Autophagy is a classical regulatory mechanism of energy metabolism and self-update system in the maintenance of the intracellular homeostasis and cell development. Autophagy has been recently found to play a role in tumor development. Autophagy regulates tumor formation, proliferation, metastasis, and metabolism. At the same time, the anticancer drugs formed with autophagic mediators have been used in the treatment, which suggested that improving autophagy activity to inhibit tumor has become a new way for cancer treatment of cancer patients. This article gives an overview of the regulatory mechanism of autophagy, the relationship between autophagy and tumor, and tumor therapy by targeting autophagy.

Objective To investigate the influence of evidence-based nursing intervention on treatment effect and quality of life in nephrotic syndrome children. Methods 98 cases were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group. The control group received routine nursing and the intervention group additionally received evidence-based nursing intervention. We compared the average hospital stay, treatment effect and quality of life in two groups. Results The average hospital stay in the intervention group was shorter than that of the control group. The treatment effect in the intervention group was ameliorated than that of the control group. The quality of life in the intervention group was ameliorated than that of the control group. Conclusions Evidence-based nursing intervention could obviously improve the treatment effect and quality of life in children with nephrotic syndrome.

Objective: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is characterized by severe hypotonia and feeding difficulties in early infancy, followed by excessive eating and gradual development of morbid obesity in later infancy or early childhood. Patients with PWS are often too young to manifest sufficient features or have atypical findings, making genetic testing important to confirm the diagnosis of PWS. Approximately 99% of patients with PWS have a diagnostic abnormality in the parent-specific methylation imprint within the Prader-Willi critical region (PWCR) at chromosome 15q11.2-q12. Of them, 70% have a paternal deletion; 25% have a maternal uniparental disomy (UPD); and <5% have a mutation in the imprinting center. Methods: Current techniques can identify a diagnostic abnormality, such as paternal deletion or maternal UPD for most of patients with PWS, but they are labor-intensive and cost-expensive. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) is a novel, simple, and cost-effective technique for analysis of relative quantification in a single assay, which has recently been applied for the detection of genomic deletions, duplications, and amplifications in a variety of genes. Results: Six out of 20 patients referred for genetic diagnosis of PWS were found to have a deletion by MLPA, confirmed by FISH and DNA methylation analysis with 100% concordance. Conclusion: MLPA's high sensitivity and specificity for deletion detection is the same as FISH or Southern blot based analysis. Additional collaborative effort for developing and validating the complete MLPA-PWS assay, for not only detecting deletion but also identifying methylation abnormality, is on going.

Objective We aimed to discuss the influence of establishment of a hospital which makes people satisfied on nursing management. Methods We improved our nursing work by establishing quality-control groups, training staff, checking once a week and making feedback once a month through decomposing and subdividing the standard of building a hospital which makes people satisfied from March 2002 to December 2006. Results The qualified rate of nursing management increased from 69.3% to 97.6% every year, which has statistical difference (P<0.01). Conclusions Establishment of a hospital which makes people satisfied improved the general level of nursing management quality and nursing staff. We acquired good social and economic befenit.
