  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON MICROWAVE REGULATING IMMUNOLOGICAL DISORDER IN CHRONIC LYMPHEDEMA PATIENTS

    Twenty patients with chronic lymphedema had been treated by microwave heating. T-lympocyte subpopulation and HLA-DR phenotype of peripheral blood in patientswith lymphedema were examined by using dual colour flow cytometry before and after treatment. We found that CD4 (T helpe/inducer) in chronic lymphedema decreased significantly (Plt;0.01), HLA-DR increased significantly (P lt;0.05). After the microwave treatment, the CD4, CD4/CD8 ratio increased significantly; HLA-DR, HLA-DR+CD+8 lymphocyte reduced. It was clear that microwave could regulate the immunological disorder of lymphedema patients.

  • Application of the subpopulation treatment effect pattern plot (STEPP) method in clinical trials

    Subpopulation treatment effect pattern plot (STEPP) method is a method for examining the relationship between treatment effects and continuous covariates and is characterized by dividing the study population into multiple overlapping subpopulations to be analyzed based on continuous covariate values. STEPP method has a different purpose than traditional subgroup analyses, and STEPP has a clear advantage in exploring the relationship between treatment effects and continuous covariates. In this study, the concepts, advantages, and subpopulation delineation methods of the STEPP method are introduced, and the specific operation process and result interpretation methods of STEPP method analysis using the STEPP package in R language are presented with examples.
