1.Medical treatment of cancer cachexia
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(5):391-394,400
Cancer cachexia is a common syndrome in advanced cancer patients.It is the interactive re-sult between tissue of tumor and organism.Tissue of tumor affects organism by producing cytokines and special tumor agents,meanwhile the reaction of acute phase and aeuroendocrine reaction happen in all over the body.Age,physical activity level and abnormal metabolism of muscle protein of patients are also correlated to cancer cachexia.Now clinical strategy to cancer cachexia is to improve symptoms of patients,such as anorexia,and So on.Along with elucidating the nosogenesis of cancer cachexia,the research of drugs having identified targets becomes focus.

Objective:To discuss the significance of standardized treatment for cancer pain, according to the Cancer Pain Treat-ment Specification (2011 Edition) issued by the Ministry of Health, PR China. Methods:Clinical data of 126 patients with cancer pain, who were admitted to the Department of Medical Oncology, The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, were collected to com-pare the improvement of the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score, number of breakthrough pain, and quality of life score after treatment. The relationships between different pain grades, disease entities, and treatment effect were analyzed. The influence factors of pain relief were also analyzed by using Logistic regression analysis. Results:1). Following standardized treatment, the improvement rate of NRS score has shown significant differences in pain grading (P=0.001) and gender (P=0.000). However, no significant differences were ob-served between different diseases (P=0.112). The improvement rate of the life quality score and the number of breakthrough pain had no significant difference after standardized treatment. 2). The grading of cancer pain and the disease entities had little effect on cancer pain relief. 3). The anti-tumor treatment and“no distant metastasis”were the independent factors that brought about the decrease in NRS and quality of life scores.“No distant metastasis”(P=0.046) was the independent factor that reduced the number of pain out-breaks. Conclusion: The standardized treatment positively affects the NRS score, number of breakthrough pain, and quality of life score. Patients who received anti-neoplastic therapy and who had no distant metastasis showed significant treatment effectiveness in pain management.

Objective To explore the ideal treatment mode of brain metastases by Meta-analysis.Methods Articles were searched for from the databases at home and abroad using English and Chinese keywords.Searching time limited from the databases setting up to December 30,2012.Jadad score was applied to evaluate the qualities of literatures.RevMan5.0 software was applied to perform the Meta-analysis.A totle of 25 articles including 2 750 patients were eligible for the Meta-analysis,which divided into groups with different treatment.Results Compared with monotherapy,combined therapy improved 1-year survival (OR =0.58,95% CI:0.46 ~0.71,P <0.000 01).In combined therapy groups,compared with two methods,three kinds of therapies improved 1-year survival (OR =0.63,95 % CI:0.50 ~ 0.80,P =0.000 1).Compared with local therapy only or systemic therapy only,systemic combined local therapy improved 1-year survival (OR =0.68,95% CI:0.53 ~ 0.86,P =0.001 ; OR =0.59,95% CI:0.41 ~ 0.86,P =0.006).In systemic combined local therapy groups,three kinds of treatments improved 1-year survival compared with two methods (OR =0.52,95% CI:0.35 ~ 0.78,P =0.002).Compared with non-molecular targeted therapy,molecular targeted therapy improved 1-year survival (OR =0.76,95% CI:0.67 ~ 0.87,P < 0.000 1).Conclusion The reasonable treatment for patients with brain metastases is combined treatment with operation,radiotherapy and chemotherapy.There is better curative effect added molecular targeted therapy based on original scheme,if patients have targeted therapy indications.

Objective To observe the image characteristics ofmultispectral scanning laser imaging (MSLI) and OCT in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome (PIHS).Methods A total of 112 patients (224 eyes) of PIHS patients diagnosed in Obstetrics Department of Tianjin First Central Hospital from May 2016 to May 2017 were included in this study.The average age of the patients was 27.00±2.14 years.The average course of the disease was 15.00 ±8.27 days.There were 174 eyes in 87 patients of blurred vision,dazzling and visual fatigue consciously.All patients performed BCVA,direct ophthalmoscope,B ultrasound,confocal scanning laser Ophthalmoscope (cSLO) and spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT).SD-OCT was performed with Spectralis HRA+OCT from Heidelberg Company in Germany to acquire tomographic images.Using Herdelberg's colorful program (MultiColor) based on cSLO and operating in accordance with standard methods,one scan simultaneously obtained blue light reflection based on 488 nm,green light reflection based on 515 nm,and infrared reflection based on 820 nm,synthesis to MSLI.Fundus abnormalities were classified into arterial spasm (stage Ⅰ),arteriosclerosis (stage Ⅱ),and retinopathy (stage Ⅲ).OCT examination was divided into normal and abnormal cases according to the abnormality of retinal morphology and thickness.Results Of the 224 eyes,68 eyes (30.36%) showed normal fundus examination and 156 eyes (69.64%) showed abnormal fundus performance.Among them,28 eyes were stage Ⅰ (17.95%);40 eyes were stage Ⅱ (25.64%);88 eyes were stage Ⅲ (56.41%).Thirty-six eyes (16.07%) showed normal fundus and 188 eyes (83.93%) showed abnormal performance with OCT.Of the 188 eyes with abnormal fundus performance,86 eyes (45.74%) had retinal neuroepithelial serous detachment;56 eyes (29.79%) had RPE detachment;optic disc edema,bulge,and local reflexes in the retinal nerve fiber layer were enhanced and/or the thickness increased in 46 eyes (24.47%).In MSLI,48 eyes (21.43%) showed normal fundus;176 eyes (78.57%) showed abnormal performance.Retinal edema was showed in green on MSLI,serous retinal neuroepithelial layer detachment,RPE layer detachment,retinal nerve fiber layer thickening,accompanied by changes in local retinal structure.The higher the degree of bulge,the darker the color.Consistent with the range of retinal edema revealed by SD-OCT.Conclusions MSLI and SD-OCT images show highly consistent lesions in PIHS patients.MSLI can more clearly show superficial and deep retinal lesions.
