ABSTRACT
Objective:To research the efficacy and adverse reactions of compound matrine injection combined with chemotherapy in the patients with advanced gastric cancer. Methods:According to the order of admission, 68 patients with advanced gastric cancer were divided into the observation group (34 cases) and the control group (34 cases). The two groups of patients were given chemo-therapy, and the observation group was treated with compound matrine injection additionally. After 3 months treatment, the curative effect and KPS score before and after the treatment were compared between the two groups. And adverse drug reactions were recorded for the two groups. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group (44. 12%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (20. 59%,P<0. 05). After the treatment, the KPS score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the con-trol group (P<0. 05). The incidence of adverse drug reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The curative effect of compound matrine injection combined with chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer is notable, which can significantly improve the KPS score and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, and is worthy of promo-ted use in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the surgical outcomes between microsurgery lumbar discectomy and microendoscopic discectomy for lumbar disc herniation. Methods A prospective study was conducted on the surgical procedures for lumbar disc herniation.The target of our study was a group of 33 patients who underwent surgery by microsurgery lumbar discectomy(MSLD group)and 36 patients who underwent surgery by microendoscopic discectomy(MED group).The items investigated were the operation time,amount of bleeding,duration of hospitalization,pre-and postoperative scores based on judgment criteria for treatment of lumbar spine disorders established by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score,visual analog scales (VAS,0 to 10) for lumbago and sciatica before surgery and at discharge,perioperative complications.Results The mean duration of follow-up was 2 years and 2 months (11 months to 4 years).There were no significant differences between the 2 surgical procedures in the frequency of the pre-and postoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores or postoperative VAS for lumbar pain and sciatica,operation time and duration of hospitalization. Statistically significant differences were observed in amount of bleeding and operation time,but the differences were not large, and may not have been clinically significant.Conclusion Both microsurgery lumbar discectomy and microendoscopic discectomy are appropriate for lumbar disc herniation.
ABSTRACT
Experiments with lard show that the addition of 10% crude soya bean oil gives a protective index approaching that obtained by the addition of 0.005% of either propyl gallate or tetrahydroxyl-dimethyl-biphenyl (TDBP). In the presence of cupric or ferric salts, however, the percentage of soya bean oil has to be raised in order to obtain satisfactory protection of the lard against oxidation.Dry mixed rations prepared from wheat flour, soya flour, egg powder, dried carrot powder, sesame seeds, sucrose, salt and a suitable concentration of either crude soya bean oil, refined soya bean oil, lard, or lard plus 10% crude soya bean oil, have been kept at 30℃ for over three years without fat deterioration. The rations containing lard or lard plus crude soya bean oil did not give any indication of rancidity even after 160 weeks at 40℃. Under temperatures of 50? and 60℃, they only became rancid after 90 and 52 weeks respectively. Addition of either propyl gallate or TDBP gives only slight improvement in the keeping quality of the rations compounded with crude soya bean oil or refined soya bean oil, and somewhat greater improvement in the ration made with lard.The wrapping material has been shown to exert a profound influence on the keeping quality of the dry rations. Of the 9 different wrapping materials tested, cellophane has been found to be the best; aluminium foil and gum guaiac-treated paper were found also to be excellent, while waxed paper, propyf gallate-treated paper and ordinary untreated wrapping paper greatly accelerate the appearance of rancidity of the rations.
