RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive T 1-2N 1M 0 breast cancer in the context of HER2-targeted therapy. Methods:This study collected the clinical data of 105 female patients with HER2-positive T 1-2N 1M 0 breast cancer who underwent modified radical mastectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2013 to December 2019. Then, the clinical outcomes of these patients were observed, and the prognostic factors and the efficacy of PMRT were analyzed. Results:The median follow-up time was 50 months (ranging from 14 to 107 months), and the 5-year overall survival (OS), local-regional recurrence-free survival(LRFS), and disease-free survival (DFS) were 81.6%, 91.9%, and 76.2%, respectively. The multivariate analysis indicated that independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS include the age, pathologic grade, and tumor size; the independent risk factors for LRFS include positive lymph node ratio (LNR) and hormone receptor (HR) status; and the independent prognostic factor for DFS was PMRT (HR: 2.85, 95% CI: 1.10-8.80, P < 0.05). The subgroup analysis suggested that PMRT significantly improved the OS of various high-risk subgroups ( χ2=4.01-9.18, P < 0.05). However, the further stratified analysis indicated that PMRT only increased the OS of the patients who did not receive HER2-targeted therapy in various high-risk subgroups ( χ2=4.50-6.70, P < 0.05), while there was no statistical difference before and after PMRT for the individuals who received targeted treatment ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:PMRT is an independent prognostic factor for the DFS of patients with HER2-positive T 1-2N 1M 0 breast cancer who underwent modified radical mastectomy. PMRT can improve the OS of high-risk patients with ages < 45 years old, pathologic grade Ⅲ, tumor diameter ≥ 3 cm, LNR > 10%, and HR (-) who received no HER2-targeted therapy. However, the efficacy may be compromised to some extent in the context of the application of HER2-targeted therapy.
RESUMEN
Objective:To compare carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) in perioperative, medium and long term prognosis of patients with carotid artery stenosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 1 329 cases of carotid artery stenosis treated at Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Anzhen Hospital from Jan 2011 to Aug 2020, as all cases being divided into CAS group and CEA group.Results:There were significant differences in age ( t=0.098, P=0.023) and drinking habits ( χ2=8.055, P=0.005) between the two groups. There were more unstable plaques in CEA group ( χ2=4.392, P=0.038), and more bilateral lesions in CAS group ( χ2=9.673, P=0.038). In perioperative period, there were more mannitol use in CEA group ( χ2=78.614, P<0.001), more incision/puncture site complications ( χ2=5.158, P=0.035), lung infection ( χ2=6.355, P=0.013), cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) ( χ2=5.158, P=0.035) and extracranial nerve injury ( χ2=23.760, P<0.001) in CEA group than in CAS group, and more acute renal failure in CAS group ( χ2=10.393, P=0.001). There was no significant difference in survival rate and ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and renal insufficiency between the two groups (all P>0.05). The mean survival time of CAS group was 53.195 months (95% CI: 52.040-54.350), and 54.492 months (95% CI: 53.790-55.195) in CEA group ( P=0.051). Conclusions:Patients in CEA group had more unstable plaque and a lower perioperative stroke rate. CEA group had higher risk of CHS,while CAS was with lower postoperative lung infection rate and less wound local complications. There was no significant difference in long-term survival between the two groups.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) in patients with severe bilateral carotid stenosis.Methods From Jul 2003 to Sep 2017,unilateral CEA or CAS were performed in 1 046 patients,213 of which were with severe bilateral carotid stenosis.These 213 patients were divided into CEA group and CAS group according to procedures taken.The perioperative outcomes of 213 patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results The incidence of typical cerebral ischemia symptoms of CEA group was higher than that in CAS group (25.3% vs.13.3%,P =0.029).The incidence of perioperative death or stroke in CEA group was 5.63% (4/71),which had no significant difference with that in CAS group (2.82%,4/142) (P =0.524).Conclusion Based on adequate preoperative assessment and reasonable surgical selection,CEA and CAS are both safe and feasible for the unilateral lesion during one-stage operation for patients with severe bilateral carotid stenosis
RESUMEN
Objective We reviewed data pertaining to fenestrated endograft technique and chimney stent repair of complex aortic aneurysm for comparative analysis of the outcomes. Methods A comprehensive search of relevant databases was conducted to identify articles in English, related to the treatment of complex aortic aneurysm with fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and chimney stent repair, published until January 2015. Results A total of 42 relevant studies and 2264 patients with aortic aneurysm undergoing fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and chimney stent repair were included in our review. A total of 4413 vessels were involved in these processes. The cumulative 30-day mortality was 2.4% and 3.2% ( p = 0.459). The follow-up aneurysm-related mortality was 1.4% and 3.2% ( p = 0.018), and target organ dysfunction was 5.0% and 4.0% in fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and chimney stent repair, respectively ( p = 0.27). A total of 156 vessels showed restenosis or occlusion after primary intervention (3.6% and 3.4% in fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and chimney stent repair, respectively, p = 0.792). The cumulative type I endoleak was 2.0% (38/1884) after fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair compared with 3.4% (13/380) after chimney stent repair ( p = 0.092), and the type II endoleak was 5.4% (102/1884) and 5.3% (20/380), respectively ( p = 0.905). Approximately, 1.1% and 1.6% increase in aneurysm was observed following fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and chimney stent repair, respectively ( p = 0.437). The re-intervention frequency was 205 and 19 cases after fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and chimney stent repair, respectively (11.7%, 5.6%, p = 0.001). Conclusions Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and chimney stent repair are safe and effective in treating patients with complex aortic aneurysm. A higher aneurysm-related mortality was observed in chimney stent repair while fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair was associated with a higher re-intervention rate.
