BACKGROUND:Lung cancers are highly heterogeneous and resistant to available therapeutic agents, with a five year survival rate of less than 15%. It has been difficult to determine the basis of lung cancer heterogeneity and drug resistance. Cancer stem cellmodel has attracted a significant amount of attention in recent years as a viable explanation for the heterogeneity, drug resistance, dormancy and recurrence and metastasis of various tumors. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the current understanding of lung cancer stem cells, including their histological types and tumor growth areas, and to discusses the prognosis of lung cancer and its relationship with lung cancer stem cells, in an effort to eradicate these cells to combat lung cancer. METHODS:In order to search relevant articles about the lung cancer stem celland its relationship with lung cancer from PubMed and Sciencedirect databases (from 1990 to 2014), a computer-based search was performed, using the key words of“lung cancer, cancer stem cell, lung cancer stem cell, lung cancer occur, tumor heterogeneity, drug resistance, gene mutation, signal pathways”in English. After eliminating literatures which were irrelevant to research purpose or containing a similar content, 48 articles were chosen for further analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cancer stem cellmodel has gained considerable support recently in context of lung cancers and stem-like cells that are associated with aggressive cancer behavior, metastatic progression, resistance to therapy and relapse. Since lung cancer stem cells are thought to consist of a heterogeneous population depending on the histology and site of tumors, and multiple signaling pathways might have to be targeted to effectively eliminate lung cancer stem cells for therapeutic benefit. It can be imagined that the multidisciplinary efforts currently under way to characterize and target stem-like cells in lung cancer wil reap significant therapeutic benefits in the future.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that lung cancer stem cel s can be isolated from lung cancer cel lines. But there are few reports about in vitro isolation, culture and identification of lung cancer stem cel s in patients with lung squamous carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the feasible methods of harvesting lung cancer stem cel s from fresh lung cancer tissue in patients with lung squamous carcinoma.
METHODS:Side population cel s were isolated by col agenase digestion, Ficol density gradient centrifugation and Hoechst 33342 solution. The isolated cel s were suspended in conditioned medium for isolated culture. Flow cytometry method was used to detect lung cancer stem cel s based on the cel surface markers CD133 and CD44, and the positive rates of CD133+, CD44+and CD133+/CD44+cel s were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Cel s adhered at 0.5 hour after incubation;typical cel colony was formed at 4 days of culture;cel s showed paving stone-shape at 7 days in a total number of 10 8. The positive rates of CD133+, CD44+and CD133+/CD44+cel s at passage 4 were increased significantly. These findings indicate that stem cel-like lung cancer cel s were obtained from fresh lung cancer tissue in patients with lung squamous carcinoma, which were stably and rapidly amplified in vitro, laying the foundation for the further study on the heterogeneity and resistance of lung cancer stem cel s in the future.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that lung cancer stem cels can be isolated from the lung cancer cel lines, But there are few reports on in vitro isolation, culture and identification of lung cancer stem cels in patients with lung squamous carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE:To establish the feasible methods of harvesting lung cancer stem cels from fresh lung cancer tissues in patients with lung squamous carcinoma, and to investigate the alterations in cel number and function during primary culture.
METHODS: Side population cels were isolated by colagenase digestion, Ficol density gradient centrifugation and Hoechst 33342 efflux properties. The isolated cels were isolated and cultured in conditioned medium. Flow cytometry method was used to detect lung cancer stem cels based on the cel surface markers CD133 and CD44, and the positive rates of CD133+, CD44+ and CD133+/CD44+ were recorded. The single cel clones assay, flat colony formation assay and the cel sphere formation assay were used to identify the stem-like characteristics of lung cancer stem cels between the first and fourth generations.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The positive rates of CD133+, CD44+ and CD133+/CD44+ cels at the fourth generation were increased significantly, and the positive rates of CD133+ and CD133+/CD44+ cels at passage 4 were significantly higher than those at the first generation. The abilities of single cel clone formation, the flat colony formation and the cel sphere formation in the fourth-generation cels were greatly enhanced compared with the first-generation cels. Experimental findings showed that stem cel-like lung cancer cels were obtained from fresh lung cancer tissue in patients with lung squamous carcinoma, which stably and rapidly amplified in vitro, laying the foundation for the further study of the heterogeneity and drug resistance of lung cancer stem cels.

