Background and Purpose:In recent years,along with marked rise in the incidence of lung cancer,the incidence of brain metastasis from lung cancer has increased year by year.The main treatment strategy of lung cancer with brain metastasis is irradiation,while so far there are only few researches concerning chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for these patients.The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect,survival rate and toxicity of chemotherapy with VM_(26)+DDP regimen given concurrently with whole-brain radiotherapy in lung cancer with brain metastasis.Methods:From Sep.2000 to Oct.2001,forty-one patients with lung cancer with brain metastasis were divided randomly into two groups: 20 patients(14 male,6 female) received concurrent chemoradiotherapy(chemoradiotherapy group),the other 21 patients(14 male,7 female) received only radiotherapy(radiotherapy group).In the chemoradiotherapy group,the average age was 50 years with range 40 to 70 years,16 patients were non-small-cell lung cancer,4 patients were small-cell lung cancer.In the radiotherapy group,the average age was 52 years with range 40 to 73 years and 19 patients were non-small-cell lung cancer,2 patients were small-cell lung cancer.For both groups,the same radiation technique was given with conventional fraction.Radiotherapy was delivered by 6MV.Fractionations of 3Gy/fraction/day was delivered 10Gy/5 factions/week.The total dose was 30Gy/10Fr/2W.For chemoradiotherapy group,the patients were also given concurrent chemotherapy(VM_(26) 60mg/m~(2)/ day iv on days 1-3,cisplatin 60 mg/m~(2) iv on the 1~(st)day).Results:The response rate and complete response in the chemoradiotherapy group was significantly higher than that in the radiotherapy group(75% ?? 38.10%,P

0.05).Conclusions:Concurrent chemoradiotherapy can be well tolerated even though the acute side-effects less than grade 2 were higher in concurrent chemoradiotherapy than other group.Immediate response was very encouraging in the concurrent group.There was no advantage in terms of survival rate in the concurrent group compared to the sequential group.

Object To determine and compare the content of polysaccharides in three species of Semen Plantaginis from different places of origin. Methods Spectrophotometry was used. Results The content of polysaccharides in the seed of Plantago major L. was higher than those in the seed of P. asiatica L. and P. depressa Willd. Conclusion The content of polysaccharides in Semen Plantaginis of different species or origins are obviously different.

Objective:To determine the antioxidization and antiproliferation of extract from leaves of Toona sinensis (LTS).Methods:The total phenolic extract of LTS was obtained by solvent and polyamide resin to determine the content.The antioxidization of the LTS extract was measured by TOSC assay.Antiproliferation was studied in vitro with different human cancer cells.Results:The total phenolic content in the LTS was (427.53±4.31) mg/g and antioxidization was 807.64 μmoL vitamin C equivalents/g in the sample.The extract significantly inhibited the colon cancer cell Caco-2,human liver cancer cell HepG2 and breast cancer cell MCF-7 proliferation with EC50 (4.00±0.39),(153.16±13.49) and (193.46±14.68) μg/mL,respectively.The bioactivity index (BI) of the LTS extract was nearly 283.Caco-2 was more sensitive than MCF-7 and HepG2.Conclusion:Extract from LTS has anticancer properties useful for preventing chronic diseases.

