Ten ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters are confirmed to be associated with resistance against anticancer drugs. To investigate the relationship between these ten ABC transporters and the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE2 resistant to cisplatin, cisplatin and cisplatin with 5-fluorouracil were used to induce the CNE2 cell to acquire the drug-resistance for 1 year. After these cells were cultured without drugs for 2 months, the MTT assay method was used to determine the dose-effect relationship of cisplatin and resistant index. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA expression of ten ABC transporters in CNE2 and the drug-resistant CNE2 cells, and the result was confirmed by immunocytochemical method. The results of MTT method showed that two cell lines resistant to cisplatin (named as CNE2/DDP) and cisplatin with 5-fluorouracil (named as CNE2/DDP+5Fu) were established, with resistant index 2.58 and 5.31, respectively. Of ten ABC transporters, only ABCC2 was found to be up-regulated both in CNE2/DDP and CNE2/DDP+5Fu cells, for increasing about 2.50 and 4.08 folds, respectively. The results of immunocytochemical method also confirmedthat the expression of ABCC2 in CNE2/DDP and CNE2/DDP+5Fu cells were stronger that that in CNE2 cell. Furthermore, ABCC2 protein was found to be located at nuclear membrane of CNE2/DDP +5Fu cell but not at nuclear membrane of CNE2 cell. The results suggest that ABCC2 may play an important role in cisplatinresistance of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE2.

Objective:To compare the clinical value of ultrasonography, multi-slice spiral computed tomography(MSCT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP) in the early diagnosis of cholelithiasis.Methods:The clinical data of 140 patients with suspected cholelithiasis treated in Yuyao People's Hospital from January 2017 to March 2019 were reviewed.All the patients were examined by ultrasonography, MSCT and MRCP.Based on the results of operation, the diagnostic results of ultrasonography, MSCT and MRCP were compared, and the consistency between the diagnostic results was analyzed.Results:Of 140 patients with suspected cholelithiasis, 100 cases were confirmed to be cholelithiasis by operation.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRCP were 97.00%(97/100), 95.00%(38/40) and 96.43%(135/140), which were higher than those of ultrasonography[87.00% (87/100), 80.00%(32/40), 85.00%(119/140)] and MSCT[89.00%(89/100), 77.50%(31/40) and 85.71%(120/140)](χ 2=6.794, 4.114, 10.854, χ 2=4.916, 5.165, 9.882, all P<0.05). The consistency between MRCP and surgical diagnosis was good, but the consistency between ultrasound, MSCT and surgical diagnosis was moderate. Conclusion:The accuracy of MRCP is better than ultrasound and MSCT in the diagnosis of cholelithiasis, which has good diagnostic value and can reduce the missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of cholelithiasis.

Objective To analysis the causes and preventive measures of acquired pressure ulcers in hospitalized patients, and to provide evidences and references for strengthening hospital management of pressure ulcers.Methods We took a retrospective study to collect relevant information of 201 patients with hospital-acquired pressure ulcers from January 2012 to December 2014, and conducted a descriptive statistical analysis on the cause of the developed, high-risk departments and high-risk areas, then came up with preventive suggestions.Results The high incidence of 201 hospital-acquired pressure ulcers was oncology department, which accounted for 33.83%;the most common part was the sacrococcygeal region, which accounted for 59.2%;stage II was the most common stage of pressure ulcer, which accounted for 76. 12%; 64. 67% of the pressure ulcers happens within the first two weeks in hospital. Braden scoring less than 12 points that accounted for 58. 21%;anemia accounted for 72. 14%; hypoalbuminemia accounted for 75. 62%; forced postures caused by pain or hydrothorax and ascite accounted for 26.87%; medical equipment pressure accounted for 10.95%. The use of vacuum pad accounted for 87.56%;turning over once every 2 hours accounted for 41.79%. Skin nursing according to the guide accounted for 62. 19%; nutritional support through the mouth or vein accounted for 38.81%. Reporting to the nursing department timely after the occurrence accounted for 95.52%; found in ward rounds accounted for 1.99%; reported by patients or their families accounted for 1.49%; failure to report and found in the medical records accounted for 1.00%,the patient or family members to report accounted for 1.49%. Conclusions Cancer patients are high-risk groups of nosocomial pressure ulcers. The sacrococcygeal region is the high-risk area;stage II is the most common stage, and most of them happens within the first 2 weeks in hospital. Main reasons are hypoalbuminemia, anemia, forced postures, unable to turn over periodically, and the preventive care implementation is not enough. For cancer patients, preventive care is recommended, especially those patients with cancer pain, malnutrition and forced postures.

