Objective To investigate whether a stable and reliable hyperuricemia model can be established in mice with an ICR background via a triple-modeling method(combined potassium oxazine,hypoxanthine,and 30%yeast paste),and to evaluate the effect of the positive drug febuxostat on the model.Methods A hyperuricemia model of ICR mice was established using a single drug or double-or triple-drug combinations.Serum uric acid and creatinine concentrations,xanthine oxidase(XOD)and urate oxidase(UOX)activity,and uric acid transporter(URAT)1,glucose transporter(Glut)9,anion transporter(OAT)1,and ATP-binding box subfamily G member(ABCG)2 mRNA levels were detected to evaluate whether the hyperuricemia model was formed successfully.Results The serum uric acid levels of ICR mice were not significantly changed by potassium oxazine alone,as they showed an increase but were not significantly different to those of the 30%yeast paste diet or hypoxanthine combined groups.Serum uric acid levels in the triple administration group were significantly increased at 7 days(P<0.01),while XOD enzyme activity had increased(P<0.01)and UOX enzyme activity decreased(P<0.001)at the same timepoint.There were increased expression levels of URAT1 and Glut9(P<0.05,P<0.001),and decreased expression levels of OAT1 and ABCG2(P<0.001).During dynamic monitoring,the blood uric acid levels of triple administration-induced ICR mice peaked at 7 days.In addition,triple administration-induced hyperuricemia in ICR mice was sensitive to the positive drug febuxostat,which caused a significant decrease in blood uric acid levels(P<0.001).Conclusions A hyperuricemia model in ICR mice can be stably induced by triple administration for 7 days.

Objective:To explore the effects of individualized psychological nursing on improving patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:Totally 96 NHL patients admitted in Huzhou Central Hospital from May 2016 to May 2018 were selected by convenient sampling and divided into the control group and the study group according to the random number table, with 48 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine care, while patients in the study group received individualized psychological nursing according to the patients' psychological characteristics Self-Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Depression Scale (SDS) were used to compare the psychological status between the two groups and investigate their satisfaction with nursing care.Results:After intervention, the SAS score (41.6±5.8) and SDS score (40.9±4.9) of the study group were lower than those of the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=4.849, 6.347; P<0.01) . The study group's satisfaction with nursing care was 97.9%, and that of the control group was 81.3%, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The use of individualized psychological nursing intervention can effectively reduce the anxiety and depression of chemotherapy patients, improve their psychological status, and enhance their recognition of nursing work.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.
