Tumor 2013;33(12):1101-1107
Objective: To study the expressions of p16INK4A, Brn3a, telomerase and human cervical cancer oncogene (HCCR) in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and to estimate their values for predicting the progression of cervical lesions. Methods: Paraffin specimens of 262 cases were all from the residue of patients' liquid-based cytology test (LCT) samples, including 30 normal cases, 80 cases of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), 72 cases of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), 50 cases of high-grade squamous epithelial lesions (HSIL) and 30 cases of invasive squamous cell carcinoma. The expression levels of p16INK4A, Brn3a, telomerase and HCCR in these samples were detected using immunocytochemistry. Results: The expression levels of p16INK4A and Brn3a in ASCUS and LSIL specimens were significantly higher than those in normal cells (P < 0.05). Compared to ASCUS and LSIL, the expression levels of p16INK4A, Brn3a, telomerase and HCCR in HSIL and invasive squamous cell carcinoma were significantly higher (P < 0.05). Among ASCUS, both the expression of p16 INK4A in cases that had pathological diagnosis of CIN1 and the expressions of p16INK4A and Brn3a in cases that had pathological diagnosis of CIN2+ were significantly higher than those had pathological diagnosis of chronic cervicitis or cervical condyloma (P < 0.05). Among LSIL, the expressions of p16INK4A and Brn3a in cases that had pathological diagnosis of CIN2+ were significantly higher than those had pathological diagnosis of chronic cervicitis or cervical condyloma (P < 0.05). Moreover, the expressions of p16INK4A and Brn3a in ASCUS and LSIL had a strong relationship (r = 0.580, P < 0.001). Conclusion: The expression levels of p16INK4A, Brn3a, telomerase and HCCR can help distinguish HSIL and invasive squamous cell carcinoma from ASCUS and LSIL, and combined detection of p16INK4A and Brn3a maybe assist in predicting the progression of ASCUS and LSIL.

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.
