Objective To evaluate efficacy and adverse reactions of gensenoside Rg 3 combined with synchronous docetaxel and radiation treatment in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods 62 elderly patients with NSCLC were randomly divided into 2 groups:treatment group (n=32) were treated with radiotherapy and intravenous infusion of docetaxel and oral gensenoside-Rg3 at the same time,control group (n =30) were treated with radiotherapy and intravenous infusion of docetaxel at the same time.Objective response rate (ORR),disease control rate (DCR),the long term survival and adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups.Results The objective response rate and the disease control rate in treatment and control groups were 90.6％ versus 83.3％ and 96.9％ versus 90.0％ respectively,and the differences were not statistically significant (both P＞0.05).Median overall survival (OS) time and 1-,2-and 3-year survival rates in treatment and control groups were 17 months versus 10 months,56.3％ versus 43.3％,49.6％ versus 25.0％,and 27.5％ versus 15.0％,respectively,and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =4.19,P 0.04).The common adverse reactions in the two groups were myelosuppression,gastrointestinal reaction,hair loss,fatigue,joint sore.No one discontinued the treatment due to serious adverse reactions.There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusions The gensenoside-Rg3 combined with synchronous treatment with docetaxel and radiation for elderly patients with NSCLC can prolong the survival time,improve quality of life and the prognosis with no significant increase in adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical value of superficial layer coagulation of trigeminal sensory root in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. METHODS The clinical data of 5 cases with trigeminal neuralgia were studied. Head MRI (B-FFE) examinations were made before surgery and operations were performed via retrosigmoidal approach. One case with left facial pain showed 3 arteries with offsets crossing and compressing the left trigeminal nerve. Among 4 cases with right facial pain,3 cases had an artery compressing the right trigeminal and the nerve were distorted and moved from its original site,one case with an artery going with trigeminal nerve sensory root branchlets. All cases were no indications for microvascular decompression and thus were treated with surface coagulation of trigeminal nerve sensory root. RESULTS Pain disappeared instantly after operation and facial sensory were retained. All cases were followed up for 2.4 to 5 years and no recurrences were found. CONCLUSION Superficial layer coagulation of trigeminal sensory root is a safe and effective method for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.

Objective To observe the CT and MR features of hepatic hydatid cyst, and to evaluate the diagnostic value of CT and MR. Methods CT and MR images were retrospectively analyzed in 42 patients with pathologically proved hepatic hydatid diseases, and the relative articles were reviewed. Results Hepatic echinococcosis granulosus occured in 85.71% patients, among which ring like pattern calcification, the ribbon calcification, multiple daughter vesicles and detached membranes within cyst were the main findings. Hepatic echinococcosis alveolaris occured in 14.29% patients, whereas the main finding included calcification, small vacuoles, peninsula sign, geographic sign and colliquative necrosis. For the diagnosis of hepatic hydatidosis, MR was better than CT in the judgement of the cyst wall, detached membranes and fibrous septum, but was inferior to CT in displaying calcification sign. Conclusion Hepatic hydatidosis can be diagnosed either with CT or MR, CT is superior to MR in integrated diagnosis of this disease.

A method for simultaneous determination of 25 kinds of fungicides in cereals, vegetables and fruits using SPE-LC-Q-TOF/MS technique was developed.The samples were extracted with acetonitrile containing 1% (V/V) acetic acid, purified by solid phase extraction (SPE) with a Crabon/NH2 cartridge, eluted with acetonitrile-toluene(3∶1, V/V), separated by a reversed phase C18 column, gradiently eluted with acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid solution (Containing 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate), determined by LC-Q-TOF/MS, and quantified by external standard method.A data base of the accurate mass numbers and a library which contains 25 kinds of fungicides were established.The automatic retrieval of detection results was carried on according to the characteristics of the compound, such as accurate mass, retention time, isotope peak distribution, isotopic ratios, and so on.Based on the above results, the qualitative identifications of the 25 new fungicides were accomplished without the contrast of standard substances.The results indicated that 25 fungicides showed good linearity in the range of 0.02-200 μg/L, and the limits of detection (LOD) and the limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.01-5.00 μg/kg and 0.02-20.00 μg/kg, respectively.The linear relative coefficients were greater than 0.995.The recoveries were in the range 71.8%-114.0% and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were ranged from 0.1% to 21.3% (n=3).The method has some advantages such as simplicity, rapidity and high sensitivity, and is suitable for the rapid determination of the common fungicides in cereals, vegetables and fruits.

