6.A preliminary study on the correlation between dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and blood stasis syndrome in breast cancer
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(15):2308-2310
Objective To observe the correlation of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) appearances and blood stasis syndrome in breast cancer.Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with breast cancer confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively reviewed.70 cases without blood stasis syndrome,30 cases with blood stasis syndrome.All the cases underwent MRI using PHILIPS Achieva 1.5T magnetic resonance scanner before surgery.Results In no blood stasis group,76.67% inhomogeneous enhancement,edge enhancement 43.33%,spiculation proportion 50.00%,which were significantly lower than those in the blood stasis group (88.57%,75.71%,83.33%).The mass ratio of the shape between the two groups had no significant difference (P > 0.05).No blood stasis group and stagnation of blood group TIC curve was mainly type Ⅳ,type Ⅲ curve ratio of no blood stasis group (3.33%) was significantly lower than blood stasis group(12.86%) (P <0.01).In blood stasis group,Emax/1 and tumor size were higher than without blood stasis syndrome group.the percentage of V per minute outflow of blood stasis group was lower than without blood stasis syndrome group.Conclusion The clinician should make a preliminary evaluation of the prognosis before operation,in order to timely and reasonably choose the method of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
7.Effects of heroin use on serum levels of homocysteine
The Journal of Practical Medicine 2015;(9):1519-1521
Objective To determine whether concentrations of plasma homocysteine and status of folate and vitamin B12 were altered in patients with heroin dependence compared with control subjects. Methods We recruited 20 patients with heroin addiction. Twenty age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers as the control group were enrolled. Blood concentrations of homocysteine, folate and vitamin B12 were measured in a fasted status. Results Mean homocysteine level was higher in the heroindependence group than in the control group [18.3 ± 4.5 (Q1 = 14.7, Q2 = 17.6, Q3 = 19.2) vs. 8.4 ± 2.7 (Q1 = 5.9, Q2 = 8.5, Q3 = 10.5) μmol/L, P < 0.001]. Patients in heroinaddictiongroup had signi cantly lower folate levels compared with the control group [6.6 ± 2.6 (Q1=4.6, Q2=6.4, Q3=8.1) vs. 12.7 ± 2.5 (Q1 = 11.1, Q2 = 13.0, Q3 = 17.5) ng/mL, P < 0.001]. There was significant difference on plasma B12 concentrations between heroin users and controls [384.1 ± 228.8 (Q1=312.0, Q2=348.5, Q3=374.5) vs. 399.4 ± 45.1 (Q1=358.0, Q2=394.5, Q3=428.3) Pg/mL, P < 0.001]. Heroin users group demonstrated a negative correlation of homocysteine with folate , which was statistically significant in heroin users groups (r = - 0.614; P = 0.004), there was a trend towards a negative correlation of homocysteine with B12 in heroin users (r = -0.605; P = 0.005), respectively. Conclusions We conclude that patients with heroin dependence are prone to high concentration of plasma homocysteine.
8.Concurrent chemoradiation for non-small cell lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(10):755-758
The standard non-surgery approach for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Common chemotherapy regimens include EP,NP,DC and PC.New chemotherapy drugs combination and targeted therapy are still under study.The tolerances of elderly patients are declining for concurrent chemoradiotherapy,but it is not the absolute contraindication.The tolerance for hyperfraction and high dose radiotherapy is well,however,the effectiveness and long-term toxicity need to be further studied and evaluated.
9.Outline of Ulcerative Colitis Treated by Acupuncture: A Review
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2003;1(2):11-13
To analyze 73 theses that all accorded with statistical demand about ulcerative colonitis. The statistics found that the commonly used therapies were acupuncture, moxibustion, acupuncture-moxibustion, herbpartitioned moxibustion, acupoint-injection, point-radiation therapy, auricular-plaster therapy, catgut implantation at acupoint, point application etc. The commonlyused points were Zusanii ( ST 36), Tianshu ( ST 25),Pishu (BL 20), Weishu (BL 21), Zhongwan (CV 12),Dachangshu ( BL 25) etc. The total effective rate in clinic was 95.40%.
10.Treatment of Protrusion of Cervical Intervertebral Disc with Tuina Therapy plus Acupuncture
