Objective To investigate the symptoms and the needs of transitional care for the patients with lung cancer at the intermission of chemotherapy and provide references for the symptom management and carrying out transitional care. Methods Totally 156 patients with lung cancer were investigated by questionnaire survey. Results With the increase of chemotherapy, symptoms such as cough, sputum, dyspnea were relieved after chemotherapy(F=18.266, 20.463, 17.371, P < 0.05), but symptoms like fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sleep uncomfortable were worse than before(F=15.821, 20.116, 16.439, 13.541, 9.528, P<0.05,<0.01). Negative emotions like bitterness and sadness had no obvious change. Symptoms affected the patients′mood, the incidence and severity were higher after chemotherapy(χ2=43.162, F=11.683, P < 0.05), as for general activity and walking, the incidence and severity were higher after the first cycle chemotherapy and the second cycle(χ2=42.589, 37.689, 39.125, F=9.148, 15.325, 14.758, P < 0.05), but after 4 cycles of chemotherapy, it did not change significantly (P>0.05). 79.49%(124/156)patients did not know the content and function of transitional care, 98.72%(154/156)patients hope to get transitional care through the hospital. Conclusions Symptoms by side effects were getting worse for patients with lung cancer and influenced their daily life. Patients got to know less about transitional care, however they had a strong need for transitional care. We should
reinforce the management of symptoms and transitional care to improve their quality of life.

Purpose:
Models for predicting perforation during endoscopic resection (ER) of gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs) originating from the muscularis propria (MP) are rare. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine important parameters in endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) images to predict perforation and to build predictive models.
Methods:
Consecutive patients with gastric SMTs originating from the MP who received ER from May 1, 2013 to January 15, 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. They were classified into case and control groups based on the presence of perforation. Logistic multivariate analysis was used to identify potential variables and build predictive models (models 1 and 2: with and without information on tumor pathology, respectively).
Results:
In total, 199 EUS procedures (194 patients) were finally chosen, with 99 procedures in the case group and 100 in the control group. The ratio of the inner distance to the outer distance (I/O ratio) was significantly larger in the case group than in the control group (median ratio, 2.20 vs. 1.53; P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR], 1.036 in model 1; OR, 1.046 in model 2), the I/O ratio (OR, 2.731 in model 1; OR, 2.372 in model 2), and the pathology of the tumors (OR, 10.977 for gastrointestinal stromal tumors; OR, 15.051 for others in model 1) were risk factors for perforation. The two models to predict perforation had areas under the curve of 0.836 (model 1) and 0.755 (model 2).
Conclusion
EUS was useful in predicting perforation in ER for gastric SMTs originating from the MP. Two predictive models were developed.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the clinical treatment effectiveness of Clarithromycin combined with nasal glucocorticoids for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
METHOD:
Clarithromycin was 0.25 g a day (the first two weeks was 0.25 g twice a day) and topical Triamcinolone Acetonide Acetate nasal spray was (220 microg/d) once a day. Fifty-six patients were enrolled in our research. Twenty-six patients of CRS without nasal polyps was treated for 12 to 28 weeks (average 16.62 weeks). Thirty patients of CRS with nasal polyps was treated for 12 to 33 weeks (average 20.03 weeks) after polypectomy. The patients' symptom were evaluated through Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 20 (SNOT-20) scale. Meanwhile sinus CT were evaluated by Lund-Mackey system before and after operation.
RESULT:
The score of CT scan was significantly decreased to 2.83 +/- 1.86 (t = 11.41, P < 0.01) in the CRS with nasal polyps group and to 2.43 +/- 1.91 (t = 12.86, P < 0.01) in the CRS without nasal polyps group after treatment. Recovery rate of CRS with nasal polyps group was 43.3% and of CRS without nasal polyps group was 50.0% with CT images. The self assessments of treatment efficiency was coincident with CT image in the two groups.
CONCLUSION
The treatment with Long term use of low dosage oral macrolide Clarithromycin combined with nasal steroid on CRS was efficacy. Polypectomy ,large dose antibiotic and steroid used in intraoperative period could significant improve the treatment efficiency of CRS with nasal polyps.
