Objective To observe the effect of externally-applied gallnut powder on Shenque integrated with orally-administeredWuhong Decoctionon sweat syndrome of cancer patients and summarize its nursing points. Methods Sixty patients were randomly divided into the control group and the therapeutic group, each with 30 patients. The therapeutic group was treated with externally-applied gallnut powder on Shenque and medication of'Wuhong Decoction'apart from the conventional treatment which was only used in the control group. The two groups were compared in terms of the situation of spontaneous sweat and night sweat and score of dizziness. Result The effects of spontaneous sweat and night sweat in the therapeutic group were better than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Externally-applied Gallnut powder on Shenque combined with medication ofWuhong Decoction can be effective in the treatment of sweat syndrome of cancer patients. It can help them to regain their physical power and then strengthen their resistance against diseases and finally enhance their quality of life.

It was found that Ag nanoparticles (NPs) could enhance the chemiluminescence (CL) intensity of luminol- potassium ferricyanide system. On the basis of enhancement effect,a flow injection method was developed for the determination of terbutaline sulfate. The structure and shape of Ag NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The UV-Vis absorption spectra and chemiluminescence spectra suggested that new luminophor was not formed after Ag NPs introducing in luminol-potassium ferricyanide chemiluminescence system. A possible mechanism of Ag NPs strengthening on luminol-potassium ferricyanide CL reaction was also discussed. The effect of concentration of luminol,potassium ferricyanide,sodium hydroxide and Ag NPs on CL reaction was investigated respectively. In the optimum conditions,the linear range was 1.0×10~(-9) -2.0 ×10~(-5) g/L(r =0.9935) and the detection limit was 1×10~(-10) g/L. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 3.6% for 1. 0 ×10~(-6) g/L terbutaline sulfate (n = 11 ). The recommended method has been successfully applied to the determination of terbutaline sulfate tablets and the recovery was between 98. 5% - 102. 5% ,moreover the results were almost identical with the same results of Pharmacopoeia method.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms in Chinese Han patients with extensive-disease small cell lung cancer(ED-SCLC),and evaluate the correlation between UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms and toxicity and efficacy of irino-tecan(CPT-11) based regimen in the patients with ED-SCLC. Methods: The analysis of UGT1A1?28 and UGT1A1?6 gene poly-morphisms was performed in 67 patients with ED-SCLC admitted in our hospital from June 2011 to January 2013. The 67 cases with ED-SCLC treated with irinotecan(CPT-11) based regimen were enrolled to observe the adverse events and efficacy during the chemo-therapy, including objective responserate rate ( ORR) , progression free survival ( PFS) and overall survival ( OS) . The incidence of different genotypes was compared. Results:The distribution of UGT1A1 genotypes in the 67 patients was follows:UGT1A1?28 wild-type (WT) genotype TA6/6 (56, 83. 6%), heterozygous genotype TA6/7 (11, 16. 4%);UGT1A1?6 wild-type (WT) genotype G/G (45,67. 2%), heterozygous genotype G/A (22,32. 8%). No significant difference of PFS and OS was observed between the differ-ent genotypes. The incidence of grade 3 and 4 delayed diarrhea and neutropenia in the patients carrying UGT1A1?6 G/A was higher than that in those with WT genotype (36. 4% vs. 6. 6%, P<0. 05;27. 2% vs. 4. 4%, P<0. 05, respectively). The incidence of grade 3 and 4 thrombocytopenia in the patients carrying UGT1A1?28 TA6/7 was higher than that in those with WT genotype (27. 2%vs. 1. 8%, P<0. 05). The patients simultaneously carrying UGT1A1?28 TA6/7 and UGT1A1?6 G/A were prone to suffering 3 and 4 delayed diarrhea and neutropenia. Conclusion: UGT1A1 polymorphisms may predict the adverse events of CPT-11 in ED-SCLC, while can not predict the efficacy of CPT-11.

This paper was aimed to study the safety of moxibustion with FMEA method.Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) were used in every aspect of the operation process of moxibustion.And the local skin temperature was measured in 80 patients treated with moxa box moxibustion.The results showed that the skin temperature reached the highest when the moxibustion was given for 15 min,which was in consistence with the patients' chief complaints and their tolerances.It indicated that moxibustion for 15 min was the best moxibustion amount.Meanwhile,inspection should be made to avoid burning.After the application of FMEA,the RPN of the inspection activities,the temperature and distance of moxibustion were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05).It was concluded that the application of FMEA management mode strengthened the risk management of moxibustion treatment,standardized treatment process,provided the basis for the temperature and distance of moxibustion,and ensured the safety and efficacy of treatment.

Objective:To compare the results of invasive prenatal diagnosis and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) and explore the underlying mechanism.Methods:Clinical data of pregnant women undergoing PGT and invasive prenatal diagnosis at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected. The results of PGT and invasive prenatal diagnosis were compared, and the outcomes of pregnancies were followed up. This study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (No. 2022SLYEC-491).Results:A total of 172 couples were included in this study, and 26 non-targeted variants were discovered upon prenatal diagnosis, including 10 cases (38.5%) by chromosomal karyotyping, 15 (57.7%) by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and 1 (3.8%) by whole exome sequencing. The 10 karyotypic anomalies had included 6 chromosomal polymorphisms, 2 chromosomal mosaicisms, 1 paternally derived translocation, and 1 missed maternal chromosomal inversion. CMA has identified 15 copy number variations (CNVs), which included 11 microdeletions and microduplications, 3 loss of heterozygosity, and 1 low-level mosaicism of paternal uniparental disomy. One CNV was classified as pathogenic, and another one was likely pathogenic, whilst the remaining 13 were classified as variants of uncertain significance. Therefore, 8.7% of CNVs was detected by invasive prenatal diagnosis after PGT. 92.3% (24/26) of the non-targeted variants have been due to technological limitations of next-generation sequencing (NGS).Conclusion:Invasive prenatal diagnosis after PGT can detect non-targeted variants, which may further reduce the incidence of birth defects.

Objective:To understand the results of blind evaluation of dissertation of three-year doctors and eight-year medical doctors, and to explore the improvement measures of eight-year program education.Methods:The data analysis method was manipulated. A total of 47 eight-year doctoral and 88 three-year doctoral dissertations submitted by the first clinical college of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2020 were selected as the research material. SPSS 17.0 was used to perform Chi-square test to compare the itemized evaluation opinions of the dissertation, Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation between the defense opinions, itemized evaluation opinions and the overall evaluation.Results:The gap between eight-year and three-year doctoral dissertation is mainly manifested in innovation and research value ( χ2=9.10, P=0.003), topic and review ( χ2=5.70, P=0.017), while there is no significant difference in the overall assessment and oral defense suggestion. The main influencing factor of dissertation defense suggestion for both doctors was the dissertation standardization (eight-year: r s=0.53, P<0.001; three-year: r s=0.45, P<0.001). The evaluation results of eight-year doctor dissertation were closely related to basic knowledge and scientific research ability ( r s=0.74, P<0.001). Conclusion:There is no significant difference between eight-year doctors and full-time doctors in research attitude. But there was a certain gap in scientific research and innovation ability among them. It is suggested to clarify the teaching objectives, formulate and refine the evaluation system of dissertations, and strengthen the cultivation of scientific research interest and academic belief of eight-year study program.
