Objective To explore literature published periodicals,the organizations of the first authors,the research direction and the quality about nursing system literature in recent four years.Methods By retrievaling the databases of China Hospital Knowledge (CHKD),VIP Biomedical,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Wanfang,Pubmed and Medline,each database used the same search term and retrieval type (the retrieval type differed by each database grammar),and the retrieval time was limited from Jan,2010 to Dec,2013.Results 75 nursing literature published on 35 journals were obtained,of which 19 journals published only one paper.In terms of quality evaluation,publication bias tested 36,49 forest charts,2 disputing topics,24 with exact P value cycle interpretations,16 used flowcharts,and none of the literature heterogeneity tests used graphical method.By classifying the organizations of the first authors as schools and hospitals,the number of published papers were 38 and 37 separately from 2010 to 2013.Conclusions The nursing systematic literature were always with vast amount and dispersed content,less repetitive content was seen during the literature,The structure was not rigorous,and quality remains to be improved.It should be noted that Meta-analysis study normative has its requirements and more published papers are needed.

Axillary reverse mapping (ARM) is a technique used to map and preserve arm lymphatic drainage during axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and/or sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND). As a result, the risk of arm lymphedema is reduced. ARM is an emerging technology for breast cancer surgery and currently in the clinical trial phase. In this article, related clinical trials conducted in recent years were reviewed and the displaying methods of ARM lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels were analyzed. The feasibility of retained ARM lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels was also evaluated. Furthermore, the clinical significance of ARM was evaluated in terms of the reduction of the incidence of upper extremity lymphedema after breast cancer surgery.

Objective To investigate the effect of PBL combined with EBM applied in the teaching of fever of unknown origin. Methods PBL combined with EBM teaching was applied in fever of unknown origin course for 30 clinical medicine specialty(eight years) students of Tongji class of grade 2009(experiment group), while PBL teaching was applied in fever of unknown origin course for 30 clinical medicine specialty (eight years) students of Tongji class of grade 2008 (control group). After teaching, the theory examination for both basic knowledge and case analysis was organized for all students of both groups. At the same time the questionnaire survey was conducted to 30 students of grade 2009 to evaluate the teaching effect. The results were assessed by using SPSS 18.0 statistical software for the T-test of the experimental group and the control group.Inspection level was α=0.05. Results The theory test score of students in the experimental group was (93.5±3.2) point, signifi-cantly higher than that of the students in the control group(84.7±2.8). There was statistically signifi-cant difference between the scores of the two groups of students (P=0.00). Survey results showed 19 students ( 63 . 33%) thought that the development of PBL teaching combined with evidence-based medicine teaching had its necessity, and 16 students(53.33%) thought that the teaching method im-proved their clinical thinking ability of logical reasoning. Conclusion The concept of PBL combined with EBM has achieved significant resultsinthe teaching offever of unknown origin, and it is necessary to carry out this teaching mode in medical colleges with certain teaching strength.

Objective To determine levels of nuclear factor (NF)-κB, interleukin (IL)-10, and visfatin in adipocytes treated by different degrees of intermittent hypoxia (IH), and to investigate the mechanism of IH leading to insulin resistance (IR). Methods The cell model of intermittent hypoxia/re-oxygenation (IH/ROX) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was established. Differentiation mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes, were randomly divided into 10 groups including four different-frequency intermittent hypoxia groups(IH1-4, fixed intermittent hypoxia scheme for 1.5%O2 45 s and then re-oxygen 21%O2 for 2 min 15 s, 4 min 15 s, 5 min 45 s and 8 min 45 s, 60 times circulation), and their normal oxygen control groups (SC1-4, instead each IH group 1.5%O2 to 21%O2, the rest groups were treated as same as IH group), continuous hypoxia group (CH, 10%O2 for 6 h) and normal oxygen control group (CC, 21%O2 for 6 h). ELISA method was used to determine the levels of IL-10 and visfatin in the supematant of adipocytes. Western blot method was used to determine the protein levels of NF-κB p65 and visfatin. Real-time PCR method was used to determine the mRNA levels of IL-10 and visfatin. Results The protein and mRNA expressions of IL-10 were significantly lower in IH group and CH group than those of control groups (P<0.01). The levels of NF-κB p65 protein were significantly increased in IH group and CH group than those of control group. The protein and mRNA expressions of visfatin were significantly higher in IH1, IH2 and CH groups than those of control group (P<0.01). Conclusion As a prominent feature of OSA pathophysiology, IH may take part in insulin resistance of OSA patients by abnormally secreting NF-κB, IL-10 and visfatin in adipocytes.

