Objective To investigate the effect of S-1 on serum thymidine kinase-1 ( TK1 ) , vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and tumor biomarkers, estrgen levels and quality of life in patients with advanced breast cancer.Methods 69 cases with advanced breast cancer from January 2014 to May 2015 in the hospital were selected and randomly divided into two groups.34 cases in control group were treated by conventional therapy, and 34 cases in experimental group were treated with S-1.Serum TK1, VEGF and IGF-1, tumor biomarkers, estrogen level and quality of life score were compared pre-and post-treatment.ResuIts Compared with control group, the levels of VEGF, IGF-1 and TK1 were lower (P<0.05), serum CA125, CEA and CA15-3 concentrations were lower (P<0.05),the LH, E2 and E1 levels were lower (P<0.05) and the survival quality score was higher in experimental group ( P<0.05 ) .ConcIusion S-1 has better clinical curative effect in treatment of patients with advanced breast cancer, and effectively reduce serum TK1, VEGF, IGF-1, tumor biomarker levels, improve the quality of survival, which has important significance.

Objective To investigate effect of Bailing Capsule combined with Xihuangwan in stage III breast cancer patients of ER, MMP-9, tumor markers and estrogen.Methods 76 Patients with stage III breast cancer were selected and divided into control group anf experiment group.Control group were treated by clinical routine method.Experiment group were treated on the base of the control group with Bailing Capsule combined with Xihuangwan.The ER, MMP-9, tumor markers, estrogen, survival time and quality of life were observed and compared.ResuIts Compared with control group, the survival period of the experiment group were longer(P<0.05),the quality of life score were higher(P<0.05),the ER, MMP-9, E2, E1 level and the serum levels of CA15-3, CA125 and CEA were lower(P<0.05).ConcIusion Bailing capsule combined with Xihuang Pill can effectively reduce stage III breast cancer tumor marker levels, decrease the ER, the expression of MMP-9 and estrogen level and prolong survival time, improve the quality of life, has the vital significance to the clinical therapy for stage III breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status(RBANS),which is specially for assessing cognitive functions in non-dementia mental disorders.Methods: Altogether 451 healthy adults who were recruited from both rural and urban areas in Beijing were evaluated with the RBANS,and 97 adults were tested with the Brief Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale(WAIS) and Wechsler Memory Scale simultaneously(WMS).Forty-one adults were reevaluated with RBANS 12 weeks later.The data was analyzed by using correlation analysis and factor analysis.Results: The Cronbachs'? coefficient of RBANS total scale was 0.90;the Cronbachs'? coefficients of immediate memory,visuospatial,language,attention and delayed memory were 0.86,0.68,0.67,0.85 and 0.80 respectively.The test-retest reliability of total scale was 0.90 and that of subscales were 0.65,0.68,0.53,0.80 and 0.79 respectively(P

0 05].The sensitivities in pSS patients with lower lip biopsy and in pSS patients without lower lip biopsy were 88 3% and 84 6% respectively.The total sensitivity was 87 0% and the specificity was 97 8%.At least 11 2% of pSS patients with negative anti SSA/SSB antibodies were diagnosed by lower lip biopsy.Conclusion The new international classification criteria for pSS are feasible in Chinese patients.It has a high sensitivity of 87 0% and a high specificity of 97 8% which may serve as diagnosis criteria in routine clinical practice