OBJECTIVE:
To compare the clinical efficacy of staged surgery on Sanders Ⅳ calcaneal fractures with soft tissue Ⅲ swelling.
METHODS:
The clinical data of 76 patients with Sanders type Ⅳ closed calcaneal fracture with soft tissue three-degree swelling treated from June 2017 to May 2020 was retrospectively analyzed, including 54 males and 22 females, aged from 25 to 50 (38.16±10.24) years. The patients were divided into observation group and control group according to different treatment methods. Twenty-four patients in the observation group were treated by staged surgery stageⅠclosed prying traction reduction and Kirschner wire fixation, stageⅡopen reduction and internal fixation with titanium plate, including 17 males and 7 females, aged from 25 to 50 (36.12±9.56) years. There were 52 patients in the control group, including 37 males and 15 females, aged from 25 to 50 (38.32±10.67) years, these patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with titanium plate after the dermatoglyphic signs appeared. The swelling subsidence time, the length of hospitalization days, and the incidence of postoperative incision complications were compared between two groups. The Bhler angle, Gissane angle, and calcaneal varus angle were measured by X-ray before and 6 months after operation. American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) about the ankle hindfoot score was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy.
RESULTS:
All 76 patients were followed up for 8 to 12 (9.52±2.01) months. The swelling subsidence time and hospitalization days in observation group were (12.12± 3.24) d and (24.53±6.44) d, respectively, which in control group were (15.16±4.16) d and (29.46±9.61) d, with statistical difference between two groups (
CONCLUSION
Compared with open reduction and internal fixation with titanium plate after the appearance of dermatoglyphic signs, staged surgery for Sanders type Ⅳ calcaneal fractures with soft tissue three-swelling does not increase the risk of soft tissue complications, and can significantly shorten the patient's swelling subsidence time and hospitalization days, improve the quality of fracture reduction and short term function, and relieve pain.

Objective:
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the modified Stoppa approach in the surgical treatment of pelvic fractures of Tile type C combined with acetabular both-column fractures.
Methods:
Between April 2014 and April 2017, a total of 14 patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) through the modified Stoppa approach at Department of Orthopaedics, Foshan Gaoming Hospital for pelvic fractures of Tile type C combined with acetabular both-column fractures. They were 10 men and 4 women, with an average age of 36.4 years (from 23 to 57 years). The modified Stoppa approach was used exclusively in 4 cases, in combination with the iliac fossa approach in 3 ones, in combination with the Kocher-Langenbeck approach in 4 ones and in combination with the Kocher-Langenbeck and iliac fossa approaches in 3 ones. In all the patients, the pelvic reconstructive plate and screws and lag screws were used. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative fracture reduction, fracture union time, efficacy and complications were recorded.
Results:
The operation time averaged 170 min (from 110 to 330 min) and the intraoperative bleeding 420 mL (from 240 to 1 100 mL). There were no operative complications. By the Matta evaluation, the postoperative reduction was rated as excellent in the 14 pelvic fractures and 9 acetabular both-column fractures and as good in 5 acetabular both-column fractures. Of this series, 13 patients were followed up for an average of 19 months (from 12 to 29 months) and one was lost to the follow-up. The fractures got united after an average time of 3.4 months (from 2.7 to 4.6 months). Screw loosening was observed in one case and mild limitation to hip flexion in one. Follow-ups found no lateral ventral syndrome or femoral head necrosis. Their Harris hip scores at the last follow-up ranged from 70 to 94 points, averaging 84 points. The function of the affected hip was excellent in 6 cases, good in 5 and fair in 2.
Conclusion
The modified Stoppa approach may be used exclusively or in combination with other approaches to treat effectively the pelvic fractures of Tile type C combined with acetabular both-column fractures, leading to good short-term clinical outcomes.

