Cancer Research on Prevention and Treatment 2023;50(1):1-5
With the discovery of lung cancer targets and drug development, targeted therapy has improved the clinical prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with driver gene mutations. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown good efficacy in driver gene-negative NSCLC. Although some patients with driver gene mutations benefited significantly from the corresponding targeted therapy, they did not respond well to immunotherapy. In most clinical trials and daily practice, patients with NSCLC and driver gene mutations such as EGFR and ALK are excluded or only account for a minority of patients. Applying immunotherapy to patients with driver gene mutations, selecting the best treatment regimens among targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, and formulating the optimal treatment strategy are crucial to improve the prognosis of patients with advanced NSCLC and driver gene mutations. This paper reviews the characteristics of tumor immune microenvironment with different driver gene mutations and the application of immunotherapy for patients with NSCLC and different driver gene mutations.

Objective:To evaluate the optimization strategy of labor analgesia in obese parturients using dural puncture epidural (DPE) combined with programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB).Methods:Eighty American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ obese primiparae, who were at full term with a singleton fetus in vertex presentation, aged 20-40 yr, with body mass index of 30-40 kg/m 2, at 37-42 week gestation, with cervical dilation of 2-5 cm, and with visual analogue scale score ≥50 mm, were divided into 2 groups ( n=40 each) using a random number table method: DPE plus PIEB group (DPEP group) and DPE plus continuous epidural infusion group (DPEC group). All parturients received DPE labor analgesia, and parturients received PIEB (DPEP group) and continuous epidural infusion (DPEC group) to maintain analgesia during labor. In DPEP group, the patient-controlled epidural analgesia pump was set up to deliver a 5 ml bolus dose with a 20-min lockout interval and background infusion at 2 ml/12 min after an initial dose of 8 ml. In DPEC group, the patient-controlled epidural analgesia pump was set up to deliver a 5 ml bolus dose with a 20-min lockout interval and background infusion at 10 ml/h after an initial dose of 8 ml. The analgesia solution contained 0.1% ropivacaine plus 0.3 μg/ml sufentanil. The time to achieve adequate analgesia, consumption of ropivacaine per unit time, height of sensory block at the thoracic vertebral level, modified Bromage score, effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia, the number of rescue analgesia, Apgar score, delivery mode, occurrence of adverse reactions and maternal satisfaction with labor analgesia were recorded. Results:Compared with DPEC group, the time to achieve adequate analgesia was significantly shortened, the consumption of ropivacaine per unit time was decreased, and the number of rescue analgesia and effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia were decreased in DPEP group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the height of sensory block at the thoracic vertebral level, modified Bromage score, Apgar score, delivery mode, incidence of adverse reactions and maternal satisfaction with labor analgesia between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:DPE combined with PIEB offers faster onset and better effect and achieves a greater local anesthetics-sparing effect when used for labor analgesia in obese parturients.

Objective: To investigate and analyze the performance of informed consent of self-expense medical expenses by medical staff. Methods: By using stratified random method, a sample of 480 medical records of medical insurance patients was selected from 40 wards of a third class A hospital in Zhejiang province in 2016. Combined with semi-open questionnaire, the performance of medical staff was investigated to do informed consent of self-expense medical expenses. Results: In general, the rate of informed consent was low, and only the rate of informing bed fee was over 70%. Medical staff thought that the effective performance of informed consent was affected by many factors, such as subjective and objective factors. Conclusion: There are still some problems in the performance of informed consent of self-expense medical expenses. It is necessary to take multi-party linkage and multi-measures interventions to improve the rate of informed consent.
