Objective To analyze the clinicopathological factors on the prognosis and investigate the necessity of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 255 patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 2000 to December 2005 were collected.The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival rate of the patients were analyzed by Log-rank test.Factors influencing the survival were analyzed by Cox regression model.Results All patients were followed up till April 23,2010,and the mean time of follow-up was (63 ± 22)months.The median survival time was 63 months.The 5-year and tumor-free survival rates were 85.3％ and 83.7％,respectively.The 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates of patients without preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation were 86.9％ and 85.6％,which were sigaificantly higher than 72.7％and 68.4％ of patients with preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation(x2 =4.546,4.573,P ＜ 0.05 ).The 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates of patients with negative resection margin were 85.5％ and 83.9％,which were significantly higher than 75.0％ and 75.0％ of patients with positive resection margin(x2 =7.020,6.009,P ＜ 0.05 ).The result of multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation were the independent risk factors for patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer(Wald =4.477,relative risk =2.371,95 ％ confidence interval:1.066-5.275,P ＜ 0.05 ).The 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates were 87.3％ and 86.0％ for patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy,and were 82.2％ and 80.3％ for patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation are independent risk factors for the survival of patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer.Adjuvant chemotherapy could not improve the prognosis of patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the indications of the therapies for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with neural network model analysis. METHODS: Three hundred and ninety-seven patients were included in the clinical trial from 9 clinical centers. They were randomly divided into Western medicine (WM) treated group, 194 cases; and traditional Chinese herbal medicine (CM) treated group, 203 cases. A complete physical examination and 18 common clinical manifestations were prepared before the randomization and after the treatment. The WM therapy included voltaren extended action tablet, methotrexate and sulfasalazine. The CM therapy included Glucosidorum Tripterygii Totorum Tablet and syndrome differentiation treatment. The American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) was taken as efficacy evaluation. All data were analyzed on SAS 8.2 statistical package. The relationships between each variable and efficacy were analyzed, and the variables with P<0.2 were included for the data mining analysis with neural network model. All data were classified into training set (75%) and verification set (25%) for further verification on the data-mining model. RESULTS: Eighteen variables in CM and 24 variables in WM were included in the data-mining model. In CM, morning stiffness, swollen joint number, peripheral immunoglobulin M (IgM) level, tenderness joint number, tenderness, rheumatoid factor (RF), C-reactive protein (CRP) and joint pain were positively related to the efficacy, and disease duration and more urination at night negatively related to the efficacy. In WM, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), weak waist, white fur in tongue, joint pain, joint stiffness and swollen joint were positively related to the efficacy, and yellow fur in tongue, red tongue, white blood negatively related to the efficacy. In the analysis with the neural network model in the patients of verification set, the predictive response rates of 20% patients would be 100% and 90% in the treatment with CM and WM, respectively. CONCLUSION: Neural network model analysis, based on the full clinical trial data with collection of both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine diagnostic information, shows a good predictive role for the information in the efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlations between clinical symptoms and treatment efficacy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Four hundred and thirteen patients were included in the clinical trial from 9 clinical centers. They were randomly divided into Western medicine-treated group with 204 cases and Chinese herbal drug-treated group with 209 cases. Eighteen clinical symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment. The Western medicine therapy included voltaren extended release tablets, methotrexate and sulfasalazine. The Chinese herbal drug therapy included glucosidorum Tripterygii totorum tablets and Yishen Juanbi Tablets combined with treatment based on syndrome differentiation. The American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) was used as efficacy evaluation criteria. RESULTS: In the Chinese herbal drug-treated group, clinical symptoms such as arthralgia and tenderness of joints were positively correlated with the efficacy after 12-week treatment, while frequent urination at night was negatively correlated. In the same group, tenderness of joints and fever were positively correlated with the efficacy after 24-week treatment, while deep-colored and turbid urine was negatively correlated. In the Western medicine-treated group, tenderness of joints and thirst were positively correlated with the efficacy after 12-week treatment, while vertigo was negatively correlated. And in the same group, tenderness of joints was positively correlated with the efficacy after 24-week treatment, while heaviness of limbs was negatively correlated to the efficacy. The statistical results showed that the treatment efficacy was improved when the correlated symptoms were included in the indications. CONCLUSION: The treatment efficacy of RA is correlated with some symptoms, so further studies should proceed on these correlations in order to achieve better treatment outcome.

