Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2011;31(1):50-54
Objective To explore the curative effects,prognostic factors,and adverse reactions of different treatment modalities of chemotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods151 NSCLC patients were randomly assigned into 3 groups to undergo concurrent chemoradiotherapy ( n = 43 ) ,sequential chemo-radiotherapy ( n = 49 ) ,or pure chemotherapy (n = 59).The clinical data were analyzed.ResultsThe short-term effective rates of the concurrent and sequential chemo-radiotherapy groups were 81.4% and 73.5% respectively with no significantly difference between them,but both significantly higher than that of the pure chemotherapy group ( 39.0% ,both P < 0.05 ).The mortality of the concurrent cherno-radiation group was 53.5% ,significantly lower than those of the sequential chemo-radiotherapy and pure chemotherapy groups (67.3% and 67.8% respectively,both P <0.05).The median survival time of the concurrent chemo-radiotherapy group was 26 months,significantly longer than those of the sequential chemo-radiotherapy and pure chemotherapy groups ( 12 and 11 months respectively,both P < 0.05).The l-year survival rates of the 3 groups were 80.2% ,47.1%,and 45.6%.The 2-year survival rates were 58.2% ,38.5% ,and 24.4% ,and the 3-year survival rates were 32.7% ,27.5% ,and 0,respectively.The white blood cell decrease rates of the grades Ⅲ~Ⅳ of the concurrent chemo-radiotherapy group were significantly higher than those of the other 2 groups (both P <0.05 ).There were no significant differences in the rates of radiation esophagitis and radiation pneumonitis between the concurrent and sequential chemo-radiotherapy groups.Age,performance status score,clinical staging,and treatment modality were the 4 influencing factors in the prognosis of NSCLC ( all P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Relatively safe with tolerable adverse reactions,concurrent chemo-radiotherapy is superior to sequential chemo-radiotherapy,particularly to pure chemotherapy,in increase of median survival time and survival rate in treatment of NSCLC.Age,PS,clinical staging and therapy method are independent indicators influencing the prognosis.
2.Research progress of islet alpha cells in the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2017;25(2):181-184
[Summary] Glucose homeostasis is precisely regulated by glucagon of pancreaticαcell and insulin ofβcell secretion.Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by insulin deficiency or insulin resistance (IR). Absolute or relative excess of glucagon secretion may play an important role in the development of diabetes.Previously more studies on the functions of islet βcells were reported,but less on islet αcells. There are a variety of factors involved in the regulation of glucagon secretion,such as nutrients,endocrine hormones and neurotransmitters. High fasting and postprandial blood glucose in patients with diabetes are associated with increased glucagon.Isletαcell dysfunction is closely related to the development of diabetes and the ability of responding to hypoglycemia.Further studies of α cell function and its role on the development of diabetes could provide insight into the treatment of diabetes.
3.Evaluation of SYNTAX score in predicting prognosis of patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Tianjin Medical Journal 2016;44(8):947-950
Objective To evaluate the long-term prognostic capacity of the SYNTAX score Ⅱ(SxScore Ⅱ) and SYNTAX score (SxScore) in patients undergoing left main percutaneous coronary intervention (LM-PCI). Methods A total of 209 patients undergoing unprotected LM-PCI in the Cardiology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of PAP of Logistic College were prospectively collected. Follow up was carried out by telephone or outpatient or rehospitalization. The clinical endpoint focused on MACCE after PCI including composite death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization and stroke. The secondary endpoint included cardiac death and stent thrombosis. The SxScore and SxScoreⅡ were retrospectively calculated according to results of coronary angiography and clinical features of patients. Patients were stratified according to tertiles of low (≤22), intermediate (23-32), and high (≥33). The clinical data were comparedbetween three groups. The predictive ability of two scoring systems to MACCE after PCI was compared by COX regression evaluation. Results In 209 patients, 12 patients were lost to follow-up (5.7%), and the median follow-up was 30.2 months, 56 cases (28.4%) were observed to suffer from MACCE. The incidence rates of MACCE were 19.0%, 28.6%and 44.4%in SxScore low, intermediate and high groups respectively. The incidence rates of MACCE were 12.8%, 23.8%and 45.5%in SxScoreⅡlow, intermediate and high groups respectively. Single factor analysis showed that SxScore, SxScoreⅡ, age, diabetes and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were the independent predictors of MACCE. Multivariate analysis showed that SxScore and SxScoreⅡwere still risk independent predictors for MACCE. Conclusion Both SxScore and SxScoreⅡare independent risk predictors for MACCE in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease undergoing PCI treatment.

OBJECTIVE To investigate existed or potential dangerous incidents in the daily work of sterilization and supply center, and establish countermeasures against them. METHODS The causes of dangerous incidents confirmed by nursing department from Jun 2006 to Oct 2007 were analyzed. RESULTS The most common dangerous incidents were nonstandard clinical self-prepared operation packs, non-fully cleared appliance and the non-turnoff of storage aperture. And the rate of the incidents was 18.6%, 10.9% and 9.2%, respectively. Direct dangerous incidents accounted for 72.3% and indirect dangerous incidents accounted for 27.7% in the total number of dangerous incidents. CONCLUSIONS The dangerous incidents can be reduced effectively by adopting relevant measures, enhancing risk surveillences and supervising the high-risk parts.
