RESUMO
BACKGROUND@#There is no standard treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after the failure of two lines of chemotherapy, S-1 as the third generation of fluorouracil derivate with well safety and low toxicity, presented some efficacy in lung cancer treatment. The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy of S-1 for advanced NSCLC patients treated with two or more prior chemotherapy regimens.@*METHODS@#We performed a retrospective analysis of 105 NSCLC patients treated with S-1 monotherapy or S-1 contained chemotherapy as the third or more line of treatment in our hospital from January 2014 to April 2017. S-1 was administrated orally twice daily for 2 weeks, followed by one week of rest, the dose of drug was determined by body surface area (<1.25 m2, 80 mg/d; 1.25 m2-1.5 m2, 100 mg/d; ≥1.5 m2, 120 mg/d), platinum or the third-generation chemotherapy drugs could be combinedly used. Clinical response was assigned every cycle according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate progression-free survival (PFS).@*RESULTS@#42 patients received S-1 monotherapy, the other 63 patients received combined regimens, the median treatment line was 4 (3-11) and the median treatment cycle was 2 (1-14). No complete response (CR) were observed, there were 4 patients with partial response (PR), 34 patients with stable disease (SD) and 67 patients with progressive disease (PD), the objective response rate (ORR) was 3.81%, disease control rate (DCR) was 36.19%. The median PFS was 1.90 months (0.67 months-10.83 months), no difference between monotherapy and combined group (DCR: 28.56% vs 41.27%, P=0.185), the liver metastasis showed poorer PFS (1.40 months vs 1.93 months , P=0.042).@*CONCLUSIONS@#S-1 presented some activity in advanced NSCLC treated with more than two lines of treatment. The addition of other drugs cannot improve efficacy. S-1 monotherapy can be used as a choice for heavily-treated patients.

AIM:To explore the cataract suspensory ligament rupture and artificial lens implantation suture fixation into capsular bag without capsular tension ring(CTR).METHODS:We reviewed 20 cases of 20 cataract suspensory ligament rupture without CTR intraocular lens (IOL) implantation fixation in our department from Jan.2012 to Dec.2016.The needle crossed into ocular ciliary sulcus, in the equator of the eye ball which suspensory ligament rupture from, then the needle crossed out 1.5mm away from the angle of sclera.Sutures fixed on the IOL, then the artificial lens implantation in the pouch, carried out in accordance with the Z type suture, or to the beforehand prepared triangle scleral flap.The visual acuity, intraocular pressure, the anterior chamber and the IOL position were measured after operations.RESULTS:All of the postoperative visual acuity improved different level.The postoperative best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) was ≥0.8 in 4 eyes(20%), 0.5-0.6 in 7 eyes(35%), 0.3-0.4 in 8 eyes(40%), 0.1 in 1 eye(5%) because of the glaucoma optic atrophy.There were 12 cases with mild corneal endothelium edema, 4 cases exudation membrane in the pupil area, 2 cases hyphema, all of which recovered after treatment.There were 2 eyes with vitreous prolapse in the pupil, 1 case appeared mild IOL center deviation and no special treatment for the vision did not be involved.Followed up for 6mo, displaced stitches or artificial lens shift did not occur.CONCLUSION:Without CTR, the IOL implantation and suture fixation in capsular bag during cataract surgery is a surgical method for basic-level hospitals.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the safety and efficacy of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) in preventing chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in patients with breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to provide the basis for clinical application.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>According to the principle of open-label, randomized, parallel-group controlled clinical trial, all patients were randomized by 1∶1∶1 into three groups to receive PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg, or rhG-CSF 5 μg/kg, respectively. The patients with breast cancer received two chemotherapy cycles, and the NSCLC patients received 1-2 cycles of chemotherapy according to their condition. All patients were treated with the combination chemotherapy of TAC (docetaxel+ epirubicin+ cyclophosphamide) or TA (docetaxel+ epirubicin), or the chemotherapy of docetaxel combined with carboplatin, with a 21 day cycle.