International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;38(6):523-526
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of XELOX chemotherapy combined with Chinese herbal medicines in patients with obstructive colorectal cancer.MethodsA total of 70 patients with obstructive colorectal cancer were recruited and divided into a XELOX treatment group and a combined treatment group, 35 in each group. The XELOX treatment group received XELOX chemotherapy, while the combined treatment group were received XELOX chemotherapy combined with Chinese herbal medicines. All patients received a 3-week treatment as a cycle, and for 4 cycles. The outcomes were Karnofsky performance status (KPS) and the Zubrod-ECOG-WHO Scale (ZPS). Adverse effects were recorded.ResultsAfter the treatment, the clinical symptoms score (1.62 ± 0.21vs. 2.12 ± 0.31;t=7.900,P<0.01) and ZPS score (1.07 ± 0.33 vs. 2.88 ± 0.41;t=20.346,P<0.01) in the combined treatment group were significantly lower than those in the XELOX treatment group, but the KPS score was significantly higher (93.42 ± 5.56vs. 86.43 ± 5.93;t=5.087, P<0.01). The follow-up showed that the 3-year survival rates in the combined treatment group was significantly lower than those in the XELOX treatment group (80.00%vs. 57.14%;χ2=4.242,P=0.039). The incidence of leukopenia (11.43%vs. 34.29%;χ2=3.970,P<0.05), anemia (5.71%vs. 22.86%;χ2=4.200,P<0.05), nausea/vomiting (8.57%vs. 28.57%;χ2=4.629,P<0.05), and diarrhea (2.86%vs. 20.00%;χ2=5.081,P<0.05) in the combined treatment group were significantly lower than those in the XELOX treatment group. Conclusion XELOX chemotherapy combined with Chinese herbal medicines can improve clinical symptoms, performance status, and alleviate adverse effects in patients with obstructive colorectal cancer.

AIM: To observe the effect of intravenous methylprednisolone combined with peri - orbital injection of triamcinolone acetonide for diffuse - type orbital inflammatory pseudotumor.
METHODS: Diffuse - type orbital inflammatory pseudotumor in 15 cases ( 19 eyes ) were treated. Intravenous implosive methylprednisolone therapy (0. 5g/ d) was used in the first 3d, and 0. 5g once a week in the following 3wk, ended by 0. 25g once a week in the last 6wk, which meant the total dose was 4. 5g and the whole course lasted for 10wk. At the same time, peri - orbital injection of triamcinolone acetonide ( 40mg ) was performed once in every 3wk, totally 2-4 times.
RESULTS: Eight eyes from 7 cases were completely cured, 11 eyes from 8 cases were partly cured. No recurrence and severe complications were observed in the treatment duration.
CONCLUSION: Intravenous methylprednisolone combined with peri - orbital injection of triamcinolone acetonide is effective, safe and feasible in treatment of diffuse type orbital pseudotumor with less complications.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of spiral CT head and neck angiography on carotid artery stenosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods:A total of 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI),who were treated in Affiliated Hospital of Yan'an University from January 2014 to January 2016,were selected as observation group,and 60 patients with non-acute cerebral infarction,as control group.The two groups of patients underwent spiral CT head and neck angiography.The degrees of carotid artery stenosis and the distribution of vascular plaques were compared between the two groups.The diagnostic value of spiral CT head and neck angiography in the diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis of the patients with ACI was evaluated.Results:The detection rates of mild and moderate stenosis in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05),while the detection rates of severe stenosis and occlusion had no significant difference compared with the control group (P>0.05).The total detection rate of stenosis in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).There were plaques detected in the carotid bifurcation,common carotid artery,internal carotid artery and external carotid artery in the two groups.The total detection rate (69.4%) of the observation group was significantly higher than that (41.2%) of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:Application of 128-slice spiral CT can effectively assess the head and neck angiography on carotid artery stenosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction.This method has a higher detection rate from mild to moderate stenosis and bilateral carotid artery plaques in the patients with ACI,and it has application value in the clinical diagnosis and prognosis.

Objective To determine the median effective dose(ED50)of etomidate inhibiting responses to endotracheal intubation when combined with dexmedetomidine in the patients with obstructive jaundice. Methods American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients with obstructive jaundice,aged 45-63 yr,with body mass index of 18-30kg/m2,scheduled for elective operations under general anesthesia,were divided into control group(group C)and dexmedetomidine group(group D)using a random number table. At 15min before induction of anesthesia,normal saline 0.1 ml/kg was infused intravenously in group C,and dexmedetomidine 0.4 μg/kg was infused intravenously in group D. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg,fentanyl 4 μg/kg,etomidate and cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg. The ED50 of etomidate was determined using Dixon′s up-and-down method. Etomidate was injected intravenously at the initial dose of 0.2 mg/kg in the first patient in each group. Each time the dose increased/decreased in the next patient according to whether or not the increase in mean arterial pressure and/or heart rate ≥ 20% of the baseline value within 3min after endotracheal intubation. The ratio between the two successive doses was 1.1. The number of patients in whom inhibition was effective or ineffective was recorded,and the ED50 and 95% confidence interval of etomidate inhibiting responses to intubation were calculated using Probit analysis. Results The ED50 (95% confidence interval)of etomidate inhibiting responses to intubation was 0.185(0.162-0.201)mg/kg in group C,the ED50(95% confidence interval)of etomidate inhibiting responses to intubation was 0.129(0.093-0.143)mg/kg in group D,and there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion When combined with dexmedetomidine,the ED50 of etomidate inhibiting responses to endotracheal intubation is 0.129 mg/kg in the patients with obstructive jaundice.

Aim To discuss the application of tissue spontane-ous fluorescence for draw focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in-jury in rats based on specific fluorescence detection technology. Methods The change of spontaneous fluorescence WAS COM-PARED between the brains of normal rats and those of rats with draw focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and an quantita-tive analysis was then made. Result The results showed that spontaneous fluorescence of brain tissue for focal cerebral ische-mia reperfusion injury changed significantly. Spontaneous fluo-rescence signal of injury considerably enhanced. The fluores-cence signal which was quantified by IVIS had significant statisti-cal significance compared with normal brain tissue, P <0. 05. Conclusion Our research shows that spontaneous fluorescence of brain tissue enhances obviously after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Our research provides a method for the re-search and evaluation of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion inju-ry model in rats.
