Chemotherapy completion rate can reflect the tolerance and compliance of patients to chemotherapy. Poor tolerance may result in delay or suspension of the comprehensive treatment plan, thus affect the efficacy of cancer treatment. Evaluating methods to improve the completion rate of chemotherapy and reduce the occurrence of delayed chemotherapy has gained increasing attention and is the significant area of study in the field of cancer treatment. Studies have shown that Chinese medicine combined with chemotherapy could improve the quality of life in patients with stage IIIB/IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Objective To investigate the value of MRI in diagnosis of congenital cystic lung disease.Methods The MRI was per-formed in 105 fetuses with congenital cystic lung disease.Subjects were classified into two groups including group A (the gestational age ranged from 12-20 w)and group B (the gestational age>20 w).The MRI and ultrasonography characteristics,as well as path-ologic diagnosis were compared.Results Among 105 cases,there were 80 cases of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM)(including 23 cases of typeⅠ,38 cases of typeⅡ and 1 9 cases of typeⅢ),18 cases of bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS),5 cases of congenital lobar emphysema,1 case of bronchogenic cyst,and 1 case was BPS with CCAM.In group A,MRI can diagnose the majority of the anomalies (41/45),ultrasonography can diagnose anomalies of 39 cases.There was no significant differ-ence of diagnostic accuracy between the two methods (P >0.05).In group B,compared with ultrasonography,MRI could diagnose more cases accurately (58 vs 52),with statistical significance (P <0.05).Conclusion MRI is a reliable method in diagnosing con-genital cystic lung disease;MRI can provide more useful information for the cases in the gestational age >20 w compared with ultra-sonography.

Objective To explore prophylactic bilateral internal iliac arteries balloon occlusion in treating pernicious placenta previa complicated with placenta implantation before cesarean section.Methods Data of 32 patients with pernicious placenta previa complicated with placenta implantation underwent prophylactic bilateral internal iliac arteries balloon occlusion(Balloon Group)were analyzed retrospectively.40 patients with pernicious placenta previa complicated with placenta implantation without treatment of prophylactic bilateral internal iliac arteries balloon occlusion(Control Group)were selected.The mean blood loss and infusion amount during the operation,operative time,newborn Apgar score were compared between the two groups.Results The mean blood loss and infusion amount during the operation,operative time,newborn Apgar score of balloon group was superior to the control group and the difference was significant.All mothers and infants were healthy detected by clinical checking on 3-6 months after birth.Conclusion Prophylactic bilateral internal iliac arteries balloon occlusion is a safe and effective treatment before cesarean section used in pernicious placenta previa complicated with placenta implantation,and worthy of further promotion.

Objective Network pharmacology and molecular docking and molecular dynamics techniques were used to investigate the mechanism of action of Alhagi sparsifolia Shap.in the treatment of sepsis and to perform animal experimental verification.Methods First,we screened the effective ingredients and their action targets of Alhagi sparsifolia Shap.,meanwhile,screened relevant action targets for the treatment of sepsis,constructed a protein interaction(PPI)network,and performed topology analysis to draw a TCM disease target network diagram.Second,Kyoto Encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analysis was performed for core targets in the network diagram,along with gene ontology functional enrichment analysis.This was followed by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation experiment validation of the core targets.Finally,mice were used for the verification of animal experiments.Results Thirty active components of Alhagi sparsifolia Shap.were screened out,and the top 5 ranked by degree value were quercetin,(-)-epigallocatechin,(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate,genistein,kaempferol and epigallocatechin with 196 action targets;2144 disease-related targets for sepsis,105 targets for Alhagi sparsifolia Shap.-sepsis intersection,and the core targets were TNF,IL-6,AKT1,VEGFA,CASP3,IL-1β Et al.PI3K-Akt,TNF,HIF-1,AGE-RAGE,IL-17 and other signaling pathways are involved to mediate inflammatory responses,apoptosis and other biological processes to exert therapeutic effects on sepsis.Molecular docking results showed that camelina flavanoids bound equally well to each key target,among which the conformations with the lowest binding energy were(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate-IL-6 and quercetin-IL-6.Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on the two pairs of complexes,and the results indicated that the stable binding could be achieved through a combination of electrostatic,van der Waals potential,and hydrogen bonding interactions.Animal experiments confirmed that Alhagi sparsifolia Shap.could inhibit the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,decrease the protein expression of Caspase-3,VEGF and reduced peripheral blood inflammatory factors secretion of TNF-α、IL-1βand IL-6,alleviating inflammatory injury in tissues and organs.Conclusion The therapeutic effect of Alhagi sparsifolia Shap.on sepsis is achieved through multi biological processes,multi targets,and multi pathways.It provides a certain theoretical basis for the clinical application of camel spines as well as sepsis treatment.
