BACKGROUND: There are many studies on the quality of life (QOL) of patients with breast cancer at home and abroad at present. But the effect of antidepressants on the QOL of depressive patients with breast cancer is not clear yet.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of fluoxetine on the QOL of depressive patients with breast cancer.DESIGN: A self-controlled and observational comparative study of taking the patient as the subjects.SETTING: The research institute of medical psychology and psychiatric specialty in two universities and a psychiatric department in a city hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Sixty-three female post-operative patients with breast cancer hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital and Second Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University and Dalian Tumor Hospital, with an average age of (50 ± 9) years.INTERVENTIONS: Sity-three depressive patients with breast cancer were treated with fluoxetine for 8 weeks. Treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS) and relative laboratory examinations were used to evaluate the safety of fluoxetine to depression and anxiety of depressive patients with breast cancer. QOL of WHO scale was used to assess the QOL of the patients before and after administration.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURS:①Score of every index of QOL of WHO;②Side effects and adverse effects.RESULTS: The scores of physiology, psychology and independence in QOLafter 8 weeks' administration(16.30 ±2.17, 14.41 ± 1.85, 16. 90 ± 1.53)were significantly higher than those before grouping (13.61 ±2.46,12.98 ± 2.65, 13.65 ± 2.45) ( t = 6.52, P ＜ 0.01; t = 2.41, P＜ 0.05; t= 8.93, P ＜ 0.01 ). No obvious side effect was observed during administration.CONCLUSION: Fluoxetine can significantly improve the QOL of patients with breast cancer and there are fewer side effects during the treatment.

BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in dog triggers myocardial nerve sprouting and sympathetic hyperinnevation. It is possible that RFCA in humans has the same effect. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurons nurture that supports the survival and differentiation of sympathetic neurons and enhances target innervation. Therefore, it is hypothetic that RFCA can increases plasma NGF concentration in humans.OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that RFCA increases plasma NGF concentration in humans.DESIGN: Self-control experiment.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, Tangdu Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Forty-three patients were selected from the Cardiological Department of Tangdu Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from January to June 2005, including atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) (n=18), right-sided accessory pathways (RSAP) (n=13) and left-sided accessory pathways (LSAP) (n=12), 20 males and 23 females, ages 28-65 years, all agreed to participate in the study voluntarily.METHODS: Blood samples were obtained from the peripheral veins before ablation and at 6 hours, 1, 3, 5, 7 days after ablation. The plasma concentration of NGF was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The plasma concentration of NGF was determined with ELISA before RFCA and at 6 hours, 1, 3, 5, 7 days after RFCA in each patient.RESULTS: Total 43 patients who were referred for ablation therapy for AVNRT, RSAP and LSAP were involved in the result analysis without loss. Plasma NGF increased at 6 hours after RFCA. Increased NGF continued to 7 days in the RFCA treated patients. The plasma NGF concentrations at 6 hours, 1, 3, 5, 7 days after RFCA in AVNRT, RSAP and LSAP ablations treated patients were (29.72±7.04), (30.94±5.68),(31.39 ±4.92), (31.06 ±4.56), (29.11 ±4.59), (31.77 ±6.25), (30.69 ±5.10),(31.46±4.96), (30.15±4.01), (30.43±3.14), (31.42±6.75), (31.00±5.20),(32.08±4.62), (30.67±3.71), (29.27±2.75) μg/L, respectively, and all more than that before RFCA [(14.89±2.84), (15.00±2.71), (15.51±2.75) μg/L, P ＜ 0.01]. However, there were no significant differences in the NGF levels at 6 hours, 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after RFCA (P ＞ 0.05). The plasma NGF concentration was not significant different among AVNRT, RSAP and LSAP ablation patients at any given time (P ＞ 0.05). The number of RFCA applications, the procedure time and the total energy have no correlation with NGF concentration at any given time instance.CONCLUSION: RFCA increases plasma NGF concentration in humans and lasts for at least 7 days. The number of RFCA applications, the procedure time and the total energy have no correlation with NGF concentration at any given time instance.

Objective To observe the effect of ligustrazine injection combined with chemotherapy on common immunological parameters in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods Eighty cases diagnosed with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma from January 2013 to January 2015 in the hospital were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 40 patients in each group.The control group received only conventional treatment of chemotherapy and observation group received ligustrazine injection on the basis of control group.The levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-4 and transforming growth factor beta ( TGF-β) wwere compared based on the record between two groups pre-and post-treatment.Results There were no significant differences between two groups in IL-1,IL-4 and TGF-βlevels pre-treatment.After treatment, the IL-1, IL-4 and TGF-βlevels in observation group were lower than those in control group [(41.4 ±11.8)vs (76.0 ±12.2)ng/L,(118.5 ±39.9)vs(223.0 ±47.3)ng/L,(6.7 ±3.2)vs(11.7 ± 2.6)ng/mL, respectively, all P<0.05].Conclusion Ligustrazine injection combined with chemotherapy has an exact effect on improving the immunological parameters associated with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma without significantly increasing side effects, it is worthy of further research and application.

Purpose The clinical advantages of ~(131)I SPECT/CT fusion imaging over planar imaging of differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC) were studied. Materials and Methods 97 DTC accepting ~(131)I therapy after thyroid surgery underwent planar ~(131)I whole-body scan(WBS) and SPECT/CT fusion imaging. The diagnostic performance of ~(131)I-WBS and SPECT/CT were comparatively analyzed. Results The patients had totally 251~(131)I-WBS and 102 SPECT/CT imaging. In comparison to WBS, SPECT/CT fusion images were proven of a few advantages, such as: (1)Fused and 3D images being obtained by SPECT/CT;(2)finding more focus;(3)correctly confirming the position of lesions;(4)locating some ~(131)I negative lesions;and (5)distinguishing physiological or polluted activity. Conclusion ~(131)I SPECT/CT fusion imaging could clearly reveal the shape、sizes、biological status and relation to surrounding tissues, thus providing additional information to ~(131)I-WBS in DTC.

Objective Both underuse and overuse of anticoagulant therapy may lead to severe adverse effects. Emerging portable monitering devices, which provides reliable and accurate measurements, were reported to be potential alternatives to tra-ditional monitering recta-analysis regimens. This study was intended to evaluate the effects of serf-monitoring or serf-management (self-testing and serf-dosing) of anticoagulant as compared with that of traditional monitoring. Methods Relevant trials reported before October 2008 were identified in a number of electronic database and analyzed with software RevMan 4.2. The primary out-comes included death from any cause, major bleeding event, thromboembolic event and the proportion of patients whose interna-tional normalized ratio (INR) were within the therapeutic range. Results Seventeen RCT of serf-monitoring were identified.Pooled estimates revealed significant reductions in the thromboembolic events (odds ratio 0.46, 95% CI0.33 -0.64), all-cause mortality (0.61,0.40 -0.93), and major haemorrhage (0.80, 0.58 - 1.10) with self-monitoring as comparing with traditional monitoring. No difference was noted in minor haemorrhage. 15 trials reported improvements in the mean proportion of patients whose INR were within target range. Conclusion Self-management regimen is superior to traditional monitoring in the outcomes of oral anticoagulation. Patients capable of self-monitoring and serf-adjusting have fewer thromboembolic events and lower mortali-ty than those undergoing self-monitoring alone. However, self-monitoring requires education and training for patients.
