Objective To investigate the effect of nursing interventions on the quality of life after radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal cancer. Methods 56 patients with nasopharyngeal cancer who received radiotherapy were randomly divided into control group and intervention group. All the patients were given conventional nursing interventions, and those in the intervention group were given accurate evaluation, enhanced psychological guide, reasonable dietary guide, and special nursing for preventing and treating complications. All the patients were evaluated by using quality of life questionnaire core 30 items(QOL-C30). Results The scores of the dimensions of somatic function,psychological function, social function and material life after interventions in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05 ). Conclusion Nursing interventions can improve the quality of life, and the therapy can be completed smoothly.

OBJECTIVE:To study the safety of percutaneous administration of Hongzhi gutong cataplasm. METHODS:Rab-bits were taken for single dose in complete skin irritation test(n=4),single dose in damaged skin irritation test(n=4)and multi-ple doses in complete skin irritation test(n=4). The left and right sides of the skin respectively paste 3 cm×3 cm blank matrix and Hongzhi gutong cataplasm for 24 h(calculated by crude drug of 0.14 g). After removing tape 1,24,48,72 h,the erythema and edema in hair removal site of rabbits in the former 2 tests were observed;after 24 h of administration,the rabbits in the last group were administrated again after exposing the administration area for 1 h,repeated 3 times,the erythema and edema in hair removal site after removing tape the first,second time and 1,24,48,72 h in the third time were respectively observed. RESULTS:In the 3 experiments,the scores of erythema and edema of all rabbits were 0,and skin irritation was evaluated as no irritation. CONCLU-SIONS:Hongzhi gutong cataplasm has no skin irritation in rabbits.

Objective To observe the pathologic changes of corneal lesions in rabbits induced by mustard gas and changes of lymphocytes in the pathologic development so as to discuss the role of lymphocytes in the pathogenic process.Methods Thirty-five New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into experiment group and control group according to the random number table.In experiment group,rabbits were exposed to 0.2 ml of mustard gas liquid (400 μl/L) for a period of 4 minutes and were divided into 6 subgroups at 15 min,2 h,1 w,3 w,4 w,and 8 w after injury.Corneal tissue from each group was collected to detect changes of lymphocytes with aid of HE and immunohistochemical stainings.Results In experiment group,corneal epithelium was dropped totally,basement membrane was exposed,swelling was thickened,matrix layer was loosened and swelled,and collagen fibre was ranged loosely at 15 minutes and two hours ; corneal epithelium appeared multi-layer hyperplastic change in acute restoration period at 1 week; basal corneal epithelium cells appeared irregular column arrangement in chronic inflammation period at 3 and 4 weeks; around 10％ of toxic corneas had delayed reaction with partial corneal epithelium resloughed,fundus membrane appeared,edema thickened,and stroma collagens loosened and swelled at eight weeks.Immunohistochemical Envision staining showed positive expression of plymphomonocytes (CD20,CD45RO,and LCA) inside matrix layer at corneoscleral junction.Conclusions Ocular exposure to 400 μ/L mustard gas for a period of four minutes leads to direct and delayed lesions to cornea,which presents at one week and eight weeks respectively.The lymphocyte-mediated cellular and humoral immunity responses may be involved in the pathogenic process.

Objectiye To study the mechanism by which transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) affects cognitive dysfunction in vascular dementia (VD). Methods Thirty-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group, a VD group, a low frequency rTMS group and a high frequency rTMS group. Two-vessel occlusion was employed to induce VD models. Low frequency rTMS group rats were given 0.5 Hz rTMS for six weeks. High frequency rTMS group rats were given 5 Hz rTMS for six weeks. Morris' water maze test was used to measure their spatial learning ability and memory. The ultrastructures of the synapses in the four groups were detected with transmission electron microscopy. The expression of synaptophysin (SYN), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Nmethyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 ( NMDAR1 ) mRNA and protein in the hippocampus were determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Results The behavior and morphology of the rats treated with rTMS improved. The average expression of SYN, BDNF and NMDAR1 mRNA and protein in the low frequency rTMS group and the high frequency rTMS group were significantly higher than in the VD group. Conclusion rTMS can provide a rehabilitative effect for VD. The mechanism might be associated with enhancing the expression of SYN, BDNF and NMDAR1 in the hippocampus.

