ABSTRACT
New oral fluoropyrimidines,such as capecitabine and S-1,have been widely used for elderly patients with a certain efficiency and slight toxicity.Fluorouracil combined with platinum program probably enhances the effectiveness,but also increases the incidence of adverse reactions.There are a few clinical reports about triple-drug combination for elderly patients,but the toxicity is obvious and the efficacy is not certain.
ABSTRACT
The peritoneum is one of the most common sites of gastric cancer recurrence or metastasis.Peritoneal metastasis seriously affects the patients life quality and shortens patients survival time,so early diagnosis and active treatment have a major impact on the prognosis. Continuous studies of some biomarkers and extensive using of ncw imaging technology make the early diagnosis of peritoneal metastasis more promising.Simultaneously,with the rapid development of intraperitoneal chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy,there are more options in the treatment.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Chinese kidney-tonifying herb is commonly used in orthopedics department. However, individual effects of different ingredients remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To observe influence of effective ingredients of Chinese kidney-tonifying drugs on bone healing and hemorheology of rats with bone injury. METHODS: Rat model of fracture of shaft of the femur was established, and treated by intragastric administration separately with extractive rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids, epimedium total flavonoids, dodder total flavonoids, naringin, quercetin and hesperidin. Blood and bone samples were harvested after 21 days to detect the extent of bone healing and hemorheology indexes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The effective constituents of different Chinese kidney-tonifying drugs were beneficial to bone healing, and the effect of rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids and epimedium total flavonoids was better than the other drugs. Rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids and epimedium total flavonoids effectively inhibited blood viscosity under low shear, and reduced erythrocyte aggregation index and the aggregation and adhesion of platelet (P < 0.05), but it had no evident effects on erythrocyte deformation. This shows that the effective ingredient of the Chinese kidney-tonifying drugs can promote bone healing and exert certain effects on hemorheology. In particular, rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids exhibits the best effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect mechanism of anticancer synergic (KangAiZengXiao,KAZX) decoction on gastric cancer in immunologic deficit rats with implanted tumor. Methods Forty rats were divided into normal control group(n=10), model group(n=15) and KAZX treating group(n=15). Model group and KAZX group were subcutaneously injected axillary the left upper limb with 0 5ml gastri cancer cells,MGC-803 cell(1?10 7/ml) after irradiated by 60 Co(dose:10Gy). Then the three groups were treated with KAZX decoction or distilled water every day, respectively. After three weeks, the rats were sacrificed,and blood WBC, the weight of spleen, activity of NK cell and transformation efficiency of lymphocyte were also detected.Results The rate of loaded tumor in KAZX group was significantly lower than in model group(20% vs 66 7%,P
