Objective To evaluate the value of PET-CT in patients with breast cancer and to determine if the PET-CT can provide additional information to predict early response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).Methods NAC was given to 20 patients with breast cancer confirmed by biopsy puncture from September 2009 to March 2012.The PET-CT was carried out for all patients before NAC.TEC program with three weeks for one cycle was selected.After 6 days of the first cycle,the PET-CT was performed again.The changes of standard uptake value before and after the first cycle were compared.At the same time hand palpation was selected to detect the changes in tumor size before and after the first cycle of NAC.The changes of the standard uptake value and in tumor size need to refer to the pathology Miller & Payne classification methods to evaluate the efficacy of the NAC.Results The SUV were (7.51±1.76) Bq/ml and (4.98±1.61) Bq/ml before and after chemotherapy (t =7.916,P < 0.05) the maximum tumor diameters were (9.62±4.38) cm and (8.89±4.08) cm before and after NAC (t =2.154,P> 0.05).SUV had highly correlated with pathological MP classification (r =0.725,P =0.000); while for the tumor size there was no significant change (r =0.026,P =0.824).Conclusion PET-CT can predict the efficacy earlier and is more accurate than clinical efficacy standard for the NAC.

Objective:To compare the applicability and consistency of NRS2002,SGA and MNA in general surgery hospitalized patients and analyze the effect in clinical outcomes of NRS resuits with respect to each tool.Method:The 150 patients hospitalized in our hospital were chosen as object of study,to screen and evaluate nutritional risk of patients by NRS 2002,SGA and MNA,respectively,on the second hospital day,then to compare the consistency of NRS results with respect to the four tools on clinical outcomes.Results:The applicabilities of hospital NRS2002,SGA and MNA were alternatively 97.25,97.25% and 98.35%.The evaluation of patients' NRS corresponding to different four tools was consistent.The effects of screening results of MNA,NRS2002 and SGA on clinical outcomes were most closely related.Conclusion:The three nutritional evaluation tools can be applied to the screening of malnutrition in General Surgery.The effects of screening results of NRS2002 and SGA on clinical outcomes were most closely related.
3.Medication Characteristics of Professor SHU Qijin Using"Clarifying the Source and Strengthening the Foundation"Method in Differentiation and Treatment of Primary Liver Carcinoma
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2024;48(9):1149-1153
[Objective]To explore the medication characteristics of Professor SHU Qijin,a renowned traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)practitioner in Zhejiang Province,in the treatment of primary liver carcinoma(PLC).[Methods]A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the characteristics of Professor SHU's differentiation and treatment of PLC,and Professor SHU's prescription medication for PLC patients were explored from the perspective of pathogenesis.[Results]The pathogenesis of PLC is complex,often based on liver depression and spleen deficiency,as well as organ Qi and blood deficiency.Prolonged illness,surgical operation,radiotherapy and chemotherapy can lead to Qi depletion and Yin damage,poor circulation of Qi and blood,obstruction of water and fluid metabolism,and subsequent endogenous evils such as Qi stagnation,blood stasis,water consumption,phlegm dampness and heat toxicity.Professor SHU often uses the method of soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen in clinical practice;strengthens medication for the related endogenous evil of"Qi,blood,and water"to slow down and eliminate the internal evil;pays attention to heat toxicity and use more heat clearing,detoxifying,and uses diuretic drugs to reduce tumor metastasis and recurrence;remembers to treat according to syndrome differentiation,strengthen the body resistance,strengthen the spleen,replenish Qi,and nourish Yin;combines modern pharmacology research of TCM and the theory of drug meridians,implements precise anti-cancer measures.[Conclusion]Professor SHU follows the method of clarifying the source and consolidating the root when diagnosing and treating PLC,adheres to the pathogenesis,focuses on syndrome types,regulates the circulation of Qi,blood,and water in the body,dispels pathogenic factors,clarifies the source,strengthens the body,uses precise medication,and provides comprehensive prescriptions to reduce the deterioration,metastasis,and recurrence of PLC.

Objective:
To explore the socioeconomic status and psychological characteristics of the children with oppositional defiant disorder(ODD), and to provide evidence for revealing the pathogenesis of ODD.
Methods:
General Conditions Questionnaire and Achenbach Children′s Behavior Checklist Scale (CBCL) were used to evaluate 44 cases of ODD children aged 8 to 14 years old who were first referred to the Eighth People′s Hospital of Zhengzhou City from August 2016 to January 2017, and 50 healthy children were randomly selected according to their grades from a primary school in Zhengzhou.
