Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(21):3217-3219
Objective To investigate the effect of nutrition support therapy on quality of life in patients with advanced tumors.Methods 70 patients with advanced tumors were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,each group had 35 cases.The control group was given conservative treatment,together with the ordinary liquid,semi-liquid or diet.The observation group was given nutrition support therapy on the basis of conservative therapy.The nutrition and immune index and symptom score,quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results The nutrition,immune indexes (Alb,BMI and NK) and symptom score (malaise,anorexia,insomnia,pain) of the observation group were significantly improved(t =7.92,6.98,5.56,7.41,6.47,5.61,4.52,all P < 0.05),which were significantly better than those of the control group(t =4.42,4.10,4.03,6.42,5.60,4.83,4.23,all P <0.05).The physical function,role function,emotional function,cognitive function score and total score of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t =8.12,6.08,5.12,4.78,4.32,all P < 0.05).Conclusion Nutrition support therapy can improve the nutritional status of cancer patients in advanced stage,relieve symptoms,improve immune function and quality of life,which is worthy of clinical application.

Cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) is a kind of small molecular peptide which can pass through a variety of cell membranes. It can carry bioactive macromolecules into cells. Due to lacking of tissue-selecting and targeting behavior, the application of CPP in the field of tumor treatment is limited. Activatable cell- penetrating peptide (ACPP) has brought the dawn to the application of CPP. This review mainly introduces the applications of ACPP in the targeting antitumor drug delivery which was designed based on the differences between tumor microenvironment and normal tissues as well as the exogenous physical stimulation.

Objective To investigate freshmen's prevalence of depression disorder and to analyse the in-fluential factors on depression in military colleges. Methods Depression, self-consciousness, coping style, per-sonality feature, birth background and other factors were investigated by MMPI and related questionnaires in 683 freshmen of military colleges. Results The prevalence of depression disorder was 3.66% ; $i, Dy, Ne mean scores of freshmen with depression disorder were significantly higher than without depression disorder(t= 5. 348,3. 879,2. 997 ) (P<0.05, P<0.01)), otherwise, Do, Pc , PEI ones were significantly lower than without depres-sion disorder( t= -2.171, -2.602, -2.62) (P<0.05, P<0.01);D mean score of all subjects was significant-ly related to Si, Dy, Do, Nc, PEI,Pe(r=0.600,0.465, -0.356,0. 240, -0. 353, -0. 146) (P<0.05, P<0.01 ). And also Si,Do,Pc,Nc got into regression quotation. Condusion Freshmen's depression is associated with their personalities,coping style and self-consciousness, however,their personalities, coping style were most important pre-dictors.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the olfactory abilities in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR), analyze the correlation between olfactory bulb (OB) volume with depth of olfactory sulcus (OS) and olfactory function in patients with AR.
METHOD:
One hundred patients with AR were compared with one hundred controls in terms of olfactory function T&T testing, OB volume and depth of OS assessed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). T&T testing and MRI were done after a year in 100 AR patients,the results were compared with the initial results.
RESULT:
The OB volume in AR patients was (29.53±3.95) mm3 on the left, (29.67±14.21)mm3 on the right, (29.61±4.05) mm3 on average; The OB volume in controls was (48.93±6.73)mm3 on the left side, (48.81±7.43)mm3 on the right side, (48.85±7.11)mm3 on average; The OB volume in AR patients was less then the control group(t= 6.321, 6.141, 6.221, P<0.01). The OS depth had no statistical difference between AR patients and controls (t=1.032, 0.972, 0.991, P>0.05). Olfactory discriminate threshold was negatively correlated with OB volume in AR patients (r=-0.46, P<0.05); and it was no correlated with depth of OS (r=-0.012,P>0.05). Among 100 followed-up AR patients, 43 showed increased in OB volume and olfactory function after a year, but there was no statistical difference (t= 0. 811,0. 843, 0.826, P>0.05; Z=1.911, P>0.05) ,and the other 57 showed no significant changes of OB volume and olfactory function.
CONCLUSION
In AR patients, the OB volume and olfactory function decreased, but the depth of OS had no significant changes. The OB volume is correlated with olfactory function, while the depth of OS is no correlated with olfactory function. Conservative treatment had some clinical significance on the recovery of olfactory function in patients with AR.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of artificial tiger bone powder on osteoporosis.Methods The postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,31 cases in each group.The treatment group orally received artificial tiger bone powder,the control group orally received Caltrate D.At the beginning and 3,6 months after treatment,European health index (EQ-5D),Barthel index (BI) and Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) were used to evaluate the curative effect.Results There were no significant differences in EQ-5D,BI and FPS-R between the two groups at the beginning of treatment.At 3,6 months after treatment,EQ-5D of the two groups were (0.83 ± 0.09) points vs.(0.77 ± 0.08) points,(0.89 ± 0.07) points vs.(0.84 ± 0.08) points;BI were (74.61 ± 8.39) points vs.(70.07 ± 8.51) points,(77.24 ± 7.15) points vs.(73.31 ±7.41) points;FPS-R were (3.14 ± 1.06) points vs.(3.79 ± 1.12) points,(2.31 ± 0.92) points vs.(2.98 ±0.87) points,which in the treatment group were better than those in the control group (t =2.774,2.619,2.115,2.125,2.347,2.946,all P < 0.05).Conclusion Artificial tiger bone powder can relieve pain in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients,improve the patients' ability and improve their quality of life.And artificial tiger bone powder can effectively treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Sixty-two elderly patients with distal radius fractures after fixation with small splints were enrolled in the study from January to December 2014.Patients were randomly divided into intervention and control groups with 31 cases in each group.Patients in both groups received comprehensive prevention for hand swelling, those in intervention group were given additional external administration of sodium aescinate gel (SAG), 1 g, t.i.d for 7 d.Swelling score and visual analogue scale (VAS) were documented before and 3, 7 d after intervention.At the time of fracture healing, the wrist functions, including motions of flexion-extension, motions of radial-ulnar and motions of pronation-supination were examined.At 3 and 7 d after intervention, the swelling score(1.22 ±0.69 vs.1.65 ±0.75 and 0.64 ±0.42 vs.0.96 ±0.71) and VAS(1.96 ±1.27 vs.2.85 ±1.40 and 1.11 ±0.65 vs.1.86 ±1.09)of intervention group were lower than those of control group (all P<0.05).At the time of fracture healing, the wrist motions of flexion-extension [(83.7 ±8.6) vs.(77.6 ±7.1)%], motions of radial-ulnar [(83.0 ±7.6) vs.(78.2 ±8.7)%] and motions of pronation-supination [(81.0 ±7.0) vs.(76.2 ±7.5)%] of intervention group were higher than those of control group ( P <0.05 ) .The results indicate that SAG can reduce swelling, relief pain and promote the recovery of wrist function in elderly patients with distal radius fractures.
