Objective:To investigate the efficacy differences between domestic gefitinib and original gefitinib in the first-line treatment of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sensitive mutation advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (stage Ⅲ B and Ⅳ). Methods:A total of 91 cases with EGFR sensitive mutation advanced NSCLC in Dezhou People's Hospital of Shandong Province from January 2017 to July 2019 were selected and were randomly divided into the observation group (47 cases) and the control group (44 cases) according to random number table method. The observation group was given the treatment of domestic gefitinib, and the control group was given the treatment of original gefitinib, and then the treatment outcome, adverse reactions, survival status and the cost of two groups were compared.Results:The objective response rate in the observation group and the control group was 91.5% (43/47) and 84.1% (37/44), respectively; the disease control rate in the observation group and the control group was 100.0% (47/47) and 97.7% (43/44), respectively; and the differences were not statistically significant ( χ2 = 2.708, P = 0.224; χ2 = 1.080, P = 0.484). The median progression-free survival (PFS) time of domestic gefitinib group and original gefitinib group was 13.26 months (95% CI 11.34-14.66 months) and 13.19 months (95% CI 12.52-15.48 months), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0.735). The subgroup analysis showed that the median PFS time of patients with an exon 19 deletion mutation in the observation group and the control group was 12.98 months (95% CI 11.25-14.75 months) and 13.89 months (95% CI 12.04-15.96 months), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0.604). The median PFS time of patients with an exon 21 L858R missense mutation in the observation group and the control group was 15.08 months (95% CI 11.79-18.21 months) and 11.94 months (95% CI 9.20-14.79 months), and the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0.114). There was no statistically difference in the incidence of adverse reactions including skin rash, diarrhea, interstitial pneumonia, oral mucositis, nausea and vomiting, myelosuppression, abnormal aminotransferase of the two groups of patients (all P > 0.05). The treatment cost in the observation group and the control group during the treatment period was (2 118.43±137.93) yuan per month and (5 945.48±247.48) yuan per month, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 12.854, P = 0.001). Conclusions:Domestic gefitinib and original gefitinib have the same therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of EGFR sensitive mutation advanced NSCLC. The adverse reactions are similar between domestic gefitinib and original gefitinib. Compared with the original gefitinib, the drug economy of domestic gefitinib is better and it can significantly reduce the financial burden of patients, and it can be used as an important option in the first-line treatment of patients with EGFR sensitive mutation advanced NSCLC.

Objective:To investigate whether the risk of intravesical recurrence increases in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUT-UC) and diabetes mellitus (DM) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) with bladder cuff excision. Methods:We ret-rospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 282 UUT-UC patients with no history of bladder neoplasm and who underwent RNU with bladder cuff excision in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January 2005 to December 2013. The recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were compared between the non-diabetic (233 patients) and diabetic (49 patients) patients. The factors influencing intravesical recurrence in patients with UUT-UC after RNU were analyzed. These factors included age, DM, pathologic grade, and stage. Results:Among the 282 patients included in the study, 80 (28.4%) patients developed intravesical recurrence during the median fol ow up of 41 months, and the median time to recurrence was 11 months. Non-diabetic patients had a significantly longer duration of bladder neoplasm RFS than diabetic patients (P=0.013). Multivariate analysis using Cox's regression model indicated that DM (P=0.014), renal pelvis and ureter tumor (P=0.001), and postoperative chemotherapy (P=0.024) were independent influential factors for intravesical recurrence in patients with UUT-UC after RNU with bladder cuff excision. Conclusion:DM posed an increased risk for intravesical recurrence after RNU with bladder cuff excision in patients with UUT-UC. Therefore, these patients need to be closely monitored, and their blood glucose must be controlled.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on perioperative pulmonary compliance and the expression of Toll?like recep?tor(TLR)?2 and TLR?4 in the peripheral blood during perioperative period in patients undergoing open colorectal cancer radical surgery. Meth?ods Twenty patients with colorectal cancer underwent elective general anesthesia,with ASA gradeⅠ?Ⅱand body mass index(BMI)<30 kg/m2, aged 30 to 68 years old,were enrolled for the study. They were randomly divided into control group(group C,n=10)and dexmedetomidine group (group D,n=10). In group D,dexmedetomidine was infused at a rate of 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1 from the beginning of surgery till 30 min before the end of surgery. The patients in group C received same manipulation as in group D except dexmedetomidine was replaced by normal saline. The mean ar?terial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)were recorded before anesthesia induction(T0),30 min(T2),60 min(T3),and 90 min(T4)after the beginning of surgery,extubation(T6),and 3 min after extubation(T7). Airway pressure and lung dynamic compliance were recorded at T1?T7 time points,respectively. Vein blood samples were drawn to analyze the TLR?2,TLR?4 and tumor necrosis factorα(TNF?α)concentration at T0,T4,T7 and the day after operation(T8),respectively. Results Compared with group C,MAP and HR increased in group D at T6(P<0.05);lung dynamic compliance increased in group D at T4(P<0.05);TLR?2 and TLR?4 concentration in serum decreased in group D at T4, T7 and T8(P<0.05);TNF?αconcentration in serum decreased in group D at T4,T7 and T8(P<0.05). Conclusion Continuous infusion of 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1 dexmedetomidine can help to stabilize hemodynamics,relieve inflammatory stress response,maintain the relative stability of intra?operative hemodynamic parameters,and also can improve the pulmonary dynamic compliance of patients.

Objective:
To establish a nomograph model for prediction of cervical central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) among patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC), so as to provide the evidence for designing personalized treatment plans for PTC.
Methods :
The data of patients that underwent thyroidectomy and were pathologically diagnosed with PTC post-surgery in the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from 2018 to 2021 were collected. Patients' data captured from 2018 to 2020 and from 2021 were used as the training set and the validation set, respectively. Predictive factors were screened using a multivariable logistic regression model, and the nomograph model for prediction of CLNM risk was established. The predictive value of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the adjusted curve.
Results:
Totally 1 820 PTC cases were included in the training set, including 458 cases with CLNM (25.16%), and 797 cases in the validation set, including 207 cases with CLNM (25.98%). The prediction model is p=ey/(1+ey), y=0.761 + 0.525 × sex + (-0.039) ×age + 0.351 × extrathyroid invasion + 0.368 × neck lymph node enlargement + 1.021×maximum tumor diameter + (-0.009) × TT4 + (-0.001) × anti-TPOAb. The area under the ROC curve was 0.732 for the training set and 0.731 for the validation set, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed a good fitting effect (P=0.936, 0.722).
Conclusion
The nomograph model constructed in this study has a high predictive value for CLNM among patients with PTC.
