1.Discusskm of hospital credibility
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 1996;0(02):-
The authors first expound the connotations of hospital credibility and then set forth a number of viewpoints. They hold that hospital credibility refers to the hospital's fulfillment of its commitments and obligations in its medical practice, that the hospital should attach importance to the value of credibility in advancing the medical cause, and that hospital credibility plays an indispensable role in the medical and health cause. Lastly, the authors give a detailed account of the principles for establishing hospital credibility, the standards and methods for evaluating hospital credibility, the system for cataloguing hospital credibility files, and the measures for enhancing hospital credibility.

Background and purpose:Promoter methylation ofPCDH10, a gene encoding protocadherin 10, has been found to be correlated to poor prognosis in gastric cancer (GC) patients. However, the relationship between the expression of PCDH10 and prognosis in GC remained unknown. This study aimed to explore the relationship be-tween the expression of PCDH10 and clinicopathological features and prognosis of GC, and to identify biomarker for predictions of recurrence and survival of GC.Methods:mRNA expressions of PCDH10 in 115 pairs of GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were detected by real-time lfuorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR). The correlation between PCDH10 expression level and clinicopathological features and prognosis of GC was analyzed. Prediction models for 5-year recurrence and 5-year survival were established using logistic regression method.Results:Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were signiifcantly prolonged in patients with PCDH10 low expression compared to patients without PCDH10 low expression (P=0.046 andP=0.033 respectively). PCDH10 low expression signiifcantly correlated with less lymph node metastasis (P=0.001) and earlier TNM staging (P=0.001), and was more common in female than in male (P=0.040). The mRNA expression of PCDH10 did not correlate with age, Lauren classiifcation, T stage, neural invasion or vascular invasion. Univariate Cox analysis showed Lauren classiifca-tion, T stage, N stage, M stage and PCDH10 expression signiifcantly correlated with PFS and OS. Logistic regression models for the prediction of 5-year recurrence or 5-year survival based on clinicopathological features included Lauren classiifcation, T stage, N stage and M stage as variables. Logistic regression models for the prediction of 5-year recur-rence or 5-year survival based on PCDH10 expression included Lauren classiifcation, T stage, M stage and PCDH10 expression level but not N stage as variables. The models based on PCDH10 expression had the same effciencies as models based on clinical parameters in predicting 5-year recurrence or 5-year survival for GC patients.Conclusion:PCDH10 low expression correlated with better prognosis, less lymph node metastasis and earlier TNM stage in GC patients. Low expression of PCDH10 may be a biomarker of better survival for GC patients. Logistic regression model based on PCDH10 mRNA expression may serve as a prediction model when patients have unknown lymph node metas-tasis status.

Objective To investigate the expression of MPZL1 in gastric cancer tissues, its relation with the prognosis, and its effects on proliferation and colony formation of gastric cancer. Methods GEPIA and UALCAN databases were used to analyze the expression of MPZL1 in various malignant tumors. The KM Plotter database and UALCAN database were used to analyze the effect of MPZL1 on the overall survival of gastric cancer patients. The expression of MPZL1 protein and the changes of apoptosis-related proteins in gastric cancer cells were detected by Western blot, and the effects of MPZL1 expression on cell proliferation and colony formation were detected by CCK-8 and colony formation assay, respectively. Results MPZL1 was found to be highly expressed in various malignant tumors by GEPIA database. The results of UALCAN and KM Plotter databases analysis showed that MPZL1 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues, and might be correlated with the overall survival of gastric cancer patients. The results of CCK-8 and colony formation assay showed that the overexpression of MPZL1 promoted the proliferation and colony formation ability of gastric cancer cells (

BACKGROUND:
Among malignant tumors, lung cancer has the highest mortality rate. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a kind of malignant lung cancer. Its doubling time is very fast. Patients are prone to drug resistance during treatment, and their condition often deteriorates rapidly after recurrence. Except for topotecan, there is a lack of effective second-line single-agent chemotherapy. This study aims to analysis the efficacy and safety of irinotecan (CPT-11) in the second-line treatment of refractory and relapsed SCLC.
METHODS:
A total of 107 SCLC patients were collected from the Department of Oncology, Jilin Guowen Hospital, who were diagnosed from April 2012 to March 2020, relapsed within 6 months after first-line treatment, and received second-line chemotherapy with single-agent CPT-11. Follow-up until November 2020, calculate the patient's progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and summarize the effects and adverse reactions of CPT-11 chemotherapy.
RESULTS:
The patient's median PFS was 3.8 (3.4-4.4) months, median OS was 8.1 (6.5-10.9) months, objective response rate (ORR) was 16.82% (18/107), and DCR was 55.14% (59/107). The incidence of grade 3-4 adverse reactions in patients was relatively low. Among them, neutropenia was 13.08%, delayed diarrhea was 7.48%, nausea and vomiting was 17.76%, and liver function impairment was 6.54%. The influencing factors of PFS in single-agent CPT-11 second-line chemotherapy were gender (P=0.001), NSE (P=0.029), and effusion (P=0.040). While the influencing factors of OS were NSE level only (P=0.033).
CONCLUSIONS
For patients with refractory relapsed SCLC, CPT-11 single-agent second-line chemotherapy has a certain effect, is well tolerated, and is worthy of promotion.
