Objective:To examine metastatic gastric cancer patients who underwent surgery after chemotherapy and to determine the factors affecting survival. Methods:Clinical data on metastatic gastric cancer patients who underwent surgery after chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival data were evaluated through the Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank test, and Cox haz-ards regression. Results:The median age was 46 (22~74), and the median overall survival rate (OS) was 19 months (4~59 months). Response to chemotherapy (23.0 m for PR and 14.5 m for SD, P=0.045) and resection of the primary tumor (23.0 and 5.5 m, respective-ly, P=0.017) affected OS. No single factor was related to OS according to Cox regression. Conclusion:Surgical removal of the primary tumor is recommended for metastatic gastric cancer patients with positive response to chemotherapy and with a primary tumor that can be resected.

Related substances in pharmaceutical formulations are associated with their safety, efficacy and stability. However, there is no overall study already published on the assessment of related substances in the Compound Ketoconazole and Clobetasol Propionate Cream. In this work, a reliable HPLC-TOF-MS qua-litative method was developed for the analysis of related substances in this preparation with a quick and easy extraction procedure. Besides the active pharmaceutical ingredients, two compounds named ke-toconazole impurity B′ optical isomer and ketoconazole impurity E were identified. Furthermore, a new HPLC method for qualitative and quantitative assessment on related substances and degradation pro-ducts, which were found in the stability test, was established and validated. The single standard to determine multi-components method was applied in the quantitative analysis, which was an effective way for reducing cost and improving accuracy. This study can provide a creative idea for routine analysis of quality control of the Compound Ketoconazole and Clobetasol Propionate Cream.
7.Analysis of the application of orthopedic robot assisted technology in bone tumor surgery
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2023;43(5):337-342
Intellectualization and precision are important directions of development and research highlights of orthopaedic surgery at present. The orthopaedic robot-assisted technology is gradually applied to various orthopaedic specialties. However the application of robot-assisted technology in bone tumor surgery started relatively late and the scenarios suitable for clinical application are relatively limited. By searching PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, CNKI and Wanfang database about the application of orthopaedic robot-assisted technology in the field of bone tumor surgery, we analyzed its intelligence and precision requirements, sorted and analyzed the current clinical application of orthopaedic robot in bone tumor surgery. The robot-assisted puncture biopsy of bone tumor could improve the accuracy and positive rate, especially for tumors with small size, deep location and complex local anatomical structure. For robot-assisted precise osteotomy for bone tumors, the accuracy and error analysis of manual osteotomy and robot-assisted osteotomy in the literatures were compared. The robot-assisted technology has the potential to improve the accuracy of tumor resection at complex anatomical structures such as sacrum and pelvic tumors. For the application of robot-assisted technology in spinal tumor surgery, literature reports suggested that it can improve the accuracy of pedicle screw placement and the safety of minimally invasive vertebroplasty, and can be used for minimally invasive precise surgical resection of spinal tumors. At the same time, the existing problems and development directions were analyzed, such as cost-effectiveness, accuracy of registration, soft tissue recognition and feedback, error superposition and error correction, so as to provide reference basis for further clinical application and study.
8.Progress on the regulation of gastrointestinal motility by gut microbiota and their metabolites
International Journal of Pediatrics 2024;51(8):508-512
There are the largest and most complex microbial groups in the human gastrointestinal tract,which constantly adapt to the host environment and provide multiple key functions for the host.Currently,many diseases are closely related to gastrointestinal motility disorders,including diarrhea,constipation,irritable bowel syndrome and so on.Increasing evidence indicates that the gut microbiota and their metabolites are able to influence gastrointestinal motility,which subsequently influences the development of diseases,and the relationship between them has become a research topic.This article reviews the mechanisms of gut microbiota and their metabolites as well as the mechanisms of probiotics in regulating gastrointestinal motility,in an attempt to provide valuable clues for developing therapies that rely on gut microbiota to improve gastrointestinal motility.

