Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of self-efficacy in patients from rural area of Xiamen with hypertension in the model of "Three Division Co Management". Methods A total of 245 patients with hypertension were recruited and investigated with general questionnaire and Self-efficacy Assessment Scale for Hypertensive. Results The mean score of self-efficacy was 29.59 ± 3.69. Among the patients, 48.6%(119/245) of them had a higher level score on self-efficacy, 45.7% (112/245) of them had the self-efficacy score at the middle level, but 5.7% (14/245) of them were at the low level. The dimensions which index of score from top to low were drug therapy (71.92%), health behavior (68.67%), daily life (65.50%) and compliance behavior (62.33%) in sequence. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that gender and family income were influencing factors of self-efficacy which could explain 13.3%of the variance. Conclusions In the model of"Three Division Co Management", the score of self-efficacy among the patients in rural area was at middle level, close to high level, still need to be improved. Health care workers should focus more on the patients, male and whose family income less than 50 thousand yuan per year and help them enhancing self-efficacy to control hypertension efficiently.

The application of micro-lectures in higher medical education is still in a stage of exploration.The au-thors applied the micro-lectures with the traditional teaching method in the teaching of physiology, and conducted a questionnaire survey about it.In this article, the authors summarized the developing process, the students’attitude and the video production of micro-lectures, and compared the micro-lecture with traditional teaching method and MOOCS.At last, they gave some suggestions about application of micro-lectures in higher medical college.

Objective To explore the method and effect of transinfection of rabbit early knee osteoarthritis models via chitosan microsphere with gene of recombined human IL-1Ra gene and TGF-β1 gene. Methods Chitosan microspheres with plasmids of IL-1Ra gene and TGF-β1 gene, and rabbit early knee osteoarthritis models were prepared. Rabbits in different groups had intra-articular injections of chitosan microsphere containing IL-1Ra gene and / or TGF-β1 gene, and chitosan solution as control group before being executed regularly and randomly. The joint specimens were evaluated by HE staining, lycopene red O staining and immunohistochemical analysis and Mankin's score. ELISA was used for detection of IL-IRa and TGF-β1 concentration of articular cavity fluid in each group. Results The control group was consistent with the pathological changes of early OA. In co-transinfection group, judging from the appearance and staining of cartilage,the OA damage of the specimens was less serious than other groups'. Its Mankin's score was significantly lower than single-gene transinfection group (P ＜ 0.05), and the latters Mankin's score were significantly lower than control group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Intra-articular injection of chitosan microspheres containing both IL-1Ra gene and TGF-β1 gene could inhibit the degeneration of cartilage and promote cartilage repair.

Objective To screen monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for early diagnosis of invisive Aspergillus. Methods Monoclonal antibodies against different antigens of Aspergillus fumigatus were produced. The two pairs of combinations of monoclonal antibodies were selected accoring the distinct epitopes and double-antibody sandwich ELISA based on mAbs above were established. The sensitivity and specificity of the methods were analyzed by detecting culture supernatants of clinical isolates and environmental isolatesof Aspergillus. spp, Penicillium Marneffei, Candidas, and serum from animal models and patients. The epitopes recognized by mAbs were identified by immunobotting. Results A total of 32 hybridoma cell lines that stably produced MAbs were obtained. Two double- antibody sandwich ELISAs were established. One method was specific for 19 clinical isolates and environmental isolates of Aspergillus. spp, whereas the other one was specific for the clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus without cross-reation with other Aspergillus. spp. For the same kind of medium of Aspergillus fumigatus, the sensitivity of the first method was 10 fold higher than the second method. Conclusions The specific mAbs for early diagnosis of invisive Aspergillus were obtained. Antigen recognized by the specific mAbs was mannoprotein with molecular weights of approximately 25 000-75 000. This antigen was potential early diagnostic marker for invasive Aspergillus.

BACKGROUND: Both aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 polymorphism and lifestyle behaviors are involved in coronary artery disease (CAD), while the interaction between them is currently unknown. METHODS: A nested case-control study was conducted in 161 patients with CAD and 495 controls in dyslipidemia population in Yinzhou District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China, in August 2013. Anthropometric data and blood samples were collected, demographic characteristics and lifestyle behaviors information were obtained by a face-to-face interview, dietary intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire, and genomic DNA was genotyped. RESULTS: Carriers with increasing number of A alleles had an elevated CAD risk compared with G allele carriers (adjusted OR = 1.483, 95% CI = 1.114-1.974). Carriers of rs671 A/G and A/A genotypes had a higher CAD risk than carriers of G/G genotype (adjusted OR = 1.492, 95% CI = 1.036-2.148). Similarly, individuals with rs671 A/A genotype had a higher CAD risk than individuals with A/G and G/G genotypes (adjusted OR = 2.161, 95% CI = 1.139-4.101). We found a borderline additive interaction between regular fried food intake and A/A and A/G genotypes, and a significantly additive interaction between sedentary/light physical activity and A/A and A/G genotypes. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with A/A or A/G genotypes of rs671 have a higher CAD risk, if they lack physical activity and take fried food regularly, than individuals with G/G genotypes. These findings can help to provide a guide to targeted heart health management.
