ABSTRACT
Objective This study was to analyze the early and long-term effect of completion pneumonectomy.Methods Retrospective analysis was made on the patients who underwent completion pneummonectomy in Shanghai Chest Hospital.Results There were totally 56 cases patients underwent completion pneumonectomy during January 2003 to July 2013.Among them,45 patients received CCP,and other 11 patients received RCP.CCP refers to the complete removal of lung tissue remaining after an initial ipsilateral partial pulmonary resection.RCP refers to the complete removal of residual lung due to the severe complications after pneumonectomy.The mortality and morbidity rate of CCP were 4.4％ and 33.3％ respectively.In the case of CCP,the incidence of benign lesions is significantly higher than the incidence of malignant tumor(80.0％ vs 27.5％,P =0.04).The mortality and morbidity rate of RCP were 27.3％ and 90.9％ respectively.In the case of RCP,higher postoperative mortality often occurs in aged patients (P =0.046) and patients with preoperatie mechanical ventilation (P =0.03).Overall five-year survival rate for patients with benign lesions was 80％,and for malignant lung cancer patients,the number was 30％.Survival time differs according to the TNM staging(a median of 60.0 months,35.0 months,10.0 months,stage Ⅰ,stage Ⅱ,stage Ⅲ,P ＜0.01),and survival rate was higher when the time interval(between the initial pulmonary resection and the completion pneumonectomy) ＞ 2 years(a median of 60.0 months,18.0 months,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Completion pneumonectomy is a high-risk surgery,especially RCP.Advanced age and preoperative mechanical ventilation are associated with higher postoperative mortality rate for RCP.As for CCP,higher postoperative risk exists in patients with benign lesions,but the survival rate is also higher.In patients with malignant lung tumor,survival rate is higher when the time interval (between the initial pulmonary resection and the completion pneumonectomy) ＞2 year.
ABSTRACT
Background and purpose: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common gastrointestinal cancers. There were about 1.36 million new cases of colorectal cancer, which was the third highest incidence of malignant tu-mors of the world in 2012. It was the fourth leading cause of cancer death and became a serious threat to human health. The aim of the study was to estimate the colorectal cancer burden in Hebei Province with the data of cancer registries areas and analyze the trend of colorectal cancer mortality rates with three of the Hebei Province death retrospective surveys. Methods: Nine cancer registries in Hebei Province submitted cancer registry data from 2010 to 2012 to the Hebei Provincial Cancer Registry Center. The pooled data were stratified by gender and age (0, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14…80+). Proportions and incidence/mortality rates for colorectal cancer were calculated. Incidence and mortality rates were age-standardized to Chinese population census in 2000 and world Segi's population standard. Colorectal cancer mortal-ity data during the periods 1973-1975, 1990-1992 and 2004-2005 were extracted from the death retrospective surveys and analyzed. Mortality and incidence rate data from Cixian County from 1988 to 2012 and Shexian County from 2000 to 2012 were obtained in each county and analyzed using Joinpoint regression model. Results: The estimated number of newly diagnosed colorectal cancer cases and deaths from 2010 to 2012 in cancer registry areas of Hebei Provinc were 2303 and 1229, respectively. The crude incidence rate of colorectal cancer was 16.48/100000 (male 18.12/100000 and female 14.77/100000). The age-standardized incidence rate by Chinese population census (ASRC) in 2000 was 13.74/100000. The colorectal cancer mortality rate was 8.79/100000 (male 10.23/100000 and female 7.31/100000). The age-standardized mortality rate by Chinese population census (ASRC) in 2000 was 7.59/100000. The mortality rates of colorectal cancer displayed a significant increasing trend in Hebei Province from 1973-1975 to 2010-2012, with an increased rate of 28.03%. In Cixian County, the annual percentage change (APC) of colorectal cancer incidence rate was 3.55, while the APC of colorectal cancer mortality rate was 1.64 for males from 1988 to 2012. In Shexian County, the APC of colorectal cancer incidence rates were 4.68 and 9.17 for males and females from 2000 to 2012, respectively;the APC of colorectal cancer mortality was 5.61 for males in Shexian County. Conclusion: The incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer showed an increasing trend in Hebei Province over the past 40 years. It is an important task that colorectal cancer screening is strengthened to reduce morbidity and mortality of the colorectal cancer in Hebei Province.