Objective To evaluate the applicated value of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) and CR molybdenum target in the diagnosis of breast nodules.Methods Comparative analysis of 87 patients with breast nodules diagnosed by CDUS and CR molybdenum target were contrasted with postoperative pathology.Results 47 cases of 78 patients with breast nodules were benign lesions.39 cases were correctly diagnosed by CR molybdenum target,41 cases were correctly diagnosed by CDUS,and 44 cases were correctly diagnosed by CR molybdenum target and CDUS.Contrasted with postoperative pathology,the accuracy rates of breast disease diagnosed were 82.5％,75.0％ and 95.0％ diagnosed by CR molybdenum target,CDUS,CR molybdenum target and CDUS.Conclusion There is no significant statistical difference between CR molybdenum target and CDUS in the diagnosis of benign breast nodules.The accuracy rate of breast disease diagnosed by CR molybdenum target and CDUS is better than that diagnosed by CR molybdenum target or CDUS only.The two co-diagnosis are benefit to raise the accuracy rate of breast nodules.

4 mm in diameter, re-operations of ESWL were required until no stones were detected. Results All the patients presented a good tolerability to the treatment and left for home by themselves. With exception of 1 case of failed lithotripsy, the ESWL was successfully accomplished in the rest of 17 cases after receiving 3~9 times of treatment. One or two times of hematuria occurred in 66 times of treatment (66/77, 85.7%). A “stone terrace”, 1.9~5.2 cm in length, was found in 5 cases, 4 of which were cured by re-operation of ESWL and 1 of which underwent ureteroscopic removal of stones. Conclusions Low-energy extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a safe and effective option for patients with renal staghorn calculi.

Objective To analyze the influence of peptidimer-c on the gene expression profiling of K562 cells and investigate the mechanism of peptidimer-c inducing the apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation of K562cells.Methods Trypan blue staining technique was performed for counting the number of living K562 cells treated with peptidimer-c.The ultrastructure changes of K562 cells treated with peptidimer-c was observed under transmission electron microscope.The Human U133 Plus 3.0 gene chips were used to detect the differentially expressed genes of K562 cells treated with peptidimer-c.Reverse transcription PCR was conducted to confirm some genes identified by gene chips.Results Peptidimer-c could induce the apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells.Peptidimer-c caused widely changes of the gene expression profiles of K562 cells.The chip data suggested that there were 529 differentially expressed genes,of which 455 genes were up-regulated and 74 genes were down-regulated.The relevant apoptotic genes were down-regulated markedly,including JUN,AXUD1,TNFRSF10B,etc.Fifteen of the differentially expressed genes were detected by RT-PCR,which was consistent with the chip data.Conclusion Peptidimer-c may induce aooptosis of K562 cells by activating the TNF/TNFR family and the JUN family.

Objective In order to provide information for the health administration and the price authorities to establish the reasonable price,the practical cost of special nursing of the chronic wound be analyzed,and be compared with the present charge,and the deviation be studied.Methods The cost of nursing care for all items was measured,recorded and collected,then calculating the special nursing cost for chronic wound using the method of ladder sharing the project cost.Rusults The true cost on a single special care for chronic wound was (29.42±9.29)yuan,and it reached 2.5 times of present charge ( 12 yuan).Conclusions The present charge on the special care for chronic wound was seriously deviated from the practical cost,and the labor value of special care of nurses could not be embodied.

Objective To explore the correlation of anxiety and depression with social support among caregivers of children with mental retardation and major related influencing factors.Methods 64 mothers of children with mental retardation were investigated by using the questionnaires of SAS,SDS and SSRS.The results underwent analysis.Results The incidence of anxiety among mothers of children with mental retardation was 23.4％,the incidence of depression was 40.7％.Mothers had higher scores of SAS and SDS than the national norm.The total score of social support was(32.19±5.02),which was lower than the national norm.The anxiety and depression was negatively correlated with social support.The influencing factors of anxiety and depression of mothers were family income.Conclusions The anxiety and depression among mothers of children with mental retardation was evident,the social supports for those mothers were insufficient.Effective social support was propitious to abate the anxiety and depression and promote quality of life of those children with mental retardation and their mothers.

ObjectiveTo investigate the related factors which influencing endoscopists in the accuracy of diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). Methods With retrospective analysis method,from January to December in 2009,10 765 chronic gastritis cases underwent endoscopy examination in Renji Hospital,school of medicine,Shanghai Jiaotong University were collected.The influence of congestion and exudation,gastric ulcer,bile reflux,gastric polyps and H.pylori infection under endoscopy on CAG endoscopic and pathological diagnosis was analyzed.ResultsThe percentage of histopathological diagnosed CAG was 69.41％,endoscopic diagnosed CAG was 54.27％. The coincidence rate was 62.30％.2575 cases were H.pylori positive (23.92％),the coincidence rate between endoscopic and histopathological diagnosis in H.pylori positivc cascs was 90％.of that of H.pylori negative cases (β=-0.1067,P＜0.05).The coincidence was positively related to age.For each 1 year increase in age,the coincidence rate increased by 0.01 time [OR=exp(0.00855)=1.01]; For each 10-year increase in age,the coincidence rate increased by 0.09 time [OR=exp(0.0855) =1.09].The coincidence rate was negatively related to congestion and exudation.The coincidence rate of CAG between endoscopic and histopathological diagnosis in cases with congestion and exudation was 40％ of that without congestion and exudation (β=-0.1067,P＜0.01).ConclusionCAG diagnosed under endoscopy was somewhat subjective and should be combined with histopathological analysis.The patients' age,H.pylori infection,congestion and exudation may have influence on the coincidence rate between endoscopic and histopathological diagnosis of CAG.

Objective To investigate the effect of folic acid on the DNA methylation of tumorrelated genes promoters in healthy human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC). Methods Ten healthy volunteers were divided into two groups, and were randomized to receive either 5 mg folic acid (n=5)or placebo(n = 5) , one time per day for 3 months. The serum folic acid concentration was detected with chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay kit before and after the intervention. The methylation statuses of five tumor-related genes promoter, including oncogenes c-myc, c-Ha-ras,tumor suppressor genes p16INK4A, E-cadherin and mismatch repair gene hMLH1 in PBMC were detected by bisufite sequencing. Results After folic acid intervention, the level of serum folic acid increased significantly in intervention group (t= -4. 739,P<0. 05) , however no significant difference in control group. After three-month folic acid intervention, the level of methylation of oncogene c-myc promoter increased from 4%, 3. 3%, 4. 1% before intervention, one week after intervention, one month after intervention respectively to 8%(t= -4. 079,P<0. 05), while no significant change in placebo taken group. Before and after the folic acid intervention, there was no significant difference of DNA methylation of other tumor-related genes promoter, including c-Ha-ras、E-cadherin、p16INK4Aand hMLH1. Conclusion Folic acid intervention can up-regulate DNA methylation of oncogene c-myc promoter, but can not affect the promoter methylation status of tumor suppressor genes E-cadherin,p16INK4Aand hMLH1.
