OBJECTIVETo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer (AGC).

METHODSClinical control trials about the efficacy and safety of surgery combined with HIPEC in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer published before June 2014 were searched in Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Wanfang database and CNKI database. Quality of enrolled articles was evaluated with the guidelines from Cochrane collaborative network. All the retrieved data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software for meta-analysis. Sensitivity analysis was performed by exclusion of non-randomly clinical control trials. Publication bias was evaluated by failure safe number (Nfs0.05).

RESULTSOf the 1489 AGC cases included from 16 literature, 698 underwent surgery with HIPEC (HIPEC group) while 791 underwent surgery alone (control group). According to whether or not the patient presented macroscopic peritoneal metastasis before the surgery, the HIPEC group was further divided into the curative HIPEC (n=102) and prophylactic HIPEC groups (n=421). The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with control group, the 1-year (OR=2.26, 95%CI:1.71 ~ 3.00, P=0.000), 3-year (OR=2.27, 95%CI:1.80 - 2.87, P=0.000) and 5-year (OR=1.58, 95%CI:1.20 - 2.07, P=0.001) survival rates of HIPEC group were significantly improved with significantly decreased overall recurrence rate of liver, lung, bone or peritoneal metastasis (OR=0.43, 95%CI:0.26 - 0.71, P=0.001) and lower peritoneal metastasis recurrence rate (OR=0.30, 95%CI:0.17 - 0.52, P=0.000). However, there was higher incidence of procedure-related morbidity in the HIPEC group (OR=1.67, 95%CI:1.13 - 2.45, P=0.009), whereby the incidences of myelotoxicity (OR=4.90, 95%CI:1.05 - 22.83, P=0.040) and renal insufficiency were higher (OR=3.59, 95%CI:1.67 - 7.74, P=0.001). While the other complications, such as anastomotic leakage, intestinal obstruction and respiratory diseases were not significantly different between the two groups(all P>0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that compared with control group, the rates of peritoneal recurrence and metastasis in the prophylactic HIPEC group were significantly lower (OR=0.34, 95%CI:0.24 - 0.48, P=0.000), while such rates were not significantly different in curative HIPEC group (OR=0.07, 95%CI:0.00 - 1.88, P=0.110).

