Methods: Twenty-seven patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer receiving docetaxel plus S1 in our hospital were analyzed. The efficacy and safety were evaluated according to RECIST and NCI CTC 3.0. Results: The clinical efficacy and toxicity were evaluated in all the 27 patients, including 1 case of CR, 12 of PR, 6 of SD, and 8 of PD (ORR = 48.1%, CBR = 70.3%). The median time to tumor progression (mTTP) was 7.3 months. No IV degree of adverse reaction was observed in the observation group. Most adverse reactions were degrees I and II, the most common reactions were neutropenia (59.3%), abnormal liver function (33.3%), gastrointestinal adverse events (29.6 %) and stomatitis (7.4%). Conclusion: With good efficacy and low toxicity, docetaxel plus S1 could be administered in the treatment of advanced metastatic breast cancer.展开更多

Methods: The data of 72 cases of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (DX) in locally advanced breast cancer after 4 cycles were retrospectively analyzed. Docetaxel 75 mg/m^2 by infusion 1 h on dl, capecitabine 2000 mg/m^2 by oral for twice daily on d1-14, 21 days was a cycle. Results: All 72 patients were assessed for efficacy and adverse events. The total effective rate was 80.5% (58/72), including pathological complete response (pCR) was 7 (9.7%), clinical complete remission (cCR) was 15(20.8%), clinical partial response (PR) was 43 (59.7%), stable disease (SD) was 8 (11.1%) and progressive disease (PD) was 6 (8.3%). The main adverse events were gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression. The 3 to 4 degrees of adverse reactions including granulocytopenia in 7 patients (20.6%), hand-foot syndrome in 6 patients (15.2%). Conclusion: The DX regimen provide a favorable efficacy and safety profile in patients with locally advanced breast cancer for neoadjuvant chemotherapy.展开更多

Methods: 120 cases conformed to the diagnostic criteria of the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders-Version 3 (CCMD-3) and were diagnosed as having insomnia of the deficiency type were divided randomly into a treatment group and a control group, 60 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with the XIA's No.1 Sleeping Prescription, while the control group was given estazolam (ling) for 6 weeks. The Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) was used to evaluate the clinical therapeutic effects, while the treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS) was used to evaluate adverse reactions. Results: The total effective rate of the treatment group (80%) was higher than that of the control group (70%), but with no significant difference (P〉0.05). The effective rate for long-term insomnia was 77.8% in the treatment group and 52.4% in the control group, with a significant difference between the two groups (P〈0.05). The adverse reactions shown in the treatment group were obviously fewer and milder than those in the control group. Conclusion: The XIA's No. 1 Sleeping Prescription is effective for insomnia of the deficiency type and with no obvious toxic side effects.展开更多
