Objective:To explore the effect of multi-channel health education model by professional team on drug compliance, disease knowledge and recurrence in rate of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, so as to provide basis for formulating scientific health education measures.Methods:From February 2016 to February 2019, IBD patients visited First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were selected. According to whether they received health education, the patients were divided into intervention group (100 cases) and control group (138 cases). Morisky medication adherence scale-8 (MMAS-8) and Chinese version of Crohn′s and colitis knowledge score (CCKNOW) were used to evaluate treatment compliance and disease knowledge. The score of MMAS-8, the proportion of poor drug compliance, CCKNOW score and recurrence rate at 48 weeks of follow-up were compared between the intervention group and control group. Two sample t test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The total scores of MMAS-8 and CCKNOW of the intervention group were both higher than those of the control group (5.58±1.96 vs. 4.47±1.44, 10.87±4.21 vs. 9.23±4.65), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-5.06 and -2.79, both P<0.05). The proportion of patients with poor drug compliance and recurrence rate at 48 weeks of follow up of the intervention group were both lower than those of the control group (56.0%, 56/100 vs. 86.2%, 119/138; 20.0%, 20/100 vs. 31.9%, 44/138), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=38.18 and 4.17, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Multi-channel health education by professional team can effectively improve the drug compliance and disease knowledge in IBD patients, improve patient self-management ability, and reduce the recurrence rate.

Objective To detect the molecular characteristics of the serum samples of rats suffered from sudden unexpected death of acute myocardial ischemia (experimental group) and death caused by air embolism (control group) applied by ATR-FTIR, and to discuss the forensic signiifcance of identiifcation of causes of death by sudden unexpected death of acute myocardial ischemia by two-dimension infrared spectroscopy. Methods Adult male SD rats were randomly divided into SCD group and DCAE group. The serum samples were analyzed by ATR-FTIR. The similarity coefifcient of spectra between two groups was analyzed by OMNIC software. The spectra with higher signal-noise ratio were obtained and used to build two-dimension spectra model by Matlab 2010a software. Results The peak shapes, positions and intensities of the spectra were extremely similar between two groups, and the similarity coefifcient reached 99.78%. Meanwhile, the similarity coefifcient of second derivative spectra decreased to 98.62% between two groups. Moreover, on the two-dimension spectra model, the component differences were present at about 1 625cm-1, 1 550cm-1, 1 080cm-1 and 860cm-1, and the number of auto-peaks was different, which suggested that the evident differences were related to the molecular contents of protein, glycogen, nuclear acid, and so on. Conclusion It is hard to differentiate the molecular differences of serum samples of rats between SCD and DACE based on one-dimension spectra. However, two-dimension infrared spectra could intuitively and effectively relfect the molecular differences, and it would apply to determining the cause of death in forensic science.

AIMTo investigate the effects of RLI on plasma nitric oxide (NO) and NO synthase (NOS) isoforms of healthy humans.
METHODS30 healthy human subjects (aged from 40 - 70 years old) were recruited. RLI was induced by five 5 min cycles of ischemia of non dominant arm (200 mmHg, 5 min interval). Blood pressure, heart rate, and the feelings of ischemic arm were continuously monitored. Venous plasma was collected in contralateral arm at Pre, Post-0 h, Post-4 h, and Post-24 h. Plasma level of NO was measured by Griess reaction, and NOS was measured by chemical method.
RESULTSBlood pressure and heart rate varied in normal range. The uncomfortable feeling was decreased with the increasing numbers of ischemic cycles. Plasma level of NO, and iNOS in plasma were significantly increased at Post-0 h, Post-4 h, and Post-24 h compared to Pre (P < 0.05). tNOS was also significantly increased at Post-0 h and Post-4 h compared to Pre (P < 0.05). No significant change in plasma cNOS was shown at following three time points than Pre.
CONCLUSIONThese findings suggest that RLI can elevate plasma level of NO, tNOS, and iNOS in healthy humans. RLI might be a safe method as a rIPC, and it would have important possibility to be performed in clinic.
