Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Huangkui capsules on targeted drug-related proteinuria in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of HCC patients with targeted drug-related proteinuria from June 2023 to December 2024 at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. According to the treatment plan, patients were divided into the conventional treatment group and the Huangkui combination treatment group (Huangkui capsules combined with conventional treatment), and the clinical efficacy between the two groups was compared. The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the main factors affecting treatment efficacy. Results The Huangkui combination treatment group (n＝29) showed a significantly higher overall effective rate (79.3% vs 42.3%, P＝0.005), and an earlier proteinuria improvement (median time: 3 months vs 6 months, P＝0.008) than the conventional treatment group (n＝26) . The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker (ARB) using (OR＝0.190, 95%CI 0.045-0.808, P＝0.025), targeted drug adjustment (OR＝0.132, 95%CI 0.030-0.581, P＝0.007), and Huangkui capsules using (OR＝0.168, 95%CI 0.039-0.730, P＝0.017) were protective factors for treatment efficacy of targeted drug-related proteinuria. Conclusions On the basis of conventional treatment, additive treatment with Huangkui capsules can alleviate targeted drug-related proteinuria faster and more effectively in HCC patients.

Objective:To investigate the survival outcomes and prognostic factors in patients undergoing radical resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on 992 patients who underwent radical resection for pancreatic body and tail cancer at the Pancreatic Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2016 to June 2024. In this study, 577 (58.2%) were male and 415 (41.8%) were female,with an age of (65±9) years (range: 26 to 86 years). Follow-up continued until June 2024. Survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and prognostic factors were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models.Results:Among 992 patients,open surgery was the predominant approach (89.1%, 884/992), and radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) was performed in 317 patients (32.0%). Combined organ resection,venous resection,and arterial resection were performed in 23.5%, 9.3%,and 11.2% of patients,respectively. The rates of R0, R1-1 mm, and R1-direct resections were 49.8% (494/992),41.5% (412/992), and 8.7% (86/992),respectively. Stage ⅡB was the most common TNM stage (32.2%,319/992). A total of 801 patients (80.8%) received adjuvant chemotherapy. The median follow-up period was 32.0(8.8) months(range:3.2 to 105.3 months),during which 508 patients (51.2%) died. The overall median survival (OS) was 26.4 months,with 1-,3-, and 5-year survival rates of 79.0%,40.0%, and 29.0%, respectively. In the recent five years (from 2020 to 2024), the median OS improved significantly to 34.1 months compared to 20.0 months from 2016 to 2019 ( P<0.01). Histological subtype analysis showed that the median OS time was 26.7 months for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, n=855),58.9 months for invasive intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC, n=32),and 15.7 months for adenosquamous carcinoma of pancreas (ASCP, n=73) ( P=0.001). Among PDAC patients, adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved survival (29.1 months vs. 14.4 months, P<0.01);in IPMC patients, adjuvant chemotherapy also extended survival (65.7 months vs. 58.9 months, P=0.047). Although ASCP patients receiving chemotherapy had a longer median OS time than those without (18.8 months vs. 8.9 months),the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.151). Multivariate Cox regression analysis in PDAC patients indicated that adjuvant chemotherapy, R0 resection, T stage,N stage,and tumor differentiation were independent prognostic factors ( P<0.01). The median OS time by TNM stage was:not reached for stage ⅠA, 51.6 months for ⅠB, 25.5 months for ⅡA, 23.7 months for ⅡB, 23.0 months for Ⅲ, and 14.4 months for Ⅳ. The median OS time for R0,R1-1 mm,and R1-direct resections was 34.1,24.7,and 15.7 months,respectively ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Adjuvant chemotherapy,R0 resection,tumor stage,and differentiation are independent prognostic factors for pancreatic body and tail cancer.

ObjectiveTo explore the current situation， causes， and countermeasures of medical disputes in a tertiary A comprehensive hospital in Xi’an from 2018 to 2023. MethodsA total of 804 medical dispute cases that had been processed in a tertiary A hospital in Xi’an from January 2018 to December 2023 were collected. The occurrence， current characteristics， and cause distribution of medical disputes were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsThe cumulative incidence rate of medical disputes was 4.408/100，000， and the compensation rate was 31.59% （254/804）. The incidence and compensation rate of medical disputes showed an overall increasing trend year by year from 2018 to 2023 （P<0.05）. The proportion of deceased patients in dispute cases in the past 6 years showed an increasing trend annually （χ²=30.396， P=0.011）. Medical dispute cases mainly came from hospitalized patients （65.17%） and patients undergoing surgical treatment （55.35%）， and the top five departments with medical dispute cases were the hepatobiliary surgery department， cardiovascular medicine department， obstetrics and gynecology department， emergency department， and gastroenterology department. The number of in-hospital mediations showed a decreasing trend annually， while the number of people’s mediations showed an increasing trend annually from 2018 to 2023 （χ²=34.523， P<0.001）. The top five causes of medical disputes in this hospital were surgical/operational complications （29.10%）， disease condition assessment/disease diagnosis （10.45%）， diagnosis and treatment plan （9.45%）， diagnosis and treatment effectiveness （8.83%）， and medical insurance reimbursement （7.59%）. ConclusionThe number of medical disputes and compensation cases in comprehensive hospitals is increasing annually， and high-risk departments such as the surgical department and emergency department need to be given high attention. The handling of medical disputes has shown diversification， with people’s mediation gradually taking the dominant position. The causes of medical disputes mainly concentrated on diagnosis and treatment technology， doctor-patient communication， medical insurance， and other aspects. It is necessary to continuously improve the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment technology， strengthen doctor-patient communication， improve the medical insurance system， strengthen hospital connotation management， alleviate doctor-patient conflicts， and builds a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.

Surgical operations are one of the high-risk activities in modern society, and surgeons in this high-pressure environment require not only excellent technical skills but also well-rounded non-technical skills. Non-technical skills encompass key abilities such as situational awareness, decision-making, communication and teamwork, leadership, and stress management, as well as the capacity for error correction feedback loops, emotional intelligence, and adaptability to complex environments. These “soft skills” help surgeons to more effectively handle emergencies during surgery, optimize team collaboration, ensure patient safety, and increase the success rate of operations. Western countries have systematized non-technical skills into physicians’ training programs, while in China, further attention and promotion are still needed. By establishing comprehensive non-technical skill assessment standards and systematic training programs, the overall quality of surgeons can be enhanced, thereby ensuring patient safety, improving clinical outcomes, and fulfilling the professional mission of surgeons.

Imatinib is the standard first-line treatment for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs),but half of patients develop drug resistance within 18 to 24 months.In recent years,more and more retrospective studies have shown that surgery can be used as an adjunct therapy to tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs),delay the onset of drug resistance,and improve patient prognosis.Patients with advanced GISTs who have benefited from targeted therapy or have limited progression and those who are expected to achieve R0/R1 resections may benefit from surgery.Due to the lack of high-quality research evidence,surgical decision-making,patient selection,and the sequence of targeted therapy are still under controversy.The surgical treatment of advanced GISTs should be carried out in a case-by-case manner under the framework of multidisciplinary team guidance.
