100 ?g/L), 36(2.90%)male and twenty four (2.09%)female. BLLs(G) in Baiyuen (suburb) children(60.33 ?g/L) was the highest among three districts, Yuxiu (downtown) was 58.09 ?g/L and Zengcheng (countryside)was 56.72 ?g/L. Linear regressions (stepwise) were taken with geometric BLLs as dependent, 34 items as independents in SPSS 11.5. Fathers with lower diploma, narrower houses, better aired houses, fewer hand washings and sucking fingers were the risk factors for children high BLLs. Conclusion BLLs in suburb children become the highest after unleaded gasoline used in Guangzhou. The housing circumstance and hygienic behavior of children may effect the blood lead level.

Objective To explore the effect of rational emotive therapy on self-esteem status of breast cancer patients.Methods 118 cases of breast cancer patients were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 59 cases in each group.The control group received routine care,and the observation group received rational emotive therapy on the basis of routine care.The self-esteem status of the two groups of patients was assessed before and after the intervention respectively with State Self-Esteem Scale (SSES).Results The score of behavior self-esteem,social self-esteem,appearance self-esteem and the total score of self-esteem of the patients in two groups before intervention showed no significant difference,but the above scores were higher in the observation group than those in the control group after intervention.Conclusions Rational emotive therapy can improve self-esteem status of breast cancer patients,thereby improve the mental health of the patients.

Objective To explore the application of nursing risk management in the patients with breast cancer during postoperative chemotherapy. Methods Patients with breast cancer during postoperative chemotherapy in our hospital from January to December 2009 were surveyed retrospectively, and analyzed the factors that may cause drug extravasations. Then the appropriate care and risk management measures were implemented by the nursing staff from January to December 2010. Incidence of drug extravasations was compared before and after the implementation of the measures. Results Before the implementation of nursing risk management, the incidence of drug extravasations of the patients with breast cancer of postoperative chemotherapy was 5.77%, the incidence of skin necrosis was 0.64%; after the implementation of nursing risk management,leakage of chemotherapy drugs was 0.59%, no skin necrosis occurs. Conclusions Implementation of nursing risk management can significantly reduce the incidence of chemotherapy drugs leaking in patients with breast cancer during postoperative chemotherapy.

Objective: To observe the level of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA expression in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus in young and senile rats. Methods: POMC mRNA was determined with in situ hybridization, the hybridization signals and areas of POMC mRNA-positive cells were measured with computer image analysis system. Results: Compared with young rats, average gray values of POMC mRNA-positive neurons in the hypothalalmic arcuate nucleus and near region in the senile rats decreased, but the numbers of POMC mRNA-positive neurons did not change significantly. Conclusion: The decrease of POMC mRNA expression level in individual neurons in hypothalamic arcuate nucleus of senile rats is one of the causes that decrease the expression of peptides-derived from POMC gene.

Objective To evaluate the influence of psychological status on the quality of life of patients with breast cancer and supply evidence for improving quality of life for these patients. Methods Patients were divided into two groups according to median score of psychological status(11.43) by life quality inventory.The designed data of the quality of life in different domain were statistically analyzed. Restilts The quality of life of patients with good psychological status was higher than that with poor psychological status (P<0.01). Conclusions Psychological status was the most pivotal factor that influences the quality of life of patients with breast cancer.Selective psychological nursing is expected to improve their quality of life.

Objective To analysis of incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in urban Guangzhou during 2000-2011 and discuss the trends.Methods The incidence and mortality rates were calculated by analyzing data obtained from Guangzhou Cancer Registration Center.Standardized rates were calculated using the Segi's World Standard Population.According to the characters of morbidity and mortality,ages were divided into three groups of 0-64,65-74 and ≥ 75 years.The average annual percentage change (AAPC) were calculated by Jointpoint Regression Program 4.0.4.Results Altogether 3 029 new cases of prostate cancer and 964 related deaths were registered between 2000 and 2011.The AAPC was 10.01% (95% CI:6.00%-14.20%) in crude incidence rate and 8.04% (95% CI:6.20%-9.90%) in crude mortality rate,resulting in a total increase of 287.76% (from 4.82 to 18.69 per 100 000 population) in incidence and 142.90% (from 2.41 to 5.86 per 100000 population) over the 12 years.There was no significant difference in both standardized incidence and mortality change.The AAPC was 11.51% (95% CI:6.00%-17.30%) in 0-64 age incidence rate (resulting in increase of 315.87% and 1.99 per 100,000 population),4.19% (95% CI:0.30%-8.20%) in 65-74 age incidence rate (resulting in increase of 92.72% and 45.82 per 100 000 population) and 2.77% (95%CI:-1.00%-6.70%) in ≥75 age incidence rate (resulting in increase of 42.84% and 63.13 per 100 000 population).The age incidence rate increase was the largest in the ≥ 75 age group,but fastest in the younger group.The age mortality trend was only statistically significant in 0-64 age group,AAPC was 6.25% (95% CI:0.30%-12.60%).Conclusions The incidence and mortality rates of Guangzhou increased in a fast rate.The prevention and control of prostate cancer should be strengthened.

The sequence encoding an E2 main antigen glycoprotein of the C strain of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) was highly expressed in the host cell E. coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL using the pGEX-4T-1 expression vector and the soluble recombinant product was purified with Glutathione Sepharose TM<'4B> by centrifugation. The soluble recombinant protein showed good immune reactions and was confirmed by Western blot using anti-CSFV-specific antibodies. Then an indirect ELISA with the purified E2 protein as the coating antigen was established to detect antibody against CSFV. The result revealed that the optimal concentration of coated antigen was 0.6 μg/well and the optimal dilution of serum was 1:80. The positive cut-off value of this ELISA assay was OD<,tested serum>/OD<,negative serum>≥2.1- The E2-ELISA method was evaluated by comparison with the indirect hemagglutination test (IHAT). When a total of 100 field serum samples were tested the sensitivity and specificity were 90.3% and 94.7% respectively. Specificity analysis showed that there were no cross-reactions between BVD serum and the purified E2 protein in the E2-ELISA.
