Methods: A total of 92 cases of breast cancer treated by modified radical mastectomy in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 were selected as the research subjects and were randomly divided into 46 cases in the observation group and 46 cases in the control group. The patients in the control group began chemotherapy after 2 weeks of surgery, and the observation group was given Shenqi Fuzheng Injection on the basis of the control group. The levels of leukocyte, platelet, hemoglobin, T cell subgroup, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen 153 (CA153) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) were measured and compared of patients in two groups. Results: Before treatment, there was no significant difference in white blood cell, platelet and hemoglobin between the two groups. After treatment, the white blood cells, platelets and hemoglobin in the observation group were (3.56±0.10)×109/L, (137.47±23.58)×109/L, (116.72±15.75) g/L, and the white cells, platelets and hemoglobin in the control group were (2.85±0.18)×109/L, (126.76±21.34)×109/L, (103.36±20.51) g/L, respectively, all the indexes decreased than before treatment, moreover the decrease of control group is more obvious than observation group, and the difference was statistically significant. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in CD3+, CD4+, CD8+and CD4+/CD8+between the two groups. After treatment, the CD3+, CD4+and CD4+/CD8+in the observation group were (58.02±12.77)%, (50.79±7.45)% and (2.13±0.69), which were significantly higher than those before the treatment, and increased compared with the control group in the corresponding period, the difference was statistically significant. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in CEA, CA153 and CA125 between the two groups. After treatment, the CEA, CA153 and CA125 of the observation group were (16.70±3.71) μg/L, (13.11±3.70) U/mL and (11.25±1.73) U/mL, and in the control group they were (21.71±4.24) μg/L, (20.31±4.21) U/mL and (17.78±2.36) U/mL, respectively, the CEA, CA153 and CA125 in two groups were all lower than those before treatment, and the indexes of the observation group were decreased more significantly than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: Shenqi Fuzheng Injection Combined with chemotherapy in peripheral blood and immune function significantly improved in patients with breast cancer, and a significant decrease in the level of tumor markers.展开更多

Control group was treated by DCF chemotherapy, while the observation group by Shenqi Fuzheng Injection based on the DCF chemotherapy. The levels of peripheral blood cells, tumor markers and immune function indexes in both groups were detected and compared before and after treatment.Results: There were no significant differences in serum RBC, WBC, PLT, Hb, NSE, CYFRA21-1, CA199, CEA, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels before treatment in both groups. Compared with the pretreatment group, the levels of RBC, WBC, PLT and Hb in both groups decreased to some extent after treatment, and the levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group;Compared with the same group before treatment, the levels of NSE, CYFRA21-1, CA199 and CEA in the two groups were significantly decreased, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group;CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ levels in control group and observation group increased to some extent after treatment, and the levels in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group. The levels of CD8+ in both groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group after treatment. The above data for statistical analysis had significant differences.Conclusions: Shenqi Fuzheng injection combined with chemotherapy helps to clear and kill cancer cells, enhance immunity and reduce hematological toxicity after chemotherapy, which can be used as an adjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer.展开更多

Methods: 2-DE was adopted to separate the total proteins of poorly-differentiated gastric cancer serum and paired normal serum. After staining and analyzing by ImageMaster 2D Elite software, the differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight- mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Results: 2-DE serum profiles with high resolution were obtained. Five protein spots were found as differentially-expressed proteins and identified as Serpin B6 (Placental thrombin inhibitor) Cytoplasmic antiproteinase (CAP) (Protease inhibitor6) (PI-6), Septin-1 (LARP) (Serologically defined breast cancer antigen NY-BR-24), Kallikrein-6 precursor (Protease M) (Neurosin) (Zyme) (SP59), Hemoglobin beta chain, Hemoglobin beta chain and Beta-defensin 108 precursor (Beta-defensin 8) (DEFB-8). Conclusion: The differential proteins were demonstrated to present in poorly-differentiated gastric cancer serum and paired normal serum. The molecular biomarkers associated with poorly differentiated gastric cancer could be possibly identified by the high throughput screening proteome technology.展开更多
