Objective:To assess the effectiveness and safety of radiotherapy combined with surgery for gastric cancer compared with single surgery. Methods:We retrieved relevant randomized controlled trails in Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2009), PubMed (Jan 1966-Jun 2009), EMBASE (Jan 1974-Jun 2009), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (Jan 1978-Jun 2009), Chinese Science and Technology Periodicals Database (Jan 1989-Jun 2009) ,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (Jan 1994 to Jun 2009) and Wanfang database (Jan 1997-Jun 2009). Two researchers assessed the quality of included randomized controlled trials (RCT) and extracted data independently. The RevMan 5.0 software was used for Meta-analysis. Results:Nine RCTs including 1 548 patients were selected for Meta analysis. Five RCTs were related with comparison of preoperative radiotherapy plus surgery with single surgery. Two RCTs were about the comparison of surgery plus perioperative radiotherapy with single surgery. Two RCTs were the comparative studies between surgery plus postoperative radiotherapy and single surgery. The Meta analysis results showed that: (1)compared with surgery alone, preoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery can increase 3 years [OR = 1.78, 95% confidence interal (CI):1.14-2.78], 5 years (OR = 1.67, 95%CI :1.22-2.29),and 10 years (OR = 1.64, 95%CI 1.03-2.60) survival rate,and reduce the tumor recurrent rate(OR = 0.59, 95%CI :0.37-0.92) and metastasis rate (OR= 0.44, 95%CI :0.27-0.73); (2) The tumor recurrent rates (OR = 0.19,95%CI :0.03-1.14 )and tumor metastasis rates (OR = 0.09, 95%CI :0.00-1.77)had no difference between single surgery group and peri-operative radiotherapy plus surgery group;(3) Postoperative radiotherapy compared with surgery had no significant effects on 1 year (OR = 0.83, 95%CI :0.60-1.15) and 3 years (OR = 0.75, 95%CI :0.51-1.11) survival rate compared with single surgery, but the 5 years (OR = 0.57,95%CI :0.34-0.95) survival rate of the patients who received surgery alone was higher than those who received combined therapy. No difference of the tumor recurrence rate(OR=0.59,95%CI :0.33-1.05) and tumor metastasis rate (OR=0.90,95%CI:0.51-1.59) were observed between the two groups. Conclusion:Preoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery is more rational and effective than surgery alone in the treatment of gastric cancer. However in terms of the clinical effects of perioperative or postoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery, more RCTs with larger samples and higher quality need to be carried out to make further verification.

Objective To investigate the effect of gabapentin on the activation of glial cells in the spinal cord after chronic constrictive injury (CCI) to sciatic nerve in rats.Methods Twenty-four male SD rats weighing 180-220 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 8 each): group Ⅰ sham operation (group S), group Ⅱ CCI and group Ⅲ gabapentin + CCI. Right sciatic nerve was exposed and 4 loose ligatures were placed with 6-0chromic catgut. Seven days after operation gabapentin 50 mg/kg in 5 ml was given by intragastric gavage twice a day for 5 days in group Ⅲ. Paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulation with von Frey filaments was measured one day before (baseline) and at 7, 15 d after operation. The animals were killed at 15 d after operation. The lumbar segment L4-5 of the spinal cord was removed. Immunohistochemical double mark technique was used to detect the activation of astrocytes and microglias in the spinal cord. Results Paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulation was significantly decreased on the 7th and 15th day after CCI operation in group CCI as compared with group S. After 5 day treatment with gabapentin, the withdrawal threshold to von Frey hair stimulation was significantly higher in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅱ . The activation of astrocytes and microglias in the spinal cord was significantly enhanced in group CCI as compared with group S. Treatment with gabapentin significantly inhibited CCI-induced activation of astrocytes and microglias in the spinal cord. ConclusionGabapentin reduces neuropathic pain by inhibiting activation of glial cells in the spinal cord.

BACKGROUND:Apoptosis of chondrocytes eventualy leads to osteoarthritis. New studies find many mechanisms of chondrocyte apoptosis, but the mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced chondrocyte apoptosis is stil in the first stage. OBJECTIVE: To review how the endoplasmic reticulum stress causes the chondrocyte apoptosis and to explore a new method of treatment for osteoarthritis. METHODS: A computer-based online search of PubMed database, CNKI database and Wangfang database between January 2000 and January 2015 was performed to search related articles with the key words of “endoplasmic reticulum stress, chondrocyte, apoptosis” in English or in Chinese, respectively. The word “AND” was used for the connection between the word retrieval. Literatures related to osteoarthritis were selected; the articles published lately in authoritative journals were preferred. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 62 literatures were primarily selected, and 57 documents were involved in result analysis according to inclusion criteria. PERK, IRE1 and ATF6 play an important role in the chondrocytes. Endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis mechanisms include two kinds, UPR and Ca2+start signal, but the specific mechanism and the interactions between apoptosis pathway are unclear. Inhibitory molecules for chondrocyte apoptosis in these signaling pathways as treatment targets for osteoarthritis may provide new methods for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
