Objective To explore the psychological feelings of inpatients with AIDS, direct nurses to understand their psychological feelings in order to provide holistic nursing care. Methods Phenomenological method in qualitative research was adopted, 12 inpatients with AIDS were interviewed. Results The emo-tional feelings of inpatients with AIDS concerned mainly about: feeling shocked when they got to know they had affected with AIDS, wanting to commit suicide because of suffering, earnestly demanding for the com-panion of family members, the need for mental supports, planning to go on to work after feeling better be-cause of financial problems, worrying about children at home. Conclusions Nurses should estimate the changes in emotional reactions of inpatients with AIDS properly, understand their life conditions, and help them to promote their life quality by providing holistic nursing care.

Objective To compare the effects of Graves thyrotoxicosis patients treated by long-term use of anti-thyroid drug ( ATD) and without long-term use of ATD ,and to explore the application value and safety of ATD be-fore 131 I treatment.Methods 62 cases with Graves hyperthyroidism were divided into the two groups according to whether received the long-term ATD treatment.The curative effects,hormone level and safety were compared.Results The success rate of ATD group was 43.75%, the success rate of without ATD treatment group was 56.67%, the difference between the two groups had statistical significance (Ridit=15.152,P=0.000).The thyroid mass,FT3, FT4 ,TSH levels after treatment between two groups had no significant differences , but the difference of the highest iodine uptake rate in 24h had significant difference (t =6.954,P<0.05).The adverse reactions in ATD treated group and ATD untreated group were 7 cases(21.88%) and 3 cases(10.00%),there was statistically significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =4.563,P=0.032).Conclusion Long-term ATD therapy before 131I treatment can reduce the highest iodine uptake rate in 24h,reduce the clinical curative effect and increase adverse reaction rate .

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to detect the immunoexpression of interleukin-21 (IL-21) and receptor activator. of nuclear factor KB ligand (RANKL) in periapical granulomas (PGs) and radicular cysts (RCs). The interaction of IL-21 with RANKL and its role in periapical pathogenesis were also speculated.

METHODSA total of 32 PGs and 23 RCs were selected as experimental samples. Lesion size and occurrence of tenderness were recorded. Up to 10 healthy gingival tissues were collected as normal control samples. All tissues were subjected to immunohistocheincal analysis with anti-human IL-21 and RANKL polyclonal antibodies. The correlations of IL-21 with RANKL, lesion size, and the occurrence of tenderness of the PGs and RCs were evaluated.

RESULTSIL-21-positive cells were detected in all periapical lesion tissues but not in normal tissues. In the cyst group and granuloma group, the corresponding expression levels of IL-21 were 59.92±6.57 and 36.80± 6.81, whereas those of RANKL were 68.81±18.59 and 36.12±14.87, respectively. Moreover, t-test revealed a significantly higher expression of IL-21 and RANKL in RCs than in PGs (P<0.05). IL-21 and RANKL were positively correlated in both PGs and RCs (P<0.05). Furthermore, IL-21 was correlated with lesion size (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThis study demonstrated that IL-21 is potentially involved in the pathogenesis of apical periodontitis lesions. A role in the exacerbation of chronic inflammation, as well as in bone resorption, is suspected. Further studies are required to elucidate the specific functions of IL-21 in periradicular inflammatory processes.

OBJECTIVE:To provide a reference for clinical use of anti-tumor adjuvant drugs as is reasonable,effective and economical. METHODS:By retrospective investigation and analysis,the utilization of anti-tumor adjuvant drugs in the oncology department of our hospital during 2010 and 2013 was analyzed statistically in respect of the type,dosage form,consumption amount,DDDs,DDC,DUI etc. RESULTS:The anti-tumor adjuvant drugs in our hospital were dominated by injections,especial-ly domestic drugs,the consumption amount of which accounted for 80% of the total consumption amount of anti-tumor adjuvant drugs each year. The anti-tumor adjuvant drugs were mainly used for symptomatic treatment of various adverse reactions. Drug syn-chronization was relatively good each year,however,excessive use of individual drugs existed. CONCLUSIONS:Anti-tumor adju-vant drugs have relatively better synchronism in the drugs quantities and medication number. However,individual drugs have exces-sive use and other irrational use.

Among them,top three types of the non-stan-dard medication were:non-standard medication time,incorrect usage and missed medication. CONCLUSIONS:Due to clinical phar-macists’intervention,the problems of drug therapy can be found so as to put forward reasonable suggestions and guidance,reduce the incidence of ADR,and improve the effective rate and success rate.

Objective To compare ratio of circulating Th17 over Tc17 cells in patients with colorectal polyp (CRP), colorectal adenoma (CRA) and colorectal cancer (CRC),and analyse their relationship. Methods The ratio of circulating Th17 over Tc17 cells in 93 patients(17 CRP, 34 CRA and 42 CRC)and 17 healthy donors were examined by flow cytometry;Serum levels of IL-17A and IL-23 were tested by ELISA. Results The ratio of circulating Th17 over Tc17 cells and the se-rum levels of IL-17A and IL-23 were the lowest in healthy control groups, medium in CRP and CRA groups and the highest in CRC groups (P＜0.05). The proportions of Tc17 cells in CRA groups were significantly higher compared to those in CRP groups,but no statistical significance of proportion of circulating Th17 cells as well as serum levels of IL-17A and IL-23 be-tween CRA and CRP groups was observed (P>0.05). Further analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between proportions of circulating Th17 and Tc17 cells (rs=0.594, P＜0.001). Conclusion The proportions of circulating Th17 and Tc17 cells were positively related and the ratio of Th17 over Tc17 was markedly increased from CRP group or CRA group to CRC group.
