Objective To explore the effects of extension nursing on quality of life in cervical cancer patients after radiotherapy. Methods A total of 80 hospitalization patients from January 2013 to January 2015 was selected to join the QQL-BREF test. These 80 patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group, who all accepted regular health education, and the experimental group also accepted nursing once a month after discharge. The quality of life of patients in the two groups were assessed one year later. Results For the domain of physiological field, psychological field, independence, social, environmental, faith, the experimental group scored 3.73 ± 0.33, 3.66 ± 0.44, 3.67 ± 0.05, 3.48 ± 0.59, 3.73 ± 0.58, while the control group scored 1.68 ± 0.40, 2.39 ± 0.43, 1.76 ± 0.39, 2.10 ± 0.51, 3.02 ± 0.45 (t=1.26-21.15, P < 0.05). There were 5 factors, expect faith factor, which conformed to statistical principle (P<0.05). In 24 factors, 7 elements including human characteristic, security, income, skills and personal religion were not related to the statistical principle (P>0.05), Other 17 elements showed statistical difference (t=2.45-17.31, P < 0.01). Conclusions Extension nursing can improve cervical cancer patients′quality of life efficiently after radiotherapy and reduce the recurrence rate.

Objective To explore the correlation between the gene polymorphism of glucocorticoid receptor intron 4 G1666T (GR G1666T) and intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH ).Methods Frequencies of genotypes and alleles of GR G1666T in 48 pations with ICH(ICH group),48 ICH patients combining essential hypertension(EH) (ICH+EH group),46 EH patients (EH group) and 71 healthy people (NC group) were analyzed by a polymerase chain reaction for restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).The gender,body mass index(BMI),blood pressure(BP),the levels of plasma angiotensinogen,renin,blood glucoseand and blood lipid were compared among the various genotype of GR G1666T in ICH patients.Results There was no obviously difference of G1666T genotype and allele frequencie among the 4 groups.However,the G allele frequence of females in groups ICH,ICH+EH and EH were significantly higher than that in NC group(all P

Objective To observe the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein ( GFAP), and the pathological and ultrastructnral changes of astrocytes in the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus following global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, and to explore the neuroprotective mechanism of mild hypothermia. Methods Global cerebral ischemia was established in rats by a modified version of Pulsinelli's method. Ninety-six rats were divided into three groups including a sham-operated group, a normothermic ischemic reperfusion (IR) group and a hypothermic ischemic reperfusion (HIR) group. Each group had four subgroups which were sacrificed for 6, 12 or 24 hours, or 4 days after reperfusion (for each subgroup n = 8 ). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe morphological changes in neurons in the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus. TUNEL methods were used to detect apoptosis among those neurons. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of GFAP in the CA1 subfield and the mechanism of astrocyte pathology. GFAP TUNEL double-labeled immunohistochemistry was used with both the shamoperated and experimental groups. Electron microscopy was also used to evaluate morphological changes in astrocytes 24 hours and 4 days after ischemia and reperfusion. Results Compared with the sham-operated group, expression of GFAP immunoreactive positive cells increased gradually in the CA1 subfield of the IR group rats. Compared with the IR group, expression of GFAP immunoreactive positive cells was significantly lower in the HIR group at all time points. Microscopic observation at the 4th day showed that some astrocytes in the CA1 subfield had died through oncosis. Conclusions Mild hypothermia can significantly decrease the expression of GFAP immunoreactive positive cells and the number of apoptotic neurons in the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus, minimize cell oedema and provide protection for neurons. Oncosis kills astrocytes following global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.