Objective:To explore the current situation of knowledge, attitude and practice in the prevention and treatment of lymphedema after tumor treatment among nurses in cancer hospitals, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study. From October to November 2021, convenience sampling was used to survey 478 nurses from Hunan Cancer Hospital using the self-made Lymphedema Prevention and Treatment Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire, which included 41 items from three dimensions of knowledge, attitudes and practice. The influencing factors of nurses' knowledge, attitude and behaviors related to lymphedema were studied using univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results:The knowledge, attitude and practice scores and the total score of nurses in the cancer hospital regarding the prevention and treatment of lymphedema after tumor treatment were (17.05±9.81) , (49.96±6.03) , (30.51±11.03) , and (97.53±21.52) , respectively. The score rate of knowledge dimension was the lowest at 42.63%, while the score rate of attitude dimension was the highest at 90.84%. Multiple linear regression showed that working with lymphedema patients, participation in lymphedema training, training forms (on-the-job continuing education, school studies, self-study) , and the nurses' department being the breast or gynecological oncology department were the influencing factors for the nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice in the prevention and treatment of lymphedema ( F=15.801, P<0.01) . Conclusions:Nurses in the cancer hospital generally have a moderate level of knowledge, attitude and practice in the prevention and treatment of lymphedema after tumor treatment. They have poor knowledge mastery and need to improve their behavioral, but their attitude is relatively positive. Nursing managers in cancer hospitals should strengthen training on lymphedema related knowledge among nurses from departments other than breast and gynecological oncology, strengthen nurses' knowledge and behavior in the prevention and treatment of lymphedema, and cultivate lymphedema therapists and specialized nurses. At the national level, policies should be introduced to establish a complete lymphedema rehabilitation training system, and improve nurses' ability to prevent and treat lymphedema in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVETo observe the anesthetic efficacy and safety of bilateral ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block in patients undergoing arthrolysis for shoulder periarthritis.
METHODSTwenty-seven patients (ASA class I-II) undergoing bilateral shoulder joint release surgery and 24 ml received bilateral ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block anesthesia with 0.4% ropivacaine and 0.8% lidocaine. The visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for shoulder joint pain were recorded before and after anesthesia. The efficacy of axillary nerve, dorsal scapular nerve and suprascapular nerve block was evaluated, and the anesthetic effect and complications was assessed during surgery. Before and after anesthesia, the range of left and right diaphragmatic muscle movement was measured when the patient took a quiet breath and a deep breath.
RESULTSThe patients showed no significant variations in MAP, HR, or SpO₂after anesthesia. The VAS scores of shoulder joint pain during anteflexion, abduction, posterior extension, rotation, posterior extension and medial rotation were significantly lowered after anesthesia (P<0.05), but the left and the right diaphragm movement range showed no significant difference between quiet breath and deep breath (P>0.05). The rates of complete block of the axillary nerve and dorsal scapular nerve was 100%, and that of suprascapular nerve was 92.6%. Partial phrenic nerve block occurred in 1 case with mild local anesthetic toxicity in another.
CONCLUSIONSBilateral ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block in patients has excellent analgesic effect in should joint release surgery with good safely.

OBJECTIVES:
Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the female reproductive system worldwide. The recurrence rate for the treated cervical cancer patients is high, which seriously threatens women's lives and health. At present, the risk prediction study of cervical cancer has not been reported. Based on the influencing factors of cervical cancer recurrence, we aim to establish a risk prediction model of cervical cancer recurrence to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer recurrence.
METHODS:
A total of 4 358 cervical cancer patients admitted to the Hunan Cancer Hospital from January 1992 to December 2005 were selected as research subjects, and the recurrence of cervical cancer patients after treatment was followed up. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the possible influencing factors. Variables that were significant in univariate analysis or those that were not significant in univariate analysis but may be considered significant were included in multivariate Cox regression analysis to establish a cervical cancer recurrence risk prediction model. Line graphs was used to show the model and it was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis.
RESULTS:
Univariate analysis showed that the recurrence rates of cervical cancer patients with different age, age of menarche, parity, miscarriage, clinical stage, and treatment method were significantly different (all P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that RR=-0.489×(age≥55 years old)+0.481×(age at menarche >15 years old)+0.459×(number of miscarriages≥3)+0.416×(clinical stage II)+0.613×(clinical stage III/IV)+0.366×(the treatment method was surgery + chemotherapy) + 0.015×(the treatment method was chemotherapy alone). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the Cox risk prediction model for cervical cancer recurrence constructed was 0.736 (95% CI 0.684 to 0.789), the best prediction threshold was 0.857, the sensitivity was 0.576, and the specificity was 0.810. The accuracy of the Cox risk model constructed by this model was good. From the clinical decision curve, the net benefit value was high and the validity was good.
CONCLUSIONS
Patient age, age at menarche, miscarriages, clinical stages, and treatment methods are independent factors affecting cervical cancer recurrence. The Cox proportional hazards prediction model for cervical cancer recurrence constructed in this study can be better used for predicting the risk of cervical cancer recurrence.
