Thoracic radiotherapy is an important means of local treatment for non -small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs)have the effect of systemic therapy.Studies have shown that NSCLC patients with EGFR exons 19,21 mutation have a synergistic effect in the combination therapy .Radiotherapy activates EGFR signaling pathway ,inducing cell proliferation and DNA damage repair,leading to radiation resistance .Therefore,EGFR-TKIs have the effect in increasing radiosensitivity .Lung injury is one of the most common side effects when the two therapies combined .Studies suggest that radiotherapy combined with EGFR-TKIs may have conflicting functions in the development of pulmonary fibrosis ,the discrep-ancy between these studies may depend on the differences in the experimental systems ,the differences in pulmo-nary fibrosis models,as well as the differences between different species and individuals .Therefore,a more com-plete understanding of the etiology for pulmonary fibrosis is necessary to the development of improved treatments .

Cancer of digestive system is one of the most common worldwidely cancers and seriously threats to human health. However its etiology and pathogenesis are still not clear. Toll-like receptor (TLR), a newly discovered transmembrane receptor, plays an important role in innate immunity. Recent researches suggested that TLRs had extensive relationship with inflammation, autoimmune diseases and cancer. A large number of researches indicated that TLRs not only participated in the occurrence, development and immune escape of cancer, but also acted in immunotherapy in digestive system. Further investigation of TLRs may re-veal the effects of TLRs in the development of malignant tumors of digestive system, moreover may find new therputic target for the treatment of cancers. We reviewed the relationship between TLRs and cancers of di-gestive system.

Objective To explore the role of focus intervention mode in improving the self-efficacy and subjective well-being of newly-contracted nurses. Methods A total of 100 nurses selected as the survey subjects by means of convenient sampling method, were numbered consecutively and divided into observation group and control group by random digit number table. The observation group was intervened with conventional mental consultation and the observation group with the WeChat-based focus intervention mode, which included the use of past-oriented questions and answers for understanding their strength and sources, future-oriented presuppositions and miracle-oriented questions for their thinking of resolutions to future problems. The two groups were compared in terms of general self-efficacy and well-being by the general self-efficacy scale (GSES) and the overall well-being scale (GWB). Results Before intervention , the total scores on GSES and GWB of the observation groups were insignificantly higher than those of the control group (P > 0.05). After intervention, the scores of observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion The We-Chat-based focus intervention mode can effectively improve the self-efficacy and subjective well-being of newly-contracted nurses.

Objective To evaluate the causes,prevention and treatment of mesh infection after abdominal wall hernia mesh repair.Methods The clinical data of 14 mesh infections admitted from De-cember 1997 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.There were one case of inguinal hernia with Lichtenstein repair,eleven cases of inguinal hernia with preperitoneal repair,one case of incisional hernia with Bard Composix Mesh and 1 case of parastomal hernia with mesh repair above the abdominal muscle. Based on prothetic materials and infection status,the infection meshes were removed in 4 cases and open dressing change were operated in 10 cases.Results All patients were healed and discharged without peri-operative death.There was no hemorrhage and bladder injury during the procedures.The time of dressing change ranged from 3 weeks to 6 months,with a median of 4 weeks.All patients were followed up for 8 to 64 months.One patient had a recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia.Conclusion There are many fac-tors related to mesh infection after mesh repair and preventing mesh infection is the most important.Once the infection occurs,the management should be individualized.Antibiotic treatment and surgical drainage can be effective in most polypropylene mesh(PPM)infection However,infected expanded polytetrafluoro-ethylene(ePTFE)mesh should be removed completely.

Radiation therapy is one of the main therapeutic means of thoracic malignant tumors .When re-ceived certain radiation ,lung may cause the common complication of chest tumor radiotherapy -Radiation -in-duced Lung Injury ( RILI) ,which restricts the radiation dose for the tumor region and may affect patient outcomes . RILI is closely associated with multiple cytokines ,such as interleukin family,tumor necrosis factor,transforming growth factor,etc.Currently,research on RILI control methods has also made some breakthrough ,this article elab-orates on this individually .

