RESUMO
As a part of the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model of malignant tumors， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） plays a unique role in increasing efficiency， reducing toxicity， and preventing recurrence and metastasis. It has been gradually recognized that integrated TCM and western medicine should be used in diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Western medicine such as surgery， radiotherapy， chemotherapy， endocrine therapy， targeted therapy， and immunotherapy may act as the main factors that change the syndromes， as they can induce the changes of the tongue and pulse manifestations and symptoms after acting on the body. It is therefore advised to differentiate and analyze the attributes of yin-yang and cold-heat of western medicine as well as its impact on TCM syndromes， and use Chinese herbal medicinals precisely so as to increase efficiency and reduce toxicity. Moreover， it is better to grasp the syndrome evolution trend of modern medicine and predict the disease tendency， so as to improve the accuracy of syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM under multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment model， and promote the maximization of the benefits of integrated TCM and western medicine in treating tumors.
RESUMO
The most common subtype of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which has a poor prognosis and seriously threatens the health of human beings. The multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment model has gradually become the mainstream of NSCLC treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be used effectively either as an adjunctive therapy or alone throughout the NSCLC therapy, which has a significant impact on survival, quality of life, and reduction of toxicity. Therefore, this paper reviewed the theoretical basis, the latest clinical application, and combined treatment mechanisms in order to explore the advantage stage of TCM treatment and the synergistic therapeutic mechanisms.
RESUMO
We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristic of one patient with metastatic prostate cancer and the relative literatures were reviewed. A 40-year-old man was admitted and diagnosed as prostate cancer on March 20, 2018(T 4N 1M 1a) with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at 47.99 ng/ml. The first 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT showed multiple nodular lesions in the bilateral peripheral bands of the prostate, multiple nodular lesions in the right apex, abnormal uptake of nuclides in multiple lymph nodes in the abdominal aortic wandering zone, the abdominal aortic bifurcation zone, and the bilateral iliac artery wandering zone at the level of the lumbar 2-5 vertebral body, and metastasis was considered. The patient was treated with six cycles of drug castration combined with antiandrogenic treatment and pre-operative system chemotherapy(docetaxel). Six months later, the PSA decreased to 0.225ng/ml. Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy and expanded pelvic lymph node dissection was performed. Postoperative total androgen blocking therapy was maintained, and PSA slowly increased. Ten months after operation, salvage radiotherapy for enlarged lymph nodes was performed in pelvic extension field, prostate tumor bed area and pelvic cavity. PSA remained stable for 7 months postradiotherapy, and then increased. The patient developed castration-resistant prostate cancer and was treated with triptorelin combined with abiraterone. PSA was decreased, and local radiotherapy was performed for new lymph node metastases in the neck. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT could provide a decision-making basis for accurate clinical staging, therapeutic effect evaluation and distant metastatic lesions location with guiding value for the formulation of individualized treatment plans.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the clinical treatment modalities and clinical prognosis of patients diagnosed with primary nasopharyngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma (NACC).Methods The medical records of 46 patients with NACC between March 1971 and November 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,22 patients were male and 24 female.The median age of all patients was 47 years (range:23-74 years).Among them,34 patients received radiotherapy alone including 25 patients treated with conventional radiotherapy and 9 receiving intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).Five patients underwent salvage surgery for the residual tumors after radiotherapy.Twelve patients were treated with a comprehensive treatment modality (surgery combined with radiotherapy).Results The median follow-up time was 66.0 months (range:11.0-270.6 months).The 5-and 10-year overall survival,locoregional failure-free survival,and distant metastasis failure-free survival rates were 70％ and 40％,64％ and 47％,70％ and 62％,respectively.In the radiotherapy alone group,12(35％) cases obtained complete response,13 had partial response and 9 remained stable after radiotherapy.The 5-year overall survival and locoregional failure-free survival rates in the radiotherapy alone and combined therapy groups were 69％ and 74％,63％ and 66％,respectively (all P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The course of NACC is relatively slow.Radiotherapy is recommended for patients with high sensitivity towards radiotherapy.Salvage surgery is feasible for those who are insensitive to radiotherapy or with residual tumor after radiotherapy.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the efficacy and complications of interventional treatment in hepatic hemangiomas with poor blood supply,and to explore the mode of treatment.Methods From May 2013 to October 2016,at Tianjin Third Central Hospital,82 patients with hepatic hemangiomas with poor blood supply were enrolled and divided into intervention group,puncture group and combination group.Conventional hepatic artery intubation was performed in intervention group,using a microcatheter to superselect to hemangioma and injecting pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion into the tumor of hemangioma.Patients of puncture group underwent the ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver puncture,and the pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion was injected into the tumor.The patients of combination group first received intervention treatment,and the pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion were injected again into the tumor area lacking of iodized oil deposition through percutaneous transhepatic puncture.After treatment,the complications and clinical efficacy of patients in three groups were evaluated and the reasons of patients lost to follow-up were analyzed.The analysis of variance,Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were performed for statistical analysis.For patients lost to follow up,intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and per protocol (PP) analysis were used.Results Among 82 patients with hepatic hemangiomas with poor blood supply,there were 27 in intervention group,24 in puncture group and 31 in combination group.Seven patients developed serious complications such as liver failure.At three months after the treatment,the overall efficacy of combination group (20.9％,9/31) was higher than that of intervention group (7.4％,2/27) and puncture group (4.2 ％,1/24),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =6.296,P =0.014;x2 =5.622,P =0.031).At six months after the treatment,the overall efficacy of combination group (ITT analysis 70.3 ％,26/37;PP analysis 71.0 ％,22/31) was still higher than that of intervention group (40.9％,9/22) and puncture group (7/18),and the differences were statistically significant (ITT analysis x2 =4.929 and 4.969,PP analysis x2 =4.789 and 4.851;all P＜0.05).At twelve months after the treatment,a total of 41 patients of three group were lost.Among them,the patients with ineffective treatment by clinical effect evaluation accounted for 63.4％ (26/41),which was higher than those with significantly effective treatment (12.2 ％,5/41) and those with effective treatment (24.4 ％,10/41),and the differences were statistically significant (x2=22.873 and 12.676,both P＜0.01).Conclusions The efficacy of the interventional treatment alone for hepatic hemangiomas with poor blood supply is poor and the complications should be considered when selecting the appropriate treatment methods.
