ABSTRACT
Solenopsis invicta is a kind of invasive pest that causes serious damage to local agriculture, environment, and human health. They attack mainly with venom within stingers. Those who are allergic to the venom would suffer a systemic anaphylaxis, even fatal shock, after being stinged by these ants. Many studies reveal that their venom is mainly composed by water, insoluble alkaloids and trace proteins, within which alkaloids are the main cause of burning sensation and blisters, while allergic reactions are caused by proteins or peptides. The research progress of toxic substances in the venom of Solenopsis invicta as well as the roles and functions of each component were reviewed in this paper.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical value of peripheral remnant lipoproteins (RLP), low density lipoprotein cholesterol particle (LDL-P) and sdLDL particle (sdLDL-P) measurement in the diagnosis of carotid plaque, so as to provide practical basis for the accurate diagnosis of carotid plaque and the control of carotid plaque related cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.Methods:People who underwent carotid plaque ultrasound examination in Xingtai Third Hospital , from January 2020 to June 2021 were selected as the research object. According to the ultrasound results, they were divided into carotid plaque group ( n=146) and control group without carotid plaque ( n=149). The fasting RLP, LDL-P and sdLDL-P of the two groups were measured by vertical auto profile (VAP) centrifugal separation phase, and the fasting TG and LDL-C were detected by routine mixed phase method. The indexes were compared between the two groups and the true positive rate, true negative rate, false positive rate and false negative rate of the diagnosis of carotid plaque were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve of each test index was drawn, and AUC was used to evaluate the clinical diagnostic value of each test index for carotid plaque. Results:The levels of RLP, LDL-P and sdLDL-P in carotid plaque group were significantly higher than those in non-carotid plaque group ([1.07±0.36] mmol/L vs [0.59±0.17] mmol/L,[1 300±370] nmol/L vs [781±215] nmol/L,[435±139] nmol/L vs [156±59] nmol/L, all P<0.01). The true positive rate (78.08% [114/146],81.51% [119/146]) and true negative rate (84.56% [126/149], 86.58%[129/149]) of serum RLP and LDL-P for the diagnosis of carotid plaque were significantly higher than TG (58.90%[86/146], 43.62%[65/149]) and LDL-C (59.59% [87/146], 46.98% [70/149]), and the false positive rate (15.44% [23/149], 13.42% [20/149]) and false negative rate (21.92% [32/146], 18.49% [27/146]) were significantly lower than TG (56.38% [84/149], 41.10% [60/146]) and LDL-C (53.02% [79/149], 40.41% [59/146], all P<0.01). The AUC of the ROC curve of RLP (0.890), LDL-P (0.902) and sdLDL-P (0.973) for the diagnosis of carotid plaque was higher than TG (0.682) and LDL-C (0.712). The AUC of ROC curve of the RLP combined with sdLDL-P (0.977) for the diagnosis of carotid plaque was higher than the RLP and sdLDL-P (all P<0.01). Conclusion:The serum RLP, LDL-P and sdLDL-P can be used as indicators of carotid plaque, and their clinical diagnostic value are superior to TG and LDL-C; the combined diagnostic effect of lipoprotein subclass is better than that of single index alone.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the self-efficacy for health behaviors and its influencing factors among investigation of rural chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) high-risk groups.Methods November 2014 using the general questionnaire,Health Behavior Self-efficacy Scale for 176 over 40 yearsold of high-risk populations in rural COPD self-efficacy and health behavior factors research.Results In rural areas at high risk of health behavior self-efficacy scored (71.75±7.68) points,including nutrition and psychological comfortable highest scores which were (14.86±2.03) points and (19.75±3.03) points.Exercise and health responsibilities lower scored 18.90±2.87 and 18.42±2.52.Multiple regression analysis showed that marital status,education level and income were the main factors affecting rural health behavior at high risk of COPD self-efficacy (β=0.384,0.297,0.236,P ＜0.05).Conclusions COPD risk populations in rural areas at the middle level of health behavior self-efficacy,nurses should be given a lower level of education and income were more concerned to help them improve the health behavior self-efficacy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the health behavior and the exposure rate of risk factors of rural population with high risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods A total of 176 cold region rural COPD high-risk persons were recruited and investigated with Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile Ⅱ (HPLP Ⅱ),Health Behaviour Self-efficacv Scale,general information questionnaire.Results The total score of HPLP was (92.70±11.22) points in the rural area of COPD,and the scores of the nutrition and interpersonal relationship were the highest,which were (20.06±2.75) points,(19.30±3.16) points,health responsibility and sports dimension were lower,which were respectively (13.74±2.60) points,(9.85±2.80) points.Health behavior self-efficacy scored (71.75±7.68) points,which showed significant correlation with HPLP Ⅱ score (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions COPD high-risk population of the cold area health promoting lifestyle and health behavior self-efficacy level are not high.Improving mral population at higher risk of COPD health behavior and self-efficacy level can form good healthy lifestyle and behavior.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of transitional care intervention on quality of life for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods The Cochrane library, PubMed, Embase, Chinese biomedical literature database(CBM), Chinese scientific journals full-text database, Wanfang data were searched up to June 2015 to identify randomized controlled trials(RCTs) comparing continuity of patient care with conventional treatment.The data were analyzed using Revman 5.2 software. Results 26 RCTs involving 2 443 participants were included.The results of Meta-analysis showed continuity of care couldreduce the scores of The COPD Assessment Test [ SMD=-2.24, 95%CI=(-3.52--0.96), P<0.01],and St George′s Respiratory Questionnaire [SMD=-0.26, 95%CI(-0.50--0.02), P≤0.05], and could improve the scores of Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaires [SMD=0.46, 95%CI(0.08-0.84), P≤0.05]. Conclusions Transitional care can improve the quality of life of patients with COPD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between quality of life and knowledge,beliefs,behavioral,pulmonary function outcomes in stable-stage patients with chronic obsturctive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods Using the general data questionnaire,COPD assessment test (CAT),knowledge,attitude and behavior questionnaire to investigate 93 stable-stage COPD patients in urban and rural areas,and measure the level of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1％).Results CAT total score was (22.56 ± 6.40) points which was in severe level;knowledge,beliefs,behavior total score was (41.94 ± 8.20) points,and FEV1％ was (59.81 ± 7.64) ％.The CAT was negatively correlated with knowledge,beliefs,behavior total score and two dimensions of beliefs,behavior and FEV1％,r values were-0.262,-0.288,-0.217,-0.256 respectively,P ＜ 0.05.Conclusions The COPD patients in stable-stage have a high level of CAT.Targeted invention should be combined with the status of the knowledge,beliefs and behavior to improve the level of air flow,and quality of life of patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of the cervical vertebra rehabilitation gymnastics on patients with different types of cervical spondylosis (CS). Methods 203 patients with different types of CS were selected. They were trained with rehabilitation gymnastics. The electrophysiological examination of neck-shoulder muscles were used to evaluate the effects 3 and 6 months after training. Results The peak of electrophysiological action potential of neck-shoulder muscles was significantly different in all the types of CS patients (P0.05) before and 3, 6 months after training. Conclusion The cervical vertebra rehabilitation gymnastics can promote blood circulation of neck-shoulder muscles, relieve muscle spasm and ease the symptoms, especially for patients with cervical spondylotic radicu-lopathy and sympathetic cervical spondylosis.
