OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect of patient education on patients with allergic rhinitis (AR).
METHOD:
From January 2009 to December 2013, 100 cases of allergic rhinitis were treated. The patients were randomly divided into experimental group or control group by Stochastic tables law,50 patients in control group accepted only drug treatment, 50 patients in experimental group accepted both drug treatment and patient education. The difference in compliance with treatment, treatment effect, incidence of adverse drug reactions and complications, average costs and times of treatment between two groups were evaluated by the rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) score. The independent sample t-test and χ2 test were used for statistical analysis.
RESULT:
The patients of experimental group showed more positive attitude to treatment compared to the patients of control group (P < 0.01). The average scores of each classification and overall symptoms after treatment in experimental group were lower than those in control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse drug reactions (nose-bleed, dry nose,nasal mucosa ulcer)and complications in patients with AR (asthma, chronic cough, secretory otitis media) in experimental group was lower than that in control group, with statistically differences (P < 0.05). The average times of treatment and costs of diagnosis and treatment(calculation of budesonide nasal spray)in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.01). The total score for RQLQ and the scores of seven dimensions in experimental group were lower than those in control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Patient education can help the patients with AR to cooperate actively with treatment, to reduce the incidence of adverse drug reactions and AR complications, and to save medical costs and improve the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the detection rate of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for iso-echo liver cancers, and to evaluate the application of CEUS in treating iso-echo liver cancers with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Methods A total of 27 patients with liver cancers (31 lesions in total) were enrolled in this study. Of the 27 patients, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was seen in 11 (11 lesions) and hepatic metastasis in 16 (20 lesions). In all patients the diagnosis was detected by contrast-enhanced CT or contrast-enhanced MRI and was clinically confirmed. Under real-time CEUS guidance, RFA was carried out for all the 31 lesions. The ablated extent was evaluated by CEUS, and CEUS findings were used to guide the further treatment. Results All 31 lesions were detected by CEUS and were treated with RFA. No serious complications occurred after RFA. Both CEUS and CECT performed one month after RFA showed that complete tumor necrosis was seen in all the 31 lesions. After RFA the serum AFP levels in all 11 HCC patients fell to normal range, and the serum CEA, CA-199 as well as CA-153 levels in patients with hepatic metastasis decreased significantly(P<0.01). Conclusion CEUS can markedly increase the detection rate of iso-echo liver cancers. Besides, CEUS plays an important role in guiding the performance of RFA for iso - echo liver lesions.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential platinum regimen in young patients with diffuse large B-cell lym-phoma (DLBCL). Methods:Newly diagnosed young patients with DLBCL, who were hospitalized from January 2005 to June 2012 in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University, were selected according to the requirements. The patients were divided into stan-dard and sequential platinum regimen groups. The remission rates were compared usingχ2 test, whereas the five-year survival rates between the two groups were compared using the Kaplan–Meier method. Multivariate survival analysis was performed using the Cox proportional regression. Subgroup analysis was conducted to select candidate patients for the sequential platinum regimen. Results:A total of 331 patients were enrolled in the study, in which 129 were provided with sequential platinum regimen and 202 were provided with the standard regimen. Sequential regimen yielded higher rates of complete remission (80%vs. 63%, P=0.001), five-year progres-sion-free survival (PFS;60%vs. 50%, P=0.014), and overall survival (OS;70%vs. 58%, P=0.016) than the standard regimen. Multivariate analysis revealed that sequential regimen was an independent prognostic factor for PFS (hazard ratio HR=0.635, P=0.012) and OS (HR=0.625, P=0.021). Subgroup analysis showed that patients with good prognosis and patients who did not receive rituximab benefited more from the sequential platinum regimen. Sequential platinum regimen did not increase the occurrence of adverse effects com-pared with the standard regimen. Conclusion:Sequential platinum regimen is a safe treatment that can improve the survival of young patients with DLBCL. Patients with good prognosis and patients who did not receive rituximab can benefit more from the treatment with sequential platinum regimen.
