Objective To compare treatment response according to the PERCIST1.0,RECIST1.1,EORTC,and WHO criteria in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods A total of 41 CLM patients (27 males,average age 68.48 years;14 females,average age 62.43 years) from January 2010 to September 2013 were included in this retrospective study.PET/CT scan was performed before chemotherapy and after 4-6 cycles′ chemotherapy.The baseline and the sequential follow-up 18F-FDG PET/CT of each patient were evaluated according to the PERCIST1.0,RECIST1.1,EORTC,and WHO criteria.The response was categorized into 4 levels including CR,PR,SD,PD.PET/CT images were used for both metabolic and anatomic evaluation.The concurrent diagnostic CT or MRI images (performed within 1 week of PET/CT) were also utilized when needed.The agreements of criteria were analyzed using Kappa test.The response rate (RR) and disease control rate (DCR) were compared using χ2 test.Results The RR and DCR according to the PERCIST1.0,EORTC and RECIST1.1 criteria were 31.71%(13/41) and 63.41%(26/41),31.71%(13/41) and 60.98%(25/41),17.07%(7/41) and 68.29%(28/41),respectively.The general comparison of PERCIST1.0 and RECIST1.1,EORTC and RECIST1.1 criteria showed good agreements (κ values: 0.711,0.689).Significant difference was not found in the DCR(χ2=2.000,P>0.05) but found in the RR(χ2=6.000,P<0.05) between PERCIST1.0 and RECIST1.1.Difference of DCR between EORTC and RECIST1.1 was not significant(χ2=3.000,P>0.05),while the RR had significant difference(χ2=6.000,P<0.05).The RR and DCR according to WHO criterion were 12.20%(5/41) and 70.73%(29/41),which had a good consistency with those according to PERCIST1.0 criteria (κ=0.629).Significant statistical difference was not found in the DCR(χ2=3.000,P>0.05) but found in the RR(χ2=8.000,P<0.05) between PERCIST1.0 and WHO criteria.Conclusions In evaluating CLM treatment response,anatomical criteria and metabolic criteria have a good consistency.But metabolic criteria are more sensitive for RR evaluating.

Objective To explore the status quo of caregivers' intervention behaviors with hospitalized children patients during intravenous transfusion, and to offer a basis for avoiding risks in intravenous transfusion and providing targeted health education.Methods Totally 368 experienced caregivers accompanying new children patients admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University who needed transfusion were investigated with self-designed questionnaires from November 2015 to December 2016.Results It was common for caregivers to take intervention behaviors with the children patients during transfusion and 51.09% of them believed that interventions should be taken when intravenous transfusion was too slow or too quick. There was statistically significant difference in the intervention behaviors between children patients of different ages (F=4.006,P<0.05).Conclusions Caregivers have not fully realized the risks brought to children patients by their intervention behaviors during transfusion. Therefore, it is particularly important to reduce the risks in transfusion by evaluating caregivers' intervention behaviors and enhancing targeted health education.
