Objective:To compare the short-term clinical efficacy, adverse reactions and pharmacoeconomics of advanced mutation negative lung adenocarcinoma treated by albumin-bound paclitaxel or pemetrexed combined with cisplatin.Methods:From September 2019 to October 2020, 80 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College were divided into observation group and the control group according to the randomized digital table, with 40 cases in each group. The observation group received albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with cisplatin, and the control group received pemetrexed combined with cisplatin. After 2 cycles of treatment, the short-term efficacy and the adverse reactions of the two groups were evaluated. The cost of chemotherapy drugs and the average length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups.Results:The objective response rates of the observation group and the control group were 30.0% (12/40) and 32.5% (13/40), the disease control rates were 77.5% (31/40) and 82.5% (33/40) respectively, and there were no significant differences ( χ2=0.058, P=0.809; χ2=0.313, P=0.576). The adverse reactions of the two groups were mainly grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ. The incidences of leucopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hemoglobin decreased, gastrointestinal reaction, liver function damage and renal function damage in the observation group were 20.0% (8/40), 20.0% (8/40), 20.0% (8/40), 17.5% (7/40), 37.5% (15/40), 12.5% (5/40) and 7.5% (3/40) respectively, those in the control group were 25.0% (10/40), 20.0% (8/40), 17.5% (7/40), 15.0% (6/40), 32.5% (13/40), 17.5% (7/40) and 5.0% (2/40) respectively, and there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups ( χ2=0.287, P=0.592; χ2<0.001, P>0.999; χ2=0.082, P=0.775; χ2=0.092, P=0.762; χ2=0.220, P=0.639; χ2=0.392, P=0.531; χ2<0.001, P>0.999). The median cost of chemotherapy drugs and the median length of hospital stay in the observation group were 7 453 yuan and 6 days respectively, which were less than 8 956 yuan and 7 days in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( Z=-3.057, P=0.002; Z=-2.733, P=0.006). Conclusion:The short-term efficacy of albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with cisplatin is equal to pemetrexed combined with cisplatin in treatment of advanced mutation negative lung adenocarcinoma, and the adverse reactions are similar. However, the average cost of chemotherapy drugs of albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with cisplatin is less than pemetrexed combined with cisplatin, and the average length of hospital stay is shorter.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of lung adenocarcinoma patients with positive EGFR mutations detected in pleural effusion.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics including gender,age,smoking history,presence of other underlying diseases(such as COPD,cardiovascular disease,and diabetes),site of pleural fluid,feature of pleural fluid,and TNM stage in patients with lung adenocar-cinoma who had been admitted to the first Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from 2020.01 to 2022.12 for the first time by the detection of EGFR mutation positive in pleural effusion.The data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 software.Results A total of 126 patients were screened for enrollment,including 61 patients(48.41%)with EGFR exon 19 deletion mutation(19del),56 patients(44.44%)with exon 21 L858R mutation(21L858R),and 9 patients(7.14%)with non-classical mutations.Univariate analysis showed that the three muta-tion subtypes were statistically significant in terms of gender,age,smoking history,and presence of COPD(P<0.05 for all comparisons),but not in terms of pleural fluid site,feature of pleural fluid,tumor size,and presence of cardiovascular disease,diabetes mellitus,presence of distant metastases,and mediastinal lymph node metastases(P>0.05 for all comparisons);Multivariate analysis showed that 21 L858R mutation was more likely to be found in male,older age,non-smoking,and presence of COPD than 19del mutation;non-classical mutation was more likely to be found in male than 19del mutation.Conclusions There are significant differences among the three mutation subtypes in sex,age,smoking history,and presence of COPD,but not in pleural fluid location,feature of pleural fluid,tumor size,presence of cardiovascular disease or diabetes mellitus,presence of distant metastases,or medias-tinal lymph node metastases;Among lung adenocarcinoma patients with positive EGFR mutations in pleural fluid,21 L858R mutation mostly occurs in male,older age,non-smokers,and those complicated with COPD,while non-classical mutation mainly develops in male.However,more case studies are needed to confirm the above conclusions.
