Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS).Methods From January 2009 to December 2012,the clinical data of three type 1 HRS cases and five type 2 HRS cases received TIPS operation were collected.The volume of 24 h urine,liver and renal function,and the occurrence of complications of portal hypertension were recorded and followed-up.Wilcoxon rank sum test was performed for non-normal distributed measurement data.Results TIPS of all the patients was successful and combined with devascularization in four patients.Before operation,the serum creatinine and volume of urine was 204.0 (180.8,229.8) μmol/L and 810 (600,925) mL,seven days after operation was 160.7 (120.2,184.0) μmol/L and 1 300 (975,1 500) mL,respectively,and the differences were statistically significant (Z=-2.1 and-2.2,both P<0.05).One month after operation,renal function of five patients recovered to normal.At the 7th day after operation,total bilirubin level of three patients increased and that of two patients decreased to the preoperative base line value at one month and three month.Mild or moderate hepatic encephalopathy occurred in three patients after operation and relieved after medicine treatment.At 6th month after operation,two of three type 1 HRS patients survived.Of five type 2 HRS patients,one received liver transplantation at 6th week after operation,three of the left four cases survived at the 6th month after operation.Conclusion After safety and efficacy were evaluated,TIPS may be one of the methods used for the treatment of HRS.
4.c-MET gene amplification in advanced primary non-small cell lung cancer and associated lymph node-metastases
Journal of International Oncology 2014;(8):615-619
Objective To examine the positive rate of c-MET gene amplification in primary and lymph node-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer( NSCLC),and to explore their relationships. Methods From November 2011 to November 2013,147 cases of primary NSCLC consisting of 71 cases of paired lymph node-metastatic tumors and 47 cases of normal lung specimens as the control group were collected in General Hospital of Beijing Military Region. The c-MET gene copy number was examined by RT-PCR and the positive rate of c-MET gene amplification among NSCLC population was figured out,thus the consistency of c-MET gene ampli-fication in advanced primary NSCLC and associated lymph node-metastases and the relationship between c-MET gene amplification and clinical data were analyzed. Results The positive rate of c-MET gene amplification on primary tumor was 8. 84% (13 / 147). For those 71 paired cases,the positive rate on primary tumor was 8. 45%(6 / 71),with that of lymph node-metastases 18. 31%(13 / 71). Among the 71 cases,there were 8 cases whose metastases were positive but primary tumors negative and 1 case whose primary tumor was positive but metastases negative. It was of statistical significance between the two groups(McNemar test,χ2 = 4. 274, P = 0. 039). The positive rate of primary tumors could be predicted by lymph node-metastases(κ = 0. 464, P ﹤ 0. 001). The sensitivity was 83. 3% and the specificity was 87. 7% . Positive rate of c-MET amplification was higher in male and smoking patients with lymph node-metastases above N2 . Conclusion c-MET amplifica-tion test should be one of the routine genetic testing projects. The amplification on primary tumors is higher than that on lymph node-metastases,implying that metastases test can pick out more patients with indication. Metas-tases test can predict the amplification on primary focus,and it is an alternative way to guide the treatment of c-MET target medicine. Moreover,the clinical characteristic can be served as an indicator of positive c-MET am-plification.

6.Common immune-related adverse reactions of immune checkpoint inhibitors and their management
Journal of International Oncology 2021;48(2):105-108
At present, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are widely used in clinical, and the common adverse reactions include adverse reactions of skin, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine and liver. Adverse reactions to the lungs and heart are relatively rare, but can be fatal. Systemic steroid therapy is the main treatment for immune related adverse events (irAEs). If there is no response to steroid therapy, an immunomodulator may be considered. Understanding the incidence, pathogenesis, common types and treatment strategies of irAEs can provide theoretical basis for the safe application of ICIs in clinical practice.
