Objective To explore the effect of mental nursing intervention on gastric cancer with liver metastasis patients treated with TACE sequential chemotherapy.Methods Sixty four gastric cancer patients with liver metastasis,no hopes of accepting operations,were included.All patients were divided into control group (32 cases) and observation group (32 cases).The former received routine nursing care and the later received extra mental nursing intervention.The anxiety,depression and quality of life in both groups were evaluated and compared.Results After extra mental nursing intervention,the SDS and SAS scores of the observation group [(41.6 ± 1.8) points and (41.6 ± 2.3) points] were significantly lower than those of the control group [(50.9 ± 1.9) points and (53.0 ± 3.5) points,P =0.040,P =0.036,respectively].The quality of life scores,including the physiological function,body pain,general self rating,vitality,social function,emotional function and mental health score were (45.26 ± 38.26)points vs (35.17 ± 33.65) points (P =0.044),(71.98 ± 17.36) points vs (63.01 ± 18.41) points (P =0.039),(55.59 ± 12.78) points vs (49.67 ± 12.43) points (P =0.048),(74.82 ± 14.23) points vs (55.61 ± 10.58) points (P =0.027),(75.47 ± 12.15) points vs (57.22 ± 14.78) points (P =0.031),(70.24 ± 22.00) points vs (45.92 ± 34.76) points (P =0.004),(78.31 ± 19.11) points vs (67.23 ± 11.96) points (P =0.037),respectively,the scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The extra mental nursing intervention on gastric cancer with liver metastasis patients,treated with TACE sequential chemotherapy,can not reduce the patients'negative mood,improve the patients'compliance with chemotherapy and the confidence to treatment,but improve the quality of patients'life effectively.

Objective This study aims to examine the development of the posterior lateral line of the zebrafish and establish ant model to study the process of hair cell differentiation and regeneration .Methods We observed the posterior lateral line system formation by DAPI immunohistochemistry and whole mount in situ hybridization .We further evaluated hair cells differentiation within neuromast by using Transgenic Tg (Brn3c:mGFP) zebrafish and stained the functional hair cells by the mechanotransduction marker FM 1 -43FX .We labelled proliferating cells in primordium and neuromast by addition of BrdU to the system water .Results The posterior lateral line primordium originated from a sensory placode and started its journey at around 20 hours post fertilization to migrate along the horizontal myoseptum to the tail -tip with a constant speed (1 .7somite/hour) .The primordium depositd five or six neuromasts spaced along the body ,and two or three terminal neuromasts at the tail -tip at 48 hours post fertiliza-tion .At 3 ,5 and 7 days post fertilization ,zebrafish contained 5 .68 ± 1 .46 ,10 .1 ± 0 .99 ,and 12 .45 ± 1 .32 hair cells per neuromast ,respectively .Furthermore ,the average number of FM1-43FX stained hair cells within each neuro-mast were 3 .68 ± 1 .11 ,8 .18 ± 1 .86 ,and 10 .22 ± 1 .24 ,respectively .Conclusion We establish the development model of hair cells in zebrafish lateral line neuromast and suggest that 3 to 7 days post fertilization is an important period for lateral line neuromast differentiation .This study would be useful for underlying the mechanisms of hair cell differentiation and regeneration .

Histone deacetylases are involved in many biological processes and have roles in regulating cell behaviors such as cell cycle entry, cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, the effect of histone deacetylases on the development of hair cells (HCs) has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we examined the influence of histone deacetylases on the early development of neuromasts in the lateral line of zebrafish. Hair cell development was evaluated by fluorescent immunostaining in the absence or presence of histone deacetylase inhibitors. Our results suggested that pharmacological inhibition of histone deacetylases with inhibitors, including trichostatin A, valproic acid and MS-275, reduced the numbers of both HCs and supporting cells in neuromasts. We also found that the treatment of zebrafish larvae with inhibitors caused accumulation of histone acetylation and suppressed proliferation of neuromast cells. Real-time PCR results showed that the expression of both p21 and p27 mRNA was increased following trichostatin A treatment and the increase in p53 mRNA was modest under the same conditions. However, the expression of p53 mRNA was significantly increased by treatment with a high concentration of trichostatin A. A high concentration of trichostatin A also led to increased cell death in neuromasts as detected in a TUNEL assay. Moreover, the nuclei of most of these pyknotic cells were immunohistochemically positive for cleaved caspase-3. These results suggest that histone deacetylase activity is involved in lateral line development in the zebrafish and might have a role in neuromast formation by altering cell proliferation through the expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins.
