Objective To assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of paclitaxel liposomes and carboplatin for ovarian cancer. Methods The databases such as The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI and CBM were searched to collect all randomized control trials (RCTs) about the clinical effectiveness and safety of paclitaxel liposomes and carboplatin for ovarian cancer. Literatures were screened according to the inclusive and exclusive criteria, the data were extracted, the methodological quality of the included studies was assessed in line with Cochrane Handbook 5.0.1, and Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.0.24 software. Results Three RCTs involving 214 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that compared with the paclitaxel plus carboplatin group, the paclitaxel liposomes plus carboplatin group didn’t show significant differences in the total effective rate (P=0.62), while it was obviously superior in reducing the adverse events, such as muscle and joint pain (Plt;0.000 01), peripheral neurotoxicity (P=0.04), nausea or vomiting (P=0.000 2), facial blushing (P=0.03) and rashes (P=0.003). But there were no significant differences between the two groups in trichomadesis, dyspnea, diarrhea, bellyache and blood system abnormalities. Conclusion As current clinical evidences shows, the paclitaxel liposomes and carboplatin in treating ovarian cancer is as effective as the paclitaxel and carboplatin, and it can reduce some of the adverse reactions. Therefore, the paclitaxel liposomes and carboplatin is available for ovarian cancer as a new, safe and effective treatment. Due to small scale and low quality of the included studies, this conclusion has to be further proved with more high-quality, large-scale, and double-blind RCTs.

Objective To observe the effect of cationic liposomal ceftazidime (CLC) combined with nano-hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate (n-HA/β-TCP) in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of rabbits. Methods Thirty healthy New Zealand white rabbits (4-6 months old; weighing, 2-3 kg) were selected to prepare the chronic osteomyelitis models. After 4 weeks, the gross observation, X-ray examination, and bacteriological and histopathological examinations were done; the models were made successfully in 27 rabbits. Of 27 rabbits, 24 were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=6): only debridement was performed in group A; ceftazidime was given (90 mg/kg), twice a day for 8 weeks after debridement in group B; ceftazidime and n-HA/β-TC were implanted after debridement in group C; and CLC and n-HA/β-TCP were implanted after debridement in group D. Before and after treatments, X-ray examination was done, and Norden score was recorded. At 8 weeks after treatment, the specimens were harvested for gross observation and for gross bone pathological score (GBPS) using Rissing standard; half of the specimens was used for histological observation and Smeltzer scoring, the other half for bacteriological examination and calculation of the positive rate of bacteria culture. Results At 8 weeks after treatment, Norden score of group D was significantly lower than that of groups A, B, and C (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference was found among groups A, B, and C (P gt; 0.05). At 8 weeks after treatment, sinus healed in groups C and D, but sinus was observed in groups A and B; the GBPS scores of groups C and D were significantly lower than those of groups A and B (P lt; 0.05). The Smeltzer scores of groups C and D were significantly lower than those of groups A and B (P lt; 0.05). The positive rates of bacteria culture of groups C (0) and D (0) were significantly lower than those of group A (25.0%) and group B (16.7%) (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion CLC combined with n-HA/β-TCP has good effect in treating chronic osteomyelitis of rabbits, and it has better effect in treating chronic osteomyelitis of rabbits than ceftazidime with n-HA/β-TCP.
