Results:At T 2 and T 3,P peak in the Group P was (22.5 ±5.2) cmH 2O and (16.2 ± 2.8) cmH 2O respectively,which was significantly lower than that in the Group V [(25.8 ± 3.5) cmH 2O,(18.2 ± 3.2) cmH 2O, q = 3.672,3.454, P = 0.031,0.045).At T 1,T 2 and T 3,C dyn in the Group P was (26.4 ± 5.0) mL/cmH 2O,(24.1 ± 4.5) mL/cmH 2O and (32.5 ± 4.2) mL/cmH 2O,respectively,which was significantly higher than that in the Group V [(23.0 ± 2.7) mL/cmH 2O,(19.9 ± 2.1) mL/cmH 2O,(28.5 ± 3.7) mL/cmH 2O, q = 3.732,4.795,4.118, P = 0.027,0.004,0.013).At T 2 and T 3,P peak in the Group G was (21.7 ± 4.3) cmH 2O,(15.6 ± 2.6) cmH 2O,respectively,which was significantly lower than that in the Group V [(25.8 ± 3.5) cmH 2O,(18.2 ± 3.2) cmH 2O, q = 4.493,4.332, P = 0.006,0.009]. At T 1,T 2,and T 3,C ydn in the Group G was (26.6 ± 5.6) mL/cmH 2O,(24.3 ± 5.6) mL/cmH 2O,(33.2 ± 6.3) mL/cmH 2O,which was higher than that in the Group V [(23.0 ± 2.7) mL/cmH 2O,(19.9 ± 2.1) mL/cmH 2O,(28.5 ± 3.7) mL/cmH 2O, q = 3.852,4.936,4.791, P = 0.022,0.002,0.003]. At T 2 and T 3,PaCO 2 in the Group G was (41.1 ± 3.8) mmHg,(38.4 ± 3.4) mmHg,respectively,which was significantly lower than that in the group V [(45.7 ± 3.4) mmHg,(41.0 ± 3.0) mmHg, q = 5.969,3.682, P = 0.000,0.030].At T 2,OI in the group G was significantly higher than that in the group V [(358.0 ± 32.8) mmHg vs.(326.6 ± 29.7) mmHg, q = 4.782, P = 0.030].There were no significant differences in indexes between groups P and G (all P>0.05). Conclusion:During EBUS-TBNA for>60 min,PCV combined with VG can not only reduce airway pressure and improve lung compliance,but also prevent respiratory acidosis and improve oxygenation.

Objective:To investigate the nutritional status of elderly inpatients in China, and to assess its relationship with clinical outcomes.Methods:A prospective, multicenter, parallel investigation was organized and conducted by the Chinese Medical Association's Group of Geriatric Nutrition Support.Patients aged ≥65 years from 30 major hospitals of 14 cities in China were evaluated by the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS2002)and the Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form(MNA-SF), in order to understand the nutritional status and nutritional risk of elderly inpatients in China.The indicators of clinical outcomes were summarized, and the correlation between nutritional status and clinical outcomes was analyzed.Results:A total of 10 184 elderly patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study, aged 65-112(74.81±7.01)years, with a body mass index(BMI)of 17.80-35.50(23.32±3.83)kg/m 2.Grip strength of the dominant hand was(16.95±18.42)kg, upper arm circumference was(25.68±3.70)cm, and calf circumference was(32.07±3.89)cm.BMI, grip strength, upper arm circumference and calf circumference decreased significantly with age( F=13.74, 97.47, 28.31 and 88.68, all P<0.001). NRS2002 was conducted on 10 182 patients.Of them, 10.14%(895/10 182)suffered malnutrition(BMI≤18.5 kg/m 2), and 46.42%(4 726/10 182)were at nutritional risk(NRS2002 score≥3). Nutrition deficiency and nutritional risk showed upward trends with age( F=43.41 and 177.05, both P<0.001). A total of 9 755 patients(95.79%, 9 755/10 182)completed the MNA-SF.Of them, 14.67%(1 431/9 755)had malnutrition, 35.04%(3 418/9 755)were at risk of malnutrition, and 50.29%(4 906/9 755)had normal nutritional status.The incidence of malnutrition and the risk of malnutrition significantly increased with age( F=172.79, 12.10 and 152.42, all P<0.05). Nutritional risk(NRS2002 score≥3)was related to age, BMI, mortality, infectious complications, length of hospital stay and total hospital cost(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of malnutrition and the risk of malnutrition are high in elderly inpatients in China.Nutritional risk is an influencing factor for adverse clinical outcomes.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficacy of surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and the prognostic factors affecting the results of treatment in hypopharyngeal carcinoma.