OBJECTIVE:To study the inhibitory effects of ampelopsin sodium (AMP-Na) combined with carboplatin on the proliferation of Lewis cell of lung cancer. METHODS:6.25,12.5,25,50 and 100 μg/ml AMP-Na and 3.125,6.25,12.5,25 and 50 μg/ml carboplatin were used to culture the cells for 4 h,and the cell viability was determined and the inhibition rate and half in-hibition concentration(IC50)were calculated. 12.5,25,50 and 100 μg/ml AMP-Na and 12.5 μg/ml carboplatin were used to culture the cells for 12 h,and the flow cytometry was used to determine the expression of Caspase-3. RESULTS:AMP-Na with serial con-centrations combined with carboplatin with serial concentrations had obvious inhibitory effects on the cell proliferation. With the in-crease of mass concentration,the IC50 of carboplatin on the Lewis cells was gradually decreased;when the AMP-Na of 6.25-50μg/ml was combined with carboplatin of 3.125-25 μg/ml,it showed the strongest inhibitory effects on the Lewis cell proliferation. When cells were cultured with AMP-Na and carboplatin for 24 h,the expression of Caspase-3 increased significantly. CONCLU-SIONS:AMP-Na combined with carboplatin has synergistic inhibitory effect on the Lewis cell proliferation by a mechanism that may be related to the apoptosis induced by Caspase-3 activated by AMP-Na.

Conclusions The treatment of mirabilite external application and neostigmine injection at Zusanli acupoint combined with Xuebijing intravenous injection can obviously improve the clinical symptoms, blood coagulation indexes and organ functions, reduce the levels of inflammatory indexes, shorten the time of the length of stay in ICU and elevate the survival rate of patients with severe sepsis.

Objective To investigate the effects of zinc fingers and homeoboxes 3 (ZHX3) silence on expressions of smad3, smad4 and RUNX2 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods ZHX3 low expression vector (ZHX3 silent group) was constructed and was transfected to rat BMSCs. Empty vector was transfected into BMSCs and was used as vehicle control group, and wild type BMSCs was used as the control group. The cell transfection rate was measured under a fluorescence microscope, and then the successful transfection was identified. The immunocytochemistry and immu?noblotting methods were used to detect the expression levels of smad3, smad4 and RUNX2. Results (1) Cells with BMSCs phenotype can be obtained by recovery culturing. (2) After transfection, the green fluorescent protein was found in ZHX3 si?lence group and vehicle control group. Blank control group showed no significant fluorescence. The expression level of ZHX 3 was significantly lower in ZHX3 silence group than that of vehicle control group. (3) Results of immunofluorescence asssay showed that the positive expressions of smad3 and smad4 were located in nucleus and cytoplasm, the positive expression of RUNX2 was mainly located in nucleus. Positive cells were observed in three groups. There was no significant difference in fluorescence intensity between the control group and the vehicle control group, but the fluorescence intensity was significant?ly lower in ZHX3 gene silence group than that of two control groups. (4) There were no significant differences in expressions of smad3, smad4 and RUNX2 betweem control group and the vehicle control group, but they were significantly higher than those of ZHX3 silence group(P < 0.05). Conclusion ZHX3 gene silence can delay vitro osteogenesis of BMSCs, which may play a role by the down-regulated expression levels of smad3, smad4 and RUNX2.

