Multiple myeloma (MM) originates from malignant plasma cells, leading to multiple destructive lytic bone lesions that occur in more than 80%of MM patients. MicroRNAs have been reported to be involved in the development of bone lesions in MM. However, it is still unclear that microRNAs can be considered as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for bone lesions. MiR-214 and miR-135b may participate in the pathogenesis of bone marrow, which has shown a certain guiding significance in its prognosis. This paper will introduce the relationship between miR-214, miR-135b and myeloma bone disease.

Objective To understand the correlation of expression levels of serum stromal cell-derived factor 1α (SDF-1α), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and β2microglobulin (β2-MG) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) with or without myeloma bone disease (MBD). Methods Eighty patients with MM who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January 2014 to June 2017 were selected; all of the patients met the international diagnostic criteria for MM. According to the symptoms such as bone pain, the patients were divided into group with MBD (45 cases) and group without MBD (35 cases). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum levels of SDF-1α and OPG, and radioimmunoassay was used to detect the expression of MM major prognostic indicator β2-MG. The MBD score was evaluated in 45 patients selected by random number table after sacroiliac joint X-ray and three-dimensional bone reconstruction. The χ 2test was used to compare the categorical variables; the two independent sample t-test was used to compare the continuous variables that conformed to the normal distribution between two groups, and the Pearson method was used for the correlation analysis. Results The expression level of serum SDF-1α in the group with MBD was significantly higher than that in the group without MBD [0.31±0.17) pg/ml vs. (0.18±0.06) pg/ml], and the difference was statistically significant (t ＝-4.21, P < 0.001). The expression level of serum OPG in the group with MBD was significantly lower than that in the group without MBD [(0.73±0.50) pg/ml vs. (1.08±0.31) pg/ml], and the difference was statistically significant (t＝ 3.62, P< 0.001). Pearson analysis showed that β2-MG level in the group was positively correlated with SDF-1α level (r＝ 0.84, P< 0.001), and negatively correlated with OPG level (r＝ -0.48, P<0.001). The β2-MG level in the group without MBD did not show a correlation with the SDF-1α and OPG levels. Conclusions In the serum of patients with MBD, the expression levels of β2-MG and SDF-1α are increased, and the expression level of OPG is decreased. SDF-1α and OPG may be new clinical biochemical indicators for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis assessment in MBD.

Objective:To investigate the influence of collaborative psychological nursing on the quality of life and psychology of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients and their caregivers.Methods:Eighty NHL patients and 80 caregivers in the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from February 2018 to February 2019 were selected, and the patients were divided into observation group 1 (40 patients) and control group 1 (40 patients) according to the random number table method, and the caregivers were divided into observation group 2 (40 caregivers) and control group 2 (40 caregivers). Control group 1 was given routine nursing, and observation group 1 was given collaborative psychological nursing on the basis of routine nursing. The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF was used to compare the quality of life of two groups of patients and two groups of caregivers. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to compare the psychological states of two groups of patients and two groups of caregivers.Results:Compared with control group 1, the observation group 1 had lower SAS and SDS scores after nursing [(40±6) points vs. (44±6) points, t = 5.12, P = 0.014; (46±4) points vs. (52±4) points, t = 3.22, P = 0.031] and higher WHOQOL-BREF scores [(87.2±2.1) points vs. (65.0±2.5) points, t = 8.55, P = 0.018]. Compared with control group 2, the observation group 2 had lower SAS and SDS scores after nursing [(37±4) points vs. (40±4) points, t = 3.21, P = 0.021; (44±4) points vs. (49±3) points, t = 2.37, P = 0.032] and higher WHOQOL-BREF scores [(84.0±2.5) points vs. (79.5±2.7) points, t = 3.28, P=0.015]. Compared with before nursing, SAS and SDS of each group decreased after nursing, while WHOQOL-BREF scores increased, and all differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Collaborative psychological nursing can effectively improve the quality of life and mental resilience score of NHL patients and their caregivers.
