Objective To explore the best cut-off value of serum human epididymis protein 4(HE4)in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer,and analyze the clinical significance of combined detection of HE4,carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125)and D-dimer for early screening and diagnosis of ovarian cancer.Methods A total of 49 patients with ovarian cancer,63 patients with benign tumor and 47 healthy women were collected.The content of CA125,HE4 and D-dimer were detected by chemical luminescence immunoassay and turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay,respectively.Results The new cut-off value of HE4 was 54.31 pmol/L.The serum levels of HE4,CA125 and D-dimer in the ovarian cancer group were all significant higher than those in the ovarian benign tumor group and the healthy group(P<0.05).No significant difference between the healthy group and benign disease group was found in CA125 and D-dimer content(P=0.293,0.359),while a significant difference in HE4 level(P<0.01).The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of the HE4+CA125 increased to 91.8%,85.4%,which was higher than that of the diagnosis detection of the three indicators respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of the HE4 +CA125 +D-dimer were 95.0%,76.5%,which was higher than the combined detection of the HE4+CA125.Conclusion The combined detection of CA125+HE4+D-dimer could improve the sensitivity for early diagnosis and screening of ovarian cancer.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and prospect of innovative interactive follow-up mode for rehabilitation ofpostopera-tive breast cancer patietns in new medical environment. Methods The novel patient-centered medical care was promoted,and Pink Ribbon Clubs was established in different regions. Meanwhile,the patients’ self-support groups were formed, and a specialist for out-patients follow-up of outpatients by telephone or on the internet was arranged to provide psychological assessment,with timely and effective response. All data concerning to the follow-up were recorded and the patients were required to complete the relevant questionnaires. Results Compared with the same period in 2013,the follow-up rate was significantly increased to 80. 25%,and the patients showed higher satisfaction. The incidence of lymphedema in the patients was significantly reduced from 13% in 2013 to 7%. The quality of life was significantly improved and self-rat-ing score on depression was decreased from (51. 90 ± 8. 55) to (35. 81 ± 6. 21). Conclusion The kind of“Trinity” interactive mode is an effective follow-up mode with the clinical benefit in patients’ rehabilitation of physical and mental health,which is worthy of further applica-tion.

ObjectiveTo study the correlation between the etiology and clinical features of erythroderma.MethodsThe clinical data on 182 patients with erythroderma were retrospectively collected and analyzed.ResultsThe male-to-female ratio was 2.8 ∶ 1 and the average age at onset was 58.6 ± 14.6 years.Of the 182 cases,135 (74.2%) were due to pre-existing dermatoses,14 (7.7%) to drug reaction,8 (4.4%) to malignancies,while 25(13.7%) had no obvious precipitating factors.The most frequent triggering factor was systemic consumption of drugs(52 patients,28.6% ),and glucocorticosteroid was the most prevalent causative drug.Seventy-six patients were followed up,recurrence was observed in 14 patients but not in 58 patients,and 5 patients died,2 patients with idiopathic erythroderma were finally diagnosed with mycosis fungoides (MF)after multiple skin biopsies.ConclusionsPre-existing dermatoses are the most frequent cause of erythroderma.Idiopathic erythroderma is liable to relapse,possibly associated with malignancies,and should be closely followed up.

Reducing the level of emotional expression conflict of patients is of great significance to promote the functional recovery of breast cancer patients,improve their prognosis and improve their quality of life.We introduce the research progress of ambivalence over emotional expression in breast cancer patients in terms of the connotation,measurement tools,influencing factors,and intervention methods.There is still a lack of research on measuring the emotional expression conflict of breast cancer patients in China,and it is still necessary to develop a measurement tool with cultural characteristics to obtain the true level of emotional expression conflict of patients.In clinical practice,complementary and alternative medicine,cognitive behavioral intervention,mindfulness training,expressive writing intervention,and other intervention strategies have achieved certain results in improving patients'negative emotions,but personalized intervention strategies still need further exploration.
