Objective To investigate the effect of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of postoperative pain in patients with anorectal diseases. Methods From November 2015 to October 2017, 70 patients with anorectal diseases underwent surgical treatment in the First People 's Hospital of Yongkang were selected. The simple western medicine treatment was performed in 35 patients with anorectal diseases in the control group,and 35 patients in the observation group were given combined Chinese and western medicine. The total effective rate of the two groups was observed and calculated. The pain score at 2 h,6 h,12 h and 24 h after operation,the incidence rate of postoperative complications were observed. Results The total effective rate of the control group (80. 00% ) was lower than that of the observation group (97. 14% ),the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =5. 080,P < 0. 05). The pain scores at postoperative 2h,6h,12h,24h in the control group were (2. 0 ± 0. 5) points, (3. 6 ± 1. 0)points,(4. 5 ± 1. 0)points,(5. 0 ± 1. 2)points,respectively,which in the observation group were (1. 4 ± 0. 2)points,(2. 0 ± 0. 6)points,(2. 4 ± 0. 5)points,(2. 3 ± 0. 4)points,respectively,the differences were statistically significant(t = 6. 591,8. 116,11. 112,8. 116,all P < 0. 05). The incidence rate of postoperative complications in the control group (17. 14% ) was higher than that in the observation group (2. 86% ),the difference was statistically significant(χ2 = 3. 968,P < 0. 05). The total satisfaction rate of the control group (74. 29% ) was lower than that of the observation group (94. 29% ),the difference was statistically significant(χ2 = 5. 285,P < 0. 05). Conclusion The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is effective in the treatment of postoperative pain in patients with anorectal diseases,which can increase the effective rate and improve the quality of life of the patients, and it is worthy of clinical application.

Ewing's sarcoma is a kind of bone and soft tissue tumor which is highly invasive and mainly occurres in children and adolescents.In recent years,combined chemotherapy,surgery and radiation therapy in treatment of Ewing's sarcoma,patients' prognosis and life quality have been significantly improved.However,over the past 20 years,the treatment of Ewing's sarcoma entered the platform period.The 5-year overall survival rate remained at 55%-75%.Multiple metastasis and recurrence are the main factors of poor prognosis and death.Chemotherapy,radiotherapy and molecular targeted therapy are still the main methods for the treatment of Ewing sarcoma.The side effects,drug resistance and the use of the combination regimen of antitumor drugs have been plaguing the clinical workers.In order to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs and reduce the toxic side effects,Multi-disciplinary and multi-center clinical studies on Ewing's sarcoma patients who suffered from local control or recurrence have been launched by Domestic and European and American countries.As an important supplementary mean for the treatment of Ewing's sarcoma,patients often appear a series of complications after radiotherapy,including the risk of local damage or secondary tumors.Therefore,it is necessary to further clarify the indications of radiotherapy and the timing of preoperative and postoperative radiotherapy.The specific chromosome translocation and the expression of the fusion gene EWS/FLI 1 have been found in Ewing sarcoma.Nevertheless,the mechanisms that drive tumor relapse and metastasis remain unknown.Molecular targeted therapy can be used to inhibit tumorigenesis and progression by regulating the upstream or downstream target genes of EWS/ FLI1.In conclusion understanding of the current treatment status of Ewing's sarcoma,results of multi-center clinical trials and theory of genomics research will contribute to the design of new biological therapies so as to establish individualized treatment modalities.In this paper,we present a review on the progress of Ewing sarcoma chemotherapy,radiotherapy,molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Objective To investigate the expression of TLR4 mRNA and NF-κB p65 in colorectal carcinomas and adjacent normal colon tissue, and evaluate their roles in the pathogenesis and development in colorectal carcinoma. Methods Sixty-three colorectal carcinoma samples and respective adjacent normal colon tissue samples ( well differentiated : 23 cases; moderately differentiated: 17 cases; poorly differentiated:20 cases; other differentiated type: 3 cases; lymph node metastasis: 27 cases; no lymph node metastasis:36 cases; Dukes A: 18cases;Dukes B: 14 cases Dukes C: 22 cases; Dukes D: 9 cases) were collected. The expression of TLR4 mRNA in colorectal carcinomas and adjacent tissue were detected by RT-PCR. The expression of NF-κB p65 was detected by WB. Results The expression of TLR4 mRNA in colorectal carcinomas and adjacent tissue were 86.42 ± 15.16 and 32.74 ± 9.44. It was significantly higher in carcinoma tissue than that in adjacent tissue ( t = 22.354, P < 0.01 ). The expression of TLR4 mRNA in well, moderately and poorly differentiated coiorectal carcinomas were 69.58 ± 11.27, 64.57 ± 13.91 and 97.12 ± 15.44 respectively. TLR4 mRNA in poorly differentiated colorectal carcinomas was significantly higher than that in well, moderately differentiated ones ( t = 11.304 and 12.223, P < 0.01 ). There was no difference between lymph node metastatic carcinomas ( 89.91 ± 13.33 ) and carcinomas without metastasis (81.16±13.59,t =0.959,P>0.05). The expression of TLR4 mRNA in the Dukes A stage tumors (59.05±11.66) was lower than that in Dukes B(90.34 ±0.08),C(91.41 ± 15.21), D(101.46 ±17.43), respectively ( t = 8.708,9.664,9.525, P < 0.05 ). The expression of NF-κB p65 in colorectal carcinoma(0.63 ±0.11) was significant higher than that in adjacent tissue(0.34 ±0.08,t = 18.266,P <0.01 ). The expression of NF-κB p65 in well, moderately and poorly differentiated colorectal carcinomas were 0.46 ± 0.09, 0.72 ± 0.11 and 0.77 ± 0.14, respectively. The experssion of NF-κB p65 in well differentiated colorectal carcinomas was obviously lower than the woderately and poorly differentiated carcinomas (t = 11.223 and 10.875, P <0.01 ). There was significant difference between the expression of p65 in lymph node metastatic carcinomas(0.82 ± 0.17) and non-metastatic carcinomas(0.57 ± 0.12, t =18.269,P<0.05). The expression of NF-κB p65 in Dukes A colorectal carcinomas (0.39 ± 0.06) was lower compared with the Dukes B(0.72 ±0.12), C(0.69 ±0.14) and D carcinomas(0.76 ±0.13,t =10.442, 9.889 and 9.721, P < 0.01 ). Conclusions The enhanced expression of TLR4/NF-κB p65 are closely associate with clinical stage and pathologic grade. NF-κB p65 may be an molecular marker of lymph node metastatic. The increased expression of TLR4/NF-κB p65 promote the pathogenesis and development of colorectal carcinoma.
