The paper is to systematically evaluate the effect and safety of Shenqi Fuzheng injection (SFI) combined with first-line chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on Shenqi Fuzheng injection (SFI) combined with first-line chemotherapy (experiment group) and chemotherapy alone group ( control group) were electronically retrieved from Medline, EMbase, Clinical Trials, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data base. All trials were assessed for quality according to the Cochrane Reviewer's Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Intervention and then Meta-analysis was performed withRevMan5. 2 Software. A total of 43 RCTs (3433 patients) were included after screening and selecting. Results of Meta-analysis showed that: Objective remission rate (ORR): ORR of experimental group was about 20% higher than that of control group [RR = 1.23, 95% CI (1.11,1.35), P < 0.0001]. Disease control rate (DCR):DCR of SFI combined with first-line chemotherapy was 11% higher than that of first-line chemotherapy alone [RR = 1.11, 95% CI (1.07, 1.16), P < 0.000 01]. Life quality evaluated by Kosovan performance status (KPS) showed that: life quality improvement rate of experimental group was about twice of that in control group [RR = 2.02, 95% CI (1.81, 2.26), P < 0.000 01]. Toxic and side reaction analysis showed that: the incidence of side reactions in experimental group was about 50% lower than that in control group [RR = 0.59, 95% CI (0.53, 0.66), P < 0.000 01]. Immune function test showed that: the function of experimental group was 3.2 (standard deviations) times greater than that of control group [MD = 3.23, 95% CI (2.86, 3.60), P < 0.000 01]. We can see that SFI combined with first-line chemotherapy for NSCLC can increase objective efficacy, improve life quality, decrease toxic and side reactionsinduced by chemotherapy, and improve the immune functions. As most of the included studies in this systematic evaluation had poor quality, the evidence to support conclusion was weak, so it was necessary to conduct more multi-center clinical trials with high quality methods and rigorous design.

4.Clinical observation on every 3-week oxaliplatin plus 5-FU/CF regimen as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer
Tumor 2009;(12):1167-1169
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of every 3-week regimen of oxaliplatin (OXA) plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin(CF)as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.Methods:Ninety eight patients with stage Ⅱ to stage Ⅲ colorectal cancer received every 3-week OXA plus 5-FU/CF adjuvant chemotherapy for six cycles after resection surgery. All the patients received a complete reexamination every 3 months after the end of adjuvant chemotherapy. The disease-free survival period and 1- and 2-year disease-free survival rates were observed.Results:The total 2-year disease-free survival rate was 74.5%. It was 87.0% for stageⅡpatients and 63.5% for stage Ⅲ patients. The main adverse reaction included peripheral neurotoxicity, neutropenia and diarrhea at grades Ⅰ to Ⅱ. Grades Ⅲ to Ⅳ adverse reactions occurred rarely.Conclusion:The every 3-week OXA combined with 5-FU/CF adjuvant chemotherapy regimen had definite efficacy and good tolerance, which was a rational choice of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.

