ABSTRACT
@#Objective To compare the perioperative efficacy and safety of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) and uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS) in the lobectomy for early lung adenocarcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 70 early lung adenocarcinoma patients, receiving RATS or UVATS lobectomy by the same surgical team in our hospital from November 2018 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 24 males and 46 females with an average age of 59.3±8.9 years. According to different surgical methods, the patients were divided into a RATS group (31 patients) and a UVATS group (39 patients). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, indwelling time, drainage volume, number of lymph node dissected, stations of lymph node dissected and perioperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results There was no conversion to thoracotomy or perioperative death in both groups. There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube, thoracic drainage volume or stations of lymph node dissected between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of pulmonary infection, persistent lung leakage, chylothorax, arrhythmia or overall complications between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time of the RATS group was longer than that of the UVATS group (195.8±52.8 min vs. 154.0±43.1 min, P=0.001). The number of lymph node dissected in the RATS group was more than that of the UVATS group (P=0.016). Conclusion Both RATS and UVATS are safe and feasible in the treatment of lung cancer. The number of lymph nodes removed by RATS is significantly more than that of UVATS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a hanging drop 3D cell culture model of human colon cancer cell (HT29) in 48-well cell culture plate,at the same time,through the comparison of several cell viability detection methods to determine the appropriate one for this cell culture way.Methods HT29 cells of 2 375,3 164,4 218,5 625,7 500 and 10 000/well were seeded in the bottom of the 48-well culture plate to form droplets.After 2 d of inversion culture,the cell spheroids were formed and incubated in medium for another 3 d.The volume of cell spheroids were measured,and the absorbance (A) values were detected through APH assay,MTT assay,MTT assay after digestion,CCK-8 assay and CCK-8 assay after digestion.The results were compared among different methods.Results After 5 d of culture,the cell spheroids were formed perfectly at the density of 2 375-10 000/well,and the volumes were in good linear with the original cell inoculation number at the density of 2 375-7 500/well.The A values of APH assay,MTT assay after digestion and CCK-8 assay after digestion increased with the increase of cell inoculation amount;But the cell ball digestion process was complex,and the cell viability was damaged.However,the A values of MTT and CCK-8 assay increased slowly.Conclusion The method of a hanging drop 3D cell culture model in 48-well culture plate combining with APH assay to detect cell viability is economical,accurate and easy to operate.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Cervical pedicle screw fixation is a reliable method for the treatment of traumatic and non-traumatic cervical instability and cervical disc removal and fixation; however, the operation risks and the failure rate of screw insertion are still high. At present, the digital navigation template with digital computer technology, used in the department of orthopedics, has the advantages of accurate screw insertion and a small error in the screw insertion depth. OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of the digital navigation template combined with cervical pedicle screw implantation. METHODS: This is a prospective, single-center, self-controlled, clinical trial. Thirty-two patients with cervical spondylosis will be recruited from the Harrison International Peace Hospital, Hebei Province, China. Before surgery, a three-dimensional (3D) navigation model of the cervical vertebrae will be designed by 3D reconstruction. The navigation template will be generated by 3D printing. The cervical pedicle screws will be implanted according to preoperatively designed models and the screw positions will be observed by computerized tomography (CT) after surgery. The patients will be followed up for 40 months. The primary outcome measure is the excellent and good rate of screw position 40 months after implantation. The secondary outcome measures include the Visual Analog Scale score, American Spinal Injury Association classification, cervical X-ray and CT images before implantation and 40 months after implantation, and the incidence of adverse reactions 40 months after implantation. The protocols have been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Harrison International Peace Hospital in China (approval number: 20120630). The study protocol has been conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki,formulated by the World Medical Association.Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. The recruitment of subjects will begin in December 2017. Samples and data will be collected from December 2017 to April 2019. Outcome measures will be analyzed in October 2020. This trial will be completed in November 2020. The results of the trial will be reported in a scientific conference or disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal. This trial has been registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration number: ChiCTR-ONC-17013481). DISCUSSION: We will verify a high success rate of cervical pedicle screw implantation using the digital navigation template. The operation is simple and quick, with good efficacy and safety.
ABSTRACT
The China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) modulated the Drug Registration Regulation at 2016.In this article,the registration classification of chemical drug was analyzed,and the definition,cormotation and technical standard of new drugs and generic drugs were compared.Compared with the 2007 version of regulations,obvious changes have happened,the scope of new drugs has been narrowed,and the definition is more strict and accurate,the scope of generic drugs has been expanded.The new regulation keeps the same evaluation standards with the ICH,FDA and EMA.Regulatory changes have a profound impact on the medical research and development:promoting the reformulation of domestic pharmaceutical market,encouraging R&D and innovation in enterprises and accelerating the pace towards the international market.
