Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with conserving-breast surgery in treatment of patients with stage Ⅱ,Ⅲ breast cancer.Methods 85 patients with stage Ⅱ,Ⅲ breast cancer were selected,42 patients in breast-conserving group and 43 patients in modified radical group.Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was used in breast-conserving,while was not used in modified radical group.Efficacy and follow-up results were observed in the two groups.Results After treatment,the CR and PR in the breast-conserving group was 30 cases and the effective rate was 71.4%,which of the modified radical group was 55.8% with 21 patients of CR and PR.After the comparative analysis,the difference was statistically significant(t=4.518,P=0.034).After followed for 12-36 months,the patients in the breast conserving group were all alive and one case of local recurrence.According to breast shape evaluation criteria,34 patients were excellent,accounting for 80.9%;good for the five cases,accounting for 11.9%;bad of two cases,accounting for 4.8% and the excellent rate was 92.9%.According to the patients' own judgment on the breast shape,37 cases were very satisfied,accounting for 88.1%;basic satisfaction for three cases,accounting for 7.1%;dissatisfied 2 cases,accounting for 4.8% and the satisfaction rate was 95.2%.Conclusion Patients with breast cancer of Ⅱ,Ⅲ period before breast-conserving surgery taking chemotherapy can reduce the clinical stage while the postoperative efficacy and breast appearance are good with important clinical value.

Objective:To investigate the effects of continuous monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain oxygen partial pressure (PbtO 2) on the prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral injury. Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Seventy patients with severe craniocerebral injury with a Glasgow coma score (GCS) 4-8 admitted to the neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU) of the People's Hospital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from January 2017 to May 2020 were enrolled, and they were divided into ICP monitoring group and ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group by random number table. Patients in ICP monitoring group received ICP monitoring and were given traditional treatment of controlling ICP and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), the therapeutic target was ICP < 20 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and CPP > 60 mmHg. Patients in ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group were given ICP and PbtO 2 monitoring at the same time, and oxygen flow was adjusted on the basis of controlling ICP and CPP to maintain the PbtO 2 > 20 mmHg, and the therapeutic target of ICP and CPP was the same as the ICP monitoring group. ICP and PbtO 2 values were recorded during monitoring in the two groups, the results of CPP, GCS and arterial blood gas analysis were recorded, and the prognosis at 3 months and 6 months after injury was compared by Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score between the two groups. GOS score > 3 was considered as good prognosis. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn, and the 3-month and 6-month cumulative survival rates of the two groups were analyzed. Linear regression analysis was used to further evaluate the relationship between PbtO 2 and GOS score. Results:Finally, a total of 70 patients with severe craniocerebral injury were enrolled in the analysis, 34 patients received ICP combined with PbtO 2 monitoring and guided therapy, and 36 patients received ICP monitoring alone. The average ICP of ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group was significantly lower than that of ICP monitoring group (mmHg: 13.4±3.2 vs. 18.2±8.3, P < 0.01). Although the CPP in both groups was great than 60 mmHg, the average CPP of ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group was significantly higher than that of ICP monitoring group (mmHg: 82.1±10.5 vs. 74.5±11.6, P < 0.01). No significant difference was found in average GCS score or arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) between the ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group and ICP monitoring group [GCS score: 5.3±2.3 vs. 5.2±2.2, PaCO 2 (mmHg): 33.5±4.8 vs. 32.6±5.2, both P > 0.05]. The average arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2) of ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group was obviously higher than that of ICP monitoring group (mmHg: 228.4±93.6 vs. 167.3±81.2, P < 0.01). Compared with the ICP monitoring group, the good outcome rates of 3 months and 6 months after injury in the ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group were significantly higher (3 months: 67.6% vs. 38.9%, 6 months: 70.6% vs. 41.7%, both P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the 3-month and 6-month cumulative survival rates of ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group were significantly higher than those of ICP monitoring group (3 months: 85.3% vs. 61.1%, Log-Rank test: χ2 = 5.171, P = 0.023; 6 months: 79.4% vs. 55.6%, Log-Rank test: χ2 = 4.511, P = 0.034). Linear regression analysis showed that PbtO 2 was significantly correlated with GOS score at 3 months and 6 months after injury in patients with severe craniocerebral injury ( r values were 0.951 and 0.933, both P < 0.01). Conclusions:PbtO 2 compared with ICP monitoring guiding therapy is valuable in improving the prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral injury. It can improve the prognosis at 3-6 months after injury.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of neck imaging reporting and data systems (NI-RADS) based on MRI in extracavity local recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (ELRNPC) and posttreatment changes (PTC).Methods:From April 2015 to September 2020, 33 cases of ELRNPC and 37 cases of PTC confirmed by pathology or follow-up were retrospectively enrolled at Zhongshan City People′s Hospital. Two radiologists independently evaluated the conventional MRI findings using NI-RADS criteria in the first step, then evaluated with conventional MRI and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) sequences in the second step. All images were re-evaluated by one senior radiologist in the same steps after three months. Inter- and intra-reader agreements were assessed with Cohen′s Kappa test. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to assess the diagnostic values of NI-RADS categories between ELRNPC and PTC. The area under the curve (AUC) was compared by Delong test.Results:Inter- and intra-reader agreements of Kappa value were 0.742 and 0.909 for conventional MRI and 0.807 and 0.934 for conventional MRI with DWI. In the differential diagnosis of ELRNPC and PTC, the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of NI-RADS categories based on conventional MRI were 0.932 (95%CI 0.846-0.978), 87.9% (95%CI 71.8%-96.6%), 94.6% (95%CI 81.8%-99.3%), and of NI-RADS based on conventional MRI with DWI were 0.991 (95%CI 0.933-1.000), 93.9% (95%CI 79.8%-99.3%), 97.3% (95%CI 85.8%-99.9%), respectively. There was a statistical difference between the AUCs of the two categories ( Z=2.20, P=0.028). Conclusions:For both the NI-RADS based on MRI with or without DWI, the differential diagnostic value of ELRNPC and PTC is excellent, while the consistency and diagnostic performance are more substantial when combined with DWI.

