ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin combined with tegafur and calcium folinate with FOLFOX4 regimens on patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods120 patients with advanced gastric cancer were randomly divided into two groups. concluding 60 cases in observation group (modified group)treated with oxaliplatin combined with tegafur and leucovorin and 60 cases in control group (FOLFOX4 group)treated with oxaliplatin combined with calcium folinate and fluorouracil.Clinical efficacy was evaluated after 2 (3-6) cycles. ResultsThe clinical efficacy rates of observation group and control group were 63.3 % (38/60) and 41.7 % (25/60), respectively (x2 =5.647, P =0.028). The median progression-free survival and median overall survival of patients in observation group were 7.7 months and 11.6 months,respectively,and those in control group were 7.3 months and 10.1 months,respectively.The median progression-free survival(P =0.032)and median overall survival(P =0.005)were statistically significant differences.The increased ratio of Karnofsky score of patients in observation group was higher than that in control group(P =0.015).The incidence of myelosuppression in observation group was lower than that in control group (P =0.044). There was no significant difference between the two groups on other adverse reaction rates. ConclusionThe efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin plus tegafur and leucovorin in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer is superior to FOLFOX4 regimen, and worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To propose a monosegment thoracic and lumbar fracture dislocation (mTLFD) classification, and to evaluate its reliability and clinical application.Methods:All of 298 cases of thoracic and lumbar fracture dislocation who received surgical management in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. 123 cases were included in the study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. mTLFD classification was proposed based on the imaging characteristics: type I (intervertebral disc injury mainly) and type II (vertebral burst fracture mainly). The type II was classified based on distribution of injury segment: type IIa (T 11 and above) and Ttype IIb (below T 11). Six spinal surgeons (3 residents, 3 associate chief physicians) were selected to classify the 123 cases according to preoperative imaging data, and to perform reliability test of each type. The repeatability and reliability of the classification were evaluated by ICC index. Different management strategies were performedf or each type: type I was managed with posterior decompression interbody fusion and internal fixation; type IIa underwent posterior decompression and fixation, subtotal vertebral resection and fusion was performed if bony compromise was still present through intra-operative exploration. Type IIb underwent posterior decompression, posterolateral fusion and internal fixation on the first stage, while anterior subtotal vertebral resection and reconstruction was performed on the second stage if the bony compromise was still present based on post-operative CT examination. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grading of all patients was recorded, and the visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswetry disability Iindex (ODI) and local Cobb angle of each type was compared between pre-operation and final follow-up. Results:The average follow-up time of all patients was 10.4±1.8 months. The average repeatability and reliability ICC index of mTLFD of 3 residents and 3 deputy chief physicians were 0.926 and 0.964, respectively, and 0.746 and 0.907, respectively. The reliability ICC index of type I, type IIa and type IIb was 0.918, 0.947 and 0.962, respectively, and the repeatability ICC index was 0.930, 0.940 and 0.966, respectively. The neurological function recovery was obtained in 56 patients. The preoperative VAS of type I, type IIa and type IIb were 8.5±1.0, 8.4±1.0 and 8.3±0.9, and 2.0±1.1, 1.8±1.0 and 1.8±0.9 at the final follow-up (all P<0.001). The ODI of type I, type IIa and type IIb were 97.0%±2.1%, 97.1%±1.9% and 97.3%±2.1% before surgery, and 29.5%±6.8%, 27.0%±6.0% and 29.0%±6.7% at the final follow-up (all P<0.001). The local Cobb angles of type I, type IIa and type IIb were 20.9°±7.1°, 29.0°±9.1° and 26.4°±6.9° before surgery, and 12.5°±5.4°, 18.0°±9.1° and 13.1°±5.1° at the final follow-up (all P<0.001). Conclusion:The mTLFD classification proposed in this study has strong repeatability and reliability, and management strategy of each type have achieved satisfactory clinical efficacy, indicating that the classification has certain significance for management of thoracic and lumbar spine fracture dislocation.