Objective:To study the use of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) guided transnasal ileus tube placement in management of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) after liver transplantation.Methods:From January 2015 to December 2019, a total of 30 patients who developed ACS after liver transplantation who were admitted to the Transplantation Intensive Care Unit of Tianjin First Central Hospital were retrospectively studied. According to the way of decompression, these patients were divided into the study group and the control group. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional abdominal decompression, while patients in the study group were treated with DSA guided transnasal ileus tube placement based on management principles developed in conventional abdominal decompression. Changes in intra-abdominal pressure, treatment efficacy rates and liver functions were monitored in the two groups up to 7 days after abdominal decompression.Results:There were 23 males and 7 females, aged (53.4±11.6) years. After treatment, the IAP, portal venous blood flow velocity, bile drainage volume, ALT and AST in the study group were significantly better when compared with the findings before treatment: [IAP: (7.13±3.87) vs (22.73±2.09) mmHg, portal vein blood flow velocity: (34.76±10.31) vs (21.45±6.47) cm/s, bile drainage volume: (198.43±19.94) vs (80.72±9.52) ml/d, ALT: (158.92±67.56) vs (278.73±99.17) U/L, AST: (79.36±15.63) vs (196.71±89.05) U/L], ( P<0.05). After treatment, when compared with the control group, the IAP, portal vein blood flow velocity, bile drainage and TBil in the study group were significantly better [IAP: (7.13±3.87) vs (13.47±6.19) mmHg, portal vein blood flow velocity: (34.76±10.31) vs (24.98±8.54) cm/s, bile drainage: (198.43±19.94) vs (108.73±21.30) ml/d, TBil: (258.85±91.95) vs (343.69±89.45) μmol/L], ( P<0.05). In the control group, the IAP significantly decreased on the fourth day after treatment, ( P<0.05); compared with the significant difference in the study group on the second day after treatment ( P<0.05). After 7 days of treatment, the efficacy rate of the control group was 46.7% (7/15), compared to 86.7% (13/15) in the study group. The difference between the two groups was significant (χ 2=5.400, P<0.05). Conclusion:DSA guided transnasal ileus tube placement for treatment of abdominal compartment syndrome after liver transplantation resulted in a better treatment efficacy rate than conventional treatment.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of 3D conformal radiotherapy for late-stage pancreatic cancer and determine relavent prognostic factors.Methods Fifty patients with advanced pancreatic cancer were divided into 3 groups according to treatment planning: palliative radiotherapy (group A) at 10.8-56 Gy, radiotherapy alone (group B) at 8-60.5 Gy and concurrent chemoradiother-apy (group C) at 10-64 Gy.All patients received 3D-conformal radiotherapy, and smaller multiple ports were used for palliative treatment whereas large fields including pancreatic tumors and adjacent lymph node drainage system were adopted in the beginning of radiotherapy.Concurrent chemotherapy with gemcitabine (200-600 mg/m~2) alone was used with weekly protocol.Results The duration of follow-up was 3-35 months.Forty three patients died during the follow-up for multiple metastasis, de-teriation, secondary infection and hemorrhage.Among the seven surviving patients, 3 received concur-rent radiotherapy, 3 radiotherapy alone and 1 palliative radiotherapy.Only 1 patient was alive in group A.However, the symtoms were relieved in 46% of the patients.The median survival time was 5.07 months whereas it was 4.33 months for patients received less than 45 Gy and 7.33 months for patients received 45 Gy or more.Three patients were alive in group B and the symptoms were relieved in 81% of the patients.The median survival time was 6.65 months whereas it was 4.36 months for patients received less than 45 Gy and 8.33 months for patients received 45 Gy or more.Three patients were a-live in group C and the symptoms were relieved in 89% of the patients.The median survival time was 9.89 months.One patient survived for 3 months after 8 Gy irradiation.The median survival time was 10.73 months for patients received 45 Gy or more.Conclusion 3D-conformal radiotherapy is safe and effective in treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer.The symptom relieving rate and median survival time seem to be related to patient's status, extent of disease, choice of treatment and irradiation dos-age.3D-confromal concurrent chemoradiotherapy leads to the longest survival time in some patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of dezocine combined with sufentanil on continuous epidural analgesia after cesarean section.Methods:Eighty-six pregnant women who were scheduled for cesarean section in Guoyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February to December 2021 were included in this randomized controlled study. These women were divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 43/group). The women in the observation group underwent epidural analgesia with dizocine, sufentanil, and ropivacaine, while those in the control group underwent epidural analgesia with dizocine and ropivacaine. The visual analogue score, Ramsay sedation score, Bruggrmann comfort scale score, and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:At 4, 8, 12, 24 hours after surgery, the visual analogue score (VAS) in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 2.34, 5.89, 15.36, 16.23, all P < 0.05). At 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after surgery, Ramsay sedation score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = -6.31, -7.64, -7.49, -7.41, all P < 0.001). At 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after surgery, Bruggrmann comfort scale score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = -7.60, -10.40, -14.53, -13.80, all P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the number of effective analgesic pump compressions between the observation and control groups [(3.00 ± 1.41) times vs. (7.23 ± 1.31) times, t = 14.42, P < 0.001]. No adverse reactions were observed in the observation group within 24 hours after surgery. Conclusion:Dezocine combined with sufentanil for epidural analgesia can effectively improve the analgesic effects after cesarean section and is highly safe.

