Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of bevacizumab combined with docetaxel in treatment of advanced cervix cancer.Methods Seventy-five patients with advanced cervix cancer accepted in our hospital from April 2011 to April 2016 were selected and divided into observation group with 43 cases and control group with 32 cases according to different treatment methods.Patients in control group were given docetaxel,and patients in observation group were combined with bevacizumab on the basis of control group.The clinical efficacy,adverse reactions,life quality and pharmacoeconomics of two groups were observed and compared.Results The total efficacy and clinical control rate of observation group were all higher than control group with statistically significance (P ＜ 0.05).The adverse reaction rate of two groups had no difference.Total efficacy of life quality improvement was 83.72％,which was obviously higher than control group 62.50％ with statistically significance (P ＜ 0.05).The average cost of observation group was (83 ± 10) thousands,of control group was (18± 6) thousands.The cost of observation group was obviously higher than control group with statistically significance (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Using bevacizumab combined with docetaxel in treatment of advanced cervix cancer has better effect clinical but costs much than docetaxel.We should set on treatment according to patients' own situation.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of ginsenosides ( GS) on reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative damage in mouse spermatogonial cells. Meth-ods Mouse spermatogonial cell oxidative stress model was established and the attenuating effects of ginsen-osides on germ cell oxidative damage were evaluated by determination of cell viability,malondialdehyde( MDA) formation,superoxide dismutase ( SOD) activity and glutathione ( GSH) level. Results The exposure to hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase ( HX/XO) induced an elevation in MDA,while a decrease in germ cell viability,SOD activity and GSH level. However,supplementation with GS ( 10 mg?L -1) restored HX/XO-induced decrease in cell viability,SOD activity and GSH level and HX/XO-induced increase in MDA formation. Conclusion GS may exert antioxidant activity to attenuate reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative damage in mouse spermatogonial cells.

BACKGROUND:Surgical treatment for pigmented vil onodular synovitis can maximize the excision of synovial lesions and recovery of joint function.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the knee joint function and relapse rate fol owing treatment of pigmented vil onodular synovitis with total knee replacement and arthroscopic synovectomy.
METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed 34 cases of knee pigmented vil onodular synovitis admitted for surgical treatment in the Department of Orthopedics, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, China from December 2006 to December 2011. In these cases, 24 patients received arthroscopic synovectomy and 10 patients were subjected to total knee replacement. Adjuvant radiotherapy was conducted according to postoperative patient’s conditions. Lysholm scoring was employed in the arthroscopic synovectomy group, and American Knee Society scoring was used in the total knee replacement group. Knee function in two groups was compared before and after treatment. Fol ow-up observation was performed to compare knee function recovery and relapse rate between two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Thirty-four patients were effectively fol owed up for 12-66 months, mean 41.3 months. Statistical analysis showed that in the arthroscopic synovectomy group, the postoperative Lysholm score was (86.3± 10.3) points, significantly higher than the preoperative score which was (55.5±13.2) points (t=3.81, P=0.016, P<0.05). In the total knee arthroplasty group, the American Knee Society score was increased from (40.7±2.2) points preoperatively to (90.2±1.1) points postoperatively (t=6.27, P<0.01). In the arthroscopic synovectomy group, the American Knee Society score was increased from (34.2±3.9) points preoperatively to (80.8±1.9) points postoperatively (t=16.58, P<0.01). Arthroscopic synovectomy combined with adjuvant radiotherapy can achieve better outcomes in pigmented vil onodular synovitis patients, while the total knee replacement for advanced with advanced knee diffuse pigmented vil onodular synovitis is better to restore knee function and the recurrence rate is low.
