Lenvatinib mesylate is an oral receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor against targets of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3, fibroblast growth factor receptors 1-4, platelet-derived growth factor receptor α, stem cell growth factor receptor, and rearranged during transfection, et al. Lenvatinib has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration of China on September 4,2018, for the first-line treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who have not received systematic treatment before. Up to February 2023, Lenvatinib has been listed in China for more than 4 years, accumulating a series of post-marketing clinical research evidences. Based on the clinical practice before and after the launch of lenvatinib and referring to the clinical experience of other anti-angiogenesis inhibitors, domestic multidisciplinary experts and scholars adopt the Delphi method to formulate the Chinese Expert Guidance on Overall Application of Lenvatinib in Hepatocellular Carcinoma after repeated discussions and revisions, in order to provide reference for reasonable and effective clinical application of lenvatinib for clinicians.

Advances in targeted therapy combined with immunotherapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma / 临床肝胆病杂志

The IMbrave 150 study opened the door of immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy, and then the data of ORIENTAL-32, a Phase Ⅲ clinical trial for Chinese patients, was released, which confirmed the efficacy of immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy, especially significant survival benefits in Chinese patients. At present, there are many ongoing studies on PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and their corresponding early data provide a considerable objective response rate, which provides an opportunity for conversion therapy/sequential therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma in different stages and courses, as well as a basis for further exploration of neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy. Combined immunotherapy has entered the era of version 3.0, in which reasonable local therapy can be implemented at different stages in combination with targeted drugs. However, there are still no accurate predictive indicators for efficacy, and it requires comprehensive consideration of the features such as the natural course of the disease, clinicopathological parameters, genomics, and radiomics. Compared with single-drug immunotherapy or single-drug targeted therapy, immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy had a relatively complex spectrum of adverse reactions and difficult identification of correlation, and whole-process management, comprehensive judgment, and timely treatment should be performed within the framework of multidisciplinary team.

Concept and research progress of precancerous lesions / 中华肝脏病杂志

The concept of precancerous lesions was first proposed in 1948. With the progress of animal models, genetic analysis, clinical pathology, and imaging studies, precancerous lesions have received much attention, and the reversion of precancerous lesions has also attracted widespread concern. Precancerous lesions are not cancers, nor are they early stages of cancer. They are qualitatively different from cancers; precancerous lesions are only a small part of them which may develop into cancer. It is of great significance to pay attention to the management of diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions for the prevention, treatment and maintenance of people's physical and mental health.

Research progress of neuromelanin and the pathogenesis of Parkinson′s disease / 中华神经科杂志

Parkinson′s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. Its main pathological feature is the progressive loss of substantia nigra and other catecholaminergic neurons containing neuromelanin (NM). Therefore, NM may be closely related to the pathogenesis of PD. The content of NM can be detected by NM magnetic sensitive sequence imaging, and then it can be applied to the study of the neuropathological mechanism of NM and PD. This paper focuses on the physiological significance of NM, its role in the pathogenesis of PD and the prospect of NM as a biomarker to assist diagnosis and disease monitoring of PD.

Interventional therapy for common bile duct stones: analysis of curative effect / 介入放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate the clinical curative effect of multiple interventional techniques with skilled manipulation in treating common bile duct stones. Methods The clinical data of 36 patients with common bile duct stones, who were treated with percutaneous transhepatic puncture of intrahepatic bile duct and multiple interventional techniques, were retrospectively analyzed. Before operation, according to CT or MRI findings the optimal puncture path was selected to perform cholangiography so as to reconfirm the position, number and size of the stones. Depending on the size of the stone, the corresponding sized lithotripsy basket and balloon were selected. The duodenal papilla was dilated by balloon, and the stone was pushed into the duodenum with a balloon. After complete removal of stones, the internal and external biliary drainage tubes were routinely implanted and remained there for two weeks. Results The operation was successfully accomplished in 35 patients, the success rate was 97.2％. Successful removal of stones with single procedure was accomplished in 32 patients, and in 3 patients the complete removal of stones was achieved by secondary procedure. No serious complications were observed during the operation. Early postoperative complications included hyperamylasemia (n=2), bile peritonitis (n=2), small amount of bloody bile (n=3) . No biliary perforation occurred. Conclusion In treating common bile duct stones, the combination use of multiple interventional techniques with skilled manipulation has high success rate, low risk and less complications, therefore, it is an effective therapeutic method

