International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2013;35(4):341-342
With the improvement of health care consciousness,it is very urgent to accelerate the dissemination and learning of health care to prevent disease by using Chinese medicine.The establishment of the health care resource pool of Chinese Medicine is to provide convenience for people to learn the knowledge about health care.The essay is aimed to explore the necessity and feasibility of building the health care resource pool of Chinese Medicine from the aspects of discussing the meaning,predominance,essentials and contents of resources.

Objective To investigate the effect of omeprazole combined with FOLFOX scheme as an adjuvant therapy for stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ colon cancer patients after a radical resection.Methods 98 stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ colon cancer patients in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2009 were randomly divided into study group (48 cases) receiving regimen of omeprazole combined with FOLFOX and control group (50 cases) treated with FOLFOX chemotherapy after radical colectomy.Surgical specimens were examined for expression of V-ATPase protein.Chemotherapy period was 6 months,8-12 courses.We observed results of follow-up curative effect,comparing the side effects and postoperative 2 year,3 year and 5 year disease-free survival rate (DFS) difference using statistical analysis.Results Study was completed in all 93 cases,5 cases were lost to follow-up.The baseline data distribution in the two groups were balanced basically.In study group the gastrointestinal side effects of chemotherapy was lower than the control group (x2 =4.924 6,P =0.026).In the two groups,the 2-year,3-year and 5-year DFS were 73% vs 60% (x2 =1.743 7,P =0.187),62% vs50% (x2 =1.4075,P=0.235),49% vs40% (x2 =0.8159,P=0.366) (P>0.05).V-ATPase protein expression was 71% (70/98) in all samples.The 2-year and 3-year DFS of patients for V-ATPase protein positive expression in the two groups were 75% vs 51% (x2 =3.970 8,P =0.046),66% vs 40% (x2 =4.399 5,P =0.036).Compared with the control group,the 2-year,3-year DFS increased in the study group (P < 0.05).In stage Ⅲ colon cancer patients,the 2-year DFS was 73% vs 47% (x2 =4.504 5,P =0.034).Conclusions PPI combined with FOLFOX in V-ATPase protein positive expression or Ⅲ stage colon cancer patients after radical colectemy improves long-term survival,as well as reduces the gastrointestinal side effects of chemotherapy.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics and management strategies of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in high-altitude areas.Methods:An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in 79 stable COPD patients who visited the outpatient of Respiratory Medicine at Tibet Autonomous Region People′s Hospital and Peking University Third Hospital from August 3 rd 2020 to November 30 th 2020. Patients were divided into Lhasa group ( n=44) and Beijing group ( n=35). The differences of clinical characteristics including demographic characteristics, risk factors, respiratory symptoms, comorbidities, medications and spirometry were analyzed. Further comparative analysis was conducted on the clinical characteristics of smokers ( n=15) and non-smokers ( n=29) in Lhasa group. Results:The proportion of female patients and biofuel exposure in Lhasa group was significantly higher than Beijing group (56.8% vs 0, 86.4% vs 0, both P<0.001). The proportion of smokers in Lhasa group was significantly lower than Beijing group (34.1% vs 100%, P<0.001). The mean score of COPD assessment test (CAT) in Lhasa group was significantly higher than Beijing group (21.27 vs 9.17, P<0.001). The proportion of acute exacerbations ≥2 in the past year in Lhasa group was significantly higher than Beijing group (31.8% vs 11.4%, P=0.032). The median percentage of forced vital capacity in the first second of predicted value (FEV 1%pred) of patients in Lhasa group was significantly higher than Beijing group (63% vs 38%, P<0.001). The proportion of patients treated by inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β 2-agonist (ICS/LABA) and inhaled long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) in Lhasa group was significantly lower than Beijing group (4.5% vs 60.0%, 0 vs 65.7%, both P<0.001). There were no significant differences in CAT score, number of acute exacerbations in the past year and lung function between smokers and non-smokers in Lhasa group. Conclusions:Compared with those patients in Beijing, the majority of patients with COPD living in Lhasa are female, with a low proportion of smokers and a high proportion of biofuel exposure. Although their lung function is better, their respiratory symptoms are more severe with more acute exacerbations in the past year, and most patients do not receive standardized medication.
