Patients with HER-2-positive advanced breast cancer were associated with poor prognosis. Meanwhile, HER-2-targeted ther-apy has dramatically improved survival and prognosis among breast cancer patients. Over the years, multiple HER-2-targeting drugs stepped into clinical practice, and the targeted agents are now considered as the standard of care in the first-line setting and beyond. This review basically summarizes the importance of HER-2-targeted therapy, the significance of the clinical trial results, and the clinical practice guidelines for the management of patients with HER-2-positive advanced breast cancer.

The optimal treatment of elderly women with breast cancer still faces many difficulties. Life expectancy, comorbidity, and functional status influence clinical decision and survival. Standard adjuvant medical treatments should not be withheld from healthy older patients with reasonable life expectancies. In this study, adjuvant medical treatment literatures for elderly breast cancer patients, including endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, and HER2-targeted therapy, were reviewed, focusing on efficacy and toxicity of drugs for elderly women.

Objective: To study the stability of forsythiaside. Methods: The stability of forsythiaside was studied by using UV spectrum obsiving the changes of spectrums in different conditions. Results: Forsythiaside was very unstable under the condition of alkali (pH=9.40), relatively stable at the pH=6.86, 60?Cand stable at the pH= 4.03 . Conclusion: The stability of forsythiaside can be affected by the condition of the acid, alkali and temperatures obviously.

Objective To observe the efficacy of combination of pranoprofen and artificial tears in treatment of dry eye syndrome after recovery from acute conjunctivitis. Methods This study involved 206 eyes of 157 consecutive patients who had recovered from acute conjunctivitis after routine treatment between July 2008 and September 2010. All cases were randomly divided into artificial tears group (79cases,104eyes) : artificial tears eye drops alone and combination group(78cases,102eyes) : pranoprofen combined with application of artificial tears eye drops. All patients'symptoms, signs such as tear film break 2 up time (BUT ) ,Schirmer I test (SIT) , corneal fluoresce staining (FL) score at 3,7,14days after treatment Were observed. Results All patients finished the trial at the end of the follow-up duration. There were significant differences in symptoms, BUT and corneal fluoresce staining between the two groups after treatment,combination group was superior to artificial tears group in BUT and FL. Conclusion Pranoprofen combined with artificial tears eye drops is superior to artificial tears eye drops alone

OBJECTIVE Approach the cause of esophageal perforation and the analysis of diagnosis, therapy and its outcome in this disease. METHODS We retrospectively review 11 patients of esophageal perforation between1997 and 2004 in our department. There were 9 cases were taken out foreign bodies from their esophageal, another 2 cases haven't been found any foreignbodies and 1 of 2 was caused by iatrogenic reasons. Perforation occurred in the cervical esophagus was 4, and in the thoracic esophagus was 7. Their symptoms were dysphagia or pain, retrosternal-pain, dyspnea, subcutaneous emphysema, fever, hematemesis or melena. RESULTS 7/11 cases visited the clinic during 24 hours after foreign-body occured, 4/11 cases visited after 24 hours and the last visited clinic on 27th day late. Dysphagia was the most common presenting symptom specially with pain in eating, noted in 9 cases (81.8 %); retrosternal-pain and fever were noted in 8 cases (72.7 %), subcutaneous emphysema in 5 (45.5 %), dyspnea in 2 (18.2 %), hematemesis and melena.in 1 (9.1 %). 5 cases were died and the common mortality was 45.45 % (5/11). The mortality in primary repair with surgery treatment was 66.7 % (2/3); the mortality in conservative management was 37.5 % (3/8). The mortality of the perforation in cervical esophagus was 25 % (1/4), in thoracic esophagus was 57.14 % (4/7). The mortality of the visit time in 24 hours was 28.57 % (2/7),and out of 24 hour was 75% (3/4). CONCLUSION Sophageal perforation is usually caused by foreign body or iatrogenic in ENT-Head&Neck surgery. The esophageal perforation will been cured that decided in early visiting, taking away of foreign-boby, the right choice of antibiotic, nutritional support, primary healthy statement of esophagus. We regard that should perform non-operational conservative therapy in the patients who resulted in esophageal perforation except abscess or remain causing by foreign body. And the high risks in mortality of the repairing in surgery should been noticed.

Objective: A capillary electrophoresis for the determination of berberine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride in Ruyijinhuang Powder(Rhizoma Curcumae Longae, Radix et Rhizome Rhei, Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Atractylodis, etc.) was established. Methods: The berberine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride were determined using benzoic acid as an internal standard its detection wavelength was at 230nm. The optimized condition was achieved with a fused\|silica capillary 100?m?56.5cm, 10mmol?L -1 phosphate buffer(pH=4.80) containing 30% acetonitrile, a constant voltage of 20kv and temperature at 30℃. Results: Calibration curve was constructed in the range of 5?g?mL -1 ～100?g?mL -1 for berberine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride, respectively. The regression equations were Y=0.02964X -0.00771 ( r =0.9998) and Y =0.01092 X -0.02939 ( r =0.9997) for berberine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride, respectively. The average recovery was 98.7% and 102.1%( n =5), respectively. Conclusion: This method is sample, quick and sensitive.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and effects of minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy(MIVAP)for parathyroid adenoma or cyst.Methods A 2 cm skin transverse incision was made above the suprasternal notch.Without gas insufflation,a cavity was built with retractors.Under endoscopic assistance,parathyroidectomy was performed by using a harmonic scalpel(3 cases of nonfunctioning parathyroid cyst and 7 cases of parathyroid adenoma accompanying hyperparathyroidism).Results The operation was successfully accomplished in all the 10 cases,without conversions to open surgery.The operative time was 20～70 min(mean,40 min).No hoarseness,choking cough,or hemorrhage occurred.A transient hypocalcemia developed in 3 cases.All the patients were followed for 2～18 months(mean,9 months),with satisfactory curative and cosmetic results.Conclusions Minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy appears to be a safe and effective treatment with good cosmetic results and postoperative outcomes.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),the precise etiology of which remains unknown,is comprised of two forms of chronic intestinal inflammation,ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.Recent researches suggest that angiopoiesis plays an important role in the development of IBD.Many cytokines can enhance angiopoiesis,such as fibroblast growth factor-2,interleukin-8,platelet-derived growth factor,transforming growth factor-? and particularly vascular endothelial growth factor.This review summarizes the angiopoietic factors correlated with IBD.

OBJECTIVE:To improve automatic outpatient pharmacy drug delivery system in our hospital,and to promote the efficiency of automatic drug delivery. METHODS:The outpatient pharmacy automation system of our hospital was introduced in terms of main structure,working process and application. The work efficiency,safety and error were compared between automatic drug delivery mode and manual drug delivery mode. Drug delivery machine was improved to increase the rate of drug delivery. RE-SULTS:The outpatient pharmacy automation system of our hospital included 2 boxed drug delivery machine and 1 drug dispensing machine,etc. Compared with manual drug delivery mode,automatic drug delivery mode improved drug delivery efficiency,health security and use security,and reduced drug delivery error. Through adjusting the time setting and step of drug delivery of gearing in drug delivery machine,idle time of transmission equipment was utilized effectively,and the quantity of delivered prescriptions was increased,increasing from 220 to 320 each hour. CONCLUSIONS:The reasonable improvement of outpatient pharmacy auto-mation system makes outpatient pharmacy automation system play a bigger role,and further optimize resources.
