ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the value of preoperative peripheral blood neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and blood platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and immune indexes in the evaluation of the prognosis of cervical cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 283 patients with cervical cancer who underwent radical surgery in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from May 2017 to September 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, and 100 healthy people who underwent physical examination during the same period were collected as the healthy control group. Test results of blood cells and immune cells expressions of all subjects were collected. Peripheral blood NLR and PLR of cervical cancer patients, people in the healthy control group and cervical cancer patients with different pathological characteristics were compared. Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis and Cox regression risk model was used to analyze the factors influencing the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer.Results:The preoperative peripheral blood NLR and PLR in patients with cervical cancer was higher than that of the healthy control group (NLR: 2.53±1.35 vs. 2.00±1.21, t = 5.35, P < 0.001; PLR: 163±57 vs.144±38, t = 4.71, P = 0.006). Pathological results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in NLR and PLR in peripheral blood of cervical cancer patients with different pathological types, tumor diameter, vascular invasion, and nerve invasion (all P > 0.05), while there were statistically significant differences in NLR and PLR in peripheral blood of cervical cancer patients with different clinical staging and muscle wall invasion (all P < 0.05). When the proportions of the expression levels of preoperative CD3 positive cells, CD4 positive cells, CD8 positive cells, CD19 positive cells, CD56 positive cells, and CD127 positive cells were 60%-85%, 30%-40%, < 25%, 8%-15%, 15%-25% and < 5%, respectively, the overall survival of cervical cancer patients was the best. Univariate analysis showed that pathological type, clinical staging, vascular invasion, preoperative NLR, preoperative PLR,CD3 positive cells, CD4 positive cells, CD8 positive cells, CD19 positive cells, CD56 positive cells and CD127 positive cells were influencing factors of the overall survival of cervical cancer patients (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that clinical staging, vascular invasion, preoperative NLR, preoperative PLR, and preoperative CD4 positive cells were independent influencing factors for the overall survival of cervical cancer patients (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative high NLR and PLR in peripheral blood have a certain impact on the clinicopathological characteristics and poor prognosis of cervical cancer patients. When the immune cells in peripheral blood are in dynamic balance, the prognosis of cervical cancer patients is the best.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the association between breast cancer and thyroid diseases, and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of thyroid diseases in breast cancer patients.Methods:A total of 511 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients were recruited between March 2018 and August 2019 from Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital, and 303 age-matched newly diagnosed breast benign disease patients and 341 age-matched healthy controls were recruited during the same time-frame. Thyroid B-ultrasound and thyroid function test were performed in the three groups. By reviewing the medical records, the general and clinicopathological data of the patients were collected, and the differences in the prevalence of thyroid diseases among the three groups were compared. The changes of thyroid function in breast cancer patients before treatment, in the middle stage of chemotherapy and at the end of chemotherapy were compared.Results:Among breast cancer group, breast benign disease group and healthy control group, the differences in the prevalence rates of hypothyroidism [32.5% (166/511), 25.7% (78/303) and 21.7% (74/341)], thyroid nodules [50.7% (259/511), 43.2% (131/303) and 41.6% (142/341)] and Thyroid Imaging Reports and Data System(TI-RADS) grade 4 and above thyroid nodules [15.4% (40/259), 14.5% (19/131) and 4.9% (7/142)] were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The abnormal rates of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (fT4) in breast cancer group were higher than those in breast benign disease group and healthy control group [34.1% (174/511) vs. 26.1% (79/303), 23.5% (80/341); 24.9% (127/511) vs. 8.6% (26/303), 3.2% (11/341)], and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05). The levels of fT4, free three iodide thyroxine (fT3), thyroid immunoglobulin antibody (TgAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) in breast cancer patients before treatment, in the middle stage of chemotherapy and at the end of chemotherapy were statistically different (all P < 0.05). The abnormal rates of fT4, TgAb and TPOAb in the last chemotherapy cycle were lower than those before chemotherapy [11.5% (59/511) vs. 24.9% (127/511), 5.1% (26/511) vs. 17.4% (89/511), 11.9% (61/511) vs. 20.4% (104/511)] in breast cancer patients, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). Conclusions:The breast cancer is associated with thyroid diseases. Clinicians should pay more attention to the changes of thyroid diseases and thyroid function during the treatment and in the follow-up process of breast cancer patients, so as to detect the thyroid diseases early and carry out standardized treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the risk factors of chronic postoperative inguinal pain for laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair and establish a nomogram prediction model for it.Methods:The clinical data of 576 patients who underwent laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair for inguinal pain at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2015 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to different postoperative outcomes, patients were divided into chronic pain group ( n=54) and non-chronic pain group ( n=522), compared two groups of patients in the material, including gender, age, BMI, smoking history, history of drinking, hypertension, diabetes, chronic bronchitis, abdominal surgery history, history of inguinal hernia, hernia type, the hernial sac size, prophylactic use of antibiotics, VAS score, mesh fixation techniques, operation time, length of stay. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as ( ± s) and independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparision between groups. Chi-square test was used to compare the measurement data of counting data.