Objective: To improve clinical utility of the Nurses Observation Sca le for Inpatient Evaluation (NOSIE-30) in China. Methods: Based on the original scale, which only provides names and ranked scores for items, we developed clear definitions for each item and anchoring descriptions for score rating. 164 firs t-episode schizophrenic patients were evaluated with this scale every two weeks after admission. A total of 994 evaluations were completed. The collected data w ere randomly divided into two independent data sets. The number and content of t he subscales were revised based on principal component factor analysis and item analysis of the first data set. The revised scale was then evaluated and compare d with the original 7-subscale version of the instrument using the second data s et. Results: Factor analysis found that the factor structu re of the revised scal e was markedly different from that of the original instrument. Item analysis res ulted in elimination of 30 original items and redistribution of the remaining 26 items into 5 subscales. Comparison of the revised scale with the original instr ument revealed better psychometric properties for the former than the latter.Conclusion: The subscale scores of the original 7-subscale v ersion of NOSIE-30 did not reflect independent symptom clusters in Chinese schizophrenic inpatients. T o improve the usefulness of the scale in China, the present study recommended a better revised scale with re-definition of items into 5 subscales.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of elderly patients with cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML). Methods A total of 104 initial CN-AML patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. The clinical characteristics were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Factors affecting complete remission (CR) were analyzed by using chi square test. Univariate and multivariate analyses of prognostic factors were performed by using Kaplan-Meier and Cox hazard regression model respectively. Results After the first chemotherapy, 72 of 104 patients were able to be evaluated the efficacy, the CR rate was 38.9%(28/72) and total response rate was 55.6%(40/72). The white cell count<100 × 109/L and NPM1 mutation were related to a higher CR rate [59.4%(38/64) vs. 12.5%(1/8), 83.3%(10/12) vs. 36.4%(8/22), P<0.05]. Among 104 patients, the median overall survival (OS) was 6.9 months. Univariate analysis results demonstrated that age≥70 years, secondary AML, white cell count≥100×109/L, FLT3-ITD mutation, CD7 expression, achieving CR beyond 2 cycles of induction therapy and CCI score≥2 were influence factors on OS. In multivariable analysis, FLT3-ITD mutation (HR=7.61, 95%CI 1.80-32.11, P= 0.006) and achieving CR beyond 2 cycles of induction therapy (HR= 10.11, 95 % CI 2.38-43.03, P=0.002) were independent prognostic factors for OS in elderly patients with CN-AML. Conclusion The prognosis of elderly patients with CN-AML is the result of the combined effect of many factors, FLT3-ITD mutation and achieving CR beyond 2 cycles of induction therapy are independent prognostic factors in elderly patients with CN-AML.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the antibacterial activity of glycyrrhizic acid (GA) against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) under acidic environment in vitro.
METHODSWorking culture were prepared by inoculation of S. mutans into TPY broth followed by static incubation under anaerobic condition at 37 degrees C for 24 h. TPY broth was supplemented with three kinds density of GA (0.78, 1.57, 3.13 mg x mL(-1)), whose acidity was regulated to pH7.0, pH 5.5 and pH4.0. And the group of pH 7.0 was used as negative control. The growth of S. mutans was measured by A600 of bacteria suspension and counting colony forming unit (CFU). In addition, the survival rate of S. mutans was calculated.
RESULTSIn pH 5.5 groups, the survival rates of 0.78, 1.57 and 3.13 mg x mL(-1) GA groups were 60.96%, 60.27% and 45.58%, respectively, and in pH4.0 groups, the survival rates were 68.75%, 53.12% and 45.83%. In 0.78, 1.57 and 3.13 mg x mL(-1) GA groups, the survival rates of pH5.5 and pH4.0 were 52.25% and 39.05%, 74.39% and 43.11%, 86.38% and 55.30%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONGA could inhibit the growth of S. mutans under acidic environment, which the effect is improved as the acidity increased.

Objective: To assess the clinical significance of changes in levels of serum β2 microglobulin (β2-MG), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after treatment. Methods: A total of 89 patients with DLBCL who were admitted to the hospital between February 2015 an July 2017 were included in the DLBCL group and 40 normal, healthy persons admitted during the same period were selected as the control group. All DLBCL patients underwent standard chemotherapy after admission. Peripheral venous blood was collected before and after chemotherapy to determine any changes in serum β2-MG, VEGF, and LDH levels. Biomarker levels were also compared with those from normal, healthy subjects. The clinical and pathological data of all DLBCL patients were collected and the relationships between changes in biomarker levels, clinical and pathological parameters of DLBCL, and curative effects were analyzed. Results: The levels of serum β2-MG, VEGF, and LDH in the DLBCL group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05) and all levels in DLBCL group decreased after chemotherapy (P<0.05). The effective rate of the R-CHOP group was higher than that of the CHOP group (P<0.05). Serum LDH levels were higher in patients with typical B symptoms than in those without such symptoms (P<0.05). Serum levels of β2-MG, VEGF, and LDH were higher in patients with Ann Arbor stageⅢ-Ⅳlymphoma, with bone marrow involvement, whose international prognostic index (IPI) was high-risk, and with treatment failure than in those with stageⅠ-Ⅱlymphoma, without bone marrow involvement, with low-risk IPI, and with treatment response (P<0.05). The levels of serum VEGF, β2-MG, and LDH were positively correlated with each other, and all three biomarkers were negatively correlated with treatment response (P<0.05). Conclusions: Levels of serum β2-MG, VEGF, and LDH are elevated in patients with DLBCL but are significantly decreased after treatment. Changes in expression levels of these three biomarkers are related to clinical stage, bone marrow involvement, IPI, and treatment response. These biomarkers can be used as a basis for monitoring DLBCL and evaluating curative effect and prognosis.
