RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the prognosis of patients with liver metastasis or local recurrence after radical resection of rectal cancer,in order to provide reference for the further screening of high-risk patients for the precise therapeutic methods.Methods:The clinicopathological factor and follow-up data of 485 patients who underwent surgical treatment for rectal cancer from March 2005 to January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.Including 75 liver metastasis and 32 local recurrence.The prognosis were compared between the patients with liver metastasis and with local recurrence.Results:The difference was statistically significant in CEA level,primary tumor position,surgical methods,tumor cell differentiation,tumor infiltration depth between liver metastasis and local recurrence after radical resection of rectal cancer (P＜0.05).The 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival rates were 76.6％,53.1％ and 18.8％ respectively of patients with liver metastasis,The 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival rates were 81.3％,62.5％ and 37.5％ respectively of patients with local recurrence,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion:There were different clinicopathological characteristics of patients between liver metastasis and local recurrence.The prognosis of patients with local recurrence was better than patients with liver metastasis.
RESUMEN
Objective To improve the recognition and diagnosis of pulmonary Lophomonas blattarum infection. Methods Two cases of bronchopulmonary Lophomonas blattanan diagnosed in this hospital were reported. The clinical features of 13 cases in the literature during the period of 1993 to 2006,1 case with sinus infection and 12 cases with bronchopulmonary infection, were also analyzed. Results For the 2 cases diagnosed in this hospital, severe asthma and bronchiectasis withprolonged infection were the underlying diseases, respectively. The diagnosis of these 2 cases and the 13 cases reported in the literature were all confirmed by the presence of parasites in airway samples. The most common symptoms included fever (64.3% ), cough and expectoration (71.4%). Fifty percent of the patients showed increased eosinophils in peripheral blood. Chest radiograph and CT scan showed changes similar to pneumonia(83.3%). Chronic cases were manifested with asthma attack, branchiectasis or lung abscess. Smear preparations of sputum or specimen by bronchoscopy were direct methods for diagnosis. Conclusion Pulmonary Lophonomas blattarum infection is an emerging infectious disease caused by protozoon of hypermastigote parasitized in the bronchus or the lung. Epidemiological characteristics including host, route of transmission and susceptible population of Lophomonas blattarum infection are not fully understood. The optimal treatment also needs further investigation.
