Objective To compare the efficacy and prognosis of epirubicin combined with paclitaxel and epirubicin combined with docetaxel in the treatment of breast cancer.Methods Patients in the study group were treated with epirubicin and paclitaxel, while the control group was treated with epirubicin plus docetaxel.Results The two groups of breast cancer patients by the end of the treatment were valid for 5 years of follow-up, five year survival rate(86.67%)than the control group(68.89%), the study group the recurrence rate(4.44%)than in the control group(15.56%), the data had significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The epirubicin is conducive to breast cancer patients for better disease control effect and prognosis than star, paclitaxel combined with chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of Avastin (bevacizumab) combined with preoperative FOLFOX neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the prognosis of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).MethodsA total of 80 cases of patients with LARC treated with total mesorectal excision (TME) in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2016 were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, 40 cases in each group.The control group were treated with preoperative FOLFOX chemotherapy while the observation group were treated with bevacizumab injection, based on the treatment in the control group.21 days was a cycle of chemotherapy, and both groups were treated for at least 4 cycles.After 6 cycles of chemotherapy, operation was carried out, following TEM principle.The short-term and long-term prognosis, rate of R0 resection, the incidence of postoperative complications and side effects of chemotherapy were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups in the good response rate of chemotherapy, the rate of R0 resection, the incidence of postoperative complications, the 1-year and 3-year survival rates and 1-year disease-free survival rate.The incidence rates of gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression in the observation group were 52.5% and 52.5%, respectively while in the control group were 25.0% and 20.0%, respectively (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the incidence rates of grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ gastrointestinal reaction and bone marrow suppression between the observation group and the control group (5.0% and 15.0% vs 2.5% and 5.0%).The 3-year disease-free survival rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (82.5% vs 60.0%) (P<0.05).ConclusionThe application of bevacizumab combined with preoperative FOLFOX chemotherapy in the treatment of LARC can improve the 3-year disease-free survival rate, without increasing postoperative adverse reactions and serious side effects of chemotherapy.

Objective:
To assess the reliability and validity of the Urinary Tract Dilation (UTD) classification system as a new grading system for fetal hydronephrosis, and analyze the risk factors for prognosis of fetal hydronephrosis.
Methods:
The data of patients who presented with fetal hydronephrosis from January to July 2016 at Sichuan Aca-demy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital were retrospectively reviewed.The outcome of the patients who were treated with surgery or without surgical treatment was recorded if they were older than 2 years old.All renal nephrons were regraded if UTD classification system had been used for antenatal hydronephrosis assessment reliability previously.Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors for prognosis of fetal hydronephrosis.
Results:
A total of 94 patients (136 renal nephrons) were eligible for enrollment.During the observation period, 43 kidneys received surgery which had clinical indications for surgery, and the remaining 93 kidneys without surgery were stable until the end of the observation period.Ultrasound finding of fetal hydronephrosis in the second trimester were graded according to UTD grading system.Among the 51 kidneys with UTD A1, 7 kidneys (13.73%) received surgery during the observation period, and 35 kidneys (47.30%) received surgery during the observation period among 74 kidneys with UTD A2-3.In the third trimester of pregnancy, among 54 kidneys with UTD A1, 3 kidneys (5.56%) were operated during the observation period, and among 82 kidneys with UTD A2-3, 40 kidneys (48.78%) were operated during the observation period.Multivariate analysis revealed that parenchymal thickness before 32 weeks and UTD classification system during the third trimester of pregnancy were risk factors for fetal hydronephrosis which required surgical treatment after birth.
Conclusions
The UTD classification system is reliable for the evaluation of fetal hydronephrosis and is valid in predicting surgical intervention.Parenchymal thickness before 32 weeks and grading UTD A2-3 after 32 weeks is a risk factor for postnatal surgery.Analysis of fetal hydronephrosis data based on UTD grading system and standardized follow-up are helpful to control the risk of fetal hydronephrosis effectively.
