Objective To evaluate the acute side effects and efficacy of three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) combined with gemcitabine chemotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods From January 2006 to December 2007, 90 cases with advanced NSCLC were divided into two groups, treatment group of 45 patients were tre.ated with 3D-CRT and gemcitabine, control group of 45 patients were treated with gemcitabine and conventional radiotherapy. Chemotherapy consisted of intravenously gemeitabine 350 mg/m2 on day 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36. Radioactive source was used with X ray of 6 MV or 15 MV. Irradiatial target area were lung site and mediastinal node. Results The complete remission (CR)and remission rate(RR) in centrol group were 5 cases (11.1%) and 28 cases(62.2%), but in treatment group were 13 cases (28.9%) and 38 cases (84.4%), respectively. The difference of response rate in two groups was significant(P < 0.05). The rate of acute radiation-induced pneumonifis and esophagitis in control group (28.9%, 35.6%)were higher than those in treatment group (11.1%, 17.8%), there were significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions Concurrent application of gemcitabine and 3D-CRT can improve the RR for locally advanced NSCLC, and the acute toxicity are lower than those of gemcitabine and conventional radiotherapy. The clinical study is needed, but the late effect shoud be followed.

Objectives Brain atrophy plays a key role in post-stroke dementia. The current study aims to explore risk factors for brain atrophy in different regions in order to find the ultimate therapeutic strategy. Methods Consecutive stroke and/or transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients were recruited from July 2012 to June . The clinical features, neuro?imaging findings and risk factors were collected during hospitalization. Logistic regression analysis showed that, except for age, female gender (Odds ratio, OR=2.447, P=0.007) and the number of silent lacuna infarcts (OR=1.414, P=0.027) were independent risk factors for frontal lobe atrophy. Ischemic stroke history (OR=2.224, P=0.024) was the independent risk factor for parietal lobe atrophy. All of extra-/intracranial larger artery diseases (OR=2.584, P=0.015) and white mat?ter severity score (OR=1.112, P=0.007) as well as the number of silent lacuna infarcts (OR=1.158,P=0.042) were inde?pendent risk factors for medial temporal lobe atrophy. Moreover, diabetes (OR=2.109, P=0.001),atrial fibrillation (OR=1.934, P=0.015) and white matter severity score (OR=1.098, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for global brain atro? phy. Conclusion Risk factors for brain atrophy included diabetes,atrial fibrillation, silent lacuna infarcts and white mat?ter changes. We should pay more attention to those patients with above risk factors in order to slow down the progression of brain atrophy and also prevent them from dementia by early interventions.

Objetive The present study was aimed to explore the risk factors of mid-term cognitive decline in pa?tients with indexed TIA/minor stroke (NIHSS≤3) in a Chinese hospital-based cohort. Methods We recruited all consec?utive Chinese TIA/minor stroke patients from July to December in 2012 and followed them up in stroke clinics at 3 and 18 months after indexed TIA/minor stroke. The outcome was defined as significantly cognitive decline at 18 months com?pared with that at 3 months. Results A total of 209 consecutive Chinese TIA/minor stroke cases completed their fol?low-up investigation. Among them, 24 (11.5%) exhibited significantly cognitive decline. The independent risk factors of cognitive decline post TIA/minor stroke were education years (OR=0.869,P=0.021), atrial fibrillation(OR=5.950, P=0.001) and multiple silent lacunar infarcts (OR=5.179,P=0.020). Conclusion It is necessary to evaluate the cognition among TIA/minor stroke cases and a close follow-up is required for patients with atrial fibrillation and multiple silent la?cunar infarcts frequently in order to decrease the risk of cognitive decline post TIA/minor stroke.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the postoperative complications of microscopic and conventional Palomo varicocelectomy in the treatment of varicocele in army personnel.
METHODSA total of 260 army personnel with varicocele were randomized to receive microscopic varicocelectomy (group A, n=130) and conventional Palomo varicocelectomy (group B, n=130). The postoperative recurrence and complications (scrotal edema, testicular pain and testicular atrophy) were compared between the two groups.
RESULTSAfter 1 year of follow-up, the recurrence rates in groups A and B were statistically comparable (5.3% vs 3.8%, P>0.05). The incidences of testicular atrophy and scrotal edema were significantly lower in group A than in group B (0.7% vs 3.1%, P<0.05; 3.1% vs 14.6%, P<0.05), and the rate of testicular pain relief was significantly higher in group A (90.7% vs 67.7%, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONMicroscopic varicocelectomy can be a good choice in the treatment of varicocele in army personnel.

Objective:To investigate clinical efficacy of curved fenestration and drainage procedure for the treatment of nail root abscess.Methods:From June 2018 to October 2020, 72 patients with nail root abscess were included in Department of Dermatology, Henan Armed Police Corps Hospital. According to the size, location and severity of the abscess, minimally invasive curved fenestration and drainage procedure was performed under nerve block anesthesia to reduce the pressure and drain the pus. Dressing change was strengthened after surgery, and wound healing was monitored.Results:Among the 72 patients, there were 37 males and 35 females, and their ages varied from 39 to 80 years (average: 63 years) . They all received curved fenestration and drainage procedure. Fifteen days after surgery, 66 cases were cured, 6 obtained marked improvement, and the response rate was 100%. Lesions did not completely subside in 1 patient due to poor blood glucose control and small exposure area at the fenestration site, while the condition of other patients was effectively controlled. Telephone follow-up was conducted 3 months after surgery, and no obvious nail defects or deformed appearance was observed in any of the cases.Conclusion:Curved fenestration and drainage procedure is a simple approach for nail root abscess, with satisfactory efficacy.

【Objective】 To study the platelet transfusion predictive models in tumor patients and evaluate its application effect. 【Methods】 A retrospective study was conducted on 944 tumor patients, including 533 males and 411 females who received platelet transfusion in the Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Xinjiang Medical University, the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and Kailuan General Hospital from August 2022 to January 2023. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to establish the platelet transfusion predictive models, and Medcalc15.8 software was used to draw the receiver operating curve (ROC) to evaluate the application effect of the prediction model. The actual application effect of models was verified through 162 female clinical cases and 172 male clinical cases. 【Results】 The incidence of platelet transfusion refractoriness in tumor patients was 28.9% (273/944), with 33.2% (177/533) in males, significantly higher than that in females [23.4% (96/411)] (P<0.05). Platelet transfusion predictive models: Y1 (female) =-8.546+ (0.581×number of pregnancies) + (0.964×number of inpatient transfusion bags) + number of previous platelet transfusion bags (5-9 bags: 1.259, ≥20 bags: 1.959) + clinical diagnosis (lymphoma: 2.562, leukemia: 3.214); Y2 (male) =-7.600+ (1.150×inpatient transfusion bags) + previous platelet transfusion bags (10-19 bags: 1.015, ≥20 bags: 0.979) + clinical diagnosis (lymphoma: 1.81, leukemia: 3.208, liver cancer: 1.714). Application effect evaluation: The AUC (area under the curve), cut-off point, corresponding sensitivity and specificity of female and male platelet transfusion effect prediction models were 0.868, -0.354, 68.75%, 89.84% and 0.854, -0.942, 81.36%, 77.53%, respectively. Actual application results showed that the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of female and male model were 89.47%, 92.74%, 91.98% and 83.72%, 91.47%, 89.53%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 There is high incidence of platelet transfusion refractoriness in tumor patients, and the predictive model has good prediction effect on platelet transfusion refractoriness in tumor patients, which can provide reliable basis for accurate platelet transfusion in tumor patients.
