In the present study, the corrected QT interval (QTc) was measured in a healthy sample in Changsha, China. The findings were that the peak incidences of long and short QTc existed in two separate groups in the healthy sample.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyse the incidence of long and short corrected QT (QTc) in a healthy sample of the population of Changsha in China.
A traditional Chinese medicine pancreas-cleansing clog-removing formula effectively prolonged the survival of patients with pancreatic cancer and inhibited the proliferation of tumour cells, thus being worthy of promotion in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: To evaluate the performance of a traditional Chinese medicine pancreas-cleansing, clog-removing (Qiyi Huaji, QYHJ) formula in prolonging survival of pancreatic cancer (PC), stabilizing tumor growth, and inhibiting tumour cell proliferation.

Pathogenesis of peri-implantitis remains largely unknown. In this study, we have used salivary and tissue samples of patients with peri-implantitis and have highlighted a significant role for oxidative stress and advanced glycation end products in the pathogenesis.
We report a case of successful treatment with erlotinib of a patient with non-small cell lung cancer (stage IV) and meningeal metastasis. Combined treatment with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and erlotinib mitigated neurologic symptoms of the patient. Magnetic resonance imaging showed reduction of the brain metastasis. Partial remission was observed by chest computed tomography (CT) scan after six months of erlotinib therapy.
As hepatocellular carcinoma progresses, T-lymphocytes, natural killer cells, B lymphocytes, Mφ and GrB-expressing cells decrease. This indicates that these cells may be important markers of prognosis.
