Objective:To investigate the influence of clinical outcomes and the risk factors of poor prognosis for preoperative nutritional risk in gastric cancer patients.Methods:A prospective study was performed in 140 patients with gastric cancer and the nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) was done.The influence of preoperative nutritional risk on postoperative complications,hospital stay,ICU stay,hospital expenses,60 days readmission and mortality was analyzed,and the risk factors of perioperative complication were identified by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results:The significant difference (NRS 2002 ≥ 3 group vs.NRS 2002 < 3 group) was observed in the rates of overall postoperative complications,pulmonary infection,overall hospital stay and postoperative hospital stay (P < 0.05).The rates of anastomotic fistula,pleural effusion,60 days readmission,60 days mortality and hospitalization expenses in NRS 2002 ≥ 3 group were higher than that of NRS 2002 < 3 group,but there were no differences between the two groups (P > 0.05).By univariate and multivariate analysis,preoperative high cholesterol levels and preoperative nutritional risk are the risk factors of poor prognosis and postoperative complications.Conclusion:Preoperative high cholesterol levels and preoperative nutritional risk are independent risk factors of postoperative complications.

Objective To study the time extended for getting emergency intervention in different modes of transportation and factors influencing the modes of transportation of patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods A total of 564 consecutive patients with STEMI admitted from September 2013 to June 2016 were enrolled in the study.The clinical data about time consumed for getting emergency intervention and modes of transportation were collected.Results According to the mode of transportation,patients were divided into three groups:emergency care system (EMS) transportation group (n =96),self-transportation group (n =206) and referral group in which the patients were sent in from other hospitals (n =262).EMS transportation group had significantly shorter total ischemic time before emergency treatment than self-transportation group (229 rin vs.418 min,P < 0.05) and referral group (229 min vs.512 rin,P < 0.05),and significantly shorter length of pre-hospital time than self-arrival group (55 min vs.110 min;P<0.05) and referral group (55 min vs.372 min;P<0,05).The referral group had longer pre-hospital time and the self-transportation group had longer door-to-balloon time,but there was no difference in total ischemic time between the self-arrival and referral group (Z =-1.882,P =0.068).Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze influence factors in mode of transportation:(1) patients characterized with high school or university education,profession of civil service,and their transportation distance more than 30 km were greater in number than referral group (P < 0.05);(2) patients identified with senior middle school education,staff member of public sectors or company,their transportation distance less than 30 km,and with killip grade above Ⅱ were more likely to have EMS transport (P < 0.05);(3) patients defined as businessmen without taking out new rural cooperative medical insurance,taking up transportation distance less than 80 km,and subjecting to killip grade Ⅰ had a higher proportion of individuals of this kind taking self-transportation (P < 0.05).Conclusion Mode of transportation is an important factor that affects the time extended to get emergency intervention.Education level,occupation,medical insurance type,transportation distance,killip grade are associated with modes of transport.

Objective? To expLore the status quo and infLuencing factors of comfort LeveLs in patients receiving chemotherapy after surgery for coLorectaL cancer. Methods? TotaLLy 150 patients who received chemotherapy after surgery for coLorectaL cancer in a CLassⅢ Grade A hospitaL in a city from January 2017 to February 2018 were seLected as convenient sampLing and investigated with the generaL information questionnaire, Chemotherapy Patient Comfort ScaLe and SociaL Support Rating ScaLe (SSRS). Univariate anaLysis, Pearson correLation anaLysis and muLtivariate Linear regression anaLysis were used to expLore the factors affecting the patients' comfort LeveLs. ResuLts? The comfort LeveL of these patients with coLorectaL cancer after surgery totaLed (72.36±9.34). Comfort LeveLs were positiveLy correLated with sociaL support (P< 0.05). MuLtivariate Linear regression anaLysis showed that educationaL background, enterostomy received or not, compLication, treatment protocoL and sociaL support were the main factors affecting the patients' comfort LeveL. ConcLusions? The comfort LeveL of patients receiving chemotherapy after surgery for coLorectaL cancer stands at a medium LeveL. MedicaL and nursing workers shouLd improve sociaL support for the patients and take more targeted interventions based on the patients' actuaL situation to improve their comfort LeveLs and quaLity of Life.

Objective To investigate the correlation between quantitative perfusion histogram parameters of DCE-MRI and tumor tissue microvessel density(MVD) in patients with lung cancer.Methods 30 patients with lung cancer confirmed by pathology who underwent preoperative DCE-MRI were enrolled in this retrospective study .Quantitative perfusion histogram pa-rameters( including median, mean, skewness, kurtosis, energy, entropy) were measured for each patient using Exchange mo-dle.Using the Immunohistochemical method to detect the expression of CD34 in tumor tissue, and counting the number of mi-crovessels under microscope.SPSS 19.0 was used to carry out statistical analysis.The correlation between MVD and quantita-tive perfusion histogram parameters of DCE-MRI measured by exchange model was evaluated by Pearson linear correlation anal-ysis.Results There was no significant difference in MVD and each quantitative perfusion histogram parameters between the three different pathological groups of lung cancer(P >0.05).Ktrans perfusion histogram parameters(mean, 25%, 50%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 95%), Kep perfusion histogram parameters(entropy, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%), Fp perfusion histogram parameters( mean, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 95%) and Vp perfusion histograms parameters ( entropy, 75%, 90%, 95% ) were positively correlated with MVD(P<0.05).Ktrans perfusion histogram parameters(energy) and Vp perfu-sion histogram parameters(skewness, kurtosis, energy) were negatively correlated with MVD(P<0.05).There was no signifi-cant correlation between Ve perfusion histogram parameters and MVD(P>0.05).Conclusion There was a certain correla-tion between the perfusion histogram parameters of DCE-MRI and MVD,suggesting that the quantitative perfusion histogram of DCE-MRI in lung cancer can reflect the MVD value of cancer tissue .
