Objective To summarize the cytological features of breast carcinoma by fine needle aspiration and differential diagonsis of breast hyperplasia and breast flbroadenoma. Methods Cytological features about 175 cases of breast cancer were analyzed,contrasted with 76 cases of breast hyperplasia and 93 eases of fibroadenoma. And 20 cases of low-diagnosis breast cancer were analyzed, compared with 13 cases of excessive diagnosis. Results The followings were found:disorderly arranged cells in 169 cases of breast cancer, about 96.9% in 175 cases,loose distance between the nucleus in 125 cases of all cases (about 71.4%). The percentage of small groups or scattered cells, medium size cells, round nucleus and irregular border nucleus was 34.3% (60/175) ,81.1% (142/175), 88.6% (155/175) and 28.6% (50/175) respectively. The nucleus/cytoplasm ratio was increased in 105 cases of all (about 60%). The nucleus/cytoplasm ratio was obviously reduced in 15 cases of all (about 8.6%). Big nucleolis were observed in 49 cases of all (about 28%). There was significant difference between nucleus size in 136 cases of all (about 77.7%). There was not myoepithelial cell in 168 cases of all (about 96%). The percentage of visible necrosis, scsttered round nucleus and integrity of cytoplasmic was 13.7% (24/175) ,89.7% (157/175), 66.9% (117/175) respectively. The cases of all above features were significantly more than those of breast hyperplasia and breast fibroadenoma (P <0.05). The percentage of large number of cells was 52.6% in 175 breast cancer cases,higher than 5.3% in 76 breast hyperplasia cases. There was a significant difference(P <0.05) between two groups. In 20 cases of low-diagnosis breast cancer the percentage of round nucleus with integrity of cytoplasmic, special arrangement cells was 70% (14 cases) ,35% (7 cases) ,higher than the cases in 13 excessive diagnosis cases. There was a significant difference(P < 0.05) between two groups. Conclusion The cell morphological characteristics of breast caner by fine needle aspiration are large number of cells, loose distance between the nucleus, disorderly arranged cells, small guoups or scattered cells, integrity of cytoplasmic, increased nuclear, round nuclear, irregular border nucleus,increased or decreased nucleus/cytoplasm ratio, big nucleoli, significant difference in nuclear size, no myoepithelial cell, visible necrosis. Most of breast cancer can be distinguished from breast hyperplasia and breast fibroadenoma by above characteristics. All those cytological characteristics are helpful to identify difficult case.

Objective To investigate whether emodin(1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone) can attenuate inflammatory response in rats' lungs with acute necrotic pancreatitis (ANP). Method Acute necrotic pancreatitis model was induced by injection of 3% sodium taurocholic acid into the subcapsular of pancreas and emodin was administered by intestine perfusion. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis was measured together with the detection of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 mRNA expressions in rats' lungs by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry was detected the expression of IL-1β converting enzyme (ICE) in the rats' lungs. Result Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups are obviously high as compared with normal group(P<0.05). Plasma amylase was (1 611.20±218.72)IU/L in normal group. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups were (1 981.40±56.81)IU/L, (3 287.40±612.37)IU/L and (4 914.60±746.82)IU/L. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis after treatment with emodin groups were obviously low as compared with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups. The plasma amylase was(1 617.20±136.80)IU/L,(2 323.40±318.19) IU/L and (2 670.20±390.03)IU/L respectively. The study showed that the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokin IL-1β and the expression of IL-6, as well as the expression of IL-1β converting enzyme(ICE) were decreased and IL-10 was increased. Conclusion The study demonstrates that emodin plays an important role in reducing plasma amylase level. Emodin exerts anti-inflammatory effects in acute necrotic pancreatitis rats' lungs by downregulating the mRNA expression of IL-1β and IL-6 and upregulating the mRNA expression of IL-10.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of an alpha(1)-adrenoceptor antagonist, terazosin on the androgen-independent prostate cancer cell lines PC-3 and DU145.
METHODSTwo androgen independent cell lines, PC-3 and DU145, were used to determine cell viability, colony-forming ability, as well as cell cycle distribution, after exposure to terazosin. Western blot analysis was used to determine the expression of p21WAF1 and p27KIP1.
RESULTSThis study shows that terazosin inhibits not only prostate cancer cell growth but also its colony forming ability, both of which are main targets of clinical treatment. In addition, terazosin is shown to inhibit cell growth through G1 phase cell cycle arrest and the up-regulation of p27(KIP1).
