Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2016;40(10):753-755,761
Objective]To explore the pathogenesis and rules of syndrome and treatment of different groups and stages of patients with malignant tumor,we hope to broden the clinical thinking and improve clinical therapeutic effect. [Methods]Starting from the theory of Chinese medicine,combined with the author's clinical experience,according to patients’selection treatment,we summarize the syndrome patterns, treatment principle and prognosis of different groups and different treatment stages.We divided it into two categories: pure Chinese medicine treatment and traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment. [Outcome]There were many types of malignant tumors,whose pathogenesis and treatment law can be changed under the intervention of treatment measures. Pure Chinese medicine treatment groups were divided into early, middle and late three stages.Combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment was divided into Perioperative group,Tumor free survival group and Survival group with tumor.There were 3 stages in the tumor free survival groups:adjuvant chemotherapy, adjuvant radiotherapy, and no tumor rehabilitation.The survival of the tumor bearing groups was divided into five stages:neoadjuvant chemotherapy,palliative anticancer therapy,maintenance therapy of traditional Chinese medicine,malliative symptom control and the final stage. [Conclusion] Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of malignant tumor is divided into two categories, four groups, thirteen phases.Group and phased treatment based on classification is easy to master and conducive to optimizing the traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment program.

BACKGROUND:Animal experiments have demonstrated that transplanted bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs)in the myocardial infarction region can directionally differentiate into myocardial cells with normal physiological function and promote neovascularization. Clinical studies have also showed that the cardiac function can be improved in myocardial infarction and cardiomyopathy patients after stem cell transplantation.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of autologous BMSCs transplantation on short-term cardiac function of patients with heart failure of ischemic cardiomyopathy.DESIGN: Self-control study.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, Xiangtan Central Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-one patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, including 13 males and 8 females, aged (64±6)years,who received treatment in the Department of Cardiology,Xiangtan Central Hospital of Hunan Province from March 2004 to January 2006 were retrieved. Inclusive criteria: with previous myocardial infarction at least once, B-mode ultrasonic cardiac examination showed that cardiac chamber was expanded, obvious cardiac inadequacy or stenocardia existed before stent implantation and hospitalized repeatedly, underwent percutaneous coronary artery intervention for restoring blood flow of infarcted vessel to TIMI3 degree over 3 months,but cardiac inadequacy existed to different degrees.Coronary arteriongraphy showed that no stenosis was found in the stent implanted in the coronary artery.Informed consents were obtained from all the patients.METHODS:After admission, all the patients received BMSCs transplantation based on routine drug treatment.Infarction-related arterial passage was established by percutaneous transluminal catheter technique and occluded by balloon.Isolated bone marrow stem cell suspension was injected into infarction-related arterial passage through the central cavity of catheter. ① Left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVDd)were measured before and 6 months after transplantation.② 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram evaluation was conducted before and 6 months after transplantation under the precondition of not taking antiarrhythmic drugs. ③Clinical cardiac functional grading was conducted before and 6 months after transplantation by NYHA grading method: Grade Ⅰto Ⅳ: the higher grade, the severer symptom. ④ Adverse events and side effects were observed after operation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:① LVEF and LVDd were measured before and 6 months after transplantation. ②24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram evaluation results. ③ Clinical cardiac functional grading evaluation results. ④ Post-operative adverse events and side effects.RESULTS:All the involved 21 patients participated in the result analysis.①The LVEF of patients 6 months after transplantation of BMSCs was more than that before transplantation [(54.4±6.2)%, (44.6±6.4)%,t = -5.946, P< 0.01], and LVDd of patients 6 months after transplantation was smaller than that before transplantation [(54.6±4.2), (60.2±4.4) mm,t = 5.306, P < 0.01]. ② No new arrhythmic types appeared, and case of malignant serious cardiac arrhythmias were not increased. ③ Six months after transplantation of BMSCs, there were totally 9 patients with cardiac function of grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ, while there were 18 patients before transplantation. ④ The whole transplantation was safe.No patients were found to undergo re-examination of coronary arteriongraphy, which showed stent necrosis, due to chest pain, and no dead cases were either found.CONCLUSION:It is feasible to treat ischemic cardiomyopathy by percutaneous coronary transplantation of BMSCs,which can boost LVEF and improve cardiac function after transplantation.

Objective:To investigate the values of serum neuron specific enolase (NSE), circulating tumor cells (CTC) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in the diagnosis and treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC).Methods:Ninety patients with SCLC who received treatment in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, China between December 2017 and December 2019 were retrospectively included in the observation group. Ninety healthy subjects who concurrently received lung examination in the same hospital were included in the healthy control group. An additional 90 patients with benign lung disease were included in the benign lung disease group. Serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels were determined in each group. The values of serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels in the diagnosis of SCLC were analyzed. Serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels were compared between before and after chemotherapy and their values in the treatment of SCLC were analyzed.Results:There were significant differences in serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels between three groups ( F = 359.789, 188.873 and 768.704, all P < 0.001). Serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels in the benign lung disease group were significantly greater than those in the healthy control group and significantly lower than those in the observation group. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis showed that the AUC values of serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels in the diagnosis of SCLC were 0.995, 0.953 and 0.987, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy was very high. The value at the maximum tangent point of Youden's index of serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels at the left-upper corner of the ROC curve was taken as the most appropriate cut-off value. The sensitivity and specificity of the most appropriate cut-off value of serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels in the prediction of SCLC were 100.0%/94.4%/91.1% and 94.4%/88.3%/100.0%, respectively. Therefore, serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels were of high values in the predication of SCLC. After chemotherapy, serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels in patients with SCLC were significantly lower than those before chemotherapy [NSE: (12.26 ± 3.26) μg/L vs. (18.36 ± 4.64) μg/L; CTC: (3.54 ± 1.08) counts/5 mL vs. (7.34 ± 1.30) counts/5 mL; LDH: (24.61 ± 9.66) U/L vs. (50.29 ± 16.29) U/L, t = 10.205, 12.864, 21.330, all P < 0.001). Serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels in SCLC patients in whom treatment was effective were significantly lower than those in SCLC patients in which treatment was not effective ( t = 8.111, 7.347, 10.731, all P < 0.001). Spearman correlation results showed that serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels were significantly negatively correlated with curative effects ( r = -0.562, -0.562, -0.758, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Serum NSE, CTC and LDH levels are highly expressed in SCLC patients, which can be used as markers for early clinical diagnosis and treatment of SCLC.
