Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS+ HIPEC) in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal carcinoma (CRC PC).Methods:The clinical and follow-up data of 90 consecutive CRC PC patients underwent CRS+ HIPEC in Beijing Shijitan Hospital from January 2015 to June 2018 were collected. Kaplan-Meier method and parallel Log rank test were used for survival analysis. Cox regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analysis.Results:A total of 90 CRC PC patients underwent CRS+ HIPEC, the median age was 53 years (rage: 13 to 81 years), and 51 cases were male, while other 39 were female. The median overall survival (mOS) was 21.9 months (95%CI: 15.7, 28.1). The 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 77.8%, 48.6%, 21.1%, and 5.5%, respectively. The incidence rate of serious adverse event (SAE) was 8.9% (8/90). The mortality rate of perioperative period was 2.2% (2/90). Univariate analysis showed the age ( P=0.040), primary tumor site ( P=0.020), preoperative carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) level ( P<0.001), peritoneal cancer index (PCI) ( P<0.001), completeness of cytoreduction (CC) ( P<0.001), ascites ( P=0.012) and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( P<0.001) were significantly associated with the OS. Multivariate Cox-analysis identified preoperative CA125 level( P=0.033), CC of 0 to 1 ( P=0.014), and adjuvant chemotherapy postoperative ( P=0.002) were independent prognostic factor for OS. Conclusions:CRS+ HIPEC can improve survival for CRC PC patients with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Stringent patient selection and complete CRS are two key factors for better survival.

Objective:To explore the pathological characteristics and outcomes of elderly patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) accompanied by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Methods:The diagnosis and treatment process of one elderly patient with CAP accompanied by COVID-19 who was admitted to COVID-19 Treatment Center of Liaoning Province on February 7, 2020 were reviewed. The experience of treatment by analyzing the characteristics of such type of patients during diagnosis and treatment were summarized.Results:A female patient, aged 79 years ald, was admitted to the Center with following features: fever, dry cough, fatigue with dyspnea, scattered moist rales in both lungs, oxygenation index (PaCO 2/FiO 2) of 95 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), and diffuse interstitial pneumonia in both lungs indicated by chest CT, of which the majority were ground glass-like and fibrous lesions. It was confirmed to be consistent with the feature of severe COVID-19 cases. The patient was successfully cured one month later following anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and high-flow oxygen therapies, homeostasis maintenance of the body, psychological counseling, etc. Accordingly, the treatment experience in CAP combined with COVID-19 in the elderly patients was summarized as follows. In respiratory system, the timing of high-flow oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation should be seized. As for anti-inflammatory and antiviral therapy, attention should be paid to the treatment of CAP as well as antiviral therapy and symptomatic and supportive therapy. With the progression of the disease, the production of drug-resistant bacteria and the possibility of fungal infection should be paid attention to. For the circulatory system, we should pay attention to the stability of fluid volume and internal environment, and strengthen hemodynamic monitoring and bedside ultrasound to evaluate the cardiovascular capacity-load. In the aspect of the immune system, the selection of the application time of immune-enhancers and glucocorticoids should be paid attention to. In terms of enteral nutrition, early low-fat and high-protein diet is conducive to the recovery of intestinal function and the prevention of bacterial translocation. In addition to the protection of the function of important organs, therapies such as reasonable sedation and psychological intervention should also be used. Conclusions:Elderly patients with CAP accompanied by COVID-19 have complicated conditions and high degree of difficulty in treatment. Comprehensive evaluation of the disease as well as synthetic and effective intervention are the key factors of successful treatment of such patients.

Objective:s To evaluate the impacts of prior surgical scores(PSS) on the clinical efficacy and perioperative safety of cytoreductive surgery(CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy(HIPEC) for pseudomyxoma peritonei(PMP).Methods:From the comprehensive PMP database, we collect the cases treated for the first time by CRS+ HIPEC, to form this study cohort. The clinicopathological features, PSS, CRS+ HIPEC details, overall survival(OS), and serious adverse events(SAEs) are systematically analyzed, to study the correlations between PSS and OS or SAEs.Results:335 PMP cases received standardized CRS+ HIPEC in this study. The median OS is 58.2 months for PSS-0 patients, 63.7 months for PSS-1, and 55.4 months for PSS-2/3, with no statistically significant differences in OS among the different PSS groups(χ 2=0.499, P=0.779). Subgroup analysis by pathologic types also found no statistically significant differences among the different PSS groups. Moreover, no significantly statistical differences are observed in overall SAEs(χ 2=0.625, P=0.722), CRS-related SAEs(χ 2=0.267, P=0.901), and non-CRS-related SAEs(χ 2=0.677, P=0.715), among the different PSS groups. Conclusions:PSS does not pose significant impacts on the efficacy and safety of CRS+ HIPEC for PMP patients at experienced treatment center.

