Objective: This study aimed to detect the expression levels of the key proteins involved in the insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway of patients with ovarian cancer. These proteins include insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1), insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R), and protein kinase B (AKT). Methods: Ovarian cancer tissues were subjected to drug resistance tests using the ATP-TCA method. IGF1, IGF1R, AKT, and multidrug resistance protein2 (MRP2) expressions were detected in the sera of patients with ovarian cancer by conducting enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. IGF1, IGF1R, and AKT protein expressions were detected in the surgical specimens by immunohistochemistry. Patients were instructed to monitor their cancer antigen 125 (CA125) levels monthly from the date a patient was discharged to the last day of chemotherapy (or until chemotherapy was completed). A color Doppler ultrasound, CT, or MRI scan was required if CA125 value is abnormal. The total follow-up time was one year. Results: IGF1, IGF1R, and AKT expressions were significantly higher in the cisplatin-resistant group than in the cisplatin-sensitive group (P =0.000 1). Immunohistochemical results showed that IGF1, IGF1R, and AKT expressions were significantly higher in the cisplatin-resistant group than in the cisplatin-sensitive group (P<0.05). The monthly CA125 values of 40 patients were obtained after chemotherapy. In the cisplatin-sensitive group, 18 of the 24 cases exhibited normal CA125 values for more than one year, and the remaining 6 cases maintained normal values for more than half a year. In the cisplatin-resistant group, 16 cases revealed higher than normal CA125 values for half a year after chemotherapy. Recurrent lesions were observed in their color Doppler ultrasound results or MRI scans. Conclusion: Cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer is strongly correlated with the expressions of IGF1, IGF1R and AKT. IGF1 is a potential candidate for the targeted therapy of ovarian cancer.

Objective To discuss the application effect of peer support education in improving theself-management ability of old patients with diabetes. Methods A total of 160 cases of old patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated and hospitalized from June 2014 to August 2015 were selected, then equally divided into observation group and control group through using random number method.Finally, 76 cases were studiedin observation group, while 75 cases in control group. The health education guidance of conventional diabetes had been used in two groups for six months, and the peer support education was also conducted for the patients in observation group on the basis of conventional education. The self-management ability, insulin standard injection knowledge-belief and attitude-behavior/practice (KAP) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) value of old patients with diabetes were observed before intervention, 3 months and 6 months later, respectively. Also,the hypoglycemia frequency in two groups was compared during intervention. Results After three months of intervention, the score of diet, exercise management, glucose monitoring, foot care, pharmaceutical administration and smoke for self-management ability in observation group was 4.63 ± 0.92, 4.18 ± 0.97, 2.86 ± 0.96, 2.35 ± 0.59, 4.01 ± 1.43 and 0.62 ± 0.29, respectively, while that of these indicators in control group was 3.69 ± 0.83, 3.52 ± 0.67, 1.75 ± 0.67, 1.63 ± 0.72, 3.05 ± 1.39 and 0.59 ± 0.38. Except smoke (P > 0.05), the differences between two groups were statistically significant (t=2.987-5.965, P < 0.05). After six months of intervention, the score of diet, exercise management, glucose monitoring, foot care, pharmaceutical administration and smoke for self-management ability in observation group was 5.86±0.93, 5.37±0.61, 3.97±0.94, 5.06±0.92, 5.81±0.73 and 0.89 ± 0.31, respectively, while that of these indicators in control group was 3.68 ± 0.96, 3.65 ± 0.95, 1.86 ± 0.88, 2.65±0.88, 3.21±1.13 and 0.81±0.39. The difference was statistically significant (t=9.336-15.633, P<0.01), except smoke (P>0.05). Then, the insulin was normally injected in observation group after six months of intervention, the score of knowledge, attitude and behavior was 5.63 ± 1.87, 43.17 ± 6.03 and 16.57 ± 1.59, while that in control group was 3.76 ± 0.83, 23.71 ± 0.59 and 10.16 ± 0.95. The differences between two groups were statistically significant (t= 8.569, 15.623, 6.751, P<0.01). Also, the level of glycosylated hemoglobin was decreased from (8.17 ± 0.32) % to (7.16 ± 0.41) %, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-3.560, P=0.000). Conclusions Peer support education couldenhance the self-management consciousness of old patients with diabetes, standardize the insulin injection, improve the ability of self-management and improve glucose metabolism index so that it is worthy of being clinically popularized and applied.

Objective To explore the application effect of interactive health education in insulin injections of aged patients with type 2 diabetes in the incipient stage of diagnosis and treatment. Methods 100 cases of aged patients with type 2 diabetes were hospitalized into endocrinology department from January 2014 to December 2014, the pen insulin injections were conducted for them at the beginning. They were equally divided into experimental group and control group through random number method. And, the general education guidance was conducted in control group. Meanwhile, the diabetes health education team was established in observation group on the basis of control group. Then, it was educated through the interactive lectures, interviews, teaching, repeated teaching, psychological intervention and individual assessment. Before and after education, the KAP survey of standard insulin injections were used for the patients in two groups to evaluate their degree of proficiency in the knowledge and skills about insulin injections, and the incidence of glucose metabolism level and low blood sugar. Results After intervention, the insulin injection skill in observation group was better than that of in the control group, (64.6%,31/48 vs. 24.5%, 12/149,χ2=16.441, P<0.01), while the level of glycosylated hemoglobin was reduced from (7.95±0.65)%to (6.58±0.62)%(t=7.85, P<0.01). Conclusions In the incipient stage of diagnosis and treatment, the ability of aged patients with type 2 diabetes in learning new knowledge and technology was improved through interactive health education mode. Besides, the insulin injections were standardized. Also, the glucose metabolism was improved, and the incidence of hypoglycemia was significantly reduced to ensure the patients′safety when the insulin was injected outside hospital, which was worth being clinically applied and promoted.
