Objective To investigate the correlation between the inflammatory-nutritional index (INI) and recurrence and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer. Methods A total of 78 cases patients of gastric cancer with recurrence and 64 cases without recurrence were enrolled. INI was calculated by the ratio of serum albumin and C-reactive protein. The value of INI predicting recurrence was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). According to this value, the Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis were used to evaluate the effect of INI on prognosis. Results Compared with the control group, the recurrence group showed smaller INI, larger tumors, lower degree of differentiation, deeper invasion and higher TNM stage, the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01); The INI significantly predicted the recurrence of gastric cancer, with a sensitivity of 62.5%, specificity of 79.5% and critical value of 0.36 (P < 0.01); Additionally, The pathological features were worse in the low INI group than the high INI group , the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01); The INI significantly predicted the prognosis of gastric cancer, with a sensitivity of 65.9%, specificity of 66.8% and the critical value of 0.34 (P < 0.01); Obviously, the survival rate was lower in the low INI group than the high INI group (48.8% vs 25.0%, P < 0.01). Furthermore, INI was an independent risk factor for prognosis of gastric cancer (OR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.34 ~ 2.59, P < 0.01). Conclusion The INI is closely related to the characteristics of gastric cancer, it is an effective marker to predict recurrence and prognosis of gastric cancer.

ObjectiveTo study relevant factors for the postoperative recurrence in patients of nodular goiter. Method Nine clinical factors were recruited for the study in relation to postoperative recurrence of 230 patients with nodular goiter.Data were analyzed by ? 2 test and Logistic regression.Result Two independent factors were found significantly in relation to recurrence(B=-1 652?6,B=1 070?7, P
Résumé
Objective To elucidate the relationship between Child-Pugh grading and the degree of hep- atic cirrhosis.Method Six patients each with hepatic cirrhosis in Child-Pugh grade A and B were selected.The livers were observed with gross examinations during operation,and the liver specimens were observed with gross ex- aminations and also checked with light and electron microscopies.Results With naked eyes,it was quite difficult to find differences in size,shape and between different Child-Pugh grades.With hght microscopy,hepatic fibrosis of Ⅰ-Ⅱ degrees was commomly seen in Child-Pugh grade A and necrosis of hepatic cells was slight,while fibrosis of Ⅲ-Ⅴ degrees was usually found in grade B and necrosis was severe.With electron microscopy the collagen fib- rils in Disse's spaces were white cloud-like in grade A,while they were band-like in grade B.Of swelling and de- generation of organellae of hepatic and Kupffer cells,they were worse in grade B than in grade A.Conclusion The parameters in Child-Pugh grading are not complex,but they can be used to evaluate the degree of lesions. There is a positive relationship between them.
