Objective:To explore the clinical effect of lentinan injection combined with recombinant human endostatin in treatment of gastric cancer patients with abdominal cavity metastasis.Methods:A total of 80 gastric cancer patients with abdominal cavity metastasis were treated in the People's Hospital of Haian City in Jiangsu Province from January 2017 to December 2019 were selected. They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group according to the number table method, 40 cases in each group. The control group was given FOLFOX (oxalipatin + calcium leucovorin + fluorouracil) chemotherapy combined with recombinant human endostatin, and the observation group was in combination of lentinan injection on the basis of the control group. The short-term efficacy, tumor markers before and after treatment, immune function, angiogenesis related factors levels and adverse reactions of the two groups were analyzed.Results:After treatment, the short-term effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [67.5% (27/40) vs. 47.5% (19/40), χ2 = 4.256, P < 0.05]. The level of tumor markers like tumor supplied group of factors (TSGF), carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) of both groups after treatment was decreased compared with that before treatment; after treatment, the level of TSGF, CEA and CA72-4 in the observation group was lower than that in the control group [TSGF: (48.99±3.14) U/ml vs. (55.17±3.68) U/ml, t = -8.080, P < 0.01; CEA: (0.40±0.09) ng/ml vs. (0.47±0.10) ng/ml, t = -3.291, P = 0.002; CA72-4: (3.51±1.14) U/ml vs. (8.42±2.57) U/ml, t = -11.045, P < 0.01]. The proportion of CD3 +, CD4 +, and the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + of both groups after treatment was decreased compared with that before treatment. The proportion of CD3 +, CD4 +, and the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + in the observation group was higher than that in the control group after treatment [CD3 +: (38.53±5.12)% vs. (31.82±4.75)%, t = 6.076, P < 0.01; CD4 +: (25.36±4.39)% vs. (19.12±3.91)%, t = 6.713, P < 0.01; CD4 +/CD8 +: 1.05±0.24 vs. 0.83±0.19, t = 4.546, P < 0.01]. The level of angiogenesis-related factors like p53, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and transforming growth factor β 1 (TGF-β 1) of the two groups after treatment was decreased compared with that before treatment. The level of p53, VEGF, and TGF-β 1 in the observation group was lower than that in the control group after treatment [p53: (132.86±31.24) ng/L vs. (163.24±33.27) ng/L, t = -4.210, P < 0.01; VEGF: (425.23±36.79) ng/L vs. (673.57±63.28) ng/L, t = -21.458, P < 0.01; TGF-β 1: (35.87±4.03) ng/ml vs. (38.26±4.32) ng/ml, t = -2.559, P = 0.012]. The incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳadverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group [47.5% (19/40) vs. 62.5% (25/40), χ2 = 6.142, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Lentinan injection combined with recombinant human endostatin is safe and effective in treatment of gastric cancer patients with abdominal cavity metastasis, and it is worthy of clinical promotion.
