AIM: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of loteprednol for controlling of ocular inflammation. METHODS: Data from 8 relevant monographs were retrieved by means of computerized and manual search. The combined analysis of the data was assessed in terms of clinical and statistical criteria, and the data were extracted and synthesized by using the statistical techniques of meta-analysis. Treatment effects and safety of loteprednol were through counting as risk difference between treatment and control groups. The estimates of pooled risk differences were computed according to a random-effects model. RESULTS: A total of 1 660 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled risk differences of intraocular pressure elevation were 1 % (95 % CI, -1 %, 3 %) compared with placebo, -5 % (95 % CI, -9 %, 0 %) compared with prednisolone, respectively. Compared with placebo, pooled risk differences of inflammation improvement were: 31 % (95 % CI, 22 %, 40 %) of postoperative inflammation, 28 % (95 % CI, 19 %, 37 %) of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, and 26 % (95 % CI, 18 %, 35 %) of giant papillary conjunctivitis, respectively. Compared with prednisolone, pooled risk differences of inflammation improvement of acute anterior uveitis was -15 % (95 % CI, -25 %, -4 %). CONCLUSION: Loteprednol is a safe and effective corticosteroid in controlling ocular inflammation such as postoperative inflammation, seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, giant papillary conjunctivitis, and acute anterior uveitis.

Objective To study the role of bone turnover markers in multiple myeloma(MM)bone disease.Methods Thirty-eight MM patients were studied.Serum and urine samples were taken before,after 3 months and 6 months therapy.Serum samples of tartrate resistant acid phosphatage isoform-5b(sTRACP-5b),bonespesific alkaline phosphatase(sBAP),osteocslcin(sOC),urine samples of N-telopeptides of type Ⅰ collagen(NTX)were measured.Results Urine NTX concentrations were significantly higher in newly diagnosed and relapsed or refractory patients than that in pleateum patients and controls.serum TRACP-5b concentrations were significantly higher in newly diagnosed and relapsed or refractory patients than that in controls.There were no statistical significance compared with pleateum patients.Serum BAP concentrations were significantly lower than that in pleateum patients and controls.Serum OC concentrations were not statistically significant among the newly diagnosed patients,relapsed or refractory patients,pleateum patients and control.In newly diagnosed patients.urine NTX levels were significantly higher in stage Ⅲ than that in stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ,serum BAP levels were significantly lower in stage Ⅲ than that in stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ.There was a positive relationship between urine NTX and serum TRACP-5b in newly diagnosed patients.Urine NTX levels were significantly decreased,and serum BAP levels were significantly increased after 3 cycles effective therapy.There was no change in serum TRACP-5b and OC.Urine NTX and serum TRACP-5b were significantly diseased,serum BAP and OC were significantly increased after 6 cycles of effective therapy.But bone lesions on X-ray did not diminish at that time.Conclusion There is a closely relationship between bone turnover markers and bone lesions in MM.The bone turnover markers may be useful in monitoring MM progress and therapy.

Cancer malnutrition observed in 31%~87% patients with cancer can reduce the tolerance and compliance to radiotherapy ,interrupt or delay the treatment ,and significantly affect the prognosis .The malnu-trition may be aggravated when the duration of radiotherapy is prolonged and chemotherapy is applied concurrent -ly.PG-SGA is the most suitable method for nutritional risk screening in patients with malignant tumor .According to the result of nutrition assessment ,giving the adaptive nutrition support can improve the nutritional status of pa-tients and the curative effect in the early stage of radiotherapy ,as wells as post radiotherapy .

Objective:This work aims to explore the long-term efficacy and complications of late-course accelerated hyperfrac-tionation (LCAHF) for treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods:A total of 58 patients who consulted from December 2005 to May 2008 and histologically proven nasopharyngeal carcinoma at initial diagnosis were randomized into an LCAHF group (experimental group) and a conventional fractionation (CF) group (control group). The treatment dose for both groups was 2 Gy per fraction once dai-ly, 5 days a week. After the 40 Gy to 50 Gy dose, the dosage in the LCAHF group was increased to two daily doses at 1.5 Gy per frac-tion 6 h apart, 5 days a week. The total dose in this group was 73 Gy to 76 Gy, the total dose in the CF group was 70 Gy to 76 Gy, with the total course of the treatment shortened by 0.5 weeks to 1.5 weeks in the former group. Results:The 5-year control rates of the naso-pharyngeal cancers was 86% in the LCAHF group and 59% in the CF group (P=0.021), with statistically significant differences be-tween the two groups. The late complications slightly increased in the LCAHF group than in the CF group, but the differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion:LCAHF treatment improves the local control of nasopharyngeal carcinoma without increasing the incidence of long-term complications.

