Taxanes are essential chemotherapy agents for breast cancer treatment. However, patients frequently experience chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) during their course of treatment. Cryotherapy is a non-pharmacological approach that has been explored for its potential effects on preventing or improving CIPN. However, although several studies have reported on the effects of cryotherapy, no comprehensive review has been conducted to confirm its benefits.

85%-95% of patients with cancer experience chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), which may lead to neuropathic pain, emotional distress, functional difficulties, and interpersonal problems. Although exercise interventions have been proposed for improving and preventing CIPN, evidence regarding the efficacy of these interventions has been inconsistent and of inadequate quality. In addition, few domestic systematic reviews have examined the effects of exercise on CIPN.

To review systematically the effectiveness of acupuncture in treatment of chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression.

In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become a hot spot in cancer because of their remarkable survival benefits on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, the immune-related adverse events (ir-AEs) induced by ICIs have been frequently reported due to its specificity and severity. This article is to summarize and evaluate ir-AEs induced by ICIs. Hopefully it can provide guidance for advanced NSCLC patients treatment options, early recognition and management of ir-AEs.

Anti-cancer chemotherapy may cause skin-toxicity reactions. Different types of cooling packages affect chemotherapy-induced skin toxicity reactions differently.

In recent years, there has been a large number of studies and reports about the efficacy and safety of recombinant human endostatin (rh-endostatin), an anti-angiogenic drug, in treatment of advanced lung cancer. Authentic assessment of rh-endostatin treatment in lung cancer is important. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of rh-endostatin combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

To evaluate the efficacy and safety in treatment of ocular neovascularization by Bevacizumab versus Ranibizumab.

Berberine is a isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from Chinese herbs such as Coptidis rhizome. In the past decade, there are more than 2 000 published papers studying the clinical application, pharmacodynamic mechanism and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of berberine and its derivatives, for treating tumor, diabetes, cardiavascellum disease, hyperlipemia, inflammation, bacterium and virus infection, cerebral ischemia trauma, mental disease, Alzheimer disease, osteoporosis, and so on. These results demonstrate that berberine has wide physiologic function and has great potential for structural modification as new drug lead. However, there is no systematic review about the study of berberine and its derivatives up to now. This paper is a systematic review of the research advances of berberine and its derevatives in clinical application, pharmacodynamic mechanisms, molecular pharmacology, absorption and metabolism, and SAR studies. The current review would provide some useful information for further study on structural modification of berberine for discovering new drug leads based on its pharmacodynamic mechanisms.