Objective To study the effect of quercetin on the apoptosis of human colon cancer HT-29 cells and observe the possible mechanism.Methods Human colon cancer HT-29 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into four groups, including the control group, the 16μg/ml quercetin group, the Traf6 inhibitor group and the 16μg/ml quercetin + inhibitor group. The cells in control group were cultured with complete medium and other groups were treated with quercetin or/and Traf6 inhibitor. Flow cytometry was used to observe the impact of quercetin on the apoptosis of HT-29 cells; Western Blot technology was used to detect the expression levels of Traf6, TAK1, p-TAK1, caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2; RT-PCR was used to investigate the expression level of Traf6 mRNA after treating for 24 h.Results Compared with the 16μg/ml quercetin group, the expression levels of Traf6 (0.59 ± 0.03 vs. 0.96 ± 0.04), p-TAK1 (0.43 ± 0.02vs. 0.72 ± 0.04), caspase-3 (0.59 ± 0.03vs. 0.70 ± 0.04), and Bax (0.48 ± 0.03vs.0.67 ± 0.04) were significantly decreased in 16μg/ml quercetin + inhibitor group(P<0.05). while the expression levels of Bcl-2 (0.54 ± 0.03vs. 0.44 ± 0.02) was significantly increased (P<0.05).Conclusions Quercetin can induce the apoptosis of human colon cancer HT-29 cells and the effective mechanism may relate to the activation of Traf6/TAK1 signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical valuation of different operation methods in treatment primary trigeminal neuralgia by retrosigmoidal approach. METHOD: The clinical data of 165 cases with primary trigeminal neuralgia were studied, all head MRI(B-FFE) examination was made before surgery. According to patients' face sensation and cerebellopontine angle conditions, different operation methods were choose. RESULT: Among of 165 cases, 7 cases with face numbness and sensory loss symptom before surgery, were treated with partial rhizotomy of trigeminal sensory root and nerve combing and all cured, followed-up study 3.5 to 5.0 years and no relapse and face sequelae is same as before; 145 cases with blood vessel compression and no face sequelae were treated with microvascular decompression and nerve combing of trigeminal nerve sensory root, 144 cases were cured and 1 case relieve, 15 cases with herpes simplex were cured after 1-2 weeks, 4 cases with oral lips or tongue numbness were cured after 1-3 months. Followed-up study 3 to 5 years,3 cases relapse and after second same operation methods cured. Among of 13 cases without face sequelae, 5 cases with artery compression were not suit to microvascular decompression and 8 cases without blood vessel compression. All these cases were treated with surface coagulation and nerve combing of trigeminal nerve sensory root, 2 cases with herpes simplex were cured after one week. Followed-up studying of 3.2 to 5.0 years, one case relapse, All 13 cases were cured and no neuralgia relapse and no severe sequelae. Among the 165 cases, two cases died of hemorrhage cephalon in operation or postoperation. CONCLUSION It is a safe and effective way to choose different methods combine to treat primary trigeminal neuralgia according to patients' face sensation and cerebellopontine angle conditions, but the risk of operation should not be ignored.
