Objective To explore the association between C reactive protein (CRP)with prostatic cancer (PCa)and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods Retrospective analysis the 110 patients of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University In January 2010 to August 2012 whose TPSA>4 ng/ml,postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of 54 cases of prostate cancer,5 6 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia.Detected serum CRP levels by using transmission turbidim-etry and TPSA levels by using chemiluminescence immunoassay of 54 PCa and 56 BPH patients.According to the Gleason score,PCa patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk PCa two groups,the differences among high-risk PCa,low-risk PCa and BPH groups were analyzed by nonparametric statistics analysis.Results The CRP level of high-risk PCa was 4.20~2.12 mg/L,the CRP level of low-risk PCa was 1.90~0.91 mg/L and the CRP levels in BNP patients was 1.49±0.87 mg/L,the high-risk and low-risk PCa serum CRP level obviously higher than that of patients with BPH,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Serum CRP levels of PCa patients were increased significantly,espe-cially in high-risk PCa patients.

Objective To investigate the set-up errors of super and middle part of esophageal cancer patients using cone-beam CT (CBCT) during intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT),hence determine various margins from CTV to PTV.The corresponding influence on the normal tissues (lung and spinal cord) was also discussed.Methods From December 2012 to December 2013,12 patients with upper and middle segment of esophageal cancer were chosen.Using their 60 sets of weekly acquired CBCT images prior to the treatment,the lateral,longitudinal,and vertical set-up errors of each patient were obtained.Based on these measured errors and the target motions,we adopted new margins to create new PTV.Then IMRT plans were created for the original PTV (5 mm margin in all directions on CTV) and new PTV respectively.On condition of the same target coverage (V95 ≥ 95%),the doses to lungs (V5,V20,V30,D) and spinal cord (D1 cm3) were compared statistically between the original and new plans.Results According to the 60 CBCT scans,the average left-right (RL),superior-inferior (SI),anterior-posterior (AP) set-up errors were (2.02 ± 1.74),(2.03 ± 1.93),and (2.02 ± 1.89) mm respectively.The margins were 5.6 mm (RL),8.5 mm (SI),and 4.7 mm (AP) for the upper esophagus and 6.2 mm (RL),11 mm (SI),and 5.0 mm (AP) for the middle esophagus.Comparison of both lungs and spinal cord suggested significant differences between the two plans (t =-8.23,-5.55,-4.66,-6.87,-4.67,P <0.05).Conclusions The margins from CTV to PTV should be created via CBCT-measured set-up errors and previous reports,which can be helpful for clinical treatment.

Objective To observe the in vitro damage to hairs by Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ), and to compare the differences in the duration needed for the two fungi to damage hairs in different age groups. Methods We collected healthy hairs from different age groups, and performed hair perforation test in vitro. The damage to the hairs was observed by SEM and light microscopy. Results Both T. mentagrophytes and M. canis could damage the hairs. The duration needed for T. mentagrophytes to damage the hairs was significantly shorter than that for M. canis in all age groups ( P

Objective To summarize the perioperative nursing of undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal neobladder for the treatment of bladder cancer? Method The nursing measures included preoperative psychological care,bowel and body preparation as well as postoperative nursing of drainage tube,ileal bladder irrigation,bladder functional exercise and basic nursing care? Results No patients suffered from postoperative complications such as infections,urinary fistula and anastomotic leakage? Twenty patients recovered autonomous urination within 3-6 months after the operation? One patient got minor urinal incontinence? Conclusions Cystectomy with orthotopic ileal neobladder trauma contributes to more complications due to large surgical trauma? Therefore,good perioperative care is important for the successful operations?

BACKGROUND:Medical stuff have significant impacts on the development of organ donation and transplantation, however, medical students present insufficient knowledge and ambivalent attitude towards organ donation and transplantation. OBJECTIVE:To perform a systemic review on the effectiveness of educational program intervention on medical students’ knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation and transplantation. METHODS:PubMed, WILEY ONLINE LIBRARY, ProQuest Health, Medline, EMbase, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases were ful y searched for the published literature of medical students receiving an educational program intervention on organ donation and transplantation. According to the inclusion criteria, randomized control ed trials and quasi-experimental study were evaluated with the standard of Joanna Briggs Institute. The GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) framework was used to guide the assessment of the methodological quality of the studies. The outcomes were mainly medical students’ knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation and transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Eight studies from three countries were summarized. The methods were employed in two studies of randomized control ed trials and quasi-experiment received a high quality rating, five studies received middle quality rating and one study received low quality rating. Educational program increased the knowledge in six studies, and changed the attitudes in six studies. Educational program intervention is a significant strategy to increase medical student’s knowledge about organ donation and transplantation. The majority of involved study are
quasi-experiment study, so more high-quality randomized control ed studies are needed.

In order to investigate whether defense genes PAL, LOX, PBZ1, PR 1 a and Cht 1 participate in APR(adult plant resistance)to rice bacterial blight, their expression were analyzed using RT-PCR. Enzymatic activities of PAL and LOX were also measured. Results indicated that PAL was induced by pathogen and wounding in adult plants while it only induced by pathogen at the seedlings, and the expression of PAL was stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. Expression of LOX was induced by pathogen both in seedlings and adult plants and it was stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. Expression PBZ1 was induced by both pathogen and wounding in both seedlings and adult plants and it is earlier and stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. No expected fragments were obtained for PR 1 a and Cht 1. Enzymatic activities of PAL and LOX were consistent with their mRNA accumulations, respectively. It is probable that activation of PAL,LOX, and PBZ1 play crucial roles in APR to rice bacterial blight.
