Objective:To evaluate the value of CK19 mRNA detection in diagnosis of breast cancer. Methods: Patients were categorized into 3 groups:Group 1 consisting of 77 stageⅠ/Ⅱbreast cancer patients, group 2 consisting of 77 stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ breast cancer patients, and control group consisting of 40 non-cancer volunteers. Total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood cells with the RNA Kit as described by the manufacturer, which was followed by one step RT-PCR of RNA. Agarose gel electrophoresis and sequencing were carried out to confirm the amplification of expected sequence (314 bp). ?~2 test was used to compare CK19 mRNA positive rates in different stages of breast cancer. Results: 15/77 (19.48%) of stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ breast cancers patients, 31/77 (40.26%) of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ breast cancers patients and 2/40 (5.00%) of non-cancer volunteers demonstrated positive RT-PCR results. The positive rate of CK19 mRNA in peripheral blood of stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ or stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ breast cancer patients was significantly higher than that of non-cancer volunteers(P=0.037, P=0.001). The positive rate of CK19 mRNA in peripheral blood of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳbreast cancer patients was significantly higher than that of stageⅠ/Ⅱbreast cancer patients(P=0.005). Conclusion: CK19 RT-PCR is a promising method for detecting circulating tumor cells in patients with breast cancer, which may provide valuable information for tumor staging and treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for implementing pharmaceutical care for secondary prevention of patients with myocardial infarction and improving medication compliance by clinical pharmacist. METHODS:A questionnaire survey was con-ducted for 200 secondary prevention patients with myocardial infarction in our hospital,and divided into good medication compli-ance group and poor medication compliance group by Morisky-Green(MG)standard scoring evaluation, and the reasons affecting the medication compliance were statistically analyzed. RESULTS:Totally 200 questionnaires were sent out,200 were effectively re-ceived with effective recovery of 100%. 137 patients showed good medication compliance and 62 patients showed poor medication compliance,there were statistically significant differences in the age,monthly income,whether there was a medical insurance or not,whether they live alone or not and whether they had more than 4 oral drugs between 2 groups(P<0.05). The reasons of poor medication compliance were forgetting to take the medicine,too many kinds of medicine,too expensive to afford the medicine, lacking the knowledge of the disease and poor medication guide. CONCLUSIONS:The poor medication compliance of patients with secondary prevention of myocardial infarction is closely related with elder age,low income,no medical insurance,living alone,and taking more than 4 kinds of medicine. Clinical pharmacists should play their professional expertise,repeatedly supervise patients'medication compliance and finally improve the efficacy and patients'quality of life.
