Objective To evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in patients undergone intravesical chemotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and analyze the correlation of the quality of life and low urinary tract symptoms in this group of patients.Methods 31 male patients and 15 female patients were enrolled from Jan.2012 to Mar.2013.The average age was 54 (35-71) years.Questionnaires of QoL and core lower urinary tract symptom score (CLSS) were given to 46 patients before intravesical chemotherapy and the 1 st,6th month after starting the instillation.Before the instillation,the scores of QoL and CLSS were 55.7±6.2 and 6.5±2.1,respectively,the change of QoL and CLSS were compared to baseline,and then the correlation of the low urinary tract symptoms and quality of life was analyzed.Results At the end of 1st and 6th month,the QoL scores were 74.7±8.1 and 78.5± 10.6.The CLSS scores were 8.9±2.0 and 9.1 ± 1.8,respectively.The differences were significant (P ＜0.05) when compared to the baselines.The areas of working activity and free time were affected much more than other areas,and the scores increased from 8.3±2.1 and 19.2±5.7 to 14.3±5.6 and 23.7±4.2,respectively.The area of free time was found to be associated with local symptoms (r=0.61).Conclusions Intravesical treatment can impair the QoL of patients.Low urinary tract symptom is an important factor and is associated with impairment of QoL,suggesting the relief of local symptoms may improve the overall quality of life.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the constituents of volatile oil in Artemisia indica from different area of Guangxi, and to compared which with those in Artemisia argyi. METHODS: The volatile oil was extracted from Artemisia indica and Artemisia argyi respectively by steam distillation. The constituents of the volatile oil were identified by GC-MS technology. RESULTS: The yield of the collected volatile oil of Artemisia indica from different area of Guangxi was 0.32%～0.67%, and compared with Artemisia argyi, both were found to contain the following main constituents: eucalyptol, camphor, borneol, germacrene D, caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, terpineol, azulene etc. But the content of the same constituents in Artemisia indica varied with different producing area and there was also difference for a certain constituent of the volatile oil. CONCLUSION: The study results serve as a scientific basis for rational use of Artemisia indica from Guangxi.

BACKGROUND:Colagen hydrogel provides good matrix support for hepatocyte growth and tissue reconstruction, and the colagen-based engineered tissue is easy to merge the growth and form integrated tissue. OBJECTIVE:To improve the thickness of engineered hepatic tissue by dissociating hepatocytes/colagen hydrogel composite into smal hepatic units that accumulate in the subcutaneous cavity. METHODS:Freshly isolated hepatocytes from rats were mixed with colagen hydrogel to establish hepatocytes/colagen hydrogel composite. The hepatocytes/colagen hydrogel composite was dissociated into smal hepatic units after being cured. The undissociated hepatocytes/colagen hydrogel composite was taken as a control. Six Spraque-Dawley rats were enroled. Three of them were subjected to a two-thirds partial hepatectomy to induce liver regeneration. Dissociated and undissociated hepatocytes/colagen hydrogel composites were implanted into the bilateral inguinal subcutaneous cavity. Dissociated and undissociated hepatocytes/colagen hydrogel composites were implanted into the bilateral inguinal subcutaneous cavity of the other three rats. At the 7th day after transplantation, engineered hepatic tissue formation was evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemical staining and India ink perfusion methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The grafts in these two groups al formed vascular engineered hepatic tissue in the subcutaneous cavity, but after the smal hepatic units merged, a large piece of vascular engineered hepatic tissue formed. The hepatic tissue thickness was up to 4 mm. The whole piece of implanted liver grafts only formed smal pieces of hepatic tissues, with only several layers of cels. Immunohistochemistry staining confirmed that the hepatocytes in vascular engineered hepatic tissue had the characteristics and functions of natural hepatocytes. Partial hepatectomy experiment showed that engineered hepatic tissue had the ability to respond to regenerative stimulus of partial hepatectomy. These results show that dissociating the hepatocytes/colagen hydrogel grafts into smal units that accumlate in the subcutaneous cavity can increase the thickness of the engineered hepatic tissue.

Objective To summarize the nursing key points in nursing ovarian cancer patients with early postoperative inflammatory intestinal obstruction after non-surgical treatment value. Method The nursing data of 32 ovarian cancer patients with early postoperative inflammatory intestinal obstruction in our department in January 2010 to October 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results About 32 patients were treated with non-surgical treatment, cure time within 2~30d, averaged (7.80 ±5.98)d. No intestinal obstruction happened after resuming to normal exhaustion, defecation and dieting. Conclusion Such nursing measures as psychological nursing, gastrointestinal decompression nursing, nutrition support nursing and auxiliary therapy like promoting peristalsis recovery are key to the increase of cure rate of early postoperative inflammatory intestinal obstruction.

An automatic urine monitoring system is presented to replace manual operation. The system is composed of the flow sensor, MSP430f149 single chip microcomputer, human-computer interaction module, LCD module, clock module and memory module. The signal of urine volume is captured when the urine flows through the flow sensor and then displayed on the LCD after data processing. The experiment results suggest that the design of the monitor provides a high stability, accurate measurement and good real-time, and meets the demand of the clinical application.

Objective:To study the direct effects of gradient concentration inteiferon-a(IFN-a) on lymphoma cells line Daudi and Jur-kat and a group of 15 cases refractory lymphoma. Methods: The effects of IFN-a on the growth of tumor cells were assayed by MTT, apoptosis were measured by flow cytometty, TUNEL and electron-microscope, 15 refractory lymphoma cases were treated by local injection of IFN-a combination chemotherapy.Results: Low-dose IFN-a did not have any significant effects on growth of Daudi and Jurkat cells, high-dose IFN-a (10 000U/ml) not only have significant anti-proliferative effects with dependence of time and dosage but also can induce apoptosis on both Daudi and Jurkat cells. 5 patients achieved a complete remission and 7 patients achieved a partial remission, the overall response rate was 80% .Conclusion:IFN-a( 10 000 U/ml) had significant anti-proliferative effects and inducing apoptosis on lymphoma cells.Local injection of IFN-a is one of effective therapy on refractory lymphoma.

Methods By using orthogonal experiment design, and setting parameters of granules as determination standards, concrete density, excipient types and dosage, and consentration of wetting agent were optimized to determine the optimal conditions. Results The optimal forming technology was as follows:The optimal ratio of starch to micrite cellulose was 3∶2;the optimal density of extration was 1.20;the ratio of concrete to excipient was 1∶1;the optimal concentration of wetting agent was 80% of ethyl alcohol. Zhuqi Fugan Granule enjoyed good mobility and with a critical relative humidity of 67%. Conclusion Parameters of Zhuqi Fugan Granules prepared by this method are satisfying, with stable properties and low moisture absorbtion. This preparation technology is simple and feasible.
