Objective To analysis the effect of paclitaxel on CEA, CA19-9 and CA72-4 levels in patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods46 patients who were diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer in Pinghu hospital of traditional Chinese medicine were collected.All patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,23 cases in each group.The control group was treated with cis-platinum complexes and capecitabine, and the experimental group was treated with paclitaxel and capecitabine, after the treatment, the serum levels of CEA, CA19-9, CA72-4, vascular endothelial growth factor, endostatin and clinical curative effect were detected in all patients.ResultsAfter treatment, compared with control group,①the serum level of CEA was lower in the experimental group (P<0.05);②the serum level of CA19-9 and CA72-4 were lower in the experimental group (P<0.05);③the serum level of VEGF was lower in the experimental group (P<0.05);④the serum level of Endostatin was higher in the experimental group (P<0.05);⑤The clinical efficiency of the experimental group was higher(P<0.05).ConclusionsThe paclitaxel can significantly reduce the serumCEA, CA19-9, CA72-4 and VEGF levels, elevated serum Endostatin level in patients with advanced gastric cancer, improve the treatment effect, and have a guiding significance for clinica.

Juvenile retinoschisis (RS or XLRS,MIM#312700)is a rare X-linked inherited disorder,mainly affects bilateral retina,and is characterized by cartwheel-like changes of the macular region of the retina and schisis or splitting within the inner retinal layers,leading to visual deterioration.The electroretinogram is beneficial in the diagnosis of juvenile retinoschisis.The a-wave can be of normal or nearly normal amplitude in this disorder,whereas the amplitude of the b-wave is appreciably reduced,giving a decrease in the proportion of b/a.The responsible gene,XLRSl,maps to Xp22 and was identified by positional cloning.This paper makes a brief review about the latest XLRS research of pathogenesis,animal experiments,clinical therapy,and 25 references are cited.

Pharmacometabonomics, as an emerging branch of system biology, has been increasingly used in personalized medicine and showed broad prospects. By means of metabonomics, the complicated and detailed metabolic profile of the patient is described, thus providing more detailed description of the disease phenotype. With this understanding, response of different individuals to the drugs are predicted or evaluated through inherent genetic information of the individual combined with the environmental factors. As a result, appropriate drugs and dosage are chosen, which greatly promotes the realization of the individualized therapy goals. This article describes the emerging field of pharmacometabonomics, and the research results of personalized medicine based on the pharmacometabonomics in recent years are reviewed in detail.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatic pedicle lesioning in combination with hepatic artery clamping for precise liver resection by establishing a model of precise liver resection in animals. Methods Six healthy Guangxi Bama miniature pigs were selected for this study, and S3, S5 and S6 used as target hepatic segments. The hepatic pedicles were lesioned by radioablation under ultrasound guidance. The hepatic artery was clamped temporarily at the time of radioablation. Three segments (S3, S5 and S6) were resected on each pig. The main outcome measures included the local and general tolerance, the change of blood flow parameters of each segmental arterial and portal branches, and the microscopic appearance of the segmental arterial, portal and biliary tract branches. ResultsThere was no any complication or death following RFA application, and the liver function was restored to normal 14 days after the operation in all animals. Demarcation areas were clear in all target hepatic segments. The blood flow velocity of the portal branches was 0cm/s in all the target hepatic segments after RFA. The arterial blood flow velocity was 15.1± 15.4cm/s, which was significantly lower compared with that before RFA (P>0.000). There was no difference in the flow rate of the unaffected segmental vessels following RFA. The mean ablated length of segmental portal, arterial and biliary tract branches was 1.7± 0.5cm, 1.4± 0.4cm, 1.6± 0.4cm, respectively. ConclusionsThe technique is expedient, safe and effective. Simultaneous temporary occlusion of the hepatic artery adds further benefit. The probe needs to be at least 1.5cm away from non targeted structures to avoid unintended thermal injury.

Objective To determine the effect of walking in water on patients with spinal cord injury~SCI). Methods Twenty SCI patients were recruited in this study, and these patients were randomly divided into a control group ~10 cases) and an experiment group~10 cases).The patients of the experiment group were administered aqua-walking and conventional physical therapy~PT),and the patients of control group were administered the conventional PT only. Results After 10 weeks of therapy, the muscle tone, motor index score and functional ambulation classification of experiment group were ameliorated significantly in comparison with the control group(P

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of the canalith repositioning maneuver to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods Epley maneuver, Barbecue rotation and Semont maneuver were applied to twelve cases of BPPV. Results Positional vertigo in all subjects disappeared completely 48 hours later by treatment with manipulative reduction, and no obvious adverse reaction was found. There was no recurrence during a follow up from 3 to 11 months.Conclusion The canalith repositioning maneuver is effective, simple and safe for the patients with BPPV and may be recommended as the first-selected treatment modality.
