The principle of the relative operating characteristic (ROC) curve, along with constructing curve, a cutoff value between therapeutic and non-therapeutic concentration, formula for calculation, and statistic analysis, was introduced. Illustrated by an example, ROC was an important tool in analysis of the fixed effect model. It can beapplied to determine the relationship between a blood concentration and its action, probability of certain concentration producing therapeutic action, and high or low limit of therapeutic window, etc.

In clinical and experimental therapeutics, the quantitative analysis of drug interaction will supply a tool for optimizing and evaluating a combination in the study of compound drug, the design of combination drug therapy, and the evaluation of traditional medicine formulae. This paper listed the systematic methods of the quantitative analysis, including the weighted modification method for optimizing constituents, doses and ratio in combination, the parameter method and the reflection method for dynamic analysis of drug interaction, and a comprehensive method for multiple response indexes. The software CoDrug about these methods also was introduced.

Qualitative data are often converted to quantitative data by ranking in pharmacodynamical statistics. Some common questions were listed and discussed with examples in this paper, including ranking method and the selection of statistical method.

A novel type of carbon nanotube-coated Au nanoparticle and [bmim]BF4 composite modified glassy carbon electrode was fabricated by a layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. The electrochemical performance of acetaminophen (ACOP) on the modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The Nafion/GNPs/RTIL/MWNTs/GC electrode showed an excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of ACOP and accelerated electron transfer between the electrode and ACOP. For ACOP, the reversible electrochemical process was observed on the Nafion/GNPs/RTIL/MWNTs/GC electrode, while irreversible electrochemical process occurred on the GC electrode. For the Nafion/GNPs/RTIL/MWNTs/GC electrode, the anodic peak potential of ACOP was moved from 0.562 V to 0.413 V, with a potential drop of 149 mV. At the same time, the reduction peak potential was 0.384 V, and the potential difference was only 29 mV. It was shown that the modified electrode possessed higher electrocatalytic activity and more sensitive effect for the detection of ACOP than both MWNTs/GC electrode and GC electrode. The effects of the different experimental conditions on the electrochemical behaviors of ACOP were explored. Under the optimum conditions of preparation and experimental, the linear calibration curves of ACOP were obtained in a wide range of 2 x 10(-1) to 4.0 x 10(-4) mol x L(-1) with a correlation coefficient 0.999 2 and a detection limit of 2.6 x 10(-8) mol x L(-1) (the ratio of signal to noise, 3:1). The recovery rate was 97.9%-100.8%. This method can be used to determine ACOP in paracetamol tablets with satisfactory results.

Gastric cancer incidence is one of the most common malignancies in our country and is the second most common in the worldwide,clinic doctors always emphasize early diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer patients,in order to reduce the mortality,however,most patients' condition often have been in the late fall and these patients were badly in efficacy.Looking for a new diagnosis way is a medical prddem,with molecular biology advance and gene chips was improved,it is possible for the early screening of gastric cancer.This assay aims to briefly analyse the role of gene chips in the research progress of early gastric cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and side effects of icotinib combined with a subarachnoid space implantable pump for the treatment of leptomeningeal metastases (LM) from lung adenocarcinoma. Methods:Seven cases of LM from lung adeno-carcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor mutation were included in the study from March 2011 to September 2015. With the aid of anesthetists, all patients were implanted with subarachnoid space implantable pumps to drain the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and then treated with icotinib (125 mg, three times a day) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities. After 4 weeks, the efficacy and tolerability of icotinib were evaluated on the basis of symptoms, tumor markers from CSF, and brain gadolinium-enhanced magnet-ic resonance imaging scans. Results:Among the seven patients evaluated, no patient had complete response, two patients had partial response, four had stable disease, and one had progression. The patient who was progressive died at a month after therapy. The sur-vival time of all the other patients was more than 4 months. The common adverse effects of icotinib were skin rash and diarrhea, main-ly in grades 1 and 2. No infection of the local subarachnoid drainage tube was found in the abdominal wall. Conclusion:Icotinib com-bined with a subarachnoid space implantable pump for the treatment of LM from lung adenocarcinoma may be effective, and the tox-icities are tolerable. This method could also obviously alleviate the clinical symptoms and improve the quality of life of the patients, worthy of further study.
