Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of oxycodone on the treatment of cancerous neuropathic pain in advanced colon cancer.Methods 80 cases of advanced colon cancer in department of anorectal of Shaoxing Second Hospital of Zhejiang Province from March 2015 to March 2016 were selected and randomly divided into two groups with 40 cases in each group.The control group were treated with routine clinical treatment, and the experiment group were treated with oxycodone treatment on the basis of the control group.The levels of pain score, quality of life score, serum β-EP, calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and prostaglandin E2(PGE2), clinical efficacy and adverse reaction incidence rate changes were compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results Compared with before treatment, levels of the pain score, serum β-EP, CGRP and PGE2 decreased in two groups after treatment, after treatment, the experiment group pain score (2.38 ±0.34), quality of life score (28.39 ± 3.97), serumβ-EP (228.71 ±34.92), CGRP (22.46 ±3.15), PGE2 level (2.45 ±0.35) and the incidence of adverse reactions was 17.50%, were lower than that of the control group the pain score (3.51 ±0.51), the quality of life score (33.53 ±4.76), serum β-EP (246.67 ±34.83), CGRP (30.36 ±4.25), PGE2(3.36 ±0.47) and the incidence of adverse reactions was 40.00%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the total effective rate of the experiment group was 87.50%, higher than that of the control group, the total effective rate was 60.00%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Oxycodone can effectively reduce pain in patients with advanced colon cancer neuropathic pain score, improve the quality of life, and has high clinical efficacy and safety.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Thesium chinensis Turcz extracts on IgA nephropathy (IgAN) rats .Methods The hot water extracted solution of Thesium chinensis Turcz flow through the AB‐8 macroreticular res‐in column repeatedly ,then being eluted with different contents of ethanol to get four part of extract .The IgAN model of SD rats were established by oral intake of bovine serum albumin(BSA ,400 mg/kg) together with injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and CCl4 .Beginning with 8th week ,the positive group(LGT ,10 mg/kg) ,water extract group(TT ,1 .0 g/kg) ,water soluble group(TTW ,0 .4 g/kg) ,high polarity group(TT20 ,0 .4 g/kg) and medium polarity group(TT50 ,0 .4 g/kg) rats were intragas‐tric administrated drug daily ,the normal group control and model control group rats were given with saline(n=8) .During the next 5 weeks treatment process ,the 24 h urine volume ,24 h urine protein concentration ,and quantity of erythrocyte in urine were observed .The levels of TP ,ALP ,ALT ,AST ,Scr and BUN in serum were determined .The expression of IgA deposition was measured by immunofluorescence staining ,and the pathological changes of kidney tissue were assayed after the therapy process .Results After 5 weeks therapy ,the 24 h urine protein concentration ,the quantity of erythrocyte in urine ,and the level of Scr and BUN of TT and TT50 groups were significantly lower than model control .The fluorescence intensities in the me‐sangial area were weaker than model control .Also ,the degrees of renal capsule expansion and mesangial matrix proliferations , and the kidney tubules damage of TT and TT50 groups were weaker than those of model control .Conclusion The water extract and its medium polarity fraction of Thesium chinensis Turcz show good therapeutic effects on IgAN rats .
