This study intends toinvestigate the therapeutic efficacy of the DICE (dexamethasone,isofosfamide, cisplatin and etoposide) regimen on the recurrentand refractory NHL, and to observe the related adverse effects.METHODS Clinical records of 22 patients with recurrent andrefractory NHL, who failed to achieve a remission from theCHOP [cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunomycin/doxorubicin(adriamycin), oncovin, prednisone] regimen within 2 to 6 cyclesof treatment, were reviewed. DICE, as a salvage regimen with amedian course of treatment of 4 cycles (ranging from 2 to 7 cycles),was now used, and evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy andadverse effect of DICE was conducted in all the patients. Of the 22NHL cases, 8 were of T-cell origin and the other 14 B-cell origin.Salvage treatment was performed in the patients, with appraisal,prevention and treatment of the toxic reactions.RESULTS Following DICE treatment in the 22 patients, thetotal effective rate of the regimen was 63.6%, and the completeremission (CR) rate was 40.9%. The effective rates of DICE onthe T and B-cell sourced NHL were 75.0% and 57.1%, and the CRrate were 37.5%, 42.9%, respectively (P >0.05). An increase of thelactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level accompanied by a giant lumpwas the short-term effect on patients with recurrence (mean P <0.05) who were drug resistant. Myelosuppression, digestive systemreaction and alopecia were the commonly-seen complications inthe patients who received DICE regimen. All patients recoveredafter treatment, and no chemotherapy-related death occurred.CONCLUSION DICE regimen is effective in treating refractoryand recurrent NHL.展开更多

However, the success of the treatment is limited due to severe myelosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide. Administration of cyclophosphamide could significantly decrease white blood cells (WBCs), platelets, red blood cells (RBCs), as well as hemoglobin level. The aim of this research is to investigate the protective role of Shenfu injection against cyclophosphamide induced myelosuppression. The results showed that Shenfu injection can markedly enhance the level of WBCs, platelets, RBCs, and hemoglobin of myelosuppressed rat. The level of WBCs, platelets, RBCs, and hemoglobin were increased by 70%-100%, 80%-90%, 10%-20% and 10%-20%, respectively. Furthermore, the protective role of Shenfu injection against myelosuppression was confirmed by the microscopic observation of bone marrow sections. In conclusion, Shenfu injection has a potential protective effect against cyclophosphamide-induced myelotoxicity.展开更多
