Objective To develop the Chinese version of the 35-item Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey (MOS-HIV) and to assess the reliability and validity of MOS-HIV among HIV-infected individuals.Methods Between April and July of 2007,a croas-sectional survey of 758 HIV-infected individuals was conducted.Responses to the MOS- HIV were analyzed for its reliability and validity.Results Pearson's correlation coefficients of items for test-retest relia- bility ranged from 0.46-0.92,all internal consistency reliability coefficients exceeded 0.69,and all items were more strongly correlated with hypothesized scale than any other scale.Eight scales of MOS-HIV were significantly associated with CD_4 cell counts.Conclusions The Chinese version of MOS-HIV offers good reliability and validity and can be used as a tool to assess the quality of life of HIV infected individuals in China,thus providing evidence for further studying AIDS related quality of life in this country.

Objective To explore the influence of self-management education on the quality of life of parents of asthma children. Methods Forty-eight parents of children with asthma underwent one-year intervention of self-management.The results were assessed on the basis of two kinds of questionnaires,the Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74(GQOLI-74)and a self-designed psychological pressure questionnaire.Results After intervention,the scores of person and family,economic burden,lifelong care,lack of sense of accomplishment and overprotection were diminished,compared to those before intervention(P<0.05).There were also significant differences between pre-and post-intervention in the four dimensions with 20 factors(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion The self-management education can ease parents' psychological pressure and increase their quality of life.

Objective To summarize the perioperative nursing of patients with post-thoracotomy atelectasis treated with bronchoalveolar lavage combined with pulmonary insufflation.Methods Before operation,the nursing measures included the full preoperative preparation,full anesthesia and mental care.During the operation,the nursing focused on intensified monitoring,close cooperation with doctors in manipulation of bronchoalveolar lavage and pulmonary insufflation.After operation,the postoperative nursing was performed.Results The lung recruitments were successful in all the 12 patients.Compared to pre-operation,the arterial oxygen saturation(SaO2)and arterial oxygen partial pressure(PaO2)6 hours after treatment were significantly improved(P<0.05) while the CO2 partial pressure(PaCO2)was significantly decreased(P<0.05).There were no severe complications and no recurrence of pulmonary atelectasis.All the patients were successfully discharged.Conclusions The bronchoalveolar lavage combined with pulmonary insufflation is effective in treating post-thoracotomy atelectasis.To ensure the smooth treatment,perioperative nursing is also contributive.

Objective To observe the changes of specific proteins in serum of acute stage patients with SARS and its clinical application. Methods The acute stage patients with SARS group included 42 cases who had clinical symptoms less than five days. In normal group: 30 healthy adults were as controls. Tests for specific proteins were immunoglobin G ( IgG ) , immunoglobin A ( IgA) , immunoglobin M ( IgM) , complement C3( C3),complement C4(C4),C-reaction protein (CRP), al acid glycoprotein( a1-AG) , a1 antitrypsin(a1-AT) ,transferrin(TRF), ceruloplasmin( CER) in sera by Ratenephelometer. Results The level of CRP, a1-AG, a1-AT in sera of patients with SARS were higher than that in control group ( P 0. 05). Conclusion It suggested that specific proteins in serum of acute stage patients with SARS change in a particular way. There were some help for the diagnosis of the phlogistic degree of acute stage patients with SARS by detecting CRP, a1-AG and TRF simultaneously.

Objective To establish a real-time PCR assay to detect bacterial contamination in platelet concentrates(PCs).Methods PCs were spiked with serial dilutions of Staphylococcus aureaus and Eschetichia coli,and the bacterial genomic DNA was isolated by modified Chelex-100 method and then quantitatively detected by Tagman real-time PCR.Filtration was performed to avoid contamination from other bacterial DNA in the reagents of extraction kit as well as the PCR mixture.Results The real-time PCR targeting conservative 16S rRNA gene showed high sensitivity and specificity in detecting bacterial contamination in PCs,and no cross-reaction with human genomic DNA and viruses was found.The Ct value of the lowest bacterial dose groups after filtration in both S.aureaus and E.coli were statistically different from the negative controls,with a minimal detection quality of 0.3CFUs/PCR for S.aureaus,and 0.1CFUs/PCR for E.coli.,respectively.Conclusion The modified Chelex-100 method to extract bacterial genomic DNA and the subsequent real-time PCR are convenient,sensitive and specific,and may be applied to the large scale clinical detection of bacterial contamination in PCs.

A myxobacterial strain, So ce cpu-1, was isolated from a soil sample near the Huanghai beach. So ce cpu-1 had broad antimicrobial activity, active component has maxima] absorption at 210 nm. The effects of different culture conditions on the yield of the secondary metabolites were investigated. The results showed that, when cultivating the strain in the M, medium (containing 10% w/v D312 neutral absorber resin ), the air up to 70% of the whole flask volume, adding 5?L the secondary metabolites as the revulsant, at 30℃, 200r/min, for 6 days, the yield of the secondary metabolites achieved the maximum.

The animal models of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury have been established inmany animals, such as monkeys, dogs, rats, mice, rabbits, and pigs. These models have provideda great deal of important information for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Howerver, thedifferent species vary in their susceptibility to the various types of ischemic insults. This articlereviews the animal models of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in different species.

Objective:To explore the clinical pharmaceutical care for cancer pain management. Methods: The intervention time of clinical pharmacists was determined. A comprehensive evaluation of cancer pain, physical function and life quality of patients was performed, the compliance of patients was scored, and individualized pharmaceutical service was carried out,consultation and sugges-tion on analgesics and adjuvant drugs were provided for doctors, and finally, the effect of pharmaceutical care was assessed. Results:Clinical pharmaceutical care could promote the rational drug use and improve the medical quality. Conclusion:Through the research of clinical pharmaceutical care for pain management,clinical pharmacists can play a practical and effective role in the pain treatment and management.
