OBJECTIVE:To evaluate therapuetic efficacy and toxic reaction of 2 therapuetic regimens for 56 cases of bone me-tastasis of cervical cancer. METHODS:56 cases of bone metastasis of cervical cancer with complete information were collected ret-rospectively and randomly divided into radiochemotherapy group(31 cases)and diphosphonate group(25 cases). Radiochemothera-py group was given radiotherapy,chemotherapy and diphosphonate;diphosphonate group was given palliative symptomatic treat-ment of diphosphonate;a treatment course lasted for 3-4 weeks,and both groups received 3 courses of treatment. Average survival time,survival quality and toxic reaction were comparison in 2 groups. RESULTS:After bone metastasis of cervical cancer,the av-erage survival time of radiochemotherapy group was 17 months (95%CI:9.1-24.9),and that of diphosphonate group was 19 months (95%CI:2.4-35.6);3 years later,the survival rate of radiochemotherapy group was 16.1%,and that of diphosphonate group was 16.0%,there was no statistical significance(P=0.820). To compared KPS after 3 treatment courses,the improvement rate of radiochemotherapy group(22.6%)was significantly lower than that of diphosphonate group(40.0%),with statistical signif-icance (χ2=4.36,P<0.05). Toxic reaction of radiochemotherapy group was more significant than that of diphosphonate group. CONCLUSIONS:Diphosphonate has little effect on survial quality and slight toxic reaction. It is worthy of spreading in some pa-tients with advanced,elderly and reccurred bone metastasis of cervical cancer.

Objective To study the value of St George's respiratory questionaire(SGRQ)in evaluating the life quality of community patients with COPD.Methods The SGRQ score,PEF% were collected from 35 patient with COPD.Paired t test was performed to evaluate the sensitivity of SGRQ to changes of disease severity.Correla- tion coefficients were calculated to evaluate the validity.Results Three parts of the SGRQ score and the total score were significantly correlated with the changes of SGRQ(P＜0.001),SGRQ was more sensitive than PEF in evalu- ating the changes of disease severity.The three part of the scale and the total scale were significantly correlated with PEF%.Conclusion SGRQ is a valid,sensitive and feasible method in measuring the quality of life in community patients with COPD.

Objective To evaluate and compare the therapeutic effects of the open prostatectomy(OP)?transurethral electrovaporization ablation prostatectomy (TUEVAP) and interstitial laser coagulation(ILC) for the treatments of symptomatic BPH. Methods 282 symptomatic BPH patients randomly underwent OP (n=98)?TUEVAP(n=91) or ILC(n=93) respectively and the therapeutic effects were evaluated. Results There are significant improvements in symptoms and physical signs in each group after the procedure.The average catheterization time following OP?TUEVAP and ILC was 185 h?76 h and 362 h,the immediate morbidity rate being 28.9%?16.7%? 14.8 % and the retreatment rate 1.0%?6.6% and 16.1% respectively. OP group showed the longest average operative time and the most blood loss both of which were the least in ILC group. Conclusions OP is the most effective of the three procedures, but the trauma to the patient is the most.The therapeutic effect of TUEVAP is similar to OP's,with less injure.ILC is the easiest and safest procedure with the least side effects.

Objective To investigate the chemical constituents of Balanophora simaoensis. Methods Chromatography and spectra were used to isolate the constituents and elucidate their structures. Results Four compounds were isolated from whole plant of B. simaoensis and elucidated as methylconiferin (Ⅰ), butylconiferin (Ⅱ), 4-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl confieryl aldehyde (Ⅲ), and brevifolin (Ⅳ), respectively. Conclusion Butylconiferin is a new compound.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of acupuncture combined with massage on shoulder subluxation and motor function recovery of the upper extremities in patients with hemiplegia after stroke.Methods60 hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into two groups for treatment with acupuncture cooperates with massage or usual rehabilition, respectively. The recovery of the patient's shoulder subluxation and movement function of upper extremities were evaluated 2 months after treatment. ResultsThe shoulder subluxation and movement function of the upper extremities were improved after treatment with both therapies (P<0.01), and acupuncture cooperates with massage showed better effect (P<0.01). ConclusionAcupuncture cooperates with massage can facilitate the recovery of shoulder subluxation and motor function of the upper extremities after hemiplegia.

