The number of puncture point was 1～2.The number of puncture direction was 2-5 times.Results Regarding 32 cases for 1 month,the size of the tumor reduced in 11 cases,no change in 20 cases,and increased in 1 case.As for 31 cases for 2 months,the size reduced in 16 cases,no change in 13 cases,and enlarged in 3 cases.Regarding 30 cases for 3 months,the size reduced in 18 cases,no change in 11 cases,and increased in 3 cases. Regarding 28 cases for 6 months, he size reduced in 10 cases, no change in 5 cases, and in- creased in 13 cases.Regarding 22 cases for 1 year,12 cases had been done the second therapy,the size of the tumor reduced in 16 cases,no change in 3 cases,and increased in 3 cases.Conclusion The size of pancreas tumors were reduced obviously,the symptoms were relieved after the treatment.The method turned out to be safe and accurate.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy of bevacizumab in combination of irinotecan,fluorouracil and leucovorin for metastatic colorectal cancer treated by failed prior oxaliplatin -based regiment.

METHODSSixty-two patients were randomly divided into two groups, group A of 30 patients received bevacizumab plus irinotecan, fluorouracil and leucovorin, group B of 32 patients received irinotecan, fluorouracil and leucovorin. The response rate,change of tumor markers,one year survival rate and safety were observed.

RESULTSTumor response rate was 30% in group A, 21.8% in group B respectively. Disease control rate(CR+PR+SD) was 80% in group A, 50% in group B. The obvious change of concentration of tumor markers was observed between pre-treatment and post-treatment, which was significantly different in group A(P<0.05). One year survival rate, median of time to progression and median duration of survival between group A and group B were 26.7% vs 18.8%, 5.9 months vs 3.9 months, 10.9 months vs 8.9 months(P<0.05). The adverse effect in group A was the same as group B. Bevacizumab was associated with hypertension and bradycardia.

CONCLUSIONSThe chemotherapy of bevacizumab combined with irinotecan, fluorouracil and leucovorin results in better efficacy in patients with progressive metastatic colorectal cancer.

In our study, 198 types of pesticides in 120 types 333 lots of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which were reasonably classified according to its matrix property, were determined by using the pretreatment platform and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method. As a result, 158 were contaminated with pesticides. However, the content of pesticides in most TCM was very low. In addition, types of pesticides were different in different part of materia medica. In conclusion, the current status of pesticide residues pollutants in TCM was summarized, and the result can provide proof for the formulation of maximum residue limit. The new species of herbs and the new detecting index should be electively monitored in Chinese Pharmacopeia.

Objective To investigate the causes of pancreatic injury after autologous liver transplantation in rats. Methods Forty-two SD rats were randomly divided into post autologons liver transplantation 1-hour group, 6-hour group, 12-hour group, 24-hour group, 48-hour group, 72-hour group and sham group (6 rats per group). The plasma concentrations of amylase and lipase were measured to assess pancreatic exocrine function. The histomorphological changes of pancreatic tissue were studied under optical and electron microscopes. All data were analyzed via one-way ANOVA. Results The plasma concentrations of amylase and lipnse in post autologous liver transplantation 1-hour group were significantly higher than those in sham group, and they gradually increased as time passed by. The plasma concentrations of amylase and lipase reached peak at hour 48, after which they decreased gradually. There was a significant difference in the plasma concentration of amylase and lipase among the 7 groups (F = 538.622,489.417, P < 0.05). Acute edematous pancreatitis was observed 1 hour after autolognus liver transplantation, and acute hemorrhagic necrotic pancreatitis was observed 6 hours after transplantation. The degree of injury reached a peak 48 hours after transplantation. The number of mitochondria was increased, and endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus were swollen 1 hour after transplantation, and the area, perimeter, specific surface area and mean gray value of mitochondria were (312±40) mm~2, (80.3±3.8)mm, 0.332±0.039 and 113±11, respectively. As time passed by, the injury of the pancreatic cells was aggravated and autophagosomes were observed. The injury was most severe 48 hours after transplantation, and the area, perimeter, specific surface area and mean gray value of mitochondria were (466±7) mm~2, (108.8±3.7) mm, 0.298±0.009 and 195±12, respectively. There were significant differences in the specific surface area and mean gray value among all the groups (F = 9.322, 76.560, P < 0.05). Conclusion The pancreatic injury after autologous liver transplantation is related to the energy metabolism of the pancreatic cells induced by hypoxia.
