Objective　To monitor KBD prevalence rate in Changdu of Tibet.Methods　The aged 7～12 year children are tested with X- ray and epidemiological investigation.Results　Xizang are still high yet,the 3 of 4 porints X-rates are more than 20% and the highest one is 55.34%.Conclusions　The Changdu is the severest point of KBD in our country.

Objective To investigate the effect of smoking on large arterial stiffness in patients with essential hypertensive.Methods The aortic,carotid and brachial arterial dimension,intimal-medial thickness were determined by vascular ultrasound technique.Wall cross sectional area and indices of compliance and distensibility were calculated in essential hypertensive patients with smoking(n=75) or without smoking(n=70).Results Hypertensive patients with smoking have increased wall intimal-medial thickness and wall cross sectional area in aortic,carotid and brachial arteries associated with decreased compliance and distensibility.After adjusting for the confounding effects of other variables including Age,BMI,HR,BP,PP,FPG,LDL-C and TG,covariance analysis show smoking remained as predisposed factors for vascular remodeling.Conclusion Smoking aggravates large arterial stiffness in essential hypertensive patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and positive degree in patients with cervical spondylosis.Method A questionnaire survey was conducted among 98 patients with cervical spondylosis.Results The self-efficacy score was 6.30±1.56,the score on the positive degree was 53.76 ±12.53.The self-efficacy and positive degrees were positively correlated (r=0.531,P＜0.001).Conclusions The patient's self-efficacy and positive degree are at medium level.Nursing staff should take corresponding measures to improve self-efficacy of cervical spondylosis patients,in order to improve its positive degree and achieve the purpose of effective self-management and health promotion.

OBJECTIVETo study the relationship between the positive antisperm antibody (AsAb) and nitric oxide (NO) content in blood of infertile patients and the therapeutic effect of integrative Chinese and western medicine (ICWM) treatment on the disease.

METHODSInfertile patients, 75 of AsAb positive and 68 of AsAb negative were selected to observe the mature partuient rate and abortion rate. Serum NO level were measured before treatment to observe the relationship between NO and positive AsAb. Patients were treated with ICWM and followed-up for five years.

RESULTSMean value of serum NO in patients with positive AsAb was significantly higher than that in fertile women, and there was no significant difference between patients with negative AsAb and fertile women (P < 0.01). In the 5 years after treatment, the mature partuient rate between the two groups showed insignificant difference (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAsAb positive and NO level abnormal may interfere mutually, to intervent the reproductive process. ICWM therapy could effectively regulate auto-immunity and endocrine function, and make the infertile patients obtain satisfactory efficacy.

Objective To investigate SCCmec genotypes and drug-resistance profiles of the methieillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) strains isolated from the patients suffered from diabetic foot infections (DFI) in the Tianjin Metabohc Diseases Hospital. Methods After dabridement, specimens of 390 infectious diabetic foot ulcers in the hospital from Jan 2008 to Jun 2010 were collected from the wound basal parts by cotton swab for culture. The disk-diffusion method was performed to examine antimicrobial susceptibility. DNAs of the MRSE strains were extracted, and their SCCmec genotypes were identified by PCR. Results Twenty of the seventy(28.6% ,20/70)Staphylococcus epidermidis strains were mecA posifive. Among the MRSE isolates, 2 ( 10.0% )were SCCmec Ⅱ ,9 (45.0%)were SCCmecⅢ and 9 (45.0%)were SCCmec Ⅳ. None of the isolates were genotyped as SCCmec Ⅰ or Ⅴ. No mater which genotypes they were, all the MRSE isolates were multi-drug resistant. They were resistant not only to β-lactams (including penicillins, cefoxitin and cephems), but also to non-β-lactams (including macrolides, fiuoroquinolones and sulfonamides ) . Resistance to voncomycin and rifampicin were not found in these strains . Conclusion SCCmec Ⅲ and SCCmecⅣ are major genotypes of the MRSE isolates from the infectious diabetic foot ulcers.The SCCmec Ⅳ genotype strains with multi-drug resistant profiles are prevalent in the diabetic foot infections.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and antibiotic susceptibility of osteomyelitis infected by Gram-negative bacteria (G-) in patients suffered from diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Methods The clinical data of 91 DFU pa-tients accompanied with osteomyelitis (DFO) were retrospective studied. These patients hospitalized in the Tianjin Metabolic Diseases Hospital were divided into two groups, Gram-negative bacteria (G-) group (n=44) and Gram-positive bacteria (G+) group (n=42), respectively. The clinical features were compared between two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for Gram-negative bactreial infection. The Gram-negative antibiogram was summarized. Results A total of 112 pathogens were isolated from 91 patients. G-bacteria were the most frequent pathogens (48.2%), following by G+ bacteria (47.3%) and fungi (4.5%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the majority of the G-bacteria. Comparing the two groups, the rate of antibiotic use within the previous 6 months was significantly higher in G-group (75.0%) than that of G+group (52.4%, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the other indicators between two groups. The Logistic re-gression analysis revealed that the history of antibiotic use was the independent risk factor of G-bacterial infections in DFO patients. Antibiotics susceptibilities reflected G- bacteria were more prevalent to resist to cephalosporins and quinolonem, but sensitive to imipenem, ceftazidine and cefperazone-sulbactam. Conclusion Gram negative bacteria were not only the main pathogens isolated from DFO patients, but also frequently resistant to several popular antibiotics in China. The proper bacteria culture and antibiotic sensitivity test are especially emphasized to patients with DFU.
