Methods: Sixty NSCLC patients were randomly divided into the treated group (n=30,treated with AI combined with chemotherapy) and the control group (n=30, treated with chemotherapy alone). Chemotherapy of MVP protocol was applied to both groups. AI was supplemented to the treated group by intravenous dripping 60 ml per day. Treatment of 21-28 days consisted one treatment cycle, and 2-3 cycles were applied. WResults: The effective rate in the treated group was 40.0% and in the control group was 36.7%, the mean remission rate in them being 5.4 month s and 3.3 months, the median survival period 11 month and 7 month and the 1-year survival rate 46.75% and 30.0%, respectively, the difference of these indexes between the two groups were all significant (P<0 05). Moreover, the clinical improving rate and QOF elevation rate in the treated group was 80.4% and 43.3%, as compared with those in the control group (50.0% and 23.3% respectively), the different was also significant (P<0 01). Conclusion: AI combined with chemotherapy can significantly improve the QOF in NSCLC patients of advanced stage.展开更多

Athero- sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by accumulation of lipids in the arterial wall (Gofman and Lindgren, 1950). Tremendous clinical and experimental efforts have been made to reveal the pathogenesis of the disease. Nevertheless, the mechanism of atherosclerosis is still unclear. A suitable animal model to study metabolic disorders and subsequent atherosclerosis is a necessity. The traditional method by feeding high fat diet to establish animal models of atherosclerosis disease is time- consuming and laborious, and in many circumstances, the pheno- types are not consistent among the individual models.展开更多
