ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of re-radiotherapy combined with TS-1 (tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule) in treatment of local recurrent esophageal carcinoma.Methods A total of 63 esophageal carcinoma patients who recurred after the first course radiation treatment admitted to Jiangdu People's Hospital of Yangzhou during January 1,2012 to June 30,2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Twenty-seven of them treated with re-radiotherapy combined with TS-1 were deemed as the research group and 36 of them treated with radiotherapy alone were deemed as the control group based on different treatment.Then the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.Results The objective response rates were 77.8％ (21/27) and 50.0％ (18/36) respectively in the research group and control group,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.048,P =0.025).The median survival time in the two groups were 21.6 months and 13.7 months,the 1-year (74.1％) and 2-year (44.4％) survival rates of the research group were both higher than those of the control group (52.8％ and 30.6％,respectively),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =6.086,P =0.013).The major adverse effects of the research group and control group during the treatment were radiation oesophagitis (92.6％ vs.80.5％),radiation pneumonia (18.5％ vs.19.4％),myelosuppression (96.3％ vs.77.8％) and gastrointestinal reactions (25.9％ vs.19.4％).Most of them were 1-2 grade,and there were no statistically significant differences (x2 =0.975,P =0.323;x2 =0.009,P =0.926;x2 =2.941,P =0.086;x2 =0.375,P =0.540).Conclusion The treatment of re-radiotherapy combined with TS-1 for local recurrent esophageal carcinoma can improve the efficacy and prolong survival period,and the adverse reactions are tolerable.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the influence of different blood glucose level at hospitalization on no-reflow and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI),but without diabetes after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:A total of 678 non-diabetic AMI patients undergoing PCI were selected.Ac-cording to blood glucose level at hospitalization,patients were divided into normal group (n=312),blood glucose level higher group (higher group ,n=201)and blood glucose level extremely high group (extremely high group,n=165).Clinical characteristics,no-reflow after PCI and incidence of cardiovascular events within 30d after PCI were compared among three groups.Results:Compared with normal group and higher group,there were significant rise in age,percentages of >1 location of myocardial infarction and Killip's ≥ class II,white blood cell count instant af-ter hospitalization,peak value of creatine kinase (CK)and CK-isoenzyme (CK-MB)in extremely high group,P <0.01 all;Compared with normal group,the age,peak value of CK and CK-MB significantly rose in higher group (P<0.01 all).Along with blood glucose rose,incidence rate of no-reflow significantly increased (17.0% vs.38.8%vs.49.7%),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)on 30d after PCI gradually reduced [(68.6± 5.7)% vs. (62.2±6.4)% vs.(55.6±6.9)%]in above-mentioned 3 groups in turn,there was significant difference between any two groups,P <0.05 or <0.01.Conclusion:Stress hyperglycemia possesses great influence on no-reflow and prognosis in non-diabetic AMI patients after PCI.
ABSTRACT
Objective By combining the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) health care service and the current community puerperal women's health management, to explore the feasibility of TCM health management in the grass-roots community on puerperal women’s breast-feeding. Methods 440 patients meeting the inclusion criteria of puerperal women according to the neighborhood of residence were recruited into a non TCM intervention group of 225 people, and a TCM intervention group of 215 people. The non TCM intervention group was given health guidance on puerperal women. On such basis, the TCM intervention group was further cooperated with appropriate technical guidance of TCM. Puerperal women breastfeeding before and after the intervention was studied. Results After the intervention, the milk shortage of puerperal women breastfeeding rate of TCM intervention group was higher than the non TCM intervention group, 76.9% (60/78) vs. 56.9% (41/72), and mixed feeding rate was lower 21.8% (17/78) vs. 40.3%(29/72), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.916, 5.178; P < 0.05). The rate of breast feeding and mixed feeding rate were also statistically different between the TCM intervention group and the non TCM intervention group 78.1%(168/215) and 17.2% (37/215) vs. 62.7% (141/225) and 33.3% (75/225), (χ2=11.860, 14.226; P<0.01). Conclusion TCM health management guidance on puerperal women in the community can effectively improve the hypogalactia puerperal women's breastfeeding rate.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To establish an RP-HPLC analysis of Carthamin in mice and to study its pharmacokinetics.METHODS:The serum concentration of Carthamin was determined by RP-HPLC.The blood concentration-time curve was established and the main pharmacokinetic parameters were computed.RESULTS:The linear range of Carthamin was 0.558～55.8 ?g?L-1(r=0.999 2),with the lowest limit of detection at 0.005 ?g?L-1Carthamin in vivo assumed two-compartment model and rapid absorption.CONCLUSION:The proposed method is simple,sensitive and reproducible,and it met the standard for pharmacokinetic study.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the mechanism of Pengjiayin preparation in the treatment of ectopic endometrium in SD rats. Methods To study the mechanism of Wudan Pill and Pengjiayin preparation in the treatment of ectopic endometrium in immunological way. SD rat models of endometriosis were established, and the expression of Survivin and Caspase-3 protein associated with apoptosis was detected in ectopic and eutopic endometrium in rats with the immunohistochemical method, simultaneously apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL. Results Compared with the control group, the expression of the caspase-3 was increased in the low dosage group, the midium dosage group and the high dosage group of the Pengjiayin preparation, and the increase was also observed with the Wudan Pill group (P
