Objective To investigate the effect of gemcitabine, paclitaxel combined with nedaplatin in treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods 40 patients diagnosed as locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma from May 2012 to August 2014 were randomly divided into observation group and control group. Patients in the observation group received gemcitabine plus nedaplatin chemotherapy, while those in the control group received paclitaxel plus nedaplatin chemotherapy. Then chemotherapy effect, adverse reactions, survival time and tumor marker contents were compared. Results The effective rate of the observation group was 65 % (13/20), which was higher than that (30 %, 6/20) of the control group (χ2 = 4.912, P< 0.05), however, there were no statistically differences in gastrointestinal reactions, bone marrow suppression, liver damage, kidney damage between groups (P> 0.05). Before chemotherapy, the SCCAg and CYFRA21-1 content of the control group were (2.30 ±0.31) ng/L and (18.27±2.19)μg/L, and the observation group were (2.34±0.27) ng/L and (18.48±2.25)μg/L, and there was no significant difference between the groups (P>0.05). After chemotherapy, the SCCAg and CYFRA21-1 content of the control group were (1.92±0.22) ng/L and (13.72±1.74) μg/L, and the observation group were (1.20 ±0.15) ng/L and (8.49 ±0.91) μg/L (P= 0.000). Conclusion Gemcitabine combined with nedaplatin chemotherapy can improve the chemotherapy effect and reduce tumor marker content, without increasing more adverse reactions, which is an ideal chemotherapy regimen for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the effect of early application of clean intermittent catheterization(CIC) in infants with neurogenic bladder(NB).Methods Eighty-seven children with NB diagnosed in our urodynamic center were less than 1 year old when they first came to hospital from January 2007 to January 2010, and CIC was carried out at different age.Sixty-four patients were followed up for a long time and divided into early CIC group(less than 1 year old children) and late CIC group(more than 3 years old children) according to the treatment time.Early CIC group included 29 patients [19 boys and 10 girls with the mean age of (7.5 ±2.8) months].And 4 cases were suffering from postoperative spina bifida manifesta;22 cases with spina bifida occulta;2 cases with sacral dysplasia;1 case with meningitis.Late CIC group included 35 patients [20 boys and 15 girls with the mean age of (8.0 ±2.9) months].2 cases were suffering from postoperative spina bifida manifesta;28 cases with spina bifida occulta;4 cases with sacral dysplasia;1 case with postoperative pelvic surgery.Before the treatment, there were no significant differences of the bladder compliance (BC), the maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) and the safety bladder capacity (SBC) between two groups.Urodynamic parameters and complications of 64 patients who were successfully followed up for 6 years were compared.Results After 3 years follow up, BC, SBC and MCC in early CIC group [(8.5 ± 1.9) ml/cmH2O, (140 ±25) ml, (142 ±29) ml]were significantly higher than those of late CIC group [(7.0 ± 2.2) ml/cmH2O, (110 ± 31) ml, (120 ± 28) ml;all P ＜ 0.05].After 6 years follow up, BC, SBC and MCC in early CIC group [(12.0 ±2.5) ml/cmH2O, (210 ±26) ml, (230 ±30) ml] were significantly higher than those of late CIC group [(9.3 ± 2.3) ml/cmH2O, (192 ± 31) ml, (205 ± 35) ml;all P ＜ 0.05], and the vesicoureteral reflux rate [24.1％ (7/29)] in early treatment group was significantly less than that in late treatment group [54.3％ (19/35), P ＜ 0.05].Increases in BUN and serum creatinine were found in 6 cases (20.7％) in early CIC group and 17 cases (48.6％) in late CIC group, the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion For NB patients, the effect of early CIC is better than that of late CIC.

