RESUMO
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Hubei province, and to provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC patients with COPD. Methods A total of 246 NSCLC patients admitted to our hospital from 2018 to 2020 were selected and divided into control group (without COPD, n=125) and observation group (with COPD, n=121) according to COPD. The clinical characteristics of chest pain, hemoptysis, emasculation, atelectasis and pleural effusion were compared between the two groups. The values of FEV1/FVC, RV/TLC and DLCO in the two groups were measured by pulmonary function detector. The age, gender, smoking, smoking history, proportion of lung squamous cell carcinoma, TNM stage and other clinical data of all subjects were analyzed by self-made survey scale of our hospital. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of COPD in NSCLC patients. Results Among 246 NSCLC patients, 121 patients (49.19%) were complicated with COPD, including 76 males and 45 females, and there was a statistical difference between the two groups (χ2=4.891, P>0.05). The average age of the observation group (61.02±4.82) was significantly higher than that of the control group (59.76±4.73) (t=2.069, P0.05). Male (OR=2.982), smoking history (OR=2.623) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (OR=3.147) were risk factors for COPD in NSCLC patients (P<0.05). Conclusions NSCLC patients with COPD are more common in male smokers in Hubei Province, often accompanied by pleural effusion , severe hemoptysis and other symptoms , and their lung function is decreased. Early detection and standardized treatment of COPD in the treatment of NSCLC can improve the prognosis of patients.
RESUMO
_ Objective_ To evaluate the efficacy of unilateral subtotal adrenalectomy in the treatment of bilateral adrenal solitary neoplasma causing Cushing's syndrome and to elaborate the therapeutic principle. Methods From 2007 to 2013, a total of ten patients were diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome caused by bilateral solitary adrenal neoplasma. We compared patients'clinical symptoms, hormone profiles, biochemical and metabolic parameters, and imaging data before and after the surgery. Five of them chose the optimal neoplasma based on the lateralization ratio of adrenal venous sampling result and the other 5 patients chose the optimal neoplasma based on the diameter of the mass reflected by the computed tomography result and were then operated. Results After the unilateral subtotal adrenalectomy,the24-hour urinary free cortisol decreased significantly(P<0.05)and the midnight serum cortisol level also significantly reduced(P<0. 01). Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone level increased significantly(P<0. 01). Nine patients of them did not need contralateral adrenalectomy and one patient received contralateral adrelectomy because of the remnant of Cushingnoid symptoms. Conclusion Unilateral subtotal adrenalectomy is an effective and safe way to treat Cushing's syndrome caused by bilateral solitary neoplasma.
