ObjectiveTo compare the recent efficiency and toxicity reactions of pemetrexed plus cisplatin and paclitaxel plus cisplatin for advanced lung adenocarcinoma. MethodsOne hundred and twenty-four patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma treated in our hospital between January 2009 and December 2012 were divided into pemetrexed plus cisplatin group (group PP, n=63) and paclitaxel plus cisplatin group (group TP, n=61). The effect was evaluated after two courses of treatment, and the toxicity reactions were evaluated every course. ResultsThe objective response rate, disease control rate and progression-free survival in group PP and TP were respectively 58.7% vs 37.7%, 74.6% vs 52.5%, and 6.1 months vs 4.5 months, with significant differences (P<0.05). The incidence of nausea and vomiting, and white blood cell decrease (neutropenia) in group PP were significantly lower than that in group TP (χ2=16.164, P<0.001; χ2=9.469, P=0.002). There were no significant differences in incidence of thrombocytopenia, anemia and hepatic function damage (χ2=0.098, P=0.755; χ2=0.267, P=0.606; χ2=0.006, P=0.973). ConclusionPemetrexed plus cisplatin shows obviously superior effects and fewer side effects on advanced lung adenocarcinoma compared with paclitaxel plus cisplatin regime.
Objective To elucidate the new concept and theory of neurorestoratology. Methods With the review of the development course and important research works in the field of neurorestoratology during the 20th century, especially recent 30 years, the regularity summary, science and technology philosophy induction, and theory distillation were carried out in this article. Results The new discipl ine system was brought forward as follows: ① Definition: neurorestoratology was asub-discipl ine of neuroscience which studies neural regeneration, neural structural repair of replacement, eruroplasticity and neuromodulation. The core purpose was to promote neural functional recovery of all neural degenerative diseases and damages. ② One central task and two basic points: to recover neurological function was the central research task all the time and the two basic points were the precl inical (basic) neurorestoration and the cl inical neurorestoration. ③ Four rationale of the discipl ine: l imited renovation, relearning, insufficient reserve, and l ifelong reinforcement. ④ Five major factors of neurorestoratology (5N’s dogma): neuroregeneration, neurorepair, neuroplasticity, neuromodulation, neurorehabil itation. “Neuroprotection” appeared to be included in the broad definition. ⑤ Four-step rule of neurorestoratology: structural neurorestoration, signal neurorestoration, rehabil itative neurorestoration, and functional neurorestoration. ⑥ Emphasize that translational medicine from lab to bed in neurorestoration. Conclusion The discipl ine of neurorestoratology has the vast development prospectand will be sure to increase the rapid progress of the basic and cl inical restorative neuroscience.

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy between moisture healing therapy and multi-source therapeutic apparatus in the management of skin damage. MethodsFrom January 2012 to May 2014, 48 patients with 66 skin damages were divided into observation group (26 patients with 35 damages) and control group (22 patients with 31 damages) based on their informed consent and their own willing to choose the treatment methods. Patients in the observation group were treated with moisture dressings, while those in the control group received exposed treatment through multi-source therapeutic apparatus. Then, we compared the groups in terms of secondary infection rate, pain score, and healing time. ResultsThe secondary infection rate of the observation group was 2.9%, significantly lower than that of the control group (19.4%) (P<0.05). Grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ pain rate of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The damage healing time of the face, body and limbs was (10.0±1.3), (13.0±1.4), and (15±1.67) days, respectively, in the observation group, which was significantly shorter those in the control group [(16.0±2.6), (21.0±2.5), and (24.0±2.4) days] (P<0.05). ConclusionMoisture healing therapy can improve the eradication of necrotic tissue and dry gangrene, reduce the risk of infection and relieve pain of the patients as well as promote healing process and reduce the formation of scar by promoting regeneration of granulation and epithelium, which is worth clinical popularizing.
ObjectiveTo explore the application of different digestive system management strategies in the perioperative period of thoracolumbar fracture.MethodsThe clinical data of the patients with thoracolumbar fractures and pedicle screw fixation in Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2016 to January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different perioperative management strategies of the digestive system, they were divided into two groups. Patients with careful management strategy were included in the observation group, and patients with routine management were included in the control group. The baseline conditions, the abnormalities of digestive tract function at admission and before and after surgery, the postoperative first feeding time, exhaust time, defecation time, the incidence of other postoperative complications except digestive tract complication, length of stay and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. At 6 months after surgery, the fracture healing, loosening or fracture of internal plants were compared between the two groups.ResultA total of 121 patients were included in the study, including 67 cases in the observation group and 54 cases in the control group. There was no significant differences in the baseline conditions between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidences of digestive system dysfunction at admission (P>0.05). The incidences of digestive system dysfunction in the observation group before and after surgery were lower than those in the control group (29.9% vs. 53.7%, P<0.05; 35.8% vs. 61.1%, P<0.05). The first eating time [(3.7±1.1) vs. (6.7±2.6) h], exhaust time [(7.8±2.3) vs. (13.6±4.2) h], defecation time [(26.7±8.1) vs. (40.9±11.2) h] and length of stay [(6.5±2.4) vs. (9.0±2.7) d] in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.005), and the patients’ satisfaction was better than that of the control group (8.3±1.1 vs. 7.6±1.3; t=−3.208, P=0.002). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications except digestive tract complication, and the fracture healing rate, the incidence of nail-rod breakage at6 months after surgery between the two groups (P>0.05). No internal plant loosening was found in the two groups of patients within 6 months after surgery.ConclusionThe application of the careful digestive system management strategy in patients with thoracolumbar fractures can help reduce the incidence of perioperative gastrointestinal dysfunction, promote the recovery of perioperative gastrointestinal function, shorten the length of hospital stay, and improve patient satisfaction.
