The postoperative recurrence rate of gastrointestinal cancer is high. The therapeutic effect of traditional chemotherapy is not satisfactory, such as chemotherapy through vein and intestine perfusion and so on, and the side effects are obvious. In recent years, researchers in and abroad have begun to study the effect of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Whether early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy affect the healing of anastomotic stoma is still controversial. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with medicine can achieve a better therapeutic effect. This article reviewed current issues of intraperitoneal chemotherapy, espe-cially its validity and safety.

Objective To explore the value of placental alpha-microglobulin-1 in vagina liquid to diagnose premature rupture of membranes. Methods A prospective observational study to initial evaluation included both the standard clinical evaluation for rupture of membranes and placental alpha-microglobulin-1 immunoassay. Rupture of membranes was diagnosed if fluid was seen leaking from the cervical os or if two of the following three conditions were present: pooling of fluid, positive nitrazine test, or feming. Rupture of membranes was diagnosed definitively on review of the medical records after delivery. Results Placental alpha-microglobulin-1 immunoassay confirmed rupture of membranes at initial presentation with a sensitivity of 100% (89/89), specificity of 91% (10/11), positive predictive value of 99% (89/90), and negative predictive value of 100% (10/10),false positive rate of 9% (1/11). Placental alpha-nricroglobulin-1 immunoassay was better than the conventional clinical assessment in confirming the diagnosis of rupture ofmembranes (P<0.01). Conclusion Measurement of placental alpha-microglobulin-1 in cervicovaginal secretions is superior to conventional clinical assessment in the diagnosis of rupture of membranes.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of rhein lysinate (RHL)on the liver of the models with diabetic rats,and to provide basis for research on treatment of fatty liver in the patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods The models of diabetic rats were established by intraperitoneally injecting streptozotocin(STZ).40 rats were divided into control,model,25 mg·kg-1 RHL,and 50 mg·kg-1 RHL groups(n=10).The levels of malonaldehyde (MDA)and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were detected by thiobarbituric acid method, pyrogallol autoxidation method, and NADPH coupling method, respectively.The pathological changes of liver tissue were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE)staining;the content of fat in liver tissue was observed by Nile red staining;the expression levels of fat synthesis-related proteins were detected by Western blotting method.Results Compared with control group,the body weight of the rats in model group was decreased and the levels of blood glucose,total cholesterol(TC)and triglyceride(TG)were increased (P<0.05);the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in liver tissue were decreased (P<0.05);there were a plenty of fat vacuoles and fat accumulation in liver tissue. The signal pathway of fat synthesis-related ERK1/2-SREBP-1c was activated in model group;compared with model group,it was inhibited in 25 and 50 mg· kg-1 RHL groups (P<0.05).Compared with model group,the blood glucose,TC and TG of the rats in 25 and 50 mg ·kg-1 RHL groups were decreased (P<0.05);the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased (P<0.05);however the body weight had no change. Compared with model group, the fatty vacuoles and the fatty accumulation of liver tissue in 25 and 50 mg·kg-1 RHL groups were decreased. Conclusion The hepatic protection of RHL is correlated with the inhibition of oxidative stress, fat degeneration and fatty accumulation of liver tissues.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of 6-mercaptopurine in the treatment of refractory childhood nephrotic syndrome (NS). Methods: According to the varieties of NS, 6-mercaptopurine (2 mg/kg body weight daily) combined with corticosteroid or 6-mercaptopurine (2 mg/kg body weight daily) alone after tapering of steroids were given to 28 consecutive children with primary NS in our hospital. Results: One month after the use of 6-mercaptopurine, proteinuria was decreased. The duration of improvement was 9~28 days, with mean duration of 17 days. Over-all effective rate was 85.7%. Among different varieties of NS, the best therapeutic effect was noted in steroid-dependent children; the better therapeutic effect in steroid-resistant children; and good therapeutic effect in frequently relapsing children. The effective rates were 100%, 84.6%, 81.8% respectively. All the pathological varieties of 28 children were confirmed by renal biopsy. The better therapeutic effects were noted in slight mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) and minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS). The less therapeutic effect was noted in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN). Their therapeutic effective rates were 92.9%, 80%, 66.7% respectively. Unfortunately, drug-induced aplastic anemia was seen in 2 cases. Slight gastrointestinal reactions were present in 6 cases. There were no side reaction on the gonad. Conclusions: The great difference in the therapeutic effects is related to the different pathologic varieties of NS. With regard to the treatment of refractory NS in children, the pathological varieties should be confirmed by renal biopsy as soon as possible. Based on the renal biopsy, 6-mercaptopurine can be considered in the treatment of MsPGN and MCNS. As a result, relapses could be reduced; the duration of remission could be prolonged, and the side reactions from steroid treatment could be avoided. The use of 6-mercaptopurine for the treatment of refractory NS is one of the effective therapy.

Small scale restricted online course (SPOCs)+flipped classroomteaching is expected to become an important complement to the traditional teaching of dermatology. In this teaching mode, first of all knowledge nodes are divided separately according to the syllabus and for each node, 7 to 10 minutes of micro video or micro-lecture is made, which enables students to make best use of fragmented time through the network to master relevant knowledge independently before the trainee. In the flipped classroom, based on the difficulties and misunderstandings of learning reflected from the network monitor data, teacher can make full use of time on demonstrating typical cases, organizing discussion, grouping students to take diag-nostic and therapeutic exercise, answering targeted questions, teaching clinical thinking, experience and doctor-patient communication skills. Through this teaching mode, the new teaching idea can be imple-mented that students are in dominant position while teachers are in leading position, which contributes to deepening the understanding , absorption and application of knowledge and improving students' ability of communication, cooperation, diagnosis and treatment.