CONCLUSIONThis study provides evidence that the alpha(1)-adrenoceptor antagonist terazosin may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of advanced hormone refractory prostate cancer.

The rapidly aging society gives rise to sizable demands for chronic disease nursing care. With IT development as backup, the hospital has developed a platform for regional collaborative nursing informationization within a medical alliance and a health management platform for home care of the elderlies. This practice can build an extended nursing care model, featuring the three main service lines of " hospital-family, hospital-medical alliance and hospital-community hospital-family". The model provides diversified, personalized, disease specific, informationization and multi-disciplinary coverage for nursing care, providing the primary level with high quality nursing resources.Medical alliances and corresponding communities share information, for a full-range, full region and full timeframe coverage of nursing health supervision and scientific guidance, thus effectively minimizing the rate of revisit to upper-level hospitals by patients and implementing the hierarchical medical system.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of dual-tube epidural segmental injection of lidocaine analgesia on the delivery outcome and maternal and infant complications of persistent posterior occipital position postpartum or lateral occipital position postpartum patients with protracted active phase.Methods:The full and single-term primiparas ( n=216, 37 to 42 weeks gestation, 22 to 35 years) diagnosed as persistent posterior or lateral occipital position during the active period were selected from the Department of Obstetrics of Qingdao Municipal Hospital from January 2015 to October 2019. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups: double-tube epidural block group ( n=108) and single-tube epidural block group ( n=108), 1% lidocaine was used for epidural analgesia respectively under ultrasound guidance. Senior midwife or obstetricians implement new partogram, and guide women to perform position management, and push or rotate the fetal head in a timely manner. Observation indicators: general condition, the use of non-pharmacological analgesic measures, analgesia related conditions and pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, delivery-related indicator, cesarean section indication, anesthesia-related indicator, maternal and child complications. Results:(1) General condition: the age, weight, height, gestational age, the ratio of persistent lateral or posterior occipital position, cephalic score, and neonatal birth weight between the two groups of women were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). (2) The use of non-pharmacological analgesic measures: the women’s Lamaze breathing method, Doula delivery companionship, percutaneous electrical stimulation, and other measures between two groups were compared, and there were not significant differences (all P>0.05). (3) Analgesia related conditions and VAS scores of women undergoing vaginal delivery: compared with the single-tube epidural block group ( n=40), the second-partum time of the women in the double-tube epidural block group ( n=59) was significantly shortened [(124±44) vs (86±33) minutes, P<0.01]; after 30 minutes of analgesia (4.4±0.5 vs 0.9±0.5, P<0.01), during forced labor in the second stage of labor (5.7±0.6 vs 1.3±0.4, P<0.01), the VAS scores of pain were also significantly reduced ( P<0.01). (4) Labor-related indicators: compared with the single-tube epidural block group, the natural delivery rate (21.3% vs 49.1%) and the delivery experience satisfaction rate (51.9% vs 98.1%) of women in the double-tube epidural block group were significantly increased (all P<0.01), cesarean section rate (63.0% vs 45.4%), instrument assisted rate (15.7% vs 5.6%) decreased significantly (all P<0.05). (5) Cesarean section indications: compared with the single-tube epidural block group, the cesarean section rate caused by prolonged labor or protracted active phase of women in the double-tube epidural block group was significantly reduced (38.0% vs 22.2%; P<0.05), and the fetal distress, intrauterine infection, and social factors caused by cesarean section between the two groups were compared, while the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05).(6) Anesthesia related indexes: the block planes of the maternal upper tube administration in the double-tube epidural block group were mostly T7, T8, T9-L2 and L3,While,the block planes in the single-tube epidural block group were mostly T10, T11-S1, S2, S3, and the modified Bromage score were all 0. (7) Maternal and child complications: compared with the single-tube epidural block group, the postpartum hemorrhage rate (18.5% vs 7.4%), the perineal lateral cut rate (20.4% vs 5.6%), the neonatal asphyxia rate (12.0% vs 3.7%), ICU rate of transferred neonates (13.9% vs 4.6%) in the double-tube epidural block group were significantly reduced (all P<0.05). Soft birth canal injury rate, puerperal disease rate and neonatal birth rate between two groups were compared, and there were not statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Dual-tube epidural segmental injection of lidocaine analgesia could increase the natural delivery rate of women with posterior occipital or lateral occipital position with active stagnation, reduce the rate of cesarean section and the rate of transvaginal instruments, and reduce the complications of mother and child.
