ABSTRACT
@#The lymphatic system is the main way of tumor metastasis and diffusion. Esophageal cancer is one of the typical cancers that are prone to metastasis through the lymphatic system. At present, an increasing number of studies show that the interaction between tumor cells and lymphatic endothelial cells is the first step in tumor lymphatic metastasis, but the underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. This article reviews the role and changes of tumor-related lymphatic vessels and lymphatic endothelial cells in the process of tumor lymphatic metastasis, which lays a foundation for further study of the specific molecular mechanism of esophageal cancer lymphatic metastasis and provides a new treatment direction for esophageal cancer patients.
ABSTRACT
In order to compare the setting of difference coefficients in DRG point payment in different cities in Zhejiang province, the implementation rules of DRG point payment issued by 11 cities in Zhejiang province were comprehensively analyzed. It was found that the difference coefficients in different cities could be divided into three categories, including hospital coefficients alone, hospital coefficients and grade coefficients weighted, and weighted by hospital coefficients, grade coefficients, personal burden levels, case mix indexes, and head-to-time ratio. Its setting differences included four aspects: connotation composition, weight distribution, threshold value, and classification of medical institutions. The authors suggested that the adjustment cycle should be set scientifically to dynamically adjust the difference coefficient, and the scientific setting of the difference coefficient should be promoted through provincial coordination.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the correlation among prognostic nutritional index (PNI), clinical features, and adverse reac-tions after adjuvant chemotherapy of gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastrectomy. Furthermore, this study aimed to clari-fy the predictive and prognostic significance of PNI in patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods:This study re-viewed the medical records of 148 patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy. The PNI value was calculated by serum al-bumin concentration (g/L)+5 × lymphocyte count (×109/L). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Youden index were used to determine the cut-off value of the PNI. Survival curves were described by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by Log-rank test. The univariate and multivariate analyses were performed with the Cox proportional hazard model to identify the prognostic factors. Re-sults:The mean values of the PNI in<65 years old patients (P<0.01), T1 and T2 stages of tumor (P<0.01), and negative lymph node (P=0.013) were significantly higher than those without such factors. Patients with higher PNI had significantly lower rates of postoperative complication and adjuvant chemotherapy adverse reactions than those with lower PNI (P<0.01). When the PNI value was 52.08, the Youden index was maximal, with a sensitivity of 66.7%and a specificity of 34.3%. The overall survival rate in the high PNI group was higher than that in the low PNI group (P<0.01). The univariate and multivariate analyses showed that preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen level (P=0.018), tumor depth (P=0.010), intravascular cancer embolus (P=0.010), time to initiation of chemotherapy after sur-gery (P=0.034), and the PNI value (P=0.015) were independent factors in predicting overall survival rate. Conclusion:The PNI value was a simple and useful tool to predict the prognosis and the incidence of adjuvant chemotherapy adverse reactions of gastric cancer pa-tients after radical gastrectomy.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To explore the idea and method of post-marketing safety reevaluation of TCM injection in our hospi-tal. METHODS:In case-control study,salvianolate for injection was chosen for practice. 1 000 patients with stable angina receiv-ing Salvianolate for injection in our hospital during May 2012-Oct. 2013 were selected as subjects. The occurrence of ADR/ADE were observed and Logistic regression analysis was conducted by using SPSS 20.0 software. RESULTS:The incidence of ADR/ADE was 0.6%,and rare(0.1%-1%). The ADR/ADE were general and mainly manifested as erythra(66.67%). Skin and its ap-pendants were main organs involved in ADR(66.67%). Logistic regression analysis showed that gender,drug combination and age are risk factors of ADR/ADE. CONCLUSIONS:The post-marketing safety reevaluation of TCM injection not only make up for the deficiency of pre-marketing safety evaluation of TCM injection and find out potential delayed and severe ADR/ADE and drug inter-action,but also provide reference for rational drug use in the clinic and guarantee the safe and rational drug use.
ABSTRACT
To compare the clinical therapeutic effects of anterior decompression and posterior decompression on thoracolumbar spine fracture [TSF] complicated with spinal nerve injury [SNI]. A total of 120 patients with TSF and SNI were selected and divided into a treatment group and a control group that were then treated by anterior decompression and posterior decompression respectively. The preoperative and postoperative motor scores, tactile scores, heights of injured vertebral body and Cobb's angles, as well as surgical times and intraoperative blood losses were recorded and compared. Before surgeries, the motor score, tactile score, height of injured vertebral body and Cobb's angle of the treatment group were similar to those of the control group [P>0.05]. After surgeries, the values of the treatment group were significantly different from those of the control group [P<0.05]. The two groups also had significantly different intraoperative blood losses and surgical times [P<0.05]. Compared with posterior decompression, anterior decompression improved spinal cord function better and relived spinal cord compression more effectively with a more reasonable mechanics of internal fixation. Although this protocol caused more blood loss, the overall therapeutic effects were more satisfactory