[Objective]To observe the degradation process of PDLLA in the intervertebral fusion.[Method]Twenty goats were divided into 4 groups as experimental group,and their L_(3~4)intervertebal spaces were implanted with PDLLA cage containing pieces of graft bone.Animals were sacrificed at 4,8,12,16 wks and specimens were taken for observation of the degradation process and bone fusion by gross observation and electronic microscope.Another 12 goats were used as normal fusion control group.Their L_(3~4)space were grafted with bone block for fusion.[Result]The degradation rate was non-lineal.In the early stage of fusion,the main degradation and decrease of molecular weight was shown at the superficial decomposition.With the proceeding of fusion and degradation,as the kydrolyzation speeding-up,internal decomposition by self-catalyse resulted into the collapse and total disassemble of the PDLLA.The PDLLA cage maintained its shape in the early stage and its biomechanical strength decrease in late stage but was still enough to keep the structure from collapse,till the fusion was achieved in the bone implant area.[Conclusion]The velocity of degradation of PDLLA is slower than the speed of bone regeneration of bone fusion,so the PDLLA cage could provide sufficient support during the process of intervertebal fusion and is a suitable choice of degradative material for cage in the intervertebal fusion.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2010;37(2):101-103,107
Objective: To evaluate the impact of the number of negative lymph nodes on disease free survival (DFS) of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Methods: A total of 485 patients who underwent surgery for gastric cancer were enrolled in this study. We analyzed the data of these patients including complete information of follow-up and definite postoperative pathological results. The disease free survival of all patients was more than 6 months and was analyzed according to the pathological stage respectively. COX regression analysis was performed to screen the independent prognostic factors. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the disease free survival curve and the disease free survival rate was compared among subgroups. Results: Cox regression analysis showed that the disease free survival rate of gastric cancer patients with pathological stage T_3N_(0~2)M_0 was significantly associated with age, degree of tumor differentiation, tumor location as well as the number of negative lymph nodes. In the T_3N_0M_0 subgroup, when the number of negative lymph nodes was 1 to 4 and 5 or more, the 2-year disease free survival rate was 8.3% and 55.6%, respectively, and the 3-year disease free survival rate was 0 and 24.9%, respectively (P=0.025).In the T_3N_1M_0 subgroup, when the number of negative lymph nodes was 3 or less, 4 to 9, and 10 or more, the 2-year disease free survival rate was 17.3%, 39.1%, and 52.6%, respectively, and the 3-year disease free survival rate was 4.2%, 6.0%, and 17.1%, respectively (P<0.001). In the T_3N_1M_0 subgroup, when the number of negative lymph nodes was 7 or less and 8 or more, the 2-year disease free survival rate was 11.5% and 35%, respectively, and the 3-year disease free survival rate was 0.8% and 5%, respectively (P=0.015).Conclusion: For gastric cancer patients with pathological stage T_3N_(0~2)M_0, the number of negative nodes could reflect the level of regional lymph node dissection. The number of negative nodes can be an index for evaluation of the accuracy of pathological staging and is considered as an independent prognostic factor for disease free survival of gastric cancer patients.

To assess whether the Shuxuening injection influences liver function, this paper analyzes the hospital information system (HIS) data from 20 national hospitals. The patients were divided two groups: patients (5 353 cases) using Shuxuening injection acted as the exposed group, then the patients (4 863 cases) not using Shuxuening injection acted as the unexposed group. Take the abnormal changes of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase indexes as the result. Control confounding factors by stratification analysis, classic logistic regression analysis, before logistic regression based on propensity score weighting method and logistic regression based on generalized boosted models (GBM) of propensity score weighted combination of covariate adjustment. Then, the study analyzes the effects of Shuxuening injection on liver function by observing the changes of the indexes. Analysis of the impact of parenterally administered Shuxuening on ALT shows that, before logistic regression based on propensity score, then the regression is -0.232 (P value is 0.017). However, after logistic regression based on propensity score method the regression became -0.150 (P value is 0.370). Whereas, analysis of the impact of parenterally administered Shuxuening on AST shows that, before logistic regression based on propensity score, then the regression is -0.034 (P value is 0.767). However, after logistic regression based on propensity score method the regression became -0.091(P value is 0.538). Thus, propensity score method can control a large number of confounding factors, making the results more close to the clinic. Hence, based on existing electronic medical data, this study didn't find that parenterally administered Shuexuening influences ALT and AST.

Objective To evaluated the role of wt-P53 protein in telomerase regulation in keloid fibroblasts(KFBs). Methods The fibroblasts were derived from human keloid tissue which was proved by pathological diagnosis. KFBs were divided into 2 groups, the transfection group and the untransfection group. wt-p53 gene was transfected into the fibroblasts by adenovirus vectors in the transfection group. The KFBs untransfected with wt-p53 gene served as control (untransfection group). After 48 hours of transfection, the expression of wt-P53 protein was analyzed by both Western blotting and immunofluorescence method, respectively. The telomerase activity was evaluated by TRAP-ELISA after 1-7 days of transfection.Results All the KFBs from 2 groups expressed wt-P53 protein. But the expression level of wt-P53 protein in the transfection group was significantly higher than that in the untransfection group. At the same time of high expression of wt-P53 protein, the telomerase activity of KFBs in transfection group was significantly lower than that in the untransfection group( P<0.05). Conclusion High level expression of wt-P53 protein can transiently inhibit the telomerase activity of KFBs.
