Methods: Seventy-six randomly selected volunteer drivers each had three times of alcohol intake (100 ml each time). After each drank, BAC was measured with gas chromatograph and driving ability was evaluated. The drivers were grouped according to age, weight, alcohol tolerance and driving experience respectively and changes in BAC and driving ability were analyzed. Results: Average BAC and the percentage of drivers showing impaired driving ability in the groups increased after each intake of 100 ml alcohol. BAC in Group≤60 kg was more susceptible to alcohol than that in Group>60 kg. When each drank, alcohol had greater influence on drivers who had comparatively shorter driving experience. Conclusion: Volume of consumed alcohol, BAC and driving ability have direct associations among one another and are all under the influence of various factors including individual conditions. To set an appropriate legal BAC limit for safe driving should take an overall consideration of all factors.展开更多

BCTR data was obtained from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2008. The BCTR provides the most detailed information on severe injuries throughout the province of BC. There are 12 trauma-receiving facilities in BC from which BCTR collects data.RESULTSA total of 162 patients with eye injuries were registered in BCTR during the data collection period. The highest number of injuries occurred in the 15-19 age group, followed by 10-14 and 5-9 age groups. Seventy-one point six percent of all patients were male. The mean age for all patients was 12.9 （SD = 5.8） years. Vehicular crash was by far the most common mechanism of injury among all patients （42.0%） followed by blunt injury （14.2%） and cuts （12.3%）. The child and adolescent eye injury data set we used for our study indicated that there were in total, 50 patients that were tested for alcohol and drug use. The majority of them were 15-19 years of age （ n = 38）. Among the tested eye injury patients in the 15-19 age group, 47% （18/38） tested positive for alcohol. There were approximately 30 cases of physical fighting （assault） and fighting-related injury among adolescents. Some injuries were caused by use of fire arms and knife during the assaults. Out of all patients, 62 （38%） were seen by an Ophthalmologist on admission, whereas 100 （62%） patients were not seen by an eye specialist on admission. The most common injury diagnosis among the patients not consulted by ophthalmologist was conjunctiva injury （53%）, whereas almost 9 out of 10 patients with ophtha-lmological consultation had laceration of cornea injury diagnoses. Using Glasgow Coma Scale （GCS）-basedclassification of brain injury severity, 3.7% of all patients were classified with severe brain injury （GCS ≤ 8）, while more than 64% had diagnosed with a mild brain injury （GCS ≥ 13）.CONCLUSIONThis study suggests that most child and adolescent eye injuries in BC occur at street/highway locations followed by incidents at home. Vehicular crash was by far the most common mechanism of injury among all patients （42%）. Sixty-four point two percent of child and adolescent eyeinjury patients also had mild brain injuries. Further, the child and adolescent eye injury data set we used for our study indicated that there were in total, 50 patients tested for alcohol and drug use. There is an urgent need for a child and adolescent eye injury prevention plan in our province.展开更多

文摘目的探讨影响非酒精性脂肪肝(Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,NAFLD)患者低自我管理的危险因素,并构建列线图模型。方法采用便利抽样法,选取2022年3月至2023年3月在乌鲁木齐市某社区卫生服务中心体检的650名NAFLD,其中2022年3月至2023年3月的650例作为建模组,2023年4月至9月的300例作为验证组。验证组依据《成年人健康自我管理能力测评量表》评分分为低自我管理患者和高自我管理组患者。采用单因素分析和二元、多元Logistic回归分析,筛查NAFLD低自我管理的独立危险因素。采用R软件构建列线图模型,校准曲线和决策曲线分别对列线图模型进行内部、外部验证和预测效能评估。结果Logistic回归分析表明,男性、25~64岁、小学及以下文化程度、军人、腰围、体重指数(Body mass index,BMI)、自我效能感、社会支持评分为NAFLD患者低自我管理的危险因素(P<0.001);模型内部及外部验证结果显示,曲线下面积(Area under curve,AUC)分别为0.988、0.959,95%CI分别为(0.981~0.988)、(0.940~0.959),校准曲线与决策曲线贴合良好。结论本研究构建的列线图模型具有良好的预测效果,可量化NAFLD患者低自我管理的风险,有利于护理人员早期准确识别高危患者并制定针对性的护理干预策略。