Objective: To elucidate the biological behavior of malignant transformation (MT) of fibrous dysplasia (FD) and investigate its risk factors for diagnostic identification. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 394 FD cases from March 2006 to March 2017 in Beijing Ji Shui Tan Hospital was performed. Seven cases had been histopathologically confirmed as malignant (study group). According to age, location, and other epidemiological data, we performed a 1:2 case-matched comparison between the patients with malignant FD and 14 patients with benign disease (control group). Clinical features, visual analog scale (VAS) score, tumor volume, imaging characteris-tics, alkaline phosphatase (AKP) levels, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, oncologic results, and function data were analyzed. Re-sults: The 7 MT cases included 3 males and 4 females. Mean follow-up time was 175 (3-396) months, and mean and median follow-up time were 25 (3-51) months after MT. Mean and median age were 45.6 and 47 (24-60) years, respectively. Among the 7 cases, 6 in-volved the femur and 1 involved the tibia. Two cases involved a single lesion whereas the remaining 5 involved multiple lesions. There were 5 recurrent cases and 2 initial cases. The mean MT period from initial surgery were 207 (37-377) months. VAS scores in the study group were significantly higher than that in the control group (Z=-3.317, P=0.001); the VAS scores decreased significantly after opera-tion (Z=-2.384, P=0.017). Preoperative AKP levels were different between the study and control group; the levels were significantly higher in the former group than in the latter (Z=2.314, P=0.021). However, postoperative AKP levels were similar in both groups (Z=0.821, P=0.821). LDH levels were not significantly different between the two groups, either preoperatively (Z=1.269, P=0.205) or post-operatively (Z=0.075, P=0.940). As for the study group, AKP levels decreased significantly after surgery (Z=-2.366, P=0.018); LDH levels were also lower after surgery than before (Z=-2.028, P=0.043). CT enhancement values were higher in the study group than in the con-trol group (Z=-3.659, P<0.001). Univariate analysis indicated that preoperative VAS score, AKP level, cortical damage, presence of soft tissue mass, and CT enhancement value were clinical risk factors for determination of MT of FD. Histopathological analysis revealed 4 cases of osteosarcoma, 2 of low-grade spindle cell sarcoma, and 1 of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Three patients had re-ceived adjuvant chemotherapy, 2 cases involved pulmonary metastasis, and 1 patient had died. The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Soci-ety (MSTS) scores for the study and control groups were (95.0±3.9)% and (86.0±10.9)%, respectively (F=5.689, P=0.029). Conclusions:Malignant transformation of fibrous dysplasia is rare. The preoperative VAS score, AKP level, cortical damage, presence of soft tissue mass, and CT enhancement value may be helpful for clinical screening of malignant transformation. An adequate surgical margin is re-quired for treatment of this lesion.

Objective:To study the efficacy of different systemic chemotherapy regimens as first-line and second-line therapy and to determine the prognostic factors for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer.Methods:The clinical data of patients with advanced biliary tract cancer who underwent systemic chemotherapy in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2011 to December 2018 were studied. The efficacy of chemotherapy on objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were evaluated. Potential prognostic factors for survival were studied using the Cox proportional hazards models.Results:Of 151 patients enrolled into this study, there were 75 males and 76 females, with ages ranging from 31 to 77 years (median 58 years). Two treatment protocols were used: (1) 104 patients received a gemcitabine-based regimen (combined with platinums or fluorouracils) or a combination of platinums and fluorouracils, while (2) 47 patients received a combination of albumin-bound paclitaxel and S-1. The corresponding ORR for each group were 15.4%(16/104) and 27.6%(13/47), respectively, and the DCR were 65.4%(68/104) and 72.3%(34/47), respectively. Of 58 evaluable patients who received chemotherapy as a second-line therapy, 31 patients received the regimen containing gemcitabine, platinums or fluorouracils with an ORR of 3.2% (1/31) and a DCR of 35.5%(11/31); a total of 18 patients received the taxanes-based regimen with an ORR of 11.1%(2/18) and a DCR of 38.9%(7/18); 9 patients received the irinotecan-based regimen with an ORR of 22.2%(2/9) and a DCR of 44.4%(4/9). Univariate analysis showed positive liver metastasis and elevated carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9 level to be significantly correlated with worse survival outcomes ( HR=1.540, 95% CI: 1.019-2.328, P=0.040 and HR=1.892, 95% CI: 1.123-3.188, P=0.017). Conclusion:For patients with advanced biliary tract cancer, in addition to the conventional regimens containing gemcitabine, platinums and fluorouracils, the combination of albumin-bound paclitaxel and S-1 was shown to be an effective chemotherapeutic regimen for these patients. Second-line chemotherapy was insufficient and ineffective, and an irinotecan-based regimen deserves to be further investigated. Liver metastasis and elevated CA19-9 level were worse prognosis after chemotherapy for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer.
