Objective To investigate the correlation of Cathepsin D and P selectin expression with the clinico-pathologic features and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Immunohistochemistry (S-P method) was applied to detect the expression of Cathepsin D and P selection in 30 NSCLC specimens. Results The positive rates of cathepsin D and P selectin were 66 7% and 76 7% respectively. Cathepsin D expression in NSCLC was positive relation with the tumor size, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis(P0 05). The 3 years survival rate of the patients with the expression of both the Cathepsin D and P selectin was much lower than that of the patients with negative expression of both the Cathepsin D and P selectin(P

Objective To observe the curative effect of chymotrypsin and danshen mixture treatment to moist skin damage caused by radiotherapy.Methods 90 NPC patients who underwent radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy were randomized into the observation group(46 cases)and the control group(44 cases).Patients in the observation group received external application of chymotrypsin and danshen mixture;while patients in the control group received laser irradiation treatment.The healing progress of skin injury of two groups was observed and compared.Results Time of detumescence,pain relieving,itching and healing of the observation group was shorter than the control group.Nursing effect for level 2 & 3 radiation-induced skin injury in the observation group was better than the control group.Conclusions Chymotrypsin and danshen mixture has a great nursing efficacy on radiation-induced skin injury.It should be used in the early stage.

Objective To systematically evaluate the safety and effectiveness of interventional uterine artery embolization (UAE) in treating symptomatic uterine fibroids by comparing it with surgical therapy. Methods Computer retrieval of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), Wanfang data, etc. was conducted. The retrieval time was from the inception to July 2014. The academic papers that were related to the randomly controlled test (RCT) of UAE and surgical treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids were collected, and the reference literatures were also searched for. Two reviewers screened the literatures according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the useful data were extracted and the qualities were evaluated. Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.2 software. Results A total of 6 RCTs were finally obtained, including 732 patients in total. Meta-analysis indicated that both the hospitalization time and recovery time in UAE group were shorter than those in surgery group. No significant differences in health -related quality of life, patient’s satisfaction, intra -operation complications, the recurrence rate and main complications within one year existed between UAE group and surgery group; while the differences in the incidence of minor complications within one year and the need of further intervention rate during 2 -5 years were statistically significant, the occurrence of these minor complications in UAE group being higher than that in the surgery group. The pregnancy rate and live-birth rate in UAE group were significantly lower than those in the surgery group. Conclusion Compared with surgery, UAE has many advantages, such as technically-safe, excellent therapeutic effect, simply-manipulated, easy-nursing, mini-invasive, quick-recovery and easily-accepted by patient, etc. although there is risk of receiving intervention treatment again. The influence of UAE on the fertility, the influence of different embolic agents on the therapeutic effect of UAE, and the effectiveness of UAE for multiple uterine fibroids need to be further studied.

Objective To evaluate the effect of inpatient early palliative care (EPC) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients receiving concurrent radiochemotherapy. Methods Totally 130 NPC patients were divided into the experimental group (64 cases) and the control group (66 cases) according to random digit table. Both groups received routine nursing and anti-cancer therapy, in addition, the experimental group received inpatient EPC. Psychological pain, myelosuppression and hospitalization expenses were compared between two groups. Results After the inpatient EPC intervention, the Distress Thermometer (DT) scores of the control group vs. the experimental group was 3.53±1.45 vs. 4.32±1.29, the scores of quality of life was 86.03±6.24 vs. 101.7±8.82, the incidence of myelosuppression was 95.45% (63/66) vs. 56.25%(36/64), and the hospitalization expenses of the patients was 110 862.82±4 849.58 vs 105 047.75±2 751.41 yuan, there were significant differences between the two groups (t=3.274,-11.665, Z=-6.701, t=8.441, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions Inpatient EPC can be effective in reducing psychological distress, myelosuppression and the hospitalization expenses as well as improving the quality of life in NPC patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Purpose To analysis the CT manifestations of acinar cell carcinomas of the pancreas (ACCs) in order to know more about its CT signs. Materials and Methods The plain and enhanced CT findings of 9 patients with AACs proved pathologically were analyzed retrospectively. Results The main image ifndings of the patients were as follows:①the pancreas grew with exophytic dilatability;②they tended to be large (average diameter was 4.7 cm), with round or oval shape; ③ the lesions showed hypodense on enhanced scan and the solid areas showed slight enhancement in the arterial phase compared with normal pancreas;④most lesions had uniform or partial thin enhanced ring;⑤most lesions demonstrated cystic or necrotic;⑥few had pancreatic/biliary ductal dilatation and peripancreatic involvement;⑦few showed internal calciifcation or intratumoral hemorrhage. Conclusion Plain CT scan and enhanced scan are signiifcant in locating and differentiating acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas.

