Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus sequential chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Methods The relevant literature was searched in PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI and Wanfang databases from the inception to October 15, 2023, and the literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Review Manager 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis of the literature, and the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the literature. Results Finally, 14 randomized controlled studies were included covering a total of 1048 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that the overall response rate [OR=2.39, 95%CI (1.83, 3.11)], 1-year survival rate [OR=1.81, 95%CI (1.39, 2.35)], 2-year survival rate [OR=1.75, 95%CI (1.27, 2.42)] and 3-year survival rate [OR=2.33, 95%CI (1.49, 3.66)] were superior to sequential chemoradiotherapy (P<0.001). In terms of safety, concurrent chemoradiotherapy increased the incidence of radiation esophagitis (P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference in the incidence of leukopenia and radiation pneumonia (P>0.05). Conclusion For patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer, the short-term efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy is better than that of sequential chemoradiotherapy and can improve the 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates, but the toxic side effects of the treatment are slightly greater than those of the sequential chemoradiotherapy.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of hip arthroscopy combined with multiple small-diameter drilling decompression in the treatment of early avascular necrosis of femoral head.Methods The study selected 150 patients with early avascular necrosis of femoral head who received treatment in our hospital from December 2019 to June 2023.According to the treatment method,they were divided into the individual drilling group(75 cases)and the multiple small-diameter drilling group(75 cases),with 4 cases in the individual drilling group and 2 cases in the multiple small-diameter drilling group.Finally,they were included in the individual drilling group(71 cases)and the multiple small-diameter drilling group(73 cases).The individual drilling group received hip arthroscopy combined with single drilling decompression,while the multiple small-diameter drilling group received hip arthroscopy combined with multiple small-diameter drilling decompression.Both groups were followed up for 1 year after surgery.The surgical related indicators,including hip joint function,pain degree(before surgery,3 months after surgery,and 1 year after surgery),muscle strength,quality of life(before surgery and 1 year after surgery),and bone metabolism indicators(before surgery and 3 months after surgery)between the two groups were compared.Results Compared with the individual drilling group,the intraoperative bleeding in the multiple small-diameter drilling group was less,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).1 year after surgery,the Harris scores of both groups were higher than those before surgery and 3 months after surgery.At 3 months after surgery,the Harris scores of both groups were higher than those before surgery,and 1 year after surgery,the Harris score of multiple small-diameter drilling group was higher than that of individual drilling group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).1 year after surgery,the visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of the two groups were lower than those before surgery and 3 months after surgery,and lower than those before surgery at 3 months after surgery.Moreover,at 3 months and 1 year after surgery,VAS scores of the multiple small-diameter drilling group were significantly lower than those of the individual drilling group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with before surgery,1 year after surgery,the proportion of patients with muscle strength level 4 and scores of 36-Item Short Form Health Survey in both groups increased,and compared with the individual drilling group,those in the multiple small-diameter drilling group were higher,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with before surgery,at 3 months after surgery,the levels of serum bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP-2),25-hydroxycholecalciferol,and insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)in both groups increased,and compared with the individual drilling group,the multiple small-diameter drilling group was higher,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);The levels of serum C-telopeptide of type II collagen(CTX-II)in both groups decreased,and compared with the individual drilling group,that in the multiple small-diameter drilling group was lower,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The use of hip arthroscopy combined with multiple small-diameter drilling decompression for the treatment of early avascular necrosis of femoral head results in relatively less intraoperative bleeding,the degree of postoperative pain is mild,and the improvement effects of bone metabolism indicators and muscle strength are superior to those of decompression by individual drilling alone.It can significantly improve the hip joint function and quality of life of patients.It is a worthy clinical application.