Objective To discuss and to compare the curative effects of interventional embolization with different embolic agents in treating giant hepatic cavernous hemangiomas. Methods From 2008 to 2010, a total of 30 cases with clinically proved hepatic cavernous hemangioma were treated with interventional embolization. According to the embolic agents used , the patients were divided into pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion mixed with sodium alginate microspheres group(PLE+KMG, group A, n=15) and pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion group (PLE, group B, n=15). CT scanning was performed one, 3, 6, 12 months after the treatment to evaluate the curative effect. Results The technical success rate was 100%in both groups. The mean PLE dose used in group A and B was (10.9 ± 5.2) ml and (11.4 ± 4.9) ml respectively, the difference between the two groups was not significant (P > 0.05). CT reexamination performed one, 3, 6 months after the treatment showed that a reduction in tumor volume over 50%in group A was seen in 9, 11 and 14 cases respectively, while in group B it was 0, 3 and 5 cases respectively (P <0.05). One week after the procedure, the degree of pain in patients of group A was more severe than that in patients of group B, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Slight abnormal hepatic function was seen in some patients of both groups, which presented mainly as an elevation of aminotransferase, which returned to normal after symptomatic medication. Follow-up with questionnaire indicted that patients of group A were more satisfied with the treatment than the patients of group B. Conclusion Transhepatic infusion of pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion is a safe and effective treatment for giant cavernous hemangioma of the liver. Combination use of pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion and sodium alginate microspheres can obviously reduce the tumor size mainly in the first and the third month after the treatment, besides it produces instant clinical effect although the pain is more severe than in patients treated with pure pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to analyze the prognosis of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in the treatment of spontaneous rupture of HCC.Methods:From January 2008 to December 2018, at Tianjin Third Central Hospital, 126 patients diagnosed with spontaneous rupture of HCC (spontaneous rupture group) and in the same period 252 patients diagnosed as HCC without rupture (non-spontaneous rupture group) were retrospectively selected. Independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used to compare the general data, laboratory test results and imaging results between spontaneous rupture group and non-spontaneous rupture group. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of spontaneous rupture of HCC. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for survival analysis of 92 patients treated with TAE and 31 patients treated with conservative treatment in patients with spontaneous rupture of HCC, and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression was used to analyze the independent prognostic factors of patients treated with TAE. Results:The proportions of tumor maximum diameter ≥5 cm, tumors mainly located in segment Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅵ of the liver, tumors protruding height from the surface of liver ≥1 cm, liver cirrhosis and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in spontaneous rupture group were all higher than those in non-spontaneous rupture group (46.8%, 59/126 vs. 35.7%, 90/252; 61.1%, 77/126 vs. 46.0%, 116/252; 73.0%, 92/126 vs. 18.7%, 47/252; 81.7%, 103/126 vs. 69.0%, 174/252; 20.6%, 26/126 vs. 11.5%, 29/252), and the level of fibrinogen is lower than that in non-spontaneous rupture group ((3.07 ±1.38) g/L vs. (3.92±1.13) g/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.343, 7.644, 106.780, 6.918 and 5.628, t=-3.276, all P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the location of tumors in segment Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅵ of the liver, the height of tumors protruding from the surface of liver ≥1 cm, liver cirrhosis and the fibrinogen was lower than the lower limit of the reference value were independent risk factors of spontaneous rupture of HCC (odds ratio ( OR)=1.354, 5.726, 1.152, 1.892; 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.062 to 2.008, 1.049 to 19.575, 1.016 to 1.895, 1.267 to 3.346; all P<0.05). Among 92 patients with spontaneous rupture of HCC treated with TAE, the TAE technical success rate and clinical success rate were 100.0% (92/92) and 93.5% (86/92), respectively. Thirty-one patients received conservative treatment. The median survival time of the patients treated with TAE was 243 d (38 d, 377 d), which was about 10 times that of the patients who accepted conservative treatment (23 d (9 d, 51 d)). The 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 1-year and 3-year survival rates of the patients treated with TAE were 72.8%, 50.8%, 46.0%, 31.1% and 13.6%, respectively, and those of patients who accepted conservative treatment were 25.8%, 17.2%, 11.5%, 5.7% and 0, respectively; and the differences in survival rates between the two groups were statistically significant ( χ2=34.606, P<0.01). Log-rank test analysis showed that initial hemoglobin <60 g/L, C grade of liver function, total bilirubin (TBil)≥50 μmol/L, complicated with portal vein tumor thrombus, hepatic lobe embolism during TAE, and tumor maximum diameter ≥10 cm were all correlated with poor survival rates of patients with spontaneous rupture of HCC after TAE ( χ2=3.752, 4.146, 22.318, 4.087, 5.685 and 7.893, all P<0.05). The results of multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis showed that TBil ≥ 50 μmol/L, hepatic lobe embolism during TAE, and tumor maximum diameter ≥10 cm were independent factors of poor prognosis of spontaneous rupture of HCC treated with TAE ( OR=25.873, 8.415, 18.620; 95% CI 4.916 to 126.005, 1.136 to 27.319, 2.754 to 84.368; all P<0.05). Conclusions:In HCC patients with tumors located in segments Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅵ of the liver, the height of tumors protruding from the surface of liver ≥1 cm, liver cirrhosis or the fibrinogen is lower than the lower limit of the reference value, close attention should be paid to the risk of spontaneous tumor rupture. TAE is an effective treatment for acute spontaneous rupture of HCC, and the prognosis of patients treated with TAE is better than that of patients receiving conservative treatment. However, patients with TBil ≥50 μmol/L, hepatic lobe embolism during TAE and tumor maximum diameter ≥10 cm have a poor prognosis after TAE treatment.
