ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the risk factors of anxiety and depression in patients with suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) so as to achieve early intervention and better clinical prognosis.@*METHODS@#Seventy-six patients with suspected COVID-19 in fever isolation wards of Second Hospital of Lanzhou University were enrolled From January 31, 2020 to February 22, 2020. Their clinical baseline data were collected. The anxiety of patients was assessed by Hamilton Anxiety Scale, and the depression of patients was assessed by Hamilton Depression Scale. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the risk factors of anxiety and depression in these patients.@*RESULTS@#Female patients are more likely to have anxiety (=3.206, 95%: 1.073-9.583, <0.05) and depression (=9.111, 95%: 2.143-38.729, <0.01) than male patients; patients with known contact history of epidemic area and personnel in epidemic area are more likely to have depression (=3.267, 95%: 1.082-9.597, <0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#During the isolation treatment of suspected COVID-19 patients, early psychological intervention should be carried out for the female patients with known contact history of epidemic area and personnel in epidemic area, and drug treatment should be given in advance if necessary.

Objective To compare the efficacy and toxicities between preoperative concomitant boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and 3-dimensional conformal RT (3-DCRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer.Methods A prospective study from May 2010 to May 2015.A total of 130 patients with histologically confirmed,newly diagnosed,locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma (cT3-T4 and/or cN +) located within 10 cm from the anal verge were included in this study.The patients were divided into IMRT and 3D-CRT groups by random number table method.Sixty-six patients were treated with IMRT,and the other sixty-four patients were treated with 3-DCRT.In the IMRT group,the prescription dose was 1.8 Gy/fraction to 45 Gy to the pelvis and 2.2 Gy/fraction to 55 Gy to the gross tumor volume simultaneously.The 3D-CRT prescription was 45 Gy in 25 fractions to the pelvis.Capecitabine (1 650 mg· m 2 · d-1) was given twice daily from days 1 to 14 and days 22 to 35 during RT in both arms.Total mesorectal excision (TME) was scheduled 6-8 weeks after the completion of chemoradiation.Results There were no significant differences in age,gender,tumor location,pathological differentiation degree and clinical stage between the two groups.Two patients withdrew from the study:one for grade 3 radiation dermatitis in IMRT group and the other for grade 3 fatigue in 3D-CRT.There was no significant difference in hematologic or nonhematologic toxicities between the two groups.No grade 4 or 5 toxicity was observed in either group.Compared with conformal radiotherapy,IMRT did not increase the difficulty of surgery.No significant difference was found in type of surgery or postoperative complications between the two groups.The rate of tumor regression grade (TRG) 4 (pathologic complete response,pCR) was 22.7％ for IMRT and 15.6％ for 3D-CRT,respectively(P ＞ 0.05).The rate of both TRG4 and 3 was 42.4％ for IMRT and 25.0％ for 3D-CRT,respectively (x2 =4.406,P=0.036).Conclusions Neoadjuvant concomitant boost IMRT is feasible and has a higher histopathological regression for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.Trial registration Chinese clinical trial registry,ChiCTR-IN R-16008004.
ABSTRACT
Objective To approch the characteristic of diagnosis and treatment of optic nerve injury in double wall optic canal.Methods Six patients,with double wall optic canal found by CT,were treated by drug,operation and visual rehabilitation training.The results of CT,vision-evoked potential and visual recovery were analysed.Results In 6 patients,4 were holo-double wall optic canal and 2 were mero-double wall optic canal,4 were found having bone fracture.All the 6 cases were effective to treatment including 3 patients whose vision was over 0.1.Conclusion In double wall optic canal,the degree of optic nerve injury is slight,visual recovery is better by drug,operation and visual rehabilitation training.
ABSTRACT
0.1 improved significantly, while the eyesights of the other patients improved slightly or not at all. In the 53 cases of mass diseases,45 cases (84.9 %) required complete removal whereas 8 cases required bulk removal. No cases of sunken eyeball was found. Snuffle was improved in all cases. Most symptoms disappeared and no optic nerve injury resulted after the tumors in the orbital apex were removed. CONCLUSION Selecting the proper operative approach is important to the uncovering of the operative area. The use of navigation systems and endoscope could increase the rate of complete removals,result in fewer injuries of vessels and nerves,and avoid facial incision.
