Abstract?AlM: To study the effect of Danggui Shaoyao Powder combined with trabeculectomy and bevacizumab on neovascular glaucoma? METHODS: Neovascular glaucoma patients were enrolled from January 2011 to February 2014 in our hospital, according to the different methods of treatment were divided into observation group given traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine combined with trabeculectomy, and control group received Western medicine combined with trabeculectomy. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, retinal thickness were compared.?RESULTS: Visual acuity level : 1wk; 6, 12mo after treatment, visual acuity in observation group were significantly higher than that in control group (0. 41±0. 07 vs 0. 27±0. 04, 0. 52±0. 08 vs 0. 38±0. 06, 0. 72±0. 14 vs 0. 54± 0. 08 ); lntraocular pressure: 1wk; 6, 12mo after treatment, intraocular pressure in observation group were significantly lower than that in control group (15. 11±3. 22 vs 22.32±5.34, 18.64±5.08 vs 26.67±6.22, 17.18±3.76 vs 22. 42 ± 4. 32 ) mmHg; Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness:12mo after treatment, nerve fiber layer thickness in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (90. 41±10. 52 vs 78. 64±8. 24, 88. 38±12. 12 vs 72. 37± 8. 82, 73. 21 ± 8. 46 vs 60. 25 ± 7. 23, 75. 35 ± 8. 13 vs 62. 63±7. 29)μm.?CONCLUSlON:Danggui Shaoyao Powder combined with trabeculectomy and bevacizumab on neovascular glaucoma can promote visual acuity recovery, control intraocular pressure, and improve the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness.

AIM：To introduce evidence-based pharmacy in respect to the definition,contents and principle in applying to decisions of clinical pharmacotherapy.METHODS：We focused the discussion on a brief summary of different study designs,factors affecting the strength of scientific evidence,and interpretation of the data.RESULTS：These application principles are helpful to guide clinical pharmacists solving clinical problems.CONCLUSION：Clinical pharmacist should use concepts in the evidence-based practice when making pharmacotherapeutic decisions in the future.

Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH) was a common complica-tion of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Recent studies have suggested that the origin of this disease is related to seceration of tumor cells and application of medecine. The inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion can lead to disturbance of metabolism of water and sodium, resulting in hyponatremia. Because the symp-toms are atypical, the diagnosis is difficult. Many cases are misdiagnosed or misseddiagnosed. The primary tumor must be treated and the restriction of water intake is the main and effective method to deal with SIADH. Prognosis of SCLC patients with SIADH is poor in most reports.

Objective To explore the features of nerve electrophysiology in Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) in children.Methods Thirty-four children with MFS were selected.The examinations of routine motor sensory nerve conduction,H reflexes of soleus muscle and F wave of median and tibial nerevs were performed.At the same time,33 healthy children of the same age were selected as control group and 30 children with typical Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) selected as GBS group,which were compared with children with MFS.Results In children with MFS,routine motor nerve conduction velocity and amplitude,and sensory nerve conduction velocity were in normal range.Twelve cases (35.29％) showed a decrease in sensory nerve amplitude potential (SNAP),5 cases (14.71％) showed sural sparing phenomena (the decline degrees of SNAP in median or ulnar nerve greater than in sural nerve),22 cases (64.71％) showed abnormality of H reflex,and 12 cases (35.29％) showed the decline of SNAE Compared with control group,there was no difference in sensory nerve conduction velocity and SNAP in sural nerve in children with MFS (P＜0.05);While there were significant decreases in SNAP in both median nerve and ulnar nerve (P＜0.05).Compared with GBS group,children with MFS had significantly higher sensory conduction amplitude and faster velocity (P＜0.01).Conclusion A decrease of terminal sensory nerve conduction amplitude could be found in children with MFS,but,the SNAP had limited impact on it.H reflex abnormality is the most common electrophysiologic abnormalities in MFS.

Objective To review the status and controversy on skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) for breast cancer. Methods The pertinent literatures about SSM published recently to comprehend its relevant techniques and improvements in comparison with non-skin-sparing mastectomy (NSSM) were analyzed and also the safety of SSM by analyzing the relationships between SSM and ductal carcinoma in situ, restrict nipple-areola complex reservation, and postmastectomy radiotherapy were discussed. Results Skin-sparing mastectomy combined with immediate breast reconstruction is a safe operative modality for T1/T2 tumor without skin adhesion, multicentric tumors, and ductal carcinoma in situ. What is more, it does not defer adjuvant therapy. However, it may be prudent to reserve the nipple-areola complex only for peripherally located T1/T2 tumors and some other less serious invasion degree. Since the effect of SSM and immediate breast reconstruction on postmastectomy radiotherapy is confusing, there are still controversies on whether the patients who have already been operated should take radiotherapy. Conclusion SSM is a safe operative modality for selected patients with breast cancer, and delayed reconstruction may be a good choice for patients who would take postmastectomy radiotherapy.

Objective To determine the investigation progression on exemestane in the treatment of breast cancer. Methods The literatures of recent years on the studies of exemestane were reviewed. Results Exemestane is an effective steroidal aromatase inactivator with superior tolerability, safety and efficacy in the adjuvant, neo-adjuvant and metastatic therapy of breast cancer. Conclusion With the progression of clinical trial with exmestane, exemestane will be regarded as an important drug in comprehensive therapy of breast cancer.

Objective To review the recent studies on the suppressing function of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) in breast cancer metastasis. Methods The recent literatures on the mechanisms of BRMS1 in the breast cancer that were published in and abroad were reviewed and summarized. Results BRMS1, similar to the other anti-metastasis genes, only suppresses the metastasis of breast cancer cells but has nothing to do with the growth of tumor. BRMS1 could suppress metastasis of tumor cells by reestablishing both the homospecific and the heterospecific gap junctional intercellular comminications (GJIC) and by altering the expressions of relevant metastasis genes in the breast cancer. Conclusion Further studies on BRMS1 may be helpful to understand the metastasis of breast cancer, which may provide a new way for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of steroid receptor coactivator family in initiation, development, treatment and prognosis of breast cancer. Methods The literatures in recent years which have related to the effect of steroid receptor coactivators in breast cancer are reviewed. Results Steroid receptor coactivators are essential for several kinds of steroid hormones binding to steroid receptors, so they are important accessory factors that induce the initiation, development and recurrence of breast cancer, and predictive factors that estimate the prognosis of breast cancer. Conclusion Inhibition of the expression and signaling pathway of steroid receptor coactivators may be effective for breast cancer prevention and treatment.

Objective To review recent studies on the research advance of the relationship between RET proto-oncogene and differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Methods The literatures in recent years on the structure of RET gene and coding product,cell signal transduction,relationship between RET proto-oncogene and differentiated thyroid carcinoma were reviewed.Results RET gene encoding tyrosine kinase receptor,involving in cell signal transduction,rearrangement of RET gene was frequently seen in papillary thyroid carcinoma.Conclusion Rearrangement of RET gene was closely correlated with the occurrence and progress of differentiated thyroid carcinoma,RET gene may be considered as a new therapeutic target for differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
