Objective To evaluate the Chinese version of Benefit Finding Scale (BFS) for breast cancer patients.Methods After consent of the author,according to the flow path of scales,we established the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of BUS,a convenience sample of 293 patients were recruited for evaluation.Results The Chinese version of BFS was comprised of 19 items,Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.911,test-retest reliability was 0.812,I-CVI was 0.833～1.000,S-CVI was 0.955.Meanwhile,exploratory analysis showed that the most interpretable solution consisted of 3 factors,the accumulative variance contribution which explained 55.101％ of variance of the total scale.The related validity showed that the correlative coefficient of Chinese version of BUS and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) was 0.745.Conclusions It suggests that the 19-item Chinese version of the BFS has good reliability and validity,which could be used as a research tool for measuring breast cancer patients' benefit finding.

Type 2 diabetic patients were divided to 3 groups according to their urinary albumin excretion rate: simple diabetic group (n=30), early diabetic nephropathy group (n=24) and clinical diabetic nephropathy (n=20). Endothelium-dependent dilation function of brachial artery was measured by high resolving power colour Doppler echography and circulating endothelial cells in blood were counted. The results showed that endothelium-dependent dilation function of brachial artery in 3 groups declined progressively in the order of simple diabetic group, early diabetic nephropathy group and clinical diabetic nephropathy group, suggesting that this measurement may serve as one parameter reflecting the status of vascular endothelial function and the extent of vascular lesion.

Objective To evaluate mechanical radial scanning endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for preoperative tumor and lymph node ( TN ) staging of esophageal cancer. Methods From January 2010 to June 2010, a total of 60 patients with esophageal cancer underwent preoperative staging with mechanical radial scanning EUS. The findings of EUS were compared with postoperative pathological outcomes. Results EUS accurately predicted T stage in 80 % of cases and N stage in 71% cases. Sensitivities to T1 , T2 , T3 and T4 were 75% , 100% , 96% and 50% , respectively, and those to N0 and N1 were 55% and 100% , respectively. With exclusion of 11 patients with un-passable lesions, the accurate rate of EUS in T staging of focal and advanced cancers was 90% ( 44/49 ). Conclusion Mechanical radial scanning EUS can accurately predict T and N stages in preoperative patients with esophageal cancer, which also exhibits high differential accuracy in focal and advanced esophageal cancer.

BACKGROUND: Further studies are needed to understand the cytobiological character, functional regulation, gene changes and expression difference of CD34~+ and CD133~+ stem cells induced by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) using gene chip. OBJECTIVE: To compare the differences of gene expression and the response to bFGF of human umbilical cord CD34~+ and CD133~+ cells, and to explore gene expression changes of bFGF-induced umbilical cord CD34~+ and CD133~+ hematopotic stem cells/hemapoietic progenitor cells in vitro. METHODS: Human umbilical cord blood CD34~+ and CD133~+ cells were isolated and purified by MiniMACS immunomagnetic beads selection. The CD34~+ and CD133~+cells were cultured for 10 to 15 days in DMEM/F12 medium, supplemented with bFGF and B27. Total RNA from these cells was extracted and the genetic level of these cells was performed using Oligo GEArray(r) chip and GEArray software. Selected rate of CD34~+ and CD133~+ hematopoietic stem cells was detected using flow cytometry. CD34~+ and CD133~+ cell morphological changes were measured before and after bFGF induction. The concentration and purity of RNA were determined by agarose gel electrophoresis degeneration. Gene-chip test results were analyzed.
