Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2005;3(1):39-41
Altogether 202 cases of cervical spondylosis were treated with traction first,followed by needling such points as Jiaji (Ex-B 2), Dazhui (GV 14), Fengfu (GV 16), Fengchi(GB 20), Baihui (GV 20), Yuzhen (BL 9), Houxi (SI 3) and Hegu (LI 4) with combination of point injection on Jiaji (Ex-B 2) points and TDP irradiation on the affected region. After three courses of treatment, the total effective rate reached 98.5%, among which those with types of cervical, nerve-root and vertebral artery took 1-2 courses, while those with types of spinal cord and sympathetic nerve took 2-3 courses.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and side-effect of docetaxel and cisplatin induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsEighty-six patients with histologically confirmed locally advanced NSCLC were randomized into induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (ICCRT)arm or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) arm. Both arms were treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Induction and concurrent chemotherapy regimen consist of docetaxel and cisplatin. Results Follow-up rate of the whole group is 100%.The response rate in the CCRT arm and ICCRT arm is 70% and 80% ( χ2 =1.26,P =0.261 ),respectively; and 1-,2-,3-year survival rate is 65% and 85%,40% and 50%,33% and 44% (χ2 =3.90,P=0.048),respectively; the median survival time and time to progression is 17.5 and 22.0 months and 14.0 and 19.0 months respectively.Major adverse effects are leukopenia (43 and 32 cases,χ2 =3.48,P =0.062),radiation esophagutis (26 and 20 cases,χ2 =0.12,P =0.730),anemia (26 and 16 cases,χ2 =2.34,P =0.126) and radiation pneumonitis (13 and 9 cases,χ2 =0.37,P =0.541 ).ConclusionsICCRT for locally advanced NSCLC can improve the overall survival rate and time to progression,induction chemotherapy did not increase side-effects.There was no difference in response rate between CCRT and ICCRT arm.

Objective To investigate the correlation among expression of serum VEGF without operation between pre-and post-chemoradiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, to explore the correlation of markers on prognosis and effect. Methods The serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected in 50 patients without operation between pre-and post-chemoradiotherapy with NSCLC by ELISA method. The group t-test was played into before concurrent chemoradiotherapy and normal control. The paired t-test was played into before and after concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Results The prechemoradiotherapy serum VEGF ( 241.09 ± 52.45 ) ng/L in NSCLC patients was significantly higher than those in normal control patients (103.72 ± 39. 22) ng/L (t = 2. 50,P <0. 05 ). The pre-chemoradiotherapy serum VEGF in NSCLC patients was closely related to pTNM stage, distant metastasis, grade of cell differentiation and the size of the primary tumors ( t = 9. 61 - 14. 94, all P < 0. 05 ), but not to the histological classification, type of the tumor, lymph node status, age, gender of the patients or smoking or not (t =0. 58 - 1.84, all P > 0. 05 ). The pre-chemoradiotherapy serum VEGF ( 24 1.09 ± 52. 45 ) ng/L was significantly higher than that of the post-chemoradiotherapy ( 133.64 ± 33.62) ng/L ( t = 12. 20, P < 0. 01 ). The post-chemoradiotherapy serum VEGF decreases to the pre-was the biggest in the CR patients (( 92.35 ± 37.48ng/L) ,t =3.79,P <0. 01 ) ,the smallest in the PA patients ( (276.32 ±47.98) ng/L,t = 1.32,P >0. 05) ) ,and bigger in the PR patients and the NC patientspatients ( ( 113.10 ± 39. 20) ng/L,t = 13.58,P <0. 01 and ( 198.10 ± 42.68 ) ng/L, t = 4. 78, P < 0. 05 ) ), respectively. Conclusions Elevation of serum VEGF exists in patients with NSCLC . The serum VEGF in patients with NSCLC might be helpful to evaluate the biological behavior of lung cancer. Detection of VEGF expression maybe helpful for predicting the prognosis of NSCLC patients.

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the impact of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on fertility-sparing treatment in young patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) or endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC).
Methods:
A total of 285 patients with EEC (n=76, FIGO stage IA, without myometrium invasion) or AEH (n=209) who received progestin-based fertility-sparing treatment were evaluated retrospectively. Among the 285 patients, 103 (36.1%), including 70 AEH cases and 33 EEC cases, were diagnosed with PCOS. General characteristics, cumulative 16- and 32-week complete response (CR) rate, pregnancy outcome and recurrence were compared between patients with or without PCOS.
Results:
The cumulative 16-week CR rate was lower in the PCOS group than in the non-PCOS group (18.4% vs. 33.8%, p=0.006). Patients with PCOS took longer treatment duration to achieve CR (7.0 months vs. 5.4 months, p=0.006) and shorter time to relapse after CR (9.6 months vs. 17.6 months, p=0.040) compared with non-PCOS group. After adjusting for patient age, body mass index, PCOS, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index, and serum testosterone levels, we found that body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 (HR=0.583; 95% CI=0.365–0.932; p=0.024) and PCOS (HR=0.545; 95% CI=0.324–0.917; p=0.022) were significantly correlated with lower 16-week CR rate.
Conclusion
PCOS was associated with lower 16-week CR rate, longer treatment duration and shorter recurrence interval in patients with AEH or EEC receiving fertility-preserving treatment.

Objective To explore the relationship between the typing of MSCT and prognosis in infant with interstitial pneumonia (IP).Methods MSCT features of 44 infants with IP were analyzed retrospectively and classified according to the pathological pro-gress.The relationship between the MSCT typing and clinical prognosis was statistically analyzed.Results The result of the MSCT typing was as follows:the exudation in 22 cases,the proliferation in 18 cases and the ruin in 4 cases.There was significant difference for the clinical prognosis among the different MSCT groups (P<0.01 ).And there was a significant correlation between the MSCT typing and clinical prognosis (r=0.784,P<0.01).The prognosis of the exudation type was better than the proliferation type,and both of them were better than the ruin type.Conclusion Based on the MSCT features,MSCT typing reveals the inflammatory patho-logical process of the infant IP,which plays an important role in treatment options decision and prognosis prediction.
