Objective To discuss the efficancy of traditional Chinese medicine in treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy .Methods A total of 60 patients who were admitted to our hospital for severe intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP) from January 2009 to December 2012 were randomly divided into two group using random number table .Patients in study group (n=30) took traditional Chinese medicine three times a day plusUDCA twice a day orally .Patients in control Group (n=30)were on‐ly given UDCA twice a day orally .Conventional treatment and care for ICP were given to both groups .Biochemical index (TBA , ALT ,and AST)level ,pregnancy outcome and Caspase‐3 of the two groups were recorded and compared and compared .Results The expressing of Caspase‐3 in placental cytotrophoblast ,syncytiotrophoblast .Decidual cells and interstitial cells of study group were (10 .58 ± 2 .62)% ,(15 .8 ± 4 .02)% ,(10 .17 ± 3 .58)% ,(14 .23 ± 4 .39)% ,respectively ,which were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0 .05) ,which were (20 .46 ± 8 .68)% ,(33 .89 ± 7 .05)% ,(20 .56 ± 4 .23)% ,(28 .29 ± 5 .58)% .TBA ,ALT、AST in two groups were declined ,and ctedy group was better than in control group(P<0 .05) .The index of liver function were all lower in study group than that of control group(P<0 .05) .Incidence rate of neonatal asphyxia was lower in study group than that of con‐trol group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Traditonal Chinese medicine can reduce the expression of Caspase‐3 in study group .It is safe and eflfective in the treatment of ICP .

Objective: To explore the attitude and its influencing factors of patients with cancer towards information disclosure.Methods: 302 patients with cancer were investigated with self-designed questionnaires.Results: The patients' attitudes towards Information Disclosure were significantly affected by the gender,marriage status,personality,duration of cancer information,hospitalization experience and funeral experience,with significant statistical differences﹝P

With the intense development of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer research in recent years, this approach has been used widely in clinical treatment. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can increase the chance of operation for patients with local y advanced breast cancer. Moreover, it can improve breast-conserving rate in larger-tumor patients, thereby improving the quality of life of these patients. However, some controversies regarding the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer patients remain to be resolved. This review focuses on clinical studies and re-recognition of neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a viable treatment for breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine(Dex) preconditioning on neuroapoptosis in hippocampus induced by isoflurane and the expression of CRMP2 proteins in neonatal rats. METHODS: Sixty neonatal rats at postnatal day 7 were assigned randomly into control group, Dex preconditioning control group, isoflurane group and isoflurane with Dex preconditioning groups which at dose of 25, 50 and 75 μg·kg-1. Rats in groups of isoflurane or control were exposed 0.75% isoflurane or air for 6 h. Rats in groups of Dex preconditioning were injected intraperitoneally with different doses of Dex 20 min before exposure and rats in other groups were injected intraperitoneally with 150 μL saline. At the end of exposure, the hippocampus of some rats were separated and proteins expression of cleaved caspase-3, phospho-CRMP2 (p-CRMP2), CRMP2 were detected by Western blot (n=6); other rats were perfused and their brains were embedded by paraffin, the neuronal apoptosis in hippocampus CA1 was detected by TUNEL staining 2 h after exposure (n=4). RESULTS: The number of TUNEL positive cells in hippocampus CA1 of rats in isoflurane group was increased by 434.99% (P<0.001) when compared with control group, Dex at dose of 75 μg·kg-1 significantly inhibited the increase of isoflurane-induced TUNEL positive cells by 71.87% (P<0.001). The expression of cleaved caspase-3 protein in isoflurane group increased by 90.20% (P<0.001) compared with control group, while Dex at dose of 25, 50 and 75 μg·kg-1 reversed isoflurane-induced increase of cleaved caspase-3 by 30.54% and 53.71%(P<0.05)and 96.71% (P<0.001)separately. Isoflurane increase the ratio of p-CRMP2/CRMP2 in the hippocampus by 119.41% (P<0.001), and didn't influence the expression of CRMP2; while Dex at dose of 50 and 75 μg·kg-1 inhibited isoflurane-induced increase of p-CRMP2/CRMP2 ratio by 63.75% (P<0.01) and 77.70% (P<0.01) and increased the expression of CRMP2 by 44.30% (P<0.05) and 62.13% (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Dex Attenuates isoflurane-induced neurodegeneration through inhibitory effect of hippocampal neuroapoptosis in neonatal rats, decrease the ratio of p-CRMP2/CRMP2 and increase the expression of CRMP2 may be one of the mechanisms for neuroprotection and this Conclusion may provide the theoretic foundation for reasonable selection of anaesthetics.

Objective To assess and analyze the efficacy and safety of Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium capsule plus paclitaxel against advanced gastric cancer. Methods Totally 61 patients with advanced gastric cancer were randomly divided into two groups: the treatment group(32 cases) and the control group(29 cases). Patients in the treatment group were treated with Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium capsule (80mg /m2 ) orally, for 14 days continuously, and paclitaxel (175mg/m2 ) on the first day. Patients in the control group were applied with oxaliplatin (130mg/m2 ) on the first day, and the same dose of Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium capsule. The two groups both used three weeks as a cycle. Results All 61 patients were included for analysis. No complete response was ob-served. The overall disease control rate was 84. 4%, 79. 3%, respectively. The median progression free survival time was respectively 5. 6 months and 4. 9 months. The median survival time was respectively 13. 1 months and 13. 6 months. There's no significant difference between the two groups. The adverse effects were mostly tolerable, big part of which grade 1/2, mainly included hematological adverse effects, digestive system adverse effect, fatigue and so on. The incidence of neurotoxic effect of control group was higher than treatment group. Conclusion Tri-weekly paclitaxel combined Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium Capsule is safe and effective in patients with advanced gastric cancer, which is worthy further study.
