Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy in elderly patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms.Methods A total of 64 elderly patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms were selected.The clinical data of patients treated with chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus bevacizumab were analyzed.Patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group (n=32,each).The observation group was treated with bevacizumab (7.5 mg/kg) in combination with XELOX (OXA+Xeloda),and the control group was treated with XELOX only (21 weeks as a cycle).The clinical efficacy and toxicity of bevacizumab were evaluated according to WHO short-term efficacy standards and standards of anticancer drugs in acute or subacute adverse reactions.Results In observation group,complete remission was found in 4 cases,partial response in 18 cases,stable disease in 6 cases,progressive disease in 4 cases,and the total efficiency was 68.8%.In control group,partial response was found in 14 cases,stable disease in 11 cases,progressive disease in 7 cases,and the total efficiency was 43.8%.The incidences of leucopenia,hemoglobin desaturation and gastrointestinal reactions were lower and the incidence of thrombocytopenia was higher in observation group than in control group,which had no significant differences between the 2 groups.Phase Ⅳ toxicity was not found in observation group.Conclusions Bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy is safe and effective for elderly patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms.Most patients can tolerate the side effects.It is worth promoting in clinical medicine.

Objective This study aims to analyze the factors influencing benefit finding among cervical cancer patients and their spouses,as well as the interconnections between these factors.The goal is to provide a foundation for developing targeted clinical interventions.Methods Using the convenience sampling method,cervical cancer patients and spouses of 245 pairs who attended or were hospitalized in a tertiary-level hospital in Taiyuan City from October 2022 to July 2023 were selected as study subjects.Data were collected using a general information questionnaire,the Distress Disclosure Index,the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale,and the Benefit Finding Scale.Univariate analysis,Pearson correlation analysis,and multiple linear regression were employed to scrutinize the data,leading to the establishment of Actor-Partner Interdependence Model.Results Benefit finding scores for cervical cancer patients and their spouses were(65.31±7.94)and(69.87±9.63),respectively.Multiple linear regression revealed that the educational level of patients and their spouses,whether or not they received chemotherapy or radiotherapy,self-disclosure and psychological resilience were the factors that affected patients'benefit finding.Spouse's education level,occupation,self-disclosure,psychological resilience and patients'self-disclosure and psychological resilience were the influencing factors of spouse's benefit finding.The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model analysis indicated that the self-disclosure and psychological resilience of cervical cancer patients positively predicted their own benefit finding and that of their spouses(path coefficients were 0.415,0.501,0.216,and 0.168,respectively,all P<0.05).However,spouses'self-disclosure and psychological resilience could only positively predict their own benefit finding(path coefficients were 0.188 and 0.254,respectively,all P<0.05).Conclusion Benefit finding among cervical cancer patients and their spouses is moderate and influenced by various factors.Both self-disclosure and psychological resilience of cervical cancer patients and their spouses have positive subjective effects on their own benefit finding.Healthcare professionals should encourage both parties to engage in healthy interactions about the disease,take steps to increase the level of psychological resilience of both,and ultimately tap into a higher level of benefit finding.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence for the management of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in total hysterectomy patients, so as to provide evidence-based basis for clinical practice.Methods:According to the "6S" pyramid model, literature related to the management of LUTD in total hysterectomy patients was successively searched from guide websites, evidence-based websites, professional websites and comprehensive databases. The search deadline was from the establishment of the databases to March 31, 2023. Two researchers evaluated the quality of the included literature, extracted evidence and recommended the level of evidence.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, including one clinical decision, two evidence summaries, three guidelines, one expert consensus and seven systematic evaluations. A total of 25 pieces of evidence were summarized from four aspects, such as symptom assessment, urinary tract management, symptom intervention and health education.Conclusions:Medical staff should manage lower urinary tract dysfunction in patients undergoing total hysterectomy based on evidence-based evidence to prevent or reduce the occurrence of lower urinary tract dysfunction in patients.
