China Oncology 2015;(9):671-676
Background and purpose:At present, the advanced lung adenocarcinoma is mainly treated by chemotherapy-oriented comprehensive therapy. Pemetrexed as a multi-target antifolate chemotherapeutic drug, combined with platinum, was approved for treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma because of its low toxicity and high efifcacy. The purpose of this study was to compare the short-term clinical efifcacy and toxicity of pemetrexed and docetaxel combined with cisplatin for advanced lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:Fifty patients with stageⅢ-Ⅳ lung adenocarcinoma were randomly divided into two groups. Group PC received pemetrexed (500 mg/m2, d1) combined with cisplatin (75 mg/m2, d1) and group TP received docetaxel (75mg/ m2, d1) combined with cisplatin (75 mg/m2, d1) treatment. One cycle was 21 days in both two groups. The response rate (RR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of the two groups were compared. The peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets and natural killer (NK) cell activity of patients in both groups were measured before and after the treatment, while compared with healthy controls (25 cases).Results:Among 50 patients, no one got complete remission (CR), 20 patients got partial remission (PR), 17 patients had stable disease (SD) and 13 patients had progressive disease (PD).It showed no signiifcant difference in RR, DCR, PFS and OS (P>0.05) between two groups. Compared with group TP, the activity of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ T cells and NK cells increased and CD8+ T cells reduced in group PC after treatment, but the value had no obvious change (P>0.05). The common side effects were hematological toxicity and gastrointestinal response. The incidence of side effects in group PC was lower than that in group TP, and the degree was also slighter (P<0.05).Conclusion:The clinical efifcacy of pemetrexed combined with cisplatin is equal to docetaxel combined with cisplatin in treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma, but the former could reduce the adverse reaction rate.

Objective To study the association of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with dyslipidemia and the risk of dyslipidemia at different BMI and WC level among adults in Suzhou Industrial Park District. Methods A total of 6219 participants were chosen by stratified random cluster sampling method. Four streets were selected form the district first, then one community as a cluster was selected randomly from each street. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests were done by all subjects. Results The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 35.9%;the rates of overweight, obesity and central obesity were 36.6%, 9.6% and 49.5% respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in underweight group, normal weight group, overweight group and obesity group were 13.6%, 30.2%, 47.7%and 59.0% for male, and 17.2%, 27.3%, 38.6%和 48.8% for female respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia for male and female both rose with BMI (χ2=139.848, P<0.001; χ2=92.387, P<0.001). The prevalence of dyslipidemia in the high waist circumference group and normal group were 50.2%and 30.9%for male, and 40.8%and 23.8%for female respectively. Prevalence of groups with high waist circumference for male and female were significantly higher than normal groups (χ2=108.669, P<0.001; χ2=110.642, P<0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride(TG), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were positively correlated with BMI ( r=0.153, P<0.001;r=0.227, P<0.001;r=0.192, P<0.001), and were also positively correlated with WC(r=0.138, P<0.001; r=0.234, P<0.001; r=0.159, P<0.001). High density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) was negatively correlated with BMI (r=-0.189, P<0.001) and WC (r=-0.185, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis after age adjustment showed that, compared to the group with BMI<24 kg/m2 and WC<85 cm(male)/WC<85 cm (female), odds ratios (OR) for male in group with BMI<24 kg/m2 and WC≥85 cm, group with BMI≥24 kg/m2 and WC<85 cm and group with BMI≥24.0 kg/m2and WC≥85 cm were 1.602, 1.834 and 3.064 respectively, and ORs for female in group with BMI<24.0 kg/m2 and WC≥80 cm and group with BMI≥24.0 kg/m2 and WC≥80 cm were 1.703 and 2.381 respectively, however, the OR for female in group with BMI≥24.0 kg/m2 and WC<85 cm was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions BMI, waist circumference and dyslipidemia were closely correlated. Waist circumference is more important than BMI for female.

Objective:To investigate the surgical methods and results of enlarged translabyrinthine approachin the removal of large acoustic neuromas. Method:A large mastoidectomy involved complete exposure of sigmoidsinus, the dura behind the sinus for at least lcm, the superior petrosal sinus and the middle fossa dura. Thejugular bulb was exposed and pressed downwards if necessary. The internal auditory meatus was skeletonizedand uncovered for at least 270°. The debulking of the tumor began inside the anterior and inferior poles in orderto find the brainstem and the facial nerve root as early as possible, then the dissection of the nerve was performedmedially to laterally. Intraoperative facial nerve monitoring and postoperative CT and MRI were performed in allcases. Result:Total removal was achieved in all 18 patients with tumors larger than 3 cm (mean size:4.2 cm).There were no death as well as other complications such as intracranial infection and persistent cerebrospinalfluid leakage. There were no obvious cerebral sequela. The facial nerve was preserved both anatomically andfunctionally in 14 cases, with Grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ in 8 cases,Grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ in 6 cases. Nerve interruption occurred in4 cases who all had severe facial paralysis or nerve interruption before operation. 16 patients returned to workwithin 1~3 months. Conclusion: Total removal of large acoustic neuroma could be acomplished via thetranslabyrinthine approach, with good result of facial nerve function and minimum incidence of morbidity.