Objective:To investigate the effect of continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain oxygen partial pressure (PbtO 2) monitoring and guiding treatment after the application of standard large bone flap decompression and microhematoma removal in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods:A retrospective analysis was done of 41 patients with TBI in Department of Neurosurgery in the Inner Mongolia People's Hospital from January 2018 to May 2020. Patients with Glasgow coma scale (GCS)<8 points were treatesd with microscopical removal of hematoma and contusion brain tissue and standard large bone flap decompression. Intraoperative intracranial pressure and brain tissue oxygen partial pressure monitoring probes were placed. Postoperatively, continuous intracranial pressure monitoring and partial oxygen pressure monitoring of brain tissue were performed, and target-based treatment under ICP and PbtO 2 monitoring was performed. According to the Glasgow Outcome (GOS) score after six months, patients were divided into a good outcome group (4-5 scores) and a poor outcome group (1-3 scores). There were 26 cases in good prognosis group and 15 cases in poor prognosis group. Linear regression analysis was used to further evaluate the relationship between PbtO 2, ICP and GOS score. The measurement data of normal distribution were compared by independent sample t-test. The counting data were expressed in cases (%), and the comparison between groups was adopted χ 2 inspection. The general linear bivariate Pearson correlation test was used. Results:The mean value of PbtO 2 (17.42±5.34) mmHg in the poor prognosis group was lower than that in the good prognosis group (24.65±5.61) mmHg, with statistical significance ( t=4.04, P<0.001). The mean value of ICP (22.32±3.45) mmHg in the poor prognosis group was higher than that (17.32±3.23) mmHg in the good prognosis group, with statistical significance ( t=4.15, P<0.001). Using PbtO 2 and ICP as independent variables and GOS score after 6 months as dependent variable, a regression equation was established ( Y=4.040 X+7.497; Y=-2.549 X+28.63). The mean value of PbtO 2 was positively correlated with GOS scores after 6 months in patients with severe head injury ( r=0.75, P<0.001). The mean value of ICP was negatively correlated with the prognosis of patients with severe head injury ( r=-0.87, P<0.001). Conclusion:The treatment guided by ICP combined with PbtO 2 monitoring is valuable in improving the prognosis of patients with severe traumatic brain injury after standard decompressive craniectomy, and may improve the prognosis 6 months after the injury.

Different centers collected and summarized their data in 2017 and sent back the questionnaires for summary. RESULTS: A total of 8 766 AA patients were enrolled from 43 medical centers, including 4 711 males (53.7%) with median age of 39 years and 958 (10.9%) patients over 65 years old. Of 8 776 patients, 5 677 cases (64.6%) received one or more imaging examinations, and the other 3 099 (35.4%) did not receive any imaging examination. A total of 1 858 (21.2%) cases received medical treatment, mainly a combination of nitroimidazoles (1 107 cases, 59.8%) doublet regimen, followed by a single-agent regimen of non-nitroimidazoles (451 cases, 24.4%), a nitroimidazole-free doublet regimen (134 cases, 7.2%), a triple regimen of combined nitroimidazoles (116 cases, 6.3%), nitroimidazole alone (39 cases, 2.1%) and nitroimidazole-free triple regimen (3 cases, 0.2%). Of the 6 908 patients (78.8%) who underwent surgery, 4 319 (62.5%) underwent laparoscopic appendectomy and 2589 (37.5%) underwent open surgery. Ratio of laparotomy was higher in those patients under 16 years old (392 cases) or over 65 years old (258 cases) [15.1%(392/2 589) and 10.0%(258/2 589), respectively, compared with 8.5%(367/4 316) and 8.0%(347/4 316) in the same age group for laparoscopic surgery, χ²=91.415, P<0.001; χ²=15.915,P<0.001]. Patients with complicated appendicitis had higher ratio of undergoing open surgery as compared to those undergoing laparoscopic surgery [26.7%(692/2 589) vs. 15.6%(672/4 316), χ²=125.726, P<0.001].The cure rates of laparoscopic and open surgery were 100.0% and 99.8%(2 585/2 589) respectively without significant difference (P=0.206). Postoperative complication rates were 4.5%(121/2 589) and 4.7%(196/4 316) respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ²=0.065, P=0.799). The incidence of surgical site infection was lower (0.6% vs. 1.7%, χ²=17.315, P<0.001), and hospital stay was shorter [6(4-7) days vs. 6(5-8) days, U=4 384 348.0, P<0.001] in the laparoscopic surgery group, while hospitalization cost was higher (median 12 527 yuan vs. 9 342 yuan, U=2 586 809.0, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of acute appendicitis is still clinically based, supplemented by imaging examination. Appendectomy is still the most effective treatment at present. Laparoscopic appendectomy has become the main treatment strategy, but anti-infective drugs are also very effective.