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the morbidity rate and risk factors of post-stroke depression in middle-aged and elderly per-sons with the stroke .Methods From March 2011 to March 2012 ,68 cases of stroke patients were followed up for 6 months after the first stroke .Hamilton Depression Scale-17 ,Activity of Daily Living Scale ,Eysenck Personality Questionnaire ,Scores of Neuro-logical Deficit and Family APGAR Index were used to investigate the morbidity rate and risk factors of PSD in 6 months after the attack of stroke .Results The morbidity rate of PSD was 36 .76% (25/68) in 6 months after the first stroke .Logistic regression a-nalysis indicated that the morbidity rate of PSD was without a clear relationship with age ,whether or not combined with basic disea-ses ,personality ,daily life ability and neurologic impairment .It was closely related with stroke position ,gender ,economy and family care .Conclusion The morbidity rate of PSD is considerable and the major risk factors of PSD are female ,left brain stroke ,poor e-conomic condition and lack of family care .
ABSTRACT
Objective The purpose of the study was to understand the epidemiological tendency and distribution of the disease across Qinghai province, so as to serve for the development of a scientific system for prevention and treatment. Methods Multi-stage lamination stochastic group sampling was applied in the study, with 6 counties randomly selected. The total sample size was 19 201 while the study was conducted in the format of indoor visit. For residents younger than 18 years of age, a questionnaire was distributed to them to obtain related basic information. While for those older than 18, an in-depth survey was conducted. In addition to the measurement of height, weight, blood pressure, 10% of the samples underwent a testing on blood sugar. A database was then developed via Epi Data 3.02 and all the data was processed and classified via Foxpro and SPSS 13.0 software. Results The overall morbidity rate was 67.76%, with females significantly higher than males. The morbidity rate was fixed at 65.85% after weighted by region. The morbidity rate increased significantly with age. The top 5 diseases identified would include those from digestive system (28.74%), heart cranial vascular (27.27%), rheumatism and bone joint (19.97%), respiratory system (12.46%), biography reproductive system (8.64%) and urinary system (7.39%). Data from by-region analysis showed that the morbidity rate was the highest in pastoral area (70.17%), followed by villages (66.32%) and cities (61.86%), while the kinds of top diseases in those regions were also different. Data from unhealthy lifestyle showed that 22.16% of the provincial population smoked cigarettes, 17.16% drank alcohol, and the rate of obesity was 3.41%. Conclusion Significant differences in morbidity rates among different regions and different genders were found while the prevalence rates of disease significantly increased along with age.
ABSTRACT
The diagnosis of diabetics itself was frequently delayed in diabetic patients diagnosed over 30 years old. Therefore, fundus examination should be carried out at the time of diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the delayed time of the initial fundus examination by ophthalmologists after diagnosis of diabetes and the reason for not having fundus examination in diabetic patients diagnosed when they were over 30 years of age. From January, 1998 to July, 1998, two hundred fifty-seven such diabetic patients were examined fundus for the first time in Department of Ophthalmology of the Kyungpook National University Hospital. Among these patients,the average delayed time of the initial fundus examination by ophthalmologists after the diagnosis of diabetes was 6.2 years and the morbidity rate was 39.7% (102 patients). At these patients,mild,moderate and severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy were 22.6% (58 patients), 10.1% (26 patients),2.7% (7 patients)respectively and proliferative diabetic retinopathy was 4.3% (11 patients). In conclustion, the delayed fundus examination was due to not knowing about timely necessity of the fundus examination. Diabetic patients as well as doctors who treat them should beeducated for the fundus examination at the time of diagnosis.
