RESUMEN
Pancreatic cancer is a kind of digestive system tumor with insidious clinical manifestations,rapid development and very poor prognosis,and its early diagnosis and surgical treatment can significantly improve the survival rate and prognosis of patients.So far,no tumor marker with sufficient sensitivity and specificity for early pancreatic cancer has been found for tumor screening.In recent years,more and more pancreatic canc-er-related tumor markers have been discovered and studied.Liquid biopsy has shown potential utility in a range of applications,with the advantages of non-invasive,non-destructive,real-time,multiple,and has broad prospects in many aspects of tumor diagnosis and treatment.This article discusses and summarizes the screen-ing and early diagnosis of circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA in liquid biopsy,so as to provide reference for early detection and early treatment of pancreatic cancer.
RESUMEN
Objective:To assess the long-term follow-up results of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showing macrovascular invasion (MVI).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for 63 patients with HCC showing MVI without distant metastasis treated in Peking University Cancer Hospital from October 2015 to October 2018. Among them 28 patients were treated with IMRT combined with TACE and sorafenib (Group A) and 35 patients were treated with IMRT combined with TACE (Group B). Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to assess the progression-free survival (PFS) and the overall survival (OS) of both groups.Results:The median follow-up time was 62 months. Before PSM, the median OS of group A and B were 19.0 months and 15.2 months ( χ2=3.15, P=0.076), respectively, and the median PFS of groups A (10.7 months) was longer than that of group B (8.6 months; χ2=3.99, P=0.046). After PSM, the median OS of group A (30.6 months) was significantly longer than that of group B (15.2 months; χ2=5.34, P=0.023), and the PFS of groups A (12.5 months) was still longer than that of group B (8.3 months; χ2=4.79, P=0.026). In the whole group, 10 patients (15.9%) suffered from grade-3 hematologic toxicity, and seven patients (11.1%) experienced grade-3 hepatic toxicity. The incidence of skin reactions, hand-foot syndrome, and diarrhea in group A was higher than that in group B, but all these adverse events were grade 1-2. Moreover, no grade-4 adverse events, radiation-induced liver disease, and treatment-related mortality occurred in both groups. Conclusions:As demonstrated by the long-term follow-up result, IMRT combined with TACE and TKI could improve both the PFS and the OS of patients with HCC showing MVI after PSM.
RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the effect of preventive application of PEG-rhG-CSF on the prevention of neutropenia during concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with lung cancer.Methods:A total of 149 patients with lung cancer who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy at Peking University Cancer Hospital from April 2020 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 79 cases in the prevention group, including 48 cases of primary prevention group (preventive application of PEG-rhG-CSF in all concurrent chemoradiotherapy cycles) and 31 cases of secondary prevention group (preventive application of PEG-rhG-CSF in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy cycles after neutropenia occurred). There were 70 cases in non-prevention group. The incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia, the completion rate of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the rate of chemoradiotherapy dose reduction and treatment delay, and the rate of hematological toxicities related hospitalization were compared between the prevention group and the non-prevention group.Results:The incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia in the whole group was 32.2% (48/149), including 6.3% (3/48) in the primary prevention group, 9.7% (3/31) in the secondary prevention group, and 35.7% (25/70) in the non-prevention group. The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=17.81, P<0.001) in the incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia. The incidence of febrile neutropenia was 3.4% (5/149) in the whole group, but none of them occurred in the primary prevention group. The full completion rate of concurrent chemotherapy was 96.2% (76/79) in the prevention group, which was significantly higher than 82.9% (58/70) in the non-prevention group ( χ2=7.30, P=0.007). The incidence of treatment delayed and dose reduction of chemoradiotherapy was 19.0% (15/79) in the prevention group and 40.0% (28/70) in the non-prevention group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=7.98, P=0.005). Conclusions:The preventive application of PEG-rhG-CSF can effectively reduce the incidence of neutropenia and better ensure the concurrent chemoradiotherapy in lung cancer patients on schedule.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of the double eyelid plasty with incision in eyelids margin position and internal fixation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out in 47 patients who underwent double eyelid surgery in the outpatient department of our hospital from September 2015 to June 2017. There were 5 males and 42 females, aged from 17 to 32 (25±4) years. The skin was incised above the eyelid margin of 1-2 mm after anesthesia, orbicularis oculi muscle under the eyelid line, loose organization, and orbital septum fat were stripped and removed. The dermis and the tarsus were sutured under the double eyelid line, and the skin was sutured without any tension.Results:After collecting and analyzing 47 cases from September 2015 to June 2017 in our hospital with this method, we found that all 47 patients achievedⅠincision healing, which showed slight swell, natural and smooth radian of double eyelid, and without complications such as infection, hematoma and ptosis. And this method showed no obvious scar hyperplasia around incision line and thus possessed high patient satisfaction.Conclusions:With the advantage of less trauma, quick recovery, unobvious scar, natural and beartiful double eyelids, this method can be used as a supplementary method for the reconstruction of the blepharoplasty, which is worth promoting.