【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the anti-infection and bone repair effects of cationic l i posome-encapsulatedvancomycin combined with the nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan/konjac glucomannan (n-HA/CS/KGM) composite scaffold invivo. Methods Fifty-one 6-month-old New Zealand white rabbits, weighing 1.5-3.0 kg, were selected to prepare chronicinfectious tibia bone defect model by using Staphylococcus aureus. After 4 weeks, 48 survival rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=12). After debridement, defect was treated with nothing in group A, with n-HA/CS/KGM composite scaffold in group B, with vancomycin and n-HA/CS/KGM composite scaffold in group C, and with cationic l i posome-encapsulated vancomycin and n-HA/CS/KGM composite scaffold in group D. After 8 weeks of treatment, general observation, X-ray, HE staining, the bacterial culture, and the measurement of the longest diameter of bone defect were done. Results At 4 weeks after modeling, 48 rabbits were diagnosed as having osteomyelitis, including periosteal new bone formation, destruction of bone, and soft tissue swell ing. The Norden score was 3.83 ± 0.52. At 8 weeks after treatment, sinus healed in groups C and D, but sinus was observed in groups A and B; the gross bone pathologieal scores of group D were significantly better than those of groups A and B (P lt; 0.05). Bone defects were repaired completely in group D, the results of the longest diameter of bone defects in group D was significantly better than those in the other 3 groups (P lt; 0.05). New bone formation was observed in groups C and D, but periosteal reactionand marrow low-density shadow were observed in groups A and B; Norden score in group D was significantly better than those in groups A, B, and C (P lt; 0.05). HE staining showed that there were a large number of trabecular bone formation and fibrosis, with no obvious signs of infection in groups C and D, but neutrophil accumulation was observed in groups A and B; Smeltzer scores in groups C and D were significantly better than those in groups A and B (P lt; 0.05). Bacteriological results showed higher negative rate in groups C and D than in groups A and B (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Cationic l iposome-encapsulated vancomycin and n-HA/CS/KGM composite scaffold can be a good treatment for infectious bone defects in rabbits, providing a new strategy for the therapy of bone defects in chronic infection.

Objective It is difficult to treat chronic osteomyel itis due to the formation of the Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. Liposomal gentamicin-impregnated allogeneic cortical bone can inhibit the formation of the Staphylococcus aureusbiofilms. To explore the treatment of chronic osteomyel itis of rabbit by l iposomal gentamicin-impregnated allogeneic cortical bone. Methods The l iposomal gentamicin, l iposomal gentamicin-impregnated allogeneic cortical bone and gentamicinimpregnated allogeneic cortical bone were produced. Then the chronic Staphylococcus aureus osteomyel itis models of rabbit were made in left lower l imbs of 40 6-month-old rabbits and the right lower l imbs were used as controls. After 2 weeks, the observations of gross and X-ray were done. Four rabbits died within 10 days after the models were made and other 36 rabbits were devided into 6 groups: group A (no antibiotics), group B (intravenous injection of gentamicin), group C (intravenous injection of l i posomal gentamicin), group D (implantation of gentamicin-impregnated allogeneic cortical bone), group E (implantation of l i posomal gentamicin-impregnated allogeneic cortical bone), and group F (implantation of allogeneic cortical bone). After 2 weeks of treatment, the bacterial culture, X-ray and HE staining were done. Results The chronic Staphylococcus aureus osteomyel itis model of rabbit was made successfully. The X-ray showed dissolution of bone and periosteal reaction in groups A, B, C, and F, and no obvious dissolution of bone and periosteal reaction in groups D and E. The Norden scores were (2.5 ± 0.3), (2.1 ± 0.2), (1.5 ± 0.3), (1.5 ± 0.2), (0.9 ± 0.3), and (2.7 ± 0.3) points in groups A-F, respectively; showing significant differences between group A and groups B-E (P lt; 0.05), between groups B, E, F and other groups (P lt; 0.05). The results of blood and marrow cultures for Staphylococcus aureus were positive in groups A and F, and negative in other 4 groups; the results of bone marrow culture for Staphylococcus aureus were positive in 6 rabbits of group B, 4 rabbits of group C and 3 rabitts of group D; and the results were negative in group E. HE staining showed: in groups A and F, abscess and dead bone formed, and no new bone formation were observed; in groups B and C, different degrees of neutrophil accumulation was seen; in group D, some neutrophil accumulation occurred, and osteoprogenitor cells and osteoclasts were seen around implanted bone; and in group E, no neutrophil accumulation was observed, a lot of granulation tissues formed, and osteoprogenitor cells and osteoclasts were seen around implanted bone. Conclusion Implantation of l iposomal gentamicin-impregnated allogeneic cortical bone has remarkly better effect in treating chronic osteomyel itis than intravenous injection of l iposomal gentamicin and implantation of gentamicin-impregnated allogeneic cortical bone.
