Objective To compare the efficacy and prognosis of epirubicin combined with paclitaxel and epirubicin combined with docetaxel in the treatment of breast cancer.Methods Patients in the study group were treated with epirubicin and paclitaxel, while the control group was treated with epirubicin plus docetaxel.Results The two groups of breast cancer patients by the end of the treatment were valid for 5 years of follow-up, five year survival rate(86.67%)than the control group(68.89%), the study group the recurrence rate(4.44%)than in the control group(15.56%), the data had significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The epirubicin is conducive to breast cancer patients for better disease control effect and prognosis than star, paclitaxel combined with chemotherapy.

ObjectiveTo study the clinical value of prenatal ultrasound in diagnosis of fetal ductus arteriosus stenosis and the guiding significance for clinical delivery.Methods Ultrasound images and perinatal outcome of 12 cases of ductus arteriosus stenosis diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound were retrospectively analysed,the sonographic features were summarized.Results Fetal ductus arteriosus was thin in 12 cases with inner diameter of 1.6 - 2.1 mm.Color Doppler flow imaging showed multicolored blood flow in ductus arteriosus,spectral Doppler showed single peak continuous decreasing high-speed shunt spectrum,peak systolic velocity 256- 404 cm/s,end diastolic velocity 90 - 205 cm/s.Twelve fetuses were associated with right atrial and ventricular dilatation,pulmonary artery widened and moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation,maximum reflux velocity 324 - 515 cm/s,maximum transvalvular pressure gradient 41 - 106 mmHg.There were 7 cases of emergency cesarean section delivery and 5 cases of oxytocin induced labor delivery,11 cases were full-term infants and 1 case was premature infant.12 fetuses were followed-up after birth by 1 to 3 months of echocardiography until the cardiac structure and function returned to normal,ConclusionsPrenatal ultrasound has important clinical value in diagnosis of fetal ductus arteriosus stenosis,it is helpful to assess the fetal right heart function and guide the clinical delivery.

Objective To investigate the effect of Avastin (bevacizumab) combined with preoperative FOLFOX neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the prognosis of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).MethodsA total of 80 cases of patients with LARC treated with total mesorectal excision (TME) in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2016 were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, 40 cases in each group.The control group were treated with preoperative FOLFOX chemotherapy while the observation group were treated with bevacizumab injection, based on the treatment in the control group.21 days was a cycle of chemotherapy, and both groups were treated for at least 4 cycles.After 6 cycles of chemotherapy, operation was carried out, following TEM principle.The short-term and long-term prognosis, rate of R0 resection, the incidence of postoperative complications and side effects of chemotherapy were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups in the good response rate of chemotherapy, the rate of R0 resection, the incidence of postoperative complications, the 1-year and 3-year survival rates and 1-year disease-free survival rate.The incidence rates of gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression in the observation group were 52.5% and 52.5%, respectively while in the control group were 25.0% and 20.0%, respectively (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the incidence rates of grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ gastrointestinal reaction and bone marrow suppression between the observation group and the control group (5.0% and 15.0% vs 2.5% and 5.0%).The 3-year disease-free survival rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (82.5% vs 60.0%) (P<0.05).ConclusionThe application of bevacizumab combined with preoperative FOLFOX chemotherapy in the treatment of LARC can improve the 3-year disease-free survival rate, without increasing postoperative adverse reactions and serious side effects of chemotherapy.
