ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of portal vein implantation pump for chemotherapy in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) after radical surgery.Methods The clinical data of 97 patients with ICC who underwent radical surgery in Henan People's Hospital from June 2012 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the 97 patients,14 patients received portal venous pump chemotherapy (portal group),33 patients received peripheral venous chemotherapy (peripheral group),and 50 patients did not receive postoperative chemotherapy (control group).There were no statistically significant differences in gender and age between the three groups.The results of survival analysis indicated that the disease-free survival (DFS) period and overall survival (OS) time in the portal group and the peripheral group were significantly better than that in control group (both P ＜ 0.05).In addition,despite the lack of statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05),for the control of intrahepatic metastasis,portal vein pump chemotherapy was better than that of systemic chemotherapy via peripheral vein,and almost all side effects of chemotherapy in the portal group were lower than those in the peripheral group.Conclusion Portal vein pump chemotherapy can improve the prognosis of intrahepatic bile duct patients,especially for the control of intrahepatic metastasis,and can reduce systemic side effects of chemotherapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the effect of omeprazole on plasma concentration, efficacy and adverse reactions of capecitabine in patients with colon cancer.@*Methods@#Seventy-two patients with colon cancer treated with capecitabine were analysed retrospective. The patients treated with capecitabine combined with omeprazole were identified as experimental group and the capecitabine treatment alone as control group.The differences of blood concentration and the side effects of capecitabine between these two groups were compared.@*Results@#The plasma concentration of 5-Fluorouracilum in experimental group was (126.25±50.59) μg/ml, without significant difference of (123.09±56.70) μg/ml in control group (P=0.121). The incidence of Ⅲ to Ⅳ degree bone marrow suppression, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and hand-foot syndrome in experimental group were 13.8%, 0%, 0% and 19.4%, respectively. In control group, the incidence of Ⅲ to Ⅳ degree bone marrow suppression, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and the hand-foot syndrome were 11.1%, 0%, 0% and 19.4%, respectively, without significant difference of experimental group (P>0.05). The incidence of acid reflux and heartburn in the control group was 72.2%, significantly higher than 44.4% of the experimental group (P<0.05). The objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival time (PFS) in these two groups were 30.6% and 33.3%, and 8.0 month and 8.5 month, respectively, without significant difference (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#The intravenous omeprazole attenuates reflux and heartburn of colon cancer patients treated with capecitabine, without affecting its plasma concentration and side effects and has no impact on the PFS of these patients.
ABSTRACT
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have a strong self-renewal ability and multi-directional differentiation potential, so they are ideal cells for cell transplantation, and are widely used in the treatment of diabetes, osteoarthritis and other diseases. BMSCs could increase insulin and C peptide levels in patients by a variety of mechanisms, and a good blood glucose control could be achieved without exogenous insulin therapy. Recently, a number of clinical studies confirmed the safety and effectiveness of BMSCs transplantation in the treatment of diabetes. BMSCs transplantation has also achieved good results for treating complications of diabetes, such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic peripheral vascular disease, diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetic bone disease and others. However, due to the lack of standardized transplantation regimens, BMSCs transplantation has been limited in the clinical application. This review summarized the status and research progress of BMSCs transplantation in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications.
