Patients with advanced gastric cancer lose the surgical indications.Chemotherapy can improve the overall survival and quality of life,which is the main treatment option.But there is no standard chemotherapy regimen for the patients with advanced gastric cancer.Since its initial approval,S-1 is widely used in gastric cancer.Several studies were performed to explore combinations of S-1 with other cytotoxic drugs such as platinum,docetaxel,paclitaxel,and irinotecan.All these combinations were found to be promising,with response rates of around 40％-50％ and relatively favorable safety profiles.

Objective: To analyze plasma levels of catestatin (CST) in patients with different blood pressure (BP) and metabolic status.
Methods: Our research included in 3 groups: Control group,n=60 subjects with normal BP from physical examination in our hospital; 131 patients with essential hypertension (EH) were divided into 2 groups: Isolated EH group,n=90 and MS (metabolic syndrome) group,n=41. Plasma levels of CST, norepinephrine (NE) were examined, the ratio of CST/NE was calculated, and those indexes were compared among different groups.
Results: Compared with Control group, plasma levels of CST and the ratios of CST/NE were decreased in Isolated EH and MS groups,P<0.05-0.01. As BP increasing, plasma levels of CST were gradually decreased; compared with Isolated EH group, plasma level of CST and CST/NE were reduced in MS group,P<0.05.
Conclusion: Plasma levels of CST and the ratio of CST/NE were obviously decreased in EH patients, CST was even lower in MS patients which implied that CST might be involved in the development of EH and MS.

Objective To explore the features of nerve electrophysiology in Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) in children.Methods Thirty-four children with MFS were selected.The examinations of routine motor sensory nerve conduction,H reflexes of soleus muscle and F wave of median and tibial nerevs were performed.At the same time,33 healthy children of the same age were selected as control group and 30 children with typical Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) selected as GBS group,which were compared with children with MFS.Results In children with MFS,routine motor nerve conduction velocity and amplitude,and sensory nerve conduction velocity were in normal range.Twelve cases (35.29％) showed a decrease in sensory nerve amplitude potential (SNAP),5 cases (14.71％) showed sural sparing phenomena (the decline degrees of SNAP in median or ulnar nerve greater than in sural nerve),22 cases (64.71％) showed abnormality of H reflex,and 12 cases (35.29％) showed the decline of SNAE Compared with control group,there was no difference in sensory nerve conduction velocity and SNAP in sural nerve in children with MFS (P＜0.05);While there were significant decreases in SNAP in both median nerve and ulnar nerve (P＜0.05).Compared with GBS group,children with MFS had significantly higher sensory conduction amplitude and faster velocity (P＜0.01).Conclusion A decrease of terminal sensory nerve conduction amplitude could be found in children with MFS,but,the SNAP had limited impact on it.H reflex abnormality is the most common electrophysiologic abnormalities in MFS.

Objective To explore the long-time effects of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO) therapy on the promotion of intellectual rehabilitation in infants with severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE). Methods Forty-seven infants with severe HIE were randomly divided into a HBO group(n=24) and a control group(n=23). All the infants were treated with routine therapy for three months,in addition to HBO treatment in the HBO group once a day for four courses of 10 d with the interval of 10~15 d. Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment (NBNA)assay was employed at 7 and 28 d after born,and Bayley Scale of Infant Development (BSID)assay was got at two years in two groups, as well as Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence(WPPSI)assay at five years, in order to evaluated the short-time and long-time effects of HBO on intellectual rehabilitation in infants with HIE. Results Compared with that in the control group, the score of NBNA in the HBO group was significantly higher at 28 d(P

The management of frailty in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been receiving increasing attention.Frailty in elderly patients with CKD has a high incidence and is used for risk prediction of adverse outcomes,including death,hospitalization,falls,dialysis and so on.A range of pathophysiological changes caused by CKD,aging and multimorbidity work together to promote the development of frailty.Treatment for CKD patients with frailty includes mainly nutritional support,exercise,drug therapy and comprehensive intervention.This article reviews recent research progress concerning frailty in elderly CKD patients.

Upon the situation that the scale of international students studying clinic medicine is enlarging,we adopted the questionnaire designed by International Affairs'Office of Ministry of Education to investigate the general information as the reason why international students come to study in China,the entrance standard,the evaluation on teaching,the occupation selecting and the tuition fee etc.The essay aims to provide information for normalizing the education and constituting concerned policy.

To establish a set of perfect teaching quality management system in laboratory medicine based on ISO 9000 standard and teaching reality in laboratory medicine will be helpful to the improvement of teaching quality and management ability and sustainable development of laboratory medicine.