METHODSA retrospective review of 149 patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma that received surgical treatment from Jun 2003 to Jun 2010 was accomplished. In the 149 patients, the site of origin were pyriform sinus (n = 121), posterior pharyngeal wall (n = 21) and postcricoid (n = 7). According to UICC 2002 criteria, there were 3 in stage I, 15 in stage II, 29 in stage III and 102 in stage IV. Surgical methods for primary tumor were: pyriform sinus resection or posterior pharyngeal wall resection in 22 cases, partial pharyngectomy and partial laryngectomy in 29 cases, partial pharyngectomy and total laryngectomy in 67 cases, total pharyngectomy and total laryngectomy in 16 cases, total pharyngolaryngectomy and partial esophagus resection in 12 cases, and total esophagus resection in 3 cases. All the patients received elective and/or radical neck dissection. Unilateral or bilateral thyroid lobectomy was performed in 98 cases. Eighty-seven patients received intensity modulation radiated therapy (IMRT) postoperatively in the cancer center of Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University. Individualized adjustment of the radiation field was made according to the surgical condition. Forty-nine cases received radiotherapy in other hospitals (dose 50-70 Gy). Laryngeal function was restored in 51 patients (34.2%). The risk clinicopathological factors of survival and the causes of death were analyzed.

RESULTSThe survival rate was calculated with Kaplan-Meier method. The overall 3- and 5- year survival rates were 47.7% and 38.7%, respectively. There were no significant differences in 3-year survival between T1-2 and T3-4 groups, N0 and N+ groups, stage I-II and III-IV groups, laryngeal function preserved and unpreserved groups. The overall 3 years survival rate of patients received surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy was higher than those just received surgery alone (χ² = 6.851, P < 0.05). The 3-year survival rate in patients treated in comprehensive treatment group has showed a good trend, although still no statistical significance (χ² = 0.176, P > 0.05). The cause of death in 86 patients, including regional lymph nodes recurrence in 25 cases (29.1%). Of them, one was stoma recurrence and 9 were retropharyngeal lymph nodes metastasis; distant metastasis in 19 cases (22.1%); local recurrence in 13 cases, local or regional recurrence with distant metastasis in 8 cases (9.3%), and second primary cancer in 6 cases (7.0%).

CONCLUSIONSThe overall prognosis of hypopharyngeal carcinoma was poor and dismal. In accordance with specific conditions of surgery, active adjustment of the personalized protocol of IMRT was the key of improving the efficacy of hypopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective To measure the actual absorbed dose of the target in the QUASAR Respiratory Motion Phantom using the CyberKnife Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System, and to evaluate the effect of density heterogeneity on the absorbed dose of tumor gross target volume ( GTV ) . Methods Nine groups were obtained by making different patterns of QUASAR phantom:rib thickness of 0, 20, and 50 mm, and motion amplitudes of 0, 10, and 15 mm. The nine groups were treated with static computed tomography (CT) in different time phases of four-dimensional CT (4DCT) plan, with the same beam and number of monitor units, and the 4D accumulated dose was calculated. The doses of static and 4D plans were calculated using Ray-tracing and Monte Carlo algorithms, and the absorbed doses of GTV in the nine groups were measured at the same time. Results There were a decrease in calculated absorbed dose of GTV and an increase in deviation between the planned and actual dose, with the increases in simulated rib thickness and motion amplitude. Conclusions The density heterogeneity has an impact on the absorbed dose of GTV. Both static CT and 4DCT plan can evaluate the absorbed dose of GTV in case of small rib thickness and motion amplitude, and 4DCT plan with Monte Carlo algorithm may be the optimal method for evaluation of the absorbed dose of GTV in case of large rib thickness and motion amplitude ( deviation<3%)
