Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of disodium cantharidinate injection combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) compared with TCAE alone in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) by meta-analysis.Methods Databases of Pubmed, CNKI,Wangfang and VIP were searched electronically, and the randomized controlled trials about disodium cantharidinate injection combined with TACE in the treatment of HCC were included.Meta-analyses were conducted after the quality of the included studies was assessed.Results Seven eligible studies that included a total of 562 HCC patients were identified in the present meta-analysis.The combined results showed that disodium cantharidinate injection combined with TACE in the treatment of HCC, compared with TACE alone, could increase effective rate ( RR =1.31, 95%CI 1.10-1.56) and clinical benefit rate (RR =1.20, 95%CI 1.04 -1.39), improve the life quality (RR =1.60, 95%CI 1.26 -2.03) and improved the 1, 2 year survival (RR =1.57 with 95%CI 1.28 -1.93 and RR =2.08 with 95%CI 1.46 -2.97, respectively).Conclusion Meta-analysis indicates that the efficacy of disodium cantharidinate injection combined with TACE is superior to TACE alone for the patients with HCC.

Objective To investigate the expression changes of the protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor T (PTPRT) in temporal lobe epileptic foci in the experimental animals and epileptic patients and the relationship between PTPRT and epileptogenesis.Methods After getting the epilepsy lobe tissue from the experimental and control groups,immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis were used to assess the expression of PTPRT and its changes.Results In the temporal lobe tissue of intractable patients and control group,PTPRT was mainly expressed in the neurons.PTPRT was significantly increased in patients with intractable epilepsy (0.277 ± 0.048) than that in the control group(0.171 ±0.025 ; t =9.586,P < 0.05).PTPRT was mainly expressed in the neurons in the temporal lobe brain tissue of the rats in the control group and experimental group.Compared with control group,the expression of PTPRT in the temporal lobe tissue was increased within 24 h post-seizure,and decreased 1 and 2 weeks post-seizure,then it was increased 1 and 2 months post-seizure (A ratio:control 0.443 ± 0.039,6 h 0.840±0.032,24 h 1.113 ±0.064,7 d 0.564 ±0.039,14 d 0.570 ±0.029,30 d 0.899 ±0.034,60 d 1.011 ± 0.074,F =256.427,P < 0.05).Conclusions Through researches into the expression and function of PTPRT in the temporal lobe brain tissue of patients with intractable epilepsy and animal models,we presume that the PTPRT plays a role in the synapses reorganization and mossy fiber sprouting,and participates in the reconstruction of the neural network which leads to the intractable epilepsy.

With the development of natural products, the research activities on the solubilization methods of water-insoluble natural products have been carried out worldwide. Big molecular weight and poor solubility of most natural active ingredients lead to a very poor oral absorption and low bioavailability, which has extremely limited their development in pharmaceutical fields and clinical application. As a result, it is necessary to find out a suitable technique to improve the solubility and enhance the oral bioavailability of insoluble natural drugs. Based on the related references published in these years, this review introduced some new techniques to improve the solubility and bioavailability of natural drugs, including prodrugs, inclusion complex, solid dispersion, cocrystals, osmotic pump, liquisolid compacts, micronization, self-microemulsifying, nanosuspensions, lipsomes, polymeric micelles and so on, and summarized the theory, characteristics, application range, application examples, problems and development direction of each technique.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of docetaxel combined with psychological intervention in elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Methods the control group received docetaxel chemotherapy, and the study group received psychological intervention on the basis of docetaxel chemotherapy. The efficacy, adverse reactions and adverse emotions of two groups of elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer were recorded. Results the total efficiency was up to 54.17%, only 41.67% of the control group (P<0.05); toxic and side effects in the research group alopecia, gastrointestinal reaction, rash was significantly lower than the control group did not received psychological intervention (P<0.05); the control group after treatment SAS, SDS score increased than before more than the study group (P<0.05). Conclusion On the basis of docetaxel in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, the use of appropriate psychological intervention measures can significantly alleviate the negative emotions, and have positive significance to ensure the effectiveness and safety of chemotherapy.
