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 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.

Objective to investigate the effect of berberine on the expression of AQP4 and neuronal injury after focal cerebral ischemia in diabetic rats. Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:control(sham surgery),middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R),MCAO/R treated with vehicle(DMSO),MCAO/R treated with berberine. the transient focal ischemia/reperfusion was induced by in-troducing silicone-coated monofilament nylon suture from the right external carotid artery into the origin of the middle cerebral artery,which was re-moved after 60 min. In group treated with berberine,the rats were injected with berberine before and after suffered from cerebral ischemia. Similarly, in group vehicle,the animals received DMSO vehicle at the same time. the score of neurological behavior was evaluated 24 h after reperfusion. Mean-while,the rats were sacrificed for Nissl staining. to estimate cerebral edema,the wet-dry ratio was measured. the expression of AQP4 in the border of the infarct region in different groups was observed by Western blot. Results Compared with the model group,berberine improved neurological deficits(P < 0.05). Berberine treatment inhibited the neuronal deformation shown by Nissl staining(P < 0.05). Berberine significantly decreased the wet-dry ratio and reduced the expression of AQP4(P < 0.05). Conclusion these results suggested that berberine could induce neuroprotection against ischemic injury by inhibiting the expression of AQP4 in diabetic rats.
