Objective To explore the lived experience of children with acute leukemia about acupoint therapy during chemotherapy, so as to provide the theoretical and practice evidence for development of more scientific nursing measures. Methods Totally 14 children with acute leukemia participated in half-structured interviews regarding their experience of acupoint therapy.The NVivo 10.0 software was used to supervise, excavate and seek data.The data were analyzed by the Co1aizzi phenomenological methodology. Results Five themes were extracted including benefit sense,a sense of accomplishment of self-fulfilling, a sense of attachment to medical, sigh with emotion the magic of traditional Chinese medicine and bearable mild discomfort. Conclusions The experience of children with acute leukemiais positive feelings for the most part, nursing staff should listen to them and give corresponding nursing according to specific circumstances in order to improve the quality of nursing.

ObjectiveTo conduct the sequencing and preliminarily analysis of the whole genome of BCG Shanghai D2PB302 strain (hereinafter referred to as BCG Shanghai D2 strain), which has been used exclusively for the vaccine production in China. MethodsThe DNA of of BCG Shanghai D2 strain (D2-JIA12-1) was extracted, and the whole genome was sequenced by Pacbio-RS Ⅱ. The sequence data was assembled by Smrtlink and polished with the illumina data. Genes, tRNA and rRNA were predicted based on the sequence data. The functional annotation of predicted genes was performed through BLASTP. The IVE-TB antigen gene and MTBVAC were selected as the target sequences to be compared with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (NC_000962.3). ResultsThe sequence length of BCG Shanghai D2 strain was 4 045 232 bp, and the GC content was 65.66%. A total of 4 259 protein-encoding genes were predicted, with an average gene size of 933 bp. 2 476 genes had biological functions and others were hypothetical proteins.144 virulence genes were obtained by comparing with the VFDB. There were 29 type Ⅶ secretion system genes and 10 PE/PPE protein family genes. ConclusionThe whole genome sequence of BCG Shanghai D2 strain is clarified. It lays a broad foundation for subsequent detection of the stability of major antigen genes.
