ResultsCompared with the control group,the rate of gastrointestinal adverse reaction was lower,the anxiety and depression symptom alleviated,satisfaction degree of patients and their relatives with nursing improved,self-care ability of patients was enhanced in the self-care group,all had significant differences. ConclusionsApplication of self-care theory in nursing care of patients during chemotherapy after cervical cancer can greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of patients and their families and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal side effects.Meanwhile,it can make close nurse-patient relationship,improve the satisfaction degree of patients and their families,improve self-care capacity,improve the quality of care,reduce the psychological symptoms of patients,so it has significant social and economic benefits.

Rosai-Dorfman disease in nasal cavity and nasal sinuses is known as an idiopathic proliferative disease of histiocytes with a distinct morphologic feature and is very rare. It is easy to relapse and be misdiagnosed. In on case, the infiltrating histiocytes had large round or oval nuclei. The cytoplasm was abundant, granular or vacuolated and foamy. Immunohistochemical studies showed that the histiocytes were strongly reactive with antibodies against S100 and CD68. The diagnosis of extranodal RDD in the paranasal sinuses could be differentiated with rhinoscleroma, eosinophilic granuloma, plasmacytoma, or fibrous histiocytoma. It showed that the identification of the distinctive histiocytes which are typically immunoreactive to S100 and CD68 can be quite helpful for correct diagnosis.

Objective To explore the role of depression as a moderator of self-concept on self-care behaviors in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods A sample of 160 in-patients with CHF were recruited from a cardiovascular hospital in Beijing.Data were collected by self-report questionnaires assessing self-care behaviors,self-concept and depression.Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 17.0 software was used to conduct the path analyses.Results Body sensation,self-consistency,self-ideal,moral-ethical-spiritual self and depression revealed direct effects on self-care behavior.Body sensation,self-ideal,moral-ethical-spiritual self affected self-care indirectly via depression.These paths' total coefficients were 0.09,0.15,0.31,0.09 and -0.26,respectively.Conclusion Self-care behaviors are directly affected by self-concept and depression.Depression has a greater moderating effect on these relationships.The findings provide a theoretical basis to direct the development of interventions for improving self-care in individuals with heart failure.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats ( CRISPR)-mediated genome editing to downregulate the expression of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) on primary T cells by using a lentivirus delivery system. Methods Lentivirus vec-tors pLentiCRISPR A1-A6 containing different PD-1 genomic DNA sequences as single guide RNA ( sgRNA) for Cas9 targeting were constructed individually. The lentivirus vectors were tranduced into primary CD4 T cells. Flow cytometry analysis was performed to detect the expression of PD-1 for evaluating the knockout ef-ficiency. Results The lentivirus vectors pLentiCRISPR A1-A6 carrying six different target sites were con-structed and respectively tranduced into primary CD4 T cells. The expression of PD-1 accompanied with the activation of T cells. Co-expression of CD25 and PD-1 was observed on activated T cells. All of the six sites could be targeted by Cas9, of which A2 and A6 sites were more efficient in knocking out the gene encoding PD-1 with a rate of 19% and 29%, respectively. Conclusion This study suggests that it is feasible to knock out the expression of PD-1 on primary T cells by using CRISPR.

