Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy(HCT)compared with chemotherapy (CT)for ovarian cancer. Methods Related literatures were searched by two independent investigators from the following electronic databases:PubMed,Cochrane Library,EMbase,VIP,WanFang Data,CNKI and CBM.Then the meta?analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 10 RCTs involving 546 patients were included. The results of Meta?analysis showed that the HCT group was superior to the CT group in the effective rate,tumor control rate,effective rate of CA125,ascites control rate and PD,with significant differences(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the improvement rate of life quality and the incidences of myelosuppression,severe myelosuppression,severe nausea and vomiting,severe constipation and diarrhea,liver and renal damage(P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with CT,HCT can significantly increase short?term curative effect,ameliorate the quality of life,and it does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions. HCT is worthy of clinical applica?tion.

Objective To explore the expressions of c-Met and c-Src in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and its relationship with clinical pathological characters and prognosis. Methods The c-Met and c-Src expressions were detected by immunohistochemistry in 88 patients with NSCLC from April 2011 to January 2013. The relationship between the expressions of c-Met and c-Src and clinical pathological features and prognosis were analyzed. Results The c-Met and c-Src were all significantly expressed in NSCLC tissues, and no expression showed in interstitial and normal lung tissues. The expressions of c-Met and c-Src in patients with NSCLC were associated with sex, differentiation, pathology type, T staging and TNM staging (P<0.05 or <0.01); and the expression of c-Met was associated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). The expressions of c-Met and c-Src in patients with NSCLC were not associated with age, and the expression of c-Src was not associated with lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis result showed that the expressions of c-Met and c-Src in lung cancer tissues was positive correlation (r=0.662, P<0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed that the disease free survival time (DFS) and overall survival time (OS) in c-Met high expression patients (51 cases) were significantly shorter than those in c-Met low expression patients (37 cases): (18.08 ± 1.34) months vs. (23.76 ± 1.79) months and (33.63 ± 1.95) months vs. (42.24 ± 2.68) months, the DFS and OS in c-Src high expression patients (25 cases) were significantly shorter than those in c-Src low expression patients (63 cases): (16.96 ± 2.56) months vs. (21.86 ± 1.15) months and (27.84 ± 2.89) months vs. (40.98 ± 1.81) months, the DFS and OS in both c-Met and c-Src high expression patients (25 cases) were significantly shorter than those in both c-Met and c-Src low expression patients (37 cases): (16.96 ± 2.56) months vs. (23.76 ± 1.79) months and (27.84 ± 2.89) months vs. (42.24 ± 2.68) months, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Cox multiplicity result showed that T staging (RR=2.174, 95%CI 1.354 to 3.490, P=0.001) and high expressions of c-Met and c-Src (RR=1.447, 95%CI 1.114 to 1.880, P=0.006) were the independent risk factors of DFS in patients with NSCLC;pathology type (RR=0.610, 95%CI 0.377 to 0.986, P=0.044), T staging (RR=2.215, 95%CI 1.357 to 3.616, P=0.001) and high expressions of c-Met and c-Src (RR=1.979, 95%CI 1.455 to 2.692, P = 0.000) were the independent risk factors of OS in patients with NSCLC. Conclusions The c-Met and c-Src are involved in the development of NSCLC and affect the prognosis of patients with NSCLC.
