OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics and regularity of antineoplastic medicine-induced adverse drug reaction (ADR) occurred in our hospital. METHODS: 162 antineoplastic medicine-induced ADR cases reported in our hospital from 2005 to 2008 were analyzed statistically in respect of patients’age and sex, categories of drugs, route of administration, drug combination,organs and systems involved in ADR and clinical manifestation, etc. RESULTS: Of the total 162 ADR cases, proportion of men was similar to women. 68 cases (41.98%) were old persons aged older than 60. 123 cases(75.93%) were single use of drugs, 39 cases(24.07%) were combined use of drugs. 39.51% of ADR cases were induced by antineoplastic medicine made from plants and took up the first place in terms of incidence of ADR. 36.42% of ADR cases dominantly manifested as lesion of skin and its appendants. CONCLUSION: ADR monitoring of antineoplastic medicine should be strengthened to ensure rational and standardized use of antineoplastic medicine, avoid or reduce the occurrence of severe ADR.

Background and purpose:How to predict the survival length for terminally cancer patients is very important, it will help families and physicians to make decisions. This study aimed to reveal the factors related to the survival time of terminally ill cancer patients who received palliative care in our hospital. Methods:The clinical data of 271 dead patients treated in the Department of Palliative Care, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from Mar. 2007 to Mar. 2012 were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test were used to determine the corresponding factors with survival. Cox regression model was used to examine the independent prognostic factors. Different survival length of groups divided by different prognostic indexes was compared by log-rank test. Results:Seven factors were found to be related with the survival according to univariate analysis. The related factors were Karnofsky performance score (P<0.001), dyspnea (P=0.037), delirium (P=0.015), high white blood cell count (P=0.012), low lymphocyte percentage (P=0.030), high lactate dehydrogenase (P<0.001) and low serum albumin (P=0.001). The multivariate analysis selected four independent factors:Karnofsky performance score<30, high lactate dehydrogenase, low serum albumin and delirium.Conclusion:The study shows the clinical survival prognostics with Chinese characteristics. The combination of the seven factors may be useful but more studies in this area deserve further investigated.

Objective To explore more safe and effective method for the treatment of common bile duct stones combined with cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV).Methods We report 2 cases of post-treated patients in this series.In order to avoid severe bleeding caused by dissection of bile duct,we applied different methods to remove common bile duct stones compared with traditional operation.We removed common bile duct stones in one patient through cystic duct approach during operation.Two years later,we performed endoscopic duodenal incision (endoscopic sphincterotomy,EST) for him because of lower common bile duct stenosis with sand like stone.Another patient,on the other hand,we conducted the duodenal papilla incision during operation and removed common bile duct stones with choledochoscope through the bottom of common bile duct.Result Of the two patients,all of the three kinds of operation had good curative effects.Conclusions For the patients with common bile duct stones combined with CTPV,we should select appropriate treatments to avoid dissection of bile duct in front of the dilated and tortuous collateral veins during the operation,which is the key to guarantee the safety and success of the operation.EST is the preferred method of the treatment.Open operation with choledochoscopy via cystic duct approach or duodenal papilla incision through distal common bile duct to perform stone extraction also appears to be effective and safe.

Chemotherapy is one of the primary treatment for malignant tumors.Platinum drugs as the most commonly used cycle non-specific clinical antitumor drugs show good curative effect in the clinical treatment of solid tumors,however,resistance or cross-resistance of theplatinum analogous has become one of the main obstacles for platinum and its analogous,which limits their clinical applications.miRNAs play an important role in biology,including cell proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis,stress tolerance,and physiological metabolism.There is a close relationship between miRNAs target gene regulation and tumor drug-resistance.This article is mainly about the role of miRNAs in tumor of platinum resistance.

