ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect evaluation of choking risk assessment and intervention on the choking prevention of homeless inpatients with psychiatricc. Methods Totally 163 homeless inpatients with psychiatric disorder were selected from July 2012 to June 2016, 56 cases from July 2012 to December 2013 were assigned to the control group, another 107 cases from January 2014 to June 2016 was set as the intervention group. The control group received routine nursing safety management, on the basis of it, the intervention group received choking risk assessment through choking risk assessment scales. To take choking risk intervention on the patients of reached choking danger threshold. The incidence of choking and choking ending were compared between the two groups and the choking risk levels and scores in the intervention group before and after intervention were also compared. Results The incidence of choking in the intervention group and the control group was 0.93%(1/107)and 10.71%(6/56)respectively. Choking ending: 2 heal, 3 aspiration pneumonia, 1 death of 6 cases in the control group and 1 case was cured, no death and aspiration pneumonia occurred in the intervention group, the statistical differences were significant (χ2=9.399,18.554, P < 0.01 or 0.05). There were 28.0% (30/107) reached level Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ choking threshold in the intervention group and rank mean of choking risk scores were 41.29. After interventions were 8.4% (9/107) and 25.50 respectively, the statistical differences were significant (χ2=10.231, P<0.05;Z=7.511, P<0.01). Conclusions The corresponding nursing intervention on the patients of choking risk can reduce and avoid choking accidents and protect the safety of homeless inpatients with psychiatric disorder effectively and improve the quality of care.
ABSTRACT
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) VP4 plays an important role in immunosuppression of host. In order to develop monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against VP4, we vaccinated BALB/c mice with His-VP4, screened and subcloned positive clones. We established 4 hybridoma cell lines that stably secreted McAbs against VP4 and named these cell lines 3B3, 3H11, 4C8 and 4G6, respectively. We tested the dissociation constant (Kd) of these McAbs, and found that their K(d)s were 4.61 x 10(-11), 1.71 x 10(-10), 4.26 x 10(-11), 5.02 x 10(-11), respectively. The isotypes of these McAbs were determined to be IgG1, IgG1, IgG2b and IgG1. These McAbs specifically bound to VP4 in IBDV infected DF-1 cells as demonstrated by Western blotting analysis and fluorescence antibody assay. These McAbs would help to detect IBDV infection and to analyze the biological activities of IBDV VP4.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine the prevalence of occupational musculoskeletal disorders (OMSD) and its risk factors among workers in three manufacturing industries in Zhongshan, China by cross-sectional epidemiological investigation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 2 035 workers from the industries of metals (1001 persons), electrical appliances (455 persons), and furniture (579 persons), including 1 402 males and 633 females, were selected; the mean age was 32.9 ± 8.2 years, and the mean length of service was 6.4 ± 5.6 years. A revised Northern Europe Standardized Questionnaire was used for cross-sectional epidemiological investigation of OMSD.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The results showed that OMSD in these workers was primarily located in the neck, waist, and shoulder, with annual prevalence rates of 23.1%, 20.1%, and 15.8%, respectively. The overall prevalence of OMSD was 43.1% in metal industry, 44.0% in electrical appliance industry, and 26.6% in furniture industry. OMSD prevalence showed significant differences between different industries (χ(2) = 54.2, P < 0.01). The prevalence of OMSD in the shoulder and back increased with working years (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for OMSD were working age >10 years, safety behavior such as "bending down when lifting heavy things from the ground", and different types of industries.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>OMSD is mainly manifested by neck pain, waist pain, and shoulder pain among front-line manufacturing workers in Zhongshan, and working age, poor labor posture, and different types of industries were risk factors for waist pain.</p>
