Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of capecitabine in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Methods Totally 160 elderly patients with stageⅣcolorectal cancer were enrolled in this study. After first-line combined chemotherapy,80 patients were treated with capecitabine monotherapy(maintenance group)and another 80 cases were not(control group). The survival rate was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curve and the efficiency and incidence of adverse events were compared. Results (1) The Kaplan-Meier curve suggested that the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)The response rate of maintenance group was significantly higher than that of control group (P < 0.05). (3)The incidence of adverse events during capecitabine monotherapy was lower than that during combined chemotherapy(P < 0.05).(4)The incidence of adverse reactions during capecitabine monotherapy was similar to that of control group(P > 0.05). Conclusion Capecitabine monotherapy in patients with stage Ⅳ colorectal cancer after combined chemotherapy has a longer median PFS than those without maintenance but similar adverse reactions ,which was worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To investigate the safety of inter-hospital referral and the prognosis of neonatal with critical congenital heart disease.Methods:The criticality score, transit distance and time, and the prognosis of 237 newborns with critical congenital heart disease in Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital from July 2016 to July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 237 children were included (162 male and 75 female) with the median age of 6 days and the median body weight of 2.98 kg.The median transit distance was 90 km.The average value of neonatal critical illness score (NCIS) was (86.54±9.05) scores before transport; 136 cases were greater than 90 scores, 84 cases between 70 and 90 scores, 17 cases less than 70 scores; while the average NCIS was (87.05±8.19) scores when arrived at neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), 138 cases were greater than 90 scores, 82 cases between 70 and 90 scores, 17 cases less than 70 scores.There were no significant differences in the scores of critical cases before and after transfer according to the transfer time and distance ( t=0.346, P>0.05). There was no one death occurred during the transfer process.All over, 222 cases were cured and discharged from the hospital after surgery and or medical interventional treatments, 15 cases died after giving up treatment or losing the opportunity for surgery. Conclusions:It is safe and effective of the inter-hospital transport for the rescue of infants with critical congenital heart disease when followed the principles and transport rules and regulations, with trained workers and special equipments.