Objective To discuss The Clinical Significance of Eosinophil (EOS) in urosepsis. Methods A total of 99 patients of urosepsis in Department of Urology,Guangdong Provincial TCM Hospital from Mar. 2013 to Jul. 2016 were selected as research objects by retrospective analysis. The patients were classified into groupEOS= 0 andgroup EOS > 0,group PCT(procalcitonin)≥ 2 ng/mL andgroup PCT < 2 ng/mL,the differences of PCT concentration and percentage of EOS in two groups were analyzed comparatively. 99 patients of urosepsiswere also compared the difference of the percentage of EOS with another group including 100 patients of urinary tract infection (UTI) without Sepsis. Results The percentage of EOS was significantly decreased in 86.9%(86/99)of patients of urosepsis. The paired student t test show the percentage of EOS in two days after treatment,four days after treatment, before hospital discharge were higher than that before the treatment, the difference wassignificant (P < 0.05). The Independent-Sample Test show that the PCTconcentration in EOS = 0 group were higher than EOS > 0 group,the percentage of EOS in PCT≥2 ng/mL groupwere lower than PCT<2 ng/mL group,difference were significant(P<0.05). And The Independent-Sample Testalso showed that the percentage of EOS of the Urosepsis group was definitely lower than the UTI group without Sepsis. Difference was statistically significant. Concusions The percentage of EOS could be applied to assess the severity of urosepsis, monitor the disease progression and evaluate the infection control. The cost was lower than PCT in therapeuticprocess ofurosepsis.

Objective In children with neurogenic bladder and secondary vesicoureteral reflux , we ex-plore the differences of urodynamics between the children with and without detrusor overactivity (DO). The study is in order to provide theoretical support for clinical practice. Method From January 2013 to March 2016, 110 children with NB vesicoureteral reflux diagnosed by videourodynamics were recruited. There are 63 boys and 47 girls aged 4-12 years with mean of 7.5 years. According to presence of DO during the filling phase, the patients were divided into DO (n=32) and non-DO groups (n=78). The time of bladder ureter reflux perfusion and detru-sor pressure were recorded for calculation of bladder compliance when the reflux occurs in the two groups. Maximum cystometry capacity and maximum detrusor pressure were recorded for calculation of the bladder compliance at the end of filling in the two groups. According to the reflux flow level, patients were divided into mild reflux (Ⅰ-Ⅱdegrees), severe reflux (Ⅲ-Ⅴdegrees). The difference of reflux side of the two groups and reflux degree were an-alyzed. Result In DO group, bladder capacity and compliance were (107.5 ± 21.3) mL and (5.6 ± 1.8) mL/cmH2O, respectively, when bladder ureter reflux occurs. In non-DO group, the bladder ureter reflux bladder capac-ity and compliance were (124.7 ± 35.6) mL, (6.7 ± 2.3) mL/cmH2O. The two parameters were significantly differ-ent in both groups. In DO and non-DO groups, the detrusor pressure were (21.7 ± 8.3) cmH2O and (19.6 ± 9.2) cmH2O, respectively, which does not have any significant statistical difference. At the end of filling, bladder capac-ity and compliance in DO group were (198.7 ± 36.5) mL, (5.8 ± 1.9) mL/cmH2O. In non-DO group, bladder ca-pacity and compliance were (223.8 ± 40.2) mL and (6.5 ± 1.4)mL/cmH2O. In both group, there are difference. In DO group, there are 20 cases of unilateral reflux (63%) and 12 cases of bilateral reflux (37%). In non-DO group, there are 31 cases of unilateral reflux (40%) and 47 cases of bilateral reflux (60%). The reflux of the two groups are also serious. Conclusion Small bladder capacity and poor bladder compliance are the urodynamic characteris-tics of children with NB and secondary vesicoureteral reflux when DO occurs.

