Objective To explore the influence of health education on patients with dysphgia and related complications.Methods Different methods of health education were used with 87 patients with different dysphagia conditions and their earegivers.The health education was oriented to dysphgia evaluation and appropriate functional training to improve deglutition.The severity of dysphgia and related complications were observed before and after the health education. Results Health education combined with functional training could reduce the possibility of pul-monary infection,misaspiration and malnutrition for post-stroke dysphagic patients,and the difference was statistical-ly significant. Conclusions Health educmion combined with functional training is effective in reducing the possi-bility of pulmonary infection and malnutrition and preventing misaspiration in stroke patients with dysphgia.It can help such patients regain the independent deglutition ability in the short term.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Endostar combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical drug use. METHODS: Retrieved from Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, ClinicalTrials, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP database, randomized controlled trials (RCT) about Endostar combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin(trial group) vs. gemcitabine combined with cisplatin (control group) for NSCLC were collected. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation with Cochrane 5.1.0 bias risk evaluation tool and Jadad scale, Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software. RESULTS: A total of 27 RCTs were included, involving 1 646 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that response rate [RR=1.67, 95%CI(1.48,1.89),P<0.000 01] and clinical benefit rate [RR=1.26, 95%CI (1.20, 1.33),P<0.000 01] of trial group were significantly higher than those of control group. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of leucopenia [RR=0.98,95%CI(0.88, 1.11),P=0.79], thrombocytopenia [RR=1.07, 95%CI(0.91, 1.26),P=0.39] and gastrointestinal reaction [RR=1.01, 95%CI(0.90, 1.14),P=0.85] between 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: Endostar combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin can improve therapeutic efficacy of NSCLC patients, without increasing the incidence of ADR.

BACKGROUND:
The thoracic small biopsy sampling procedure including transbronchial forceps lung biopsy (TBLB) and endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) can be accompanied by rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of sample material to provide immediate feedback for the proceduralist. The present study aims to investigate the supplemental effect of ROSE smear samples for lung cancer molecular test.
METHODS:
In a retrospective study, 308 patients admitted to our hospital from August 2020 to December 2022 undergoing diagnostic TBLB and EBUS-TBNA with ROSE and subsequently diagnosed as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were analyzed. The matched formalin-fixed paraffin-embedding (FFPE) tissue section and ROSE smears for tumor cellularity were compared. DNA yields of smears were determined. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were performed on adequate smear samples.
RESULTS:
ROSE smear samples were enriched in tumor cells. Among 308 biopsy samples, 78 cases (25.3%) exhibited inadequate FFPE tissue sections, whereas 44 cases (14.3%) yielded adequate smear samples. Somatic mutations detected in the FFPE tissue section samples were also detected in the matching adequate smear sample.
CONCLUSIONS
ROSE smear samples of the thoracic small biopsies are beneficial supplemental materials for ancillary testing of lung cancer. Combined use of cytology smear samples with traditional FFPE section samples can enhance the detection rate of informative mutations in patients with advanced NSCLC. We recommend that the laboratory could further evaluate the ROSE cell smears of the patient when FFPE tissue sections are inadequate, and that adequate cell smears can be used as a supplemental source for the molecular testing of NSCLC.
