Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(9):709-712
ObjectiveTo study the optimized security strategy for informing cancer patients with the disease,and let patients be fully informed and even more actively cooperate with doctors while they are under treatment.MethodsGrouped with adversity quotient (AQ) score,these cancer patients were in comparison with those who had been informed by other ways without support strategy,and different groups of patients were estimated in different strategies in accordance with self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS).Results With certain strategies,high and low AQ score groups' SAS and SDS scores stably restored in 1 day to 1 week,and the differences had statistical significance(P < 0.01 ).The patients were well-informed without any difficulty and actively cooperated with treatment.No related factors led to self-mutilation,suicide and other serious incidents.While the SAS and SDS scores of the control group who were not informed by the strategy were not satisfactorily recovered,and the patients could not actively cooperate with the doctors.Especially being notified after 1 d to 1 week,the SAS and SDS scores had no significant improvement,and the differences had no statistical significance compared with themselves ( P > 0.05 ).It is difficult to avoid the occurrence of serious incidents.Conclusion Based on AQ score,it is safe and effective to inform cancer patients of their disease condition by individual strategies.It not only respects patients rights,but also gains the active cooperation of the patients,and is helpful for treatment with minimizing adverse effects.
3.Oxidative stress response in diabetic nephropathy rats following injection of embryonic stem cells via the tail vein
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(14):2199-2204
BACKGROUND:Occurrence and development of diabetic complications is closely related to the severity of oxidative stress imbalance in the body. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of embryonic stem cel s on oxidative stress response of rats with diabetic nephropathy. METHODS:Primarily cultured rat embryonic stem cel s were observed for cel morphology and surface antigen detection. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into experimental group (two injections of embryonic stem cel s via the tail vein), model group (injection of the same volume of PBS), and normal control group (with no modeling, intraperitoneal injection of sodium citrate-citrate buffer). In the former two groups, the rats were intraperitoneal y injected sodium citrate-citrate buffer diluted streptozotocin to establish diabetic nephropathy models before treatment. At 5 weeks after the last injection, blood glucose level, renal function indicators (urine protein/urine creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine) were tested in each group;contents of malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl were detected in the kidney;the expression level of superoxide dismutase was detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The embryonic stem cel s were oval or round, with clear boundary and good refraction, and highly expressed Oct-4 and SSEA-1. Compared with the control group, renal biochemical indicators, malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl contents were significantly increased, while the expression level of superoxide dismutase was decreased dramatical y in the model group and experimental group (P<0.05);compared with the model group, the renal biochemical indicators, malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl contents were dropped significantly in the experimental group, but the expression of superoxide dismutase was significantly rebounded (P<0.05). Taken together, embryonic stem cel s can reverse the occurrence and development of diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting oxidative stress in progress.

Conclusion There were many kinds of complications during TACE operations, and the sufferers could get well and the complications could be effectively reduced if the nurse got along abortively during the whole operation.
10.Advances in pathogenesis research of hypoproteinemia in infectious diseases
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2010;17(4):367-369
Hypoproteinemia is a common clinical complication in many diseases, which could affect the disease prognosis, particularly in critical illness. Low serum albumin level often precludes dangerous conditions and poor prognosis. In the pediatric clinical practice, hypoalbuminemia is commonly seen in acute infection. Therefore, the mechanism of infection-induced hypoalbuminemia should be emphasized, which plays a crucial role in modifying clinical interventions and reducing the mortality rate. But the mechanism of hypoalbuminemia has not yet been fully clarified at present. In this article,the possible mechanism of infectioninduced hypoproteinemia is investigated from the albumin catabolism, synthesis, distribution of abnormalities,half-life, protein-losing enteropathy and so on.
