Brain metastases from lung cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality,whichis lack of effective treatment.Because chemotherapeutic drugs are thought to not cross the blood-brain barrier(BBB), the role of chemotherapy in the treatment of brain metastases remains controversial. For yearsradiotherapy has been the standard treatment for brain metastases.However, recent studies have confirmedthat the BBB in patients with brain metastases tumors are broken down.At the same time,researchers havefound some new methods for chemotherapeutic drugs to reach the brain metastases.Chemotherapy will play amore and more active role in the treatment of brain metastases tumors.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the economic effects of different therapeutic schemes for knee osteoarthritis.METHODS: The clinical data of 116 patients with knee osteoarthritis were divided into three groups,namely,Group A(taking Celebrex 200 mg q.d for 28 days);Group B(Celebrex 200 mg daily orally plus topically application of Diclofenac diethylammonium);and Group C(Celebrex 200 mg daily orally plus topically application of 4 boxes of Capsacin ointment).The improvement of knee osteoarthritis was evaluated by Lysholm rating system.And a cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted.RESULTS: The costs of Group A,B,and C were 206.97 yuan,252.77 yuan and 298.53 yuan respectively;the effective rates were 61.54%,71.05% and 84.62%,respectively;the cost-effectiveness ratios were 336.32,355.76 and 352.79,respectively.The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of Group B and C as against Group A were 481.60 and 396.71,respectively.CONCLUSION: In Group C compared Group A,the effective rate was significantly higher;and as compared with Group B,the cost for gaining each unit of effectiveness in Group C was significantly lower.Group C is the optimal one among the three schemes.

It has been shown that two pathways of signal transduction are activated under the stimulation of cytokines , such as IL-1?TNF-? ?EGF?TGF-? ?PDGF?IGF-1, secreted by fibroblast-like synoviocytes with rheumatoid arthritis. They are receptor tyrosine kinases-Ras-MAPK pathway and non- receptor tyrosine kinases-JAK-STAT pathway. The former activation plays an important role in chronic synovitis of rheumatoid arthritis. More researches are expected to focus on G-protein-AC-cAMP signal transduction pathway and the internal relations of all kinds of pathways.

ObjectiveTo study streptococcus pneumonia capsular polysaccharide antibodies of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) in acute exacerbation and the feasibility of vaccination for patients with COPD.MethodsThe COPD in acute exacerbation without respiratory failure (RF)(COPD without RF group),COPD in acute exacerbation with RF (COPD with RF group),asthma (asthma group),healthy elderly examination(elderly examination group) and healthy youth examination (youth examination group) were selected,and each group had 15 cases.The levels of streptococcus pneumonia capsular polysaccharide antibodies IgG,IgM and IgA were measured in all groups.Results There was no significant difference in IgG among the five groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).The levels of IgM in COPD without RF group and elderly examination group were significantly lower than those in COPD with RF group,asthma group and youth examination group (0.554 ± 0.309 and 0.538 ± 0.327 vs.0.810 ± 0.387,0.887 ± 0.278 and 0.852 ± 0.305,P ＜ 0.05 ).Although the level of IgA in COPD without RF group was significantly lower than that in youth examination group(0.532 ±0.297 vs.0.930 ±0.502,P ＜0.05),there was no significant difference among the five groups.Conclusion Patients with COPD should inoculate pneumococcal vaccination.

Objective To study the characteristics of serum lipid metabolism in cadres aged 90 and above.Methods A total of 105 in-patient cadres aged 90 and above were assigned to the longevity group,and another 85 in-patient cadres aged 60 to 80 years were used as controls.Medical history of the participants were retrospectively reviewed,and serum levels of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),apoB,apoA-I,Lp(a)and body mass index(BMI)were tested.Results Compared with the control group,TC,TG,LDL-C,apoB and non-HDL-C were significantly decreased in the longevity group[3.90 +0.89 vs 4.36 ± 1.06,0.89(0.57)vs 1.16(0.69),2.35 ±0.72 vs 2.70 ±0.88,0.68 ±0.19 vs 0.75 ±0.22,2.69 ±0.79 vs 3.18 ± 1.00,respectively].However,HDL-C/TC and HDL-C/LDL-C were significantly increased in the longevity group [0.32 ±0.084 vs 0.28 ±0.082,0.52(0.22)vs 0.43(0.28),respectively].Lp(a)of the longevity group was higher than that of the control group,although no statistically significant difference was found.BMI of the longevity group was significantly lower than that of the control group.In the longevity group,the percentage of individual who were combined with hypertension,hyperglycemia,hyperlipidemia and overweight/fat was lower (24.8％ vs 43.5％).Conclusions Serum lipid level is relatively lower in cadres aged 90 and above,and those who are combined with hypertension,hyperglycemia,hyperlipidemia and overweight/fat are significantly lower in this populations.

Type B ultrasonic scanning was performed routinely for 10 944 pregnant women at their third semester when they visited outpatient department or were admitted to our hospital during January 2004 to December 2008, and their fetal heart rate, amniotic fluid, umbilical cord and neonate conditions were monitored and recorded during delivery. The sensitivity and specificity of type B ultrasonic were 95.74% (3301/3448) and 96. 25 % (7215/7496). Umbilical abnormality was diagnosed in 3448 pregnancies by type B ultrasonic scanning, with prevalence of 31.51%, cesarean section was performed in 44.00 %, fetal distress occurred in 18. 27% of them, 15.46% of them with Apgar score equal to or less than seven, and fetal death occurred in 2. 41% of them, all significantly higher than those in pregnant women without umbilical abnormal (23. 77%, 8. 56%, 7.84% and 1.36%, respectively, all P ＜0. 01 ). Cesarean section was performed in 41.90 % of those with 0. 8 cm or more in the notch depth of nuchal cord entanglement,fetal distress occurred in 29.76% of them, 25.30% of them with Apgar score equal to or less than seven and fetal death occurred in 4. 05% of them, all significantly higher than those in pregnant women with the notch depth less than 0. 8 cm (20. 22%, 8. 60%, 9. 26% and 0. 54%, respectively, all P ＜0. 01 ). Type B ultrasonic scanning plays an important role in clinical diagnosis for umbilical abnormality, guiding selection of delivery method and improving neonatal prognosis.
