OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD) of patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) before and after Kanli Decoction treatment. METHODS: Thirty-five CHF patients were treated with Kanli Decoction. We used color Doppler ultrasound to monitor the flow-mediated dilation (FMD), pulsatile index (PI), resistance index (RI), baseline blood flow (BF), ejection fraction (EF) before and after the treatment. RESULTS: FMD after treatment (9.26+/-3.19) were obviously higher than that before the treatment (7.06+/-2.58) (P<0.05), but BF, PI and RI were not improved. CONCLUSION: Applying color Doppler ultrasound into observation on EDD of patients suffering from CHF and treated by the Kanli Decoction shows that the CHF could be treated by traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on salivary gland function in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. Methods:In total, 101 NPC patients who were admitted from March 2010 to November 2012 were enrolled in this study. The parotid gland, the submandibular gland, and the oral cavity were sketched as the organs at risk (OARs). The patients were treated with IMRT and were evaluated through a face-to-face interview using a dry mouth assessment ques-tionnaire during the follow-up visits at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. The dose volume histogram of the salivary gland of the patients was also considered. Results:The mean doses (MDs) in the parotid gland were 37.4 and 33.8 Gy in the affected and uninjured sides, respec-tively. Meanwhile, the MDs in the submandibular glands were 51.6 and 45.7 Gy in the affected and uninjured sides, respectively. The MD of the oral cavity was 38.2 Gy. At 6 months after the treatment, the symptom of xerostomia was significantly improved in 77.2%of the patients (78/101). One year later, only less than 5%of the patients complained of having G3 or higher-grade xerostomia. Conclu-sion:With time, xerostomia significantly improved after the radiotherapy. At least one of the V30 to V35 of the parotid gland was≤50.0%, whereas at least one of the V40 to V45 of the submandibular glands was≤66.7%~50.0%. The MD for the oral cavity should be<40 Gy to effectively protect salivary gland function.

Background and purpose:It has a signiifcant effect for erlotinib on treatment of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor mutation in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). But almost all patients will eventually progress for the resistance of drug. This study was to evaluate the efifcacy and safety of retreatment of erlotinib in patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods:It was a retrospective analysis of the 46 advanced NSCLC patients who previously treated with erlotinib and had clinical beneift. The patients were given erlotinib 150 mg orally once daily after failure to other medications until disease progression or the occurrence of intolerable toxicity. The clinical features, therapeutic effect and survival were analyzed. Results: The objective response rate of retreatment with erlotinib was 28.3%. The disease control rate was 60.9%. The rate of symptom relief was 45.7%. The median progression-free survival was 3.6 months. The median overall survival was 7.3 months. One-year survival rate was 8.7%. The median progression-free survival was signiifcant longer in the patients who stopped taking erlotinib more than 6 months than those less than 6 months (P=0.002). The median overall survival was signiifcant longer in the patients whose ECOG ≤2 than those ECOG >2 (P=0.038). The most common drug-related adverse events were rash and diarrhea. Conclusion:The retreatment of erlotinib could possibly prolong the survival time of patients who previously treated with erlotinib and had clinical beneift.
