ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of nivolumab(PD-1 inhibitor)in combination with lenvatinib and FOLFOX regimen[5-fluorouracil(5-FU),oxaliplatin(L-OHP),and calcium folinate(LV)]in the treatment of intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)via hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC).Methods A total of 160 patients with intermediate and advanced HCC admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University from January 2021 to January 2023 were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,with 80 patients in each group,using a random number table.The control group received once-daily oral lenvatinib and intravenous carrizumab infusions for 12 weeks as part of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)therapy.The observation group was administered with FOLFOX regimen via HAIC chemotherapy,plus intravenous infusion of carrizumab for 12 weeks and once-daily oral lenvatinib.All the patients were followed up regularly.The clinical efficacy was evaluated using the mRECIST criteria.The objective response rate(ORR),disease control rate(DCR),overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS),and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences in the objective response rate and incidence of adverse reactions between the groups.The disease control rate,overall survival,and progression-free survival in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions The FOLFOX-HAIC regimen in combination with nivolumab and lenvatinib is safe and effective for the treatment of intermediate and advanced HCC,without adverse reactions.It can prolong the overall survival and progression-free survival,and improve the patient's quality of life.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the efficacy of endoscopic surgical repair in the treatment of type Ⅲ laryngeal clefts and to explore the feasibility of the treatment for type Ⅲ laryngeal clefts. Methods:The clinical data of 6 children with type Ⅲ laryngeal clefts who underwent endoscopic surgical repair in our department from June 2018 to January 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. The operation was performed under combined intravenous and general anesthesia,preserving the spontaneous breathing of the children. With the assistance of 4 mm/0° endoscope, radiofrequency knife or laryngeal scissors were used to make fresh wounds along the edge of laryngeal clefts,and cotton pads infiltrated with adrenaline (1:10 000) were used to compress the wound. 6-0 PDP suture was used to suture 3-6 stitches according to the extent of laryngeal clefts. Modified barium swallowing test (MBS) was performed 3 months after operation. Results:All the children were successfully treated with endoscopic surgical repair. After surgery, 2 cases were transferred to pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) for 7 days of monitoring, and the rest were transferred back to the general ward. There were no postoperative complications. The symptoms of dysphagia, laryngitis and recurrent pneumonia were improved in all children. According to the follow-up results of postoperative MBS,no aspiration was found in all children, and 2 children had intermittent cough when drinking large amounts of water. During the follow-up, there were 2 cases of recurrence, and the cracks were completely repaired after the second endoscopic surgical repair treatment,and no recurrence has been observed so far. Conclusion:Endoscopic surgical repair can be applied to some children with type Ⅲ laryngeal clefts with less intraoperative bleeding and fewer operative complications. It can significantly improve the symptoms such as swallowing dysfunction and recurrent pneumonia. It is a safe and effective surgical treatment.

At present, there is no unified gold standard for the treatment of laryngeal clefts. Type Ⅰ laryngeal clefts with mild symptoms can be treated conservatively, such as thick diet feeding and using proton pump inhibitor to control reflux, while Ⅱ-Ⅳ laryngeal clefts mostly requires surgical intervention.There are many different surgical methods for the treatment of laryngeal clefts, including injection laryngoplasty, endoscopic surgical repair of laryngeal clefts and open laryngoplasty through anterior cervical approach. How to choose a more suitable surgical plan for children is a problem worth discussing. This article will review the literature on the surgical treatment of laryngeal clefts both domestically and internationally, and summarize the current situation and challenges of surgical treatment of laryngeal clefts.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To assess the guideline role of preoperative subjective and objective assessment on nasal obstruction in chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS) patient during perioperative period. METHODS The patients with CRS who's chief complaint was nasal obstruction were divided into experimental group and control group according to different doctors. Visual analog scale, rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry were used to assess subjective and objective nasal obstruction, and nasal endoscopy and sinus CT examination were applied to evaluate the condition of nasal cavity and nasal sinuses. Patients were taken corresponding appropriate strategies in experimental group, but conventional empirical measures in control group during perioperative period. Postoperative follow-up were performed in 6 months and 1 year. SPSS21.0 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS There was no statistical difference in nasal obstruction symptom score, total rhinomanometry before operation between experimental group and control group(P>0.05). There were statistical difference between the 2 groups after operation in nasal obstruction symptom score, total rhinomanometry. At the 2 postoperative time points (6 months, 1 year after operation) compared with preoperative period, significant differences were found in the parameters evaluated between the two groups(P<0.05). The curative effect in different postoperative time showed statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Preoperative subjective and objective assessment for nasal obstruction can be used not only in the evaluation of severity and treatment effect, but also in the guideline of perioperative treatment for CRS combined with nasal endoscopy and sinus CT examination, which can improve nasal obstruction and the treatment effect of CRS.

ABSTRACT
Aim To explore antitumor mechanism of a recombinant vaccinia virus containing the human CEA-cDNA (rV-CEA). Methods C57/BL mice were immunized three times with rV-CEA. Six weeks later, the macrophages(MΦ s)and splenocytes from rV-CEA-immunized donors were transferred to CEA+ -HePa tnmor-bearing recipients,Meanwhile, the antitumor effects of these donor's MΦ s and splenocytes and that of the recipient's splenocytes were detected in vitro. Results The MΦ s and splenocytes from rV-CEA-immunized donors possessed strong antitumor activity in CEA-positive tumor-bearing recipients. The in vitro antitumor effect of splenocytes from mice inoculated with MΦ s from rV-CEA-immunized donors were markedly stronger than those from W-VV-immunized donors. However,the in vitro antitumor effect of the MΦ s from rV-CEA-immunized donors was the same as those from W-VV-immunized donors. Conclusion It is demonstrated that antitumor activity induced with rV-CEA may be mediated mainly by antigen present cells (the MΦ s), which activated tumor-specific T cells to kill tumor cells.
