Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of liver function in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic resection.Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 234 patients after hepatic resection for HCC(214 men and 20 women),form January 1991 to June 2002 at Southwest Hospital.Survival rate was analyzed by using the actuarial life-table method.Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to compare survival rate of our patients with different liver function.Results Kaplan-Meier log-rank analysis revealed that gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT)(?~(2)=13.44,P=0.000 2),alkaline phosphates (ALP)(?~(2)=7.56,P=0.006 0),total bilirubin(TBIL)(?~(2)=16.73,P

Acadamy is the basis of discipline construction,and the public trust is the life of academy.However,the decline of public trust has become prominent in our science field.This paper is aimed at revealing the potential factors for the decline,and to propose measures to counteract them,so as to to remodel the public trust in academia.

Traditional Chinese medicine plays more and more important roles in treating malignant tumor.Great amount of clinical and basic researches manifested that Chinese medicine can stable tumor Jesion,prolong survival time,improve life quality and so on.As TCM entering an era from sporadic treatments to systemic and standard treatments for malignant tumor,evidence-based medicine leads the basis for it.

Phytoestrogens (PEs) and estrogen receptorβ(ERβ) have close relationship with breast cancer. PEs preferentially binds to ERβ rather than ERa. Although there are still some arguments, it provides a new though for researching the mechanism of Phytoestrogen-containing herbs on breast cancer and exploring the essence of TCM theory.

Progress in Cocaine toxicology research,especially in i ts toxicological mechanisms on the central nervous and cardiac-cerebral vascular systems, was reviewed in the last 5 years.The main problems with the current resear ch work and the future research direction were pointed out.

Objective The prospective study was trying to explore the altering tendency of plasma concentration of E2, P and PAS after TCM intervention for post-surgery breast cancer patient who received endocrine therapy (tamoxifen).Methods By randomization, parallel, coincidence measures and the lab. technologies of AXSYM registered at Abbott lab. in the USA, plasma concentration of E2, P and FAS were tested before and after treatment. Results The results of biochemical test of plasma E2, P and FAS concentration of the two arms showed no significance difference before and after the intervention,indicating the side effects relating to TAM had nothing to do with plasma E2, P and FAS level. Conclusion It could be predicable that there must be some other by-pass ways initiating breast cancer rather than the way directly altering the level of plasma concentration of E2, P and FAS.

Objective By previous overview of patients treated in our hospital, this study highlights on the intervention effects of TCM treating principle of regulating liver Qi and tonifying kidney Yin on the adverse reaction of TAM on breast cancer patients in post surgery. Methods Perspective study with the measures of randomization, and paralleling and synchronization control was conducted in the research. Results symptoms such as flush, insomnia, night sweat, palpitation, depression and heat sensation in the chest, palms and soles were improved significantly; while manifestations such as nausea, vomiting, irregular menstruation, bitter taste and dry mouth showed no significant changes. QOL changed significantly. Conclusion The application of treating principle of regulating liver Qi and tonifying kidney Yin is effective in reducing side effects caused by TAM. This result further improved the theory of TCM that the nature of liver is active, although the liver belongs to Yin in physique and but Yang in function.

Objective To provide solid data for TCM treatment and research of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) by investigating its syndromes distribution.Methods 180 patients diagnosed of TNBC in Department of Oncology,Guang'anmen Hospital from Janurary 2007 to November 2012 participated in this clinical trial.Eight principals syndrome differentiation,and Qi,Blood and viscal syndrome differentiation were used.According to the syndromes diagnosis standard,the differentiation of one single syndrome firstly and then multi-syndrome were conducted and related variables were analyzed finally Results 404 symptoms presented in all 180 patients.Qi deficiency syndrome (35.89％) and blood stasis syndrome (32.18％) showed statistical difference when compared with blood deficiency syndrome (3.22％),yin deficiency syndrome (4.95％),yang deficiency syndrome (3.96％),spleen-dampness syndrome (3.47％),qi stagnation syndrome (7.43％),toxic heat syndrome (4.95％) and dampness-heat syndrome (1.49％) (P＜0.01,x2=124.709,116.007,127.813,126.913,105.411,116.007,140.015; 118.273,105.447,117.630,120.445,97.411,105.447,110.273respectively).92.22％ syndroms were multi-syndrome including 23.89％ bi-syndrome,32.22％ tri-syndrome and 25.56％ qua-syndrome.Conclusion The syndromes of TNBC were complicated but with predominant Qi dificency and Blood stasis; single syndrome identification should be put in the first place and then combining them together may be practical approaches; Replenishing Qi and activating blood circulation might be breaking through in TNBC treatment.

