Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy of oxaliplatin and S-1 vs oxaliplatin and docetaxel for advanced gastric cancer (AGC)patients.Methods From April 201 1 to Janu-ary 201 3,62 cases of AGC were collected in the Fifth People′s Hospital of Qinghai Province.All cases were randomly divided into group A (31 cases)and B (31 cases)by random number table.In group A,oxaliplatin plus S-1 was administered,and in group B,oxaliplatin plus docetaxel was applied.The response rate (RR), time of diseases controlled rate (DCR),progression-free survival (PFS),overall survival (OS)and adverse reactions of the two groups were observed and compared.Results There were no statistically differences between group A and group B in RR (48.4% vs 54.8%),DCR (67.7% vs 77.4%),mPFS (5.4 months vs 6.2 months),mOS (9.0 months vs 9.8 months),and the statistical values were as follows:χ2 =0.26,P =0.71 1 ;χ2 =0.73,P =0.393;χ2 =0.51 ,P =0.473;χ2 =0.03,P =0.829.The incidence of degrees Ⅰ-Ⅱperipheral neuropathy (9.7% vs 22.6%),nausea and vomiting (1 2.9% vs 32.3%)in group A were signifi-cantly lower than those in group B (χ2 =5.78,P =0.002;χ2 =4.63,P =0.01 6).Conclusion Both the two chemotherapies are similar in therapeutic effect for patients with AGC.Oxaliplatin plus S-1 treatment may be better than oxaliplatin plus docetaxel in the tolerance of patients.

BACKGROUND: Breast augmentation with polyacrylamide hydrogel injection has been used nearly for a decade in some Chinese medical therapy units. More patients need to be removing injections or a second augmentation due to complications. More attention should be paid for possibility of complications concomitant with breast malignant tumor. OBJECTIVE: Two cases of breast invasive duct carcinoma diagnosed after removing injection were analyzed retrospectively in order to increase the importance of detection rate of breast malignant tumor. METHODS: Two cases in all 41 assembled patients which were removed polyacrylamide hydrogel injections from 82 breasts were diagnosed with invasive carcinoma. The characteristics of medical history, physical diagnosis, image diagnosis and pathological examination were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The detection rate of breast malignant tumor should arise more attention in patients requiring removal of polyacrylamide hydrogel injection. The following aspects should be emphasized such as the comprehensive analysis for the results of physical diagnosis and image diagnosis, tumor-free operation with more samples from suspicious nodules and frozen pathological examination. The principles of cancer surgery should be followed in pathological diagnosed cases in case of iatrogenic metastasis and spread of breast malignant tumor.

Objective To compare the effect of injection with botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) before serial casting with BTX-A injection alone for the treatment of spastic equinus in children with cerebral palsy (CP).Methods Sixty patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group with 30 patients in each.Those io the experimental group received a BTX-A injection followed by serial casting,while the controls received BTX-A only.Before treatment and 1 month,3 months and 6 months after treatment,the dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM)of the ankle recorded while the knee in flexion and extension were measured,and gait was evaluated with an observational gait scale.Results Before treatment there was no significant inter-group difference in any of the 3 outcome measures.At 1 montb,3 months and 6 months after treatment,there were significant inter-group differences in all 3 measures,and also significant differences compared with before treatment in both groups.Conclusion Lower muscle tone,greater ankle mobility and better gait patterns can be promoted in CP children with spastic equinus using serial casting combined with BTX-A injection.The improvements may last longer than those after BTX-A injection alone.

Objective To analyze the correlation between serum interleukin (IL)-33 and early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by testing the serum IL-33 of patients with RA.Methods One hundred patients with early RA whose disease duration was less than 1 year were selected,40 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and 70 healthy controis were selected.The serum IL-33 levels of the three groups were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The correlation between serum IL-33 levels and clinical features of patients with RA were analyzed.Kruskal-Wallis test,Mann-Whitney U test,X2 test and Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results The level of serum IL-33 in RA patients [(282±871)pg/ml ] was significantlv higher than that of the healthy controls [(7±38) pg/ml,P

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of immunoFISH technology in detecting tumor cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for adjuvant diagnosis of meningeal metastasis from lung cancer. Methods:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) were detected by im-munoFISH technology in CSF samples from 16 patients with meningeal metastasis from lung cancer and 8 patients with non-tumorous brain diseases. Meningeal metastasis from lung cancer was diagnosed on the basis of neurological symptoms and confirmed by en-hanced magnetic resonance imaging and CSF cytological examination. Results:The number of CTCs was significantly greater in pa-tients with meningeal metastasis from lung cancer than in those with non-tumorous brain diseases (P<0.01). The critical point of the maximum correct diagnosis index (Youden index) was regarded as the judging criterion for the positive tumor cells in CSF based on the receiver operating characteristic curve. When one tumor cell existed in 7.5 mL of CSF, the area under the curve was 0.875, and the 95%confidence interval ranged from 0.705 to 1.000. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, effectiveness, positive predictive values, and neg-ative predictive values were 75.0%, 100.0%, 83.3%, 100.0%, and 66.7%, respectively. Conclusion:ImmunoFISH technology provides great significance in detecting CTCs in CSF to diagnose meningeal metastasis from lung cancer.
