Advanced gastric cancer without distant metastasis remains a potentially curable disease, but the prognosis is poor in this condition because of the high unresectability rate at presentation and the high recurrence rate after radical surgery. Administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy has several potential benefits for advanced gastric cancer. This treatment can decrease tumor stage and improve R0 resection rate. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has higher patient tolerability and a higher rate of chemotherapy completion than adjuvant chemotherapy. In vivo drug sensitivity tests can also be conducted to avoid unnecessary surgeries. Although high-intensi-ty chemotherapy results in a high overall response rate, a few advanced gastric patients can achieve a pathologically complete re-sponse. However, no standardized treatment has been achieved. This article introduces five cases of advanced gastric cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. The five cases achieved a pathological complete response. This article also aims to explore the clinicopathological characteristics of these patients, proper cooperative treat-ment practices, and prognostic factors for the benefit of future patients.

Objective:To use whole brain vessel wall imaging combined with whole brain perfusion to explore the relevant high-risk features of imaging that caused the occurrence of ischemic stroke events.Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 60 patients with suspected atherosclerosis of middle cerebral artery(MCA)who admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University from Oct.2021 to Mar.2023.All patients underwent the examination of high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging(HRMR-VWI).According to the high signal values of diffusion weighted imaging(DWI),or the specifically clinical symptoms that were relevant with MCA blood-supplied area in clinical practice,they were divided into symptom group(36 cases)and non-symptom group(24 cases).The differences of the imaging characteristics of plaque,the status of collateral circulation and hemodynamic changes between the two groups were compared.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to appear the diagnostic efficiencies of the single factor model and the combined diagnostic model.Result:Compared with the non-symptom group,the patients of the symptom group had longer plaques,larger remodeling index,higher degree of plaque enhancement,more plaques located on the upper or posterior wall,more eccentric plaques,poorer status of collateral circulation,larger relative mean transit time(rMTT),larger relative time to peak(rTTP),and larger relative time to peak of residual function(rTmax).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve(AUC)values of the above four indicators were all lower than that of the combined diagnostic models of them(0.911).Conclusion:HRMR-VWI combined with compute tomography perfusion(CTP)can clarify the value of that in predicting ischemic events,and optimize the assessment system based on risk factors such as MCA atherosclerotic plaque,collateral status of leptomeningeal and cerebral perfusion status.

Objective:To investigate the association between preterm birth, low birth weight and the risk of hypospadias.Methods:According to the search strategy of Cochrance Collaborative Network, the China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), VIP, Wanfang, Pubmed, Cochrance and Embase were searched from the establishment of the database to April 2022. The literature on the relationship between preterm birth, low birth weight and the risk of hypospadias was included. Meta analysis was conducted on the relationship between preterm birth, low birth weight and the risk of hypospadias.Results:A total of 13 articles were included, including cases from Asia, Europe, Australia and America. Newcastle-ottawa Scale was used for evaluation, and the scores were all above 6. There were 10 articles on the relationship between preterm birth and the risk of hypospadias, all of which were case-control studies. Heterogeneity test I2=46%, P=0.05. There were 3 521 cases in the case group and 95 816 cases in the control group. Compared with the control group, preterm birth was a risk factor for hypospadias ( OR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.89-2.41), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=12.21, P<0.01). There were 11 articles on the association between low birth weight and the risk of hypospadias, all of which were case-control studies. Heterogeneity test I2=47%, P=0.04. There were 2 460 cases in the case group and 94 260 cases in the control group. Compared with the control group, low birth weight was a risk factor for hypospadias ( OR: 3.29, 95% CI: 2.57-4.22), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=9.40, P<0.01). Conclusions:Based on meta-analysis of published literature, preterm birth and low birth weight increase the risk of hypospadias.

The authors introduced a pharmaceutical care mode by establishing a medication management platform(" Smart Pharmacists" platform), automatically and regularly sending personalized medication reminders for out-of-hospital patients. In virtue of the medication consultation service built on mobile internet technology, the hospital information system was seamlessly connected with the WeChat public account of the hospital, hence broadening pharmaceutical care. The " Smart Pharmacists" platform covered such six parts as medication reminder, medication record, voice broadcast, medication consultation, prescription query, and package insert inquiry. It serves as a reminder of taking medicine for patients out of the hospital and provides an accessible " pharmacist-patient interaction" service window, which will guarantee the safety and effectiveness of medication for out-of-hospital patients.

