The therapy of removing beat and toxic,strengthening the body to cultivate the fundamental is the mainstream of treating cancer in traditional Chinese medicine up to now,and the therapy of warming yang has been rarely involved.While the pathogenesis of tumor is spleen and kidney yang deficiency in root,and phlegm,stasis,and poison entangled with each other at the secondary position; the main therapeutical principle of tumor is simultaneous application of purging-tonifying therapy while focusing on protecting yang.The author believes that the treatment of cancer should pay attention to the whole concept,especially warming yang for patients with advanced tumors.The therapy of warming yang is an effective way to get rid of phlegm and blood stasis.Patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be paid more attention to warming yang.

Renal cancer is a common malignant tumor in urology, with complicated pathogenesis and no obvious clinical symptoms. Metastatic renal cancer accounts for 20%-30% of the newly diagnosed renal cancer. The 5-year survival rate for metastatic patients is less than 10%.At present, the main non-surgical treatment means of mRCC include cytokines and targeted drug therapy, and immunotherapy has also become a research hotspot of mRCC. The current status and research progress of mRCC therapy were reviewed. The medical treatment methods of metastatic renal cancer, such as receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors and mTOR inhibitors; immunotherapies, such as immunosuppressants for PD-1/PD-L1 were also discussed.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of amiodarone in preventing reperfusion ventricular fibrillation (RVF) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.Methods:This study searched the databases of CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Knowledge and PubMed, and searched the related research of amiodarone to prevent RVF in cardiac surgery patients, the time was until December 2019. Meta analysis was performed using Revman 5.3 software according to established standards.Results:The study included six studies (incorporating 514 patients). According to different intervention methods, 514 patients were divided into three groups, 196 in the amiodarone group, 153 in the lidocaine group, and 165 in the placebo group. The incidence of RVF was significantly lower in the amiodarone group than in the control group ( RR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.47-0.86, P=0.003, I2=49%), but there was no significant difference between the amiodarone group and the lidocaine group( RR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.48-2.22, P=0.94, I2=74%). Compared with the control group, amiodarone reduced the defibrillation frequency of RVF, but the difference was not statistically significant ( RR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.68-1.20, P=0.48, I2=0). There was no difference in the number of defibrillation of RVF between the lidocaine group and the amiodarone groups ( RR: 1.50, 95% CI: 0.90-2.52, P=0.12, I2=38%). Conclusion:Compared with the control group, amiodarone can significantly reduce the incidence of RVF in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Objective To explore the protective role and mechanisms of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) on advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs)-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. Methods The H9C2 cells were selected in this study and divided into blank control group,RSA control group,and groups treated with indicated concentrations of AOPPs with or without GLP-1,and AOPPs +GLP-1+LY294002 for 24 hours respectively. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. The ROS level was detected by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe. The cell apoptosis was tested by fluorescent staining and flow cytometry. The expression of p-Akt,p-Bad,Bcl-2,Bax,and active-caspase-3 proteins were evaluated by Western blot. Results GLP-1 attenuated AOPPs-induced cytotoxicity[(0.929±0.083) vs (1.409±0.099),P<0.01],decreased AOPPs-induced ROS[(47.817±0.878)% vs (25.413±2.597)%,P<0.01] and apoptosis[(15.773±3.130)% vs (9.715±0.757)%,P<0.01]. GLP-1 improved AOPPs-induced phosphorylation of Akt and Bad,increased the expression of Bcl-2,and decreased the expression of Bax and the activation of caspase-3. Conclusion GLP-1 protects cardiomyocytes against AOPP-induced apoptosis,predominantly via the PI3K/Akt/Bad pathway.

Objective To investigate the expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAchR) subunits, and the effects of smoking on its expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Methods Blood was collected from 92 healthy male smokers and 36 healthy male non-smokers. Peripheral blood monocytic cells were obtained, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was employed to study the gene expression of 11 nAchR subunits (?2-?7, ?9, ?10, ?2-?4). Results The results showed that the PBMCs of smokers and non-smokers appeared to express ?2, ?5, ?6 and ?7 only out of 11 nAchR subunits. However, the expression of ?5 and ?7 subunits was lower in smokers′ PBMCs than in non-smokers′ (P

[Objective]To evaluate diagnostic and the therapeutic options of osteoid osteoma of the spine associated with scoliosis. [Methods]Nine patients with osteoid osteoma of the spine were treated from 1997 to 2006.All patients presented with spine deformity as their main complaint at the first consultation.The mean age was 15.2 years (range 8-21 years).Two patients had their osteoid osteoma in the thoracic area,2 in the thorcolumbar area ,and 5 in the lumbar area.Three were well controlled after long term administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,and the other 6 were treated with en bloc excision.[Results]All the 6 patients with en bloc excision of the tumor were pain-free post-operatively.The scoliotic curve disappeared or was less than 15 degrees in 5,but the structural curve persisted in 4.[Conclusion]The spinal osteoid osteoma should be suspected when back pain or painful scoliosis occurs in adolescents.Computed tomography is necessary to evaluate the location and features of the lesion.En bloc excision of the tumor can be suggested if the symptoms are not well relieved with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
