OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of Elemene injection combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of gastric carcinoma,and provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from CBM, CJFD,VIP Database,Wanfang Database,Medline,EMBase,Cochrane Library and American Medical Association Database,ran-domized clinical trials(RCT)about Elemene injection combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of gastric carcinoma were col-lected,Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software after data extracting and quality evaluating by Cochrane 5.1.0. RESULTS:Totally 7 RCTs were enrolled,involving 434 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed recent efficacy [RR=1.38,95%CI(1.14,1.67),P=0.001] and improvement rate of life quality [RR=1.36,95% CI(1.15,1.60),P<0.001] of Elemene injection combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of gastric carcinoma were significantly higher than only chemotherapy. The incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ leukemia inhibition [RR=0.58,95%CI(0.37,0.91),P=0.02],incidence of Ⅰ-Ⅳ hemoglobin inhibition [RR=0.76,95%CI(0.60,0.95),P=0.02],incidence of Ⅰ-Ⅳ platelet inhibition [RR=0.69,95%CI(0.52,0.91),P<0.001] and Ⅲ-Ⅳ[RR=0.53, 95%CI(0.30,0.93),P=0.03] and incidence of Ⅰ-Ⅳ neurotoxicity[RR=0.69,95%CI(0.52,0.93),P=0.01] in test group were sig-nificantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS:Both efficacy and safety of El-emene injection combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of gastric carcinoma are good.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate therapeutic efficacy and safety of ubenimex combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of malignant tumor,and to provide evidence-based reference in clinic.METHODS:Retrieved from Central,PubMed,CJFD,VIP and Wanfang database,randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about ubenimex combined with chemotherapy (trial group) vs.single chemotherapy (control group) in the treatment of malignant tumor were collected.The quality of studies were evaluated by bias risk evaluation criteria of Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0 after screening literatures and extracting data.Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software.RESULTS:A total of 12 RCTs were included,involving 762 patients.The resuits of Meta-analysis showed that:shorter-term response rate [RR=1.24,95 ％ CI (1.08,1.43),P=0.002] and the improvement rate of life quality Karnofsky score [RR=1.69,95％ CI(1.46,1.95),P＜0.001] in trial group were significantly higher than control group;the incidence of gastrointestinal toxicity [RR=0.74,95％CI(0.57,0.94),P=0.02] and leucocyte suppression rate[Ⅰ °-Ⅳ°(＜3 months):RR=0.54,95％CI(0.37,0.79),P=0.002;Ⅲ°-Ⅳ°:RR=0.44,95％CI(0.29,0.68),P＜0.001] were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance.CONCLUSIONS:Ubenimex combined with chemotherapy can improve malignant tumor,shorter-term efficacy and life quality,and reduce gastrointestinal and marrow toxicity.

Radiation enteritis is a common complication of malignant tumors after radiotherapy, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. At present, there are increasing researches on the disease, but the pathogenesis is not clear, and the treatment methods are also different. Therefore, starting from the pathological changes of radiation enteritis, this article reviews the mechanism of the acute and chronic radiation enteritis, hoping to provide clinical reference.

In recent years， the incidence of pulmonary nodules has kept rising. To give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of pulmonary nodules and identify the breakthrough points of integrating TCM with Western medicine， the China Association of Chinese Medicine organized medical experts in TCM and western medicine to carry out in-depth discussion regarding this disease. The discussion encompassed the modern medical advances， TCM theories of etiology and pathogenesis， the role and advantages of TCM in the whole course management of pulmonary nodules， contents and methods of research on pulmonary nodules， and science popularization work， aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice and scientific research. After discussion， the experts concluded that the occurrence of pulmonary nodules was rooted in the deficiency of the lung and spleen and triggered by phlegm dampness， blood stasis， and Qi stagnation. TCM can treat pulmonary nodules by controlling and reducing nodules， improving physical constitution， ameliorating multi-system nodular diseases， reducing anxiety and avoiding excessive diagnosis and treatment， and serving as an alternative for patients who are unwilling or unfit for surgical treatment. At present， the optimal diagnosis and treatment strategy for pulmonary nodules has not been formed， which needs to be further studied from multiple perspectives such as clinical epidemiology， biology， and evidence-based medicine. The primary task of current research is to find out the advantages， effective prescriptions， and target populations and determine the effective outcomes of TCM in the treatment of pulmonary nodules. At the same time， basic research should be carried out to explore the etiology and biological behaviors of pulmonary nodules. The expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules with integrated TCM and Western medicine needs to be continuously revised to guide clinicians to conduct standardized， scientific， and accurate effective diagnosis and treatment.
