ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the association between physical activity (PA), sedentary level and exercise self-efficacy for adolescents with visual impairment, and impacts of gender, age, body mass index (BMI), degree of visual impairment and exercise self-efficacy on PA. MethodsFrom October to December, 2022, 79 students aged 13 to 18 years with visual impairment from Nanjing School for the Blind were measured PA and sedentary level with accelerometer. The average percentage of daily sedentary time (ST), light physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were recorded. The students fininshed the Exercise Self-Efficacy Questionnaire with the help of teachers, and their height and body mass was measured. ResultsThe average percentage of daily LPA, MVPA and ST was (15.45±5.99)%, (4.55±2.15)% and (80.00±6.99)%, respectively. Compared with the girls, the boys spent more time in LPA (F = 5.330, P < 0.05) and less in ST (F = 5.760, P < 0.05). Compared with students aged 16 to 18 years, those aged 13 to 15 years spent more time in MVPA (F = 11.292, P < 0.001) and less in ST (F = 8.279, P < 0.01). The score of exercise self-efficacy correlated with ST, LPA, MVPA and age (|r| > 0.254, P < 0.05). The result of multiple linear regression showed that the exercise self-efficacy (β = 0.224) and age (β = -0.495) were the independently factors related with MVPA, which explained 34.7% of MVPA variation. ConclusionAdolescents with visual impairment aged 13 to 18 years spend more time in sedentary, and their PA level is very low. Improvement of exercise self-efficacy may help to improve PA level of them.
ABSTRACT
In this study ,we established Cross Priming Amplification (CPA ) technology for detection of influenza A virus (H1N1) approach ,and evaluated the method through clinical specimens .A set of specific primers were designed for CPA ac‐cording to the conservative gene sequences ,designed and realized in the same temperature reverse transcription of RNA and DNA amplification . The amplification products can be totally enclosed nucleic acid detection device for testing . Fourteen healthy pharyngeal swab specimens ,seven other respiratory viruses ,and six arboviruses strains were used as the controls .We used a method that application of gradient dilution to the H 1N1 virus strain as the control to test the sensitivity of the CPA .We also used 102 clinical pharyngeal swab specimens of H1N1 patients for detection object to evaluate the feasibility of CPA clinical detection .Results showed that the CPA reaction did not appear cross reaction on health cases samples and other viruses .The sensitivity of the CPA was approximately 10 copies/uL in the established method that exactly titer H1N1 virus strain gradient dilution test .As to the positive results among the clinical pharyngeal swab samples collected from patients at different stages after onset ,the CPA had the highest positive detection rate during the first three days after onset (100% ) .While the detection rate from day 4 to day 6 after onset was 79 .31% .After 7 days ,the detection rate was 9 .09% .The established CPA assay was a highly sensitive ,specific and reproducible approach for rapid detection of H1N1 virus ,which is conducive to the early diagno‐sis of influenza A virus (H1N1) for basic medical units .
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze the Envelope (E) gene of type 1,2,3 dengue virus isolated fromGuangzhouin2010, andtoinvestigatetheinfectionsourceandvirusgenotypes.MethodsEighty-five serum samples were collected from 85 patients in acute phase of dengue fever.Dengue virus was cultured and isolated by C6/36 cells.The whole length of E gene was amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and then sequenced.The phylogenetic tree was drawn by neighbor-joining method.The bioinformatics analysis was performed by combining the phylogenetic information and the epidemiologic data.ResultsSix strains of type 1 dengue virus,two strains of type 2 dengue virus and six strains of type 3 dengue virus were isolated from 85 samples.The E gene sequence of these strains was obtained by sequencing.The phylogenetic analysis showed that type 1 and 3 dengue virus belonged to two genotypes (Asian and South Pacific ocean,India subcontinent and Southeast Asia/South Pacific ocean,respectively),and type 2 dengue virus belonged to one genotype (Malaysia/India subcontinent).ConclusionIt's presumed that all strains of type 2 dengue virus are imported,four strains of type 1 dengue virus are imported and four strains of type 3 dengue virus arc imported,the remaining two stains of type 1 and two stains of type 3 dengue virus need mosquito intermediary research further to prove their origins.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the values of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)for malignant limbs bone tumors before limb-sparing operation and the influence of TACE on operation.Methods TACE was performed in 10 patients with malignant limb bone tumor before limb-sparing operation.The complication of TACE,morphology and histology of neoplasm,incisional healing after TACE were observed.Results (1)The embolization syndrome (swelling,pain)appeared obviously in all patients at early stage and disppeared or alleviated greatly after 2 weeks of TACE.The severe complication-local skin necrosis appeared in 1 case;there was a subcrustal healing after 3 weeks.(2)In 6~28 days after embolization,all neoplasms underwent coagulation to variable extents,and the tumor cells was more than 60% necrosis in 8 cases.(3)All incisions had a good healing by first intention.Conclusion TACE is an effective and safe accessory therapeutic preecdure for malignant limbs bone tumors before limb-sparing operation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the changing tendency of IgG to coronavirus associated severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS).Methods:Between 1 and 153 days after the onset of symptoms, the antibody IgG to SARS associated coronavirus were detected in 534 patients with SRAS by ELISA. 216 randomly selected people without SARS contact history and SARS symptoms were contrasted.Results:The positive rates of IgG between SARS patients and control group respectivel were 58 1%,0 5%.There is a statistical significance(P=0 000).Among SARS patients, the positive rates of IgG in 1～10 days,11～30 days,31～60 days,61～90 days,91～120 days,above 120 days and after the onset of symptoms respectively were 18 8%(3/16 cases),63 8%(37/58 cases),55 6%(30/54 cases),51 4%(71/138 cases),62 1%(159/256 cases),83 3%(10/12 cases).Conclusion:There are low positive rates of IgG in SARS patients in the first 10 days after onset of symptoms, and abruptly ascending positive rates of IgG in 11～30 days.The positive rates of IgG remains the high levels during 4th and 5th months.Further observation is essential to elucidating the duration of IgG.