Objective:To evaluate the prognostic value of post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) in patients with axillary lymph node-positive breast cancer treated with breast conservation surgery and to establish the candidates for PMRT based on different pN stages and lymph node ratios (LNR). Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of the patients was conducted. The pa-tients had positive lymph nodes (n=152) between 1998 and 2007 and underwent breast conservation surgery. A comparison of the dis-ease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates was conducted based on LNR and pN staging and with PMRT as a prognostic factor. Results:A total of 152 cases were studied, of which 114 were pN1, 23 were pN2, and 15 were pN3. Among these cases, 114 had an LNR ranging from 0.01 to 0.20, 26 had an LNR from 0.21 to 0.65, and 12 had an LNR>0.65. Univariate analysis showed that the number of dissected lymph nodes, LNR, pN stage, estrogen and progesterone receptor status, and radiotherapy were the prognostic fac-tors for DFS and OS rates (P<0.05). Age and chemotherapy were prognostic factors only for OS rate (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis in-dicated that PMRT and LNR were independent prognostic factors of DFS and OS (P<0.05). The pN staging had no significant effect on DFS or OS (P>0.05). In the subgroup analysis, PMRT had significant effect on DFS and OS (P<0.05) in patients with pN1 and LNR<0.21. Conclusion:LNR is an independent prognostic factor in axillary lymph node-positive breast cancer patients treated with breast conservation surgery, and a candidate for PMRT should be established based on different LNR risks.

Objective To assess the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS)in evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of uterine leiomyoma treated by radiofrequency ablation(RFA)and to discuss the value of its application.Methods Forty-four patients which were diagnosed as uterine leiomyomas by ultrasonic guidance needle puncture biopsy preoperation were examined by CEUS before and one week after RFA treatment respectively,and the patho-results were got again after the surgery.Routine ultrasonography was performed in 1,3,6,12 months after the treatment to compare the volume change of uterine leiomyomas with the change of the clinical symptoms.Results After the treatment,CEUS showed that the contrast agent didn't appear in thirty-five patients'uterine leiomyomas and the nonperfusion regions matched the size of the uterine leiomyomas completely.The contrast agent enhanced on the edge of the uterine leiomyomas in nine,the patho-results confirmed that the nonperfusion regions of the contrast agent were necrosis tissues and the marginal local enhancement regions were incomplete necrosis.Three month after RFA treatment,the uterine leiomyomas began to shrink,which showed obviously in 6 months after the treatment.There were significant differences in the parameters before and after the treatment(P＜0.05).Clinical symptoms improved obviously in thirty-five patients(90%)after the treatment.Conclusions RFA is an effective minimally invasive surgery of the uterine leiomyoma.CEUS can identify the treatment range and the remaining tissues.It has significant value in guiding the supplementary treatment.

Objective:To retrospectively evaluate the prognostic risk factors of T1-2 stage breast cancer patients with one to three positive node(s) and their effects on the benefits of post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT). Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 457 breast cancer patients with T1-2 stage and one to three positive axillary lymph nodes treated in our hospital between 2000 and 2002. The independent prognostic factors of the patients were calculated by the Cox proportional hazards model. The patients were fur-ther classified into high-risk and low-risk subgroups according to the risk factors to explore the benefit of PMRT on the prognosis of dif-ferent subgroups using survival analysis. Results:PMRT was not an independent beneficial factor of overall survival (OS) (HR=0.949;CI:0.435-2.074;P=0.896) or loco-regional recurrent free survival (LRRFS) (HR=0.611;CI:0.231-1.614;P=0.320) in all patients. Ex-tracapsular extension (ECE) and pathological grades were independent prognostic risk factors, and the benefits of PMRT were signifi-cantly different on the prognosis of high-risk subgroup patients (group ECE+OS:P=0.020, LRRFS:P=0.014;group GradeⅢOS:P=0.002, LRRFS:P<0.001). Meanwhile, PMRT failed to prolong the OS and LRRFS of low-risk subgroup patients (group ECE+OS:P=0.353, LRRFS:P=0.796;group GradeⅠtoⅡOS:P=0.267, LRRFS:P=0.589). Conclusion:ECE and gradeⅢwere the independent risk factors of death and loco-regional recurrence in the T1-2 breast cancer patients with one to three positive lymph node(s). PMRT was an effective adjuvant therapy to improve the prognosis of patients with high-risk factors. However, the benefit of PMRT had no sig-nificance in patients with ECE-or gradeⅠ-Ⅱ.
