Objective To investigate the value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in evaluation of prognosis in patients with early cervical cancer before radical resection. Methods A restropective study was performed in 76 patients who underwent radical resection for early cervical cancer in our hospital between 2007 and 2009. All patients were diagnosed by pathology. All patients did not accept neoadjuvant therapy , the median value of neutrophit-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was 1.94 (0.73-9.31 in range). Based on this value of 1.94 as threshold, all patients were divided into 2 groups: a low NLR(≤1.94, n=38) group and a high NLR ( >1.94, n=38) group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the effectiveness of preoperative NLR to the prognosis in patients who underwent radical hysterectomy combined with pelvic lymph node dissection. Results The preoperative NLR was different significantly in the depth of stromal infiltration, lymphatic metastas, FIGO stage and pathological type between the low NLR group and the high NLR group. The high NLR group, lymphatic metastas, postoperative radiotherapy and FIGO stageⅡ were all risk factors for prognosis and disease-free survival in univariate analysis.Multivariate analysis revealed that NLR, lymphatic metastas and FIGO stageⅡwere independent risk factors for disease-free survival. FIGO stageⅡand lymphatic metastasis were independent risk factors for overall survivaI. Conclusion Preoperative NLR was found to correlate to unfavorable histopathologic features of cervical cancer. The preoperative NLR may be used as a useful and easy biomarker for disease-free survival in patients with cervical cancer, but not an independent risk factor for poor prognosis.

The composition of moxibustion quantity is discussed, and it is believed that the effective moxibustion quantity is a certain threshold range, which is influenced by the functional state of the patient and different moxibustion methods. Based on the foundation of conventional moxibustion quantity, the quantity should be adjusted according to patient's constitution, age,moxibustion area, affected region, nature of disease and the sensitivity. Through different methods and techniques, the stimulus intensity and time can be altered to approach a proper moxibustion quantity.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological relation between the TNF-? and IgA nephropathy. Methods TNF-? levels in serum, urine and renal tissues of 50 patients with IgA nephropathy were measured, and 10 patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome(MCNS) and 10 healthy subjects served as negative control group. Results The serum and urine levels of TNF-? in the patients with IgA nephropathy were significantly higher than those in the patients with MCNS and healthy subjects, and had a significant positive correlation with the degree of proteinuria and renal demage. TNF-? expression was mainly localized in the cytoplasm of the proximal renal tubular epithelial cells, and the interstitium with more monocyte-macrophages infiltration. Conclusion TNF-? took part in the onset of hematuria and proteinuria, was correlated with the degree of renal damage, and played an important role in the aggravation of IgA nephropathy.

Objective To investigate the relationships between exercise and exercise self-efficacy and knowledge in pregnant women. Methods A total of 274 pregnant women were recruited from a tertiary level first class hospital from July to November 2015 in Guangzhou by convenience sampling method. They were investigated with the social relational scale, the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionaire, the Pregnancy Exercise Self-efficacy Scale, the Pregnancy Exercise knowledge Scale. Results Only 22.6% (62/274) of the women met the international guideline for exercise. Score of the exercise self-efficacy and exercise were positively correlated(r=0.203, P=0.000). Score of the knowledge and exercise were positively correlated(r=0.103, P=0.032). Score of the exercise self-efficacy and knowledge were meaningless(r=0.098, P=0.106). Conclusions It is suggested to take more actions to enhance the recognition of pregnant women for exercise. Conviction formed after thinking knowledge gradually, by faith again dominate action, ultimately promote the perinatal health of pregnant women.
