International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;39(3):301-303
Low-dose chemotherapy is concerned in treating malignant tumor in recent years.The lowdose,metronomic chemotherapy is not only effective in antiangiogenic,but also avoid chemotherapy side effects,such as suppression of bone marrow,dysfunction of liver and kidney,gastrointestinal reaction and drug resistance.Thereby it can increase patient compliance,improve life quality and prolong survival time.Currently chemotherapy in neuroblastoma still plays a key role,especially low-dose chemotherapy,which can protect self-immune function and reduce the physical injury in children.

Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2017;36(8):910-913
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus rehabilitation training in improving post-stroke dysphagia. Method A total of 60 patients with post-stroke dysphagia were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The two groups were intervened by basic treatment of internal medicine and swallowing rehabilitation training, and the treatment group was additionally given acupuncture treatment. The Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA), water swallowing test and Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire (SWAL-QOL) were evaluated in the two groups before and after the treatment. Result After the treatment, the SSA scores in the two groups were significantly decreased compared to those before the treatment (P<0.01), and the SWAL-QOL scores were significantly increased compared to those before the treatment (P<0.01); the SSA score in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01), and the SWAL-QOL score was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The water swallowing test classification after the treatment was significantly superior to that before the treatment in the treatment group (P<0.01), and there was a significant difference compared to that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture plus rehabilitation training can obviously improve the swallowing function of patients with post-stroke dysphagia, and the clinical efficacy was superior to single rehabilitation training.

Modern Clinical Nursing 2017;16(6):15-18
Objective To explore the application of the comprehensive pain assessment scale to the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Methods About 100 patients suffering from PHN were randomly divided into two groups: the control group and experiment group. The former was treated with recording for pain assessment and the latter was treated with the comprehensive pain assessment scale. Two sets of data were compared and analyzed in view of quality of sleep, average length of hospitalization and the duration of side effects of drugs. Result The effect of the experiment group was better than the control group in the quality of sleep, the average length of hospitalization, reduction of side effect duration of drugs (P<0.05). Conclusion The comprehensive pain assessment scale throughout the whole process of the PHN treatment can achieve timely and effective assessment of pain and reduce the side effect duration of drugs, improve their sleep quality, and shorten the hospital stay.
