Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of marriage quality intervention in peer education model among women with breast cancer.Methods Marginal quality questionnaire was used to assess in the intervention and control groups during the perioperative period.There had 120 breast cancer patients in the intervention group and 135 normal subjects for control group.The patients were followed by the peer education model and the marriage and quality education during the chemotherapy period.The marriage quality questionnaires were carried out one year after the operation.Results Marital satisfaction(38.73±7.45),couples communication(38.12±7.03)and sex life(36.77±6.96)were significantly higher than those of the patients who participated in the traditional health education group after 1 year of operation.The control subjects with traditional health education had lower satisfaction of marital life(32.59±9.29),husband and wife communication(34.41±7.39)and sexual life(32.59±6.59)in one year after surgery(P<0.001).The scores of marital satisfaction,husband and wife communication,and sex scores were significantly lower in patients with traditional health education after 1 year of operation(P<0.001).Conclusion Marriage quality interventions in the peer education model can effectively affect the marital quality of postoperative patients with breast cancer.

Objective To design a nursing checklist for continuous renal replacement therapy in ICU patients and to apply it to clinical settings. Methods A nursing checklist for continuous renal replacement therapy was de-signed through reviewing guidelines and literatures. The checklist was used in ICU patients treated with continu-ous renal replacement therapy,and nursing situation (including operation time,operation quality,etc.) was compared before and after application of the checklist. Results After applying the nursing checklist for continuous renal re-placement therapy,the nursing procedures were standardized,the operation time was reduced,and operation quality was improved. Conclusion The application of nursing checklist in nursing management of continuous renal replace-ment therapy helped to standardize continuous renal replacement therapy operating procedures,improve efficiency and quality at work,and ensure patient safety.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of thinprep cytology test(TCT) combined with colposcopy in diagnosis of cervical lesion. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted in 174 females with abnormal cervical smear. All the patients underwent colposcopy to screen the cervical lesions. According to the pathological results,the clinical value of TCT and colposcopy was analyzed and compared. Results In the 174 cases with abnormal cervical smear,the positive rate of atypical squamous cells(ASC) was 27. 0% (47/174). There were 92 low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) (52. 9%) ,33 high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (19. 0%) and 2 squamous cell cancinoma (SCC) (1. 1%) . According to the diagnosis by biopsy and pathology,the positive rate of benign cervical cell(BCC) was 16. 1% (28/174) .cervical intraepithelial neoplnsia (CIN) I 42. 0% (73/174), CIN II 18.4% (32/174), CIN ffl 21. 8% (38/174) and SCC 1. 7% (3/174) . The coincidence rate of TCT and pathology was 83. 9% (146/174). Conclusions TCT and colposcopy are a practical approach for detecting cervical lesion. TCT combined with colposcopy is the optimal screening approach for cervical lesion, which can enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of cervical lesions.

Objective To investigate the effect of different subtypes of fractionated doses on multidrug resistance in ovarian cancer cells.Methods The human ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3 and its drug-resistant subtype SKVCR were divided into four groups i.e., sham-irradiated, single dose (10 Gy),fractionated dose (2 Gy × 5 ) and multi-fractionated dose (1 Gy × 2 × 5).Cell sensitivity to vincristine(VCR),etoposide ( VP-16),pirarubicin (THP) and cisplatin (DDP) was measured by MTT assay.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of P-gp after irradiation.Results The doubling time of SKVCR was about 1.8-fold of that of SKOV3 cells.P-gp was expressed in SKVCR but not in SKOV3.IC50 values of SKVCR were higher than those of SKOV3.To SKOV3 cells,single dose irradiation decreased cell sensitivity to THP and DDP and fractionated irradiation decreased cell sensitivity to VCR,THP and VP-16.Multi-fractionated irradiation decreased cell sensitivity to VP-16.In SKVCR cells,all these irradiation treatments increased cell sensitivity to VCR and VP-16 but not to DDP.In addition,single and fractionated irradiation decreased P-gp expression in SKVCR cells.Conclusions Single,fractionated and multi-fractionated radiation induced chemotherapy resistance in SKOV3 cells,while reversed drug resistance to VCR and VP-16 in SKVCR cells.

Objective To analyze the misdiagnosed cases of the nodular goiter (NG)in real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS),in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of NG.Methods Two-hundred and sixty-five cases of NG CEUS images,especially the 48 nodules in 44 misdiagnosis cases,were retrospectively analyzed to find out the main reasons of the misdiagnosis.In addition,the factors which effected the results of CEUS such as size,number and calcification of NG nodules were summarized.Results There were 42 nodules misdiagnosed as thyroid cancer,5 nodules misdiagnosed as thyroid adenoma and 1 nodular goiter misdiagnosed as subacute thyroiditis in 874 nodular goiter cases.The misdiagnosis rate of nodular goiter was 5.49% (48/874)by the diagnostic criterion of homogeneous enhancement in CEUS.The differences size and calcification of nodules had a significant impact on CEUS.The misdiagnosis rate of the NG nodules with major diameter less than 10 mm was much higher than that of more than 10 mm,the misdiagnosis rate of NG nodules with coarse calcification was much higher than the situation of microcalcification(P <0.05).Conclusions Major diameter less than 10mm and coarse calcifications of NG nodular are the main factors which influence the results of CEUS.

