ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application and needs' survey of mobile App health software in the patients with respiratory chronic disease. To make mobile App health software development more targeted and practical in the near future. To provide the foundation for continuous nursing service. Methods A survey research method was adopted in which self-designed questionnaires were administered to 163 patients with respiratory chronic disease from respiratory ward and outpatient clinic. Results Totally 119(73.0%) patients used smartphone, the mean score of experience in using mobile phones was (32.4 ± 14.1), which was in the medium range. There were 80 patients had ever installed and used this kind of App. The frequency of use of mobile App health software was Breathing Exercises App, Healthy Exercise App, Healthy Diet App and Medicine Remind App. The major reason for using of these App was disease prevention, self health care, disease and health monitoring and rehabilitation exercises. There were 120 patients would like to install App health software specific to respiratory chronic disease. They hope the characters of these App were simple operated, practical and without product placement. These App health software should include following function:timely feedback and guidance, providing practical method and help to register. Conclusion Most patients with respiratory chronic disease had the hardware basis and experience basis of using mobile App health software. More targeted and practical mobile App health software for the patients with respiratory chronic diseases should be developed to provide the foundation for continuous nursing service and patient′s self-management.
ABSTRACT
Estrogen participates in many life activities through combination with estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) or estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) in the body. In order to establish an in vitro estrogen-like compound screening model, the coding region of human ERalpha and ERbeta was separately constructed into pET32-ERalpha and pET43-ERbeta prokaryotic expression vector and water-soluble recombinant ERalpha and ERbeta proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli strain BL21. Western blotting revealed that both recombinant proteins have estrogen receptor binding sites. The proteins were purified using S-Tag affinity Purification Kit and digested with enterokinase to get the ERalpha and ERbeta proteins. About 0.90 mg of ERalpha and 0.65 mg of ERbeta were obtained at the concentration of 0.181 and 0.131 mg x mL(-1), respectively.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical features of cosmetic dermatoses and causative cosmetics. Methods A total of 890 cases of cosmetic dermatosis were analyzed in this study. Patch test was performed to determine the causative cosmetics. Results The cosmetic dermatoses mainly manifested as contact dermatitis (90%), followed by hyperpigmentation (3.93%), acneiform lesions (3.37%), photosensitive dermatitis (2.24%), contact urticaria (0.56%). There were 2019 types of questionable cosmetics, which were predominated by skin care cosmetics (92%). Of the 890 patients, 346 (39%) were positive for patch test.Conclusions The causes of cosmetic dermatosis are various, and it is important to strengthen the promotion of cosmetic knowledge as well as to set up a complete monitoring system for cosmetic dermatoses.
ABSTRACT
Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge) hairy roots were obtained by infecting Danshen leaves with Agrobacterium rhizogenes 9402. Besides rosmarinic acid (RA) and salvianolic acid B (SAB), the hairy root could also produce salvianolic acid K (SAK), salvianolic acid L, ethyl salvianolic acid B (ESAB), methyl salvianolic acid B (MSAB), and a compound with a molecular weight of 538 (compound 538) identified by using LC-MS. Effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and yeast elicitor (YE) on the accumulation of these compounds had been investigated. MeJA increased the accumulation of SAB, RA, SAK, and compound 538 from 4.21%, 2.48%, 0.29%, and 0.01% of dry weight to 7.11%, 3.38%, 0.68%, and 0.04%, respectively. YE stimulated the biosynthesis of RA from 2.83% to 5.71%, but depressed the synthesis of SAB, SAK and compound 538. It was indicated in all the results that these Danshen hairy roots could be used as alternative resources to produce salvianolic acids. Analysis of the content variation of these compounds after elicitation suggested that SAK and compound 538 might be the intermediates in the biosynthesis from RA to SAB in Danshen hairy roots.
ABSTRACT
Objective The purpose of this trial was to appraise the effects of both recognition-insight therapy and family education on rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia. Methods 140 outpatients with schizophrenia were randomly divided into two groups (70 patients in each group). The family group was trained with recognion-insight therapy and family education while the control group only received services at outpatient department. During a three-year follow-up period, both groups were conformed with the schizophrenic diagnostic criteria of BPRS, CGI, SDSS and the self-made gauge. Results Both at the end of the 1st and the 3rd year, the family group was lower than the control group on scores of every gauge (P <0.01 ). On the other hand, the therapy compliance of the family group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.01 ). Both relapse rates of the end of the Ist year and 3rd year (19.4%, 32.2%) were excessively lower than the control group (46.9%, 74.5%) (P<0.Ol ), while the family group's social function fine rate (73.1% , 62.7% ) was significantly higher than that of the control group (39.1% , 20.0%) (P<0.01). Conclusion The recognion-insight therapy and family education performed pivotal role in the rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the outcome and diagnostic methods of umbilical cord winds of the perinatal. Methods Retrospective analysis of 2350 cases of umbilical cord winds in our hospital was conducted. We selected 2400 cases as control. We calculated both the incidence rate of cesarean section, fetal distress and neonatal hypoxic - ischemic encephalopathy. Results Umbilical cord winds accounted for 20.1 percent of the total number of deliveries in the same period. The incidence rate of fetal distress and cesarean section was significantly high. Bsound ultra was 98.9% diagnosis. The electronic fetal care was 99.7% in diagnosis. Color Doppler ultrasound was 100% in diagnosis. Conclusion Umbilical cord winds is a common complication of pregnancy, and decision is also an important factor for delivery mode. Umbilical cord winds will increase obviously in the incidence of fetal distress and perinatal morbidity. The main method for prenatal diagnosis is the color Doppler ultrasound examination, such as B - and E - fetal care. Color Doppler ultrasound technique is the best way for non - invasive is observation of intrauterine blood circulation changes. In helpful for the judge of the progress and outcome of pregnancy, fetal growth and development of the situation.
