Objective To investigate the clinical effect of methotrexate combined with dilatation and curettage on the treatment of cesarean section scar pregnancy and the effect on HCG (chorionic gonadotropin). Methods 130 cases with cesarean section scar pregnancy admitted in Taizhou hospital from January 2016 to March 2017 were randomly divided into two groups. The control group wasreceived dilatation and curettage. The study group was given methotrexate combined with dilatation and curettage.The effect and the influence to HCG in the two groups were compared. Results The effective rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in HCG level between the two groups before treatment. The levels of HCG in the study group were significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Methotrexate combined with curettage on the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy, can improve the therapeutic effect, reduce postoperative bleeding and hospitalization time, reduce the level of HCG.

OBJECTIVETo detect the mutation sites of exons 2, 20, 11A and 11B in Chinese patients with breast cancer.
METHODSA total of 86 patients with breast cancer without blood relationship were randomly selected. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and double-strand DNA direct sequencing were applied.
RESULTSNo mutations, especially deletions were found in exons 2, 20 and 11 with carefully checking the sequencing results, although they were reported frequently in Europe populations with breast cancer. We found one polymorphism in exon 11, with high frequency, and in the test of chi-square, the frequencies of two alleles had no significant difference between the patients and controls.
CONCLUSIONThe above results suggest this SNP may not be associated with the breast cancer in Chinese population, and indicates that the gene sequence of what we have studied doesn't account much for occurrence of the breast cancer in the population of China.

Objective:To explore the effect of patient engagement on medication safety for patients with chronic disease through a systematic review.Methods:Relevant randomized controlled trials of patient engagement on medication safety were searched from PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP database. The literature was screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data extraction and literature quality evaluation was conducted on the selected literature.Results:A total of 15 eligible studies was included. Most of the studies occurred in outpatient and home settings, and the subjects were patients with chronic diseases. Patient engagement strategies can be divided into three categories: (1) patient engagement in medical decision-making; (2) patient engagement in medication adjustment; (3) patient engagement in medication management. The outcomes of medication safety included medication adherence, medication knowledge, medication beliefs, adverse events and medication errors. Intervention strategies for patients to actively engage in medication safety significantly improved patients′ medication knowledge and beliefs, but did not improve medication adherence of patients.Conclusion:Promoting patient active engagement is an effective intervention measure to improve patients ′ perception of medication safety. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
