[Purpose]To evaluate the liver and kidney safety of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)compounds in the treatment of gastric cancer.[Methods]The clinical data of gastric cancer patients who attended in Longhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2012 to February 2022 were collected.The results of liver and renal func-tion tests were rated according to National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Ad-verse Events(NCI-CTCAE)V5.0.The patients were divided into 4 groups:TCM group,TCM+chemotherapy/targeted/antivascular therapy group,TCM+TCM preparation group and TCM+chemotherapy/targeted/antivascular therapy+TCM preparation group,and the effects of TCM on liver and renal functions were analyzed.[Results]A total of 7 943 patients were included in the analysis,of which 2 941 cases receiving TCM ≥12 months,1 468 months ≥36 months,and 687 months≥60 months.The highest incidence rate of liver function abnormality was 13.71%,the highest in-cidence rate of grade 3/4 abnormality was 2.58%;the highest incidence of creatinine abnormality was 2.32%,the highest incidence rate of grade 3/4 abnormality was 0.37%in patients with differ-ent duration of taking TCM.Most of liver and renal function abnormalities occurred in the early stage of drug taking.The incidence of liver and renal function abnormalities in the TCM group was lower than that of the other three groups.The incidence of grade 3/4 abnormality for direct biliru-bin(DBIL)in the TCM group was 0.14%,for aspartate transaminase(AST)was 0.11%,for alka-line phosphatase(ALP)was 0.16%,for alanine aminotransferase(ALT)was 0.06%and for total bilirubin(TBIL)was 0.07%,and there was no grade 3/4 creatinine abnormality observed.The ab-normal liver and renal function indexes were not increased with the increase of the length of herbal medicine taking.[Conclusion]The study shows that long term taking TCM drugs and stan-dardized prescriptions for gastric cancer patients are safe.

Objective To explore the value of clinical application of high intensity focused uitrasound (HIFU)supplementary treatment evaluated and instructed by immediate contrast-enhanced uitrasound for Drimary hepatic carcinoma.Methods Fifty-five cases(68 lesions)of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)were randomized into 2 groups,30 cases(38 lesions)in group A and 25 cases(30 lesions)in group B.Patients of group A were examined by contrast-enhanced ultrasound before and after therapy in 10 minutes.The lesions of incomplete deactivation were treated by HIFU in time.The treatment security and the therapeutic effects were observed by the clinical symptom,serum AFP and imaging appearance.The long-term therapeutic effects were judged by follow-up survival rate.Results Nineteen lesions in group A were found incomplete deactivation and run supplementary treatment in time.No serious complication was identified.The AFP descending rate was 86.7%(26/30)in group A,64.0%(16/25)in group B,respectively(P<0.05),and the lesions complete necrosis rate was 97.3%(37/38),60.0%(1 8/30),respectively(P<0.05).Half year survival rate was 100%in group A,90.0%ih grouD B(P<0.05),and 1 year survival rate was 76.0%,68.0%,respectively(P<0.05).Conclusions HIFU supplementary treatment evaluated and instructed by immediate contrast-enhanced ultrasound for primary hepatic carcinoma can help to destroy the lesions completely,alleviate the symptom,reduce recurrence,improve life quality,lengthen the lifcrime,and has the better clinical practice value.