Objective To evaluate the changes of endometrial microcirculation between pre-and postmenopause with magnetic resonance dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion weighted imaging (MR DCE-PWI)and intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI).Methods Thirty-three patients with normal endometrium (premenopause in 21 and postmenopause in 12)confirmed by pathology underwent DCE-PWI,IVIM-DWI and conventional MRI.Quantitative parameters of DCE-PWI and IVIM-DWI in the endometrium were analyzed and compared between pre-and postmenopause groups.Results The DCE-PWI parameters were significantly higher in premenopause group than those in postmenopause one with significant differences in Ktrans (0.161±0.081)min-1 vs (0.097±0.054)min-1 , Kep (0.285±0.145)min-1 vs (0.184±0.119)min-1 and IAUC60 (20.854±10.695)mmol·kg-1 ·s vs (10.481±6.253)mmol·kg-1 ·s. No significant differences were found between the two groups in IVIM-DWI parameters including D,D* and f values.Conclusion DCE-PWI,rather than IVIM-DWI,can be used to quantitatively evaluate the changes of endometrial microcirculation between pre-and postmenopause.

BACKGROUND:Comparative study results between the efficacies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy with Western medicine therapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis remain controversial. Currently, meta-analysis studies mainly focuson comparison of the efficacy between TCM and Western medicine,butlack investigations among TCM therapies. Itmakes usdifficult tofulyunderstand the efficacy of TCM therapy for knee osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacies of TCM therapy with intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid for knee osteoarthritis using a networkMeta-analysis method.
METHODS:PubMed, The Cochrane Library (tissue 10, 2015), EMbase, CNKI, CBM, VIP, Wangfang databaseswere searchedup to October 20, 2015forrelevantrandomized controled trialsaddressingthe efficacies of TCM therapyversusintra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid for knee osteoarthritis. Two reviewers independently selected the studies, extracted information, and assessed the quality of included trials. Data extraction from eligible studies was pooled and meta-analyzed using Stata12.0 and WinBUGS1.4.3softwares. Odd ratios with their 95% confidence interval were estimated as effect size between treatments.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 59 randomized controled trials involving 6 155 patients with knee osteoarthritis and 12 treatment strategies were included. The results of network meta-analysis showed that TCM comprehensive therapy wassuperior to the TCM monotherapy and intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid. Among thesetherapies, the efficacy of needle scalpel combined with acupuncture is optimal. TCM comprehensive therapies may be the best choice to treat patients with knee osteoarthritisofKelgren-LawrenceII-III. Morelarge-scaleand wel-designedrandomized controled trials are stil warranted due to the limitation of the present study.

Background and purpose:The role of urine N-telopeptides of type Ⅰ collagen(uNTX) and serum bone spesifi c alkaline phosphatase(sBAP)was confi rmed in osseous metastasis of solid tumors. The aim of this article was to study their role in multiple myeloma (MM). Methods:Thirty eight MM patients (22 new diagnosed, 12 relapsed or refractory, 4 plateau patients ) were examined. Ten age-matched healthy volunteers were used as controls. Urine and serum samples were taken from all patients and controls before therapy, after 3 months and 6 months chemotherapy. Urine samples of NTX, serum samples of BAP were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Results:Urine NTX concentrations were signifi cantly higher in newly diagnosed and relapsed or refractory patients than that in plateau patients and controls. Serum BAP concentrations were signifi cantly lower than that in plateau patients and controls. In newly diagnosed patients, urine NTX values were signifi cantly higher in stage Ⅲ disease than in stage Ⅰ/Ⅱdisease, serum BAP values were signifi cantly higher in stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ disease than stage Ⅲ disease. At the third month, urine NTX were signifi cantly lower and serum BAP were signifi cantly higher as well as at the sixth month. But osteolytic lesions in X–ray had no change at the sixth month. Conclusions:Bone turnover markers uNTX, sBAP and bone destruction are closely interrelated in multiple myeloma, they change much earlier than X-ray. They are useful in monitoring progression and the therapeutic effect of myeloma.

Objective To evaluate mesenteric muhidetector row CT angiography (MDCTA) in the diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI).Methods In this study,43 cases of AMI proven by clinical criteria,or operation and pathology underwent whole abdomen MDCT precontrast,arterial phase and venous phase scan with 0.6 mm collimation.The mesenteric arteries and veins were reconstructed by using volume rendering (VR),maximum intensity projection (MIP),thin slab maximum intensity projection (TSMIP) techniques,and abnormal CT angiography findings as well as abnormal bowel and mesentery were analyzed.Results It was found that AMI was caused by superior mesenteric artery (SMA) embolism (n =4),SMA thrombosis (n = 6),mesenteric and portal venous thrombosis (n = 13),SMA dissection (n =5),strangulated bowel obstruction (n = 10) and vasculitis (n = 5).MDCTA showed clearly the position,shape,severity and extent of the vascular occlusion,narrow and dissection.It could also demonstrate the abnormal course and direction of the vessels including vascular gathering,shift,tortuosity,retortion,and twist.Furthermore,the pathogenesis of various conditions including atherosclerotic plaque,emboli,thrombosis,dissection,tumorous invasion,strangulated bowel obstruction and vasculitis could be identified by MDCTA.Conclusion MDCTA can clearly demonstrate direct signs leading to AMI,and identify AMI and its etiology at early stage,with the combination with its indirect findings.
