Objective:This study aimed to determine the function of herbs in preventing diarrhea after irinotecan chemotherapy and analyze the efficacy of the herbs based on UGT1A1*28 gene polymorphism. Methods:A total of 200 patients admitted to the De-partment of Synergistic Chinese and Western Medicine, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between October 2011 and May 2013 were randomly divided into the control (chemotherapy alone) and herb (chemotherapy combined with herbs) groups. All patients consented to UGT1A1*28 gene polymorphism detection prior to chemotherapy. Herbs were administered from 2 d prior to chemotherapy to 5 d post chemotherapy, with or without the regimen of fluorouracil, folinic acid, and irinotecan. Adverse reac-tions were recorded, and short-term effect was evaluated regularly. Results:A total of 144 patients had TA6/6 wild genotype, and anoth-er 56 patients had non-wild genotype (12 of the 56 cases were TA7/7 homozygous, and the other 44 cases were TA6/7 hybrid). A total of 58 patients experienced grades 2 to 4 diarrhea. A 14%decrease in the incidence of diarrhea was observed in the herb group compared with that of the control group (22%vs. 36%, P=0.029). In addition to diarrhea, grades 2 to 4 vomiting was significantly lower in the herb group than in the control group (15% vs. 27%, P=0.037). The overall response rate was 37.5%. No significant difference was found between the two groups (40% vs. 35%, P=0.465). The incidences of grades 2 to 4 diarrhea (22.9% vs. 44.6%, P=0.002) and grades 2 to 4 vomiting (23.2%vs. 16.7%, P=0.016) were lower in patients with the UGT1A1*28 wild genotype than in those with the non-wild genotype. However, in the herb group, the incidences of grades 2 to 4 diarrhea (22.2% vs. 21.9%, P=0.974) and vomiting (18.5% vs. 13.7%, P=0.777) were not significant between the non-wild-and wild-type groups. Conclusion:Herbs can effectively pre-vent the late diarrhea caused by irinotecan, which is also applicable in UGT1A1*28 non-wild genotype patients. Incidence of diarrhea was obviously higher in the cases with UGT1A1*28 non-wild type than in those with wild genotype. Hence, the UGT1A1*28 gene type should be detected prior to chemotherapy with irinotecan.

Objective:To observe the effect of dexmedetomidine on sleep and anxiety in cancer patients who received chemothera-py. Methods: Sixty cancer patients suffering from sleep disorders or anxiety symptoms and receiving chemotherapy between March and June 2014 were randomly divided into treatment and control groups. The patients in the treatment group were treated with intrave-nous drip of 1.0μg/kg dexmedetomidine for more than 30 min, once a day for three days. The patients in the control group were given the same dose and drip time of normal saline. Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) was used to assess the sleep quality of patients before and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd days after the administration of dexmedetomidine. Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) was employed to assess anxi-ety before and the 3rd day after the administration of dexmedetomidine. Results:Compared with the control group and status before ad-ministration of dexmedetomidine, the AIS scores were significantly lower in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd days after administration (P<0.01), and the SAS scores were also significantly lower in the 3rd day after administration (P<0.01). Conclusion:Dexmedetomidine may im-prove sleep quality and alleviate anxiety symptoms in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Objective:To explore the current status of medical preventive integration at primary medical institutions, analyze the problems of medical prevention integration, and put forward optimization suggestions.Methods:From June to July 2020, 169 primary medical institutions in a city were selected as the survey objects to conduct a questionnaire survey on the basic information of institutions and the evaluation indicators of medical preventive integration. The evaluation index system of medical preventive integration was divided into a factual survey and a sensory survey. In addition, 32 relevant personnel were interviewed on the current situation of medical preventive integration at primary medical institutions. The reliability and validity of the data were tested and analyzed, while descriptive analysis and classification extraction analysis were carried out.Results:The reliability and validity analysis proved the data reliability. The factual survey extracted three common factors, namely organization management, performance appraisal distribution and information management. The sensory survey extracted two common factors, namely working mode and personnel training. In terms of organization, management and working methods, the degree of medical preventive integration was low. Among them, 53.8% of the institutions had formulated the medical preventive integration norms, and only 41.4% of them had shared residents′ health information in time.Conclusions:The degree of medical preventive integration of primary medical institutions in the city still need to be improved. In the future, we should strengthen the top-level design, establish the norms and cooperation mechanism of medical preventive integration, improve the awareness of medical preventive integration of medical personnel, improve the information level, and to build a new service model integrating disease prevention, medical treatment and health management.

