Objective To investigate the influence and the clinical significance of interleukin-2 (IL-2) on T lymphocyte subgroup after chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia patients. Methods Fiftyfour acute myeloid leukemia patients were divided into treatment group (chemotherapy combined with IL-2,28 cases) and control group (pure chemotherapy,26 cases) by radom digits table. In treatment group, IL-2400 000 U was dripped after chemotherapy for 14 days. Then the T lymphocyte subgroup change before and after treatment was examined. Results After 14 days' treatment, the levels of CD3 (0.6026±0.2275 ),CD4(0.4972±0.1224),CD56(0.3016±0.1053 ) in treatment group were significantly higher than those before treatment(0.3926±0.2010,0.2264±0.1190,0.1729±0.1226) and in control group (0.4352±0.1930,0.2738±0.1362,0.1937±0.1268)(P< 0.05). Conclusion IL-2 treatment can obviously raise the levels of T lymphocyte subgroup and can raise the immunologic function.

Objective To conduct a Meta?analysis to compare the safety and short?term efficacy of laparoscopic assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG)and open distal gastrectomy(ODG)in D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer. Methods The literatures from Janurary,1990 to August,2014 on the evaluation of safety and short?term efficacy of LADG versus ODG in D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer were collected. The quality of the enrolled articles was evaluated and the software Revman 5.2 was adopted to analyze the cura?tive effect. Results Totally 25 articles met the inclusion criteria,including 5 044 patients with treatment of D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer. There was no significant difference in the cleaning number of lymph nodes between LADG and ODG in patients undergoing D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer. The operation time was longer for LADG than ODG,but the postoperative evaluation in?dexes such as the intraoperative blood loss and the short?term efficacy of LADG were superior to ODG. Conclusion In the treatment of locally ad?vanced distal gastric cancer,there were differences in the safety and short?term efficacy between LADG and ODG,and surgeons should give concern to these differences in clinical practice to select appropriate surgical approaches. Further research is still needed to explore the long?term efficacy.

Objective To observe the effect of Huangxiong Kangshuan capsule on serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Ninety-two patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicinefrom July 2013 to December 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into an observation group (47 cases) and a control group (45 cases) by random number table. The control group was given conventional treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, while the observation group was additionally treated by Huangxiong Kangshuan capsule orally taken, once 3 tablets, 3 times a day, on the basis of routine treatment; the duration of treatment was 2 weeks in both groups. After 2 weeks of treatment, the clinical effects of the two groups and the changes of serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were observed.Results After treatment, the levels of serum hs-CRP and IL-6 were decreased significantly compared with those before treatment in the two groups [observation group: hs-CRP (mg/L) was 6.18±2.17 vs. 14.11±3.01, IL-6 (ng/L): 28.10±11.47 vs. 120.83±24.51; control group: hs-CRP (mg/L) was 8.89±2.46 vs. 13.97±2.69, IL-6 (ng/L) was 49.48±16.43 vs. 115.25±24.05], and the degree of decline in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group [hs-CRP (mg/L): 6.18±2.17 vs. 8.89±2.46, IL-6 (ng/L): 28.10±11.47 vs. 49.48±16.43, bothP < 0.01]; the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group [87.2% (41/47) vs. 71.1% (32/45),P < 0.05]. Conclusion Huangxiong Kangshuan capsule can decrease the serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction, and has a role in brain protection and nerve function defect improvement.