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcome differences between robotic-assisted intramedullary nailing and traditional manual surgery,and to analyze the advantages and feasibility of robotic-assisted intramedullary nail fixation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients.Methods From December 2023 to December 2024,elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures who underwent surgery at Department of Trauma Orthopedics,Beijing Luhe Hospital,Capital Medical University were included.Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical method.The robotic-assisted group underwent robotic-assisted intramedullary nail fixation,while the traditional group received manual intramedullary nail fixation.Baseline data and observation indicators were collected and compared between the two groups to assess any differences.Results There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups(P>0.05).The intraoperative blood loss in the robotic-assisted group was(94.28±9.43)mL,compared to(143.00±11.11)mL in the traditional group(P<0.001).The operative time in the robotic-assisted group was(53.06±9.89)min,while in the traditional group,it was(66.74±10.18)min(P<0.001).The skin incision length for the main nail in the robotic-assisted group was(3.23±0.64)cm,whereas in the traditional group,it was(4.03±0.79)cm(P<0.01).Postoperative hemoglobin levels in the robotic-assisted group decreased by(12.63±4.27)g/L,compared to(17.29±4.32)g/L in the traditional group(P=0.018).At 6 months postoperatively,the Harris hip scores in the robotic-assisted group showed 30 cases of excellent,10 good,and 3 poor outcomes,while in the traditional group,there were 22 excellent,15 good,and 6 poor cases(P=0.198).Conclusion Robotic-assisted intramedullary nailing for intertrochanteric fractures offers advantages such as minimally invasive and precise procedures,shorter operative times,and reduced blood loss.Compared to traditional surgical methods,it demonstrates certain benefits in reducing postoperative complications in elderly patients.

Since the first case of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) at the end of 2019, the virus has spread rapidly around the world and has become a global public health problem. In the process of this virus epidemic, compared with the general population, cancer patients are considered to be highly susceptible people, especially the lung cancer patients. Some studies have shown that angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) may be the pathway for SARS-CoV-2 to infect the host. At the same time, ACE2 is often abnormally expressed in non-small cell lung cancer. Therefore, understanding the respective mechanisms of ACE2 in COVID-19 and non-small cell lung cancer has extremely important reference value for the study of vaccines and therapeutic drugs, and also provides meaningful guidance for the protection of patients with lung cancer during the epidemic. This article reviews the possible invasive mechanism of ACE2 in SARS-CoV-2 and its abnormal expression in non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective    To systematically evaluate the application effect of CT-guided Hook-wire localization and CT-guided microcoil localization in pulmonary nodules surgery. Methods    The literatures on the comparison between CT-guided Hook-wire localization and CT-guided microcoil localization for pulmonary nodules were searched in PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang, VIP and CNKI databases from the inception to October 2021. Review Manager (version 5.4) software was used for meta-analysis. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of studies. Results    A total of 10 retrospective cohort studies were included, with 1 117 patients including 473 patients in the CT-guided Hook-wire localization group and 644 patients in the CT-guided microcoil localization group. The quality of the studies was high with NOS scores>6 points. The result of meta-analysis showed that the difference in the localization operation time (MD=0.14, 95%CI −3.43 to 3.71, P=0.940) between the two groups was not statistically significant. However, the localization success rate of the Hook-wire group was superior to the  microcoil group (OR=0.35, 95%CI 0.17 to 0.72, P=0.005). In addition, in comparison with Hook-wire localization, the microcoil localization could reduce the dislocation rate (OR=4.33, 95%CI 2.07 to 9.08, P<0.001), the incidence of pneumothorax (OR=1.62, 95%CI 1.12 to 2.33, P=0.010) and pulmonary hemorrhage (OR=1.64, 95%CI 1.07 to 2.51, P=0.020). Conclusion    Although Hook-wire localization is slightly better than microcoil localization in the aspect of the success rate of pulmonary nodule localization, microcoil localization has an obvious advantage compared with Hook-wire localization in terms of controlling the incidence of dislocation, pneumothorax and pulmonary hemorrhage. Therefore, from a comprehensive perspective, this study believes that CT-guided microcoil localization is a preoperative localization method worthy of further promotion.

