ABSTRACT
Day-care chemotherapy boasts the advantage of shorter treatment time, higher treatment efficacy and lower patients′ burden, as compared to the conventional hospitalization pattern. In view of treatment needs of patients, better therapeutic outcomes and patient satisfaction, the authors analyzed the problems and shortages in the current management mode of chemotherapy in breast cancer care. With the specialized department taking the lead, a multidisciplinary collaboration was built among doctors, nurses and pharmacists.This integrated new mode combining doctors, nurses, pharmacists and patients together was further optimized. This new mode can provide a safer and easier treatment and set up a whole process management for chemotherapy of breast cancer care.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of peripheral blood genomic DNA methylation on the relationship between methyl donor status and risk of breast cancer.Methods A case-control study was conducted.Each three hundred breast cancer cases and controls were consecutively recruited.Food frequency questionnaire was used to collect dietary information.Amounts on folate,methionine,choline and betaine intake were calculated.Blood samples were collected for DNA extraction.Peripheral blood genomic DNA methylation was measured by using the Methyl FlashTM Methylated DNA Quantification Kit.Pathway analysis was used to examine the effect of genomic DNA methylation on the relations between methyl donor status and risk of breast cancer.Results The genome DNA methylation rates were 0.46％ ± 0.25％ and 0.53％ ± 0.34％,respectively on both cases and controls,with differences statistically significant (P＜0.01).Results from the pathway analysis,results showed that methionine consumption was related to genomic DNA methylation (β=0.065,P＜ 0.05) while genomic DNA methylation was related to the risk of breast cancerk (β =-0.027,P＜ 0.05),respectively.Conclusions The level of peripheral blood genomic DNA methylation in breast cancer cases was significantly lower than that in the controls.Genomic DNA methylation seemed to have played a mediated role between methionine and the risk of breast cancer.

ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the experience of peri-operative emotion management of male patients with breast cancer. Methods The clinical data of 11 male patients with breast cancer were analyzed to summarize methods for the emotion management before, during and after chemo-radiotherapy. Result All the patients took a good attitude and complete the therapy after implementation of emotion management. Conclusion Peri-operative psychological management is of help for their alleviating the negative moods of helplessness, strengthening their confidence, stabilizing and improving the emotions, and finally making them cooperative in the treatment and nursing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)and venous port access (VPA)on the complication incidence of breast cancer.Methods A total of 191 breast cancer patients with VPA and 218 ones with PICC for chemotherapy from January 2012 to January 2014 were involved.The two groups were compared in respect of incidence of complications during intubation.Result The complication incidence in the VPA group was lower than the PICC group(P<0.05). Conclusion VPA is an ideal pathway for intravenous infusion in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
