Objective:To investigate the correlation between mental health and symptom distress in breast cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 110 female breast cancer patients at Shanxi Bethune Hospital from June 2017 to March 2018 were collected. The patients were assessed for symptomatic distress with depression self-rating scale (SDS). Functional assessment of cancer therapy-breast (FACT-B) and the functional assessment of chronic illness therapy-spiritual well-being (FACIT-SP) were used to make the mental assessment. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the effect of symptom distress on the mental health of the patients.Results:The scores of symptom distress, mental health, FACT-B and FACIT-SP were (19.94±5.78), (50.68±10.64), (16.85±4.75), (33.83±8.33), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that mental health score of the patients with symptom distress > 18 scores was reduced by 5.15 points ( P=0.01) compared with the patients with symptom distress≤18 scores. Compared with the patients with annual household income < 50 000 yuan, the mental health score of patients with annual household income of 50 000-79 000 yuan was increased by 9.46 points ( P < 0.01), and the mental health score of patients with annual family income ≥ 80 000 yuan was increased by 5.92 points ( P < 0.01); compared with the patients in phase I, the mental health score of the patients in phaseⅡwas decreased by 2.62 points ( P=0.02), and the mental health score of the patients in phase Ⅲ was decreased by 4.98 points ( P < 0.01). Conclusions:Symptom distress is an independent risk factor for affecting mental health of breast cancer patients. Solving symptom distress of patients can improve mental health status of the patients.

Objective To evaluate whether intraoperative imprint cytology can be used as a diagnostic method of sentinel lymph node metastasis for breast cancer patients in China. Methods A total of 154 breast cancer patients diagnosed histologically as ductal carcinoma in situ or T1-3N0M0 invasive breast cancer who underwent intraoperative sentinel lymph node biopsy from July 2012 to August 2015 in Shanxi Dayi Hospital were enrolled. The sentinel lymph node was detected by using standard dual tracer method. Intraoperative diagnosis was performed with imprint cytology as well as frozen section, and the final diagnosis was assessed by using paraffin pathology after surgery. Results The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) for the diagnosis of sentinel lymph node metastasis by intraoperative frozen section and imprint cytology was 0.854 and 0.755, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy rate of imprint cytology were 52.1 % (25/48), 99.1 % (105/106), 96.2 % (25/26), 82.0 % (105/128), 84.4 % (130/154) respectively, and the corresponding diameters of frozen section were 70.8 % (34/48), 100.0 % (106/106), 100.0 % (34/34), 88.3 % (106/120), 90.9 % (140/154) respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The frozen section result was highly consistent with paraffin pathology, with a Kappa value of 0.7698; while the Kappa value of imprint cytology was 0.5874, which was moderately consistent with paraffin pathology. ConclusionsThere is no significant difference between imprint cytology and frozen section in the intraoperative diagnosis of sentinel lymph node metastasis. The consistency between frozen section and paraffin pathology is high. After standardized operations and professional training, imprint cytology can be considered as a substitute of intraoperative sentinel lymph node diagnosis in breast cancer patients.

Objective To compare the value of central venous pressure (CVP) measured by peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and centrally inserted central catheters (CICC) in elderly patients with severe diseases.Methods Paired design and self-controlled was applied in the research. CVP was measured by 2 different measurement approaches in patients with PICC and CICC simultaneously. The sample size was calculated by the enumeration method through the accuracy estimation of consistency evaluation of quantitative measurement, and the required number was 70.Results Among the 70 collected samples, the mean values of the measured CVP by PICC and CICC were (7.995±3.435) cmH2O and (7.743±3.277) cmH2O; no statistically significant difference was observed (t=1.622,P=0.109). The pearson's linear correlation coefficient of the CVP measured by 2 different measurement approaches was 0.926 (P<0.0001). A linear regression model through the origin of the CVP measured by 2 different measurement approaches was fitted with the linear regression equation of CVPPICC=1.023 CVPCICC (R2=0.978); and the 95%CI of the prediction line contained the reference line. The Bland-Altman plot showed that 64 samples fell within limits of agreement (LoA), LoA was -2.300-2.804, with a consistent rate of 91.43%. All the plots out of the LoA did not exceeded the 95%CI.Conclusions The CVP measured by CICC and PICC exhibit high consistency. Therefore, PICC can be used to replace the CICC in the CVP monitoring.

OBJECTIVE:
Identifying novel strategies to prevent particulate matter (PM)-induced lung injury is crucial for the reduction of the morbidity of chronic respiratory diseases. The combined intervention represented by herbal formulae for simultaneously targeting multiple pathological processes can provide a more beneficial effect than the single intervention. The aim of this paper is therefore to design a safe and effective medicinal and edible Chinese herbs (MECHs) formula against PM-induced lung injury.
METHODS:
PM-induced oxidative stress, inflammatory response and apoptosis A549 cell model were used to screen anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic MECHs, respectively. A network pharmacology method was utilized to rationally design a novel herbal formula. Ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer was utilized to assess the quality control of MECHs formula. The excretion of magnetic iron oxide nanospheres of the MECHs formula was estimated in zebrafish. The MECH formula against PM-induced lung injury was investigated with mice experiments.
RESULTS:
Five selected herbs were rationally designed to form a new MECH formula, including Citri Exocarpium Rubrum (Juhong), Lablab Semen Album (Baibiandou), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu), Mori Folium (Sangye) and Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma (Yuzhu). The formula effectively promoted the magnetic iron oxide nanospheres excretion in zebrafish. The mid/high dose formula significantly prevented PM-induced lung damage in mice by enhancing the activity of SOD and GSH-Px, reducing the MDA and ROS level and attenuating the upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β and TNF-α), down regulating the protein expression of NF-κB, STAT3 and Caspase-3.
CONCLUSION
Our findings suggest that the effective MECHs formula will become a novel strategy for preventing PM-induced lung injury and provide a paradigm for the development of functional foods using MECHs.
