OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy,safety,vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and matrix metallopro-teinase-2 (MMP-2) of docetaxel combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel combined with cisplatin (DDP) in the treatment of ad-vanced ovarian cancer. METHODS:120 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were randomly divided into docetaxel combined with carboplatin group(60 cases)and paclitaxel combined with DDP group(60 cases). Docetaxel combined with carboplatin group received 70 mg/m2 Docetaxel injection,intravenous infusion of 1 h,d1;50 mg/m2 carboplatin injection,intravenous infusion of 1 h,d2. Paclitaxel combined with DDP group received 135 mg/m2 Paclitaxel injection,intravenous infusion of 24 h,d1;30 mg/m2 DDP for injection,intravenous infusion,d3;60 mg/m2 Paclitaxel injection (a maximum of 2.0 m2) by intraperitoneal infusion,d8. 3-week was regarded as 1 treatment course,and it lasted 6 courses. Clinical efficacy,VEGF,MMP-2,progression-free survival, overall survival before and after treatment,mortality rate within 2 years of treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were compared. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in the objective response rate,disease control rate,mortal-ity rate,incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups(P>0.05). The progression-free survival in docetaxel combined with car-boplatin group was significantly longer than paclitaxel combined with DDP group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differences in VEGF and MMP-2 level between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treat-ment,VEGF and MMP-2 level in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and VEGF at different time points and MMP-2 level after 4 weeks,8 weeks and 12 weeks of treatment in docetaxel combined with carboplatin group were lower than paclitaxel combined with DDP group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Docetaxel combined with car-boplatin and paclitaxel combined with DDP shows similar efficacy and safety in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer,but docetaxel carboplatin combined with is superior to paclitaxel combined with DDP in reducing VEGF and MMP-2 and improving pro-gression-free survival.

Objective On the basis of developing a new animal model for oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) injection into subarachnoid space in mice, this research was to explore the temporal dependence and spatial distribution of OxyHb- induced apoptosis in the mouse brain cells in vivo and the mechanism of neurocyte injury induced by OxyHb. Methods The animal model for OxyHb injection into subarachnoid space in mice was developed. Mice were divided randomly into the experimental group (n=40) and the control group (n= 35). The control group received saline injection (50 μL ) and the experimental group received OxyHb injection (50 μL ), both into the subarachnoid space. The mice of the two groups were subdivided according to different postoperative time (3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h). The apoptosis or necrosis of cells was distinguished with microscopy (HE staining), transmission electron microscopy and TUNEL method. Results The distribution of apoptosis was mainly in the ipsilateral neocortex and bilateral hippocampal gyrus. The apoptotic mouse brain cells showed morphological changes in the experimental group by HE staining and transmission electron microscopy. The count of TUNEL-positive cells showed substantial increase in the experimental group, and there was a significant difference between the control and experimental groups, and the number of OxyHb- induced apoptotic cells decreased with time. Conclusion OxyHb in subarachnoid space in mice can induce apoptasis, but not necrosis of mouse brain cells in viro. The apoptotic brain cells show the pattern of temporal dependence and spatial distribution. It is suggested that the early treatment should be the method of first choice for treating the hemorrhagic brain injury.
