ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of Xiaoaiping injection with rectum administration combined with conventional chemotherapy in the treatment of epithelial ovarian tumor. METHODS:60 patients diagnosed as epithelial ovari-an tumor were divided into observation group and control group according to the actual order,with 30 cases in each group. AU pa-tients received TC chemotherapy,4-6 cycles in total;And patients in control group received TC chemotherapy for 3 weeks,i.e. pa-clitaxel 175 mg/m2,3 h,i.v.+carboplatin AUC=5-7.5,1 h,i.v.. Based on this,observation group was additionally given Xiaoaip-ing injection with rectum administration,20-30 ml each time,once a day,2 weeks as a treatment course. Clinical effective rate, 1-year progression-free survival rate and median progression free survival and the incidence of adverse events were compared be-tween 2 groups. RESULTS:Effective rate of observation group was 83.33%,and higher than that of control group (53.33%);there was statistically significant difference (χ2=13.20,P<0.05);1-year progression-free survival rate of observation group was 86.67%,and median progression free survival was 11.3 months;those of control group were 63.33% and 7.2 months;there was statistically significant difference between 2 groups (P<0.01 or P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(χ2=0.53,P=0.47). CONCLUSIONS:Xiaoaiping injection with rectum administration combined with con-ventional chemotherapy in the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer show good curative effect and safety,high 1-year progres-sion-free survival rate and long median progression-free survival.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the optimal dosage of misoprostol administered in the rectum for dilation of the cervix. Methods Two hundred and forty women at 40-60 day gestational age without vaginal delivery history were randomly divided into three groups,with 80 cases in each group. Patients received 200,400 or 600μg of misoprostol rectally one hour before electrical vacuum abortions in group A,B and C,respectively. Cervical dilation,blood loss,and drug side effects in the three groups were compared. Venous blood samples were taken before vein anesthesia,and misoprostol acid concentration in the serum was tested by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results The analgesic rate was 100. 00%in all three dose groups, and cervical dilation rate was 23. 75%,46. 25%and 70. 00%in groups A,B and C,respectively. The severity of drug side effects such as vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain is dose-dependent. Blood concentration of misoprostal acid was(117±65),(206± 98),and(303±149)pg·mL-1 ,in groups A,B and C,respectively. Conclusion The recommended dose of misoprostol is 400 μg administered in rectum. Rectal administration of misoprostol is cheap,safe,and convenient,and therefore could be widely applied.
