Objective: Pemetrexed (PEM) is a multi-targeted chemotherapeutic agent for antifolate drugs. PEM has become the standard agent for the second-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aims to review and analyze the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of PEM combined with carboplatin with respect to NSCLC treatment. Methods: A total of 40 patients suffering from NSCLC were selected and confirmed by pathology. On the first day of treatment, the conventional 500 mg/m2 dose of pemetrexed disodium was infused intravenously. On the second day, a combined therapy with carboplatin was conducted based on the conventional dose for a 21-day cycle with at least two cycles for each patient. The therapeutic efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated and were compared with the proposed regimen of gemcitabine (GEM) combined with carboplatin. Results: After two cycles of the treatment, the curative effects of the PEM and GEM groups were 50% and 45%, respectively. The main adverse reactions are bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal reactions. The incidence rates of bone marrow suppression, gastrointestinal reactions, amisulpride/AST, urea nitrogen, rash, and hair loss were obviously lower in the PEM group than in the GEM group. Statistically significant differences in adverse reaction were found between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: The use of the combination regimen of PEM with carboplatin showed significantly more clinical effects and less adverse reactions for NSCLC treatment.

Objective To observe the effects and mechanism of ischemic postconditioning(IPo) on alleviating injuries of small intestine and remote organs induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR).Methods A total of 48 rabbits were divided randomly into three groups(n =16 in each):the Sham group,the IR group and the IPo group.After 2 hours of reperfusion,arterial and venous blood and tissues of intestine,liver and lung were harvested.The levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-10 in arterial blood and levels of ALT,AST,BUN,Cr,LDH,CK-MB activity and endotoxin in venous blood were tested.MDA, CAT,SOD and MPO levels in serum,small intestine,liver and lung were also measured.HE staining was performed for observation of injured intestinal mucosa.Bacterial translocation rate was calculated after bac-teria culture.Results Compared with the IR group,MDA and MPO levels in serum,small intestine,liver and lung decreased in the IPo group,while CAT and SOD levels increased obviously.Compared with the IR group,ALT,AST,LDH,CK-MB and BUN levels in the venous blood,and TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 and endotox-in levels in arterial blood were all decreased.IL-10 increased and the intestinal mucosal injury score de-creased obviously.Conclusion Ischemic post conditioning can decrease the damage of intestinal mucosa, reduce endotoxin translocation,promote activation of anti-inflammatory cytokines,inhibit excessive release of inflammatory mediators,enhance the antioxidant capacity of intestine and remote organs,reduce injuries to the small intestine and remote organs.
