Objective:To explore the effects of deep hyperthermia on chemotherapy-related adverse effects and immune-inflammatory indicators in the patients undergoing postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.Methods:This retrospective study included 52 patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer at the Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University from September 2021 to December 2023. The patients were divided into two groups based on treatment method: the combination group ( n=29) received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy combined with deep hyperthermia, while the chemotherapy group ( n=23) received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy alone. Both groups were treated with the XELOX regimen (oxaliplatin + capecitabine). The degree of bone marrow suppression during treatment was assessed by analyzing peripheral blood parameters, including hemoglobin, leukocyte count, neutrophil count, and platelet count. Immune-inflammatory indicators, including complement, procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), were compared before and after treatment in both groups to evaluate the effects of deep hyperthermia on the immune-inflammatory response. Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test (two-tailed) was used to compare bone marrow suppression rates, and the immune-inflammatory indicators between the two groups were compared using t-tests or non-parametric tests, depending on whether the data conformed to a normal distribution. Results:In terms of myelosuppression, the incidence rates of moderate to severe decreases in leukocytes, neutrophils, platelets, and hemoglobin in the combination group were 31%, 31%, 21%, and 14%, respectively, compared to 52%, 61%, 48%, and 9% in the chemotherapy group. The change in PCT levels before and after treatment was significantly greater in the combination group than in the chemotherapy group ( P = 0.010). Both the combination group and the chemotherapy group showed significant reductions in SII, NLR and PLR after treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The change in NLR before and after treatment was significantly greater in the combination group than in the chemotherapy group ( P = 0.031). Conclusions:Deep hyperthermia can alleviate chemotherapy-induced adverse effects such as thrombocytopenia and neutropenia in patients undergoing postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. It also appears to improve the inflammatory response in these patients.

Objective To determine the feasibility and safety of transprostatic utricle seminal vesiculoscopy in the treatment of hemospermia. Methods Totally 11 patients with hemospermia, mean age of (46.6 ± 3.5) years, ranging from 38 to 68 years, for 3 months admitted from September 2012 to August 2015 were enrolled, Their main manifestations were hemospermia. Painful ejaculation was observed in 7 patients, and perineal and testicular pain occured in 4 patients. They all underwent transprostatic utricle seminal vesiculoscopy, and then were followed up for 3 to 6 months. Results Ten patients were operated successfully, but 1 patient failed. The operation revealed that the causes of hemospermia were seminal vesiculitis in 8 cases, seminal vesiculitis accompanied with seminal calculi in 2 cases, and ejaculatory duct cyst in 1 case. Operation time was (29.2 ± 3.2) min ( ranging from 25 to 37 min) , and hospital stay was 2 d ( from 2 to 4 d). Hemospermia disappeared in 10 patients within 1 month of surgery, and hemospermia recurrence was observed in 1 patient within 6 months. The patient was treated with transprostatic utricle Holmium laser incision, then hemospermia was dispeared,Two cases of postoperative epididymitis were cured after one week of antibiotic treatment. Conclusions Seminal vesiculoscopy is a safe and effective to treat hemaospermia.

Objective:To investigate the safety and effect of complete mesocolie excision (CME) combined with arterial infusion chemotherapy (AIC) and intra-peritoneal interstitial sustained-release chemotherapy (IPISRC). Methods:A total of 104 patients were classified under the experimental group and underwent CME combined with AIC and IPISRC. The other 98 patients were classified un-der the control group and only received radical surgery. Pre-and post-operative blood routine examinations, as well as liver and kidney function tests, were conducted for both groups. Post-operative adverse reactions and incidence of complications were recorded. Cancer and para-neoplastic tissues were sampled in experimental group. The post-surgery 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) concentration in the drainage fluid as well as those in the peripheral blood , were determined. Three-year follow-ups were conducted, during which the local recur-rence rate, liver metastasis, progression-free survival rate, and total survival rate were recorded. Results: No significant differences were found in the white blood cell count, hemoglobin count, liver and renal functions of the patients before and after the surgery, and rate of adverse reaction and complications between the two groups after surgery (P>0.05). In experimental group , the 5-FU concentra-tion was significantly higher in the cancer tissues than in the para-neoplastic tissues . The 5-FU concentration in experimental group was also significantly higher in the intra-peritoneal drainage liquid and reached its peak in the peripheral blood on day 3 post-surgery . Local recurrence and liver metastasis rates were significantly lower in experimental group than those in control group, whereas the pro-gression-free and three-year overall survival rates were significantly higher in experimental group than in control group (P<0.05). Con-clusion:The tharepy of pations of experimental goup is safe and effective. This method significantly improves the progression-free and three-year survival rates of the patients as well as significantly reduces the local recurrence and liver metastasis rates of colon cancer.

Objective To analyze the different approaches and their indications in the laparo-scopic treatment of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma. Methods 94 patients with upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma were divided to two groups. Group A (63 cases) with renal pelvic and ugper ureteral carcinoma were treated with retroperitoneal approach laparoscopic surgery and transurethral reseetoscope surgery. Group B (31 cases) with middle ureteral carcinoma including 6 cases with ureteral local infiltration were treated through 70° recumbent position transperitoneal ap-proach laparoscopic surgery combined with bladder cuff resection. The operative time, blood loss, the intestinal functional recovery time and post-operative complications were recorded. Results All 94 procedures were successfully completed, with no complication during the surgery. The mean operation time of A and B group was 156.5 and 160.8 min;the mean blood loss was 80 and 86 ml; the mean hos-pital stay was 8 and 8. 5 d; the time of bowel functional recovery of group A and group B was 24-48 and 24-72 h, respectively. 84 cases were followed-up with mean follow-up time of 23 months. Three eases and 5 cases were found having bladder tumor in the group A and group B. The incision and port metastasis was not found. Conclusions It is safe and feasible to treat the upper urinary tract transi-tional cell carcinoma laparoscopically. The selection of operating approach is mainly based on the loca-tion and local infiltration status of the tumor.
