Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2011;34(19):16-18
Objective To explore the efficacy, safety,time of drug taking effect and therapeutic dosage of sertraline in treatment of child emotional disorder. Method One hundred and forty-seven patientswith child emotional disorder were treated by sertraline and the efficacy rate, therapeutic dosage, the time of drug taking effect and adverse reaction was analyzed retrospectively. Results One hundred and thirty-seven patients were regular visited under supervision of a physician. Two months after treatment, the efficacy rate was 80.3%(110/137) and the rate of adverse reaction was 5.8%(8/137). The therapeutic dosage of sertraline was (47.9 + 19.0) mg/d. The time of drug taking effect was (20.4±13.2) d. The therapeutic dosage of sertraline in obsessive-compulsive disorder [(58.7±26.2) mg/d] was significantly higher than that in depression[(43.6±14.0) mg/d],anxiety disorder[(44.4±10.6) mg/d] and phobia[(43.5±15.5) mg/d](P < 0.01 ). The time of drug taking effect in depression[( 14.0±6.1 ) d] was significantly shorter than that in obsessive-compulsive disorder[(26.6±16.3) d,anxiety disorder [(22.3±13.9) d] and phobia [(21.4±12.8) d] (P <0.01). Conclusions Sertraline is an efficient and safe medicine in treatment of child emotional disorder. Its adverse reaction is slight and most patients can tolerate. But it takes higher therapeutic dosage in obsessive-compulsive disorder and the time of drug taking effect is earlier in depression than in other disorder.

Objective To investigate whether the bilateral nipple discharge with the background of hypothyroidism and pituitary tumor causes intraductal neoplasm. Methods Clinical data of 222 bilateral nipple discharge patients with hypothyroidism or pituitary tumor undergoing mammary ductoseopy (MDS) examination were analyzed. Those diagnosed as intraductal papilloma received surgery and pathological exam. 158 cases with inflammatory comedomastitis diagnosed by MDS received milk duct washing with gentamycin, dexamethasone and corresponding medical treatment. Results Among the 222 cases, 158 cases(71.17%) were diagnosed as inflammatory comedomastitis by MDS, 64 cases (28.83%) were diagnosed as intraduetal papilloma (64/222) by MDS and received operation,59 cases were pathologically diagnosed as intraductal papilloma,the other 5 cases were pathologically diagnosed as mammary duct ectasia. The pathological coincidence was 92.2% and no breast cancer was observed. 68.10% of inflammatory comedomastitis cases suffered from breast pain. There were no significant difference in the disease distribution of the ethnic groups. During pre-menopause period, the incidence of period neoplasia is higher in pituitary tumor than hypothyroidism; However, during the post-menopause the situation was vice versa. The color of niplle discharge is mostly milk-like in patients with pituitary tumor, while serous in patients with hypothyroidism. 71.19% of duct papilloma locate at the branch of the main duct. Conclusion The bilateral nipple discharge with hypothyroidism or pituitary are usually concomitant with intraduetal lesions. Mammary ductosopy is helpful to discover intraduetal neoplasia.

Objective:To study the correlation of C(-938)A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter of anti-apoptosis gene Bcl-2 with the clinical biological parameters of breast cancer patients in Hebei Province. Methods:Three genotypes(AA, AC, CC) of Bcl-2 C(-938)A from 113 samples of breast cancer patients were analyzed by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method, and the results were associated with clinical biological parameters. The distribution of genotype frequency was compared between different groups. Results:When stratified for axillary lymph node metastases, the frequency of AA genotype were 26.8%, 47.8% and 52.6% and the distribution of AC+CC genotypes were 73.2%, 52.2% and 47.4% in negative group, 1-3 metastasis group, and ≥4 metastasis group. The difference between the two groups was significant (χ~2=6.337, P=0.042). Compared with the AC+CC genotypes, the OR value of AA genotype in ≥4 metastasis group was 3.041 (95%CI=1.072-8.626). The frequency of AA genotype were 30.9% and 69.1% in gradeⅠ-Ⅱ group and grade Ⅲ group, and the frequency of AC+CC genotypes were 57.9% and 42.1%. The difference between the two groups was significant (χ~2=5.055; P=0.025). Compared with the AC+CC genotypes, the OR value of AA genotype in differentiated tumors(grade Ⅲ)was 3.082 (95%CI=1.122-8.465). Stratified for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and C-erbB2, there was no difference between the distribution of AA genotype and AC+CC genotypes (χ~2=3.005, χ~2=1.504, χ~2=1.163, P>0.05). Conclusion:The AA genotype of Bcl-2 gene C(-938)A maybe correlated with high lymph node metastasis rate and poor differentiation.

Objective: To provide an efficeut protocol for constructing recombinant adenovirus, an in vitro ligation was used instead of homologous recombination. Methods: Gene BMP-2 was ligated into pShuttle 2 vector ( pShuttle 2-BMP-2 ) and then fragment containing BMP-2 gene and promoter pcmvie excised by PI-SCe Ⅰ and Ⅰ-Ceu Ⅰ endonuclease. The fragment was further combined with adenovirus vector (Adeno-X-BMP-2) , which was finally linearized with Pac Ⅰ and trans-fered to HEK293 to package adenovirus particles. Results: Both PCR assay and restiction analysis showed that the recombined rectors pShuttle2-BMP-2 and Adeno-X-BMP-2 contains the target BMP-2 gene. THe packaged adenovirus was also i-dentified by PCR assay with specific primers for BMP-2. Conclusions: The BMP-2 incorporated recombinant adenovirus was obtained and this laid a foundation for further study on BMP-2 mediated gene therapy. The in vitro ligation method de-scinbed here for constructing recombined adenovirus was more efficient than traditional homologous recombination.

Objective To deeply understand the risk factors of lymphedema for patients with breast cancer after surgery. Methods The phenomenological method was applied in this study. Semi-structured interview was used to collected data from 9 female breast cancer patients with lymphedema after surgery in our hospital from June to September 2016 for generic analysis. Results The risk factors of lymphedema could be categorized into four themes:(1)choice of treatment is the primary cause:axillary lymph node dissection; radiotherapy; chemotherapy; (2)not paying enough attention to lymphedema:lacking the knowledge of lymphedema; imbalance of physical activities for the affected limb; lacking awareness of exercise and protection of the affected limb. Conclusions Axillary lymph node dissection after radical surgery for patients with breast cancer is the primary cause of lymphedema, and paying not enough attention is an important factor, especially lacking the consciousness of prevention, so the nurses should emphasize education about prevention of lymphedema after surgery for patients, to improve the consciousness of them to reduce the occurrence of lymphedema and its influence on their quality of life.
