Objective:To explore the applification value of self-manufacture anti-fall alarm system on elderly inpatients at high risk of falls.Methods:A total of 110 elderly inpatients at high risk of falls were randomly assigned to experiment group (55 cases) and control group (55 cases), the control group were given routine care of fall prevention, the experiment group was carried out self-manufactured anti-fall alarm system. Patients were followed up for 2 weeks, the fall rates in two groups were recorded, the fall efficacy was assessed by modified fall efficacy scale at enrollment and discharge, the nursing care satisfaction was eveluated by nursing needs and satisfaction scale.Results:There was no fall patient in the experiment group, and 4 fall patients (7.3%) in the control group, the fall rate was significantly decreased in the experiment group compared to the control group ( χ2 value was 4.151, P=0.042). The scores of take a bath or a shower, get in/out of bed, answer the door or telephone, walk around the inside of your house and total MFES scores were significantly increased in the experiment group compared to the control group [(4.55±0.81)points, (6.68±1.39)points, (5.23±1.14)points, (5.97±0.86)points, (67.98±4.28)points vs. (3.13±0.49)points, (5.27±0.94)points, (4.57±1.10)points, (4.57±0.55)points, (63.17±3.66)points], the differences was statically significant ( t value was 3.090-11.049,all P<0.05). The scores of service and technology, environment and guidance, overall evaluation were significantly increased in the experiment group compared to the control group [(51.60±13.75)points, (46.76±14.18)points, (5.97±0.72)points vs (45.67±9.17)points, (41.65±10.82)points, (5.29±0.90)points], the differences was statically significant ( t value was 2.124-4.424,all P<0.05). There were 91.7% (11/12) nurses satisfacted to the self-manufactured anti-fall alarm system. Conclusion:Self-manufactured anti-fall alarm system can effectively prevent fall incidence and promote fall efficacy and nursing care satisfaction of elderly inpatients at high risk of falls.

Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether active part of Glycyrrhiza extract (GL)induced apoptosis in Hela cells and its inhibitory mechanism.Methods HeLa cells were treated with 25 g/mL of GL for 24hs.Cell viability and apoptosis in HeLa cells were determined by MTT,AO/EB fluorescent double staining,transmission electron microscope(TEM),and Western blot.Results The MTT results showed that GL significantly inhibited the proliferation of HeLa cells in a dose-response.After treatment for 24 hrs,large number of early apoptotitc cell were observed using AO/EB fluorescent double staining and TEM.The expression of Pro-caspase-9 and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein was higher in GL-treated cells them those of the control cells(P<0.05).Conclusion GL can activate Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 genes to induce apoptosis in HeLa cells.

ObjectiveTo analyze the quality changes of Platycladi Semen before and after the deterioration of moth-eaten and rancidity during storage. MethodFour types samples of Platycladi Semen, including normal, moth-eaten, oxidative rancidity and hydrolytic rancidity, were determined for volatile components, odor, and taste based on headspace solid phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) and electronic sensory techniques such as electronic nose and electronic tongue. Volatile components were identified by searching the database and manual comparison, the odor and taste were determined by the response values of the electronic nose and electronic tongue sensors, and the difference between samples before and after deterioration was studied by multivariate statistical analysis. ResultA total of 85 compounds were identified in Platycladi Semen samples. Compared with the normal samples, the number of volatile compounds in samples after hydrolytic rancidity decreased by 5, the number of volatile compounds in samples after moth-eaten and oxidative rancidity increased by 1 and 21, respectively. Aldehydes and acids accounted for majority of types. Among them, the contents of N-hexanoic acid, hexanal and propionic acid in the samples of oxidative rancidity reached 11.49%, 10.21% and 7.52%, which became the key indicators of rancidity. There was significant variance among the odor components corresponding to W1W, W2W and W1S sensors by electronic nose analysis. It was indicated that the value of sourness in deteriorated samples generally increased by mean of electronic tongue analysis. Compared with normal samples, the moth-eaten samples had changed slightly and rancidity samples had changed significantly especially oxidative rancidity samples of volatile components, odor and taste by multivariate statistical analysis. ConclusionIn terms of Platycladi Semen, the oxidative rancidity caused by nature storage for 12 months has the greatest impact on the quality. Therefore, it should be mainly to prevent oxidative rancidity to ensure the quality of Platycladi Semen.
