Objective To study the effect and toxicities of paclitaxel combined with platinum(TP) and paclitaxel(Chinese) combined with platinum (PTP) in the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer, and to compare with the combination of cyclophosphamide,adriamycin and platinum(CAP). Methods A retrospective analysis in the treatment of ovarian cancer with paclitaxel and CAP from 2000 to 2004 was done. Including 28 cases in TP, 22 cases in PTP and 18 cases in CAP group. Result The response rate (RR) in TP,PTP and CAP was expectively 53.6 %, 54.5 % and 44.4 %. In frist line chemotherapy, the RR in TP, PTP and CAP was expectively 83.3 %, 62.5 % and 50.0 %; and in second line chemotherapy, the RR in TP, PTP and CAP was expectively 31.2 %, 33.3 % and 25.0 %. Compared the RR of three groups, TP and PTP group were higher than CAP group (P

The multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was applied to detect the SARS-CoV (severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus) specific target cDNA fragments in the present study. The target cDNA fragments of SARS-CoV were synthesized artificially according to the genome sequence of SARS-CoV in GenBank submitted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and were used as simulated positive samples. Five primers recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) were used to amplify the fragments by single PCR and multiplex PCR. Three target cDNA fragments (121, 182 and 302 bp), as well as the three different combinations of any two of these fragments, were amplified by single PCR. The combination of these three fragments was amplified by multiplex PCR. The results indicated that the multiplex PCR technique could be applied to detect the SARS-CoV specific target cDNA fragments successfully.