Objective To assess the clinical value of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles as embolic material in patients with primary hepatic cancer (PHC). Methods Twenty patients with PHC underwent TACE. The mixed emulsion of chemotherapy agents and lipiodol was given to embolize the tumor vssTranscatheter arterial chemoembolization using polyvinyl alcohol feeding artery of tumors. The tumors size, response rate and Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) value were monitored respectively at the end of the first month, the third month, the sixth month and the first year after TACE. The changes of liver function, including serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TBILI), were recorded within 1 week and 1 month after TACE. The time to progression and the overall survival were recorded. Results Compared with pre-TACE, the tumor size decreased obviously at the end of the first month, the third month, the sixth month and the first year after TACE (P<0.05), the response rate reached 80.00%, 90.00%, 95.00% and 95.00%, respectively. The AFP value decreased obviously. Serum AST, ALT and TBILI significantly increased in the first week after TACE (P<0.05), but returned to preoperative level within 1 month. The average follow-up time was (19.8±7.0) months (range 12-32 months), the time to progression was (17.0±6.8) months, and the overall survival was (19.3±7.0) months. Conclusion PVA particles are optimal embolic material for TACE of PHC. Superselective embolization is necessary in TACE to achieve effective tumor devascularization and reduce liver damage.

Objective To investigate the associations of a single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the interleukin (IL)-6 gene with the migraine of a Han Chinese northeastern population.Methods We collected 252 patients of the migraine attack,who were diagnosed at People' s Hospital of Liaoning Province from March 2012 to June 2013,all being Han nationality in the northeast of China.At the same time,we collected 270 healthy people over the same period who had health examination or were healthy workers of People' s Hospital of Liaoning Province.We used polymerase chain reaction and gene sequencing to analyze the genotype and allele frequencies of the-572G/C (rs1800796) IL-6 polymorphisms between migraine cases (n =252;including migraine without aura (MO) group (n =168) and migraine with aura group (n =84);the male group (n =109) and the female group (n =143)) and control group (n =270;the male group (n =116) and the female group (n =152)),as well as analyzed the genotype and allele frequencies distribution between the subgroups.Results We found higher frequencies of the distribution of the C/C genotype and the C allele of the-572G/C polymorphism in migraine cases than in control group (32.54％ (82/252) vs 19.63％ (53/270),x2 =12.061,P =0.002;55.56％ (280/504) vs 45.37％ (245/540),x2 =10.818,P =0.001),higher distribution frequencies of the C/C genotype and the C allele in female group (21.83％ (55/252) vs 12.59％ (34/270),x2 =10.187,P =0.006;33.73％ (170/504) vs 26.48％ (143/540),x2 =10.073,P =0.002).Between MO group and controls,these distribution frequencies had statistically significant difference (24.60％ (62/252) vs 19.63％ (53/270),x2 =18.172,P=0.000;39.88％ (201/504) vs 45.37％ (245/540),x2 =17.307,P=0.000).After correction by conditional Logistic regression,the frequency distribution difference of the C/C genotype between the migraine cases and controls remained statistically significant (OR =22.861,95％ CI 5.218-27.098,P =0.023).Conclusion Our data indicate that the SNPs of the IL-6 are associated with migaine and the C/C genotype increases the migraine susceptibility in a Han Chinese northeastern population.

Objective:To study the effect of Pterostilbene on endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) induced by oxalate.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, HK-2 cells were divided into a control group (cultured with normal medium), an oxalate group (cultured with a medium containing 4 mmol/L of oxalate), and an intervention group of Pterostilbene (containing 4 mmol/L of oxalate + Pterostilbene 5, 10, and 20 μmol/L mixed medium were cultured at the same time), and the following tests were performed after 12 hours of treatment. Pterostilbene (5, 10, and 20 μmol/L) intervention group for cell viability test, lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity test, reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide enzyme, total antioxidant capacity detection experiments to explore the degree of oxidative damage, and Western blotting experiments to explore the protein expression of ATF6, GRP78, DDIT3, caspase12, Clevead caspase 3/9; Pterostilbene (10 μmol/L) intervention group to detect mitochondrial membrane potential, caspase 3 enzyme activity, apoptosis rate, reactive oxygen