Objective To explore and analyze the curative effect of capecitabine in the treatment of advanced breast cancer and its influcing factors. Methods 100 cases of advanced breast cancer were selected,all patients were treated with combined or individual therapy, one period was 21-28 days, and the course of treatment was more than two cycles. Before and after treatment, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECGO) score, receptor status, chemotherapy cycles, tumor metastasis and other factors of the data were collected and recorded. Results The short-term efficacy of the patients was: stable disease (SD) 39 cases, progressive disease (PD) 8 cases, complete remission (CR) 1 cases, partial remission (PR) 52 cases. 53.0%(53/100) for objective response rate (ORR), 92.0%(92/100) for disease control rate (DCR). All patients who received treatment from the end of the follow-up period were: 1 to 24 months, the median survival period was 6.5 months. The independent influencing factors of progress free survival (PFS) were the number of cycles of combination chemotherapy (P<0.05). During chemotherapy, the adverse reactions of patients was not much, respectively: 4 cases of hand foot syndrome, 2 cases of grade Ⅰ, 1 case of grade Ⅱ, 1 case of grade Ⅲ; 7 cases of gastrointestinal reaction, 4 cases of grade Ⅰ, 3 cases of grade Ⅱ; 3 cases of hematologic toxicity, 1 case of grade Ⅰ, 2 cases of grade Ⅱ. The lower ECGO score, ≥4 times of cycles of treatment, ER/PR+ improved the short-term efficacy(P<0.05), while the tumor metastasis and HER-2 receptor could not effect the short-term efficacy. Conclusion The short-term efficacy of capecitabine is related to ECGO score, receptor status and chemotherapy cycles, while has no relation with tumor metastasis and HER-2 receptor.

To study the resistant mechanism and clinical significance of pseudomonas aeruginosa to beta-lactam antibiotics, the outer membrane permeability rate of 30 P. aeruginosa strains to 5 beta-lactam antibiotics was measured and their production of beta-lactamase and the beta-lactamase genes they carried detected. Furthermore, the relationship between the permeability, beta-lactamase and the clinical effects of beta-lactam antibiotics was observed. By using 14C-penicillin and liquid-scintillant isotope assay, the affinity of penicillin binding proteins (PBPS) was measured and their roles in the resistant mechanism studied. It was revealed that the permeability rate was higher in sensitive strains than in resistant ones (P < 0.05). All strains harbored 1-4 beta-lactamase genes and produced beta-lactamase. Higher permeability rate and higher degree of stability to beta-lactamase indicated better clinical therapeutic effects. The affinity of PBPs changed little without regard to the permeability and beta-lactamase. These results suggested that the permeability of outer membrane and beta-lactamase, but not PBPs, played important roles in the resistant mechanism of P. aeruginosa to beta-lactam antibiotics and affected the clinical therapeutic effectiveness of some patients.

Objective To discuss the effect and safety about large dosage of tilofiban injection into coronary artery in patients with ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A prospective study was conducted. Two hundred and eighteen patients with STEMI admitted into Cardiology Department of Taizhou Central Hospital were enrolled. According to the difference in dosage, they were divided into a large dosage tilofiban group (102 cases) and a routine dosage tilofiban group (116 cases). In both groups, they received the injection of load dosage of tilofiban into coronary artery during they underwent primary PCI, the load dosage being 25μg/kg in the large dosage group, and 10μg/kg in the routine dosage group. Afterwards, the dosage was kept on 0.15μg·kg-1·min-1 in both groups lasting for 18-24 hours. The flow of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) immediately after PCI, the return of ST-segment after operation for 2 hours, the rate of bleeding events, the rate of major adverse cardiac event [MACE, including death, re-infarction and target vessel revascularization (TVR)] and prognosis after operation for 30 days were observed. Results The ratios of the immediate reflow of TIMI 3 grade after operation and the return of ST-segment after operation for 2 hours in the large dosage tirofiban group were higher than those in the routine dosage tirofiban group [the ratio of the reflow of TIMI 3 grade:92.16%(94/102) vs. 81.90%(95/116), the ratio of the return of ST-segment after operation for 2 hours:89.22%(91/102) vs. 73.28%(85/116), both P < 0.05]. The ratios of re-infarction, TVR and the total MACE in 30 days after operation in large dosage tirofiban group were lower than those in the routine dosage tirofiban group [re-infarction: 0.98% (1/102) vs. 2.59% (3/116), TVR: 0.98% (1/102) vs. 2.59% (3/116), total MACE: 1.96% (2/102) vs. 6.03% (7/116), all P < 0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in mortality and the bleeding events between the large dosage tirofiban group and routine dosage tirofiban group [mortality:0 (0/102) vs. 0.86%(1/116), bleeding events:1.96%(2/102) vs. 0.86%(1/116), both P>0.05]. Conclusion The injection of a large dosage of tilofiban into a coronary artery in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI is an effective and safe method to allow them to get more clinical benefits.