Objective: To analyze the nutritional literacy and influencing factors among students from Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students (NIPRCES) in Chongqing, and to provide a scientific basis for improving the nutritional literacy of middle school students in the NIPRCES. Methods: Using cross sectional survey, a total of 3 365 students in the grade 7 and 8 were selected from the middle schools in 12 national pilot districts and 2 Chongqing pilot districts by online survey in September 2020. Students filled out a self designed nutritional literacy questionnaire anonymously. The relative evaluation method was used to convert the nutritional literacy of scores into a percentile, and the median score was used as the criterion for qualified nutritional literacy screening. Results: The median score of nutritional literacy of participants was 63.5, and 64.2% achieved the qualified level. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that boarding school ( OR =1.28, 95% CI =1.08- 1.51 ) and no parents as the primary caregiver ( OR =1.22，95% CI =1.05-1.42) were associated with poor nutritional literacy. Urban residence ( OR =0.75, 95% CI =0.63-0.90), NIPRCES local pilot ( OR =0.83, 95% CI =0.71-0.97) and high paternal education ( OR =0.70, 95% CI =0.52-0.95) were associated with higher nutritional literacy ( P <0.01). Classroom was the main channel for students to obtain nutrition information at present (65.1%) and in the future (72.8%). Conclusion The nutritional literacy among students in the NIPRCES in Chongqing needs to be improved. Nutritional literacy level of students can be strengthened by nutritional education in boarding schools, rural areas, national pilot areas, and primary caregivers.

Objectives: To propose a novel clinical classification system of gallbladder cancer, and to investigate the differences of clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis based on patients who underwent radical resection with different types of gallbladder cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 1 059 patients with gallbladder cancer underwent radical resection in 12 institutions in China from January 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.There were 389 males and 670 females, aged (62.0±10.5)years(range:22-88 years).According to the location of tumor and the mode of invasion,the tumors were divided into peritoneal type, hepatic type, hepatic hilum type and mixed type, the surgical procedures were divided into regional radical resection and extended radical resection.The correlation between different types and T stage, N stage, vascular invasion, neural invasion, median survival time and surgical procedures were analyzed.Rates were compared by χ² test, survival analysis was carried by Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank test. Results: Regional radical resection was performed in 940 cases,including 81 cases in T1 stage,859 cases in T2-T4 stage,119 cases underwent extended radical resection;R0 resection was achieved in 990 cases(93.5%).The overall median survival time was 28 months.There were 81 patients in Tis-T1 stage and 978 patients in T2-T4 stage.The classification of gallbladder cancer in patients with T2-T4 stage: 345 cases(35.3%)of peritoneal type, 331 cases(33.8%) of hepatic type, 122 cases(12.5%) of hepatic hilum type and 180 cases(18.4%) of mixed type.T stage(χ²=288.60,P<0.01),N stage(χ²=68.10, P<0.01), vascular invasion(χ²=128.70, P<0.01)and neural invasion(χ²=54.30, P<0.01)were significantly correlated with the classification.The median survival time of peritoneal type,hepatic type,hepatic hilum type and mixed type was 48 months,21 months,16 months and 11 months,respectively(χ²=80.60,P<0.01).There was no significant difference in median survival time between regional radical resection and extended radical resection in the peritoneal type,hepatic type,hepatic hilum type and mixed type(all P>0.05). Conclusion With application of new clinical classification, different types of gallbladder cancer are proved to be correlated with TNM stage, malignant biological behavior and prognosis, which will facilitate us in preoperative evaluation,surgical planning and prognosis evaluation.
