Objective To explore the effect of self-management health education on promoting the medical compliance of patients with metabolic syndrome. Methods Fifty-six patients with metabolic syn-drome were divided into the observation group and the control group at random, with 28 patients in each group. The self-management health education was only given to the observation group, the control group was given rou-tine instruction. After three months, the patients' medical compliance and the ecological parameters (fasting blood glucose, 2 hours' postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, triglyceride) were tested, the re-suits went through χ2 test and t test. Results The observation group had a better medical compliance than that of the control group, and the biochemieal parameters were greatly alleviated. Conclusions Nursing inter-vention is an ef-feetive measure to improve the medical compliance of patients with metabolic syndrome.

Objective To evaluated the safety and clinical efficacy of CT-guided percutaneous radioactive 125I seeds implantation in treatment of spinal metastatic tumors.Methods Totally 20 cases (23 lesions) of spinal metastatic tumors with spinal compression and severe back pain were treated by CT-guided percutaneous 125I seeds implantation.Intractable pain and nerve function before and after therapy were evaluated.And the postoperative cumulative local tumors control rates and cumulative survival rates were calculated.Results The median follow-up period was 14 months (range 7-32months).There was no patient lost follow-up.And no severe complication occurred.Intractable pain significantly relieved one month after therapy.The neural retention rate of 12 patients with nerve function impairment was 85.00% (17/20) and the neural function recovery rate was 30.00% (6/20) three months after 125 I seeds'implantation.The local tumors control rates in 3-,6-,and 12-month were 100%,100% and 90%,respectively.The survival rates in 6-and 12-month was 100%and 78.81%,respectively.Conclusion CT-guided percutaneous radioactive 125I seeds implantation for spinal metastatic tumors is safe and feasible.It can relief pain and improve neural function effectively.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for pedigree affected with hereditary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (HNDI).
METHODS:
Next generation sequencing (NGS) with an osteology system gene panel was carried out for the proband. Suspected mutation was validated by Sanger sequencing of two relatives with similar symptoms and two unaffected relatives from the pedigree.
RESULTS:
The proband was found to carry a c.856C>T mutation of the AVPR2 gene. The same mutation was detected in the two relatives with similar symptoms and one unaffected healthy relative.
CONCLUSION
The HNDI in this pedigree may be attributed to the c.856C>T mutation of the AVPR2 gene.

The clinical data of 5 patients with occupational contact dermatitis caused by methyl chlorobutyrate treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College and Mamiao Township Hospital of Jinxiang County from September to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were all males aged 33-47 years with a history of exposure to methyl chlorobutyrate 1 to 4 d before the onset of symptoms. Three patients were hospitalized and 2 patients were treated in outpatient clinic. The clinical manifestations were erythema on the trunk or extremities of varying degrees, scattered with blisters and bullae of different sizes, with thin and clear blisters, local ulceration and exudation; no erosion or ulceration was found in the oral cavity and vulva. All 5 patients had elevated white blood cell counts, and 2 patients had abnormal liver function. All patients received symptomatic treatment with topical drugs. Three hospitalized patients were given methylprednisolone and loratadine; in addition, 1 case also received human immunoglobulin and moxifloxacin hydrochloride injection and 2 cases received hepatoprotective drugs. Two outpatients were given prednisone acetate and loratadine for treatment. Three hospitalized patients were all improved and discharged after 14-30 d of treatment. The rash of 2 outpatients subsided after 14 d of treatment, and there was no recurrence after 1-month follow-up. The occupational contact dermatitis caused by methyl chlorobutyrate is primary irritant contact dermatitis, often manifested as erythema and blisters on the trunk or limbs, and timely anti-allergic treatment can effectively control the disease.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of coplanar template-assisted CT guided radioactive seeds implantation in the treatment of pancreatic carcinoma. Methods A total of 22 advanced pancreatic carcinoma patients underwent CT guided radioactive seeds implantation were retrospectively analyzed.Ten patients were treated with coplanar template-assisted with an average age of(65±10)years(48 to 77 years).Tweleve patients were treated without coplanar template assist with an average age of(68±13) years (47 to 84 years). The preoperative planning designs and postoperative dosimetry verifications were performed for all patients.The dose related parameters including D90,MPD,V100,V150and V200were compared between pre and post operation by t test. The operating time were also evaluated between the two groups. Results Overall the 22 patients were treated successfully without serious surgery-related complications. An average of 26 seeds were implanted in the coplanar template assisted implantation group,and 23 seeds were implanted in the non template-assisted implantation group. Preoperative V100in coplanar template group and non template group were(94.45 ± 1.32)% and(93.27 ± 1.37)% separately. Postoperative V100in both groups were(89.31 ± 2.58)% and(85.25 ± 4.35)% separately. Postoperative D90in both groups were (147.32±7.12)Gy and(149.25±4.86)Gy separately.Postoperative V150in both groups were(57.83±7.74)% and(63.97±7.75)% separately.Preoperative D90in both groups were(152.41±6.78)Gy and(153.30±7.79) Gy separately. Preoperative V150in both groups were(58.61 ± 14.11)% and(62.45 ± 6.49)% separately. Postoperative MPD in both groups were(87.64±10.60)Gy and(87.12±7.66)Gy separately.Postoperative V200in both groups were(34.12±7.67)%,(39.42±7.18)% separately.Preoperative MPD in both groups were (82.12±7.81)Gy and(83.43±4.86)Gy separately.Preoperative V200in both groups were(29.04±10.64)%, (36.11 ± 7.22)% separately. Compared with preoperative plans, the mean value of D90and V100decreased while the mean value of MPD and V200increased in postoperative verifications in both coplanar template assist CT guided radioactive seeds implantation group and non template-assisted group.However,there was no significant difference between pre and post operation except for V100(P<0.05). The operating time of coplanar template assist group and non template-assisted group were(44.3±12.4)min and(60.0±12.8)min respectively. The difference of operating time between two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with the treatment without template assist, coplanar template-assisted brachytherapy could be more accurate in preoperative plans optimization,and shorten the operation time and improve the patients'tolerance.