To investigate the application of a recently developed metallic oxide semiconductor field effect transistor(MOSFET)detector for use in vivo desimetry.Methods The MOSFET detector was calibrated for X-ray beams of 8 MV and 15 MV,as well as electron beams with energy of 6,8,12 and 18 MeV.The dose linearity of the MOSFET detector was investigated for the doses ranging from 0 up to 50 Gy using 8 MV X-ray beams.Angular effect was evaluated as well in a cylindrical PMMA phantom by changing the beam entrance angle every 15?clockwise.The MOSFET detector was then used for a breast cancer patient in vivo dose measurement, after the treatment plan was verified in a water phantom using a NE-2571 ion chamber,in vivo measurements were performed in the first and last treatment,and once per week during the whole treatment.The measured doses were then compared with planning dose to evaluate the accuracy of each treatment.Results The MOSFET detector represented a good energy response for X-ray beams of 8 MV and 15 MV,and for electron beams with energy of 6 MeV up to 18 MeV.With the 6 V bias,Dose linearity error of the MOSFET detector was within 3.0% up to approximately 50 Gy,which can be significantly reduced to 1% when the detector was calibrated before and after each measdurement.The MOSFET response varied within 1.5% for angles firm 270?to 90?.However,maximum error of 10.0% was recorded comparing MOSFET response between forward and backward direction.In vivo mea surement for a breast cancer patient using 3DCRT showed that,the average dose.deviation between measurement and calculation was 2.8%,and the maximum error was less then 5.0%.Conclusions The new MOSFET detector,with its advantages of being in size,easy use,good energy response and dose linearity,can be used for in vivo dose measurement.

Objective To study the optimal enhancement phase and exact triggering scan time on spiral CT angiography of vertebral and carotid artery,and to improve the rate of 3D-CT display in vertebral and carotid artery.Methods One hundred and thirty-three cases of CT angiography of vertebral and carotid artery(87 vertebral and 46 carotid artery)were examined with SmartPrep software,which controled the scan at real time after 100 ml contrast medium(350 mg I/ml Omnipaque)were quickly injected through foot back vein.One hundred and thirteen cases of control group were examined by triggeing off the scanning with a delay time of 18—22 s after blous injection through foot back vein.The vertebral and carotid arteries were demonstrated with 3 dimensional reconstruction.Results The successful rate in SmartPrep group was 100% with the enhancement situated in best(n=130)or good(n=3)scanning phase.The threshold concentration values of target vessel were kept on 100 HU in the whole scan period[(18?4)s].However, the triggering time of enhancement scanning was not equal(15—43s)and the deviation was up to 28 s.The average concentration of target vessel was obviously higher in SmartPrep group[(161.4?2.0)HU]than in the control group[(133.3?2.2)HU](t=-9.456,P

Objective To evaluate MRI in the diagnosis of the bone contusion of the knee joint and its clinical significance.Methods Using special coil for knee joint,coronal,sagittal,axial and oblique sagittal plane scanning with fast spin-echo sequence(T_1WI,T_2WI,PDWI+FS)was performed on knee joint in 205 patients in three days after injury.According the distributing bone marrow edema and injury mechanism,bone contusion were classified five types as pivot shift injury,clip injury,dashboard injury, hyperextension injury and lateral patellar dislocation.Results One hundred and forty-five cases of the 205 patients were found bone marrow edema without fracture on X-ray films.Among them,pivot shift injury was found in 43 cases accompanied with anterior cruciate ligament rupture in 30 cases,tear of the posterior horn of the lateral or medial meniscus in 12 and tears of the medial collateral ligament in 8 cases;clip injury in 53 cases accompanied with anterior cruciate ligament rupture in 10 cases,tear of the posterior horn of the lateral or medial meniscus in 15 and tears of the medial collateral ligament in 38 cases;dashboard injury 40 cases accompanied with posterior cruciate ligament rupture in 16 cases,hyperextension injury 9 cases accompanied with anterior cruciate ligament rupture in 2 cases,posterior cruciate ligament rupture in 5 cases.No lateral patellar dislocation was found.Forty-eight of 145 patients had undergone arthroscopy, 43 cases(89.6%)of them were in accordance with MRI diagnosis.Bone contusion were defined as geographic regions of abnormal signal intensity,that is,low signal intensity in T_1-weighted images and high signal intensity in PD-weighted or T_2-weigeted images with fat saturation.Conclusion MRI can accurately display the location and area of bone contusion of the knee joint as well as its adjunctive structure injury and deduce their injury mechanism.MRI should be used routinely for knee trauma.
