Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of lung cancer patients with axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM). Methods:The clinical data of 91 lung cancer patients with ALNM who were treated in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from January 1st, 2007 to December 31st, 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The relevance of the sites of the tumor site, local lymph node, and ax-illary lymph node was checked by contingency table. Survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by a log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards model was applied to analyze the prognostic factors. Results:The proportion of lung cancer pa-tients with ALNM was 0.63%, and the patients were often presented with adenocarcinoma, peripheral tumor type, pleura invasion with pleural effusion, or chest wall invasion. A relationship between tumor sites, local lymph node sites, and axillary lymph node sites was observed. The median survival time of lung cancer patients with ALNM was 19.02 months, and the two-year survival rate is 62.64%. Patients identified with ALNM at the initial diagnosis reported poor prognosis (P=0.002). Cox regression analysis showed that the relative risk of death in patients with ALNM at initial diagnosis was elevated 2.18 times (95%CI:1.330?3.572, P=0.003). Conclu-sion:ALNM in lung cancer is rare, and it may involve through direct chest wall invasion and spread from supraclavicular and mediasti-nal lymph node metastasis or systemic origin. Patients detected with ALNM at the initial diagnosis indicated poor prognosis.

In order to explore the dose-response patterns of Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) in Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Febrile Diseases), all prescriptions containing Gancao in Shanghan Lun were analyzed by frequency and hierarchical clustering analysis. The doses of Gancao used in Shanghan Lun ranged from six zhu (Chinese unit, and one zhu is equal to 0.65 g) to four liang (Chinese unit, and one liang is equal to 15.625 g). Doses of one, two, three or four liang were commonly used. One liang Gancao as juvantia was usually matched with Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae), Xingren (Semen Armeniacae) and Guizhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi) for restricting the excessive diaphoresis of Mahuang. Two liang Gancao was often matched with some couple drugs, such as Guizhi and Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae), Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) and Zhimu (Rhizoma Anemarrhenae), Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis) and Ganjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis), for warming yang to supplement qi, nourishing yin, detoxifying Fuzi, and preventing qi impairment from heat evil. Three liang Gancao was mainly matched with Banxia (Rhizoma Pinelliae) or Renshen (Radix Ginseng) for treating middle energizer emesis. Four liang Gancao was matched with Ganjiang or tonifying herbs for invigorating vital qi and relieving spasm in deficiency syndromes with contraction, palpitation or diarrhea. Gancao is used for treating many syndromes in Shanghan Lun. It is frequently used to treat excess or heat syndromes with one or two liang in a dose and deficiency or cold syndromes with three or four liang in a dose.
