Chemotherapy plays an important role in advanced colorectal cancer. Patients may show various clinical response to selection different drugs. The importance of individual therapy based on pharmacogenomics has been emphasized in cancer therapy. To explore the individual therapy of colorectal cancer, the progress of molecular markers which influence the efficacy of anti-tumor drugs containing fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, CPT-11, monoclonal antibody drugs is reviewed in this article.

Forty-four guinea-pigs were sensitized by intramuscular inoculation with the same amount (0.8ml) of 5% egg albumin in water. 3 weeks after sensitization, the animals were rondomly divided into 1 groups (group J as control; group II given small dose of piperitone 0.08ml/ 100g body weight; group J given large dose of piperitone 0.12ml/100g body weight; group IX given promethazine 2.5mg 100g body weight) and subjected to anaphylactic insult by intra-cardiac injection of 1ml of 5% egg albumin in water under the protection of different dosege of piperitone, a terpene from cymbopogon distans. given intramuscularly. Results of the experiment indicates that piperitone had significant dose-effect relation protective effect against the anaphylactic insult on the guinea-pigs and suggests that piperitone might be used clinically for the treatment of asthma

Objective: To establish a HS CGC method for the analysis of residual petroleum ether (60～90?C) in Kanglaite Capsules.Methods: Headspace sampling, a fused silica analytical column with cross linked 95% dimethyl and 5% diphenyl siloxanes station phase (30m?320?m?0.25?m), column temperature at 40?C, a linear velocity of about 19 cm per second, FID detector.Results: The average recovery is 97.2% (RSD=2.87%, n=5). The minimal detection limit is 2.65?10 -8 g?mL -1 (signal/noise=1.3).Conclusion: The method is simple and accurate, and can be used as a control method for the residual organic solvent in the capsules.

Recent developments on separation and analysis of bacterial cells by capillary electrophoresis are reviewed. Based on bacterial surface characterization, capillary electrophoresis technique can be utilized for rapidly identify and quantify intact bacteria and microbes at a certain phase. The microbe-molecule interactions can also be described. The separation of microbes that can not be cultured in lab appears to be possible by this method. It makes profound effects on separation science and microbiology to establish capillary electrophoresis procedure for the separation and analysis of bacterial cells.

Thalassemia is inherited hemolytic anemia caused by globin production disorder,clinically known as beta thalassemia and alpha thalassemia resulted from beta and alpha chain synthesis disorder.Significant anemic clinical manifestations are observed in intermediate -level and severe -level patients with the 2 types of anemia, affecting greatly the growth and life quality of children patients who need blood transfusion to stay alive.The incidence rate of thalassemia is as high as 7% -20% in South China,so the prevention and standaridized treatment of thalasse-mia and the management over target population draw more attention.This paper is a review on the latest development of blood transfusion,chelation therapy,health education,birth intervention for thalassemia.

Objective To analyze the effect of Kangfuxin Liquidon on gingiva groove liquid interleukin 1β(IL-1β), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), soluble adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM)in fixed orthodontic patients with gingivitis. Methods 96 cases of patients with fixed orthodontic gingivitis consult the draw method were divided into control group and experimental group, 48 cases in each group. The control group were treatedby gums clean, experimental group based on the control group were treattedby Kangfuxin Liquidon. The IL-1β, PGE2, sICAM-1 levels, periodontal status, the grade of swelling and pain, the clinical curative effect were compared between two groups. Results After treatment, the IL-1β, PGE2, sICAM levels of experimental group were lower than the control group (10.54±1.41) ng/L vs.(11.85±1.71)ng/L, (284.62±35.21) ng/L vs.(314.65±39.48)ng/L, (150.49±18.11) μg/L vs.(162.83±20.26) μg/L,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The periodontal status, swelling and pain grading ofexperimental group were better than control group (P<0.05). Theeffective rate of experimental group was higher than the control group (95.83%vs.79.17%) (P<0.05). Conclusion Kangfuxin Liquidon can reduce fixed orthodontic patients with gingivitis gingiva groove IL-1β, PGE2, sICAM-1 levels, improve the periodontal status, relieve swelling and pain, improve the clinical curative effect.

Objective To sum up the clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of recurrent retroperitoneal malignant fibrous histiocytoma (RMFH). Methods[WT5”BZ] Clinical data of 29 recurrent RMFH from 1990 to 2002 were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsTwelve (41.4%) cases underwent total tumor resection after the first recurrence. Seven cases underwent multiple viscera resection,of which two did after the first recurrence,three after second and the other two after third recurrence. Twenty-five patients were followed up for 6 months to 8 years,The 1,3 and 5 year survival rate was 73.2%,46.7% and 19.8% respectively. [WT5”HZ]ConclusionTotal tumor resection is an effective way to treat RMFH,and multiple viscera combined resection increases the success rate of total tumor resection.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects and costs between metformin and acarbose when combined with insulin in treating type2diabetes mellitus.METHODS:Cost-minimization analysis in medical economy was applied to analyze the therapeutic effects,costs and cost related factors with the respect for the patients.RESULTS:There was no statistically sig?nificant difference in effects of the2therapeutic regimens.Total cost and drug cost per head in metformin group were1941.46yuan and138.86yuan respectively as compared with2308.37yuan and229.82yuan respectively in acarbose group.The analysis on cost related factors showed no statistical significance.CONCLUSION:Metformin combined with insulin is a preferable therapeutic regimen.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of different treatment methods for the patients with great saphenous vein varicosity.Methods 140 patients with great saphenous varicose veins were selected,and according to random number table method they were divided into observation group and control group,70 cases in each group.The control group was given conventional stripped surgery,the observation group adopted high ligation joint int-racavitary laser treatment.The clinical effects of the two groups were compared.Results The operating time,intraop-erative blood loss,postoperative length of hospital stay,postoperative recurrence rate of the observation group were (51.32 ±4.97)min,(40.03 ±9.67)mL,(6.77 ±1.14)days,4.29%,respectively,which of the control group were (72.45 ±8.79)min,(108.68 ±17.75)mL,(11.69 ±2.68)days,20.00%,there were statistically significant differ-ences between the two groups(t =17.507,28.415,14.134,χ2 =8.101,all P <0.05).The incidence rate of postop-erative complications of the observation group was 4.29%,which of the control group was 14.29%,there was statisti-cally significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =4.155,P <0.05).The intervention pain score,the quality of life score of the observation group were (1.46 ±0.54)points,(90.04 ±9.77)points,which of the control group were (2.67 ±1.15)points,(78.61 ±6.82)points,there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (t =7.968,8.026,all P <0.05).Conclusion High ligation joint intracavitary laser in the treatment of great saphe-nous varicose veins is superior to the traditional operation method in operation time,intraoperative hemorrhage,length of hospital stay,and complications,and it can effectively relieve patients'pain and improve the quality of life.
