A platinum-based doublet with a third-generation agent represents the standard first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with good performance status (PS). Traditional chemotherapy provides response rates of 20 %-40 % and a median survival of 8-10 months. In an attempt to improve its outcome, alternative schedules have been proposed, namely sequential, alternating, and maintenance therapy. Sequential chemotherapy with a platinum-based doublet followed by a single agent is feasible in patients with good PS; The use of sequential single agents is an option for elderly and frail patients unsuitable for a platinum-based combination. Based on trials published so far, it is unlikely that an alternating chemotherapy strategy will be proved superior to standard chemotherapy in patients with good PS.Consolidation chemotherapy may provide additional benefit for patients achieving disease control after standard first-line chemotherapy.

Objective To understand the current status of infections of intestinal parasites of population in Taixing City,Ji-angsu Province. Methods The infection rates and densities of human intestinal parasites were investigated according to the methods of the National Investigation Scheme on Human Principal Parasites,and the data of society,economy and disease con-trol were collected and analyzed. Results Among 2 556 people investigated in five villages,16 persons were found with intesti-nal parasites, with an infection rate of 0.63%. The infection rate was higher in residents with a low education level than in others and it was higher in the age group over 50 years than in the group under 50 years. The infection density was mild and the most was the single parasite infection. Conclusions The current status of intestinal parasite infections of population in Taixing City has reached the county-level control standard of Jiangsu Province. Therefore,the preventive strategy and measures should be ad-justed and the monitoring work should be strengthened.

Objective To observe the effect of nutritional status change on hemodialysis patients of chronic renal failure and deficiency of spleen and kidney treated bytraditional Chinese medicine(TCM) of warming kidney and invigorating spleen. Methods In our center, 146 patients who were diagnosed chronic renal failure belonging to deficiency of spleen and kidney in TCM were received hemodialysis between Jun2012 and May2013. All patients were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=72) and a control group (n=74). 74 patients in the control groupreceived conventional hemodialysis and medicine treatment, and 72 patients in treatment group received conventional hemodialysis、medicine treatment and TCM treatment of warming kidney and invigorating spleen. The comprehensive nutritional assessment of all patients were treated by modified SGAN method (MQSGAN), anthropometric, biochemical and laboratory examination before and 6 monthsafter the treatment. Results The treatment group patients of modified SGAN(9.58±3.15), BMI (body mass index 19.34±0.52) Kg/m2, MAC(upper arm circumference 27.51±1.95)cm, TSF(tricepsskinfold thickness 12.92± 2.42) mm and MAMC(upper arm muscle circumference 23.64±1.96)cm were significantly improved compared with the control g roup(respectively data 13.23±3.14, 17.29±0.76) Kg/m2, (24.01±2.55, 10.58±2.71) mm, (20.71±2.04)cm, P<0.05,and treatment group patients with ALB(serum albumin 38.19±1.95)g/L, PA(prealbumin 2.23±0.16)g/L, TF(transferrin 0.21±0.04)g/L, CH(cholesterol 4.02±0.26)mmol/L, BUN(blood urea nitrogen 19.58±2.17)mmol/L and SCr (creatinine 869.54±79.15)mmol/L were significant improved also compared with the control group(respectively data 33.73±1.31)g/L, (1.67±0.25)g/L, (0.17±0.02)g/L, (3.22± 0.46)mmol/L, (16.27±1.12)mmol/L, (792.73±71.65)mmol/L, P<0.05. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine of warming kidney and invigorating spleen can improve the nutritional status and quality of life on patients with chronic renal failure belonging to deficiency of spleen and kidney type during hemodialysis.

Objective To understand the malaria prevalence and epidemic characteristics in Taixing City from 2005 to 2015,so as to provide the evidences for formulating the prevention and control strategy. Methods The malaria data of Internet reported cases as well as the reports on epidemiological survey of malaria cases in Taixing City from 2005 to 2015 were collected and analyzed with the methods of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Results A total of 61 malaria cases were report?ed in Taixing City from 2005 to 2015,including 4 local cases and 57 imported cases. There were 9 cases of vivax malaria,47 cases of falciparum malaria,2 cases of malariae malaria,and 3 cases of ovale malaria. There was no seasonality in the occur?rence of imported malaria. Though there was no correlation between the times of malaria attack and the duration for going out (r = 0.154 ,P = 0.253),there was a negative correlation between the former and the timeliness for visiting a doctor (r = -0.312,P=0.014). Conclusions The malaria cases are mainly imported ones in Taixing City,and the Plasmodium spe?cies of infection are diverse. Imported malaria overseas remains the key point for malaria control in Taixing City.

This research analyzes and explores the elements of the industry education integration in the process of pharmacy talent training from two aspects: collaborative education (professional construction, curriculum co-construction, skill deepening and talent transfer) and collaborative innovation (base expansion, technological research and completion innovation). Besides, this research also explores the outstanding performance of School of Pharmacy of Xiamen Medical College in talent training of the industry education integration. The results show that through the construction of collaborative education and collaborative innovation, the elements of the industry education integration in the cultivation of pharmacy talents in the school have become increasingly prominent, and the forms have been gradually diversified, which have promotion and guiding significance for other majors in our school to develop the industry education integration.
