Background and purpose:The aim of this study was to analyze the prognostic factors in uterine adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma treated with a combination of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery.Methods:Clinicopathologic data from 50 patients with stageⅠB2-ⅡA2 uterine cervical cancer were collected from the First Afifliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College between Apr. 2005 and Oct. 2011. All patients underwent neoajuvant chemoradiotherapy, followed by radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. Before surgery, an intravenous chemotherapy was given. A particular vaginal brachytherapy was given to those with tumor diameter≥6 cm. The survival and recurrence in patients were analyzed retrospectively to investigate the prognostic factors. Results:In 50 patients withⅠB2-ⅡA2 uterine adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma, 15 died during the follow-up period. The 2-year and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 80.12% and 72.24%, respectively, and median progression-free survival was 68 months. The 2-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 95.38% and 73.56%, respectively, and median overall survival was 80 months. Univariate analysis revealed that pelvic lymph node metastasis, cervical stromal invasion, parametrial infiltration, tumor diameter reduction <3 cm and advanced stage were the prognostic factors in patients with cervical cancer (P<0.05). Age, postoperative radiochemotherapy, lymphatic clearance involvement, FIGO stage, preservation of ovary and pathologic type were not associated with prognosis (P>0.05). Multivariate Cox proportional analysis revealed that pelvic lymph node metastasis and tumor diameter reduction after radiation and chemotherapy were the independent prognostic factors in patients with cervical cancer. Conclusion:The combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery improves the resectable rate of patients withⅠB2-ⅡA2 uterine adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma. Pelvic lymph node metastasis and tumor diameter reduction after radiation and chemotherapy are the independent prognostic factors in patients with cervical cancer.

Objective To investigate the relationship between lipid fluctuations of daily diet and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) with normal fasting lipid profile. Methods One hundred and ninety?eight cases patients with T2DM who were treated in the Endocrinology Department of the General Hospital of Benxi Iron and Steel Group Corporation from October 2012 to September 2014 were selected. Patients were divided into three groups according to fasting and postprandial 4 h triglyceride( TG4 h)
level,the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h with 38 cases,the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h with 78 cases,the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h with 82 cases. The control group was composed of healthy volunteers with 20 cases. The patients followed daily diet habits to eat,blood glucose, insulin and lipid level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch were monitored. Homeostasis model insulin resistance index( HOMA?IR) was used as an index to evaluate insulin resistance,and the correlation analysis was carried out with fasting and dietary intake of postprandial lipid metabolism. Results (1)HbA1c,FPG,HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level in the patients of the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h,the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h,the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the control group (HbA1c:(8. 4±1. 9)%,(8. 2±2. 4)%,(7. 8±1. 8)% vs. (4. 3±0. 6)%);FPG:(8. 98±1. 93) mmol/L, (8. 62±1. 33) mmol/L,(8. 28±1. 26) mmol/L vs. (4. 82±0. 63) mmol/L;,HOMA?IR:11. 07±0. 11,6. 98 ±0. 08,3. 83±0. 09 vs. 1. 24±0. 16;TG:0 h TG:(2. 35±1. 85) mmol/L,(1. 60±0. 41) mmol/L,(1. 58±0. 46) mmol/L vs. (0. 82±0. 25) mmol/L;2 h TG:(3. 97±2. 96) mmol/L,(2. 98±1. 49) mmol/L,(1. 83±0. 62) mmol/L vs. (1. 22±0. 31) mmol/L;4 h TG:(4. 24±1. 57) mmol/L,(3. 15±1. 63) mmol/L,(1. 92±0. 53) mmol/L vs. (1. 16±0. 24) mmol/L;insulin(0 h insulin:(26. 51±3. 65) mU/L,(18. 18±6. 24) mU/L,(10. 31 ±2. 38) mU/L vs. (5. 87±1. 62) mU/L;2 h insulin:(59. 15±8. 34) mU/L,(43. 75±9. 83) mU/L,(34. 27 ±1. 61) mU/L vs. (25. 24±1. 98) mU/L;4 h insulin:(51. 22±6. 79) mU/L,(40. 06±7. 51) mU/L,(31. 06 ±1.77) mU/L vs. (13.36±1.37) mU/L;P<0.05). (2)WHR(0.90±0.08 vs.0.72±0.06),HOMA?IR, insulin level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch,TG of 2 h,4 h after lunch in the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h ( P<0. 05 ) . ( 3 ) BMI ((27. 3±3. 3) kg/m2 vs. (23. 1±1. 5) kg/m2),WHR(0. 96±0. 10 vs. 0. 72±0. 06),HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch in the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h( P<0. 05) . HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level of fasting and 2 h, 4 h after lunch in the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h( P<0. 05) . ( 4) HOMA?IR was positively correlated with BMI,WHR,and fasting TG levels in the groups with diabetes(r=0. 297,0. 376,0. 326,P<0. 05). HOMA?IR was significantly positively correlated with TG of 2 h,4 h after lunch in the groups with diabetes( r=0. 529,0. 693,P<0. 05) . HOMA?IR was significantly positively correlated with BMI and WHR in the control group(r=0. 617,0. 728,P <0. 05). HOMA?IR was not significantly correlated with fasting and postprandial TG in the control group. Conclusion Postprandial lipid metabolism disorder after daily diet is in some of patients with T2DM with normal fasting lipid profile. Postprandial lipid metabolism disorder after daily diet is significantly positively correlated with insulin resistance in patients with T2DM. Insulin resistance may be one of the pathogenesis of postprandial dyslipidemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.