Objective To test the hypothese that metabolic syndrome is closely associated with inflammation, we compare the difference of inflammatory factors and von Willebrand factor between essential hypertensives and hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome. Methods According to the new definition of metabolic syndrome by IDF 2005, one hundred thirty eight consecutive hospitalized essential hypertensives were catelogorized into EH+MS group, n=99 and EH alone group, n=39. Biochemistry assay, white blood cell (WBC) counts, serum high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) and plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF) were measured. The relationship between hsCRP, vWF and MS were analysed. Results Waist circumference, body mass index, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), WBC, serum hsCRP and plasma vWF were increased(P

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of VSD combined with external fixator in the treatment of open tibial and fibular fractures in Tibet plateau. Methods From August 2014 to August 2015, totally 16 cases of open tibial and fibular fractures were treated in our department, including 12 males and 4 females with an average 39. 4 years-old. There were 4 cases of proximal and mid tibial fractures while 12 cases were distal fractures. Debridement, vacuum sealing drainage combined with external fixator for stabilization of fractures was performed in all patients after general condition was improved. A vacuum sealing drainage change or second stage wound closure or soft tissue coverage was undergone after 7 days. Bone union time by X-ray and complications were recorded. Results All wounds were healed by second stage. Twelve patients months were followed up ( by calling back to the hospital ) for an average 18 months ( 12 to 24 months ) , 4 cases were lost to follow-up. X-ray demonstrated that bone union was obtained at a mean 5. 5th month (3 to 7 months). There were 9 cases (75%) obtained a first phase of fracture healing, while 3 cases ( 25%) of delayed healing. Pin-track infection was occurred in two patients and was cured by conservative treatment. No complications of deep infection, graft skin or flap necrosis, malunion, nonunion or osteomyelitis was seen during follow-up. Conclusions Vacuum sealing drainage combined with external fixator for treatment of open tibial and fibular fracture in Tibet can rapidly and effectively stabilize the fracture, and simultaneously safely and effectively seal the wound, reduce the wound healing time, promote fracture healing and lower the complication rates.

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effect of Lamivudine on controlling hepatitis B virus DNA replication.

METHODSThe liver disease patients were divided into two groups, the treated group (n=64) was given Lamivudine 100 mg once a day for one year and was additionally given liver protection drugs according to their liver function, while the control group (n=30) was given common liver protection drugs. The blood routine test, liver function and the viral markers were detected at defined times.

RESULTSThe results showed that after one year treatment of chronic hepatitis B with Lamivudine, the recovery rate of ALT was 90.7%, the negative conversion rate of HBV DNA was 73.1% showing a significant difference as compared with the control group (P<0.05). The negative seroconversion rate of HBeAg was 50%, HBeAg/anti HBe changing rate was 38.2%, that had no significant different as compared with the control group (P<0.05). The percentage for disease relapse and second elevation of ALT was 3.1% in therapeutic group that was significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05). Two cases with severe hepatitis in the treated group were all alive.

CONCLUSIONSLamivudine could effectively control HBV DNA replication, making ALT normal, it also could decrease the relapse rate of chronic hepatitis B and raise the survival rate of the patients with liver disease.

Objective:To analyze the sleep quality before treatment and related risk factors of sleep disorder in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods: Totally 143 patients first diagnosed as nasopharyngeal carcinoma were selected [ average age (43 ± 10) years, 100 males and 43 females] in a NPC ward of one hospital, the Chinese version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI, total score ＞ 5 diagnosed as sleep disorder) was used to investigate the sleep quality before treatment, and the logistic regression analysis was used to analyze related factors of the sleep disorder before treatment Results: The rate of sleep disorder was 50.3％. The logistic regression analysis showed that age was a risk factor of sleep disorder before treatment in patients with NPC (OR = 1.04, 95％ CI: 1.01-1.08), while gender, culture degree, clinical stage, body mass index were not correlated with sleep disorder (Ps＞0.05). Conclusion: It suggests that patients with NPC may have a higher incidence of sleep disorder before treatment, and older patients may be more prone to pre-treatment sleep disorder.
