ABSTRACT
Advanced severe lung cancer means the stage IIIB, IIIC, and IV lung cancer patients with a PS score of 2 to 4 points due to various related causes of lung cancer itself or the complication of anti-tumor drugs, with a high probability of benefiting from the existing systemic anti-tumor treatments. The diagnosis and treatment strategies emphasize the implementation of minimally invasive dynamic monitoring mutation targets and curative effects. Every drug that is useful to the patient should be used as possible, and making the best use of every drug as possible with the help of respiratory support therapy. Specific treatment concepts include combination therapy,alternating medication, paying equal attention to systemic therapy and local therapy, PS score assessment, upgrading and downgrading of drug use, and simultaneous treatment of cancer and lung itself.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of Zhigancao Decoction (ZD) containing serum on transient outward potassium current (I(to)) in isolated single ventricular myocyte of rabbits.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Single rabbit ventricular myocytes were isolated and divided into 6 groups, the normal group, the non-drug-containing serum group, and the ZD groups, they were treated with normal extracellular fluid alone or with ZD containing serum recording technique was used to observe the changes of I(to).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After treated with 5%, 10%, 20% and 40% ZD containing serum, the I(to) was inhibited and its peak value dropped from (16.1 +/- 1.4) PA/PF to (13.9 +/-1.5) PA/PF, (11.8 +/- 1.9) PA/PF, (8.3 +/- 1.5) PA/PF and (8.2 +/- 1.2) PA/PF respectively, and the effect could be eliminated by elution.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>ZD containing serum could inhibit the I(to) in isolated ventricular myocytes of rabbits in a concentration-dependent manner, which may be the mechanism of antiarrhythmic action of ZI).</p>