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The duration of grade 3-4 neutropenia in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg and PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg groups were similar with that in the rhG-CSF 5 μg/kg group (P>0.05 for all). The incidence rate of grade 3-4 neutropenia in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg group, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg group, and G-CSF 5 μg/kg group were 69.7%, 68.4%, and 69.5%, respectively, with a non-significant difference among the three groups (P=0.963). The incidence rate of febrile neutropenia in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg group, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg group and G-CSF 5 μg/kg group were 6.1%, 6.4%, and 5.5%, respectively, showing no significant difference among them (P=0.935). The incidence rate of adverse events in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg group, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg group and G-CSF 5 μg / kg group were 6.7%, 4.1%, and 5.5%, respectively, showing a non-significant difference among them (P=0.581).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>In patients with breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing TAC/TA chemotherapy, a single 100 μg/kg injection or a single fixed 6 mg dose of PEG-rhG-CSF at 48 hours after chemotherapy show definite therapeutic effect with a low incidence of adverse events and mild adverse reactions. Compared with the continuous daily injection of rhG-CSF 5 μg/kg/d, a single 100 μg/kg injection or a single fixed 6 mg dose of PEG-rhG-CSF has similar effect and is more advantageous in preventing chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.</p>

Objective To compare the efficacy and adverse effects of erlotinib versus vinorelbine naive patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation.Methods Totally 46 elderly patients with histologically confirmed advanced NSCLC and EGFR mutations (exon 19 dclction or L858R point mutation) were enrolled.Patients were randomly divided into two groups:erlotinib group (43 cases,150mg per day until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities) and control group (21 cases,vinorelbine-based chemotherapy,single vinorelbine chemotherapy or vinorelbine-based double chemotherapy).Results Response rates and disease control rates were significantly improved with erlotinib compared with vinorelbine (78.6% and 88.1% vs.38.1% and 61.9%,respectively,P< 0.05).There was a significant difference in median progression-free survival (11.6 months vs.5.6 months,P<0.05),while no statistical difference in median overall survival with erlotinib compared with vinorelbine (19.0months vs.16.5 months,P=0.193).The most frequent adverse effects were grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ and no patients stopped treatment due to adverse effects and no drug-relatcd death.The primary adverse effects were skin rash (71.4%),diarrhea (31.0%)and liver dysfunction (23.8%) in the erlotinib group and neutropenia (66.7%),nausea or vomit (47.6%),anemia (42.9%),platelet decline (33.3%),constipation (33.3%) and peripheral neuritis (23.8%) in the vinorelbine group.Vinorelbine group versus erlotinib group have more 3-4 level adverse reactions (15/21 vs.7/42)(x2=1.69,P=0.193).Conclusions Erlotinib treatment has advances in PFS,ORR and DCR and tolerability compared with vinorelbine-based chemotherapy in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC and EGFR mutation,while overall survival is in no difference.Erlotinib may be a reasonable first-line treatment option for elderly patients with advanced NSCLC and sensitive EGFR mutation.
RESUMO
Background and purpose: It has been proven that gefitinib can be safely and efficiently used to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as a molecule targeted drug. This research was aimed to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of gefitinib as the first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC. Methods: A total of 34 pathologically-confirmed NSCLC patients who were not willing to receive or tolerate traditional cytotoxic drug chemotherapy were enrolled into the study. Gefitinib was orally administered 250 mg daily until disease progression or the occurrence of intolerable toxicity. Results: The objective response rate of gefitinib was 29.4%. The disease control rate was 61.8%. The rate of symptom relief was 47.1%. The median progression-free survival was 3.0 months. The median overall survival was 10.2 months. One-year survival rate was 35.3%. The objective response rate of nun-smoker was higher than smoker (P=0.023). The disease control rate for the patients with rash toxicity after administration of the drug were higher than those without rash (P=0.005). Logistic regression showed that rash was an independent disease control factor (P=0.003). The most common drug-related adverse events were rash and diarrhea. Conclusion: Gefitinib provided another choice to patients who are unwilling or unable to be treated by chemotherapy.
