This paper analyzes the reasons for quarantined patients' incomplete obedience to medical orders and comes up with relevant countermeasures as follows.1.External compulsory medical treatment should be combined with patients' internal self-consciousness.2.It is necessary to strengthen the mutual communication between doctors and quarantined patients,and observation for patients' condition.3.It is necessary to strengthen mental care and respect for patients' legal rights.4.A positive role should be taken in improving treating environment and give mental support from family members.

Objective: To study the effect of practice of family care in the intensive care unit of neurosurgery(NICU).Method: 276 patients and their family members who were in hospital from January 2006 to December 2007 were taken as study group to implement family care whose core was the management of accompany.241 patients and their family members who were in hospital from July 2004 to December 2005 were taken as control group to implement the management of no-accompany.The observation parameters are satisfaction rate and indicators of nursing qualitative.Results:The satisfaction rate and indicators of nursing quality in the study group are significantly higher than that of the control group(P

AIM: To amplify from leader peptide region an d obtain human monoclonal anti-D variable region gene with high specificity and affinity, and analyze the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences.ME THODS: The total RNA was extracted from an Epstein-Barr-virus-transforme d cell line secreting monoclonal anti- (rhesus D) antibody. The leader region pri mers containing a ribosome recognition site were designed. By using PCR method, the cDNA of human anti-(rhesus D) antibody (IgM ?) variable region gene was amp lified. Cloning and subsequent sequence analysis of the variable region gene was performed. The deduced amino acid sequence was also compared and analyzed with previ ously published sequences.RESULTS: A band of approximate 440 and 410 base pairs were amplified using heavy chain primers and light chain primer s, respectively. Sequence analysis indicated that the deduced amino acid sequenc e w as in agreement with the characterization of the amino acid present in the human Ig variable region. CONCLUSION: The cloning and sequencing of a human anti- (Rhesus D) antibody variable region cDNA will make benefits for pro duction of recombinant anti-(Rhesus D) antibody and prevention of Rh haemolytic disease in newborns.

AIM: To obtain eukaryotic expression vector of Chinese prostate-specific membrane antigen. METHODS: Chinese prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR from prostate cancer tissues, then cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3 0 and sequenced. RESULTS: Seven bases in Chinese PSMA cDNA sequence were found different from those reported by Israeli, which lead to two different amino acids. CONCLUSION: We have obtained the PSMA cDNA, and the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed. The study lays foundation for DCs vaccine modified by PSMA gene for the treatment of prostate neoplasms.

Objective To explore the value of interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) in the detection of trisomy 8 in patients with hematologic disorders. Methods Seventy-seven patients were vestigated by directly labeled centrome DNA probes specific for 8 chromosome. The results were compared with that of conventional cytogenetic (CC) analysis. Results The proportion of trisomy 8 of 77 cases of hematologic disorders detected by FISH is higher than by G-banding karyotyping and FISH could offer the result when conventional cytogenetic methods failed to diagnose. Conclusion Interphase FISH is more sensitive in the detection of trisomy 8 than CC, and FISH displays its superiority in the detection of small clone.

AIM: To discuss the relationship between prostate specific membrane antigen(PSMA) and prostate cancer and to seek a target for diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer.METHODS: A pair of primers was designed according to the published PSMA mRNA sequence.Total RNA was extracted from prostate cancer tissues and was reversely transcribed into cDNA,which was used as a template for PCR to amplify the PSMA gene.The recombinant was sequenced and the result was analyzed by BLAST.The PSMA5 gene specific primers were designed to identify its expression in different cells and prostate tissues.RESULTS: A new alternatively spliced variant of PSMA named PSMA5 was discovered when sequencing the recombinant.PSMA5 showed well pathological tissue-specificity,and its expression rate in prostate cancer,benign prostatic hyperplasia of prostate,and normal prostate tissue were 92.6%,78.8% and 10.0%,respectively.It expressed specifically in Pca cell line LNCaP,not in cell lines of PC3,bladder carcinoma,renal carcinoma,or hepatoma.CONCLUSION: A new alternative spliced variant of PSMA named PSMA5 was discovered,which was well correlated with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.This finding may give a new clue to the evolution of prostate cancer and may provide a target for the diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer.

AIM: To find out the gene structure and diversity of protate specific membrane antigen(PSMA) alternative spliced variants, and probe into the pathogenesis of prostate cancer.METHODS: 5'-RACE and 3'-RACE methods were used to amplify the 5' and 3'end of alternative spliced variant and then those viariants were sequenced for analyzing the gene stucture and diversity of PSMA alternative spliced variants of prostate cancer tissues.RESULTS: Four new alternative spliced variants of PSMA were discovered from prostate cancer tissues.Compared with reported PSMA alternative spliced variants,different insertions and deletions existed in different sites of those new variants.CONCLUSION: The discovery of the new variants confirms the diversity of PSMA spliced variants and provides the clues for seeking the target of diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer.

The new one-step testing kit can potentially be w idely used in forensic cases and D N A databank in the future.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the risk factors for oral mucositis (OM) in patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) , and provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of OM.Methods:Articles published up to June 2020 were systematically retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , VIP, and Wanfang databases, and screened independently by two reviewers according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research design, patient characteristics, follow-up time point, evaluation tools, statistical analysis results and other information of the included articles were extracted. After evaluating the risk of bias, RevMan 5.3 was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 17 studies and 3 659 HSCT patients were included. Meta-analysis was conducted on 9 factors related to OM, 2 factors related to moderate to severe OM, and 6 factors related to severe OM, and the results showed that the risk factors related to OM were female ( OR=1.40, 95% CI: 1.10-1.79, P=0.007) , bone marrow transplantation ( OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.00-3.47, P=0.05) , oral busulfan ( OR=38.61, 95% CI: 11.04-134.97, P<0.001) , use of methotrexate ( OR=2.34, 95% CI: 1.38-3.98, P=0.002) , and allografting ( OR=2.21, 95% CI: 1.18-4.15, P=0.01) , and the risk factors associated with severe OM were a pretreatment program containing high-dose melphalan ( OR=2.00, 95% CI: 1.24-3.22, P=0.004) . Conclusions:Female, bone marrow transplantation, oral busulfan, use of methotrexate, and allografting are correlated with OM, and the pretreatment program containing high-dose melphalan is correlated with severe OM. The correlation between other factors and OM still needs further verification. Medical staff should pay attention to these risk factors and take targeted prevention and treatment strategies to further improve the quality of nursing work.