Objective To investigate the reason for misdiagnosis of real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in identifying benign and malignant thyroid nodules and the impact of nodule size and calcification on CEUS result.Methods Retrospective analysis were carried out in 331 cases of thyroid disease patients with 421 nodules.All the nodules were performed CEUS and confirmed by pathology.Results In the total of 421 nodules,33 nodular goiters were misdiagnosed as thyroid carcinoma.8 nodular goiters were misdiagnosed as thyroid adenoma.8 thyroid carcinomas were misdiagnosed as nodular goiter,2 thyroid carcinomas were misdiagnosed as thyroid adenoma.The accuracy of diagnosis for thyroid benign and malignant lesions by CEUS was 87.89％,and the misdiagnosis rate was 12.11％.The size of the thyroid nodule and the form of calcification had influence on diagnosis.In the group with diameter of the nodule less than 10 mm,the misdiagnosis rate was higher compared with the other two groups,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).In addition,the misdiagnosis rate in the group with bulky calcification was higher than microcalcifications group,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion The size of the thyroid nodule and the form of calcification have some impact on diagnosis of CEUS.To make clear the reason for misdiagnosis is beneficial to improve the diagnostic level of thyroid diseases.

Objective:To observe the effects of All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the immune functions of AChR-specific lymphcytes via in vitro assays,and investigate the possibility of ATRA in the clinical treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG).Methods:CFA control group and EAMG experimental rats were established to obtain single lymphocytes suspension and cells were followed by AChR97-116 peptide with or without ATRA stimulation for 72 h,and then viable cell population,cell apoptosis,cell cycle and the distribution of Th cells were determined by flow cytometry.CCK-8 assay was selected to evaluate the effects of ATRA on proliferatory ability of lymphocytes.ELISA was used to detect the antibody secretion of B cells affected by ATRA.Results:Compared with CFA group,lymphocytes obtained from EAMG rats had higher ratios of living cells,and this ratio was obviously decreased after ATRA treatment,P＜0.001.Different concentrations of ATRA promoted the apoptosis of AChR-specific cells (P＜0.001),and the promoted effects were ATRA dose-dependent,however,cell cycles were not changed.ATRA markedly inhibited the proliferation of cells from both CFA and EAMG groups,moreover,AChR-specific cells were more sensitive to ATRA treatment (P＜0.01) than that of cells from CFA rats (P＜0.05).The ratio of AChR-specific CD4+T cells was reduced by ATRA (P＜0.01),and ATRA incubation significantly promoted the percentages of Th2,(PCD4+-4IL-4+＜0.001),Treg (PCD4+-Foxp3+＜0.001) cell types,but markedly inhibited the percentages ofThl7 (PCD4+-IL-17+＜0.05),Thl (PCD4+-IFN-γ+＜0.001) cells.ELISA data showed us that ATRA obviously down regulated the antibody secretion of AChR-specific B cells,P＜0.01.Conclusions:ATRA not only inhibited the functions of AChR-specific T cells,but also suppressed the roles of AChR-specific B cells,predicating a therapeutic effect of ATRA on myasthenia gravis therapy.

AIM: To study the protective effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on myocardial ischemia in rats and their underlying mechanism. METHODS: A rat myocardial ischemic injury model was established by left coronary artery ligation. The rats were killed at 2 h, 4 h, 8 h after coronary artery occlusion. The samples of blood and myocardium were collected for observing the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in myocardial cells and the changes of superoxide dismutase (SOD) or myocardial enzymes. RESULTS: The amount of Bcl-2 protein expression of myocardial cells in ischemia + bFGF group was significantly higher than that in ischemia+saline group (P

Objective To investigate the efficacy of widely used antibiotics for urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis infection in recent 5 years.Methods A total of 2 809 cases of Chlamydia trachomatis urogenital infected patients who visited STD clinics of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from 2006 to 2010 were collected.All the patients had accomplished a course of treatment of azithromycin, minocycline, moxifloxacin or clarithromycin and followed up for 3 months (once every month).Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to analyzed the antibiotics effect changing trends overtime.Results From 2006 to 2010, the etiology clearance rates of azithromycin were 76.70% (79/103), 74.19% (92/124), 74.13% (106/143), 71.43% (100/140) and 70.77% (92/130), respectively;those of minocycline were 75.31% (61/81), 64.67% (97/150), 66.53% (159/239), 65.05% (188/289) and 63.03% (104/165), respectively;those of moxifloxacin were 88.82% (167/188), 86.23% (119/138), 82.96% (185/223), 81.19% (233/287) and 81.03% (158/37), respectively;those of clarithromycin were 82.93% (34/41), 80.49% (33/41), 79.25% (42/53), 78.18% (43/55) and 75.00% (18/24), respectively.Ochran-Armitage trend test showed that antimicrobial efficacy of moxifloxacin for urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis infection rates declined year by year (P<0.05), while those of azithromycin, clarithromycin and minocycline did not decline significantly (all P>0.05).Conclusions The etiology clearance rate of moxifloxacin is the highest but gradually declines by years, and that of azithromycin takes the second place, while the treatment efficacy of minocycline is lower but quite stable.The number of cases treated with clarithromycin is too small to draw a conclusion.
