China Oncology 2013;(12):1007-1013
The liver is one of the most common metastatic sites in patients with breast cancer. Systemic therapy is the standard treatment for breast cancer with liver metastasis, but the results are far from satisfaction. A distinctive subset of metastatic breast cancer is oligometastatic disease. Local therapy including metastasectomy, radiofrequency ablation and radiation therapy combined with systemic therapy can provide survival beneift. This review introduced the latest research results of local therapy in liver oligometastases of breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the advantage and clinical value of javanica oil emulsion injection combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma. Method Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning javanica oil emulsion injection combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma were made on electronic databases of CBM, CNKI, Wangfang, VIP and PubMed from 1990 to February 28, 2015. Quality of the included RCTs was assessed by Jadad scoring , and Meta-analyses were performed by RevMan5.3 software. Results Seven RCTs involving 575 patients were included in Meta-analysis. All studies were in low quality. The results of Meta-analyses showed that Javanica oil emulsion injection combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma, compared with control groups, could increase the recent curative effect (P < 0.000 01) and improve the quality of live (P = 0.000 8), decrease the hematologic toxicities (P = 0.03) and the incidence rate of radioaction esophagitis (P = 0.02), but not enough evidence was found to prove that it can enhance survival rate (P = 0.25). Conclusions The results of Meta-analysis indicate that javanica oil emulsion injection may have therapeutic effects on the treatment of esophageal carcinoma. Yet the effects of javanica oil emulsion injection still need to be confirmed by large multi-center randomized controlled trials.

Objective To determine the sensitivity and specificity of using the computer-photoscreener and non-cycloplegic retinoscopy in the detection of amblyopiogenic factors in nine to fifty months old infants.Methods Three hundred children whose ages range from nine to fifty months were screened with the computer-photoscreener and non-cycloplegic retinoscopy. With a masked standardized clinical assessment as the standard, an overall comparison of the results obtained with the two techniques revealed a sensitivity and specificity. Photoscreen images on the computer monitor screen were reviewed and analyzed immediately by two independent observers for indicators of amblyopiogenic risk factors. Simultaneously, the results were compared to the findings of a full ophthalmologic examination.Results The computer-photoscreener revealed a sensitivity of 94.2% and specificity of 90.1%, and the non-cycloplegic retinocopy revealed a sensitivity of 85.7% and specificity of 81.1% for the detection of amblyopiogenic risk factors, including hyperopia (+2.75 D or more), myopia (-1.50 D or more), astigmatism (2.00 D or more),anisometropia (2.00 D or more), ocular misalignment (5 degrees or more), and media opacity (1.5mm or more). Conclusion The computer-photoscreener offers an opportunity to identify problems that limit vision, and could provide a feasible and sufficiently reliable screening technique in infants and preschool children who can be screened successfully for amblyopiogenic risk factors.