CONCLUSIONSSurgery combined with HIPEC can improve survival of AGC patients and reduce the recurrence rate after surgery. However its safety should be improved in the future.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between the grouping and weighting of two sets of disease combination systems, namely diagnosis-related groups(DRG) and diagnosis-intervention packet(DIP), and to establish a multidimensional analysis and evaluation mode by applying DRG, DIP, and clinical pathway to guide the standardized diagnosis and treatment and management of disease types.Methods:DRG grouping and DIP simulation full enrollment were applied to patients discharged from a tertiary Grade A general hospital in 2019. The correlation analysis between DRG, DIP, and clinical pathway inclusion(entry), correlation analysis between relative weight of DRG group and DIP standard score, and correlation analysis between clinical pathway entry and cost structure of the two disease groups were conducted by using chi-square test, Pearson correlation analysis, t-test, structural change value, degree of structural change, and incremental contribution rate. Results:Among the 130 395 patients, 41 460 cases entered the clinical pathway, 127 535 cases were enrolled in DRG, and 104 227 cases were enrolled in DIP. There was a correlation between the enrollment of DRG, DIP, and clinical pathway( P<0.05), and there was also a correlation between the relative weight of DRG groups and the enrollment of clinical pathway. The relative weight of the DRG disease group was positively correlated with the DIP standard score( r2=0.761 7, P<0.001). There was a significant difference in hospitalization costs between patients with and without clinical pathway access for some diseases( P<0.05), and different cost categories had different impacts on the total costs. Conclusions:The weight assignment and value orientation of DRG and DIP disease types are consistent, and the multi-dimensional fusion evaluation mode for DRG-DIP-clinical pathway is feasible. The correlation analysis of DRG, DIP, and clinical pathways can serve as the basis for disease classification and cost structure evaluation, which could help to carry out hospital′s refined management and optimize disease structure.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to explore the critical values of monitored indexes of perioperative major adverse cardiac events(MACE), so as to take effective prevention and treatment measures in time to maintain the stability of perioperative cardiac function to further improve the perioperative safety of elderly patients with biliary diseases.Methods:The clinical data of 246 elderly patients with biliary diseases in our hospital from May 2016 to February 2022 were collected.According to whether MACE occurred during the perioperative period, they were divided into the MACE group and the non-MACE group.The differences of clinical data, the monitoring indexes of postoperative cardiac function, and the coagulation function between the two groups were compared and analyzed.Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of perioperative MACE, the cut-off value of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was calculated, and the Logistic multivariate prediction model was established.Results:In the MACE compared with the non-MACE group, age, postoperative complications and mortality, postoperative hospital stay, and the levels of postoperative high sensitivity troponin-I(Hs-TnI), creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB), myoglobin(MYO), B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP), and D-dimer(D-D)were significantly increased(all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that postoperative BNP and D-D were two independent risk factors for perioperative MACE, and their cut-off values in the ROC curve were 382.65 pg/mL and 0.975mg/L respectively.The Logistic multivariate prediction model established by the Logistic regression equation was P= ex/(1+ ex), X=-5.710+ 0.003X 1+ 0.811X 2, where X 1 was the postoperative BNP level and X 2 was the postoperative D-D level.The accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of this prediction model for predicting perioperative MACE were 96.3%(237/246), 100.0%(235/235), and 18.2%(2/11). Conclusions:The Logistic multivariate prediction model established in this study can effectively predict the occurrence of perioperative MACE in elderly patients.Postoperative BNP and D-D were two independent risk factors for perioperative MACE.The cut-off values of BNP and D-D in the ROC curve could be used as critical values for monitoring perioperative MACE.Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to take effective prevention and treatment measures in time to maintain the stability of perioperative cardiac function, and further improve the perioperative safety of elderly patients with biliary diseases.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of laparoscopy in the postoperative recurrence of peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer, and to investigate the efficacy of bidirectional intraperitoneal and systemic (BIPS) chemotherapy for the recurrence.Methods:The descriptive case series study was conducted. Case inclusion criteria: (1) gastric cancer patients without synchronous distant metastasis received D2 radical gastrectomy; (2) postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was administered; (3) no other distant metastasis except recurrence of peritoneal metastasis; (4) age of 18-75 years; (5) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance-status score≤2; (6) pretreatment evaluation suggested that surgery and chemotherapy could be tolerated. Eight consecutive gastric cancer patients with postoperative recurrence of peritoneal metastasis who met the above criteria at Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Ruijin Hospital from September 2015 to September 2016 were enrolled into the study. There were 6 males and 2 females with the median age of 52 (38-68) years. They received laparoscopy or laparotomy first, and then were evaluated with reference to the Sugarbaker peritoneal cancer index (PCI) and the peritoneal metastasis classification of gastric cancer developed by the Japanese Gastric Cancer Research Association. A peritoneal access port was implanted in the subcutaneous space of the lower abdomen and the patients received chemotherapy for 21 days as a course of treatment. All the patients received intraperitoneal 20 mg/m 2 of paclitaxel (PTX) via implanted subcutaneous peritoneal access ports and intravenous 50 mg/m 2 of PTX at day 1 and day 8, meanwhile 80 mg/m 2 of Tigio was orally administered per day for 14 consecutive days, followed by 7 days of interval. Follow-up ended on December 15, 2019. Results:Of these 8 patients with recurrence of peritoneal metastasis after gastric cancer surgery, 1 case underwent laparotomy and loop stoma of terminal ileum because of complete colonic obstruction, and the remaining 7 cases underwent laparoscopy successfully and the recurrence of peritoneal metastasis was clearly diagnosed. Two patients with ovarian metastasis underwent laparoscopic bilateral adnexectomy. The median follow-up time was 17.5 (1.5 to 39.0) months, the median number of BIPS chemotherapy course was 11 (1 to 30), and the median survival time (MST) after BIPS chemotherapy was 17.0 months. The major adverse reaction in BIPS treatment was mainly myelosuppression, of which grade 3/4 leukopenia and neutropenia developed in 1 and 2 cases respectively. No BIPS-related death occurred. The MST of gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy was 40.0 months.Conclusions:Laparoscopy is a safe and feasible method for diagnosing the recurrence of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. BIPS chemotherapy is effective and safe for its treatment and deserves further study.
