ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Orem self-care theory on the patients after renal transplantation.Methods102 patients after renal transplantation into were randomly divided into the observation group(52 cases),which received Orem self-care,and comparison group(50 cases),which received general care.Self-care ability,rate of infection and mental status of the 2 groups patients were observed and recorded.ResultsFor patients of the observation group,self-care ability of was obviously better(P<0.01),the rate of infection was lower(P<0.05),and mental status was improved(P<0.01) compared with patients of the observation group.ConclusionThe application of Orem self-care on patients after renal transplantation can promote self-care ability and decrease post-operation complications.

Using Kato's Self-abrasive Device, mass-screening for uterine cervical cancer has been carried out for 5, 983 married women at Chicheng country of a mountainous farm village and Shijiazhuang city in Hebei province, China, and the following result has obtained:
The women who diagnosed as class III and over were 42 persons (0.70%). Cancer cases which were confirmed by the biopsy were 10 (3 at Shijiazhuang city and 7 at Chicheng country); the occurrence rate of the cervical cancer was 0.17% and no false positive was observed. The mass -screening of the uterine cervical cancer has been carried out simultaneously by both way of the self-abrasive method and the scraper method for one third of persons who will take medical advice atboth districts. The result of comparative analysis for the quality of smear and the Papanicolaouclassification by the two method was;
1. As for the self-abrasive method, mixing with erythrocytes and overlapping of cells were few compared with the scraper method, and the diagnosis was more easily made in cytological examination.
2. The rate of coincidence by both methods were 78.85% in class I, 94.14% in class II, and 100.00% in class III-V.

OBJECTIVETo investigate diagnostic efficacy of transvaginal three-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (3D-HyCoSy) in assessing tubal patency with chromolaporoscopy.

METHODSA total of 157 infertile women underwent 3D-HyCoSy to evaluate tubal patency. Among these patients, 39 patients were also examined by chromolaporoscopy. The concordance of the two clinical assessment methods was analyzed by the Kappa coefficient test.

RESULTSAmong the 306 oviducts examined by 3D-HyCoSy, 99 (32.4%) were patent, 126 (41.2%) partially obstructed, and 81 (26.5%) completely obstructed. Diagnostic results with 3D-HyCoSy were not statistically different from those obtained in the 39 women (78 oviducts) who also underwent chromolaporoscopy, and the two methods showed a high concordance (k=0.747, P=0.000). The 3D-HyCoSy procedure had a sensitivity of 84.8% (28/33), a specificity of 96.2% (25/26), and positive and negative predictive values of 93.3% (28/30) and 86.2% (25/29) respectively.

CONCLUSIONTransvaginal 3D-HyCoSy can accurately reveal the spatial path and morphology of the oviduct and is a safe and effective method to evaluate tubal patency.

Objective To investigate the radiosensitizing effects of cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor LM-1685 on A549 cells in vitro.Methods A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cell line was used in this study.Cell growth kinetics Was determined using MTT assay.Cell survival was analyzed by clonogenic assay.The change of cell cycle Was measured by flow cytometry.Results LM-1685 inhibited the growth of A549 cells,showing a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner.LM-1685(50/μmol/L),either with or without IL-1β,showed the radiosensitizing effects on A549 cells,and the sensitizing enhancement ratio(SER)was 1.12 and 1.06,respectively.LM-1685(50 μmol/L)abrogated radiation-induced G2/M arrest of the tested A549 cells.Conclusions Cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor can enhance the radiosensitivity of A549 cell line.Abrogation of radiation-induced G2/M arrest could be part of the mechanism.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of warm needling combined with Zhangmo decoction (see text) on endometrial receptivity in patients with clomiphene (CC)-induced ovulation.

METHODSOne hundred and sixty cases were randomly divided into a CC group (group A), a CC+ progynova group (group B), a CC+ Zhangmo decoction group (group C) and a CC+ Zhangmo decoction + warm needling group (group D), 40 cases in each one. In the Group A, CC alone was applied. In the group B, progynova was jointly used on the 8th day of menstrual cycle. In the Group C, Zhangmo decoction was jointly used on the 5th day of menstrual cycle. In the group D, based on treatment of the Zhangmo decoction, warm needling was applied at Guanyuan (CV 4), Zhongji (CV 3) and Zigong (EX-CA 1) etc. The endometrial thickness and type, pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), ratio of S/D on day of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and pregnancy rate were observed in fou groups.

RESULTSThe PI, RI and S/D in the group C and D were obviously lower than those in group A and B (all P < 0.01). The endometrial thickness was (7.7 +/- 1.49) mm in group B, (8.2 +/- 1.54) mm in group C and (8.9 +/- 1.51) mm in group D, which were significantly different from (6.4 5 +/- 1.26) mm in the group A (all P < 0.01) also there was a significant difference between group C and D (P < 0.05). The rate of endometrial type A was 65.0% in the group D, which was significantly higer than 27.5% in the group A, 32.5% in the group B and 35.0% in the group C (all P < 0.01). The pregnancy rate was 30.0% in the group D, which was obviously higher than 12.5% in the group A, 15.0% in the group B and 17.5% in the group C (P < 0.05). The endometrial thickness and rate of endometrial type A in the pregnant were obviously higher than those in the non-pregnant (both P < 0.01) while PI, RI and S/D was lower than those in the non-pregnant (P < 0.01, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONWarm needing combined with Zhangmo decoction could improve endometrial thickness, morphology and uterine spiral artery to improve pregnancy rate, which has superior effect to clomiphene, clomiphene combined with progynova and clomiphene combined with Zhangmo decoction.
