A Novel Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategy for Cancer Patients by Integrating Chinese Medicine Syndrome Differentiation and Precision Medicine.

Applying Chinese medicine (CM) is an important strategy for malignant tumor treatment in China. One of the significant characteristics of CM is to treat diseases based on syndrome differentiation. For Western medicine, it is of important clinical significance to formulate guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients based on the characteristics of disease differentiation.

[Metabonomics research strategy based on microdialysis technique].

Metabonomics is the branch of systems biology. It has been widely used in the fields of diagnostic markers discovery, disease prognosis, drug action mechanism, drug efficacy and toxicity evaluation, traditional Chinese medicine syndromes differentiation. There are shortcomings in the conventional metabonomics research.

[Brain lipidomics of intervention effect of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Chuanxiong Rhizoma on ischemic stroke based on UPLC-Q-TOF-MS technique].

The aim of this paper was to investigate the intervention effect of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Chuanxiong Rhizoma on brain lipid metabolism in rats with ischemic stroke. The ischemic stroke rat model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion( MCAO) method. The brain tissues were collected after the last administration with Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Chuanxiong Rhizoma decoction lyophilizate.

[Compositions of organic acids in PM10 emission sources in Xiamen urban atmosphere].

The possible organic acid emission sources in PM10 in Xiamen urban atmosphere such as cooking, biomass burning, vehicle exhaust and soil/dust were obtained using a re-suspension test chamber. A total of 15 organic acids including dicarboxylic acids, fatty acids and aromatic acids were determined using GC/MS after derivatization with BF3/n-butanol. The results showed that the highest total concentration of 15 organic acids (53%) was found in cooking emission and the average concentration of the sum of linoleic acid and oleic acid was 24% +/- 14%.

Pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety evaluation of docetaxel/hydroxypropyl-sulfobutyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex.

Hydroxypropyl-sulfobutyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-SBE-β-CD) inclusion complex was developed and used as a drug delivery system for DTX (DTX/HP-SBE-β-CD). The objective of the present study was to evaluate and compare the biological properties of DTX/HP-SBE-Β-CD with Taxotere®. The pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, antitumor efficacy in vivo and in vitro, and safety evaluation of DTX/HP-SBE-β-CD were studied.

Sclerotherapy of microcystic lymphatic malformations in oral and facial regions.

Purpose: Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are benign vascular lesions that can cause disfigurement and functional impairment. Complete surgical resection is often difficult and intralesional injection of sclerosing agents has been proposed as an alternative to the surgery. The aim of this study was to review our experience with pingyangmycin (bleomycin A(5)) injection alone or in combination with surgery for treatment of oral and facial LMs, and to observe the histologic changes after intralesional injection of pingyangmycin.

Surgery of lymphatic malformations in oral and cervicofacial regions in children.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine prognostic factors and complication rates related to the surgical management of lymphatic malformations of oral and cervicofacial regions in children.

Study Design: The charts of 117 children operated on for oral and cervicofacial lymphatic malformations were retrospectively reviewed. Treatment outcomes were analyzed for correlation with several factors, including age at presentation, sex, associated symptoms, anatomical site of involvement, extent of disease, operative complications, histological pattern, and recurrence.