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain. R software was used to establish the drawing of the nomogram prediction model, and the consistency index, calibration chart and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive ability of the nomogram prediction model. Results:According to the results of the Logistic regression analysis, age≤45 years ( OR=2.202, 95% CI: 1.080-4.491), BMI≥24 kg/m 2 ( OR=2.231, 95% CI: 1.204-4.134), hernial sac≤5 cm ( OR=2.623, 95% CI: 1.309-5.257), recurrent hernia ( OR=2.769, 95% CI: 1.118-6.860), preoperative pain ( OR=4.121, 95% CI: 2.004-8.476), suture fixation ( OR=2.204, 95% CI: 1.151-4.219)and Postoperative acute pain (VAS>3) ( OR=5.814, 95% CI: 2.532-13.350) were independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain ( P<0.05). Based upon the above independent risk factors, the nomogram prediction model was established and verified. The area under the curve of the nomogram prediction model was 0.779 (95% CI: 0.718-0.840, P<0.01). After internal verification, the concordance index value of the prediction model was 0.779. Conclusion:age≤45 years, BMI ≥24 kg/m 2, hernial sac≤5 cm, recurrent hernia, preoperative pain, suture fixation and Postoperative acute pain (VAS>3) are independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain for laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair, the nomogram prediction model has a good accuracy and discrimination with a high value of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinicopathological characteristics and factors influencing the survival of young breast cancer patients with diagnostic age below 35 years, and to provide the basis for the prevention and treatment of young breast cancer patients.Methods:Epidemiological and clinicopathological data of young female patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer from Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital between January 2015 and December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The data included age at diagnosis, reproductive history, history of abortion, menopausal status, and immunohistochemical results. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed by using Cox regression model.Results:A total of 118 young breast cancer patients were collected, and the median age was 31 years old. Among them, the vast majority of 118 young breast cancer patients were invasive cancer (113 cases, accounting for 95.8%); there were 65 cases (55.1%) with tumor diameter ≤ 20 mm, 61 cases (51.7%) at N 0 stage, and 112 cases (94.9%) at M 0 stage. The positive rates of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) were 73.7% (87/118), 69.5% (82/118) and 28.8% (34/118), respectively. Luminal B breast cancer was the predominant molecular subtype, accounting for 55.1% (65/118). By the end of follow-up (median follow-up period of 60 months), the overall survival rate of young breast cancer patients was 78.8%. Multivariate analysis showed that TNM staging was an independent factor affecting overall survival in young breast cancer patients ( HR = 7.858, 95% CI 2.924-21.120, P < 0.001). Conclusions:Young breast cancer patients have unique clinicopathological features and TNM staging is an independent factor affecting the prognosis. Individualized treatment helps to improve the quality of life and prolong the survival time of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the effectiveness and recurrence rate of different types of mesh or without mesh in laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair.Methods:From Jan 2016 to Mar 2022 at the three hospital 90 patients with hiatal hernia, including 26 cases without mesh, 29 cases using synthetic mesh, and 35 cases using biological mesh underwent laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair.Results:The surgical procedures was successful in all the 90 cases without conversion to open surgeny. There were no statistically significant differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay among the three groups ( P>0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in hospital cost between the group without mesh and synthetic mesh and biological mesh ( P<0.05). Long-term follow-up was achieved in 87 patients, with a follow-up rate of 96.7% (87/90), and a median follow-up time of 44 months. There were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative complications (diarrhea, dysphagia, abdominal distension, chest pain), recurrence rate of symptoms (acid reflux, heartburn) and patient satisfaction among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair, the mesh should be carefully selected according to the specific intraoperative situation for a satisfactory clinical efficacy.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Most of the domestic and foreign literatures reported the mid-term and long-term effects of the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty of the mobile bearing, but few reported the mid-term and long-term clinical effects of the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty of the fixed bearing. Simultaneously, most of the studies did not analyze the knee function recovery and the lower limb force line change at different time points after the fixed bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and also ignored the follow-up of the patients’ self-feeling after the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE: To explore the mid-term clinical effect of fixed bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in the treatment of medial compartment osteoarthritis of knee joint and to observe the change of force line of lower limbs. METHODS: From January 2014 to January 2015, a retrospective analysis was made of the data of 66 patients diagnosed as osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee in the Department of Arthritis, Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 66 patients were included, including 18 males and 48 females, aged (62.36±16.33) years. The American Knee Society knee score and the hospital for special surgery knee score were used to assess the knee function before and 1, 3 and 5 years after the operation. Visual analogue scale score was utilized to evaluate the severity of knee. Forgotten joint score was used to assess the subjective feeling of prosthesis after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Hip-knee-ankle angle and tibiofemoral angle were measured using X-ray films before treatment and at follow-up to evaluate the force line of weight-bearing lower limbs. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The postoperative follow-up time was 5-6 years, averagely 5.5 years. The incision healed in the first stage. There was no early complication such as joint infection or lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, and there was no prosthesis loosening, dislocation or other diseases of the contralateral compartment and patellofemoral joint. (2) The American Knee Society knee score clinical score, American Knee Society knee score function score, hospital for special surgery knee score, knee motion range and visual analogue scale score were lower at 1, 3 and 5 years after operation than those before treatment (P 0.05). (3) Forgotten joint score was higher at 3 and 5 years after treatment than that at 1 year after treatment (P 0.05). (4) Hip-knee-ankle angle and tibiofemoral angle were significantly improved after treatment in all patients compared with those before treatment (P 0.05). (5) The results show that the mid-term clinical effect of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with fixed bearing is satisfactory, and the degree of self-prosthesis is high. After treatment, the force line of lower limbs was improved, and there was no significant change in the 5-year follow-up.
