Objective To study the clinical values of neuron-specific enolase(NSE) as serum tumor marker in lung cancer.Methods The serum NSE levels in 96 patients with lung cancer,60 patients with begnign pulmonary disease and 60 healthy controls were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results The levels of NSE in serum in patients with lung cancer was significantly higher than those in healthy subjects and patients with begnign lung disease(P0.05).The effective rate of chemotherapy were 87.10%,40.00% and 66.67%, 33.33% in patients with SCLC and NSCLC,respective for NSE positive and negative ones(P

Tumor Markers(Tumor Markers,TM) as a member of the tumor microenvironment components,change with the tumor microenvironment and the functional status of the body.Chinese medicine can improve the overall regulation of tumor micro-environment impact on the TM,which to some extent,the dynamic detection of TM can be reflected in the earlier short-term medical treatment of cancer patients.Based on TM,we clarified the relationship of differentiating disease and differentiating syndrome,type of syndrome and histology pathology type for tumor.This will provide new theoretical foundation for clinical anti-tumor studies from the microcosmic scope.

In clinical treatment, it is found that certain patients always have some positive reaction points those are relevant with low back pain in the abdomen area. When the simple treatment on the low back is ineffective, the efficacy could be significantly improved if acupuncture or tuina is performed at the abdomen areas, which is called "regulating yin to treat yang", or "treating the back from abdomen". In this paper, with the diagnosis and treatment method of "treating the back from abdomen" for low back pain as principal line, the detailed manipulation is explained for low back pain that is induced by TCM meridian diseases or modern anatomy, which could open the methods for clinical treatment of low back pain and enrich the therapeutic options.

Objective To study the differences between the mandibular movement in empty opening and protrusion trace of the skeletal anterior reverse malocclusion before and after the early protraction treatment in early stage of mixed dentition. Methods ACRUSdigma system, a kind of ultrasonic mandibular movement record system, was used in the study. The kinematic center which can represent the translation and rotation of the condylar and the incisal points were used as reference point to compare the difference of the empty opening and protrusion mandibular movement trajectory of 30 individuals with skeletal anterior reverse bite malocclusions before and after the early protraction facemask treatment. Results For the kinematic center, the typical trajectory was changed, the upper movement disappeared and the distances between vertical and horizontal movements were increased at the end of the treatment in the empty opening movement on the sagittal plane. In the empty protrusion movement, the interplanar distance of the kinematic center was increased significantly on the sagittal plane. For the incisial point, it moved ahead at first and then downward vertically in the empty protrusion movement, and the interplanar distance was increased significantly on the sagittal plane in the empty opening movement. Conclusions By giving the protraction treatment, the relation of upper mandible and submaxilla of the skeletal anterior reverse bite malocclusions is changed. During the later stage of the treatment, for the occlusal splint was ground off, the normal occlusial inducement is built, which affords the rebuilding of temporomandibular joint (TMJ), ligaments and muscles. The trajectory also becomes normal. The normal trajectory may supply a better environment for the development and rebuilding of jaw, TMJ, ligaments and muscles.

AIM: To investigate the situation of patients with mechanical ocular trauma and the possible influencing factors related to the prognosis.METHODS: Totally 260 patients(286 eyes) with mechanical ocular trauma from January 2011 to January 2016 in Xiaogan Central Hospital were selected and retrospective studied.Sociology and clinical data including gender,age,career,injury causes,injury nature,treatment time and visual acuity on admission in these patients were univariate analyzed,then the positive factors were analyzed using Logistic regression.RESULTS: The middle-aged and young males were domain in 260 patients.The causes were mainly sharp instrument injury,while perforating injury of eyeball was the majority in injury nature.Univariate analysis showed that injury causes,injury nature,treatment time and eyesight on admission were influencing factors,while multivariate analysis by Logistic regression showed that visual acuity on admission and orbital contusion were independent influencing factors for patients ocular trauma.CONCLUSION: Ocular trauma is a majoy cause of monocular blind,there are close associations between prognosis of ocular trauma and orbital contusion and visual acuity on admission.But the majority of ocular trauma is preventable and treatable,the relevant measures should be developed to prevent the ocular trauma.

AlM: To analyze the correlation between tear film changes of allergic conjunctivitis and dry eye, then provide clinical references for better treatment.
METHODS: Fifty patients with allergic conjunctivitis were taken as the observation group, the control group was selected based on 1:1 case control theory, and we chose 50 health volunteers without ocular surface diseases, xerophthalmia and systematic diseases randomly, then fluorescein ( FL) staining, break-up time ( BUT) , Schirner l test ( SⅠt) , tear meniscus high ( TMH) and slit-lamp examinations were performed in the two groups.
RESULTS: ln the observation group, FL, BUT, Slt, TMH of right eyes and left eyes were statistically significant correlated ( P < 0. 05 ). FL and BUT were statistically significant between control group and observation group (P<0. 05). TMH and Slt has positive correlation, while FL and BUT has negative correlation and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). CONCLUSlON: Due to inflammatory mediators participation, allergic conjunctivitis could lead to the stability changes of tear film which cause in dry eye. The stability changes of allergic conjunctivitis correlate to the damage degree of epithelium.

As a characteristic tumor therapy in China, Chinese medicine (CM) plays an important position in comprehensive treatment of tumor. It's a critical issue of objective realization, analysis and evaluation of CM safety for scientific decision-making in tumor safe medication and it also is a pivotal issue which affects the international communication. The safety evaluation of CM includes three phases: pre-clinical safety evaluation, clinical trials (micro-dose studies and traditional clinical trials) and post-marketing CM safety assessment. The key point of evaluation should be distinguished among different stages and various types of CM (such as classic formulas, Chinese herbal extracts, etc). Emphasis should be given to chronic toxicity when evaluating oral Chinese herbal , microdose studies and quality control must be underlined while injection is evaluated and more attention should be pay to the dose-effect relationship and time-effect relationship when turned to toxic Chinese medicine , and so as for the toxicity grading study. Moreover, we should constantly improve CM safety assessment method in various stages of tumor treatment, such as introducing the concept of syndrome classification theory, bringing in metabonomics and real-world research method which are similar to the CM therapeutic concept. Most importantly, we must keep its own feature of CM theory when we learn the concept of safety evaluation from abroad. Actively exploring the anti-tumor medicine safety evaluation methods and strategies is of great significance for clinical and experimental research, and it can provide supportability platform to CM's international communication.
