Objective To analyze the clincopathological features and prognosis of 77 colorectal cancer patients with synchronous liver metastases after resection of the primary tumors.Methods Seventy seven colorec-tal cancer patients with synchronous liver metastases who underwent resection of the primary tumors and patholog-ical confirmed were enrolled in this retrospective study.The clincopathological features and prognosis were ana-lyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival rate.The differences between survival curves were cal-culated by Log-rank test.Results The analysis showed that sex,tumor differentiation and TNM stage were as-sociated with prognosis(P<0.05).The analyses demonstrated no differences in age,primary tumor site,treat-ment,number of liver metastases and extrahepatic metastasis(P>0.05).There was a significant correlation be-tween CEA,CA19-9 level and gender,tumor differentiation and TNM stage(P<0.001)and the corresponding surgical procedure and TNM stage(P<0.05).Conclusion The analysis show that male,the low differentiation and stageⅢare poor prognosis factors.

Objective To evaluate the prevalence of NI in the SICU at our hospital. Methods 181 NI patients in the SICU were retrospectively analysed during Jan 1996~Dec 2000.Results The average NI rate was 9.81%. The major sites of NI were respiratory tract(36.96 %),thoracic/abdominal cavity(25.47 %)and bloodstream infections(9.32 %).The difference in major pathogens of infections in different sites reached statistical significance. For respiratory tract, thoracic/abdominal cavity and bloodstream infections,bacteria were the most common pathogens. Fungi were the moat frequent isolate from urine and stool. Mixed infection proportion was 52.25 %. The most common pathogens were Enterococci, Methicillin resistant Staphylococci、 Pseudomonas Aecruginosa、Escherichia Coli、Candida Albicans and Candida Tropicalis. Conclusions The most common pathogens of NI in SICU are different in different infection sites. The pathogens were complicated and most strains are antibiotics resistant. So it is important to establish NI control and to understand the changes of pathogens so as to prevent the infection.

Cancer immunotherapy has great potential and is expected to become the mainstream method of cancer treatment.In the current application of cancer immunotherapy,immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)have achieved remarkable results.The cur-rently widely used ICIs in clinical practice include inhibitors targeting cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4(CTLA-4),pro-grammed death-1(PD-1)and programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1).In addition,new immunotherapies such as oncolytic viruses and chimeric antigen receptor T cells are gradually entering the clinical practice,and combination therapy related to ICIs has shown unique advantages.This article will focus on the current application status of ICIs,oncolytic viruses,and chimeric antigen receptor T cell ther-apies in solid tumors either their individual or combined forms.
