China Medical Equipment 2015;(6):88-90
Objective:To research on the radio frequency ablation (RFA) combined with the clinical effect of chemotherapy in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer and lung metastasis. Methods:From 2011 May to 2012 in our hospital 06 months 60 cases of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and lung cancer patients, divided into radio frequency ablation(RFA) combined with chemotherapy group of 30 cases and a simple chemotherapy group 30 cases, referred to as the treatment group and the control group. To observe the change of tumor volume in patients with poor survival rate, years, tumor recurrence rate, and postoperative complications. Results:Three months after treatment in treatment group tumor recession(CR) in 5 cases(16.7%), part of the recession(PRa) 18(60%), partial mild recession(PRb) 6(20%), no degradation(NR), 1(3.3%), tumor size change significantly better than the control group. The treatment group patients 12 months survival rate was 86.7%, higher than that of the control group(70%). The treatment group of 12 months of tumor recurrence rate of 6.7%, lower than that of the control group(26.7%). No obvious adverse complications of the treatment group of 30 patients after operation. Conclusion:Radiofrequency hyperthermia ablation combined with chemotherapy in treatment of advanced non small cell lung cancer and metastatic lung cancer clinical effect is obvious.

Objective:This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the outcome of cancer pain in patients with moderate and severe chronic cancer pain for clinical decision making. Methods: Data were collected from 426 cancer patients with moderate and severe chronic cancer pain, and the factors affecting pain treatment were analyzed. Results:A total of 85.6%of patients had good pain control in 3 days (NRS≤3). Multivariate logistic regression models showed that the pain of patients with bone metastases (P=0.026), breakthrough pain after stable pain control (P<0.001), and high MEDD (P<0.001) was poorly controlled. Moreover, age, sex, TNM stage, cause of pain, and medication ladder were not risk factors of pain control (P>0.05). Opioid combination with NSAIDs contributed to easier pain control (P=0.024). Digestive system tumors, pain intensity, limb pain, neuropathic pain, use of transdermal fentanyl matrix patch, multiple metastases in stage-IV patients were suggested to be risk factors of pain control in univariate logistic regression models (P<0.05). Conclusion: Bone metastases, breakthrough pain after pain relief, and high dose of MEDD were independent risk factors. Opioid combination with NSAIDs was a protective factor of pain control.

Objective To evaluate the impact of rosiglitazone (Ros) on liver expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ),nuclear factor (NF-κB) and cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) in treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) rats.Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into normal group,model group and Ros treated group with 10 each.Except the normal group,the other two groups were given high fat diet for 12 weeks for NASH model.The rats in Ros treated group were gavaged 4 mg/kg of Ros daily at the 12th week for 8 weeks.All rats were sacrificed at the 20th week for blood sample and liver tissue.Biochemical parameters of liver function,lipid metabolism,glycometabolism and antioxidant enzyme activities were measured.The histological change of the liver were assessed with HE and Masson staining.The level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was measured using ELISA.The expression of PPARγ,NF-κB and COX-2 was detected with immunohistochemistry.The mRNA and protein expressions of COX-2 were tested by real-time PCR and Western blotting,respectively.Results In comparison with model group,Ros treated group showed significant improvement in hepatic steatosis,inflammation and fibrosis(all P value<0.05).In model group,the serum levels of fasting blood glucose,insulin and HOMA-insulin resistance index (HOMA-IRI),total cholesterol (TC),total triglyeride (TG),lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and free fatty acids were increased,but HDL-C level was decreased.All above parameters markedly improved after Ros treatment.The levels of ALT and AST,total anti-oxidation competence,superoxide dismutase,catalase,glutathione peroxidase and malondialdehyde in Ros treated group were significantly ameliorated when compared with those in model group.Immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of NF-κB and COX-2 was significantly elevated,but PPARγ was decreased in model group.Real-time PCR and Western blot revealed that the mRNA and protein expressions of COX-2 were higher in the model group than those in normal group (0.57±0.08 vs 0.38±0.03;2.83±0.24 vs 1.00±0.03,P=0.000 and P=0.004,respectively),but significantly lower in Ros treated group (0.55±0.06 and 1.84±0.13,P<0.01).Conclusions Ros can reduce oxidative stress and insulin resistance in NASH rats by activing PPARγ expression and inhibiting expression of NF-κB and cyclooxygenases.