Research progress of respiratory dysfunction in Parkinson's disease / 中华神经科杂志

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common disabling and neurodegenerative disease.As the disease progresses,the patient's respiratory system will be affected.PD leads to obstructive and restrictive airway diseases,and PD medications may produce pulmonary side effects,such as pleuropulmonary fibrosis related to dopamine agonists.Finally,motor fluctuations in advanced PD may trigger respiratory symptoms.Abnormal central control of ventilation,obstructive sleep apnea,emotional disorders will influence respiratory system.Recognizing these pulmonary complications will assist the clinician in appropriately managing the disease and potentially reducing the impact of the abnormal respiratory system on overall PD patient health.

The prevalence of organ failure and its risk factors in patients with severe acute pancreatitis / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective To determine the prevalence of organ failure and its risk factors in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). Method A retrospective analysis was conducted in 186 patients, who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit of Jinzhong First People's Hospital with SAP between March 2000and October 2009. SAP patients met the diagnostic criteria of SAP set by Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association in 2006. The variables included age, gender, etiology of SAP, the number of comorbidit, APACHE Ⅱ score, CECT pancreatic necrosis, CT Severity Index ( CTSI ), abdomen compartment syndrome (ACS) ,the number of organ failure and the number of death. The prevalence and mortality of organ failure were calculated. The above-mentioned variables were analyzed by unconditional multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine the independent risk factors for organ failure in SAP. Results Of 186 patients, 96had organ failure. In 96 patients with organ failure, 47 died. There was a significant association between the prevalence of organ failure and age, the number of comorbidit, APACHE Ⅱ score, CECT pancreatic necrosis, CTSI, ACS. An increase in age, the number of comorbidit, APACHE Ⅱ score, CECT pancreatic necrosis correlated with an increase in the number of organ failure. Age, the number of comorbidit, APACHE Ⅱ score,CECT pancreatic necrosis, CTSI and ACS went into the unconditional multivariate logistic regression equation. Conclusions Organ failure occurred in 51.6% of 186 patients with SAP. The mortality of SAP with organ failure is 49.0%. Age, the number of comorbidit, APACHE Ⅱ score, CECT pancreatic necrosis,CTSI and ACS are independent risk factors of organ failure.

Methods The k-ras mutation of 139 samples collected from our hospital were tested by pyrophosphoric acid sequencing. Twenty-three advanced colorectal cancer patients were treated with chemotherapy combined with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, including 3 initial treated and 20 retreated. In the total 23 patients, 18 were treated with cetuximab and chemotherapy, and S were treated with nimotuzumab and chemotherapy. Cetuximab was taken with 400 mg/m2 first time, and then 250 mg/m2 every week. Nimotuzumab was taken with 400 mg first time, and then 200 mg every week. Eight patients of the total 23 received anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody combined with irinotecan, 12 with FOLFIRI, 3 with FOLFOX4. Results k-ras mutation type (mt) was detected in 39.6 % (55/139) of pts, k-ras wild type (wt) was 60.4 % (94/139). In 22 effect evaluable patients, 5 received PR and 9 SD, and RR and DCR were 22.7 % and 63.6 %, respectively. TTP was 124 days. Thirteen of the 22 patients tested k-ras mutation, of the 11 k-ras mt pts, 4 received PR, 4 SD and 3 PD. Two patients of k-ras mt received PD after 2 cycles treatment. Acneform eruptions were observed in 15 patients of 18 pts who received cetuximab and paronychia in 3 pts. Eruption or paronychia was not observed in all patients who received nimotuzumab. Grade 3 hypersensitivity were occured in 2 patients with cetuximab, and one of them alternated nimotuzumab in next cycle didn't get hypersensitivity any more. Conclusion The mutation rate of k-ras in Chinese colorectal cancer patients was similar with westerners. The effect of cetuximab combined with chemotherapy on advanced colorectal cancer was reliable. Nimotuzumab combined with chemotherapy worth to be studied further because of the promising effect and mild toxicity.
