Objective To explore the correlation between the cancer-related fatigue and uncertainty in illness among breast cancer inpatients. Methods Totally 90 patients with breast cancer were involved in the study by cancer fatigue scale (CRS) and Mishel's uncertainty in illness scale-adult (MUIS-A). The correlations were analyzed. Results Approximately 100.00%patients experienced fatigue during hospitalization. The total score of uncertainty in illness was 107.51 ± 21.26. There was a positive correlation between each fatigue dimension and uncertainty in illness (P<0.001). Conclusions Cancer-related fatigue is widespread among breast cancer inpatients and sense of uncertainty in illness of patients is at a moderate level. Nursing staff can help patients to reduce disease uncertainty and improve the life quality of patients by strengthening health education , providing comprehensive information support, fully mobilizing patients' social support system.

Objective To establish the methodology of uncertainty evaluation with reference measurement procedure by Monte Carlo method (MCM).Methods According to JCGM 101:2008,we established the methodology of uncertainty evaluation by MCM in the example of GGT reference measurement procedure.We could calculate an estimate of GGT concentration,the associated standard uncertainty and a coverage interval with a specified probability by MATLAB software,setting the uncertainty evaluation by GUM method as a control.Results When the uncertainty was evaluated by GUM method,the results of sample A and Sample B were (95.8 ±2.4) U/L (k =2) with coverage interval [93.4 U/L,98.2 U/L] and (180.0 ± 3.9) U/L (k =2) with coverage interval [176.1 U/L,183.9 U/L] respectively,while using MCM method,the uncertainty evaluation result of sample A and Sample B were (95.8 ± 2.4) U/L (k =2) with coverage interval [93.4 U/L,98.2 U/L] and (180.0 ± 3.9) U/L with symmetrical 95% coverage interval [176.2 U/L,183.8 U/L].The output quantity simulated by MCM was normal distributed.Conclusions When the distribution of the output quantity is normal,the measurement uncertainty evaluated by both MCM and GUM method is nearly the same.When the distribution of the output quantity is unknown,MCM can be used as a verification of GUM method.

Objective To establish a rat model of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)through single-prolonged stress(SPS)and to observe the effect of social isolation on the behavior of the SPS model rats. Methods A total of 36 rats were randomly divided into the normal group, SPS model group and SPS combined with social isolation group. The rats in both SPS model group and SPS combined with social isolation group were modeled by single-prolonged stress,and the rats in the SPS combined with social isolation group were raised separately after modelling. The weight gaining,the total movement distance in open field test,the frequency of grid crossing,the single maximum movement distance,and the freezing frequency and time durations in the freezing behavior test were measured after 7 days of modeling. Results Compared with the normal group,the weight gaining and the single maximum movement distance of the rats in the SPS model group were significantly decreased(P < 0.01),as well as the total movement distance and the frequency of grid crossing(P < 0.05),while the freezing frequency and time in the freezing behavior test were significantly increased(P < 0.01). Compared with the normal group,the weight gaining and crossing times of the rats in the SPS combined with social isolation group was decreased(P <0.05),and the freezing frequency and time durations in the freezing behavior test were increased(P < 0.05). In addition, compared with the SPS model group,the total movement distance in the open field test,the frequency of grid crossing and the single maximum movement distance of the rats in the SPS combined with social isolation group were increased(P < 0.05). Conclusions The rat model of post-traumatic stress disorder is successfully established by single-prolonged stress, and 7 days of social isolation may alleviate the anxiety state of SPS model rats.

Objective To investigate the clinical pathological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of breast rhabdomyosarcoma, and to enhance the awareness of malignancy infiltration to bone marrow (BM). Methods The data of one case of Rhabdomyosarcoma of breast were analyzed retrospectively. BM aspirate and biopsy, morphology, immunology, cytogenetics, molecular biology (MICM) in different parts of BM, peripheral blood smear, fine puncture of breast mass, final biopsy of breast mass by Mammotome System and whole body PET-CT were performed. The immunochemistry stain of specimen of breast mass was used. Results The peripheral blood smear of this patient showed immature erythrocytes, leucocytes and classification of unknown cells which were consistent with BM morphology. The results of BM aspirate and biopsy depicted a hypercellular specimen with disseminated unknown cells infiltration. Unknown cells were positive for CD56 and negative for any hematopoietic markers by flow cytometry. The whole body PET-CT showed that uptake of 18F-FDG of bilateral breast and whole BM was increased, whereas the mass of breast was not presented by CT. PET-CT suggested a probable malignant hematologic disease. The enough specimen of breast mass got from Mammotome System showed embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, and the tumor cells were positive for MyoD1, Vimentin and Desmin. Conclusions It is a challenge for early diagnosis of solid sarcoma with unknown origin which diffusely infiltrating into BM. Negative expression of hematopoietic markers by flow cytometry plays a role on differential diagnosis in this setting, whereas PET-CT only provides a valuable reference. Enough specimen and immunohistochemical staining could provide solid evidences of diagnosis.

Objective To explore the clinical features and causes of misdiagnosis of the patients with acquired deficiency of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (ADVKDCF). Methods Retrospective analysis was performed with the data from 62 patients with ADVKDCF for etiological factors, clinical manifestations,laboratory examinations, diagnosis and treatments. Results Among the 62 patients, 51 patients were with unknown causes( subgroup A) and 11 were with clear histories of anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning( subgroup B). The presentations of hemorrhage of the patients varied with hematuria as the most common first symptom,followed by skin, mucosa, muscle, internal organs bleeding (28/62). The most common hemorrhage symptom is hematuria. 35 of the 62 patients had hemoglobin(Hb) levels less than 100 g/L due to blood loss( the lowest level was 32 g/L). Thirty-eight patients were misdiagnosed at the first visit and the median time from hemorrhage manifestation to definite diagnosis was 8 days (range,2 to 192 days). ADVKDCF was mostly misdiagnosed as the urinary system diseases (23/38), followed by hemophilia (8/38). Laboratory examinations showed normal platelet count , throm bin time (TT) and normal fibrinogen(Fg) concentration, but prolonged plasma prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT) and international normalized ration (INR). All of patients received high dose vitamin K ( intravenous vitamin K1 with a initial dose of 20 to 240 mg/d and then oral vitamin K4 maintenance) . The bleeding symptoms disappeared 1 day after treatment and the Hb levels increased dramatically. There were significant differences in PT, APTT and INR of the patients before and after treatment( P <0. 01 ). Followed by a median follow - up of 8 months , no patient had severe adverse effects or recurrence. Conclusion The hemorrhage presentations of the patients with ADVKDCF are various. The most common hemorrhage symptom is hematuria. The misdiagnosis rate of ADVKDCF is high with urinary systems disorders as the most common misdiagnosis. Sequential treatment with vitamin K is an effective and safe method to prevent recurrence. Early detection of coagulation function is helpful to reduce misdiagnosis possibility.
