ObjectivesTo compare clinical outcomes and safety of 5-Fu or capecitabine combined with oxaliplatin therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. MethodsLiterature search were performed by key words,such as metastatic colorectal cancer,capecitabine,oxaliplatin,5-Fu on all randomized controlled trails reported on 5-Fu or capecitabine combined with oxaliplatin therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer before Jun.2011.Two authors drew the details of trail design,characteristics of patients,outcomes and so on from the studies included. Data analysis was performed by RevMan 4.2. ResultsAccording to the same screening criteria,6 clinical studies were included in this Meta-analysis. Sample volume in this Meta-analysis was 2189 colorectal cancer cases.The baseline characteristics of 5-Fu group were similar to those of capecitabine group.The short-term outcome such as response rate,RR was 0.92 [95 %CI(0.82,1.02),P=0.12], and the long-term outcome such as median overall survival, median progression-free survival and the WMD was -0.19 [95 %CI(-0.73,0.35),P=0.49],-1.91 [95 %CI(-2.53,0.16),P=0.08],respectively,two groups weresimilar. In the comparison of Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade toxicity between the two groups, the incidences of neutropenic in 5-Fu group were higher than those in capecitabine group,and the RR was 0.24 [95 %CI(0.11,0.55), P=0.0007]. However, the incidence of wand-foot symptoms in 5-Fu group was lower than those in capecitabine group, the RR was 2.83 [95%CI (1.66,4.82), P=0.0001]. ConclusionBoth 5-Fu and capecitabine were similarly effective in the therapy of metastatic colorectal cancer. And the Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade toxicity such as neutropenic was easier to happen in 5-Fu group,while the incidence of hand-foot symptoms was on the other hand.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical significance of lymph node metastasis in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).Methods A literature search to identify studies relating to GIST cases reported between January 1998 and December 2010 was conducted.The associations between lymph node metastasis and GIST clinicopathological features, gene expression, GIST stage, and GIST prognosis were evaluated.Results 6063 literatures were screened and only 16 GIST patients (median age of 49.25 years,10females) with lymph node metastasis were enrolled in this study.Among them,12 tumors were located in the stomach, 3 in the small intestine, and 1 in the esophagus.Morphologically, 13 specimens were mainly characterized by spindle cells.Gene analysis was examined in 7 cases.Conclusions Lymph node metastasis in GIST might more frequently found in the stomach, tumor stage of high grade, and cellular morphology of spindle-shaped.Gene mutation may have a relationship with lymph node metastasis.However, its clinical significance remains unclear.

OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single dose of intramuscularly injected methotrexate(MTX)in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy so as to provide theoretical bases for the choice dosage regimen.METHODS:Serum concentration of MTX in 8 cases with ectopic pregnancy were determined by fluorescence polarization immunoassay after injected i.m with single dose MTX(50mg/m2);The ?-HCG was monitored both before and after treatment and the lump sizes of the ectopic pregnancy were determined by B ultrasound.RESULTS:The pharmacokinetics of single dose of intramuscularly injected MTX conformed to two-compartment open model;Cmax occurred at 1.9h after drug taking with 2.31 ?mol/L;The time for the recovery of ?-HCG to normal was(24.8?10)days,the patency rate of oviducts of those who demanding procreation was 75%.CONCLUSION:Injection intramuscularly with single dose of MTX 50mg/m2 is effective in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy.

Objective To explore the CT, MRI?PET features of Heroin Spongiform Leukoencephalopathy (HSLE).Methods CT and MRI of 29 patients, and PET of 4 patients were analysed.Results 1.CT and MRI showed extensive and symmetric lesions in white matters of bilateral cerebellum,posterior crus of internal capsule and parieto occipital region;2.Cerebral CT showed hypodense areas, MRI showed corresponding areas with decreased signal intensity on T1 weighted images and increased signal intensity on T2 weighted images, no edema, FLAIR and enhancing scan showed no destruction of brain blood barrier, PET imaging showed hypometabolism or non metabolism changes in corresponding areas; 3. PET imaging showed non metabolism areas in untreated patients' posterior limb of internal capsule, parietooccipital lobes and cerebellum, and the metabolism in corresponding areas of improved patients was low obviously; 4.PET imaging showed hypometabolism in grey matter of untreated and improved patients, and the metabolism in the grey matter remarkable improved patient was normal.Conclusion CT and MRI changes of HSLE sufferers almost limited in brain white matters, PET imaging showed hypometabolism or non metabolism changes in corresponding areas, the metabolism improvement in grey and white matters was very important to the improvement of HSLE sufferers, PET was more appropriate than MRI to the prognoses of HSLE sufferers.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of Shen-reinforcing and menstrual cycle-regulating therapy (SRMCRT) combined with Western medicine (WM) in treating decline in ovarian reserve (DOR).
METHODSTotally 78 patients with DOR were assigned to the traditional Chinese medicine combined WM group (abbreviated as IM group, 40 cases), and the WM group (38 cases) according to random digit table method. Patients in the WM group were treated with hormone replacement therapy, while those in the IM group additionally received SRMCRT. The therapeutic course for all was 3 consecutive months. The therapeutic efficacy was compared between the two groups. The serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), FSH/luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2), as well as the development of sinus follicles were compared between before and after treatment in the two groups.
RESULTSThe therapeutic effective rate was 92.5% in the IM group, higher than that of the WM group (73.68%, P < 0.05). The serum levels of FSH, FSH/LH, and E2 decreased (P < 0.05) and the number of the sinus follicle increased (P < 0.05) in the two groups after treatment. Besides, IM was superior in decreasing serum levels of FSH and FSH/LH, and increasing the number of the sinus follicle (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSSRMCRT was an effective method for treating ROD. IM was superior in decreasing serum levels of FSH and FSH/LH, and increasing the number of the sinus follicle.
