Objective To investigate the effects of preoperative selective gastric arterial chemoembolization on the tumor vasculature in patients with gastric carcinoma.Methods 40 patients with gastric cancer were divided into two groups :(1)gastric arterial influsion(GAI)group;and (2)gastric arterial chemoembolization(GAE)group.The peripheral vein plasma tumor necrosis factor(TNF ?) and thrombomodulin(TM)were determined before radiologic intervention(RI),and1d,3d after R1;and the gastric vein plasma TNF ? and TM were also determined during operation.The curative surgical resection of gastric cancer was performed between 7 and 10 days after treatment.Stomach histological alterations were observed postoperatively.Results Compared with GAI group ,the plasma TNF ? levels increased markedly at all the time points,and gastric vein plasma TM levels decreased siginificantly in GAE group (P

Following the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technologies, especially the development of large language models like ChatGPT, the field of medical clinical practice is undergoing an unprecedented technological revolution. These advanced technologies, through efficient processing and analysis of large datasets, not only provide medical professionals with auxiliary diagnoses and treatment suggestions but also significantly enhance the quality and efficiency of medical education. This study conducts a comprehensive analysis and review of the applications of large language models in various aspects, including clinical inquiry, history collection, medical literature writing, clinical decision support, optimization of medical portal websites, patient health management, medical education, academic research, and scientific writing. However, the application of these technologies is not without flaws and presents several limitations and ethical challenges. This paper focuses on challenges related to technological errors, academic dishonesty, abuse risks, over-reliance, possibilities of misdiagnosis and treatment errors, and issues of accountability. In conclusion, large language models demonstrate tremendous potential in the integration and advancement of medical practices. Nevertheless, while fully harnessing the benefits brought by ChatGPT, it is essential to acknowledge and address these ethical challenges to ensure that the application of ChatGPT in the medical field is responsible and effective.

Objective To explore the value of preoperative detection of soluble fragments of cytokeratin-19 (CYFRA21-1), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and postoperative detection of nuclear proliferation associated antigen Ki67 in prognostic evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer patients. Methods The clinicopathological data and follow-up results of patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University in 2017 were collected. CYFRA21-1>3.39 ng/mL was defined as positive, and CEA>5 ng/mL was defined as positive. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) of Ki67 expression level was drawn. The maximum area under the curve (AUC) was the cutoff value of Ki67 expression level, and the Ki67 expression level greater than its cutoff value was defined as positive. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Results Finally 248 patients were collected, including 125 males and 123 females, with a median age of 61 years (ranging from 30 to 81 years) at the time of surgery. Univariate analysis showed that positive CYFRA21-1, high expression of Ki67, positive CEA, age≥60 years at operation, distant metastasis, lymph node metastasis, maximum tumor diameter>3 cm, and TNM stage Ⅲ were associated with poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. When combined detection of preoperative tumor markers and postoperative Ki67, the prognosis of all negative patients was the best, and that of all positive patients was the worst. Cox regression analysis showed that positive CEA+positive CYFRA21-1+high expression of Ki67 was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (P<0.05). Conclusion The combined detection of preoperative serum CYFRA21-1, CEA, and postoperative Ki67 has important value in evaluating the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer patients.
