ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of compound oxymatrine injection combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma.MethodsEighty-six patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma were divided by random digits table method into observation group(43 cases) receiving compound oxymatrine injection plus chemotherapy(paclitaxel plus carboplatin) and control group (43cases) treated with chemotherapy(p aclitaxel plus carboplatin) alone.The change of white blood cell,adverse reaction and effect of the patients were observed.ResultsThe white blood cell of observation group after treatment was obviously higher than that of control group [ (4.7 ± 1.4) × 109/L vs.(3.2 ± 1.6) × 109/L,P ＜ 0.05 ].The rates of nausea and vomiting,transaminase elevating and kidney damage of observation group were obviously lower than those of control group[ 16.3％ (7/43),14.0％ (6/43),20.9％ (9/43) vs.34.9％(15/43),32.6％ (14/43),44.2％ ( 19/43 ),P ＜ 0.05 ].The complete remission rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group[55.8％(24/43) vs.27.9％(12/43),P ＜ 0.05].Conclusion Addition of compound oxymatrine injection to chemotherapy for patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma can effectively protect patients against the decreasing of the white blood cell and attenuate the side effects brought by chemotherapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of humanized nursing in ovarian cancer patients to improve treatment compliance and negative emotional state. Methods120 cases of ovarian cancer patients from October 2009 to October 2010 in our hospital were chosen as the research object.They were divided into the control group and the observation group according to randomization methods with 60 cases in each group.The control group patients were taken routine care.The patients in the observation group were taken humanized nursing on the basis of routine care.The treatment compliances during treatment were compared.The anxiety,depression scores for the two groups of patients before and after treatment were compared.Based on the three indicators,the effect of humanized nursing in ovarian cancer patients to improve treatment compliance and negative emotional state was evaluated. ResultsThe treatment compliance during treatment for the two groups was compared,the full compliance of patients of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant.The anxiety,depression scores before treatment for the two groups were compared.There was no significant difference between the two groups.The anxiety and depression scores showed significant improvement after the treatment,but improvement level of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant. ConclusionsHumanized nursing can improve the treatment compliance and negative mood of ovarian cancer patients effectively,it is conducive to the rehabilitation of patients,and is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) with clinical pathological factors and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ).Methods Two hundred and twenty patients with HCC who hospitalized in our hospital from January 2007 to June 2009 were enrolled in this study.The relationship of AFP levels before operation to clinical pathological factors such as pathological grade,tumor size,tumor encapsulation,tumor numbers,portal vein tumor thrombus,TNM stage and postoperative recurrence were analyzed.Results Serum AFP concentration before operation were related with tumor size ( x2 =11.76,P ＜ 0.05 ),tumor encapsulation ( x2 =17.07,P ＜ 0.05 ),portal vein tumor thrombus ( x2 =8.944,P ＜ 0.05 ),higher TNM stage ( x2 =4.929,P ＜ 0.05 ) and early postoperative recurrence rate ( x2 =5.569,P ＜ 0.05 ).However,it had no correlation with pathological edmondson grade tumor numbers.Conclusion HCC patients with high serum AFP concentration often has greater tumor without encapsulation,high occurrence rate of portal vein tumor thrombus and higher TNM stage,they are more likely to early postoperative recurrence.Serum AFP before operation is useful not only for diagnosis,but also as a prognostic biomarker to predict prognosis and recurrence.

In patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase who have achieved complete molecular remission on imatinib therapy,whether and when to discontinue the drug become a hot topic.The famous clinical trials of discontinue tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) from France and Australia have demonstrated that long-term monotherapy with TKI is not curative in the majority of patients with CML.This has focused attention on strategies to eradicate residual disease in CML patients,which should result in cure and long-term treatment-free remission and leukemia-free survival.This review provides a brife summary of the 55th ASH annual meeting,focusing on the potential combination therapeutics in the era of TKI.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, the morbidity of chronic pancreatitis has been increasing dramaticaly with lifestyle changes. Fortunately, endoscopic pancreatic stenting for patients with chronic pancreatitis shows favorable clinical prospects.OBJECTIVE:To introduce the advantages and disadvantages of various stent materials and to review the development and clinical application of pancreatic stents.METHODS: With the key words of chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic stent in Chinese and English, respectively, a computer-based search was performed for articles published in CNKI and PubMed databases from January 2005 to November 2016. After the initial screening, articles related to endoscopic pancreatic stenting usedin vitro,in vivo or in clinic were included.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Endoscopic pancreatic stenting has become a recognized treatment for chronic pancreatitis in recent years. Therefore, the development and application of the materials of pancreatic duct stents appear to be particularly important. According to different materials, pancreatic duct stents can be classified into plastic stents, fully covered self-expandable metal stents, and biodegradable stents. The complications, including stent migration and secondary surgery, frequently appear in the clinical use of plastic pancreatic duct stents and self-expandable metal stents, although they have been widely used in clinical practice. Biodegradable pancreatic duct stents can be degraded completely in the pancreatic duct within the expected time, and thereby avoid several complications. Consequently, the exploitation and application of biodegradable pancreatic duct stents have become an issue of concern.

When cultured heart cells were exposed to X-XOD containing medium, the absolute values of APA, OS, Vmax, APD, MDP, TP decreased; the percentage of beating clusters reduced in single MEM medium, but the frequency increased sharply in Ba containing medium. The longer the period exposed to X-XOD, the more significant are the variations of the electrical and contractile indices. The effects of X-Mo was similar to that of X-XOD, but to a slightly less extent. Se significantly converted all the indices. It is concluded that X-XOD can induce serious injury of cultured myocytes, and so does the X-Mo, while Se can protect the cells from the injury.

Burkitt's lymphoma is a highly aggressive and proliferative type of mature B cell nonHodgkin's lymphoma. Therapeutic strategies for Burkitt's lymphoma remain a challenge because of significant toxicities and poor prognosis. Further studies investigating the underlying molecular mechanisms of the carcinogenesis, chemotherapy and drug resistance are needed to improve the treatment of Burkitt's lymphoma.
