OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of Ziyin Huoxue Granule (ZHG) combined glucocorticoids and antibiotics in treatment of radiation pneumonitis.

METHODSTotally 70 radiation pneumonitis patients were assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 35 in each group. All patients received glucocorticoids and antibiotics. Patients in the treatment group additionally took ZHG, one dose per day for 4 successive weeks. Watters clinical-radiologic-physiologic (CRP) score, Karnofsky Performance Status Scale (KPS) , and acute radiation injury classification [set by Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)] were observed in the two groups before and after treatment. The application time for antibiotics and glucocorticoids was compared between the two groups.

RESULTSAll patients completed this trial, and nobody dropped out or died. There was no statistical difference in Watters-CRP scores, KPS, or RTOG between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). Compared with before treatment in the same group, RTOG classification was obviously improved in the two groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, Watters-CRP scores decreased, KPS increased, the application time for antibiotics and glucocorticoids was reduced (P < 0.05). The efficacy of RTOG classification was better in the treatment group than in the control group, but with no statistical difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONZHG combined glucocorticoids and antibiotics was superior in treating radiation pneumonitis to using glucocorticoids or antibiotics alone in elevating Watters-CRP scores, shortening the application time for glucocorticoids and antibiotics, and improving patients' physical conditions.

Objective To study the clinical significance of the serum angiopoietin-2(Ang-2) in the diagnosis,recurrence,invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.Methods The serum Ang-2 and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) levels in 158 patients with gastric cancer (gastric cancer group) and 30 normal controls(control group) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) technique respectively.The serum Ang-2 and CEA levels were also measured 2 weeks after operation in gastric cancer group and reexamined in the recurred gastric cancer patients in 2 years after operation (recurred and metastasis group).The correlation between the serum Ang-2 level and pathologic c haracterization of gastric cancer was evaluated.Results The serum Ang-2 and CEA levels in gastric cancer group [ (331.8 ±64.3),(42.6 ±37.3)μg/L] and recurred and metastasis group [(318.7 ±72.9),(40.5 ±36.7)μg/L] were significantly higher than those in control group [ (187.4 ± 32.7),(4.2 ± 3.1 )μ g/L] (P ＜ 0.01 ),and the serum Ang-2 level 2 weeks after operation [ (211.6 ± 75.1 ) μ g/L ] was significantly decreased to the control group (P ＞ 0.05 ),while the serum CEA level [ (33.4 ± 30.6) μ g/L ] was still significantly higher than the control group (P ＜ 0.01 ).The sensitivity of the serum Ang-2 for diagnosis of gastric cancer was markedly higher than that of the serum CEA (P ＜ 0.01 ).There was correlation between serum Ang-2 and degree of tumor differentiation,TNM pathological staging,lymphatic metastasis,invasion depth and tumor size (p ＜0.01 ),but there was no correlation between serum Ang-2 and tissue classification and location of gastric cancer (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The serum Ang-2 level is suggested to be a valuable gastric cancer marker and conduce to the diagnosis of gastric cancer,the monitoring of recurrence after operation and evaluation of prognosis.

AIM:To investigate the effect and safety of intravitreous injection of conbercept ( 0. 5mg ) on macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion ( CRVO) . ·METHODS: According to the selective criteria, from October 2014 to October 2015, 48 cases ( 48 eyes ) of patients with macular edema secondary to CRVO were collected, which were divided randomly into conbercept group ( 24 cases, 24 eyes ) and control group ( triamcinolone acetonide 4mg/0. 1mL, 24 cases , 24 eyes ) . The best-corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure, intravitreous injection, fundus oculi, central macular thickness ( CMT ) and related complications were observed before and 1wk, 1, 3, 6 and 12mo after intravitreous injection. · RESULTS: There was no difference on BCVA, intraocular pressure, intravitreous injection, fundus oculi and CMT between the two groups before operations ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences (P>0.05) of the BCVA between two groups after treatment for 1wk, 1, 3, 6 and 12mo. Before and after treatment, the decrease of CMT in conbercept group was respectively 130. 17 ± 1. 72μm, 253. 33 ±3. 14μm, 318. 00±1. 41μm, 20. 01±1. 21μm and 15. 09 ± 1. 41μm, and no related complications. The decrease of CMT in control group was respectively 132. 5± 2.07μm, 249.67±1.21μm, 317.50±4.23μm, 18.01±1.41μm and 16. 09 ± 1. 31μm, and no related complications. There were no significant differences (F=6. 882, P=0. 663>0. 05) of CMT between two groups after treatment for 1wk, 1, 3, 6 and 12mo. Injection times were respectively 2. 83 ± 0. 72 and 3. 17 ± 0. 71 in control group and conbercept group, and the difference between two groups has no statistical significance (P>0. 05). There were 4 cases (17%) of paracentesis of anterior chamber, 3 cases ( 13%) of intraocular hypertension and 1 case ( 4%) of complicated cataract in control group. There was no related complications in conbercept group. ·CONCLUSION: Intravitreous injection of conbercept for macular edema secondary to CRVO is effective, safe and less complications.

Objective To study the expression of insulin receptor(INSR)in endometrial cell line Ishikawa3-H-12,and the effects of insulin on proliferation,cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of Ishikawa3-H-12 cells.Methods Immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR methods were used to investigate the expression of INSR in Ishikawa3-H-12 cells.The effects of insulin at different concentrations and different time on proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle distribution of endometrial carcinoma cells were observed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay and fluorescence-activated cell sorting technique.Results(1) We demonstrated the expression of INSR in Ishikawa3-H-12 cell line.(2)Incubation with insulin stimulated a dose- and time-dependent proliferation response in Ishikawa3-H-12 ceils with the peak response occurring at 48 hours with 1?10~(-4)mol/L insulin incubation[proliferative rate:(340.2?15.9)%,vs control (100%),P

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the balance function of injured lower limb by dynamic posturography. METHODS: Using the dynamic posturography instrument, the postural evoked responses of sixty-two normal people and two hundred and fifty-eight people with injured lower limb bones and joints were detected. The test was included sensory organization test (SOT) and adaption test (ADT). The results of two groups were compared by t test. RESULTS: Compared with the normal people, the impaired people had significant statistical differences in balance scores of SOT3-SOT6 and proportion score of dynamic proprioception (P < 0.05). There was no obvious decrease in ADT. CONCLUSION The balance function of injured lower limb significantly decreases.

Objective To explore the clinical application of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in gastroin- testinal nutrition among critically ill patients.Methods Twenty-two patients were undertaken percutaneous endo- scopic gastrostomy under the lead of gastroscope.The puncturatio site was located in anterior wall of stomach.Results All the procedures were performed successfully for one time.Intraoperational blood pressure was very steady.At the same time,intraoperational SpO_2 of the patients all exceeced 97%.The bleeding amount and operation time were respectively (3.8?1.9) ml and (15.5?2.3) min.Severe complications such as gastrostoma,gastrocolic fistula, pneumoperitoneum,refluxing or aspiration of gastric juice,inhalant pneumonia didn't occur after the operation.Con- clusion Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy was safe and feasible among critically ill patients who needed gastroin- testinal nutrition because of its slight injury,little bleeding and shorter operational time.
