China Oncology 2006;0(08):-
Effects of antineoplastic agents on endocrine system are common, but it is difficult to identify since clinical complaints are subtle, and even more difficult to relate a particular chemotherapeutic regimen to the induced endocrine disturb. This review was organized according to the pattern of endocrine system diseases induced by antineoplastic agents, such as disorders of glucose metabolism, free water clearance, mineral metabolism, lipid metabolism and GH secretion and growth, metabolic bone diseases, adrenal dysfunction, thyroid disorders and reproductive dysfunction. Early detection and treatment of endocrine deficiency may have a significant impact on the quality and duration of life in a cancer survivor.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2016;32(32):2495-2499
Objective To evaluate the effect of wound experts′ intervention on the primary caregivers′ behavior of caring patients with pressure ulcers. Methods According to the principle of convenience sampling, 200 cases of patients with out-hospital pressure ulcers were collected in the hospital emergency department between December 2013 and December 2015. Each 100 cases were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group according to odd even packet. Primary family caregivers in the intervention group were implemented the additional behavioral intervention by professional wound experts on the basis of the conventional education, while the control group only with conventional education. Primary caregivers′behavior score in the intervention group were compared in 1 month and 2 months. And the differences of recovery rate and incidence of pressure ulcers were compared between intervention group and control group. Results The recovery rate of pressure ulcers in intervention group was 59% (59/100) ,which was significantly higher than 32% (32/100) of the control group (χ2=14.690, P=0.000), and the incidence of pressure ulcers rate was 24% (24/100) in intervention group which was significantly lower than 39%(39/100) in the control group (χ2=5.214,P=0.022). Primary caregivers′behavior scores in the intervention group were (48.27±6.12) points after 1 month and (46.18± 4.44) points after 2 months, while those in the control group were (44.15 ± 4.33) points and (43.33 ± 5.67) points, respectively, and the difference of behavior scores in different time-points were statistically significant (F=18.93, P < 0.01). Moreover, the difference of behavior scores was also statistically significant between intervention group and control group (F=5.512, P < 0.05). Conclusions Wound experts′ intervention on home primary caregivers can effectively help improve caregivers′ behavior, promote the healing of pressure ulcers, and reduce the occurrence of complications.

Robotic system helps surgeons in performing surgery. Currently Da Vinci system is the most popular. Da Vinci system has been used for the stomach and bowel diseases in 27 cases(18 cases of stomach and 9 cases of colon and rectum) in the Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. Accurate preoperative staging is crucial, and Da Vinci system is advantageous in lymph node dissection, preservation of nerve plexus, and complete resection of mesorectum. Adoption of gastrointestinal tract reconstruction technique should depend on the operation and experience in surgery. Though Da Vinci system has limitations and the cost is high, it is believed to be the future trend.