With the progress of gene detection technology and the speed-up in new drug development, biological target therapy has fully covered the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC. Immunotherapy has significantly improved the survival of advanced NSCLC patients with negative driven genes, and the median OS reaches about 2 years (15.6-30 months). EGFR is the most common driven
gene. According to different EGFR mutation subtypes (L858R or 19del), different treatment mode (EGFR-TKI single drug, TKI combined with anti-vascular drugs and TKI combined with chemotherapy) is selected as the first-line treatment, which has become a consensus. Depending on the data of median PFS, the treatment efficacy against rare targets is more prominent, which has exceeded the efficacy of standard chemotherap:ALK (alectinib, PFS=34.8 months), ROS1 (ceritinib, PFS=19.3 months), RET (selpercatinib, PFS=18.4 months), BRAF (dabrafenib plus trametinib, PFS=14.6 months), NTRK (larotrectinib, PFS≥12 months) and MET (savolitinib, PFS=9.7
months). In conclusion, the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC has entered the era of“precision-targeted treatment”based on
different molecular typing, and it has become a consensus that high-throughput sequencing is required for newly diagnosed patients.

The efficacy and prognosis of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer patients have been significantly improved with the development and wide application of anti-tumor drugs against HER2. The results of PEONY research once again established the status of the double-target treatment mode of pertuzumab+trastuzumab in the field of neoadjuvant therapy. Based on the two studies of TRYPHAENA and TRAIN-2, paclitaxel plus platinum should be the first choice chemotherapy scheme for anti HER2 double-target therapy, and the treatment course of 6 cycles is preferred. According to the consensus of neoadjuvant therapy experts in China and the latest follow-up results of adjuvant APT study, the neoadjuvant therapy is more suitable for patients with a tumor diameter of more than 3 cm and/or positive lymph nodes metastasis; T-DM1 should be the first choice of adjuvant therapy in patients, who didn’t obtain pCR after neoadjuvant treatment, and whether the double-target adjuvant mode of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab is suitable depends on follow-up of the PEONY study. Low-risk patients with small tumors (<3 cm) and without lymph node metastasis may consider omitting neoadjuvant therapy but adopt direct surgery followed by postoperative adjuvant therapy with trastuzumab plus paclitaxel. The regimen of trastuzumab+pertuzumab combined with taxanes is still the standard first line treatment of late stage HER2+ patients; for Chinese patients, pyrotinib combined with capecitabine can be used as the second line optimization, and T-DM1 can be used as the third line and posterior line selection; when trastuzumab, pertuzumab and T-DM1 fail the treatment, DS-8201 becomes a new selection mode. Combined treatment mode of tucatinib plus trastuzumab and capecitabine can be considered in late stage HER2+ patients with brain metastases.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical efficacy and feasibility of surgical treatment for thoracic spinal tuberculosis with intraspinal abscesses by internal fixation, unilateral vertebral lamina limited decompression, debridement, together with interbody and posterior fusion via a posterior only approach.
METHODS:
A total of 37 pantients (24 males and 13 females) with thoracic spinal tuberculosis complicated with intraspinal abscess lesions were admitted to our hospital, with age 13-68(39.7 ± 9.1) years old. Spinal lesions of segmental kyphosis Cobb angle was 8°-62° (29.6° ± 3.6°). Frankel grade system was used to assess neurological function. According to the system, there were 3, 7, 19 and 8 cases for grade B, C, D and E, respectively. All 37 cases were treated with internal fixation, unilateral vertebral lamina limited decompression, debridement, together with interbody and posterior fusion via a posterior only approach.
RESULTS:
The mean duration for follow-up was 24-90 (53.0 ± 15.7) months. Intraoperative dural tear occurred in 1 cases with cerebrospinal fluid leakage after operation; 2 cases showed postoperative neurological complications; delayed wound healing occurred in 2 cases. The postoperative kyphotic angle was 5°-21° (8.3° ± 1.3°). The kyphotic angle was 8°-26° (10.1° ± 1.9°) at the last follow-up. By the time of the last follow-up, all patients with preoperative neurological symptoms improved at different degree. According to Frankel classification, 2 cases recovered from grade B to D, 1 case from grade B to E, 3 cases from grade C to D, 4 cases from grade C to E, 13 cases from grade D to E. No failure in fixation and pseudarthrosis. All patients obtained satisfactory bone graft fusion.
CONCLUSION
Posterior internal fixation, unilateral vertebral lamina limited decompression, debridement, together with interbody and posterior fusion might be a effective and feasible method for treatment of thoracic spinal tuberculosis with intraspinal abscess lesions.
