Objective To observe the effect of two different chemotherapy regimens, including irinotecan, folinic acid and FU chemotherapy regimen (FOLFIRI) versus folinic acid, FU and oxaliplatin chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFOX6) on nutritional status in patients with advanced colon cancer. Methods A total of 110 patients with advanced colon cancer in Shanxi Cancer Hospital were divided into FOLFIRI (group A) and mFOLFOX6 (group B). To investigate the effect of two different regimens on the patients with advanced colon cancer by toxicity, the traditional methods of nutritional assessment, scored patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA), nutrition risk screening-2002 (NRS-2002). Shapiro-Wilk was used to detect the normality of small samples, t test was used to analyze measurement data conformed to the normal distribution, Wilcoxon non-parametric test was used to analyze the abnormal distribution data, and enumeration data was detected by using chi-square test. Results The incidence of vomiting, diarrhea and alopecia in group A and group B was respectively 53.8 % (28/52) vs. 29.3 % (17/58), 65.4 % (34/52) vs. 43.1 %(25/58),46.2 %(24/52)vs.20.7 %(12/58)respectively,and there was a significant difference(all P <0.05). The albumin, body mass index, NRS-2002 score, PG-SGA score after chemotherapy were significantly lower than those before chemotherapy in both groups (all P < 0.05). PG-SGA scores after chemotherapy in group A and group B were respectively 7.0 and 5.5 (Z= -2.026, P< 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the albumin, body mass index, triceps skin fold (TSF), arm muscle weeks diameter(MAMC)and NRS-2002 score(all P >0.05).Conclusions FOLFIRI and mFOLFOX6 scheme can reduce the patient's nutritional status. The probability of gastrointestinal adverse reaction of FOLFIRI regimen is high, which may have an obvious impact on nutritional status of patients compared with mFOLFOX6 scheme.

Objective:To explore the trajectory of breast reconstruction in patients with breast cancer at different stages of treatment and to provide reference for medical staff to intervene in breast reconstruction and improve breast reconstruction rate.Methods:During February 2017-October 2017, 192 female patients with breast cancer (aged 20-64 years, mean 49.7 years) were selected by self-designed breast reconstruction demand questionnaire. They were checked up in the diagnosis period, after chemotherapy without chemotherapy, after chemotherapy, and after the completion of chemotherapy.Results:The demand rates for breast reconstruction during the diagnosis period, the period without chemotherapy after mastectomy, the middle period of chemotherapy and after chemotherapy were 10.4%, 13.4%, 16.7% and 17.7% respectively. The main reasons why patients were unwilling to choose breast reconstruction were that patients were worried that breast reconstruction would affect the integrity of cancer resection and worried about cancer recurrence and metastasis. Patients who were unwilling to breast reconstruction planned to choose breast prosthesis, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Menopause was the influencing factor of breast reconstruction demand. Conclusions:After chemotherapy, patients have the highest demand rate for breast reconstruction, and more patients are willing to choose the breast reconstruction method of prosthesis implantation. This period is the best period for medical staff to recommend breast reconstruction treatment.
3.Progress of systemic immune-inflammatory index for predicting the prognosis of digestive system tumors
Cancer Research and Clinic 2023;35(10):797-800
Systemic immune-inflammation index is an effective index reflecting the inflammation and immune state of the body. The calculation formula is platelet count×neutrophil count/lymphocyte count. Because the test of SII is simple and does not increase the burden of patients, SII has been applied to the prognosis assessment of patients with various types of tumors. There are many studies on SII for predicting the prognosis of esophageal cancer, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer after treatment. The patients with higher SII have poorer prognosis. The combination of SII and other inflammatory index will have higher clinical application value.

Objective To establish a simultaneous detection approach for 34 emerging contaminants(ECs)in tap water by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS).Human health risk assessment was performed according to the detection results from 43 tap water samples.Methods Tap water samples were concentrated and extracted by solid phase extraction,and then blown to near dry by nitrogen at 40℃.The sample extracts were dissolved in methanol-water solution(95:5,VN)to 0.5 mL for analyzing.Agilent Jet Stream Electrospray Ionization(AJS ESI)and the multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)mode were performed for MS to acquire the data of 34 ECs.A database including precursor ion,product ion and retention times was established accordingly.Results The average linear correlation coefficients(r)of 34 kinds of ECs was 0.995 9.The limits of detection were 0.01~0.60 ng/L and the recoveries were between 60.7%and 119.8%.The intra-group precisions were between 0.05%~9.89%and the intra-day precisions were between 0.20%~14.40%for the spiked samples.The method was applied to analyze 43 tap water samples and a total of 15 ECs were detected.According to the results,the detection rate of caffeine was the highest(84%),and the concentration range was ND~74.42 ng/L.Among all the ECs detected,1,2,3-benzotriazole had the highest concentration(ND~361.15 ng/L),where detection rate was 44%.Humans may be exposed to these ECs by drinking the tap water.The human health risk assessments of 12 kinds of ECs were carried out,however,the estimated risk was negligible(risk quotient<0.01).Conclusion The method is simple,highly sensitive and selective,and could meet the detection needs of ECs at trace level in tap water.There was no human health risk posed for ECs identified in 43 tap water samples analyzed by this method.
