Objective To evaluate the short-term efficacy and adverse effects of capecitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy of gastric cancer after resection in aged patients. Methods Sixty aged patients with gastric cancer (Ⅱ-Ⅲstage) after resection were randomized to two groups: the high dose group,in which 30 patients were treated least 6 therapeutic cycles (3 weeks for 1 cycle). Efficacy and adverse effects were assessed after 2 cycles. Results Two years' survival was 80% (24/30) in the high dose group and 77% (23/30) in the low dose group (χ2=0.54,P=0.45). The recurrence-free survival time was 19.2 months and 19.0 months respectively (χ2=0.82,P=0.36). Patients in the high dose group experienced more significant nausea/vomiting (Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade) than patients in the low dose group (χ2 = 9.82,P=0.02). However,there was no significant difference on grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ nausea/vomi-ting between the 2 groups(χ2=0.34,P=0.71). The incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ mucositis,hyperbilirubinemia and hand-foot syndrome (HFS) in the high dose group were higher than in the low dose group( P=0. 04,0. 02 and 0.04,respectively). There was no difference on weakness,lack of appetite and neutropenia between the two groups. in aged patients with similar efficacy and better tolerance of adverse effects compared to capeeitabine [2500 mg/

Objective: To evaluate the curative effect of auricular point sticking therapy on vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis. Methods: With the single-blind randomized controlled trial design, the treatment group of 42 cases was treated by auricular point sticking therapy and the control group of 38 cases was treated with herbal medication. Fifteen days made up a treatment course, and the total treatment period should be no more than 2 course of treatment. Results and Conclusion: The total effective rate was 97.6% in treatment group and 73.7% in control group; there was a statistically significant difference between two groups, and the treatment group is marked superior to control group.

Through all times and around the world,those who discipline themselves with high ethical standards can be regarded as truly noble men successfully taking advantage of moral authority of the people.Books on the art of war in ancient China raised a couple of ethical requirements for those superior military officers and governors.If officers want to affect his men′s mental state and generate the army′s spirit of combat effectiveness,they must assume a certain degree of ethical responsibility.Also,active share of ethical responsibility calls to take the initiative to develop a sense of ethical responsibility.Furthermore,to develop a sense of ethical responsibility calls for the building of ethical self-consciousness to participate in the training of ethical responsibility.However,the participation of ethical building consciousness can not be separated from the ethical sense of responsibility.In conclusion,each part of the three links,complementing each other,can not be biased and separated.

Keratoconus is a relatively common, bilateral, non-inflammatory corneal ectasia characterized by thinning and scarring of the central portion of the cornea,seriously destroyed the vision. The aetiology of this condition is probably multiple factors,such as collagen themry,genetic themry,epithelia themry,etc.Now,recent investigations devote to gene,and think it one of the major aetiological factors. Laboratory studies suggest a role for degradative enzymes and proteinase inhibitors and a possible role for the interleukin-1 system in its pathogenesis, but these roles need to be more clearly defined. It has well-described clinical signs, but early forms of the disease may go undetected unless the anterior corneal topography is studied. Contact lenses are the most common treatment modality. When contact lenses fail, corneal transplant is the best and most successful surgical option.

Objective To observe and analyze the four changes of plasma D- dimer and coagulation in pregnant women at different stages of pregnancy, and to explore the value of the test. Methods The subjects of this study were 120 pregnant women who underwent routine physical examination in our hospital, according to different stages of pregnancy (early pregnancy, middle pregnancy, late pregnancy, and before delivery) Four D- dimer and four blood coagulation tests were performed in pregnant women, and the results were observed and compared. Results During the pregnancy, D- dimer has increase trend (P<0.05); early in pregnancy, pregnancy and late pregnancy, PT has shortened(P<0.05); pregnancy, APTT has shortened (P<0.05), at the end of pregnancy and parturient period, showing a significant shortening (P<0.05); phenomenon in early pregnancy to mid pregnancy stage, FIB increased significantly (P<0.05), and at the end of pregnancy to perinatal period, with a sharp increase (P<0.05). Conclusion It is of great significance to perform dynamic monitoring of of plasma D- dimer and coagulation four indices in pregnant women during pregnancy.

Objective To compare the features of cerebral palsy with pachygyria or periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). Methods 15 children with pachygyria and 35 children with PVL were included. Their diagnosed age, clinical subtype, complications, Gross Motor Func-tion Classification System (GMFCS) were compared. Results The diagnosed age was significantly younger (P<0.001), the GMFCS was lower (P<0.05), the incidence rate of epilepsy was higher (P<0.05), and the intelligence was significantly lower (P<0.001) in the pachygyria group than in the PVL group. Conclusion Cerebral palsy children with pachygyria develope worse than that with PVL, as well as their prog-nosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate relationship between the degree of placenta praevia, vaginal bleeding and clinical outcomes. MethodsRecords of 89 patients with placenta praevia(mild praevia group 43; severe praevia group 46) were reviewed retrospectively, and outcomes were compared. ResultsThe gestational age at the first bleeding and diagnosis was significantly smaller in severe group than that in mild one (P<0.05). The incidence of antepartum haemorrhage, the times of bleeding and the episodes of heavy bleeding in two groups showed no significant differences(P>0.05). The gestational age at diagnosis and delivery and birthweight were significantly smaller in women with antepartum bleeding than in those without( P<0.01 ). The number of deliveries by emergency caesarean section in women with antepartum bleeding was significantly higher than that in those without (P<0.01). ConclusionThe clinical outcomes of placenta praevia are highly variable. There are no obvious clinical features that are typical in predicting the clinical outcomes. The number of bleeding episodes and the degree of praevia are not associated with outcomes, so they can't be the proof to determine the treatment plan ahead of time.
