The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(5):732-734
Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of BRCA1,β-tubulin III (TUBB3) and their efficacies with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods The expression levels of BRCA1 and TUBB3 were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between BRCA1 and TUBB3 expressions and their efficacies were analyzed. Results The high expression rate of BRCA1 was 34.8%, and the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with BRCA1-lower expression is obviously better than that in patients with BRCA1-higher expression. There was a significant difference between these two groups (30.4%vs 67.4%, P=0.004). The effective rate of platinum-based chemotherapy in TUBB3-higher expression group and TUBB3-lower expression group were illustrated no significance (59.4% vs 50.0%, P=0.445). Conclusion Platinum-based chemotherapy is more suitable for the advanced NSCLC patients with lower expression of BRCA1. The expression level of BRCA1 could be used to predict the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of evidence-based nursing on the clinical curative effect and prognosis of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods 120 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were selected,and they were randomly divided into observation group(60 cases) and control group(60 cases) according to the digital table.The control group was treated with routine nursing,the observation group was treated with routine nursing and evidence-based nursing.Before and after nursing,the SDS,self rating anxiety scale (SAS),neurological deficit score NIHSS,Barthel score,the incidence of sequelae,hospitalization time,nursing quality score and patients’ satisfaction with nursing were compared between the two groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences in SDS,SAS,NIHSS and Barthel scores between the two groups before nursing intervention(all P > 0.05).After nursing intervention,the SDS,SAS,NIHSS and Barthel scores of the observation group were (38.74 ± 6.21) points,(35.83 ± 8.17) points,(11.24 ± 3.08) points,(92.58 ± 6.46) points,respectively,which in the control group were (44.58 ± 7.10) points,(43.66 ± 8.06) points,(15.34 ± 3.29) points,(84.27 ± 5.82) points,there were significant differences between the two groups (t =4.796,5.285,7.047,7.403,all P <0.05).,The incidence rate of venous thrombosis,muscle atrophy and joint ankylosis sequelae of the observation group was 8.33%,which was lower than 40.00% of the control group,there was significant difference between the two groups(x2 =16.415,P < 0.05).The hospitalization time of the observation group was (9.55 ± 2.43)d,which was shorter than (15.97 ± 4.68) d of the control group (t =9.430,P < 0.05).The health education nursing quality score,ward management score,basic nursing score,nursing care of critical patients score,nursing document writing score of the observation group were (97.66 ± 2.45) points,(98.23 ± 3.46) points,(97.54 ± 3.18) points,(96.88 ± 3.49) points,(98.76 ± 1.31)points,respectively,which were higher than those of the control group [(88.79 ± 2.37) points,(90.72 ±3.52) points,(91.05 ±3.16) points,(91.67 ± 5.34) points,(93.04 ± 1.12) points],there were significant differences between the two groups(t =20.156,11.786,11.214,6.326,25.707,all P < 0.05).The patients’ nursing satisfaction of the observation group (96.67%) was higher than that of the control group (85.00%),there was significant difference between the two groups (x2 =4.904,P < 0.05).Conclusion Evidence -based nursing can effectively relieve patients’ anxiety and depression of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage,improve the quality of life of patients,reduce the incidence of complications,shorten the hospitalization time,improve patients'satisfaction.

Objective San-PCR was used to analyze an outbreak of nosocomial infection caused by Brukholderia cepacia.Meanwhile a new DNA amplification technique for genetic fingerprinting-San-PCR was introduced,which owns high sensitivity and facility for homology analysis.Methods The proposed technique was based on the digestion of genomic DNA with the restriction endonuclease Sau3AI and subsequent amplification with primers which carried San3AI recognition site.Finally the homology among the DNA samples was analyzed on the basis of the profiles of agarose gel electrophoresis.Results All of the 11 strains isolated from the patients shclwed the homology except one.The results were confirmed by using PFGE and the results showed consistence with PFGE results.Condusion Sau-PCR is simple,robust,rapid method for DNA fingerprinting with broad perspective.

Objective:
To investigate the blood lead level of children living around lead-zinc mining areas, in order to analyze its distribution features of the population.
Methods:
In August 2016, three natural villiages around lead-zinc mines were selected randomly as survey sites, which were grouped A, B and C according to each distances from the center field, totally 1 379 children from the three villages were selected by cluster random sampling method as the investigation subjects, and their elbow peripheral vein blood samples were collected to determine the blood lead level by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The distribution features of blood lead in different district, gender and age groups were compared and analyzed.
Results:
The median and quartile range of blood lead were 0.066 and 0.058 mg/L respectively. The blood lead levels of 341 children were esceeding 100 μg/L and that account for 24.73%. The median blood lead showed statistical significant differrnce among three groups (
