Objective To discuss changes of anxiety and adverse reaction before and after chemotherapy for patients with breast cancer, giving selective nursing intervention for coping with chemotherapy in order to reduce patients pain and increase life quality. Methods The changes of anxiety level and adverse reaction degree of 50 patients with breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy were investigated with questionnaires before the first, second and third time of chemotherapy. Results The postoperative patients showed significant difference in total score of Rotterdam symptom checklist, score of physiological domain, psychological domain and state anxiety, among which the adverse reactions such as lack of appetite, fatigue, lack of energy, nausea, acid ingestion, sore mouth, hair lost, irritability, depressed mood and tension increased after beginning chemotherapy. Conclusions Nurses should help patients to understand correctly chemotherapy and its possible adverse reaction, teach them correct coping method in order to reduce uncomfortable symptom, promote whole rehabilitation and increase life quality.

Recently,paclitaxel has been used as a new agent on patients with advanced esophageal cancer,and several studies have demonstrated that paclitaxel and paclitaxel-based regimens have significant activity in patients with advanced esophageal cancer and showed highly response rates than the combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) and cisplatin.However,there have been some problems which need to be solved such as drug-resistance,side effect,and so forth.The new medicament form of paclitaxel can not only depress poison without anti-allergy but also raise medicament curative effect as well as the pharmacal concentration.Although most of the research on the new medicament form of paclitaxel are still limited in the stage of laboratory,it has possessed potential advance in the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer.

Objective To investigate the changes of protein C and fibrinolytic system in patients with acute cerebrovasculer disease and the influence of intervened treatments on acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods Determinations of protein C(PC),protein S (PS),thrombomodulin(TM),Tissue-type plasminogen activater(t-PA),plasminogen activator inhabitor(PAI) were performed in patiens with acute cerebrovasculer disease and normal control(NC),then redeterminated these items after treatments in patients with ACI.Results PC,PS:The levels in patients with ACI were significantly lower than that in other groups.After dreatments,the levels in patients with ACI increased.There were no significantly discrepancy in acute cerebral hemorrhage(ACH) and lacunar cerebral infarct(LCI) compared with NC;TM:The levels in patients with ACH,ACI were significantly higher than that with LCI and NC.After dreatments,the levels in patients with ACI decreased;t-PA:The levels in patients with ACI were lower than NC,whereas the levels in patients with ACH increased.After dreatments,the levels in patients with ACI increased;PAI:The levels in patients with ACI were significantly higher than NC,and also found that the levels in patients with ACH and LCH were higher compared with NC.The levels in patients with ACI decreased after dreatments.Conclusions There are obviously abnormalities in plasma coagulative and fibrinlytic parameters in acute cerebrovasculer disease;To check the levels of PC,PS,TM,t-PA,PAI are important to predict the type of stroke,the seriousness of disease,the effect of treatment,prognosis of the cases and suggest that earlier treatments be important.

Objective To study the effect of letrozole (LE) on ovulation in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods One hundred and sixty-four patients with PCOS were divided into LE treatment group (n=68) and chloramiphene (CC) treatment group (n=96).Growth rate of follicles,serum hormone level,endometrial thickness,and cervix mucus were observed before and after treatment.Results The growth rate of follicles was 1.67 and 1.78 mm/d,respectively,in LE and CC treatment groups (P=0.14).The serum T level on the day of LH peak was 2.1?1.9 and 2.0?1.7ng/dL,respectively,in LE and CC treatment groups (P=0.93).The serum testosterone (T) level on day of LH peak and on day 3 of menses was 2.1?1.9 and 1.4?1.5 ng/d,respectively,in LE and CC treatment groups (P=0.09).The serum E2 level on day of LH peak was 89.0?59.5 and 108.1?46.0 pg/ml,respectively,in LE and CC treatment groups (P=0.13).The endometrial thickness was 11.3?1.6 and 9.7?1.4 mm,respectively,in LE and CC treatment groups (P=0.07).The score of cervix mucus was 11.0?1.1 and 8.3?3.1,respectively,in LE and CC treatment groups (P=0.003).Conclusion Letrozole can effectively induce ovulation in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome,and does not increase serum T level.

The effects of monoterpene perilly alcohol (POH) alone or in combination with STI571 on the proliferation and apoptosis of the cell line K562 positive for Bcr/Abl were investigated. By using cell culture, the effect of the drugs on the proliferation of the cells was studied. TUNEL and flow cytometry assay of FITC-Annexin V and PI labeled cells were applied to detect the effects of the drugs on the apoptosis of the cells. The results showed that at 36 h, IC50 of POH on K562 positive for Bcr/Abl and HL-60 negative for Bcr/Abl were 81.0 +/- 11.3 micromol/L and 113.6 +/- 23.4 micromol/L respectively (P>0.05). POH could inhibit the proliferation of K562 in a time- and dose-dependent manner with the inhibitory rate of 100 micromol/L POH on K562 cells at 36 h being (53.2 +/- 3.65)%. K562 cells were more sensitive to STI571 than POH. IC50 of STI571 on K562 cells in 36 h was (0.256 +/- 0.054) micromol/L. In a time- and dose-dependent manner, POH induced the apoptosis of K562 cells with the percentage of apoptotic cells by 100 micromol/L POH at 40 h being (21.0 +/- 3.3)%. Both 100 micromo/L POH and 0.2 micromol/L STI571 had the same inhibitory effects on the K562 cells at 36 h. But at 12 and 24 h, the inhibitory rate of POH was significantly higher than that of STI571 (P<0.05) and the ability of STI571 inducing apoptosis at 36 h was greater than that of POH. 50 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L and 200 micromol/L POH in combination with 0.2 micromol/L STI571 could obviously increase the inhibitory effects on the cellular proliferation. Combined use of 50 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L, 200 micromol/L with 0.2 micromol/L STI571 could strongly induced apoptosis, especially 200 micromol/L POH in combination with 0.2 micromol/L STI571. It was concluded that the antileukemia effect of POH had no obvious Bcr/Abl positive selectivity. POH can inhibit the proliferation of K562 and induce the apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. K562 cells were more sensitive to STI571 than POH. POH in combination with STI571 could obviously enhance the abilities of STI571 inhibiting the proliferation and inducing apoptosis of K562 cells.