Objective    To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of jejunostomy tube versus nasojejunal tube for enteral nutrition after radical resection of esophageal cancer. Methods    PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM databases were searched to collect the clinical effects of jejunostomy tube versus nasojejunal nutrition tube after radical resection of esophageal cancer from inception to October 2021. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results    Twenty-six articles were included, including 17 randomized controlled studies and 9 cohort studies, with a total of 35 808 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that: in the jejunostomy tube group, the postoperative exhaust time (MD=–4.27, 95%CI –5.87 to –2.66, P=0.001), the incidence of pulmonary infection (OR=1.39, 95%CI 1.06 to 1.82, P=0.02), incidence of tube removal (OR=0.11, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.30, P=0.001), incidence of tube blockage (OR=0.47, 95%CI 0.23 to 0.97, P=0.04), incidence of nasopharyngeal discomfort (OR=0.04, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.13, P=0.001), the incidence of nasopharyngeal mucosal damage (OR=0.13, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.42, P=0.008), the incidence of nausea and vomiting (OR=0.20, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.47, P=0.003) were significantly shorter or lower than those of the nasojejunal tube group. The postoperative serum albumin level (MD=5.75, 95%CI 5.34 to 6.16, P=0.001) was significantly better than that of the nasojejunal tube group. However, the intraoperative operation time of the jejunostomy tube group (MD=13.65, 95%CI 2.32 to 24.98, P=0.02) and the indent time of the postoperative nutrition tube (MD=17.81, 95%CI 12.71 to 22.91, P=0.001) were longer than those of the nasojejunal nutrition tube. At the same time, the incidence of postoperative intestinal obstruction (OR=6.08, 95%CI 2.55 to 14.50, P=0.001) was significantly higher than that of the nasojejunal tube group. There were no statistical differences in the length of postoperative hospital stay or the occurrence of anastomotic fistula between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion    In the process of enteral nutrition after radical resection of esophageal cancer, jejunostomy tube has better clinical treatment effect and is more comfortable during catheterization, but the incidence of intestinal obstruction is higher than that of traditional nasojejunal tube.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of sequence of pulmonary artery and vein transection in thoracoscopic lobectomy on the efficacy and safety of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Methods PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM databases were searched for the researches on The post-operative efficacy of pulmonary arteriovenous and pulmonary vein resection sequence in thoracoscopic lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer. The retrieval time is from the database construction to May 2022. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results Eight articles were included, including 3 randomized controlled studies and 5 cohort studies, with a total of 1810 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that: The operative time (MD=13.34, 95%CI(7.36, 19.32), P < 0.0001) and intraoperative blood loss (MD=45.29, 95%CI(40.24, 50.35), P < 0.0001) in the group with priority pulmonary vein resection were significantly higher than those in the group with priority pulmonary vein resection. The difference was statistically significant. However, the benefits of OS (HR=1.34, 95%CI (1.12, 1.60), P=0.001) and DFS (HR=1.44, 95%CI(1.18, 1.76), P=0.0003) in the group of priority pulmonary vein transection were significantly better than those in the group of priority pulmonary artery transection, with statistically significant differences. Conclusion Priority pulmonary vein transection during thoracoscopic lobectomy effectively improved patients' OS and DFS, resulting in higher survival benefit for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, but intraoperative bleeding and operation time are more than those with priority pulmonary artery transection.

Objective    To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of nedaplatin versus cisplatin combined with fluorouracil in the treatment of esophageal neoplasms. Methods    PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang, VIP and CBM databases were searched by computer to investigate the randomized controlled studies about the clinical effects of nedaplatin combined with fluorouracil versus cisplatin combined with fluorouracil in the treatment of esophageal neoplasms. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to January 2021. And meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. Results    A total of 12 randomized controlled studies involving 744 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the total effective rate of the nedaplatin group was better than that of the cisplatin group (P<0.05). The incidence of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and renal impairment in the nedaplatin group was lower than that in the cisplatin group (P<0.05), but the incidence of leukopenia and hemoglobin decline was higher than that in the cisplatin group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of liver injury, or platelet decline between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion    Nedaplatin combined with fluorouracil has more advantages than cisplatin combined with fluorouracil in the treatment of esophageal cancer, the incidence of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea is lower, and the damage to kidney function is also smaller.
