Objective To detect the expressions of Y-box-binding protein-1(YB-1)and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)markers(E-cadherin and N-cadherin)in colorectal cancer(CRC),to analyze the relationship between the expression of YB-1 and clinicopathological parameters,to evaluate the correlations among YB-1,E-cadherin and N-cadherin. Methods The expressions of YB-1,E-cadherin and N-cadherin in 120 primary CRC tumors and corresponding normal tissues were detected by western blot and immunohistochem-istry and the results were analyzed. Results The expressions of YB-1,E-cadherin and N-cadherin in tumors were significantly different from those in corresponding normal tissues(χ2 = 47. 373,P ﹤ 0. 05;χ2 = 83. 145, P ﹤ 0. 05;χ2 = 41. 832,P ﹤ 0. 05). The expression of YB-1 in tumors was associated significantly with tumor differentiation,tumor invasion,lymph node metastasis and distance metastasis(χ2 = 8. 077,P = 0. 008;χ2 =8. 178,P = 0. 006;χ2 = 15. 152,P ﹤ 0. 001;χ2 = 7. 368,P = 0. 011). It was negatively correlated with E-cadherin expression(r = - 0. 238,P = 0. 009),but positively correlated with N-cadherin expression(r =0. 361,P ﹤ 0. 001). Conclusion YB-1 may promote the occurrence and development of CRC by participating in EMT program.

Objective To evaluate the reliability, validity and feasibility of the Chinese version of SF-36 health survey questionaire in long-term survivors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods A total of 85 long-term NPC survivors completed the Chinese version of SF-36 by either telephone or mail survey. Correlation analysis, reliability analysis and factor analysis were performed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale. Results The Chinese version of SF-36 was easy to complete. The split-half reliability was 0. 92 and the Cronbach's α coefficient among domains were all above 0. 70, which showed good reliability and discrimination capacity among domains. All the correlation coefficients between each item and its domain achieved or approached 0. 5, which were greater than those between the item and other domains. These results demonstrated that the Chinese version of SF-36 had good content validity and discriminatory validity. Six principal components were extracted from the scale, which could basically represent eight domains. The cumulative variance was 71.4%. Two common factors were extracted from the eight domains, which accounted for 73.3% of the variance. The Chinese version of SF-36 was able to detect differences in the quality of life between NPC patients and healthy populations. Conclusions The Chinese version of SF-36 has good feasibility, reliability and validity in evaluating the quality of life in long-term NPC survivors.

Objective To analyze the effect of quality of life (QOL) on the prognosis of long-term survivors with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods A total of 192 NPC patients treated between 1999 and 2000 and with tumor-free survival before July 2003 were enrolled in this study. All patients received QOL measurement between July and August in 2003. Measurement scales included Chinese SF-36 questionnaire and a checklist consisting of fourteen items about self-rating symptoms. The median follow-up time was 7.9S years (range 2.67-9.55 years). The effects of QOL, social demographic and clinical factors on prognosis were analyzed. Results Univariate analysis showed that QOL affected the tumor-free survival and overall survival. Multivariate analysis showed that hypomnesia was an independent prognostic factor of tumor-free survival, while trismus, headache and age were independent prognostic factors of overall survival. The younger and the better QOL had better prognosis. The other sociodemographic and clinical factors had no prognostic value. Conclusion QOL is an important factor affecting the prognosis of long-term survivors with NPC, and it should be routinely evaluated during the follow-up.

Objective:
To validation and optimization the indicator system of risk assessment for mechanical cuts.
Methods:
The risk assessment index system of mechanical cutting injury established earlier was used to assess the risk of mechanical cutting injury in 40 cases of mechanical cutting injury registered from January 2015 to December 2017 and 40 similar positions without accidents in the same period. The multiple stepwise regression analysis was used to screen the indicator system, and to adjust the weight coefficient of each index. The total coincidence rate and Kappa value were compared between before and after optimization respectively.
Results:
The new index system has 3 first-class indicators, 10 second-class indicators and 14 three-class indicators, fewer than the old index system which has 3 first-class indicators, 10 second-class indicators, 34 three-class indicators. There three indicators have revamped in the first-class. The total of coincidence rates of the new and old indicator systems were 67.50% and 90.00%, the difference was statistically significant (
