RESUMO
Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacies and toxicities either of pemetrexed or paclitaxel combined with oxaliplatin as a chemotherapy in postoperative with non‐small‐cell lung cancer(NSCLC) .Methods The clinical data collected from 86 patients who admitted into the first affiliated hospital of Kunming medical university from January 2010 to December 2011 who had been diagnosed with non‐small‐cell lung cancer(NSCLC) were retrospectively analyzed .All of these patients received the radical resection of pulmonary carcinoma ,in which 65 patients received pemetrexed combined with oxaliplatin treatment(named as peme‐trexed combination group) .Another 40 patients were treated with paclitaxel combined with oxaliplatin (named as paclitaxel combi‐nation group) .Survival analysis was evaluated by Kaplan‐Merie .Single factor analysis and COX regression model were employed to analyze the relationship between the influencing factors and the prognosis of disease .Results We found that neither OS (χ2 =0 .648 ,P=0 .421) nor PFS(χ2 =0 .758 ,P=0 .384)was statistical different between two groups .However ,the incidence of leucope‐nia above Ⅲ degrees was 34 .8% in pemetrexed combination group ,and 60 .0% in paclitaxel combination group(χ2 = 5 .469 ,P=0 .019) .The incidence of of ALT increase above Ⅲ degrees was 12 .2% in pemetrexed combination group ,and 35 .0% in paclitaxel combination group(χ2 =7 .238 ,P=0 .007) .The incidence of AST increase rate above Ⅲ degrees was 13 .0% in pemetrexed combi‐nation group and 32 .5% in paclitaxel combination group(χ2 = 4 .706 ,P= 0 .030) .The incidence of neurotoxicity was 28 .2% in pemetrexed combined group ,65 .0% in paclitaxel combined group (χ2 = 11 .652 ,P= 11 .652) .The incidence of gastrointestinal tract reaction above Ⅲ degrees was 47 .8% in pemetrexed combined group ,57 .5% in paclitaxel combined group was ,(χ2 = 0 .803 , P=0 .370) .Cox regression analysis revealed that PS score(HR=0 .207 ,95% CI:0 .090-0 .479) and clinical stages(HR=0 .089 , 95% CI:0 .041-0 .191) had significant effects on survival of patients .Conclusion Two kinds of treatment in two groups showed the similar curative effects and promised to be first‐line chemotherapy strategy for postoperative patients with NSCLC .However , the pemetrexed combined group showed less drug toxicity compared with that of the paclitaxel combined group .
RESUMO
Lymphocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) is a member of integrin family, that plays an important role in the adhesion of lymphocytes with other cells and matrix. To investigate the role of LFA-1 in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), the incidence of CIA, histological and radiological assessments in the LFA-1 deficient (LFA-1~ -/- ) mice and control mice were examined. LFA-1~ -/- mice and control mice were immunized with 100?g collagen type II(CII) emulsified with an equal volume of Freund’s complete adjuvant (CFA), followed by the booster injection of the same amount of CII in CFA on day 21. Then, clinical, histological and radiological assessments were done. It showed that 57% control mice developed arthritis and apparently changed in the histological and radiological assessment, whereas the all of LFA-1~ -/- mice had the normal histological and radiographic response and none developed arthritis. These results suggeste that LFA-1 is indispensable for the onset of CIA.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the prevalence of asthma and its correlated factors in Zaozhuang area in 2003, to provide a basic consideration for prevention/treatment and control policy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>6 points were selected by stratified-clusterd-random sampling with a total of 16,725 persons expected, but only 10,610 subjects investigated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In this survey, 128 asthma cases were identified with a overall prevalence of 1.21%. The prevalence for children was 2.02%, and for adult was 0.90% with the former significantly higher then the latter (chi(2) = 21.39, P < 0.01). Rates for male and female were 1.08%, 1.32% with a ratio of 1:1.22. For 77.97% of children with asthma. The initiative age of asthma was before 7 years old among children while among 36.23% of the adults, it was before 15 years of age. Correlation analysis showed that upper respiratory tract infection (OR = 17.81, 95% CI: 12.25-25.89), cold air exposure (OR = 3.43, 95% CI: 2.41-4.90), stimulation through cooking and by harmful gases (OR = 2.56, 95% CI: 1.80-3.63), allergic materials (OR = 2.74, 95% CI: 1.80-4.17) were main inducing factors. 65.63% of the asthma cases having had history of allergic disease while 25.78% having had family history with the OR of allergic history and family history as 21.69 vs. 73.96.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The epidemic status of bronchial asthma was serious, with an assumption that asthma cases might have reached the number of 43 thousand in Zaozhuang area.</p>
