Objective Non-small-cell lung cancer with ipsilateral mediastinal lymph node metastasis (N2) belongs to heterogeneous subgroup. We analyzed the prognosis of patients with resected N2 NSCLC to determine the clinical significance. Methods The present study comprised 146 consecutive patients whom underwent surgical resection of N2 NSCLC between January 1997 and January 2000. Histological type, location, T primary tumor status, operation mode, clinical N2 (cN2) factor, N2 level(single or multiple), number of positive nodes(N2-num), and the cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy were estimated from the date of operation using the Kaplan-Meier and Log Rank analysis. The Cox regression model evaluated the influence of factors on the survival. Results The 3-and 5-year survival rate of these N2 NSCLC patients were 19.86% and 14.56%, respectively. The patients with tumor in the right lower lobe showed a significantly longer survival than left lobes. The histological type, tumor location, cN2 factor, N2 level and N2-number were associated with survival. A multivariate analysis using Cox regression identified 4 factors of prognosis: tumor site, T status, N2 level and clinical N2 status. Conclusion This article has identified N2 NSCLC subgroups and found that patients with mN2, N2L1 and single N2 have better prognosis.

This paper summerized the surgical treatment of primary bronchogenic carcinoma in 3568 cases between 1957-1991. The resectability rate was 90. 3%, postoperative morbidity rate 8.32% and operative mortality 0. 89%. Pathological diagnoses of the resected specimens included squa-mous cell carcinoma for 48.7%, adenocarcinoma 22.9%, small cell cancer 15. 4%, large cell cancer 1. 3% and squa-mous-adenocarcinoma in 10.1%. The follow-up rate was 93%. The 5-and 10-year survival rates were 34.6% and 22.79% respectively. Analyses of the data demonstratad that the histologic type, pathological stage and metastasis of mediastinal lymph node are the important factors affecting the prognosis. According to UICC P-TNM,42. 6% of the patients in this group were in stage III. The 5 year survival rate was 19% in IIIa patients and 6% in IIIb. According to authors experience, it is recommended that in IIIa patients with nonsmall cell cardinoma, active surgical treatment should be adopted; in patients with small cell carcinoma, chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be given pre-and postoperatively, in IIIb patients with small cell carcinoma, surgical treatment is generally not indicated.

Objective To preliminarily investigate the cutoff value of Stroke Aphasic Depression Questionnaire Hospital Version (SADQ-H) in the diagnosis of post-stroke depression. Methods Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, the total scores of 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) greater than 7 points and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-13) greater than 4 points were taken as the cutoff values for the assessment of depression. SADQ-H for the assessment of the depression classification standard in patients with post-stroke aphasia was investigated preliminarily by HAMD-17 (8-17 were mild depression; 18-24 were moderate depression, and>24 was severe depression). Results When HAMD-17 was used as a standard, ROC area under curve (AUC) was 0. 909 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.814-1.005). When 19.50 was used as a cutoff value, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and κ coefficient of SADQ-H were 82. 6%,91.7%, 87. 0%, 83.3%, and 0. 77, respectively. When BDI-13 was used as a standard, ROC AUC was 0. 916 (95% CI 0. 824-1. 008). When choosing 18.50 as a cutoff value of diagnosis,the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and κ coefficient of SADQ-H were 80. 0%, 90. 0%, 84. 0%, 90. 0%, and 0. 68, respectively. The classification standards of SADQ-H for the assessment of depression in patients with post-stroke aphasia were 19, 22 and 26 points. Conclusions When the cutoff value of SADQ-H was 19 points, it had higher sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for the assessment of depression; 19, 22 and 26 points could be used as the classification diagnostic standard of SADQ-H in the assessment of depression in patients with post-stroke aphasia.

A magnetic extraction sorbent based on Fe3 O4@poly ( methacrylic acid-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) ( Fe3 O4@MAED ) was synthesized using methacrylic acid and ethylene dimethacrylate as monomer and cross-linker, respectively. The magnetic sorbent was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and transmission electron microscopy. At the same time, the Fe3 O4@MAED was used to extract four benzoylurea pesticides in water and juice samples under magnetic dispersive solid phase microextraction ( MDSPME ) format. To obtain the optimal extraction conditions, several parameters, including the amount of sorbent, desorption solvent, extraction and desorption time, pH value, and ionic strength in sample matrix were investigated. Based on this, a fast, simple and sensitive method for the determination of benzoylurea pesticides in water and juice samples was developed by the combination of MDSPME with HPLC equipped with diode array detector. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the developed method possessed expected linear dynamic ranges, coefficients of correlation ( R2>0. 99 ) and sensitivity. The limits of detection (S/N=3) for target analytes were 0. 10-0. 19 μg/L in water and 0. 12-0. 30 μg/L in juice, respectively. The RSDs for intra-day were less than 7% and inter-day RSDs were less than 11%. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of benzoylurea pesticides residues in water and juice samples and the recoveries of spiked target compounds were in the range of 69. 4%-118. 0%. The results demonstrated that the Fe3 O4@ MAED could extract benzoylurea pesticides effectively through multi-interactions including hydrophobic, hydrogen-bond and ion-exchange interactions between sorbent and analytes.
