Objective To determine the reliability, validity and feasibility of using International Classifica-tion of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core set for breast cancer in Chinese patients. Methods Quality of life (QOL) of 110 patients with breast cancer were investigated using ICF breast cancer core set and SF-36 scale. Statistical analysis tested their reliability, validity and feasibility. Results It was shown that the ICF core set for breast cancer had good reliability, validity and feasibility. Conclusions The ICF core set for breast cancer is a re-liable and valid instrument for Chinese breast cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of intravenous injection of α-crystallin on retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and some important organs of the Long Evans rats. Methods RGC were retrogradelabeled by fluorogold through bilateral superior colliculus and lateral geniculate body for seven days before optic nerve crush injury. Twenty-three Long Evans rats were used for this study, including three rats of normal control group and 20 rats of experimental group. Twenty rats were randomly divided into saline control group and three α-crystallin injection groups, which received tail vein injection of 1.25 ml isotonic saline and three different concentrations (1 × 10-2 , 1 × 10-1 and 1 g/L) of α-crystallin respectively, once every two days and totally seven times. After two weeks, the labeled RGC were counted, and the pathological changes on liver, kidney, brain, spleen and the lungs were investigated. Results Compared with the normal control group, although the number of RGC markedly decreased after two weeks of optic nerve crush injury in every group, the number of RGC in α-crystallin-treated groups was more than those in the saline control group. There were 2074± 150 RGC per mm2 in normal control group, 85 ± 15 RGC per mm2 in saline control group, 124±26 RGC per mm2 in 1 × 10-2 g/L α-crystallin group, 128± 31 RGC per mm2 in 1 × 10-1 g/L α-crystallin group, 164 ± 20 RGC per mm2 in 1 g/L α-crystallin group (F= 18. 660,P＜0. 01). No congestion, swelling, inflammation and other pathological changes were found in liver,kidney, brain, spleen and lung. Conclusions Intravenous injection of α-crystallin protein has protective effects on RGC after the optic nerve crush injury, and no significant effects on important organs.

This article discussed the ancient and modern meaning of security of intense drugs for pregnant woman. And emphatically studied the meaning of the ‘gu’, pointing out that ‘gu’had three connotations, one referred to disease, second mean the original disease, with the ‘new’disease relative, the third referred to reasons. In addition, the article expounded how can be safe for the pregnant woman to use drugs with extremely intense action. In this paper, its purpose was to examine how to achieve security under circumstance of sick and fi nally achieve balance and harmony.

Three different procedures of Guipi Oral Liquid have been studied. By comparison of TLC spots of n-buranol and n-hexane extracts from the sample and the UV absorption spectrum of the main component, ferulic acid, the rational production process was developed, which provides an experimental base for preparation improvement.

Objective To investigate the effect of Brocho-Vaxom in curing chronic pulmonary heart disease and the influence of patient's immunity.Methods 58 patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease were randomly divided into two equal groups.Each patient of treatment group took a Brocho-Vaxom capsule(7mg/cap) every.The respiratory tract infection times and duration were observed.The serum IgA,IgG,IgM level were tested by fast immunonephelometry.The sub-type lymphocyte was tested by SP,and the NK cell's activity was tested by MTT.Results The infection time obviously declined in treatment group which the average was (2.5?1.8) in five months as compared with that in the controlled group(P

Objective To assess whether lysyl oxidase like-2 (LOXL2) has a predictive or prognostic value in pulmonary fibrosis mice,and identify the relationship between LOXL2 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β 1.Methods Male C57BL/6 mice (n=50) were randomly divided into the experimental group (n=40) and controls (n=10).Each mouse in the experimental group was induced by injecting bleomycin into trachea and mice were sacrificed on day 3,7,14 and 28,respectively.The concentrations of LOXL2,TGF-β 1 of the serum and lung homogenates were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.One-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) and nonparametric rank sum test was used for the comparisons between the two groups.Associations between these factors were analyzed by Spearman's test.Results ① The levels of serum and lung homogenates LOXL2 in the experimental group were obviously increased as compared to those in the controls [serum:(56±48) vs (25±23),P＜0.05;lung homogenates:(61±32) vs (22±16),P＜0.05].And in the experimental group,a positive correlation was found between the level of LOXL2 and the radiological index,the pathological score of inflammation and fibrosis.(Serum:r=0.435,0.533,0.335,P＜0.05;lung homogenates:0.675,0.736,0.526,P＜0.05).② The levels of lung homogenates TGF-β 1 in the experimental group were obviously increased as compared to those in the controls [(302±197) vs (64±16),P＜0.05].A positive correlation was found between the level of lung homogenates LOXL2 and the level of lung homogenates TGF-β1 (r=0.520,P＜0.05).Conclusion LOXL2 participates in the pathological process of bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice.It predicts pulmonary fibrosis in the preclinical stage and is associated with increased risk for disease progression.The elevated levels of LOXL2 and TGF-β 1 may have some relationship.They both are involved in the disease progression of pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective:To discuss the regulation requirements of software based on the analysis of software-related recalls of medical devices. Methods:The data of software-related recalls of medical devices in America were collected and processed, and the type, situation, cause and trend of software-related recalls were analyzed, then the suggestions on the regulation requirements of software were proposed. Results:During the four periods from 1983 to 2011, the percentage of software-related recalls vs medical device recalls in America increased from 6%to 19%, and the year-on-year growth rate of software-related recalls rose by 47%to 164%, significantly higher than medical device recalls in the same period (from 13%to 54%). Especially, the problem of software-related recalls in radiology medical devices was the most serious. Conclusion: The regulatory situation of software is more complicated and severe, so the regulation requirements of software, including software validation, adverse event monitoring and usability design, need to be further strengthened according to the particularity of software.

Objective To analyze the relationship between renal function impairement and obesity in patients with primary hypertension.Methods One hundred and twenty-eight primary hypertension patients with renal function impairement admitted to our hospital from January 2012 to December 2015 were divided into obesity group (n=68) and control group (n=60) according to the Asian obesity diagnosis criteria established by the International Diabetes Federation.Relationship of serum urea nitrogen (BUN),creatinine,cystatin C (Cys-C),urinary N-acetyl beta-D glucosaminidase (NAG),urinary micro albumin levels and BMI with renal function impairment in primary hypertension patients was analyzed by multivariate linear stepwise regression analysis.Results The BMI,serum levels of urinary NAG,Cys-C,BUN,and creatinine were significantly higher in obesity group than in control group (31.70±1.80 kg/m2 vs 23.95±2.00 kg/m2,19.34±1.40 U/L vs 14.92±1.31 U/L,0.69±0.06 mg/L vs 0.47±0.05 mg/L,11.50±2.90 mmol/L vs 8.60±1.90 mmol/L,159.50±10.40 μmol/L vs 148.90±10.70 μmol/L,P＜0.05).The incidence of urinary micro albumin was significantly higher in obesity group than in control group (79.4％ vs 46.7 ％,P＜ 0.01).Blood pressure,pulse pressure difference,BMI,fasting blood glucose,serum levels of ereatinine,urinary NAG,Cys-C,BUN and urinary micro albumin were the risk factors for renal function impairement in primary hypertension patients (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Renal function impairement is related with obesity in primary hypertension patients.