detection to detect the apoptosis, reactive oxygen level, and qRT-PCR to detect ATF6, GRP78, DDIT3 of cells mRNA expression.Results:CCK-8 and lactate dehydrogenase toxicity test results showed that the cell activity of the oxalate group was significantly lower than that of the control group [(45.6±3.1)% vs. 100.0%, P<0.001]; the lactate dehydrogenase [(330.2±11.1)U/L vs. (2.6±6.7) U/L, P<0.001] of the oxalate group was higher than that of the control group increased obviously; the cell viability[ (57.2±1.7)%, (67.2±3.4)%, (78.9±1.8)%] of Pterostilbene intervention group (5, 10, 20 μmol/L) significantly increased compared with oxalate group ( P<0.05); lactate dehydrogenase [(288.1±4.3)U/L, (260.9±5.5)U, (202.7±10.2)U/L] in Pterostilbene intervention group (5, 10, 20 μmol/L ) was significantly lower than oxalate group ( P<0.05). The results of the five biochemical indexes of malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione, total superoxide dismutase, catalase, and total antioxidant capacity showed that the cell damage state was consistent with the experimental results of CCK-8 and lactate dehydrogenase. The active oxygen test results showed that the oxalate group had a significantly higher active oxygen level (76.3±4.9 vs. 6.2±1.7, P<0.01); the active oxygen level (39.5±5.4) of the Pterostilbene intervention group(10 μmol/L) was significantly lower than oxalate group ( P<0.01). The flow cytometry and caspase3 enzyme activity showed an increase in apoptosis rate and caspase3 activity in line with the trend of reactive oxygen levels. Mitochondrial membrane potential results showed that the oxalate group had a significantly lower mitochondrial membrane potential (0.76±0.15 vs. 7.84±0.26, P<0.01), and the mitochondrial membrane potential (2.26±0.27) of the Pterostilbene intervention group (10 μmol/L) was significantly higher than oxalate group( P<0.01). Western blot analysis showed that the relative expression of ATF6, DDIT3, GRP78, caspase12 and Cleaved caspase3/9 protein in the oxalate group was significantly higher than that in the control group. The relative expression of ATF6, DDIT3, GRP78, caspase12, Cleaved caspase3/9 protein in the Pterostilbene intervention group was significantly lower than that in the oxalate group ( P<0.05). qRT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression trends of ATF6, DDIT3 and GRP78 in the three groups were consistent with the results of Western blotting. Conclusion:Pterostilbene can effectively inhibit the endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis of HK-2 cells induced by oxalate.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of gamma-ray fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) in the treatment of intracranial metastatic polycystic tumors.Methods Forty cases with 61 metastatic polycystic tumors were selected from 189 patients with 373 intracranial metastatic tumors admitted to our hospital from 2013 to 2015.All cases received gamma-ray FSRT.The isodose line at 50％ was defined as the prescription dose.The prescription dose was ranged from 40 to 48 Gy/10-12f.The survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method.The single factor analysis was performed by Log-rank method.Results The median follow-up time was 21months (range:6-39 months).The median survival time was 15.3 months.The 6-month,1-and 2-year local control rate was 93％,82％ and 79％,respectively.The 1-and 2-year survival rate was 63％ and 30％.Single factor analysis demonstrated that the volume of cysts and the volume of lesions were not significantly correlated with local control rate (P=0.17 and 0.48).Conclusion Gamma-ray FSRT can be adopted to treat intracranial metastatic polycystic tumors,which yields similar clinical efficacy to metastatic solid tumors.It deserves wide application in clinical practice due to high local control rate and safety.

Objective:To assess the impact of zero makeup policy for drug and medical supplies on hospitals. Methods:Descrip-tive statistics and comparative analysis were used to analyze the related indicators, profit and loss calculation and the cost of patients from April 2014 to March 2017.Results:After the policy was implemented, the number of outpatients and the number of outpatients choosing general doctors decreased. The average length of hospitalization was 8.88 days, and the proportion of drug consumption was 34.10%. The number of outpatients choosing medical experts, the number of inpatients and the proportion of surgical treatment in-creased. Although the policy benefited patients,the average medical expenditure still increased. There was policy loss in the hospital. Conclusion:The reform promotes the implementation of hierarchical medical system, optimizes the hospital income structure and re-duces drug proportion significantly,which achieves the original intentions of the policy to some extent.
