ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the related factors of quality of life(QOL) among rural elderly population in Shandong Province and explore the relationship among these factors.Methods: In this cross-sectional study,a sample of 451 elderly peple(aged from 60 to 92,without hearing or mental problems) was selected by a stratified cluster random sampling method.The 36-item Short Form Health Survey(SF-36) was used to measure QOL,and the AMOS 5.0 was used to carry out path analysis.Results: The QOL average score of all subjects was(78.5?15.4);QOL scores of males was higher than that of females [(81.2?13.0) vs.(77.5?16.3),P=0.003].There was a significant decrease of the QOL score with increasing age [60-69 years,(82.2?13.3);70-79 years,(77.0?16.0);≥ 80 years,(71.4?16.4);P
ABSTRACT
Mutagenesis of a river Polluted by industry and well near this that were studied using Ames test,Micronucleus of the bone marrow in mice,of the fatal-liver in mice,and Tradescantia-micronucleus(Trad-MCN)methods.The results indicated that both river and well water caused Ames test positive reaction(Rt/Rc=5.19,4.98).Both had also been positive reaction in bone marrow and fotal-liver micro-nucleus (P
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the inhibitory effects of propolis on growth of transplantation tumor in mice.METHO_ DS:Using different concentrations of propolis to feed the mice for two months,the tumor cells(S 180 )were transplanted into subaxillary tissue of the mice.After8days,the tumor mass was takent off the body of the mice,and weighted,then paraffin sections were observed and the number of karyokinesis of tumor cells was counted under the microscops.RESULTS:The weight of tumor mass were lighter in the propolis group than in the control group(P