Objective To suty the MRI manifestations of juvenile acute articular cartilage injury of the knee joint.Methods MRI findings of cartilage,subcartilage low signal line and subcarilage bone were analysed retrospectively in 53 juvenile patients (ranged in age from 4~27 years) with acute articular cartilage injury confirmed by arthroscopy.Results Sixty-nine cartilage injuries were showed by MRI in 53 patients,including patellas in 25,femoral lateral condyles in 22,femoral medial condyles in 11,trochlea of the femur in 2,and tibial plateau in 9.Acute articular cartilage injury appeared as pure cartilage fracture in 46, including complete split of the cartilage in 22 sites,partly split of the cartilage in 20 sites,and fissur-like fracture in 4 sites.Osteochondral fracture were observed in 23 sites,including avulsion fracture in 13 and osteochondral subsided in 10.Articular cartilage loose bodies and osteochondral loose bodies were found by MRI in 6 and 13,respectively.Conclusion MRI is the best non-invasive method for studying cartilage injury.

Objective To evaluate the association between bradycardia and neurological sequel in patients with restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during targeted body temperature management (TTM).Methods Forty-three unconscious patients with ROSC after CPR were treated with TTP.The patients were cooled with therapeutic hypothermia to body temperature target range (32-34°C) after cardiac arrest and divided into bradycardia and control groups depending on the lowest heart rate less than 50 beats/min and more than or equal to 50 beats/min respcetively at that time.The bispectral index (BIS) and the neuron-specific enolase (NSE) values were respectively recorded at the following intervals,0h (h0)、24h (h24)、48h (h48)、72h (h72) after ICU admission.Neurological outcome was defined according to the Pittsburgh cerebral performance category (CPC) at 3 months after ICU discharge.Results Compared with the control group,during TTM the bispectral index levels were significantly higher in the bradycardia group at h0,h48,h72 after admission,(h0 bradycardia group 73.0 ± 12.3;control group 58.0 ± 18.6,P ＜0.01)、(h48 bradycardia group 71.4 ± 21.2;control group 46.3 ± 18.9,P ＜ 0.01)、(h72 bradycardia group 78.6 ± 24.6;control group 51.8 ± 24.1,P =0.01).The neuron-specific enolase level in bradycardia group was significantly lower than that in control group on day3 (118.8 ± 118.8 ng/mL vs.248.3 ± 191.9 ng/mL,P =0.02).The level of CPC in the bradycardia group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P =0.046).Conclusions Patients with bradycardia during TTM had favorable neurological outcome,which could provide evidence for clinical treatment and prognostic evaluation of the patients.