Objective:To explore the application effect of integrated Chinese and Western medicine nursing based on the individual and family self-management theory (IFSMT) in patients with urinary incontinence after stroke, and provide reference for clinical nurses to effectively rehabilitate these patients.Methods:This was a quasi-experimental study. A total of 136 patients with urinary incontinence after stroke who were hospitalized in the Department of Encephalopathy of Shanxi Acupuncture and Moxibology Hospital from February 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the study objects by convenience sampling method. The subjects were divided into the control group and the experimental group with 68 cases in each group by random number table method. The control group received routine rehabilitation nursing, and the experimental group received integrated Chinese and western medicine nursing based on IFSMT on the basis of routine rehabilitation nursing. Urinary status, activities of daily living and quality of life of 2 groups were compared.Results:Ultimately, there were 68 cases were admitted in each group. In the control group, male 45 cases, female 23 cases, aged (62.35 ± 4.94) years old. In the experimental group, male 49 cases, female 19 cases, aged (61.94 ± 5.02) years old. There was no statistical significance in urinary status, activities of daily living and quality of life scores between the 2 groups before the intervention (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the average daily urination frequency of experimental group was (7.94 ± 1.08) times, which was lower than that of control group (9.88 ± 1.09) times; the average daily frequency of incontinence in the experimental group was (3.63 ± 1.65) times, lower than (5.03 ± 3.35)times in the control group; the average daily urine volume of experimental group was (107.34 ± 4.15) ml, higher than (89.62 ± 19.71) ml of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=10.46,3.09, -7.23, all P<0.05). The scores of activities of daily living in the experimental group was (60.44 ± 3.65) points, which were higher than (46.24 ± 3.29) points in the control group; the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire score of experimental group was (80.38 ± 4.65) points, which was higher than (64.62 ± 5.62) points of control group; Insomnia Severity Index-Short Form score of the experimental group was (10.94 ± 5.17) points, which was lower than (12.85 ± 4.30) points of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=23.85, -17.86, 2.34, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Integrated Chinese and western medicine nursing intervention based on IFSMT has a positive effect on patients with urinary incontinence after stroke, and can significantly improve patients' urination and daily living activities, thus improving patients' quality of life.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of long-time and short-time blood pressure variability (BPV) on glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in elderly population.

METHODSA total of 2 464 participants aged of ≥60 years old without history of stroke and coronary heart disease were selected with random sampling method from the individuals underwent health check up in Tangshan Kailuan Hospital, Kailuan Linxi Hospital, Kailuan Zhaogezhuang Hospital between 2006 and 2013. The study participants were asked to join a face-to-face interview every two years. Long-time BPV was defined as the standard deviation of all SBP values at the baseline visit and following visits, short-time BPV was defined as the standard deviation of day time blood pressure and night time blood pressure which was derived from 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Multivariate linear regression models were used to test the impact of long- and short-time BPV on eGFR.

RESULTSThe study included 3 participants groups including the long-time SBPV group (2 279 participants), the short-time SBPV group (1 636 participants) and the long- plus short-time SBPV group (1 632 participants). Participants were further sub grouped by median value (NO.1median value). eGFR in the long-time SBPV NO.1 and NO.2 group was 83.19 and 81.49 ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2) respectively, in the short time SBPV NO.1 and NO.2 group was 83.53 and 80.81ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2) of the day time, and was 83.20 and 81.14 ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2) of the night time, respectively. eGFR in the long- plus short-time SBPV NO.1 and NO.2 group was 83.21 and 81.08 ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2) of the long-time SBPV, and was 83.53 and 80.75 ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2) of the day time, and was 83.18 and 81.11 ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2) of the night time. Significant linear relationship was found between higher day time SBPV and lower eGFR (P<0.05). After adjusting for confounding parameters including age, sex, body mass index, 1 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) of day time SBPV increase was related 0.21 ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2) eGFR decrease (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe higher day time SBPV is associated with reduced eGFR in the elderly population.Clinical Trail Registry Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR-TNC-11001489.

Results of the IMbrave150 clinical study showed that atezolizumab plus bevaci-zumab have better overall survival and progression-free survival than sorafenib in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma patients. However, hepatocellular carcinoma patients with esophageal varices were not included in the IMbrave150 clinical study mainly considering the bleeding risk of patients undergoing treatment of bevacizumab. The authors introduce the atezolizumab plus bevaci-zumab treatment of an advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patient with moderate esophageal varices. By reducing the dose of bevacizumab, the patient achieved an excellent curative effect.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and mechanism of Ganoderma lucidum hypoglycemic formula in the treatment of insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with liver and kidney yin deficiency. Methods:A total of 86 patients with T2DM with liver and kidney yin deficiency who were diagnosed and treated at Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to February 2022 were included in this study. These patients were divided into a control group and a treatment group, with 43 patients in each group using a 1:1 ratio using the sealed envelope method. Both groups were treated with standardized Western medicine. The treatment group was also treated with the Ganoderma lucidum hypoglycemic formula. All patients were followed up for 12 weeks. The clinical symptoms, curative effect, glucose and lipid metabolism, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress change, and safety were compared between the two groups. Results:The total response rate in the treatment group was 88.4% (38/43), which was significantly higher than 53.5% (23/43) in the control group ( χ2 = 12.69, P < 0.001). After treatment, the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score, fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, insulin resistance index, total cholesterol, triglyceride, tumor necrosis factor α, and interleukin-6 decreased in each group. The amplitudes of decrease of the above indexes were greater in the treatment group compared with the control group (all P < 0.05). C-peptide in the fasting state, C-peptide at 2 hours after a diet, and superoxide dismutase increased in each group. The amplitudes of increase of the three indexes were greater in the treatment group compared with the control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Ganoderma lucidum hypoglycemic formula can greatly improve insulin resistance and glucose and lipid metabolism in T2DM patients with liver and kidney yin deficiency. The underlying mechanism may be to further reduce the inflammatory response and anti-oxidative stress by down-regulating tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-6 levels and up-regulating superoxide dismutase level, thereby effectively alleviating insulin resistance in T2DM.
