Objective To investigate the clinical value of nutritional risk screening 2002(NRS2002)and malnutritional universal screening tools(MUST)in the preoperative nutrition risk evaluation of patients with gastric cancer.Methods The preoperative nutritional risk of 3 14 patients who had been admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2004 to December 2007 was assessed by subjective global assessment(SGA),NRS 2002 and M UST,and the influence of nutritional risk on the incidence of postoperative complications and hospital stay was investigated.All data were analyzed by Wilcoxon test,Kappa test and Logistics regression analysis.Results Compared with SGA,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predicting value and negative predicting value were 86.7%,74.2%,86.9% and 73.8% for NRS2002,and were 73.1%,70.6%,74.8% and 68.7% for MUST.Compared with MUST,NRS2002 had a higher consistency with SGA(K_(NRS2002)=0.601,K_(MUST)=0.436).Logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with higher MUST or NRS2002 score had higher incidence of postoperative complications and longer hospital stay.In the aspect of hospital stay,the relative risk of MUST was 2.517,which was lower than 3.426 of NRS2002.The relative risk of MUST was 0.529,which was lower than 0.642 of NRS2002 in the aspect of incidence of postoperative complications.Conclusions NRS2002 and MUST are suitable for preoperative nutritional risk screening of patients with gastric cancer,and the score of NRS2002 or MUST is associated with the incidence of postoperative complications and length of hospital stay.However,NRS2002 is more accurate than MUST in the reflection of nutritional risk of patients with gastric cancer.

Objective To evaluate the preoperative nutritional status of patients with gastric carcinoma by using the European Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS 2002)and its prediction for postoperative nutrition-related complications.Methods We prospectively evaluated the nutritional risk of 314 gastric cancer patients admitted in one center from 2004 to 2007 with NRS 2002 with China's normal body mass index(BMI),in terms of postoperative complications,mortality and hospital stay.Results NRS 2002 scoring system was applicable in 93.1% cases.Preoperatively 125 patients were of score≥3,accounting for 39.8% of this group.The postoperative complication rate(26.2%)was higher than 13.8% in those with normal preoperative nutritional scores(NRS 2002 score＜3)(P＜0.05);The odds ratio to develop a complication was 0.642 in patients with preoperative nutritional risk score(P＜0.05),and 1.596 in patients with clinicopathological stage of gastric cancer(P＜0.01).The correlation between length of hospital stay and nutritional risk was also assessed by Pearson correlation analysis.The Pearson coefficient was 0.177(P=0.002).Conclusion Preoperative nutrition score(NRS 2002)≥3 predicts higher postoperative complications and longer hospital stay.Preoperative nutritional support is necessary in patients with preoperative nutrition score(NRS 2002)≥3.

Background and purpose:In 2016 the National Cancer Institute(NCI)decided stopping to use NCI-60 cell lines for drug screening,suggesting that tumor cell lines were losing their value as a tool for drug discovery and basic research.The reason for NCI-60 cells'retirement'was that the preclinical studies based on traditional cellular and animal models did not obtain the corresponding expected efficacy in clinical trials.Since the major cancer behaviors,such as proliferation and metastasis,are fundamentally altered with long-term culture,the tumor cell lines are not representative of the characteristics of cancer in patients.Currently,scientists hope to create a new cancer model that are derived from fresh patient samples and tagged with details about their clinical past.Our purpose was to create patient-derived breast cancer primary cell lines as new cancer model for drug screening and basic research.Methods:Breast cancer tissues were collected in the Department of Breast Surgery,Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University.The collection of tumor tissue samples was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University(approval number:2022 ethics No.313),and the collection and use of tumor tissues complied with the Declaration of Helsinki.The primary breast cancer cell lines were isolated from the patient's breast cancer tissues and cultured in BCMI medium.After the cells proliferated,the media were replaced with DEME medium.Cell line STR genotyping was done to determine cell-specific genetic markers and identification.Clone formation assay and transplantation assay were done to analyze the ability of breast cancer primary cell lines to form tumors.Results:We created 6 primary breast cancer cell lines.The 6 primary breast cancer cell lines from the patients were tagged with the definitively clinicopathological features,clinical diagnosis,therapeutic regimens,clinical effectiveness and prognostic outcomes.The STR genotyping assays identified the genetic markers and determined the identities of the 6 primary breast cancer cell lines.Clone formation assays and transplantation assay showed that the proliferative capacities of the patient-derived primary breast cancer cell lines were significantly greater compared with the conventional breast cancer cell lines.Conclusion:We created a panel of 6 patient-derived primary breast cancer cell lines as new cancer model for drug screening and basic research in breast cancer.

Objective To observe the changes of liver function,blood cell,and lung function of healthy young and middle-aged men before and after fast-advancing short-term high altitude exposure(FSHAE);and to explore the effects and possible mechanisms of FSHAE on the function of liver,blood cells,and lung tissues.Methods This study included 48 healthy young and middle-aged male volunteers,who collected physiological indicators,tested liver function indicators,blood cell indicators,and lung function-related indicators 1 day before entering the plateau(100m above sea level),and 15 days after FSHAE(3000m above sea level).Differences in the relevant parameters of each system were compared before and after FSHAE.Results Compared with those before entering the plateau,the physiological parameters of young and middle-aged men after 15 days of FSHAE heart rate increased significantly,respiratory rate increased,systolic blood pressure increased,mean arterial blood pressure increased,oxygen saturation decreased(P＜0.01),and diastolic blood pressure increased(P＜0.05),all of which were statistically significant;and the indicators of liver function:glutamic oxaloacetic aminotransferase,glutamic alanine aminotransferase increased(P＜0.01),glutamylamine aminotransferase,glutamate aminotransferase,glutaminase,and pulmonary function were increased(P＜0.01),glutamyl transpeptidase,alkaline phosphatase,and total bile acids were elevated,and total protein decreased(P＜0.05),and the differences were statistically significant.Hemocyte-related indexes:erythrocyte count,erythrocyte pressure volume,mean erythrocyte volume,mean hemoglobin volume,mean hemoglobin concentration,and hemoglobin were elevated,and platelet count decreased(P＜0.01),and the differences were statistically significant.although there was an elevation of leukocyte count(P＞0.05);Lung function-related indexes:decreased exertion lung volume(P＜0.05).There were decreased exertion expiratory volume in the first second,increased one-second rate(P＞0.05).Conclusion FSHAE can lead to oxidative stress in the organism,and acute hypoxic multisystemic injury will occur,with the simultaneous emergence of hypoxic adaptive regulation of various systems,self-compensatory repair of various organs of the organism,and there may be the possibility of interactions between various systems.