RESUMO
In order to understand the status of neonatal transport research at home and abroad,we summarized and analyzed the research progress of neonatal transport through the literature search.Thus we evaluated the current application of a variety of transport critical rating system.Intrauterine transport is considered the safest mode of transport,and promote intrauterine transport of high-risk mothers.It is suggested that the parents participate in the transshipment process and return the stable children to the local hospital for further treatment and promote the family-centered treatment mode.In transit,mobile ECMO,hypothermia and other advanced equipment in foreign countries have been applied.It is recommended to use the respiratory function monitor to monitor the respiration during transit.It can provide the parameters of respiratory wave,identify air leak,accidental release,spontaneous breathing.

Methods:The crawler program of collecting data from haodf. com website is built up, and information was gathered from 166 hospitals in Beijing and 12,497 physicians' personal online platform informa-tion was analyzed. Data regarding the development of online health community were analyzed from the aspects of phy-sicians' activity, patients' visits and satisfaction, etc. Results:The information of hospitals and physicians provided by Haodf. com website was mainly gathered from public tertiary level hospitals. The professional titles of the physicians are mainly intermediate and deputy-senior ones. Only one-third of the physicians who opened the personal online pa-ges keep high activity and the patient satisfaction score was very high. Conclusion: The online health community in China has a certain scale and began to gradually change the traditional medical service system thereby altering the mode of medical treatment. However, its development prospects of important factors are based on the data usability and effectiveness of the online perform and deep using in health reform.
RESUMO
Objective To study the characteristics of the inpatients with cancer pain, the application of WHO three steps analgesic solution (three steps analgesic) and the application of traditional Chinese analgesic (TCM). Methods Retrospective investigation of distribution of cancer pain, situation of pain, application of TCM, and the application of conbination of three steps analgesic and TCM treatment, by using, clinical data from the oncology department of afflicated hospital of Liaoning university of TCM ranging from May, 2009 to June, 2010. Results 47.4% (517/1 090) of patiens were combined with cancer pain. Among the patients, majority were the middle-aged and old (59.19%) and male patients (57.63%). The abdominal pain (57.45%) and chest pain (37.91%) were topranks, and the distributions of pain period such assustainability (65.37%), moderately (53.38%), bloated pain (49.71%) and dull pain (29.98%) had larger proportion. The TCM excessive patterns(50.87%) were more than the TCM deficiency patterns (28.63%) or mixed TCM patters of excessive and deficiency patterns (20.50%). A total of 46 patients had mild pain, 76.09% of whom used TCM, 15.22% used first step drugs, and 8.69% used combination treatment, while 276 patients with moderate pain used second step analgesic, and 91.67%of them also used TCM, the rest195 patients with severe pain used third step analgesic, and 55.38%of them also used TCM. The time of pain release of TCM alone or combination of TCM and three steps analgesic were longer than the three steps analgesic alone. Conclusions Early intervention of traditional Chinese medicine on the patients with mild pain could reduce the dose of first step analgesic drugs, and TCM application at the second step could delay the speed of transtformfrom second to third step pain, and TCM could prevent the side effects of morphine when patients were with severe pain.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect of integrative treatment model and damage control theory in treatment of severe multiple injury. Methods A retrospective study was done on 116 patients with severe multiple injuries who were divided into integrative treatment plus damage control group, integrative treatment group and conventional treatment group. The relationship of correlative factors with mortality rate among three groups was compared before operation, during operation and after operation. Results All the indices in integrative treatment plus damage control group were better than other two groups before operation, during operation and after operation, with lower mortality rate (P<0.05). Conclusions Early use of integrative treatment model and damage control theory can obviously decrease complications, improve prognosis and decrease mortality rate for patients with severe multiple injury.