Self-adaptive interference canceller based on LMS algorithm is an excellent filter which can adjust system parameter automatically. With good robustness, it can be applied to every signal abstraction and data treatment, especially bioelectric signals. By this algorithm, both the power frequency interference and baseline shift, for example, the ones of ECG signals, can be successfully eliminated.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare mesopocous molecular sieve SBA-15 surface molecularly imprinted polymer (SBA-15@MIP),and analyze the application of SBA-15@MIP in the determination of active micro-component. METHODS:Using baica-lein as the template molecule,acrylamide(AM)as the function monomer,tetrahydrofuran/ethanol(3∶2,V/V)as the polymeriza-tion solvent,ethylene glycol dimethacrylate(EGDMA)as the cross-linker,and 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile(AIBN)as the initiator, SBA-15@MIP was synthesized on the surface of mesopocous molecular sieve SBA-15. The surface morphology and structure of the obtained polymer were characterized by TEM and FT-IR. Finally,the imprinted polymer was used as an adsorbent for solid-phase extraction (SPE) to detect baicalein in plasma samples by HPLC. RESULTS:It revealed that the well-ordered one-dimensional pore structure of SBA-15 was still preserved in the successful synthesized SBA-15@MIP,and baicalein molecule was imprinted suc-cessfully. The limit of detection(LOD)and limit of quantification(LOQ)for baicalein in plasma were 3.5 ng/ml and 11.6 ng/ml, respectively;the average recovery was 94.4%(RSD=2.9%). CONCLUSIONS:SBA-15@MIP is prepared successfully,and can be applied for the determination of active micro-component.

Objective To compare the effects of expectoration by high frequency back tapping with both hands and traditional expectoration by tapping back with a single hand on pulmonary complications in esophageal cancer patients having undergone radical resection with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Methods Sixty patients after radical resection for esophageal cancer with VATS from May 2013 to January 2014 were set as the control group, in which expectoration by tapping the back with a single hand. Another 60 patients after radical resection for esophageal cancer with VATS from February 2014 to July 2014 were set as the observation group, in which the expectoration by high frequency tapping the back with both hands. The two groups were compared in terms of pulmonary complications. Result The incidence of atelectasis and pulmonary infection in the observation group were lower than those with a single hand in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion For the patients having undergone radical resection of esophageal carcinoma with VATS, the expectoration with high frequency back tapping with both hands is more effective in lowering atelectasis rate than that with a single hand.

Objective To reveal the incidence and types of acid-base disorder (ABD) of critically ill patients in emergency.Methods The clinical data of critically ill patients in the resuscitation room were collected prospectively from December 1,2008 to March 31,2009.Both arterial and venous blood samples were collected to detect arterial blood gas analysis and serum electrolytes simultaneously and their ABD were analyzed.Results Of totally 766 cases,the incidence of ABD was 97.3％ (745 cases).Among ABD the simple acid-base disorder ( SA BD) was 149 cases ( 20.0％ ),dual acid-base disorder (DABD) 525 (70.5％ ) and triple acid-base disorder (TABD) 71 (9.5％ ).After calculating anion gap (AG),the incidence of TABD increased from 12 to 71 cases and the missed diagnosis rate were 83.1％ (59 cases) and after calculating potential HCO3-,the incidence of TABD increased from 8 to 71 cases and the missed diagnosis rate were 88.7％ (63 cases).The age of patients with TABD (77.9 ± 10.7 years old) was older ( P ＜ 0.01 ) than that of other two groups of SABD and DABD as well as APACHEⅡ score (25.9 ± 7.1 ) and incidence (22.5％ ) of MODS in TABD were higher (P ＜0.01 ).The mortality of patients with TABD on the first,second,third and seven day were 14.1％,23.9％,26.8％ and 38.0％ respectively and significantly higher than those in SABD and DABD (P ＜0.05 or P ＜0.01 ).Conclusions The incidence of ABD was 97.3％.Calculation of AG and potential HCO3- would help find metabolic acidosis and TABD.The age and APACHEⅡ score were key factors to poor prognosis of patients with TABD.

Background and purpose:The quality of life and psychological status of the advanced cancer patients has been widely valued. This study aimed to analyze the psychological status of the advanced cancer patients and its influence factors.Methods:The patients who were hospitalized in the palliative care department of Fudan University Cancer Center from Sep. 2011 to Mar. 2013 were included in this study. Self-rating anxiety scale(SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), EORTC QLQ-C30, social support revalued scale and symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90) were recorded and analyzed.Results:Fifty-six patients were included in this study, 18 were depression and 24 were anxiety while 16 of them were depression together with anxiety. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to their psychological status. There’s no signiifcant difference between the age and the social support between the two groups, while the mental disorders group have lower scores on body function, role function, emotional function and social function. The mental disorders were positive correlated with the symptoms score while negative correlated with the quality of life.Conclusion:There’s a high ratio of mental disorders in advanced cancer patients, the symptom scores and quality of life are related to mental disorders. We should pay more attention to the patients who were suffered more from the illness or had lower QOL scores.
