Objective To discuss the clinical application value of Omaha system-based targeting nursing care for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who were treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).Methods A total of 60 advanced HCC patients,who were planned to receive TACE,were prospectively and randomly divided into the control group (n=30) and the observation group (n=30).Routine nursing mode was adopted for the patients in the control group,while Omaha system nursing model was employed for the patients in the observation group.The patients of the observation group were evaluated with Omaha system at the time of admission,the key common problems were screened out and targeted nursing measures were employed.Meanwhile,on the days of admission and discharge all the patients of both groups were asked to fill in the forms of Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-17),Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA),social support rating scale (SSQ) and numerical pain rating scale (NRS);and the degrees of depression,anxiety,social support and pain were respectively assessed.Results Both nursing modes could improve the degrees of depression and anxiety as well as the social support system of HCC patients,but the curative effect of these two aspects in the observation group were obviously better than those in the control group (P<0.05).No statistically significant difference in the improvement of pain degree existed between the two nursing models,but Omaha system-based targeting nursing mode could alleviate the patient's pain to a certain extent.Conclusion For patients with advanced HCC,Omaha system-based targeting nursing care can alleviate the patient's negative emotion and promote the patients to establish effective social support system,this nursing mode is superior to conventional nursing mode.Therefore,Omaha system-based targeting nursing has great application potential in clinical practice.

Objective To detect the content of plasma ctDNA and the mutation rate of BRAF V600E in plasma of patients with thyroid carcinoma ,and to explore its clinical significance. Methods Plasma ctDNA was extracted from 16 patients with thyroid carcinoma and 59 patients with benign thyroid nodules by using the blood genomic DNA Extraction Kit. The ctDNA content was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR ,and the mutation of circulating BRAF V600E was detected by PCR and sequencing. Then the clinical significance was analyzed by combined detection analysis. Results The content of ctDNA in thyroid cancer group was significantly higher than that in benign nodule group (P < 0.01). BRAF V600E mutation detection showed that the mutation rate was 43.75%,but benign nodules had no mutation. Parallel combined detection improved the sensitivity and the specific-ity of the combined detection was higher. Conclusion Combined detection of ctDNA and BRAF V600E in plasma is helpful for differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
