Objective: To explore the influence of traditional Chinese medicine injection adjuvant chemoradiotherapy on the quality of life of cancer patients. Methods: Totally 76 cases of cancer patients were selection from PLA 307 hospital and randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 38 ones in each group. The control group was given chemoradiation, and the observa-tion group was given Aidi injection or Shenqi Fuzheng injection intravenously additionally. The treatment course was 4 weeks. Before and after the treatment, cartesian score (KPS), simplified Chinese quality of life assessment (QLQ C30) were used to evaluate the quality of life. Results: After the treatment, the KPS was higher than that before the treatment, while QLQ C30 score decreased and was better than that in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The traditional Chinese medicine injection adjuvant chemoradio-therapy is more beneficial to the quality of life of cancer patients than chemoradiortherapy only.

OBJECTIVE To prepare Gambogic acid (GA) nanocapsules (GA-LNCs) and Neogambogic acid (NGA) nanocapsules(NGA-LNCs),and to evaluate their antidiabetic activities. METHODS Using water as the aqueous phase ,medium- chain triglyceride as the oil phase and polyethylene glycol monostearate as the surfactant ,GA-LNCs and NGA-LNCs were prepared by phase inversion method. Using entrapment efficiency and drug-loading amount as index ,the formulation technologies of above 2 nanocapsules were optimized by simplex lattice design. Its physical and chemical properties were investigated. The diabetic mice model was established. GA-LNCs and NGA-LNCs (1.92 and 2.42 mg/kg respectively )were given intragastrically ,once a day ,for consecutive 6 weeks. The fasting blood glucose of mice ,the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)were all detected. RESULTS The optimal formulation of 2 kinds of nanocapsules included 60% water,10% medium-chain triglyceride ,30% polyethylene glycol monostearate (total amount of the three was 2 g)and 35 mg GA or NGA . The encapsulation efficiencies of GA-LNCs and NGA-LNC obtained by the optimal formulation were (92.01±0.68)% and(93.12±2.11)%;the drug-loading amount were (0.99±0.21)% and(1.21±0.22)%, respectively. GA-LNCs and NGA-LNCs were yellow ,homogeneous and transparent liquid without precipitation. They were spherical in microscopic shape , and had obvious shell- Δ 基金项目:吉林省科技发展计划项目(No.20200404090YY);吉 membrane structure.
