Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) are common gynecologic endocrine diseases, and their etiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment are related but also distinguishing. Some patients have PCOS and DUB at the same time, which is difficult to cure. Professor ZHANG Liang-ying has treated these patients with staging treatment based on syndrome differenciation, and has received desiable efficacy.

Objective To explore the effect of head nurses′tutoring and commenting on nursing ward round. Methods The nursing ward rounds performed during August 2013 to July 2014 were assigned as the control group and those nursing ward rounds during August 2014 to August 2015 as observation group: in the former group routine nursing ward rounds were done once a week and in the latter the rounds were performed by head nurses′tutoring and commenting once every week. The two groups were compared in terms of examination performances of nursing ward rounds, doctors′ and nurses′ satisfaction degree, nurses′ and student nurses′evaluation on the ward rounds and their critical thinking ability. Results The examination performances and the satisfaction degree in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The nurses in the observation group thought the head nurse′s commenting at ward rounds could be more effective than those from the control group in their improvement of theoretical knowledge and clinical ability (P<0.05). In terms of critical thinking by California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version), the total score and the scores on its dimensions in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Conclusion The nursing ward rounds by head nurses′tutoring and commenting can help the nurses to strengthen their ability in nursing ward rounds and improve their theory and clinical practice so that the nursing quality is improved.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of using 8-hydroxy-2'deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG) in blood and urine samples as biomarkers for the evaluation of human DNA oxidative damage caused by diesel exhaust(DE). METHODS: A convenient sampling method was used to select 56 male workers exposed to DE in a car manufacturing factory as exposure group, and 52 male workers without exposure to DE were selected as the control group.Urine samples and blood samples were collected from workers in the 2 groups 8 hours after work, and the levels of 8-OHdG in urine and plasma were measured by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometer. RESULTS: The median level of urinary 8-OHdG in the exposure group was higher than that of control group(2.54 vs 2.03 μg/g Cr, P<0.05). The median levels of plasma 8-OHdG in the exposure group and control group showed no statistical significance(32.20 vs 31.40 ng/L, P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The urinary 8-OHdG can be used as a biomarker for evaluating the oxidative damage induced by DE exposure.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate and compare the value of Modified NIH criteria and AFIP criteria for the risk classification of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).
METHODSClinicopathological and follow-up data of 539 patients diagnosed as primary GIST with or without irregular tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the Nanfang Hospital(n=143), Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (n=138), Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (n=102) and Wuhan Union Hospital (n=156) from January 2012 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Recurrence risks of these 539 patients were classified by the modified NIH criteria and AFIP criteria. Overall survival and tumor-free survival of patients with different risks were compared by Log-rank test and the accuracy of the two criteria in predicting postoperative recurrence was compared by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves.
RESULTSOf 539 GIST patients, 283 were male and 256 were female; the age was (56.5±12.5) years old; tumors of 390 cases (72.4%) located in the stomach; tumor diameter of 178 cases (33.0%) was more than 5 cm; nuclear division number of 164 cases(30.4%) was more than 5/50 high magnification. The mean follow-up time was (37.5±13.6) months. According to the modified NIH criteria, the mean overall survival time of patients with very low, low, intermediate, and high risk was 52.0, 57.0, 56.9 and 53.6 months respectively (P=0.002), and the mean tumor-free survival time was 56.0, 58.1, 58.2 and 51.2 months respectively (P=0.000). According to the AFIP criteria, the mean overall survival time of patients with very low, low, intermediate, and high risk was 54.1, 57.8, 55.5 and 52.0 months respectively(P=0.015), and the mean tumor-free survival time was 57.3, 56.6, 54.9 and 50.4 months respectively(P=0.000). While predicting the risk of postoperative recurrence, the ROC curve of AFIP criteria has a larger area under the curve compared to the curve of the modified NIH criteria(0.689 vs 0.641, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONCompared with the modified NIH criteria, AFIP criteria predicts the risk postoperative recurrence more accurately in GIST patients.