Objective To compare the outcomes between interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS)patients treated with three-drug combination (M blockers + alpha blockers + Amitriptyline) and Sodium hyaluronate intravesical instillation.Methods The patients who came to Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University during October 2014 to September 2015 were investigated if they had IC/BPS.According to the treatment plan,27 patients (group A) received three-drug combination (M blocker + alpha blockers + Amitriptyline)therapy.Thirty-eight patients recelved instillation of sodium hyaluronate (40 mg/50 ml) therapy (group B).Intravesical instillations were performed weekly in the first 6 weeks,and monthly until sixth month.Interstitial cystitis symptom index,interstitial cystitis problem index,overactive bladder symptom score,visual analogue scale/score,the maximum urination and self-rating depression scale were assessed at baseline and the sixth month.Measurement data were expressed as ((x) ±s),t test was used for comparison between groups,and paired t-test was used for comparison of paired data.Results There were 65 patients.Age range was 25-73 years,course of disease (2-99 months),average age (51.4 ± 13.5),average duration (39.8 ± 31.0) months,of which 9 male (13.8％) and 56 female (86.2％) patients.The group A variation of ICSI、ICPI、OABSS、VAS、SDS and maximum urination were 3.7 ± 2.4、1.3 ± 1.5、1.2 ± 1.3、2.1 ± 1.5、3.1 ± 4.5、74.6 ± 52.4,The variation of group B ware 6.8 ± 3.6、5.0 ± 3.8、2.5 ± 1.8、2.8 ± 1.7、8.9 ± 6.4、109.0 ± 81.1.The improvement in ICSI,ICPI,OABSS,SDS of group B were higher than group A (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion IC/BPS seriously affect the quality of life and the patients are prone to depression.The sodium hyaluronate intravesical instillation therapy could achieve more effect than the three-drug combination therapy.

Objective:To study the effect of related laboratory indexes such as glycosylated hemoglobin on the occurrence of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to construct a nomogram model.Methods:The clinical data of 203 patients with 2 diabetes mellitus from May 2020 to April 2022 in Quzhou Hospital, Zhejiang Medical and Health Group were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 64 patients had no diabetic complications (control group), and 139 patients had diabetic complications (complication group). The clinical data of the two groups were recorded, and the related influencing factors of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes were analyzed; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predicting value of significant indexes for the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes; multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes; R language software 4.0 "rms" package was used to construct the nomogram model for predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes, the calibration curve was internally validated, and the decision curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the nomogram model.Results:The hypertension rate, hyperlipemia rate, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in complication group were significantly higher in those in control group: 44.60% (62/139) vs. 20.31% (13/64), 48.92% (68/139) vs. 25.00% (16/64), (5.42 ± 0.68) years vs. (4.84 ± 0.51) years, (12.60 ± 2.80) mmol/L vs. (10.20 ± 1.90) mmol/L, (16.50 ± 3.10) mmol/L vs. (12.50 ± 2.90) mmol/L and (9.62 ± 1.33)% vs. (7.96 ± 0.85)%, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in gender composition, age, body mass index, smoking rate, drinking rate, albumin and creatinine between the two groups ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under the curve of the course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin for predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes were 0.725, 0.752, 0.830 and 0.861, respectively; the optimal cut-off values were 5 year, 11.8 mmol/L, 15.1 mmol/L and 9.23%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were independent risk factors of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes ( OR = 1.563, 1.692, 1.451, 1.703, 1.506 and 1.805; 95% CI 1.268 to 1.689, 1.483 to 1.824, 1.215 to 1.620, 1.402 to 1.903, 1.303 to 1.801 and 1.697 to 1.926; P<0.05). The hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were used as predictors to construct a nomogram model for predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. Internal validation result showed that the nomogram model predicted the complications with good concordance in patients with type 2 diabetes (C-index = 0.815, 95% CI 0.796 to 0.843); the nomogram model predicted the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes at a threshold >0.18, provided a net clinical benefit, and all had higher clinical net benefits than hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. Conclusions:The nomogram model constructed based on hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin has better clinical value in predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.
