Objective To evaluate the life quality of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after intensity modulated radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Method Using phenomenological research method, we interviewed 10 patients repeatedly to explore their somatization, psychological changes as well as the effect on quality of life. Result The life quality of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after intensity modulated radiotherapy and chemotherapy were affected tremendously , characterized by intense psychological stress, side effects from radiochemotherapy, hunger for emotional support, heavy burden of medical expenses, and the change of family and work roles. Conclusion Nursing staff should understand the mental feelings of patients, and provide supports for the patients psychologically, physically, from the economic, family and social points of view, so as to improve the life quality and physical and mental health of patients.

Objective The experimental evidences that long term colonization of H. pylori results in development of gastric cancer in Mongolian gerbils (MGs) have been reported only by two Japanese groups so far. This study aimed to investigate the carcinogenicity of long term H. pylori infection in MGs model. Methods Thirty six 6 week old outbred MGs (from Inner Mongolia, male∶female=1∶1) were orally inoculated with H.pylori ATCC43504 or H.pylori 161, which was isolated from a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma in our hospital. Another 10 MGs were inoculated with sterilized PBS served as controls. The animals were sacrificed 8, 20, 28 and 84 weeks, respectively, after inoculation for bacteria and histological examination. Results H.pylori was detected in 80%(23/29)of the inoculated MGs and the chronic active gastritis aggravated gradually during the course of experiment. At the 84th week, moderate to severe gastritis, characterized by diffuse infiltration of mononuclear cells and formation of multiple lymphoid follicles in the mucosa and submucosa, and even the lymphocytic epithelial lesions were observed. Atrophy and intestinal metaplasia were less common. The lesions of hyperplasia were dominating in almost all MGs, 24%(4/17)of the animals occurred hyperplastic polyps. Well differentiated gastric adenocarcinomas were developed in 18% (3/17) of the MGs by the end of the 84th week (1 infected with H.pylori 161 and 2 with H.pylori ATCC43504, two of them were female MGs). Conclusions The results reconfirm that H.pylori infection alone can cause gastric adenocarcinoma in MGs. It is suggested that different species of MGs and various strains of H.pylori can be utilized for carcinogenesis research. It is the first report of the development of gastric cancer in female MGs, which might make sense of investigation on the host susceptibility influenced by gender.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of ABCG2 protein in hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Specimens of HCC were collected at The First Aifiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2005 to December 2006. The expression of ABCG2 protein in 165 samples of HCC tissue, 25 samples of normal liver tissue and 40 samples of cirrhotic liver tissue was detected using immunohisto-chemistry. The correlation between the expression of ABCG2 protein and clinicopathological characters was then analyzed. Enumeration data, survival rate and the difference between groups were analyzed with a chi-square test, the Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test, respectively. Results ABCG2 protein expression was weakly posi-tive in all normal and cirrhotic liver tissues. In HCC tissues, the expression of ABCG2 protein was strongly positive in 66 cases and weakly positive in 99 cases. The expression of ABCG2 protein was related to tumor diameter, tumor number, adjacent organ invasion and TNM stages (χ2 =8. 130, 14. 279, 4. 820, 21. 179, P <0. 05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with strongly positive ABCG2 protein had a significantly lower 3-year overall survival (24. 1%) compared with those with weakly positive ABCG2 protein (39. 4%) (χ2 = 15.716, P<0.05). Conclusions The expression level of ABCG2 protein is related to tumor invasiveness, TNM stage and prognosis. ABCG2 has the potential to become a new target for HCC treatment.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, great progress has been achieved in the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of arterial blood vessels of normal human corpses and animals. OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively analyze the tensile mechanical properties of thoracic aorta in normaly fed spontaneously hypertensive rats and salt-loaded spontaneously hypertensive rats. METHODS: Twenty spontaneously hypertensive rats were obtained and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n=10/group). Rats in the experimental group were subjected to continuous salt loading intervention for 16 weeks. Rats in the control group were fed with normal diet and ordinary tap water. At the 16th week, 10 specimens of thoracic aorta of rats from these two groups were harvested to conduct stress relaxation experiments.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The decrease in stress at 7 200 seconds and the decrease in normalized stress relaxation function value at 7 200 seconds of thoracic aortic specimens of rats in experimental group were both lower than those in the control group (P< 0.05). These results confirm that the stress relaxation properties of thoracic aorta of normaly fed and salt-loaded spontaneously hypertensive rats change, wherein the changes in salt-loaded spontaneously hypertensive rats are more obvious.

Objective:To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention program based on the concept of fast track surgery in early enteral nutrition tolerance and rehabilitation in patients with esopha geal cancer.Methods:93 selected patients were divided into the intervention group and the conventional control group according to the admission time.Patients in intervention group were treated with comprehensive intervention,and control group were given routine nursing care.Enteral nutrition intolerance incidence,the first time of bowel sounds,the first time exhaust and defecation and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:36 patients from 47 patients (76.60％) in the intervention group could tolerate the early feeding,while 24 patients from 46 patients (52.17％) in the control group could tolerate.There was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The first time of exhaust,bowel sounds and defecation,and the hospitalization time of patients in the intervention group were better than that in the conventional control group (P ＜ 0.01).Incidence rate of incision infection,pulmonary infection and intestinal obstruction in patients of the comprehensive intervention group was lower than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Compared with the traditional treatment,the comprehensive intervention can effectively reduce the enteral nutrition intolerance incidence,promote the recovery,reduce hospitalization time and the incidence of postoperative complications,and improve the life quality of patients after surgery.
