Objective: To explore value of exercise stress test guiding aerobic exercise rehabilitation in patients with myocardial infarction.Methods: A total of 102 patients with myocardial infarction in recovery were selected.According to random number table, they were randomly and equally divided into routine rehabilitation group (received routine rehabilitation guidance) and aerobic exercise rehabilitation group (received aerobic rehabilitation exercise in guidance of exercise stress test).Amount of exercise, hemodynamic parameters and psychological state were compared between two groups.Results: After treatment, amount of exercise: compared with routine rehabilitation group, there were significant rise in amount of exercise[(6.79±0.58)METs vs.(7.42±0.69)METs], maximum heart rate[(126.27±5.26) beats/min vs.(138.18±5.81) beats/min], heart rate blood pressure product[(221.87±21.46) vs.(244.85±23.09)]and exercise duration[(10.36±1.36) min vs.(11.18±1.45) min]in aerobic rehabilitation group, P<0.05 or <0.01;hemodynamic parameters: compared with routine rehabilitation group, there were significant rise in cardiac output[(5.36±0.57) L/min vs.(5.72±0.68) L/min], cardiac index[(2.96±0.53) L min-1 m-2 vs.(3.25±0.52) L min-1 m-2], stroke volume[(73.16±8.47) ml vs.(78.12±9.14) ml]in aerobic exercise rehabilitation group, P<0.05 all;psychological state: compared with routine rehabilitation group, there were significant reductions in scores of Hamilton rating scale for anxiety[HAMA, (9.74±3.26) scores vs.(6.35±1.18) scores]and Hamilton rating scale for depression[HAMD, (14.83±4.58) scores vs.(10.56±3.27) scores]in aerobic exercise rehabilitation group, P<0.05 both.Conclusion: Exercise stress test guiding aerobic exercise rehabilitation can help to improve exercise function and hemodynamic indexes, alleviate the negative mood, then promote patients recover.

Objective: To evaluate the radiological tumor response patterns and compare the response assessments based on immunebased therapeutics Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST) and RECIST 1.1 in metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC) patients treated with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors. Materials and Methods: All mccRCC patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors at Henan Cancer Hospital, China, between January 2018 and April 2019, were retrospectively studied. A total of 30 mccRCC patients (20 males and 10 females; mean age, 55.6 years; age range, 37–79 years) were analyzed. The target lesions were quantified on consecutive CT scans during therapy using iRECIST and RECIST 1.1. The tumor growth rate was calculated before and after therapy initiation. The response patterns were analyzed, and the differences in tumor response assessments of the two criteria were compared. The intra- and inter-observer variabilities of iRECIST and RECIST 1.1 were also analyzed. Results: The objective response rate throughout therapy was 50% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 32.1–67.9) based on iRECIST and 30% (95% CI: 13.6–46.4) based on RECIST 1.1. The time-to-progression (TTP) based on iRECIST was longer than that based on RECIST 1.1 (median TTP: not reached vs. 170 days, p = 0.04). iRECIST and RECIST 1.1 were discordant in 8 cases, which were evaluated as immune-unconfirmed PD based on iRECIST and PD based on RECIST 1.1. Six patients (20%, 6/30) had pseudoprogression based on iRECIST, of which four demonstrated early pseudoprogression and two had delayed pseudoprogression.Significant differences in the tumor response assessments based on the two criteria were observed (p < 0.001). No patients demonstrated hyperprogression during the study period. Conclusion Our study confirmed that the iRECIST criteria are more capable of capturing immune-related atypical responses during immunotherapy, whereas conventional RECIST 1.1 may underestimate the benefit of PD-1 inhibitors. Pseudoprogression is not rare in mccRCC patients during PD-1 inhibitor therapy, and it may last for more than the recommended maximum of 8 weeks, indicating a limitation of the current strategy for immune response monitoring.
