in Wubao capsule high-dose and low-dose groups (P<0.01). The infiltration of inflammatory cells and the thickening of basement membrane in lung tissue was alleviated to varying degrees, and the proliferation of goblet cells was inhibited; the number of ILC2s in lung tissues of mice in Wubao capsule high-dose group was significantly reduced (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Wubao capsule could effectively reduce the number of ILC2s in lung tissue, the contents of upstream and downstream cytokines of ILC2s in BALF of asthmatic model mice, so as to inhibit the airway inflammation and improve asthma.
