OBJECTIVETo systematically evaluate the effectiveness of integrative medicine (IM) for preventing postoperative recurrence of primary hepatic carcinomas (PHC).

METHODSSuch databases as The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, Wan-fang Database were retrieved to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on preventing postoperative recurrence of PHC by IM. The retrieval period started from database establishment to June 2013. Literature screening, data extraction, and quality evaluation were performed by two reviewers strictly according to inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.2 Software.

RESULTSA total of 5 RCTs involving 367 patient cases were included. Results of Meta-analysis showed that the IM group was superior to the Western medicine (WM) group in the 1-, 2-, and 3-year recurrence rates (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIn the prevention of postoperative recurrence of PHC, the effectiveness of IM was more significant, when compared with treatment of Western medicine.

Objective To establish a method to determine six kinds of PAEs in human serum simultaneously,and on this basis to understand the level of PAEs in human body.Methods Ultrasonic extraction,gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring(GC-MS-SIM) detection and quantitative analysis based on internal standard were used to detect six kinds of PAEs in human serum simultaneously.Finally this method was used in fifty human serum samples.Results The results showed that this method had a good linear relation in the range from 10 to 1 000 ng/ml,and the correlation coefficients of standard curve were higher than 0.999.The average recovery rate and the relative standard deviation(RSD,n=6) of the target compounds in standard-addition blank was 94.5% and 4.4% respectively,the lower limits of detection for DEP,DMP,DBP,BBP,DEHP,DNOP were 0.31,0.85,0.90,0.63,0.88,0.41 ng/ml respectively,and the recovery rates of all samples ranged from 67.98% to 110.8%.Conclusion This method has good recovery rate,reproducibility,lower limit of detection and can be used for the determination of many kinds of PAEs substances in human serum.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of the clinical pathway in geriatric orthope-dics clinical teaching. Methods From March 2010 to December 2011, 80 clinical undergraduates, who practiced in the Department of Orthopedics in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medi-cal University, were equally randomized divided into two groups. One group was taught by the con-ventional methods and the other group was taught by the clinical pathway teaching. After the teaching, the theoretical exam and operational skill test were performed among students in both groups. SPSS 17.0 software was employed and the scores before and after the teaching and scores between two groups was analyzed by paired t-test(inspection level α=0.05). Results There was no significant difference in average scores between two groups before teaching(theoretical exam: P=0.81, operating skill test:P=0.65) while significant increases were observed in scores of theoretical exam and operational skill test after teaching (theoretical exam and operating skill test: P<0.05) and clinical pathway teaching group had higher scores than conventional teaching group (theoretical exam and operating skill test:P=0.02 and P=0.01). Conclusions Better effects can be achieved by clinical pathway approach re-garding geriatric orthopedics teaching.
