Objective To investigate the effect of restrictive intravenous fluid on the complications and quality of life in the advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients.Methods Clinical data of Three hundred and fifty-seven cases with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma from Mar 2010 to Mar 2016 was retrospectively analyzed.One hundred and sixty-eight cases were recruited in the restrictive intravenous fluid (RIF) group,and One hundred and eighty-nine cases were involved in the control group.The average volume of intravenous fluid of each day,plasma albumin concentration,splanchnocoel hydrops rate,phlebitis,incidence of vomiting,cancer related pain degree,anxiety degree were compared in the two groups.Results The average volume of intravenous fluid of each day in the RIF group [(720.29 ± 106.84) ml] were much lower than that in the control group [(1 820.36±342.12)ml] (P <0.05).The plasma albumin concentration in the RIF group [(35.65 ± 2.21)g/L] were higher than that in the control group [(32.25 ±2.32)g/L] (P <0.05).The rate of splanchnocoel hydrops,phlebitis,vomiting,bedsores,and hypstatic pneumonia in RIF group were 6.25%,4.69%,8.59%,3.9%,11.72% and those in the control group were 13.97%,10.92%,17.47%,10.04%,and 24.45%,respectively (P < 0.05).Moreover,the scores of cancer related pain and anxiety were much lower in the RIF group (5.21 ± 1.09,39.12 ± 5.54) than those in the control group(5.68 ± 1.18,41.56 ± 6.78) (P < 0.01).Conclusions Restrictive intravenous fluid therapy can decrease the cancer associated complications and improved the quality of life in the advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

Objective To measure the specificactivity of natural and synthetic radionuclides in the environmental soil of Panjin, China and determine the content of radionuclides in the surface soil, and to conduct a scientific assessment of the radiation health risks of residents in this area. Methods Thirty-one surface soil samples were collected within the jurisdiction of Panjin, and a high-purity germanium detector was used for γ spectrum analysis to obtain the content of radionuclides and the current environmental radioactivity level. The two independent samples mean t-test was used to compare the specific activity data of radionuclides in soil samples between Panjin and Liaoning Province or China. Results The meanspecific activities of natural radionuclides 238U, 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, and synthetic radionuclide 137Cs in the surface soil samples of Panjin were 18.7 Bq/kg, 19.6 Bq/kg, 23.5 Bq/kg, 604.6 Bq/kg, and 0.9 Bq/kg, respectively. Conclusion The specific activities of natural and synthetic radionuclides in the surface soil samples of Panjin Area at the background level, causing a very low health risk to the people in this area.
