1.Influence of narrow-band ultraviolet B on serum vitamin D3 for patients with atopic dermatitis
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2015;14(4):285-287
To explore the clinical efficacies of narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) for atopic dermatitis (AD).Thirty AD patients (observation group) and 30 homochromous healthy volunteers (control group) were compared.The post-treatment scores of Scoring AD (SCORAD) and visual analogue scale (VAS) [(29.4 ± 9.5) & (3.2 ± 1.1) points] were lower significantly those pre-treatment [(60.7 ± 11.4) & 6.3 ± 1.6) points] (P < 0.01).The pre and post-treatment serum levels of 25 (OH) D3 and 1,25 (OH)2D3 were detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The post-treatment serum levels of 25 (OH) D3 and 1,25 (OH) 2 D3 [(75.36 ± 23.28) mmol/L & (149.28 ± 45.56) nmol/L] were significantly higher than those pre-treatment in observation group [(36.24 ± 18.48) mmol/L & (97.68 ± 32.88)nmol/L] (P <0.01).There were no significant differences from those in group control[(69.84 ± 20.64) mmol/L & (147.36 ± 43.68) nmol/L] (P > 0.05).And the pre-treatment serum levels of 25 (OH) D3 and 1,25 (OH)2D3 were all significantly lower in observation group than those in control group (P < 0.01).Thus NB-UVB therapy is both safe and effective for AD and it can boost significantly the serum level of vitamin D3.

4. Health reconstruction after Wenchuan Earthquake
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;29(7):717-719
Health reconstruction is an important part of post-earthquake reconstruction task. To do a better job in health reconstruction after a disaster, we should, based on previous experience and the characteristics of different periods, properly utilize the health resources for the disaster relief and exercise long-term management. And in a long run, we should, taking into consideration of the future health demands, plan the health reconstruction in the disaster areas. Emphasis should be made on the personnel training for epidemic prevention. Efforts should be made to fully recover the health system in the disaster area and the recovered health system should be better than that before disaster.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effectiveness of low temperature radiofrequency ablation on tongue cancer in early stage (<2 cm T1 stage) .METHODS High differentiated tongue squamous cell carcinoma(<2 cm T1 stage) were removed with radiofrequency ablation in 11 patients and with high-frequency electrotome in 20 patients from 2009 to 2014 in our hospital. All the patients underwent elective neck dissection(I,Ⅱ,Ⅲ regions). Intraoperative blood loss, VAS ratings of post-operative pain, post-operative bleeding rate and the recurrence rate of tongue cancer or lymph node metastasis were compared between the two groups.RESULTSIn the radiofrequency ablation group, the mean intraoperative blood loss was 13.82±7.40ml, the VAS ratings of post-operative pain were 3.8±1.3 (day 1), 2.5±0.7 (day 3) and 1.8±0.6(day 5), post-operation bleeding occurred in one case, and lymph node metastasis occurred in one case at 6 month after operation. In the high-frequency electrotome group, the mean intraoperative blood loss was 40.55±12.03ml, the VAS ratings of post-operative pain were 6.8±1.3(day 1), 4.4±1.1(day 3) and 2.3±0.7(day 5), post-operation bleeding occurred in one case, and lymph node metastasis occurred in 3 cases at 6 month to one year after operation. The intraoperative blood loss and post-operative pain in radiofrequency ablation group were significantly lower and less than that in the high-frequency electrotome group.CONCLUSIONRadiofrequency ablation is a promising method for early stage tongue cancer with less blood loss, invasiveness and complications.

Objective:To evaluate the nasal safety of gastrodin nasal temperature-sensitive in situ gel through the studies on cilia toxicity in toads and mucosal irritation in rats. Methods:The toads were randomly divided into four groups, saline group, gastrodin in situ gel group, blank gel matrix group and sodium deoxycholate group, and the cilia toxicity was observed in vivo by a toad palate meth-od. The rats were randomly divided into three groups, saline group, gastrodin in situ gel group and blank gel matrix group, and the mucosal irritation was studied in rats through the observation of nasal mucosal pathological changes and behavioral indices. Results:Compared with the saline group, gastrodin in situ and blank gel matrix showed no notable effect on the cilia movement function in toads, and the effect on cilia movement of sodium deoxycholate showed statistically significant difference when compared with that of sa-line, gastrodin in situ gel and blank gel matrix (P<0. 01). During and after the treatment, no sneezing appeared in the rats. Com-pared with that in the saline group, the number of scratching nose in the gastrodin in situ gel group and blank gel matrix group in-creased (P<0. 05) without difference between the groups (P>0. 05), and after the 2-day withdrawal, that in the gastrodin in situ gel group and blank gel matrix group decreased significantly when compared with that at the last administration (P<0. 05) and showed no notable difference when compared with that in the saline group (P>0. 05). The number of inflammatory cells in the nasal mucosa in the gastrodin in situ gel group and blank gel matrix group increased complicated with congestion and cilia falling off, and after the with-drawal, the mucosal morphology in the three groups showed no significant difference. Conclusion:The local application of gastrodin in situ gel has high security, which is valuable to be studied further.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of cetuximab in the adjuvant chemotherapy treat-ment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METH-ODS:Retrieved from Cochrane Library,PubMed,CJFD and Wanfang database,randomized controlled trials (RCT) about cetux-imab adjuvant chemotherapy (test group) versus single chemotherapy (control group) in the treatment of advanced NSCLC were collected,and Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.2 statistical software after extracting data and evaluating quality. RESULTS:A total of 8 RCT were included,involving 2 367 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed survival rate in 1 year [OR=1.33,95%CI(1.08,1.64),P=0.006],partial remission rate [OR=1.48,95%CI(1.23,1.78),P<0.001],total effective rate [OR=1.34,95%CI(1.19,1.51),P<0.001],incidence of leucopenia [OR=1.50,95%CI(1.23,1.83),P<0.001],incidence of rash [OR=53.26,95%CI(13.09,216.65),P<0.001] and incidence of infusion reactions [OR=3.72,95%CI(1.86,7.42),P<0.001] in test group were significantly higher than those of control group,there were significant differences in 2 groups. However,there were no significant differences in the complete remission rate [OR=1.57,95%CI(0.91,2.70),P=0.11] and incidences of other ADR(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Cetuximab has good efficacy in the adjuvant chemotherapy treatment of advanced NSCLC,however,the incidence of ADR should be prevented in clinic. Duo to the methodology limit of included studies,large-scale and high quality RCT are required for further validation of the conclusions.

Objective:To screen the best base for gastrodin nasal in situ gel ( ISG) to lay foundation for the development of gastrodin new preparation .Methods:Two bases were chosen , one was the combination of N-trimethyl chitosan ( TMC) , polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG4000) and glycerophosphate (GP), and another was the combination of TMC, poloxamer 407 (P407), poloxamer 188 (P188) and carbomer.With the nasal cavity temperature of 35℃as the test temperature, the gelling time of the two bases was determined to screen the optimal ratio.Furthermore, gastrodin was added into the two bases , and the gelling time was determined to choose the suitable base for the drug.Results:The base of TMC-PEG4000-GP couldn’t gel in the nasal cavity temperature when combined with gastrodin , while the base of TMC-P407-P188-carbomer could gel quickly when combined with gastrodin .Conclusion:TMC-P407-P188-carbomer can be used as the base for gastrodin nasal in situ gel .