ABSTRACT
Breast cancer and thyroid diseases mostly occur in women, and both have seriously affected women's physical and mental health. Breast cancer patients have a higher risk of thyroid diseases before and after the onset of the disease compared with other malignant tumors. There are some common risk factors between them, and breast and thyroid are hormone-responsive organs, so they can also influence each other in some regulatory pathways. Iodine, thyroid hormone receptor and estrogen receptor are considered to be the possible pathogenesis of breast cancer. This paper explores the relationship between breast cancer and thyroid diseases with the help of researches in breast cancer, thyroid benign diseases, thyroid cancer, thyroid hormones and antibodies in recent years, so as to provide a basis for disease prevention and treatment.
ABSTRACT
A "general-special integrated" prevention and treatment model for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in the community was preliminarily established with the joint effets of specialists from the terital hospital and general practitioners in the community health service center.During the implementation of the model the general practitioners recieved research training and participanted in the research project of COPD management;and the "general-special integrated" outpatient clinic greatly improved the management for COPD patients.Since the establishment of the model,the number of acute attacks of COPD patients was decreased,and the proportion of standardized medication was increased.The model also improved the research ability and clinical competency of general practitioners.The established model provides experiences for the tiered-management for COPD patients in the community.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation between lymphatic metastasis and central lymph node metastasis and pre-surgery levels of serum thyrotropin (TSH), thyrobolulin (TG), anti-thyrobolulin antibodies (A-TG), anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (A-TPO) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods The clinical characteristics such as sex, age, tumor diameter, and some markers of thyroid function detection in 289 simple PTC cases were retrospectively analyzed, and their roles in lymphatic metastasis and central lymph node metastasis were discussed. Results Age < 45 years old (χ2= 5.86, P =0.02),multifocal(χ2=38.95, P<0.001), serum increased A-TG level(χ2=13.31,P <0.001) or A-TPO level (χ2= 7.30, P< 0.01) leaded to higher rate of lymphatic metastasis. Different TSH levels had different impact on lymphatic metastasis (χ2= 11.81, P = 0.02). When at 1.81-2.52 mU/L, the lowest rate of lymphatic metastasis was 34.68 %. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that focus (OR= 3.29, 95 % CI 1.85-5.52) and serum A-TG level (OR= 2.17, 95 % CI 1.11-4.26) were risk factors, whereas TSH at 1.81-2.52 mIU/L was more safe factor in simple PTC cases with lymphatic metastasis (OR= 0.28,95 % CI 0.09-0.85). Different groups of age (χ2= 11.54, P= 0.001), focal (χ2= 38.95, P< 0.001), serum TG level (χ2=9.01, P=0.01), A-TG level (χ2=14.51, P <0.001) or A-TPO level (χ2= 6.78, P= 0.02) leaded to statistically different central lymph node metastasis ending; further analysis showed that age (OR= 0.96, 95 % CI 0.94-0.98) and focus (OR= 5.47, 95 % CI 3.09-9.69) were risk factors of central lymph node metastatic in PTC patients. Conclusion Higher pre-surgery serum A-TG level and multifocal predict lymphatic metastasis, TSH level in 1.81-2.52 mU/L indicates lower rate of lymphatic metastasis, but age<45 years old and multifocal PTC patients are apt to occur central lymph node metastasis.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the difference on knowledge-attitude-practice about rational drug use in tumor patients between urban and rural in Shanxi province, and to provide evidence for further development on health education of rational drug use. Methods A questionnaire investigation was conducted among tumor inpatients in Shanxi Cancer Hospital from May 22 in 2014 to May 30 in 2014. Results A total of 990 tumor patients were involved, including 499 urban patients accounting for 50.4 % and 491 rural patients accounting for 49.6 %. The tumor patients′awareness rates of 'the purchase of antibiotics needs a prescription' in urban and rural areas were the highest, 74.9 % (374/499) and 67.0 % (329/491), respectively, and the awareness rates of 'the meaning of OTC on the medicine package' were the lowest, 22.0 % (110/499) and 18.1 % (89/491), respectively. 