DNA repair processes play a role in the development of drug resistance which represents a huge obstacle to leukemia chemotherapy. Histone H2AX phosphorylation (ser139) (γH2AX) occurs rapidly at the onset of DNA double strand break (DSB) and is critical to the regulation of DSB repair. If DNA repair is successful, cells exposed to anti-neoplastic drugs will keep entering the cycle and develop resistance to the drugs. In this study, we investigated whether γH2AX can be used as an indicator of tumor chemosensitivity and a potential target for enhancing chemotherapy. K562 and multi-drug resistant cell line K562/A02 were exposed to adriamycin (ADR) and γH2AX formed. Flow cytometry revealed that percentage of cells expressing γH2AX was increased in a dose-dependent manner and the percentage of K562/A02 cells was lower than that of K562 cells when treated with the same concentration of ADR. In order to test the potential of γH2AX to reverse drug resistance, K562/A02 cells were treated with PI3K inhibitor LY294002. It was found that LY249002 decreased ADR-induced γH2AX expression and increased the sensitivity of K562/A02 cells to ADR. Additionally, the single-cell gel electrophoresis assay and the Western blotting showed that LY249002 enhanced DSBs and decreased the expression of repair factor BRCA1. These results illustrate chemosensitivity can partly be measured by detecting γH2AX and drug resistance can be reversed by inhibiting γH2AX.

Objective To understand psychiatry hospital nurse' s self-compassion situation, explore the influencing factors, for nursing managers to know about the clinical nurses psychological health and to provide a reference data of intervention to improve the level of self-compassion. Methods A total of 381 clinical nurses from the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (Guangzhou Huiai Hospital) completed the survey using the questionnaire including the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and general information questionnaire. The influence factors were analyzed by chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis. Results The total score of SCS was (85.43 ± 10.23) points in 381 clinical nurses with the medium level, which was less than that of other nurse group (109.21±9.76) points, and there was significant difference(t=-45.388, P < 0.01).The Logistic regression analysis showed that female and working in the psychiatric ward were the risk factors of self compassion(OR=1.772, 1.995, P<0.05 or 0.01). While on the night shift was the protective factor(OR=0.536, P < 0.01). Conclusions Psychiatric hospital nurse' s self-compassion is at medium level. When the nurses cope with the negative events may lack adjustment method. Nursing managers should pay attention to train the ability of the nurse individual self-compassion, targeted to carry out active intervention measures.

