AIM:To analyze the potential catego-ries and influencing factors of self concealment in breast cancer patients.METHODS:A total of 207 breast cancer patients from two hospitals in Anhui province were conveniently selected and investigat-ed with general information questionnaire,self con-cealment scale,perceived social support scale and chronic disease stigma scale.Potential profile analy-sis was used to explore the categories and charac-teristics of self concealment,and single factor anal-ysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of different categories.RE-SULTS:Self concealment of breast cancer patients was divided into two categories:low self conceal-ment group and high self concealment group.Logis-tic regression analysis showed that the main care-givers,comorbidities,perceived social support and sense of shame were the influencing factors of the potential profile of self concealment of breast can-cer patients(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:Breast cancer patients have obvious category characteristics.Medical staff should pay attention to the level of self concealment of breast cancer patients,and for-mulate precision strategies according to different categories of influencing factors.

Objective To investigate the expression of DcR3 mRNA in cells of acute leukemia(AL) and its clinical significance.Methods The DcR3 mRNA of bone marrow mononuclear cells(BMNC) in the patients with AL was detected by RTPCR.There were 28 AML cases,and 18 ALL cases.27 cases of non-malignant hematopathy were used as control group.The expression level of DcR3 mRNA in BMNC was detected with RT-PCR.Results The positive rate of DcR3 mRNA was 67.4% and gene expression level was 0.56?0.09 in AL group,while they were 40.7% and 0.39?0.19 in control group,there were significant differences(P0.05).The positive expression level of DcR3 mRNA increased when the white blood cell count was ≥30?109?L-1.Conclusion DcR3 gene might play a role by suppressing apoptosis in leukemogenesis.
