Objective To explore the influence of the protection motivation theory (PMT) on the self-nursing ability of high-risk diabetic foot (DF) patients. Methods The outpatients in our hospital were selected with high-risk DF between January 2013 and May 2014, randomly divided into the control group and PMT group, 52 cases in each group. Guided under the protection motivation theory, PMT group received a six-month health education and management; and the control group accepted conventional health education of diabetes. Before and after the intervention, some observation indexes of the two groups respectively were evaluated including the ability of diabetic foot self-nursing, foot condition, fasting blood sugar, 2 h postprandial blood glucose. Result After six months, the scores of the self-care ability of diabetic foot and foot condition from the patients of PMT group were higher than that of PMT group before the intervention and that of control group after intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion PMT can help patients with high-risk DF enhance their foot self-care ability, improve their foot condition, control their blood sugar, and prevent the DF onset.

Objective To investigate CT feature after contrast-enhanced and anatomic distribute of the whole body lymph nodes involved by lymphoma. Methods The whole body CT findings in 89 cases (HL 12 cases, NHL 77 cases) of malignant lymphoma were retrospectively analyzed. The contrast-enhanced CT features (size, density and the digree of contrast enhancement) and anatomic distribution of the whole body lymph nodes involved by lymphoma were clarified. Results In the HL group, Diffuse and homogeneous enhancement of the enlarged lymph nodes was found in 9 cases (75.0 %), while homogeneous enhancement of the enlarged lymph nodes with some little necrosis was found in 3 cases (25.0 %). In the NHL group, diffuse and homogeneous enhancement of the enlarged lymph nodes was found in 64 cases (83.1 %), while homogeneous enhancement of the enlarged lymph nodes with some little necrosis was found in 13 cases (16.9 %). There was not statistically significant (Fisher exact probability, P = 0.4461) between the two groups. In the HL group, the enlarged lymph nodes were mixed together in 6 cases (50.0 %), while the enlarged lymph nodes were separate in 6 cases (50.0 %). In the NHL group, the enlarged lymph nodes were mixed together in 8 cases (10.4 %), while the enlarged lymph nodes were separate in 69 cases (89.6 %), there was statistically significant (Fisher exact probability, P = 0.0028). The dominant anatomic distributions of the lymph nodes involved by HL group were neck and mediastinum. The dominant anatomic distributions of the lymph nodes involved by NHL group were neck, mediastinum and abdomen, there was not statistically significant between the anatomic distributions (Fisher exact probability, P =0.110). Conclusion CT can easily demonstrate the involvement and extension of malignant involving the whole body, but CT can not differentiate HL and NHL except for the confluence state.
