Objective To explore the effect of intra-and post-operative administration of supplemental high concentration oxygen on abdominal clean-contaminated surgical wound infection.Methods From January 2001 to June 2005, 425 patients undergoing abdominal clean-contaminated operation were randomly divided into receive FiO2 60 % (n=213, study group) or FiO2 28 % (n=212, control group) inspired oxygen during the operation and two hours postoperatively. The partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood and the peripheral arterial oxygen saturation was were measured two hours after operation. During 15 postoperative days, the wounds that drained pus were considered infected.Results The results showed that the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (P

Background and objective The proportion of patients carrying driver gene mutations is notably high among individuals with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)in China.However,the current neoadjuvant treatment strategies for these patients lack evident benefits.This study aims to investigate the efficacy and adverse reactions of neoadjuvant immu-nochemotherapy in patients with driver gene-positive NSCLC,thereby exploring its potential therapeutic value.Methods A total of 50 patients from two centers were retrospectively collected to compare the efficacy and adverse reactions among driver gene-positive NSCLC patients after different treatments and further explore the response to neoadjuvant immunochemo-therapy among different EGFR-sensitive subtypes.Results A total of 50 patients from two centers were included in this study.Among the 40 patients from Peking University People's Hospital(PKUPH),21 received neoadjuvant immunotherapy,with 57.1％ showing partial response on imaging.The major pathological response(MPR)rate after neoadjuvant immunochemo-therapy was 38.1％ ,and pathological complete response(pCR)was only observed in this group.No significant differences were noted in adverse events or their impact on surgical difficulty among different treatments.Additionally,10 patients from Hunan Cancer Hospital(HNCA)were included to analyze the differences in efficiency among EGFR-sensitive subtypes under various neoadjuvant strategies.No significant radiological response differences were observed between neoadjuvant immunotherapy and targeted therapy.However,patients with the L858R mutation exhibited MPR and pCR only after receiving immuno-therapy,surpassing targeted therapy outcomes,while no significant differences were found among 19del patients.Conclusion Under the premise of not exacerbating adverse effects,neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy achieved superior rates of MPR and pCR,with long-term survival comparable to targeted therapy.

PURPOSE: Rituximab with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone administered every 3 weeks (R-CHOP-21) is the standard care for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It is unknown whether the dose-dense R-CHOP (R-CHOP-14) could improve the outcome of the disease in Asian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Newly diagnosed DLBCL patients were centrally, randomly assigned (1:1) to receive R-CHOP-14 or R-CHOP-21. R-CHOP-14 was administered every 2 weeks, and R-CHOP-21 was administered every 3 weeks. Primary end point was disease-free survival (DFS). Secondary end points included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), response rate and toxicities. RESULTS: Seven hundred and two patients were randomly assigned to receive R-CHOP-14 (n=349) or R-CHOP-21 (n=353). With a median follow-up of 45.6 months, the two groups did not differ significantly in 3-year DFS (79.6% for R-CHOP-14 vs. 83.2% for R-CHOP-21, p=0.311), 3-year OS (77.5% for R-CHOP-14 vs. 77.6% for R-CHOP-21, p=0.903), or 3-year PFS (63.2% for R-CHOP-14 vs. 66.1% for R-CHOP-21, p=0.447). Patients with an International Prognostic Index (IPI) score ≥ 2 had a poorer prognosis compared to those with an IPI score < 2. Grade 3/4 hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities were manageable and similar between R-CHOP-14 and R-CHOP-21. CONCLUSION: R-CHOP-14 did not improve the outcome of DLBCL compared to R-CHOP-21 in Asian population. With manageable and similar toxicities, both of the two regimens were suitable for Asian DLBCL patients. For high-risk patients with IPI ≥ 2, new combination regimens based on R-CHOP deserve further investigation to improve efficacy.
