OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin combined with tegafur in the treatment of ad-vanced primary hepatic carcinoma after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE). METHODS:120 patients with advanced primary hepatic carcinoma were selected from our hospital during Apr. 2011-Apr. 2013,and then divided into control group and ob-servation group according to random number table,with 60 cases in each group. Both groups received TACE. Control group was given Oxaliplatin injection 0.08 g/m2 after surgery via catheter arterial puming,within 4 h;observation group was additionally giv-en Tegafur capsules 40 mg/m2,po,bid,on the basis of control group. Both group received treatment for 4 months. Clinical efficacy, hepatic function indexes [ALT,AST,TBIL,DBIL] and alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)level were observed in 2 groups;the occurrence of ADR during treatment was recorded as well as 1-year,2-year,3-year follow-up survival rates. RESULTS:Before treatment, there was no statistical significance in hepatic function indexes and AFP(P>0.05). After treatment,disease control rate(78.33%) and clinical benefit rate(93.33%)of observation group were significantly higher than those of control group(48.335,71.67%), with statistical significance (P<0.05). The levels of ALT,AST,TBIL and DBIL in 2 groups were increased significantly,while the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). AFP level of 2 groups were decreased significantly,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). 1-year,2-year,3-year fol-low-up survival rates of observation group were significant higher than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Oxaliplatin combined with tegafur is effective for advanced primary hepatic carcinoma after TACE with good safety.

Objective To discuss application of evidence-based nursing in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing radiotherapy. Methods Evidence-based nursing was used in 33 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing radiotherapy. Results After evidence-based nursing, all the patients actively cooperated with the doctors and nurses, lived through the treatment process smoothly, and radiotherapy complications were reduced or avoided. Conclusions Evidence-based nursing is an idealized nursing method which could reduce or avoid the complications and alleviate the pain of patients and improve the quality of nursing.

Objective To probe into the therapeutic mechanism of Zhixie Tuire Tablet (ZTT) for rotavirus-induced diarrhea. Methods We established the 4-day old Kunming neonatal mice model by infecting group A G3 type of rotavirus,and then gave the inoculated mice with ZTT at the dose of 0.78 g/kg for three days. Fluorescent quantification PCR method was used to detect the changes of sodium glucose transporter SGLT1 mRNA level and radio-immunity method was used for the examination of PGE2 level in neonatal mice small intestine. Results SGLT1mRNA level was lower in ZTT group than that in the normal group,the difference being significant (P 0.05). PGE2 level in ZTT group was higher than that in the normal group,but lower than that in the model group (P

Object To develop a high-performance capillary electrophoresis method to determine ferulic acid concentrations in serum of rats treated with Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BHD). Methods Capillary zone electrophoresis was applied for ferulic acid assay, quantitative determination was based on internal standard and detection was carried on by direct UV. The electrolyte buffer was composed of 25 mmol/L borax-methanol (85∶15). Capillary electrophoresis was performed using a 52 cm (30 cm to detector)?50 ?m fused-silica capillary tube. Separation voltage was 20 kV, sampling time was 3 s, detection wavelength was 320 nm, and the temperature was 30 ℃. Results Ferulic acid was successfully separated within 6 min, the recoveries were 97.2% in serum and 103.28% in BHD, respectively. RSD were 3.73% and 0.91% (n=3), respectively. Conclusion This method can supply reference for the determination of ferulic acid in serum samples and BHD.

Objective To investigate the influences of polyethylene glycol on the solubility and in vitro dissolution of m-nisoldipine,which could provide guidance for chosing formulations of m-nisoldipine. Methods Solid dispersions of m-nisoldipine were prepared by solvent-melting method with polyethylene glycol6000 matrix. DSC and XRD spectroscopy were applied to identify the solid dispersions. The solubility and in vitro dissolution were detected by UV spectroscopy. Results The DSC and XRD map were different from the crude drug and their physical mixtures. The dissolution rates(13,15,17) were faster(35. 31%,38. 71%,41. 48%) than that of the crude drug(26. 80%),and the dissolution rates of the solid dispersions in the same ratio were higher than the physical mixtures. Conclusion DSC analysis indicated that eutectic compounds were produced by the m-nisoldipine and polyethylene glycol,in which polyethylene glycol6000 acts as a carrier. The solubility and in vitro dissolution of m-nisoldipine can be increased.

Objective To investigate the anti-rotavirus effect of Gegen Qinlian decoction on rotavirus (RV)-inducing diarrhea neonatal mice model, and provide evidences for pharmacological and pharmacodynamic studies. Methods Neonatal diarrhea mice model of Kunming family infected with RV-Wa was developed. Symptom, diarrhea ratio and severity level, histological changes of neonatal mice’s small intestine and lung was assessed after Gegen Qinlian decoction (0.78 g/kg) treatment. Results Diarrhea ratio, diarrhea severity level, histological changes of neonatal mice’s small intestine and lung were obviously decreased after Gegen Qinlian decoction (0.78 g/kg) treatment. Conclusion Gegen Qinlian decoction has anti-rotavirus effect on RV induced diarrhea.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for standardizing off-label drug use and guaranteeing clinical rational use of drugs. METHODS:2400 prescriptions were collected from outpatient department of our hospital during Jan.-Mar. 2016 at regular interval, and then divided into super-indication drug use, out-of-dose drug use, out-of-administration route drug use and out-of-group drug use. The out-of-label drug use were analyzed by reseaching package inserts,domestic and foreign guideline,do-mestic and foreign literature,MICROMEDEX Health Care Series database. RESULTS:There were 219 (9.1%) prescriptions of off-label drug use,involving 12 drug types and 38 items of off-label drug use. In mainly manifested as out-of-indication drug use (219 prescriptions,100%),out-of-group drug use (4 prescriptions,1.8%). All off-label drug use were supported by evidence, among which 9 items(23.7%)of off-label drug use were included in MICROMEDEX. Of all the related off-label drugs,Estradiol valerate tabletes(22.8%),Metformin hydrochloride tablets(17.4%)and Ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets(12.3%) were the most common. CONCLUSIONS:All off-label drug use are supported by evidences in outpatient department of our hospi-tal. There are difference in the quality of those evidence. If off-label drug use is necessary in the clinic,it is suggested to fully weigh the advantages and disadvantages and establish related clinical management system and procedure to avoid medical risks and guarantee the safety of drug use.
