Objective To explore the perioperative safety and prognostic factors of sequential hepatectomy after conversion therapy using vascular interventional therapy(including transarterial chemoembolization and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy)combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKI)and programmed death-1(PD-1)inhibitors in patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 106 eligible HCC patients treated in Tumor Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi Medical University from Nov.2019 to Apr.2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The perioperative parameters and postoperative pathological outcomes were described in detail,and factors influencing prognosis were analyzed.Results The median operative time for hepatectomy after conversion therapy was 240 min,with a median blood loss of 200 mL.Intraoperative blood transfusion was required in 24(22.6％)patients.Postoperative adverse reactions occurred in 49.1％(52/106)of patients,with liver failure being the most common adverse reactions(23 patients,21.7％).One(0.9％)patient died during the perioperative period,while the remaining 105 patients were followed up for a median duration of 14.7 months,during which 49(46.2％)patients experienced recurrence.Among them,39(36.8％)cases experienced early recurrence(within 1 year),and 33(31.1％)cases had intrahepatic recurrence.Thirteen(12.3％)patients died during follow-up.The median recurrence-free survival(RFS)was 15.7 months,with 1-year and 2-year RFS rates being 56.9％and 40.3％,respectively.The median overall survival(OS)was not reached,with 1-year and 2-year OS rates being 94.2％and 85.3％,respectively.Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that achieving complete pathological response(hazard ratio[HR]=0.410,95％confidence interval[CI]0.172-0.980,P=0.045),presence of microvascular invasion(HR=2.423,95％CI 1.269-4.625,P=0.007),satellite nodules(HR=1.916,95％CI 1.014-3.620,P=0.045),and multiple tumors(HR=1.818,95％CI 1.012-3.241,P=0.046)were independent factors associated with postoperative recurrence.Conclusion For patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma,vascular interventional therapy combined with TKI and PD-1 inhibitors followed by sequential hepatectomy may be a feasible treatment strategy,with manageable adverse reactions and promising efficacy.

Objective To investigate the potential profile of self-management behavior in patients with sudden deafness,the characteristics and influencing factors of different categories of patients,and provide reference for clin-ical management.Methods A total of 205 patients with sudden deafness who were hospitalized in the Department of Otology of a Grade 3 hospital in Beijing were selected by convenience sampling method from August 2023 to June 2024.Date were collected using the general situation questionnaire,self-management status assessment scale for sudden deafness patient and social support rating scale.Mplus 8.0 was used for potential profile analysis,and SPSS 26.0 was used for single factor analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 200 valid ques-tionnaires were collected.Patients were divided into 3 categories according to their self-management level,which were respectively named as"high management—good self-efficacy group"(n=52,26.00％),"moderate manage-ment—symptoms of special concern group"(n=101,50.50％),and"low management-lack of information acquisi-tion group"(n=47,23.50％).Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that education level,sleep disorder and social support level were the influencing factors of different self-management categories in patients with sudden deaf-ness.Conclusion The overall self-management ability of patients with sudden deafness is at a moderate level and with significant heterogeneity.Education level,sleep disorders,and social support serve as stratification criteria for categorizing different patient groups and formulating corresponding intervention strategies.Priority should be given to providing information support to the"low-management group with information deficiency",implementing targe-ted interventions for the"moderate-management group with symptom focus",and fully leveraging the self-efficacy of the"high-management group with good self-efficacy"to regulate their self-management level.

AIM: To observe the effect of fudosteine on induced sputum cell components and lung function in patients with stable neutrophil-dominated COPD. METHODS: From October 2019 to October 2022, 53 patients with stable COPD were selected and divided into fudosteine group and placebo group. The placebo group was treated with routine treatment, and the fudosteine group was treated with fudosteine on the basis of routine treatment. The two groups were treated for 6 months. The clinical symptoms [Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and Modified British Medical Research Council Dyspnea scale (MMRC), Breathlessness, Cough, and Sputum Scale (BCSS)], lung function index, induced sputum cytology analysis and other related examination results were recorded in detail before and after treatment. RESULTS: (1) Compared with the baseline, the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and the ratio of FEV1 to FVC (FEV1/FVC) of the two groups were improved after treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). However, after treatment, there was no significant difference in pulmonary function between the two groups except for the percentage of carbon monoxide diffusion in the predicted value (DLCO%pre) (DLCO%pre in the fudosteine group was higher than that in the placebo group). (2) After treatment, the total number of induced sputum cells and neutrophil counts in the fudosteine group were lower than those in the placebo group. Compared with the number of cells in each component at baseline, the total number of induced sputum cells and neutrophil count in the fudosteine group were significantly lower (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION: Fudosteine treatment in patients with stable neutrophil-dominated COPD can improve lung function, reduce the total number of induced sputum cells and the total number of neutrophils, thereby improving airway inflammation.
