Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(12):907-909
Recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck(SCCHN) has a poor prognosis. Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and improves the effect of several chemotherapeutical agents including cisplatin. Several clinical trials have shown that cetuximab combined with chemotherapy was effective and well tolerated for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic SCCHN. The strengths of such treatment are its high efficacy and low toxicity.

Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(5):365-368
Carcinomatous meningitis (CM) represents a devastating metastatic complication of malignant tumour, and the incident of CM is increasing in recent years. The diagnosis is made by both cerebrospinal fluid by lumbar puncture and radiological investigation, mainly magnetic resonance imaging. The therapeutic management of CM includes intrathecal administration of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and palliative care, but the treatment of CM remains controversial Individualized treatment and combined modality therapy are recommended at present, and the utilization of targeted drug may increase therapeutic effect of CM.
5.Effects of erythropoietin on expressions of myocardial cell Bcl-2 and Bax in rats with acute myocardial infarction
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2009;16(11):1930-1931
Objective To study the effects of erythropoietin on expressions of myocardial cell Bcl-2 and Bax in rats with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods Rats that survived after AMI were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. Treatment group were given EPO 3000 U/kg, A total of 3 d(preoperative 1 day, the same day, after 1 day),control group at the same point in time given the same amount of saline by the intraperitonealy injection. After 4 weeks, hemodynamics and left ventricular function were measured with catheterization,Bcl-2 and Bax were analyzed by immunohistochemical method. Results After 4 weeks, LVSP and +dp/dt_(max) in treatment group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05),LVEDP and-dp/dt_(max) were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05);Change of heart rate in two groups were no difference(P>0.05).The expression of myocardial cell Bcl-2 in treatment group were significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.05);the expression of myocardial cell Bax and Bcl-2/Bax in treatment group were significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The protective effect of EPO on ischemia and infarction of cardiac function may be related to the reduction of cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
6.Observation about preventive effects of chemophlebitis by lidocaine mortar
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(29):17-18
Objective To know the preventive effects of chemophlebitis by lidocaine mortar. Methods Divided 77 patients with chemophhbitis into the observation group (42 cases) and the control group (35 cases) randomly. Lidocaine mortar was used in the observation group to prevent chemophlebitis, while the 50% MgH2SO4 was used in the control group. Compared the preventive efficacy between the two groups. Results There were 13 cases and 2 cases of chemophhbitis in the control group and the obser-vation group respectively. The incidence rate of chemophlebifis in the observation group was significant low-er than that of in the contrel group. The condition of chemotherapy-associated pains and continue time in the observation group were better than in the control group. Conclusions The preventive efficacy of chemophlebitis by lidocaine mortar is obviously.

8.Advances in research of ATP-binding cassette transporters in drug resistance mechanisms of intractable epilepsy
International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;41(6):636-639
Epilepsy is one of the common diseases in the nervous system with its complicated pathogenesis still remains unknown.The drug resistance mechanism of intractable epilepsy has always been a key point in the research of neuroscience.A possible cause for the drug resistance is the over expression of efflux drug transporters,e.g.ATP-binding cassette transporters,which may decrease extracellular antiepileptic drugs levels in brains of intractable epilepsy patients.ATP-binding cassette transporters are super family of transporter proteins that require ATP hydrolysis for the transport of substrates across membranes,including P-glycoprotein,multidrug resistance-associated protein,major vault protein and breast cancer resistance associated protein.They are major impediment for the AED successful treatment of many forms of refractory epilepsy in human.This paper reviews the research progress on over-expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters and mechanism of drug resistance in intractable epilepsy.
