ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of synchronous chemotherapy combined with spleen polypeptide on immune function in patients with esophageal cancer and cardiac cancer after operation. Methods Sixty postoperative patients of esophageal and esophagogastric junction carcinoma were collected in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical Universitythe from March 2013 to January 2014,and were randomly divided into two groups,including 30 cases were treated with simple chemotherapy as control group,and the other 30 cases were treated with chemotherapy combined with lineal polypeptides as experimental group. Results There were no significant differences in terms of CD3,CD4 and CD4/CD8 between the two groups before operation( P>0. 05) . After two cycles of chemotherapy,the CD3,CD4,CD4/CD8 of experimental group were all significantly higher than the control group((76. 08±8. 04)% vs. (38. 58±6. 40)%,(42. 91±7. 73)% vs. (42. 91±7. 73)%,1. 31 ±0. 21 vs. 1. 16±0. 22),and the differences were significant(P=0. 037,0. 022,0. 008). The survival quality of the experimental group was better than that of the control group ( P=0. 038 ) . The proportion of patients with WBC in the normal range of the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (80. 0% vs. 53. 3%,P=0. 028). The adverse reactions of the digestive system in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( acid reflux and heartburn:26. 7% vs. 63. 3%,P=0. 004;nausea and vomiting:33. 3% vs. 73. 3%,P=0. 002;loss of appetite:46. 7% vs. 80. 0%,P=0. 007) . Conclusion The treatment of the patients with esophageal cancer and cardiac cancer after chemotherapy with spleen peptides can improve immunity,and improve the quality of life of patients after chemotherapy and chemotherapy.