Objective:To study the relationship between alpha seine/threonine-protein kinase (p-Akt)-serine/ threonine-protein kinase (mTOR)-ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K) signaling pathway and clinicopathological features or chemoresistance of ovarian cancer.Methods:We checked the p-Akt,mTOR and p70S6K protein levels in 18 tissues with chemoresistance or 25 with chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer by immunohistochemistry technique,and analyzed the relationship between those proteins and clinicopathological features or chemoresistance of ovarian cancer.Results:The levels of p-Akt protein in ovarian serous carcinoma,mucinous carcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma were 77.14%,50.00% and 66.67%,respectively,with no significant difference (P>0.05).The levels of these proteins in well-middle differentiated carcinoma and low differentiated carcinoma were 73.33% and 75.00%,respectively,with no significant difference (P>0.05).The levels of these proteins in Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage carcinoma,and Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage carcinoma were 18.18% and 93.75%,respectively,with significant difference (P<0.05).The levels ofmTOR protein in ovarian serous carcinoma,mucinous carcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma were 77.14%,100.00% and 83.33%,respectively,with no significant difference (P>0.05).The levels of this protein in well-middle differentiated carcinoma and low differentiated carcinoma were 80.00% and 78.57%,respectively,with no significant difference (P>0.05).The levels of this protein in Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage carcinoma,and Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage carcinoma were 27.27% and 96.88%,respectively,with significant difference (P<0.05).The levels of p70S6K protein in ovarian serous carcinoma,mucinous carcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma were 80.00%,100.00% and 100.00%,respectively,with no significant difference (P>0.05).The levels of this protein in well-middle differentiated carcinoma and low differentiated carcinoma were 93.33% and 78.57%,respectively,with no significant difference (P>0.05).The levels of this protein in Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage carcinoma,and Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage carcinoma were 45.45% and 96.88%,respectively,with significant difference (P<0.05).The levels of p-Akt protein in tissue of chemoresistance and chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer were 88.89% and 64.00%,respectively,with significant difference (P<0.05).The levels of mTOR protein in tissue of chemoresistance and chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer were 94.44% and 68.00%,respectively,with significant difference (P<0.05).The levels of p70S6K protein in tissue of chemoresistance and chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer were 100.00% and 72.00%,respectively,with significant difference (P<0.05).Conclusion:The p-Akt-mTOR-p70S6K signaling pathway may take part in invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer.The up-regulation of these proteins may be associated with the chemoresistance of ovarian cancer,and these proteins may have potential to be the prognostic markers for the chemoresistance of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To investigate the etiology of pleural effusion in hospitalized children in Beijing Children′s Hospital.Methods:Clinical information of children with pleural effusion admitted to Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2018 was retrospectively analyzed.According to the etiology, the children were divided into infection group (parapneumonic pleural effusion, tuberculous pleurisy and empyema) and non infection group.According to the age, the children were further divided into ≤ 3 years old, >3-7 years old and > 7 years old groups.Classification of statistics was performed, and the etiology of pleural effusion were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 1 165 children with pleural effusion, 746 cases(64.0%) were infected with pleural effusion, 697 cases (697/746, 93.4%) of who were parapneumonic effusion.In patients with parapneumonic effusion, 457 cases (61.3%) had Mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) infection.Infectious pleural effusion was more common in children >7 years old(339/479 cases, 70.8%), while non-infectious pleural effusion was prevalent in children under 3 years old(188/324 cases, 58.0%). The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=96.33, P<0.05). Among the patients with non-infectious pleural effusion, 239 cases (239/419 cases, 57.0%) had multi-system diseases and 97 cases (97/419 cases, 23.2%) had malignant pleural effusion.All the 18 deaths were non-infectious pleural effusion. Conclusions:The leading reason for pleural effusion in children is infection.The most prevalent symptom is parapneumonic effusion, which is mainly caused by MP.

Objective To obtain different fragments of human carboxypeptidase H,and evaluate the diagnostic application of the recombination carboxypeptidase H in detecting autoantibody.Methods The coding gene of carboxypeptidase H was ob-tained by RT-PCR.The corresponding prokaryotic expression vectors were constructed and transformed into E.coli to in-duce the expression of the recombination different fragments of carboxypeptidase H.Using these antigen fragments as the coating antigens,the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)was established for the detection of carboxypeptidase H autoantibody in 95 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.Results Three fragments of human carboxypeptidase H were obtained,in which the 42~476aa fragment antigen was ideal one.Using the full-length carboxypeptidase H as coating anti-gen,the positive rate of carboxypeptidase H autoantibody was 8.42%.Conclusion Because of the favorable antigenicity,the 42~476aa fragment antigen of carboxypeptidase H could be the candidate antigen for discrimination and diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence, etiology, clinical presentation and pathological features, treatment and prognosis of cervical cancer in young women. METHODS: Clinical data of 132 young women with cervical cancer were reviewed. RESULTS: Positive rate of human papillomavirus 18 was high in young women with cervical cancer. The primary clinical presentation of young patients with cervical cancer was contact bleeding of vagina, and the signs were out-expanding of cervical mass. The percentage of adenocarcinoma increased. The main treatment for cervical cancer was surgery. The patients had radical hysterectomy plus ovarian transplantation, none of whom had ovarian metastases and menopause syndrome. Prognosis of most patients was good. CONCLUSION Contact bleeding is a significant symptom in young women with cervical cancer. Surgery is first considered in the treatment. Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be used in patients with locally advanced and late stage cervical cancer. Ovarian transplantation during operation can retain the ovary function.

OBJECTIVE: To study the proteins related to paclitaxel-resistant of ovarian cancer cell line. METHODS: The total proteins of paclitaxel-resistant and paclitaxel-sensitive human ovarian cancer cell lines were separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). The differentially expressed proteins were analyzed using image analysis software. The differential proteins were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Western blot was used to determine the differential expression levels of the 2 proteins. RESULTS: Forty differentially expressed proteins were found by image analysis software, and 24 differential proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. These proteins included proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), nm23, prohibitin (PHB), annexin, alpha-enolase, heat shock protein (HSP), and so on. CONCLUSION Twenty-four proteins in human ovarian cancer cell lines of paclitaxel-resistant and paclitaxel-sensitive are found by proteomic techniques, which may be involved in the paclitaxel-resistance of human ovarian cancer cells.
