Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(18):1195-1198
Objective:To compare the survival of resected gastric cancer patient treated with oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leu-covorin (FOLFOX6) with those treated with oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX). Methods:A total of 147 resected gastric cancer pa-tients accepted the treatment. Among them, 99 were treated with FOLFOX6 and 48 were treated with XELOX. Adverse events and sur-vival rates of the two groups were compared. Results:Incidence of leukopenia and hepatic dysfunction in the FOLFOX6 group was sig-nificantly higher than that of the XELOX group (P<0.05), whereas hand-foot syndrome in the XELOX group was significantly higher than that of the FOLFOX6 group (P=0.016). By contrast, the incidence of other adverse events, such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, nau-sea and vomiting, diarrhea, kidney dysfunction, peripheral neurovirulence, and oral mucositis, was not significantly different (P>0.05) between the two groups. After 1, 3, and 5 years, disease-free and overall survivals between the two groups were not significantly differ-ent (P>0.05). Conclusion:The effects of FOLFOX6 and XELOX adjuvant chemotherapies on long-term survival of resected gastric cancer patients were found to have no significant difference.

Objective To evaluate the preventive effect of compound matrine injection on hepatic lesion caused by chemotherapy. Methods 178 patients after gastric and colorectal cancer resection were enrolled into three groups randomly. 56 patients in group A received MFOLFOX6 regimen treatment only, 62 patients in group B received both normal treatment and combined compound matrine injection,60 patients in group C received both normal treatment and glutathione. The change of liver function were observed. Results There was no the hepatotoxicity of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree in all groups;the incidence of bilirubin and transaminase increasing in group B and C was significantly lower than that group A(P <0.05), but the incidence of ALP/GGT increasing showing no significant difference among the three groups; 72.7 % of the incidence of hepatic lesion in group A happened firstly before the seventh cycle,it was 27.3 % and 33.3 % respectively in group B and group C, the time of the emerging of hepatotoxicity in group B and C was markedly delayed than that group A (P <0.05); there was not significant difference between group B and group C in both bilirubin and transaminase increasing and the time of the emerging of hepatotoxicity (P >0.05). Conclusion Compound matrine injection can prevent and postpone the happening of hepatic lesion caused by adjuvant chemotherapy after digestive tract cancer resection, The result is equal to glutathione. Compound matrine injection also has antineoplastic effects, so the clinical superiority is more obvious.

Objective To evaluate the role of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway in the spinal cord in neuropathic pain (NP) in the rats.Methods Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=36 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group) and NP group.Spared nerve injury was produced by exposing the sciatic nerve and its branches and ligation and transection of tibial nerve and common fibular nerve in anesthetized rats.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured before operation and at 1,4,7,14 and 21 days after operation.After measurement of the pain threshold at 1,4,7,14 and 21 days after operation,the animals were then sacrificed,and the lumbar segment (L46) of the spinal cord was obtained for determination of Shh,Patched (Ptch),Gli1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)expression (by Western blot),Shh,Ptch and Gli1 mRNA expression (by fluorescent quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction),and Shh and GFAP expression (by immunohistochemistry).Results Compared with group S,the MWT was significantly decreased,and the expression of Shh,Ptch and Gli1 protein and mRNA and GFAP in spinal cord tissues was up-regulated in group NP (P< 0.05).Shh was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of spinal dorsal horn neurons and in the gap around glial cells.Conclusion Shh signaling pathway in spinal cord is involved in the development and maintenance of NP in the rats.

Objective To survey the state of internet addiction of vocational college students and explore the effect of perceived social support and loneliness on Internet addiction.Methods In accordance with random cluster sampling,this research used the Revised Chen Internct Addition Scale,Perceived Social Support scale,and UCLA Loneliness Scale to study lnternet addiction among a total of 1 602 vocational college students from three higher vocational colleges in Guangzhou.Results [nternet addiction rate was 9.87%,and Internet dependence rate was 24.78%.Internet addiction had a higher incidence rate among male students than that among female students (x2=19.775,P<0.01).The perceived social support group of vocational college students was low,which indicated serious loneliness based on the Loneliness Scale,and their scores on Internet addiction tendency were higher than those of other groups (P<0.01).The total scores in Internet addiction tendency and perceived social support were negative (r=-0.183,P< 0.01),which indicates positive correlation with loneliness (r=0.243,P< 0.01).The mediating effect of perceived social support and Internet addiction on loneliness was significant,with a mediation rate of 69.63%.Conclusion Internet addiction tendency of vocational college students is a problem that deserves more attention.Low social support and loneliness can increase the incidence rate of internet addiction tendency.Loneliness is also found to be a strong predictor of internet addiction.

Objective To investigate the abnormality of electrocardiography (ECG) of patients with neoplasms after different chemotherapy. Methods The abnormality of ECG data in 632 patients with neoplasms after different chemotherapy in our hospital was analyzed. Results The changes of ST-T was found in 352 cases (55.70 %), arrhythmia in 197 cases (31.2 %), low QRS in 91 cases (14.4 %), cardiac infarction in 2 cases (0.32 %). Conclusion Different chemotherapy can induce abnormality of ECG, especially combined with anthracycline. Pay attention to potential cardiotoxicity of chemotherapeutics and do regular examination of ECG is very important.

Objective To evaluate serum organochlorine pesticides and residues levels in breast cancer pa-tients between the seriously and lightly earthquake-striken areas of Tangshan. Methods 93 patients of breast cancer from seriously earthquake-striken areas and 65 patients from lightly earthquake-striken areas were selected as study subjects,which serum organochlorine pesticides (DDTs and HCHs) levels were detected and compared with gas chromatography/electron capture. Results Serum organochlorine pesticides and residues levels in 158 patients be-tween the seriously and lightly earthquake-striken areas of Tangshan were not normal distributed. The order of detec-tion rate of HCH isomer in breast cancer patients between the seriously and lightly earthquake-striken areas were β-HCH>δ-HCH >α-HCH >γ-HCH. The orders of detection rate of DDT isomer in breast cancer patients between two areas of Tangshan were PP'-DDE > PP'-DDT > OP'-DDT > PP'-DDD. The serum levels of α-HCH,β-HCH, PP'-DDE and PP'-DDD in breast cancer patients between the seriously and lightly earthquake-striken areas were statistically different. Conclusion The levels of organechlorine pesticides and residues in serum with high detection rate in seri-ously earthquake-striken area are higher than that in lightly earthquake-striken area. It is likely that there is an asso-ciation with a large number of organechlorine pesticides sprayed.
