The study takes multiple choice cloze test in 2015 before reform and bank cloze test after reform in 2016 as research subjects, and research data are from true test results of 48 test-takers. The performance analysis was done by using FACETS(Version 2.7) and SPSS 19.0. This research aims at exploring the relationships between two different cloze forms and the differentiated performance of test-takers, and also testing reliability and validity of two cloze forms. Results show that multiple choice cloze test and banked cloze test have great difference on reflecting test-takers' English ability. Banked cloze test can better reflect test-takers' English ability if more items are added.展开更多
目的观察慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者糖耐量状况及其与Th淋巴细胞平衡失调的关系。方法对2015年1月1日~12月31日86例稳定期COPD患者行口服糖耐量试验,测定空腹血糖(FPG)及2 h后血糖(2 h PG),将其与同年龄健康对照组进行比较。测...目的观察慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者糖耐量状况及其与Th淋巴细胞平衡失调的关系。方法对2015年1月1日~12月31日86例稳定期COPD患者行口服糖耐量试验,测定空腹血糖(FPG)及2 h后血糖(2 h PG),将其与同年龄健康对照组进行比较。测定反映Th1淋巴细胞功能的γ干扰素(IFN-γ)及反映Th2淋巴细胞功能的白细胞介素-4(IL-4)血清水平,将其与同年龄健康对照组进行比较。观察IFN-γ及IL-4与FPG及2 h PG的相关性。结果观察组平均FPG及2 h PG水平均高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。观察组患者血清IFN-γ水平较对照组高,IL-4水平较对照组低,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。COPD患者IFN-γ与FPG及2 h PG呈正相关(r=0.4237、0.5316,P〈0.05);IL-4与FPG及2 h PG呈负相关(r=-0.3891、-0.3625,P〈0.05)。结论 COPD患者存在糖耐量受损现象,Th1/Th2平衡失调与此种现象有关。展开更多
