Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been widely used in ⅡA, ⅡB, ⅢA stage and locally advanced breast cancer. The best way to evaluate NAC effect is to detect the changes in total tumor lesion volume by three-dimensional reconstruction under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). At present, it is a hotspot for many scholars to effectively evaluate the efficacy of NAC and the impact of shrinkage modes on the evaluation after NAC in breast cancer by combination of multiple parameters, such as the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), time-intensity curve (TIC) type and minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). To provide more practical and accurate means and methods in evaluating the effect of NAC in breast cancer for clinic is the medical researchers′eternal target.

The damage to the barrier of colonic mucosal epithelial cells is the fundamental cause of bacterial translocation.The tight junction among epithelial cells forms the most important constituent part of the mechanical barrier of the organism to prevent bacterial translocation from happening in the intestinal canal.The para-colonic-mucosal-epithelial-cell space is closed by protein complexes which are considered to be used for regulating the permeability between cells.ZO-1,Claudin-1 and Occludin are the most representative among the numerous protein complexes.They have become the important index to judge the damage degree of the barrier of colonic mucosal epithelial cells in test.The endotoxin is the product released by bacteria.Anti-endotoxin is one of the methods to protect the colonic mucosal barrier,to prevent and treat bacterial translocation.There are anti-endotoxin drugs.However,there has not been any drug widely recognized clinically up to now.Qingyi Decoction and Chaiqin Chengqi Decoction are the traditional Chinese medicine with the function of protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier and suppressing the transloeation of enteric bacteria.Oxymatrine has many pharmacological effects such as anti-bacterial,anti-inflammatory and immunoragulation.The recent animal experiments showed that oxymatrine has protective effect on the intestinal mucosa during severe infection.However,the mechanism of the drug action has not been completely known and needs to be studied in depth.Our traditional Chinese medicine applies extensively in clinical application of the prevention of the damage to the colonic mucosal epithelial cells during severe infection.

Objective To evaluate pressure-flow study in assessment of dysuresia symptom in elderly male patients. Methods A total of 125 elderly male patients with dysuresia and prostatic enlargement underwent urodynamic examination.Their age ranged from 56 to 83 years with a mean of 68 years.If the patients urinated smoothly with satisfying urinary flow curve,the pressure-flow study would be performed on them.According to the results,the patients were classified as 3 groups:BOO,equivocal BOO and non-BOO groups.Their detrusor contractive function was classified as strong,normal,weak or very weak. Results Of the 125 patients undergoing urodynamic test,87 obtained definite pressure-flow study findings.Of the 87 patients,39 were with BOO,18 with equivocal BOO and 30 without BOO.In the BOO,equivocal BOO and non-BOO groups,detrusor pressure at maximum flow was (99.2?34.3) cmH 2O (1cmH 2O=0.098 kPa),(46.9?9.9)cmH 2O and (30.8?10.0)cmH 2O,respectively;intravesical opening pressure was (99.4?39.6) cmH 2O, (43.7?9.9) cmH 2O and (29.9?9.7) cmH 2O, respectively; minimum voiding detrusor pressure was (61.3?27.5) cmH 2O, (33.9?14.1)cmH 2O and (22.1?12.5)cmH 2O,respectively;and maximum detrusor pressure was (113.0?42.1)cmH 2O,(55.8?14.9)cmH 2O and (38.4?11.3)cmH 2O,respectively.The detrusor function was normal or strong in 74.4% (29/39) of patients with BOO,27.8%(5/18) of patients with equivocal BOO and 26.7% (8/30) of patients without BOO.All these parameters of the BOO group were higher than those of the equivocal BOO group and non-BOO group (both P

Objective To evaluate the bladder functions by urodynamic studies in diabetic patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Methods Urodynamic studies were performed in 42 diabetic patients (24 men and 18 women;age range,38-78 years).The diabetic history of the patients was from 1 month to 25 years. Results Of the 41 cases who underwent all items of urodynamic examination,38 cases (93%) had abnormal findings and 3 (7%),normal.The detrusor was underactive in 14 cases (34%) and areflexia in 10 (24%);BOO was found in 13 (32%).One female patient had stress urinary incontinence. Conclusions There is a high prevalence of bladder dysfunction in diabetic patients with LUTS.It is necessary to perform urodynamic studies in diabetic patients before initiation of therapy,especially in patients who are assigned to undergo bladder and urethral surgery.Preoperative urodynamic studies can contribute to the surgical success rate.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy within concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT)for local advanced cervical cancer (LACC:Stage Ⅰb2 - Ⅳa).Methods 42 LACC patients were treated with CCRT combining with intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy (CCRT group),and another 60 LACC patients were under-went radiotherapy alone (control group).The clinical efficacy,adverse reactions and overall survivals (OAS)were evaluated,be-tween the two groups,respectively.Results Overall response rate was 92.8% in CCRT group.Of 42 patients,24 had achieved complete response (CR)in CCRT group (57.1%).The 5-year overall survival rate in CCRT group was 76.2%,which was signifi-cantly higher than that of control group (49.3%),respectively (P =0.01).Multivariate COX proportional hazards model revealed that the clinical stage(P =0.01 6),pelvic positive lymph nodes (P =0.007)were independent factors of monitoring prognosis of LACC patients treated with CCRT combining with intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy.Conclusion CCRT with intra-arterial infu-sion chemotherapy is a safe and effective method for LCCA,and clinical stage and pelvic positive lymph node were independent fac-tors of the prognosis of patients.

Objective To explore self-emulsifying particle size characterization methods and compare the regularity of various methods. Methods By setting the clarity level of turbidity standard solution, with two less soluble drugs-diterpene lactone compounds Chuanhuning and dihydropyridine drug nifedipine as model drugs, 10-12 clarity level prescriptions were selected from six different ternary phase diagram. Laser particle size scanner was used to determine the particle size, and UV-visible spectrophotometry to determine its absorbance. Three methods of particle size characterization rules were compared by drawing charts. Results There was a positive correlationship among droplet particle size, absorbance and clarity grade of emulsion formed by prescription in the same phase diagram. But, there was no regularity among droplet particle size, absorbance and clarity grade of emulsion formed by prescription in different phase diagram. Conclusion The droplet particle size of emulsion formed by prescription containing the same drugs and excipients in different proportions can be compared by clarity with visual method or absorbance with UV-visible spectrophotometer.

Objective To explore the significance of palpation-negative breast tumor resection with ultrasound-guided methylene blue labeling and percutaneous suture traction.Methods 46 cases of small breast tumors with the diameter from 0.5 cm to 1.0 cm were double labeled with methylene blue under the guide of ultrasound l hour preoperatively.The tumors were fixed,drew outward with percutaneous suture and resected accurately.All the 46 cases were rechecked by ultrasound to verify whether residual or false resection occurred 1 month later.Results All the 58 tumors of the 46 patients were accurately resected.No residue or false resection occurred.The average operation duration was 10 min to 20 min.Conclusion Palpable-negative breast tumor resection with ultrasound-guided methylene blue labeling and percutaneous suture traction has the advantages of small invasion,accurate positioning and short operation duration.