96.2%(480/499) urban and 92.7%(455/491) rural tumor patients had developed a correct attitude towards 'irrational drug use will affect health and even life-threatening' which ranked the highest, and the rates of correct attitude towards 'adverse drug reaction is the medical accident' were the lowest, 55.5 %(277/499) and 48.1 % (236/491), respectively. The correct behavior rates of 'read the drug instructions' in urban and rural tumor patients were the highest, 97.8% (488/499) and 95.1 % (467/491), respectively, and the correct behavior rates of 'the expired drug recovery to nearby regular pharmacy' were the lowest, 9.2 %(46/499) and 7.5 % (37/491), respectively. Conclusions The knowledge-attitude-practice about rational drug among urban and rural tumor patients in Shanxi province is not optimistic. It should be provided that individual health education in daily work in order to promote rational drug use, prolong survival time and improve the quality of life for tumor patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of the active ingredient present study curcumol impact on human glioma cell line U251 proliferation and apoptosis,its effect on the detection of apoptosis-related gene expression in glioma,and explore the possible mechanism of its anti-glioma,Chinese herbal medicine for the treatment of glioma accumulation of experimental data.Methods In cultured human glioma cell line U251 as a model to medium dilution Curcumol different concentrations,observation and detection following:MTT assay at different times,different concentrations curcumol on U251 cell proliferation;microscope Effect of different concentrations of curcumol U251 cell morphology;affected by flow cytometry curcumol different concentrations on apoptosis in U251;RT-PCR method to detect different concentrations curcumol on U251 cell apoptosis-related gene bcl-2 and COX-2 expression levels of influence.Results Curcumol U251 human glioma cell proliferation inhibition effect and showed concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Curcumol U251 human glioma cell proliferation clear.Induce apoptosis and inhibit proliferation of glioma should be an important mechanism of inhibition of proliferation effect of curcumol.Curcumol down on U251 cells bcl-2 gene expression levels and COX-2should be its induction of apoptosis,an important mechanism of inhibition of proliferation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the imaging features of benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH).Methods Imaging data were retrospectively collected and reviewed in 11 patients with pathologically proved BFH.Of the 11 patients,X-ray was performed in all patients,MR scans in 6 patients,and CT scans in 4 patients.Results ALL lesions detected were a solitary lesion.The distribution of BFH was in the tibia (n =5 ),femur ( n =3),fibula ( n =1 ),sacrum ( n =1 ),and thoracic vertebrae ( n =1 ).X-ray features included eccentric osteolytic lesions in 7 patients and centric in 2 patients,with clear boundary and thinning of the cortex,and 7 patients with varying degrees of ossified border were found. CT scan shows bone destruction with density similar to soft tissue.The majority of lesions ( n =3 ) were observed in the expanding shell of bone,2 patients in the tibia and 1 patient in the thoracic lesions with cortical bone perforation.The thoracic lesion as soft tissue mass was detected. All of the lesions detected in CT showed no periosteal reaction.In patients with MR images,hypo to isointense signal intensity on T1WI and hyperintense signal intensity on T2WI was found. All lesions on post-contrast T1WI were detected with homogeneous or heterogeneous lesion with moderate or significant enhancement.Conclusion Imaging features were typical for MFH which is useful tool helping correct diagnosis of MFH.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of penile erectile dysfunction (ED) on the quality of life in male renal transplant recipients.Methods 150 cases of male married recipients undergoing renal transplantation were selected randomly.The recipients were divided into ED group (n =63) and non-ED group (n =87) through the IIEF-5 score.The Short Form-36 Health Status Survey (SF-36)and Hamilton Anxiety Scale were used to compare their living quality and the state of mental health between the two groups,respectively.Results The SF-36 scores in ED group in General Health,Vitality,Social Function,Role Limitation due to Emotional Problems,Mental Health were significantly lower than those in non-ED group (P＜0.05).There were 13 cases in ED group with anxiety disorders (20.6％),significantly more than in non-ED group (3.4％),P＜0.05.Conclusion ED is an important influencing factor for the quality of life in male kidney transplant recipients.
