Methods: Twelve cases of stage III NSCLC in Tumor Radiotherapy Center of our hospital (the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College Qingdao University, China) were collected from July 2011 to July 2012; all patients were under 75 years old with clear pathology, measurable lesions and good personal statement. They were randomly divided into combined treatment group (D1 + D2) and control group (D1). The control group (D1) only received radiotherapy to the chest; combined treatment group (D1 + D2) received low-dose splenic irradiation plus conventional dose irradiation. Flow cytometry was used to detect the peripheral blood T lymphocyte immune indexes of patients before, during and after the treatment, classification by five blood cell analyzer was used to determine white blood cells, neutrophils, hemoglobin and platelet count. The radiation induced toxicity including esophagitis, pneumonia and gastrointestinal reaction was observed, as well as the dose when it happened. Results: There was no significant difference in the ratio between two groups in cells CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ after radiotherapy (P 〉 0.05). There was no change in these indicators in combined treatment group after treatment (P 〉 0.05), but it decreased in control group (P 〈 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidences of radiation esophagitis, pneumonia, gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression between two groups (P 〉 0.05), but the patients in combined treatment group seemed to tolerate high dose well (P 〈 0.05). Conclusion: Low-dose splenic irradiation combined with radiotherapy to the chest can alleviate the injury degree of acute radiation induced the toxicity of locally advanced NSCLC patients, through affect the patient's immune function.展开更多

Its narrow therapeutic index should be monitored carefully in order to reach the desired outcomes. The complexity of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics profile of warfarin makes it a challenge to use during treatment. Its manufacturing characteristics play a key role in its dosage. The aim of this study is to examine and evaluate the effect of two different warfarin regimens in Chinese patients. A cross-sectional study design was adopted. Medical records of all patients (n = 368) who received warfarin therapy in cardio-thoracic surgery wards between Sep. 2008 and Dec. 2009 were reviewed. Details of antithrombotic results of international normalized ratio (INR) monitoring were obtained. Statistical analysis was performed to assess factors predictive of INR therapeutic range at patients' discharge time according to different warfarin regimens (2.5 mg in China and 3.0 mg in USA). The patients' mean age was (48.23~12.96) years. The percentage of patients within the INR therapeutic range in the group treated with 2.5 mg warfarin (35.17%) was much lower than that in group treated with 3.0 mg warfarin (47.72%). Therefore, a significance difference was observed (P = 0.032〈0.05). In this study, statistical values have shown that most of the patients were related to medical case requesting INR target range of 1.8-2.2 and 2.0-2.5, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The study showed that the 2.5 mg-warfarin regimen was less suitable than the 3.0 mg-warfarin regimen. Medication regimen should be simplified as much as possible, especially during different treatment period.展开更多

METHODS: WD patients with neurological symptoms were divided into two groups: a treatment group (n = 53) and a control group (n = 50). The treatment group received anti-copper therapy with a combination of Gandouling and low-dose D-peni- cillamine (10 mglkg), whereas the control group was with conventional dose D-penicillamine (20 rag/ kg) monotherapy. The clinical efficacies, adverse re- actions, and results of the various hematological and biochemical investigations were recorded and analyzed statistically. RESULTS: Overall, 98.11% of the WD patients treated with the combined therapy experienced alleviation of their neurological condition (paralleled by a significantly improved Global Assessment Scale score or remained stable). Their white blood cell and platelet counts stabilized, and their liver function was improved or remained stable. The combined therapy also obviously promoted improved 24-h urinary copper excretion. Only 15.09% of the WD patients with the combined therapy experienced adverse reactions, including neurological deterioration in one case (1.89%) and hepatic worsening in one case (1.89%), which was less frequent than that in the control group given conventional-dose D-penicillamine monotherapy. CONCLUSION: Treating WD patients with neurological symptoms using Gandouling plus low-close D-penicillamine is effective and safe.展开更多