Background Excimer laser corneal refractive surgery is widely used because it reduces the dependency of refractive error eye to glasses.However,the adverse effects of anti-inflammatory drugs is a problem after operation.Lotemax eyedrops is a kind of steroidal anti-inflammatory drug,with a good effect on the operative eye.But its influence on intraocular pressure(IOP) after long-term topical administration is less studied.Objective This study was to investigate the influence of lotemax eyedrops on IOP after long-term topical administration in myopic eyes received excimer laser corneal refractive surgery.Methods An one-month retrospective case serial study was adopted.The case history data of 1552 eyes from 1552 Patients who received excimer laser corneal refractive surgery were collected in Tangshan Eye Hospital from 2011 January to 2012 January,including 321 eyes with laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK),608 eyes with sub-Bowman keratomileusis (SBK) and 623 eyes with femtosecond laser for flap excimer laser in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK).Lotemax eyedrops was topically administered after operation 4 times per day initial and then decreased 1 time weekly for 1 month.IOP was measured in before,1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks,4 weeks after operation with non-contact tonometer.The increasing range of IOP was divided into ＜5 mmHg,5-15 mmHg and ＞ 15 mmHg after operation.Optical head parameters were measured by Heidelberg retina tomography when IOP increasing after operation.Results Within 1 month,elevated IOP was found in 47 of 1552 eyes after administration of lotemax eyedrops,including 3.12％ (10/321) in the LASIK group,3.29％ (20/608) in the SBK group and 2.73％ (17/623) in the FS-LASIK group,without significant difference among them(x2 =1.95,P＞0.05).The IOP elevated 1 week after operation and remained normal after that till drug withdrawal in all eyes.There were no significant differences in the disk area (1.65 ±0.44) mm2 vs.(1.66 ±0.44) mm2,disk volume (0.40 ±0.09)mm3 vs.(0.39±0.08) mm3 and mean nerve fiber layer thickness (0.28 ± 0.08) mm vs.(0.29 ± 0.07) mm in IOP elevation duration compared with 1 month after IOP recovery(t =0.34,0.81,0.48,P＞0.05).Conclusions Topical administration of 0.5％ lotemax eyedrops after excimer laser corneal refractive surgery leads to reversible high IOP.It is very important to monitor the IOP during use of the drug.

Objective To investigate the expression profile and biological function of lncRNAs in urothelial cancer stem cells and explore whether they can be biomarkers for prediction of clinical characteristics for bladder cancer patients.Methods Microarray analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs in cancer stem cells and parental cancer cells.Expression profiles were validated by Coding Potential Caculator analysis,real-time polymerase chain reaction.By performing in vitro sphere formation assays,J82 cells with lentivirus-based knockdown of lncRNA-BCSC (bladder cancer stem cells) were used to confirmed its function.Samples were obtained from patients who underwent TURBT between January 2009 and December 2012.All tissues were initially confirmed by pathologists.The association of the clinicpathologic of bladder cancer and lncRNA-BCSC expression was analyzed by x2 analysis.Results 750 lncRNAs were highly expressed from microarray analysis in bladder cancer stem cells.Among these,lncRNA-BCSC was identified as potentially maintaining self-renewal of cancer stem cells.Knockdown of this transcript in J82 cells inhibited spheroid formation.lncRNA-BCSC expression were higher in 54.8％ (57/104) bladder cancer tissues.Moreover,using x2 analysis,lncRNA-BCSC expression in primary tumors was found to be a predictor for recurrence following transurethral resection in patients with nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (P =0.009).Conclusions Our study provides strong evidence that lncRNA-BCSC are indispensable modulators of self-renewal ability of bladder cancer stem cells.Overexpression of lncRNA-BCSC may have a predictive value for early recurrence in patients suffering from nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer.