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined hepatectomy and splenectomy in hepatocellular carcinoma complicated with hepatic cirrhosis and hypersplenism.Methods Medline (1966-August 2009), Embase (1974-August 2009), Cochrane Library, CBMdisc (1978-August 2009), and Wanfang Database were searched without language limitation. All relevant studies were screened and the data were extracted by two independent reviewers, and the methodological qualities of the included studies were evaluated by the Minors scale. The data were analyzed with the RevMan5 software. Results Five non-randomized comparative studies (NRCs) involving 476 patients (232 in HS group, 244 in control group) were enrolled into the analysis. There was no significant difference in the operative mortalities (OR=0. 57, 95%CI 0. 12-2. 66, P=0. 47) and postoperative morbidities (OR= 0. 93, 95 % CI 0.59- 1.46, P = 0.75) between the two groups. Compared with hepatectomy only, CD4+ T cell (WMD=7.90, 95%CI 7.01-8.79, P＜0.01), CD4+ T cell/CD8+ T cell ratio (WMD=0. 75, 95%CI 0. 70-0.80, P＜0.01), white blood cell count (WMD=5.47, 95%CI 5.13-5.82, P＜0.01) and platelet count (WMD=174.89, 95%CI 116.61-233.18,P＜0.01) were significantly higher, but CD8+ T cell (WMD = - 7.66, 95%CI - 8. 53～ - 6. 79,P＜0. 01) was lower compared with combined hepatectomy and splenectomy. There was no significant difference in the 5-year survival rates (OR= 1.37, 95%CI 0.86-2.18, P=0. 18). Conclusion Combined hepatectomy and splenectomy did not increase the operative mortalities and postoperative morbidities in hepatocellular carcinoma complicated with hepatic cirrhosis and hypersplenism. The white blood cell and platelet counts markedly increased after surgery. There was no evidence to show any improvement in the 5-year survival.

Objective To study the relationship of the university students' procrastination and big five personality factors.Methods 461 university students were assessed by the simple edition of tuckman procrastination scale(TPS) and the big five personality inventory short form(NEO-FFI).Results TPS score of the student was (48.51 ± 7.66).There were 89.4% students respectively had different level of procrastination behavior.There were no significant differences in university students by the gender(47.95 ±7.84 vs 48.95 ± 7.43 ) ,whether one-child students(48.64 ± 7.49 vs 48.45 ± 7.81 ) and grades.There were significant positive correlation between procrastination and the personality factor of neuroticism( r=0.235, P＜0.01 ) and significant negative correlation with extraversion ( r=-0.180, P ＜ 0.01 ) and conscientiousness ( r =-0.198, P ＜ 0.01 ).The big five personality factors of neuroticism,extraversion and conscientiousness could explain the 14.0% variation of procrastination of university students.Conclusion Procrastination is a very common phenomenon in the university students.The students with higher neuroticism, lower extraversion and conscientiousness of big five personality have more procrastination behavior.

This study was aimed to solve the problem of overall syndrome differentiation information collection on patient’s main complain of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) four diagnostic methods, in order to make syndrome differentiation standard of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) with liver-qi invasion pattern. The method of cluster sampling was applied in the investigation. The appropriate structural equation modeling (SEM) was established according to multi-dimension indexes of case features and TCM theories. The results of the “information acquisition form for doctor” structural equation showed that emotion dimension, body-symptom dimension, organism condition dimension load coefficients were 0.715, 0.574 and 0.904, respectively. The results of the “information acquisition form for patient” structural equation showed that emotion dimension, body-symptom dimension, organism condition dimension load coefficients were 0.705, 0.945 and 0.848, respectively. There were strong relativities among all dimensions. Combined with TCM theories, the main symptom of identified PMS with liver-qi invasion pattern was “irritable and angry”. And the secondary symptoms contained headache, breast tenderness, distention and pain of lower abdomen and stomach. The combining symptoms were insomnia, dreaminess, swelling of extremities, fatigue, inefficiency for work and housework, hard to focus the attention. It was concluded that the combination of information acquisition method from both the doctor and patient established a relative comprehensive information acquisition system. It established the syndrome differentiation standard of PMS with liver-qi invasion pattern for the first time based on epidemiologic investigation. It provided important reference for the study of PMS subtype.

BACKGROUND:Currently, discectomy, fusion or decompression is considered an effective and conventional method for the treatment of spinal disease. Although there have been many reports on the adverse effects of diabetes on spinal surgery, but there are stil some differences. OBJECTIVE:To systematical y evaluate the observational studies and case-control studies about the effect of diabetes on the complications of spinal surgery. METHODS:The control ed and comparative studies regarding the effect of diabetes on the results and complications of spinal surgery were searched from the database according to the inclusion criteria. The observed indicators including mortality, revision rate, surgical site infection, the incidence of venous thrombosis, blood loss, operative time and hospitalization time. Two authors participated in extracting the data and evaluating the methodology and quality of the included studies. Meta-analysis was conducted according to the guidelines of epidemiological observational studies (MOOSE). The risk assessment of the extracted data was conducted using RevMan 5.2 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Eighteen literatures, involving 2 824 063 patients, were eventual y enrol ed. The experimental result showed that the mortality, surgical site infection, incidence of venous thrombosis of diabetic patients after the spinal surgery were significantly higher than those of non-diabetic patients;the hospital stay was significantly longer than that of non-diabetic patients (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the risk of revision, intraoperative blood loss and operation time between diabetic patients and non-diabetic patients (P>0.05). These results suggest that diabetic patients take a higher risk once accepting the spinal surgery than the non-diabetic patients. Diabetes increases the risks of postoperative mortality, surgical site infection, venous thrombosis and hospitalization time after spinal surgery.