Objective To study the effects ofYiqi Huoxue Jiedu Recipe on immunomodulatory of patients with advanced ovarian cancer.Methods It was performed in a single-arm, open-label study with 40 patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. All patients were treated withYiqi Huoxue Jiedu Recipe lasting for 4 weeks (200 mL, twice a day). The main endpoint was the quantities of CD4+CD25+ cells, CD8+CD28- regulatory T cells and CD8+CD28+ cytotoxic T cells measured by flow cytometry, and the accessory endpoints were variations of symptoms which included pain, fatigue, and numbness etc.Results The quantities of CD4+CD25+ and CD8+CD28- cells significantly decreased compared with those of pre-treatment (P<0.05); the quantity of CD8+CD28+ cell increased significantly (P<0.05). Except for pain, significant improvement showed in fatigue, tinnitus, numbness, poor appetite, abdominal discomfort, insomnia, diarrhea and abnormal urinate (P<0.05).ConclusionYiqi Huoxue JieduRecipe is proved to be effective in regulating immunosuppression advanced ovarian cancer and improving patients’ life quality.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shugan-Yishen formula on Tamoxifen-resistant MCF-7 cell line(LCC9) through HER2-ERK/MAPK-ERα pathway. Methods Four serums were prepared with the method of serum pharmacology:the serum of Shugan-Yishen formula, Shugan-Yishen formula plus Tamoxifen(TAM), blank and TAM alone. After LCC-9 cells were affected in the above-mentioed serums in vitro, the inhibition rate and the level of mRNA as well as the protein expression of HER2, ERα, ERK/MAPK, p-ERK/MAPK were detected. Results MTT showed that TAM alone group、Shugan-Yishen formula group and the Shugan-Yishen formula plus TAM group had higher inhibition rates at 48th hour, the inhibition rates was(6.61±0.129)%, (47.43±2.24)%, (54.19±3.364)%, compared to the blank group, Shugan-Yishen formula group and the Shugan-Yishen formula plus TAM group had a stronger inhibition on LCC9 at 48th hour (P<0.05), and the combination group was better than Shugan-Yishen formula alone(P<0.05), there was no difference between TAM group compared to the blank group(P>0.05). RT-PCR result showed that compared to the blank group, the expression levels of ESR1 mRNA of group of Shugan Yishen formula plus TAM werehigher by and large at 48th hour (P<0.05), the expression of ESR1 mRNA was(2.282±0.185);and the levels of ERBB2, MAPK3 mRNAwere lower(P<0.05), which levels were(0.71±0.095), (0.336±0.058). Western blotting result showed that Shugan-Yishen Formula plus TAM group could markedly decrease the expression of HER2, p-ERK/MAPK of LCC9 at 48th hour (P<0.05), which the expressions were(0.708± 0.072), (0.228±0.034), and the expression of ER-αelevated(P<0.05). There was no significant difference on ERK/MAPK(P>0.05). Conclusions ①The combination of Shugan-Yishen formula with tamoxifen can inhibit the LCC9 cells. The inhibition effect reaches the peak at 48th hour. ②The mechanism of Shugan-Yishen formula plus TAM combination effects on human breast cancer TAM-resistant cell line LCC9 may improve the sensitivity of ERαby inhibiting the expression of HER2, ERK/MAPK.
