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.

A new ion chromatography was developed for the determination of clodronate disodium and its related substances. A suppressed conductivity detection was used. The analytical column was an IonPac AS11-HC anion-exchange column. The column temperature was maintained at 30 ℃. The potassium hydroxide solution was used as the eluent at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min. For the determination of content and related substances,an isocratic elution program and a gradient elution program were performed, respectively.A good linear relationship was observed in the concentration range of clodronate disodium of 0.0568-0.1895 g/L(r=0.9999). The average recoveries of the injection and the capsules were 100.1%(RSD=0.7%) and 98.9%(RSD=0.6%),respectively. The limit of detection was 0.3 ng. The related substances gained a completely chromatography separation with the principal peak. The present method is accurate, sensitive and simple, which provides a new reliable analytical method for the quality control of clodronate disodium and its preparations.

Objective To explore the effects ofDoctor-nurse Integratingmode on the operation room nursing quality improvement. Methods From July 2014 to Dec. 2014,11 423 operations in our hospital were chosen as control group,while 10 897 operations from Jan. 2015 to June 2015 as intervention group.An administrating group of Doctor-nurse Integrating mode was formed, with both doctors and nurses acting as quality controllers. A144 Regular Meetings System was also formed. The author retrospected and analyzed 11 423 negative accidents which occurred during operation. Management details and responsibilities were specified, and training was enhanced. All these were monitored, controlled, implemented and improved by operation doctors, anaesthesia doctors and operation room nurses. Results The rate of negative accidents dropped from 1.226%(140/11 423) to 0.340%(37/10 897) since the implementation of Doctor-nurse Integrating mode of operation quality control. Conclusions Doctor-nurse Integrating mode of operation quality control has positive effects on the improvement of operation nursing quality.

Objective:To observe efficacy of Weichangshu in treatment of diabetic gastroparesis(DGP).Methods:96 cases of DGP conformed with the criteria were randomly divided into two groups.They were treated by oral administration of Weichangshu and Mosapride respectively for 4 weeks in addition to original treatment program for controlling blood sugar.Changes of clinical symptoms,FBG and P2hBG,gastric antrum-duodenum interdigestive period migrating motion compound wave(MMC)and electrogastrogram(EGG)before and after treatment were investigated.Results:Clinical symptoms were significantly improved in both groups.The markedly effective rate was 62.50% and the total effective rate was 91.67% in the Weichangshu group,and the corresponding index was 60.42% and 89.58% in the Mosapride group.After treatment,MMC significantly improved in both groups,with significant differences in lasting time of phase Ⅱ,and phase Ⅲ,and the contraction amplitude as compared with those before treatment(P

Objective To explore the feasibility of endoscopic thyroidectomy without the use of ultrasonic scalpel.Methods Monopolar high frequency electrosurgical unit was used to complete endoscopic thyroidectomy in 6 cases of thyroid benign tumors.Results All the operations were completed successfully.The operation time was 80~200 min(mean,110 min) and the intraoperative blood loss was 25~50 ml(mean,36 ml).The patients got out-of-bed activities and took liquid diets at a mean of 24 hours postoperatively.No complications was found.The drainage tube was removed on 2 days after operation and the patients were discharged from hospital at 3~5 days.Conclusions Use of high frequency electrosurgical unit for endoscopic thyroidectomy is safe and feasible.

Laser peripheral iridotomy ( LPI) is one of the main therapy for glaucoma due to its reliable efficacy of widening peripheral angle and therefore decreasing intraocular pressure by partially relieving pupillary block. The parameters of the anterior chamber angle following the LPI are the main evaluation indexes. At present,the detecting and diagnosis technique for the anterior chamber angle is deeply advancing, including gonioscopy, ultrasound biomicroscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography and Pentacam. These methods offer some useful parameters and also present with some limits in the application respectively in the evaluation of anterior chamber and angle structure. This review focuses on the application of Methods mentioned above and morphologic changes of anterior chamber and angle structure following the LPI.

Adenosine is an important biological substance in the body. It exists extensively in intracellular and extracellular tissues. In physiological condition, adenosine remains at very low level intissue. However, under stress such as inflammation, ischemia, hypoxia, trauma, or pain etc. the adenosine concentrationwill be elevated dramatically,indicating that adenosine participates in multiple histopathological processes. Adenosine is a natural chemical messenger that binds to four subtypes( A1, A2A, A2B, A3 ) of adenosine receptors and by that, it regulates multiple kinds of physiological functions. Studies found that adenosine plays an important role in the central nervous system, cardiovascular system and coagulation system. In recent years, adenosine has been seen as an attractive option to improve the treatment of glaucoma and retinal diseases. The effects of adenosine in ophthalmology were as follows: adjusting intraocular pressure, inhibiting retinal angiogenesis, dilating retinal blood vessels, regulating retinal nerve conduction, protecting retinal photoreceptors and ganglion cells, arresting the inflammatory response. This article discusses the research progress in adenosine and its receptors as well as biological products of adenosine and projects the application of adenosine in ophthalmology.
