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.

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.

Heat stroke (HS) is a life-threatening illness characterized by core body temperatures above 40 ℃ coupled with central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction, including delirium, convulsions, and/or coma. Its morbidity has increased dramatically in the past few decades. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is not only the most serious complication of HS, but also the leading cause of deaths. Understanding the pathogenesis, characteristic and advancement pattern of MODS caused by HS will have a profound effect on the clinical treatment, research and mortality decrease. The pathogenesis, injury characteristic of each system and organ, and treatment methods were summarized in this review so as to deepen the clinical recognition of this disease.

Objective:To analyze the feature of anaphylactic shock induced by alprostadil injection. Methods: Totally 1624 pa-tients treated with alprostadil injection in our hospital from January to March 2014 were undergone adverse drug reaction monitoring. Six cases of anaphylactic shock induced by alprostadil injection were statistically analyzed. Results:6 cases of anaphylactic shock induced by alprostadil injection occurred in the department of intervention and most of thd reaction happened in arterial injection. Two lot num-ber of drugs were in high frequency. Patients showed a sharp fall in blood pressure, chest discomfor, palpitation, shortness of breath, paleness, sweating and other symptoms. After anti allergy, blood pressure, oxygen the rapy and other treatment measures vital signs gradully stabilized. Conclusion:Anaphylactic shock induced by alprostadil injection is in correlation with the administration mode of artery injection. The change of the patient' s condition and vital signs should be closely observed when we inject the patient with alpros-tadil injection. We must prevent the occurrence of serious adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the influence of prepubertal exposure to estradiol benzoate (EB)in the male reproductive system of the rats and the natural process of tissue repair,and to clarify the possible mechanism of the reproductive toxicity of exogenous estrogen.Methods Ninety 2 1-day-old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 experimental groups (low dose of EB group and high dose of EB group,n=30)and control group (n=30). The rats in the experimental groups were injected with EB dissolved in peanut oil at 15(low dose of EB group)and 15 000μg·kg-1 (high dose of EB group)respectively,the rats in control group received equal vehicle injection only,once every other day for two weeks from postnatal day(PND)21 to 34.All of them were normally fed after the drug usage was stopped.The testes were harvested at the stages of PND 60 and PND 125(n=15 at each stage).The serum levels testosterone of (T),follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),prolactin (PRL)and estradiol(E2)of the rats in various groups were detected with radioimmunology method and the weights of the rats in various groups were recorded;the histological changes of the testes tissue were observed with light microscope.Results On PND60,compared with control group,the T levels in low dose of EB group and high dose of EB group were decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01);the FSH,LH and E2 levels were increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the PRL levels had no change(P>0.05);the weights of testes were decreased(P<0.01);the histological changes of the testes of the rats in experimental groups included seminiferous tubules maldevelopment, decreased cell number of seminiferous epithelia.Compared with low dose of EB group,the T and FSH levels in high dose of EB group were decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01),the E2 and LH levels were increased(P<0.01),the PRL level had no change (P>0.05 ), and the weight of testes was decreased (P<0.01 );the diameters of seminiferous tubules were smaller,there was no sperm in high dose of EB group while there were a few sperms in low dose of EB group.On PND125,compared with control group,the T,FSH and PRL levels in low dose of EB group and high dose of EB group were decreased(P<0.01),the E2 levels were increased (P<0.01);the LH level in low dose of EB group was increased(P<0.05),the LH level in high dose of EB group was decreased(P<0.01), and the weights of testes in high dose of EB group were decreased(P<0.01);the diameters of seminiferous tubules and the cell number of seminiferous epithelia were increased but not apparent change.Compared with low dose of EB group,the T,LH levels in high dose of EB group were decreased (P<0.01),the E2 and FSH levels were increased(P<0.01),the PRL level had no change(P>0.05),and the weight of testes was decreased(P<0.01);there was still no sperm in high dose of EB group, the number of sperms was increased in low dose of EB group, but it was still lower than that in control group.Conclusion EB is harmful to the reproductive system and can change the normal serum sex hormone levels,even induces the irreversible injury.

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.
