Clinical Effectiveness of Erlova in EGFR-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: An Affordable Price with Clinical Benefit

Background: Thyrosin kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is approved for the first line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with  epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. This study performed to assess clinical effectiveness and safety of Erlova (generic form of Erlotinib). Methods: Somatic mutations of EGFR gene were studied in tumor tissue by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and bi-directional sequencing in 513 chemonaive and histologically verified lung adenocarcinoma Iranian patients. Patients  with EGFR mutation received Erlova at 150 mg/day  as first line treatment. Primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS). Results: About 21% (n=109) cases had EGFR mutation. Most EGFR mutations were  occurred at exon 19. Among them, sixty nine patients treated with Erlova. Median PFS was 11.4 months and objective response rate (ORR) was about  88%. Most frequent treatment related adverse events was  skin rash. Conclusion: Our findings showed Erlova had remarkable effectiveness. In  mutation-positive patients with EGFR, Erlova can be used  safely instead of  other tyrosine-kinase inhibitors.     

心达康滴丸联合地尔硫卓治疗冠心病心绞痛的临床研究

目的探讨心达康滴丸联合盐酸地尔硫卓片治疗冠心病心绞痛的临床疗效。方法选择2018年7月—2019年7月在武汉市江夏区中医医院治疗的冠心病心绞痛患者94例,根据用药的差别分成对照组(47例)和治疗组(47例)。对照组口服盐酸地尔硫卓片,30mg/次,3次/d;治疗组在对照组基础上口服心达康滴丸,18粒/次,3次/d。两组患者均经4周治疗。观察两组患者临床疗效,同时比较治疗前后两组患者心绞痛发作次数和持续时间,临床症状积分、SAQ和GQOLI-74评分,血清C反应蛋白(CRP)、S100钙结合蛋白A12(S100A12)、白细胞介素-18(IL-18)、妊娠相关血清蛋白A(PAPP-A)、内皮素-1(ET-1)和肌钙蛋白I(CTnI)水平及心功能。结果治疗后,对照组和治疗组临床有效率分别为80.85%和97.87%,两组比较差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。治疗后,两组患者心绞痛发作次数及持续时间都显著改善降低(P0.05),且治疗组比对照组改善更显著(P0.05)。治疗后,两组患者SAQ积分和GQOLI-74评分均明显升高,而临床症状积分明显降低(P0.05),且治疗组这些评分明显好于对照组(P0.05)。治疗后,两组患者血清CRP、S100A12、IL-18、PAPP-A、ET-1、CTnI水平均明显降低(P0.05),且治疗组明显低于对照组(P0.05)。治疗后,两组患者左心室射血分数(LVEF)和心排血量(CO)均升高,而左室收缩末期内径(LVESD)明显降低(P0.05),且治疗组LVEF、CO和LVESD比对照组改善更明显(P0.05)。结论心达康滴丸联合盐酸地尔硫卓片治疗冠心病心绞痛可明显改善患者临床症状,改善生活质量,具有一定的临床推广应用价值。     

A randomized controlled trial: Comparison of one-per-mil tumescent technique and tourniquet in surgery for burn hand contracture in creating clear operative field and assessment of functional outcome

BackgroundThis study aims to compare the use of one-per-mil tumescent solution (a mixture of epinephrine and 0.2% lidocaine in a ratio of 1:1,000,000 in normal saline solution) and tourniquet to create clear operative fields and to evaluate the functional outcomes after post burn hand contracture surgery.MethodsThe subjects of this randomized controlled trial were divided into one-permil tumescent technique and tourniquet group for a similar surgical procedure. Three independent assessors evaluated the clarity of the operative fields through recorded videos for the first 15 min and the first 10-minute of each hour of the surgery. Functional outcome was evaluated at least three months postoperatively using total active and passive motion (TAM and TPM) of each digit. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were tested during baseline (5 min before the procedures), ischemia phase, and reperfusion phase (a phase when the blood flow returned to the tissue).Results35 subjects were included in this study: 17 in the tumescent group and 18 in the tourniquet group. We found a significant difference in the clarity of operative field between tumescent and tourniquet groups, 5 vs 35 bloodless operative fields, respectively (p < 0.05). TAM and TPM of each digit before surgery and 3 months postoperatively showed no significant difference between both groups (p > 0.05). Furthermore, we found no difference in MDA and TNF-α levels between both groups at their respective phases.ConclusionsThe use of one-per-mil tumescent technique does not replace tourniquet use to create bloodless operative fields in burned hand contracture surgery. However, the postoperative functional results were similar in both groups showing that tumescent technique can be used as an alternative to tourniquet without compromising outcomes. The MDA and TNF-α examinations do not provide conclusive outcomes regarding ischemia and reperfusion injury.

236例无痛人工流产术的疗效观察

目的:探讨异丙酚和芬太尼混合液静脉麻醉、笑气吸入麻醉及2%利多卡因宫颈局部浸润麻醉三种镇痛方法在人工流产手术中的疗效比较。方法:自2003年8月至2004年1月对236例妇科门诊早孕要求终止妊娠的妇女实施无痛人工流产术。随机分成3组。A组:异丙酚+芬太尼静脉麻醉(85例);B组:N2O(笑气)吸入麻醉(88例);C组:2%利多卡因宫颈局部浸润麻醉(63例),观察人流术中其镇痛效果并对疼痛进行分级。结果:A组85例100%可达到完全不痛(疼痛分级为0级);B组65.90%可达到完全不痛,Ⅰ级23.86%,Ⅱ级9.09%,Ⅲ级1.15%;C组0例可达到完全不痛,Ⅰ级63.49%,Ⅱ级30.16%,Ⅲ级6.35%。结论:受术者如无心肺疾患及人流禁忌证,无痛人工流产术应选择异丙酚+芬太尼静脉麻醉可达到完全无痛,痛苦最小。     

剖宫产孕妇硬膜外给局麻药的药代动力学

为了解孕妇硬膜外给局麻药的药代动力学，选择２０名实施剖宫产手术的健康临产妇，随机分成硬膜外腔给予了哌卡因组（Ｂ１组）和给予利多卡因组（Ｌ组）。另外， ６例非妊娠患者硬膜外腔给予了哌卡因（Ｂ２组）。Ｂ１和Ｂ２组均给予０．７５％丁哌卡因１～１．５ｍｇ·ｋｇ－１，Ｌ组给予２％利多卡因４～４．５ｍｇ·ｋｇ－１。采用高效液相色谱（ＨＰＬＣ）测定硬膜外给药后血浆药物浓度。结果表明三组病例血药浓度均在安全范围内。Ｂ１组的血药浓度达高峰时间（Ｔｐｅａｋ）和脐静脉与母体血药浓度比（ＵＶ／ＭＶ）值均小于Ｌ组，表明丁哌卡因在硬膜外腔的吸收比利多卡因快，且透过胎盘屏障的药量小于利多卡因，新生儿Ａｐｇａｒ评分在娩出后５分钟均为１０分。Ｂ１组的药代动力学参数与Ｂ２组基本相似。结论：剖宫产手术硬膜外腔给予临床剂量的局麻药是安全的。
