Objective To explore the efficiency of postoperative individualized chemotherapy based on genetic testing results for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Fifty-six NSCLC patients at stageⅡorⅢA who accepted video-assisted thoracic operation were divided into two groups:the individualized chemotherapy group (n=26) and non individual?ized chemotherapy group (n=30). The fresh lung tumor tissue of individualized chemotherapy group was tested target gene,in?cluding excision repair cross complementing 1 (ERCC1),ribonucleotide reductase subunit M1 (RRM1),β-tubulinⅢ,thymi?dylate synthase(TS),epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1). The theraputic plan was based on genetic testing results in individualized chemotherapy group, and the non individualized chemotherapy group re?ceiving gemcitabine plus cisplatin. The 1-year disease free survival (DFS), 2-year disease free survival (DFS), the progres?sion-free survival (PFS) and the overall survival (OS) were compared between two groups. Results The 2-year DFS (57.69%), PFS (22.1 ± 5.0 months) and OS (24.1 ± 3.2 months) were significantly higher in the individualized chemotherapy group than those of non individualized chemotherapy group (respectively 30.00%, 18.9 ± 6.2 months, 21.9 ± 4.3 months, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in 1-year DFS between two groups (88.46%vs 83.33%, P<0.05). Conclusion The individualized chemotherapy based on genetic testing results can enhance the 2-year DFS, PFS, OS and the efficiency of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for NSCLC.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopic intrathoracic fixation in the treatment of multiple rib fractures.Methods Clinical data of 93 cases of multiple rib fractures in our department from August 2019 to April 2022 were retrospectively compared.They were divided into thoracoscopic group(n=50)and traditional group(n=43)according to surgical methods.In the thoracoscopic group,the memory alloy rib plate was used for thoracoscopic intrathoracic fixation,and in the traditional group,the memory alloy rib plate was used for traditional thoracotomy to treat multiple rib fractures.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative catheter duration,postoperative pain time,postoperative drainage volume,and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results As compared with the traditional group,the thoracoscopic group had significantly shorter operation time[(96.1±24.7)min vs.(110.2±29.1)min,t=-2.526,P=0.013],less intraoperative blood loss[(76.0±38.4)ml vs.(140.2±80.8)ml,t=-4.767,P=0.000],shorter postoperative catheter duration[(3.9±1.6)d vs.(6.2±1.8)d,t=-2.739,P=0.008],less postoperative drainage volume[(132.4±53.9)ml vs.(157.9±50.5)ml,t=-2.345,P=0.021],shorter postoperative hospital stay[(5.8±2.5)d vs.(9.7±2.5)d,t=-4.397,P=0.000],and shorter pain time[(4.9±1.2)d vs.(5.8±1.4)d,t=-2.199,P=0.030].The incidence of postoperative pneumonia,atelectasis,and pleural effusion in the thoracoscopic group was significantly lower than that in the traditional group(P<0.05).Follow-ups at 1,3,and 12 months after surgery showed that the rib plate was firmly fixed without any displacement,deformation,or detachment.Conclusion Video-assisted thoracoscopic intrathoracic fixation in the treatment of multiple rib fractures has advantages of less trauma,less pain,faster recovery,and definite clinical results,which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
