Objective To explore the incidence and factors of paranasal sinusitis among nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients after radiotherapy. Methods Retrospectively evaluated the clinical data of 144 NPC patients without paranasal sinusitis before radiotherapy, including 82 cases in T1/T2 stage and 62 cases in T3/T4 stage treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from 2000 to 2005. MRI images before and after radiotherapy were compared. The incidence and factors of paranasal sinusitis were analyzed. There were 58 cases of nasal invasion. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma was given at face-neck joint portal with 6 MV X-ray fractionated irradiation 68-78 Gy during 6-8 weeks. The number of patients who received radiotherapy with less than or equal to 70 Gy, more than 70 Gy radiation doses were 89 and 55, respectively. Cervical part were treated with high-energy electron beam, patients with positive neck lymph nodes and with negative neck lymph nodes received 64-74 Gy doses during 6-8 weeks and 50-54 Gy during 4-5 weeks, respectively. Results Among the 144 NPC patients 86.8%(125/144) developed paranasal sinusitis after radiotherapy, the incidence rates of paranasal sinusitis (IRPS) was higher among stage T3 + T4 patients than that among stage T1 + T2 patients (94% vs 82% ,x2=4.32, P <0.05). Among patients who were given radiotherapy with more than 70 Gy,less than or equal to 70 Gy radiation doses on the nasopharynx, the IRPS were 95% and 82.0% (x2 = 4.65, P < 0.05 ). The IRPS in patients with nasal cavity infringement was higher than that in others (95% vs. 81% , x2 = 5.46,P <0.05). The IRPS at 3, 6, 12 months, and more than 1 year after radiotherapy were 13.6% ,31.2% ,48.8% and 6.4%, respectively (x2 = 70.48, P < 0.001 ). Conclusions The incidence of paranasal sinusitis in NPC patients after radiotherapy was very high, and reached a peak in one year. It was influeneed by invasion of nasal cavity or not, the dose of radiotherapy and T stage.

Objective To evaluate liver surgery (liver resection,liver transplantation,liver trauma) in patients with perioperative application of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) efficacy and safety.Methods We searched China biomedical literature database (CBM) and relevant randomized controlled Wanfang medicine,PubMed,Cochrane Library and Embase database to January 2018,application of rhGH for patients with liver surgery in rhGH,with placebo or blank control.According to certain criteria,the literatures were excluded and analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software.Results Total of 13 articles and 525 patients were included.The results showed that rhGH can improve the serum albumin (Alb),prealbumin (PA),transferrin (TF) synthesis [WMD =2.42,95%CI (0.45,4.40),P<0.05;WMD =28.44,95%CI (17.70,39.17),P<0.05;WMD=0.52,95%CI (0.44,0.61),P<0.05];high level of CD4/CD8 [WMD =0.40,95%CI (0.22,0.58),P<0.05];reduce the infection rate [RR=0.49,95%CI (0.31,0.77),P<0.05];shorten the hospitalization time [WMD=-3.19,95%CI (-5.77,-0.61),P<0.05];and will not increase the acute rejection and tumor recurrence rate,but need more exogenous insulin to control blood glucose.Conclusion Patients with perioperative application of rhGH can improve the nutrition status and immune function,reduce the rate of infection,promote the rehabilitation of patients,shorten the hospitalization time,and will not increase the acute rejection and tumor recurrence rate.

OBJECTIVE: To rapidly identify chemical components of Zhitong huazheng capsules (shorted for “ZTHZC”), and to provide reference for further elucidating the pharmacodynamic material basis and overall quality control. METHODS: UPLC-Q-TOF/MS method was adopted to separate the chemical components of ZTHZC. By reviewing literatures that related to chemical components of ZTHZC and its single Chinese traditional medicinal crops, the chemical structure of the chemical components was saved into a .mol format file, and supplemented the UNIFI database. The chemical constituents of ZTHZC were qualitatively analyzed by UNIFI database screening, and validated according to their precise molecular mass, characteristic ions, neutral loss, secondary mass spectrometry cleavage, chromatographic retention behavior, combined reference information and literature reports. RESULTS: A total of 70 chemical components were identified in this experiment, including 38 organic acids and organic acid esters, 8 alkaloids, 9 flavonoids, 5 triterpenoid saponins, 5 aldehydes, 2 ketones, 1 quinone, 1 polyacetylene and 1 monoterpenoid. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a rapid detection and identification method for chemical components of ZTHZC, and also provides a scientific basis for the clarification of ZTHZC’s quality control and pharmacodynamics.