RESUMEN
Many studies have found that patients with supra-normal left ventricular ejection fraction (snLVEF) have long-term and short-term adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and gender differences. However, its pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. The incidence of snLVEF is widespread, accounting for 1/3 of known and suspected coronary artery diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen the understanding of snLVEF in order to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, the research status of snLVEF is reviewed in terms of the involved population, clinical prognosis, pathophysiological mechanisms, and also, the potential applications of imaging in snLVEF is briefly summarized.

Objective To investigate the influence of single agent and combined medication chemotherapy on elderly patients with gastric cancer. Methods One hundred and twenty elderly inpatients with gastric cancer in the general surgery department of the Nanyang Municipal Central Hospital from January 2009 to October 2014 were divided into the single agent chemotherapy group (n=60) and combined medication chemotherapy group(n=60). The adverse reactions and survival time were compared between the two groups. Results The occurrence rates of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, leukopenia, oral mucositis and peripheral neuropathy in the single agent group were lower than those in the combined chemotherapy group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05) ; the occurrence rates of Hb decrease, thrombocytopenia and transaminase elevation in the single agent group were lower than those in the combined chemotherapy group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0. 05);the survival time in the combined chemotherapy group was longer than that in the single agent chemotherapy group,but the difference between them was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusion Single agent chemotherapy may be considered as the first-line chemotherapy scheme for elderly patients with gastric cancer.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on surgery and prognosis in patients with stage Ⅲ gastric cancer.Methods The 90 cases staging Ⅲ gastric cancer were randomly divided into neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and surgery group.Both surgical complications and prognosis were compared.Results The overall effective rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 53% (24/45),disease control rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 91% (41/45).Blood loss (t =4.102,P =0.037),local adhesions surgery (x2 =19.756,P =0.000),local tissue necrosis (x2 =13.512,P =0.000),tissue fragility (x2 =12.870,P =0.000) number of cases found in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group were higher than surgery group,and the data were statistically significant.There were no statistically significance between two groups about operation time (t =2.391,P =0.129),tissue congestion (x2 =0.865,P =0.352),postoperative bleeding(x2 =0.720,P =0.396),postoperative fistula (x2 =1.047,P =0.306).The survival time of neoadjuvant chemotherapy group was longer than surgery group,but it was not statistically significant(t =1.086,P =0.372).Conclusions Neoadjuvant chemotherapy could reduce the stage of the gastric cancer and increase the complexity of surgery.Thus preoperative evaluation should be prepared before the surgery.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the association of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C19*2,*3,*17 with the recurrence risk of ischemic stroke during clopidogrel prevention in ethnic Han Chinese from Fujian Province.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of 985 patients with acute ischemic stroke was collected. After 1 year postdischarge follow-up evaluations, only 114 patients with persistence of clopidogrel were enrolled. CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)and direct sequencing ,then we analysis the correlation between polymorphisms and the recurrence of stroke.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among the 114 patients, 23 had a second onset whilst receiving clopidogrel treatment. During the antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel, carriers of CYP2C19 poor metabolizer (CYP2C19*2/*2 or *2/*3) had a higher rate of recurrent stroke compared with extensive metabolizers (CYP2C19*1/*1) (OR=4.71, 95%CI: 1.18-18.80, P<0.05). Carriers of CYP2C19 *2 mutant allele had increased recurrence compared with those carrying none loss-of-function allele (OR=2.31, 95%CI: 1.20-4.46, P<0.05). The rate of recurrent stroke in those carrying homozygous mutant *2 allele (CYP2C19*2/*2) was 6.14 times greater than the rate of wild-type homozygotes (CYP2C19*1/*1) (95%CI: 1.54-24.54, P<0.05). Patients with previous stroke history had increased risk of recurrence (OR= 4.146, 95%CI: 1.259-13.655, P<0.05). However, CYP2C19*17 was not detected in the group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>For ethnic Han Chinese patients receiving clopidogrel treatment, carriers of poor metabolizer or homozygous mutant *2 allele (CYP2C19*2/*2) have a higher risk of recurrent stroke. The CYP2C19 *2 allele is an independent risk factor for recurrent stroke. Those with previous history of stroke are more prone to the recurrence.</p>

RESUMEN
Objective To explore the method and the effect of combined use of laparoscopy and open surgery in the treatment of primary gallbladder cancer. Methods Pathological frozen-section examinations were carried out in all cases suspected of gallbladder cancer during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Patients in Ⅰ~Ⅱ Nevin stage received surgical removal of loose connective tissue at hepatic portal and gallbladder bed under laparoscope, while patients in stage Ⅲ or above underwent conversions to open operations of radical or extended radical resections. Results Out of the 34 cases of gallbladder cancer receiving LC, conversions to open surgery were required in 6 cases, open operations were performed after laparoscopic operation in 7 cases, and 1 patient refused further treatment. Except for 1 case of port-site cancer implantation below the xiphoid process, no other severe intra- or post- operative complications occurred. Follow-up revealed a 5-year survival rate of 80% (12/15) (survival range, 2~8 years) in 15 cases of laparoscopic surgery, and a survival duration of 8 months~4 years in 8 cases of open surgery. Conclusions Combined use of laparoscopy and open surgery in the management of variable stages of primary gallbladder cancer is effective.