Objective To investigate current status and problems of coagulation factor Ⅷ and Ⅸ assay in domestic laboratories so as to provide the reference for implementing the standardization and quality improvement.Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out in 76 laboratories,and quality control materials were distributed to 54 laboratories for activity assay.The questionnaire information was analyzed statistically.Test results of quality control materials were classified into three groups according to the reagents and the ranked grading analysis were used to evaluate the performance.Results This research was investigative study.The amount of sample was less than 30 per month in 72％ (52/72)of laboratories.The frequencies of calibration were different,and 33％ (24/72) of laboratories did not perform calibration in a different assay batch.39％ (28/72)of laboratories did not run internal quality control,and about 21％ (15/ 72) of laboratories just performed the normal level quality control.Individual laboratories showed a high cumulative CV (＞ 30％) of intemal quality control.For normal FⅧ and FⅨ control materials,the CV of results were 11.3％-18.2％ and 11.3％-17.9％ respectively as well as 15.3％-20.3％ and 19.5％-21％ for abnormal.Of the three groups,the proportions of laboratories which the FⅧ test results out with consensus were18％,24％ and 22％ as well as 20％,24％ and 28％ for FⅨ.Conclusions The key requirements for quality control of coagulation factors active assay remain to be addressed and implemented.The repeatability and comparability in some laboratories are not satisfactory to meet the clinical needs.With the purpose of promoting quality improvement,we need to develop guidelines,organize related training and establish a national external quality assessment scheme.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the remnants of extrahepatic bilie duct with the prognosis of biliary atresia after Kasai operation.Methods From Sep.2005 to Sep.2011,93 cases of biliary atresia [51 boys and 42 girls,ages at operation:61 days(40-121 days)] in Tongji Hospital Affiliated of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology were operated with Kasai procedure,and the diagnosis of type Ⅲ biliary atresia was based on the cholangiography and the intraoperative findings.According to whether there was fibrotic remnant plates of porta hepatis or not,type Ⅲ biliary atresia cases were grouped into 2 subtypes:subtype A,in which there was fibrotic remnant plates of porta hepatis (n =80) ; subtype B,in which there was no fibrotic remnant plates,but solid cords structure like hepatic duct was observed(n =13).Specimens of the remnants were colleted in operation and pathologic section detected the degree of bile ductular proliferation in the remnants.Postoperatively,all of the patients were followed up.The contents included the cholangitis occurrence rate,the jaundice disappearance rate and survival rate during postoperative 2 years.Results The patients had more bile ductular proliferation in subtype A (x2 =18.49,P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference in incidence of cholangitis in postoperative 1 month between the 2 groups (x2 =0.01,P ＞ 0.05).The jaundice disappearance rate in postoperative 6 months of subtype A was higher than the rate of subtype B(x2 =9.19,P ＜ 0.05).The survival rate during postoperative 2 years of subtype A was higher than the rate of subtype B(x2 =4.49,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There are higher jaundice disappearance rate and 2 years survival rate in type Ⅲ biliary atresia with the fibrotic remnant plates of porta hepatis,which suggest that there is more bile ductular proliferation in the extrahepatic remnants which is good for biliary drainage in subtype A after Kasai operation,and it can slow down hepatic injury and have a long-term good life quality.

AIM:To understand the effects and approach the mechanisms of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)and cystoskeleton actin on the permeability increasing of blood-brain barrier(BBB)model which was induced by hypoxia/ischemia status in vitro.METHODS:The BBB model was build by the co-culture of cell ECV304 and astrocytes in vitro,then divided randomly into control group,hypoxia/ischemia group and BB-1101 pretreatment group.The permeability of BBB was determined by [125I]-BSA.The expression and the disposition of actin were detected by direct-immunofluorescence and Western blotting.BB-1101,the MMPs inhibitor,was used to investigate if MMP-9 participate the process of the increasing of BBB models' permeability in hypoxia/ischemia status.RESULTS:Post-stimulation of hypoxia/ischemia for 5 h,the permeability of [125I]-BSA and amount expression of MMP-9 in hypoxia-ischemia group was increased compared with control group(P

[Summary] A total of 352 pregnant women were selected in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. Serum levels of TSH and FT4 were determined and pregnancy outcome were observed in all subjects. According to the standard of American Thyroid Association(ATA) published in 2011 and the Chinese Guideline of Gestation Thyroid Disease published in 2012, the subjects were grouped into control(0. 1≤TSH≤2. 5 mIU/ L), observation(2. 55. 17 mIU/ L)during first-trimester(T1)and control(0. 2≤TSH≤3. 0 mIU/ L), observation(3. 05. 22 mIU/ L) during second-trimester(T2). The results showed that the rupture of membranes, preterm labor, and total obstetrical adverse events in the observation group were significantly higher than those in control group during T1(all P<0. 05), no statistical significance between control group and treatment group. The rupture of membrances in the observation group was significantly higher compared with control group during T2 ( P < 0. 05), no significant difference in other adverse pregnancy outcomes between these two groups. Compared with control group during T1, the proportion of adverse pregnancy outcomes in observation group during T1 was significantly increased(P<0. 05). The elevated TSH is one of the risk factors for the increased incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes at the first half of pregnancy, especially during T1. L-T4 treatment reduces the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
