ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical effiect and toxicity of Aidi injection and Huaier particles combined with interventional therapy for primary liver cancer patients.Methods 43 paients with primary liver cancer were randomly divided into two groups:the treatment group 22 cases(Aidi injection and Huaier particles combined with interventional therapy to the primary liver cancer)and the control group 21 cases(treated only with intervention therapy of liver cancer).The recent efficiency and toxicity of the two groups were compared.Results The effective rate of the treatment group was 59.1%,and in control group was 33.3%,and the differences was significant(P＜0.01).In the treatment group,clinical benefit rate was 86.4%higher than than of the control group(71.4%),and the difference was significant(P＜0.05);The treatment group significantly improved the quality of life of patients,T cell and NK cell activity were improved,and better than the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of gastrointestinal reactions and neutropenia rate in treatment group was lower than the control group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Aidi injection and Huaier Granule interventional therapy could improve the curative effect of primary liver cancer、the immune activity、quality of patients life,and the adverse effects.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To assess the life quality of the patients with tongue cancer after operation.Methods:80 cases of tongue cancer following surgery during 1994 to 1998 were reviewed with questionaire.Scords of University of Washington Quality o f Life (UW-QOL) were analysed to evaluate their life quality.Results:(1) 3-year survival rate was 72.5%,higher survival rate was observed in the patients with I and II stage lesion than those with Ⅲ and Ⅳ stages.(2) 58 cases of survivers had UW-QOL average score of 618. Some patients had serious disability in mastication, swallowing,speaking and shoulder movement.(3)Patients retaining mandible or with skin flap repair had higher quality of life than the others.Conclusion:Following surgery,tongue cancer patients still maintain comparatively high quality of life.Reconstruction of mandibular or tongue is very importent for the life quality of the patients.
