Objective To investigate the perioperative nursing experience for patients with mayer rokitansky kuster hauser (MRKH).Methods We conducted multidisciplinary care to a MRKH patient,including personalize psychological support,bowel preparation,two surgical nursing convergence and vaginal mold care during hospitalization.Results The patient discharged after clinical symptoms remission,the patient sexual life was satisfaction,no complications were found in the six months follow-up.Conclusion The key of operation success is good coordination and cooperation of multiple departments,close observation and effective nursing in the perioperation period.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy andtolerability of continuous low-dose cyclophosphamide and prednisone treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Methods84 relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma patients were enrolled, including 46 males and 38 females, the assess patients of 81 cases with average age of 69.7 (45-91)years. They were treated continuous with oral cyclophosphamide (50 mg/d) and prednisone (15 mg/d) and monthly follow-up.ResultsAverage follow-up time were 23.5(1-71)months.The assessed patients were 81 cases,with 52 cases (64.2 %) responded.There were 2 cases(2.5 %)CR,21 cases(25.9 %) of PR,29 cases(35.8 %)MR,19 cases(23.5 %)NC and 10 cases (12.3 %)PD.The median time to response was 2 months.In the patients who responded to the treatment,the median progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival (OS) were 18(95 %CI 12.8-23.2),29(95 %CI 24.1-33.9)months.In the non-responding patients,the PFS and OS were 4(95 % CI 2.2-5.8) and 6(95 % CI 4.9-7.1)months.Two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).The most common toxicities included fatigue,nausea, neutropenia, hyperglycemia and lung infection. No patient withdrew from the study because of toxicity. Conclusions Continuous low-dose cyclophosphamide combined prednisone is a treatment options for relapsed and refractory MM patients.

Objective:To study the gene expression of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) in A549 cells exposed to hyperoxia and cell apoptosis after siRNA interference with Nrf2.Method:Normal A549 cell lines were assigned into normoxia+siRNA group, normoxia+control group, hyperoxia+siRNA group and hyperoxia+control group according to whether siRNA interference was used and the exposure environment (normoxia/hyperoxia). The hyperoxia environment contained 95%O 2 and 5%CO 2. The levels of mRNA expression of Nrf2, GST and IL-1β were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Flow cytometry was used to examine cell apoptosis of the hyperoxia+control group and hyperoxia+siRNA group at different time points. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the relative gene expression and apoptosis of A549 cells. Result:(1) Compared with the normoxia+control group, the expression of Nrf2 and GST in the hyperoxia+control group was significantly increased ( P<0.05), and the expression of IL-1β was significantly decreased ( P<0.05); the expression of Nrf2 and GST in the normoxia+siRNA group decreased significantly ( P<0.05), while the expression of IL-1β increased significantly ( P<0.05). (2) Compared with the normoxia+siRNA group, Nrf2 expression in the hyperoxia+siRNA group showed no significant changes ( P=0.230), GST expression increased slightly ( P=0.057), and IL-1β expression decreased slightly ( P=0.112). (3) Compared with the hyperoxia+control group, the expression of Nrf2 and GST in the hyperoxia+siRNA group decreased significantly ( P<0.05), and the expression of IL-1β increased significantly ( P=0.042). (4) Compared with the hyperoxia+control group, the apoptosis of A549 cells in the hyperoxia+siRNA group increased significantly at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h ( P<0.05). Conclusion:After interfering with Nrf2, siRNA may regulate the expression of GST and IL-1β, preventing oxidative stress, reducing inflammatory response and inhibiting apoptosis.
