Cyclooxygenase (COX) is a crucial enzyme in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins.There are two COX isoforrns:COX-1 and COX-2.Recently it is demonstrated that there is a close relationship of COX-2 with the occurrence,development and metabasis of tumor; COX-2 inhibitor is hoping to be a new target in tumor therapy.The article overviews many progresses of COX-2 about its expression,modulation and mecha-nism of carcinogenesis in cholangiocarcinoma in order to explore the prospect of the COX-2 inhibitors in cholangioearcinoma treatment.

Objective To study the relationship among hydrops fetalis(over 28 gestational weeks),Mirror syndrome and preeclampsia(PE). Methods Clinical data of 13 cases of hydrops fetalis were analyzed and relative publications were reviewed. Results Eight out of the 13 cases were diagnosed as PE,and 5 were Mirror syndrome.Serious maternal complications occurred in all cases with either Mirror syndrome or PE. ConclusionsFetaland placental hydrops was closely related with maternal symptoms.Clinicians should be aware of this condition and detect Mirror syndrome in time so as to prevent its progress to PE.However,the pathogenic mechanism remains to be fully elucidated.More attention should be paid to both mothers and the hydrops fetalis.

Background and purpose:The mechanism of vinorelbine is inhibition of microtubule protein assembly and inducetion of the disaggreation of microtubles;where as docetaxed promotes the assembly of microtuble protein and inhibits normal physiological disaggreation of tubulin.We studied the curative effect and toxicity of combination of chemotherapy with navelbine(NVB) plus paclitaxel in the treatment of advanced breast cancer.Methods:Forty-two pathologically and cytologically proved cases of advanced breast cancer were treated with intravenous infusion of navelbine 25mg/m~2 on d1 and d8,paclitaxel 175mg/m~2 by 3-hour continuous infusion on d1.Interval between each cycle was 21 days and the clinical response and the toxicity were assessed after 2~4 cycles.Results:The overall response rate(RR) for the whole group of patients was 66.7% with 16.7% complete response(CR).In the first time chemotherapy patients,the RR was 72.2% with 27.2% CR;while in those with prior chemotherapy,an RR as high as 62.5% with 8.3% CR was also obtained.The 2-and 4-year survival rates was 40.5% and 21.4%,the median remission period was 8 months,the median overall survival duration was 18 months.The major side effects include leukopenia,hairloss,milieu phlebitis.Conclusions:The combination chemotherapy with navelbine and paclitaxel in treatment of advanced breast cancer is effective and the side effects could be tolerated.