Objective To discuss the value of intrapartum operation in management of birth defects and the prognosis. Methods From August 2008 to November 2009, 11 fetuses were identified with birth defects through 3D color Doppler ultrasound and confirmed by MRI and fetal karyotype in the Maternal Fetal Medicine Center, Affiliated Shengjing Hospital, China Medical University including three lymphangiomas,two congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH), one sacrococcygeal teratoma, three omphalocele and two gastroschisi. All the above identified birth defects were indications for surgery. All fetuses were born abdominally and received intrapartum operations, including three intrapartum fetal operations with placental infusion (two repairs of CDH, one sacrococcygeal teratoma resection), six ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT; two repairs of omphalocele, two repairs of gastroschisi, two lymphangioma resection) and two surgeries in house (one omphalocele repair and one lymphangioma resection). Both the mothers and fetuses were regularly followed up. Results ( 1 ) Operations: the average operating time for the three intrapartum fetal operations was 89 minites, 5.5 minites for the six EXIT, during which EXIT was performed first,followed by blocking the umbilical circulation and neonatal surgery, and 37 minites for the two surgeries in house. All neonates survived except for one death from severe CDH at 3.5 hours after the operation. The average blood loss for cesarean section and fetal operation was 275 ml. All mothers recovered soon without fever or infection and were discharged three to five days after the operation. (2) Follow-ups: the ten survived neonates were followed up at 1 - 18 mouths at the pediatric clinics and all were growing and developing normally except for one baby with gastroschisi suffered from enteral torsion and feeding intolerance showed lower weight than babies at the same age, but catched up to normal at four months old after posture therapy. One baby with mild CDH developed pulmonary infection at two months after operation with 1/4 pneumothorax on chest X-ray, and were hospitalized for two weeks. At six months old, patent ductus arteriosus was diagnosed in the same baby and chest X-ray was normal. The baby with omphalocele was complicated with ventricular septal defect before operation and the cardiac function was normal during followups for one year. The baby with sacrococcygeal teratoma was reported to have no automatic micturition, but recovered to normal at one month of age. Conclusion Babies with certain birth defects can be managed through intrapartum operation with better outcomes.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the prognosis of sudden deafness patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
METHOD:
The clinical data of 24 sudden deafness patients with BPPV was analyzed. The outcome of 125 sudden deafness patients without BPPV at the same time was compared.
RESULT:
Hearing improvement after three months treatment was 41.67% and 72.80% in sudden deafness patients with BPPV and sudden deafness patients without BPPV, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The prognosis of hearing in sudden deafness patients with BPPV is worse than that in sudden deafness patients without BPPV. BPPV may predict a poor hearing outcome in sudden deafness.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the efficacy of intratympanic dexamethasone injection for the moderate and severe sudden deafness with BPPV.
METHOD:
A total of 63 patients diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss with BPPV were treated through OPD. Patients were divided into three groups: 20 cases in intratympanic dexamethasone injection as initial treatment (group A); 18 cases in systemic hormone therapy group (group B); 25 cases in intratympanic dexamethasone injection as salvage treatment (group C). In addition, routine drugs were used to all patients.
RESULT:
The overall effective rate of group A, B and C in hearing recovery was 60.0%, 38.9% and 48.0%, respectively: (1) No significant difference of hearing recovery was observed among three groups (P > 0.05); (2) A significant difference of hearing recovery was evidenced between group A and C (P < 0.05); (3) A significant difference of hearing recovery was evidenced between group A and C (P < 0.05); (4) No statistically significant difference was found in the hearing recovery between group B and C (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Our data showed that intratympanic dexamethasone should be used as initial therapy for treating the moderate and severe sudden deafness with BPPV.

Objective To investigate the feasibility,security,indication and prophylactic measures of postpartum hemorrhage during the fetalintrapartum operation by analyze the maternal prognosis after intrapartum fetal operation(IFO) performed.Methods We performed a retrospective evaluation of 10 cases that has been performed intrapartum fetal operation(IFO group,n=10) successfully between August 2008 and October 2009 at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,Shengjing Hospital,China Medical University.Healthy pregnant women(n=10) were chosen as control group,who received Caesarean section for refusing to vaginal delivery.Between the two groups,we compared the indexes including blood lose during the operation and 24 hours post-operation,the hemoglobin level pre-operation and 24 hours post-operation,the involution of uterus,the puerperal infection,and the follow-up at 42 days post-operation.Results Good involution,no primary and secondary postpartum hemorrhage and no puerperal infection were found in both of the 2 groups.Intra-operation,24 hours post-operation and the total volumes of blood lose,the hemoglobin level before operation,24 hours post-operation and 42 days post-operation had no statistic significant difference between the IFO group and control group(P>0.05).No significant difference was found in the operation time between IFO group and the control group(66.40±53.40 minutes and 34.50±4.97 minutes,respectively.Intra-operation,24 hours post-operation and the total volume of blood lose had no relation to the maternal age and gestational weeks(P>0.05).The blood lose of intra-operation in IFO group had positive linear correlation to the operation time.(Pearson relation coefficient R=0.458,.P=0.021).The linear recurrence equation was:the volumes of blood lose intra-operation(ml)=172.68+1.342x(operation time).Conclusion IFO was safe to the mother.It did not affect the involution of uterus and could not increase the blood lose of postpartum and the puerperal infection morbidity.Through the effective measures of preventing postpartum hemorrhage,the postpartum blood lose of the patients that performed intrapartum fetal operation could be no more than that of the patients that had normal Caesarean section.Improving the technique of the intrapartum fetus operation and shortening the operation time are important to prevent postpartum hemorrhage.