Objectives: To construct a prognosis predictive nomogram for gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis treated with cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Methods: The clinical data and follow-up results of gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis patients treated by cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy at our center from 2005 to 2017 were collected for log-rank test and multivariate COX proportional regression model analysis. A prognostic predictive nomogram was constructed and internally validated. Results: 115 patients were included. The median overall survival was 13.1 months, and 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates being 56.5%, 25.3%, 12.6%, and 8.1% respectively. Univariate and the following multivariate analysis identified completeness of cytoreduction, temperature of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and type of adjuvant chemotherapy as independent prognostic factors on overall survival. The nomogram using these three factors showed a concordance index of 0.721 (95% CI: 0.669-0.773). The calibration curves for 1-, 2- and 3 -year survival probability showed a good consistency between actual observation and prediction. Conclusions The nomogram based on completeness of cytoreduction, temperature of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and type of adjuvant chemotherapy can effectively predict the survival probability for gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis patients treated with cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the clinico-pathological features and renal outcomes of primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) with glomerular IgM deposition.Methods Primary IgAN diagnosed with biopsy from January 2006 to December 2011 were recruited.Patients were divided into groups according to IgM deposition (Group A) and without IgM deposition (Group B).In addition,Group A was subdivided into two groups based on the position of IgM deposits as the mesangium (Group A1) and both mesangium and capillary wall (Group A2).Renal outcomes were defined as end stage renal disease (ESRD) and/or the doubling of baseline serum creatinine.Clinico-pathological features were retrospectively compared.Kaplan-Meier was conducted for renal outcomes,and Cox regression model was used to analyze the prognostic value of IgM deposition and the position of IgM deposition in the progression of nephropathy in IgAN patients.Results 939 patients were enrolled with 422 (44.9％) having IgM deposition (Group A).Of the 422 patients,382 patients were divided as Group A 1,whereas 40 patients were noted as Group A2.Compared to Group B,hemoglobin,serum protein,albumin and serum IgG levels in group A were significantly lower,and the cholesterol and serum IgM levels were significantly higher (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in serum creatinine,estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),urinary protein,blood pressure and uric acid between group A and B.In terms of pathological manifestations,patients in Group A exhibited more severe histological lesions including glomerular sclerosis,S1,M1 and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration (all P＜0.05).Immunofluorescence showed that the proportion of IgG,C1q and Fg deposition in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (all P ＜ 0.05).By Kaplan-Meier,cumulative renal survival rate has no significant difference between Group A and B (Log-rank test x2=0.019,P=0.891).Univariate and muhivariable Cox regression analysis showed that IgM deposition had no significant effect on the renal progression in IgAN patients.Subgroup analysis showed that patients in Group A2 exhibited higher urine protein,creatinine and blood pressure,and lower eGFR and serum albumin,also had worse histological lesions including M1,E1 and T1-2 of Oxford classification (all P＜0.05),Immunofluorescencc showed that the proportion of IgG,C1q and Fg deposition in group A2 was significantly higher than that in group A1 (all P ＜ 0.05).By Kaplan-Meier,renal survival rates calculated from outcomes were lower in Group A2 (Log-rank test x2=1 8.207,P ＜ 0.001).In addition,IgM deposited both in the mesangium and capillary wall was a risk factor for renal progression of IgAN patients with IgM deposition by a univariate Cox hazards regression mode and multivariable-adjusted Cox models (HR=3.621,95％CI 1.924-6.814,P＜ 0.001;HR=2.309,95％CI 1.176-4.533,P=0.015respectively).Conclusions The IgAN patients with IgM deposition relatively had more severe clinicopathological changes,especially those with IgM deposited both in the mesangium and capillary wall.In this study,IgM deposition was not found to be an independent risk factor for the prognosis of kidney in IgAN patients.However,IgM deposited both in the mesangium and capillary wall was an independent risk factor for renal prognosis in IgAN patients with IgM deposition.

Objective To evaluate double catheterization of cannula persistent irrigation and negative pressure system to treat gastrointestinocutaneous fistula (GIF) after cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal cancer.Methods A self-made double catheterization of cannula persistent bathe and negative pressure system was implanted into the site of fistula,to ensure efficient drainage.The patient was treated with anti-sepsis,nutrition support and other conservative measures.Results GIFs occurred in 13 patients.The negative pressure drainage system was successfully implanted into the fistula site to keep an efficient drainage.By this conservative treatment fistula healed in 8 patients after 50 days (range 12 to 84 days).In other three patients fistula output significantly reduced and general conditions greatly improved.The mortality rate was 15％ (2/13).Conclusion The double catheterization of cannula persistent bathe and negative pressure aspiration system is a simple and efficient method to treat GIF.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of using pegylated recombinant human granulocyte-colonystimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) in preventing neutropenia in multiple chemotherapy cycles. Methods: A multicenter, prospective, open-label, singlearmstudy was designed. Patients with malignant tumors, such as lung, ovarian, and colorectal cancers, who received multiple cycles of chemotherapy with the prophylactic use of PEG-rhG-CSF for 2-4 consecutive cycles participated in the study. Results: After the prophylactic use of PEG-rhG-CSF, the incidence of grade IV neutropenia decreased from 4.76% (13/273) in the first cycle to 1.83% (5/273), 1.15% (2/174), and 2.08% (2/96) in subsequent cycles. Meanwhile, the incidence of grade III neutropenia decreased from 11.36% (31/ 273) in the first cycle to 6.23% (17/273), 2.87% (5/174), and 3.13% (3/96) in subsequent cycles. The incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) during the first cycle was 0.73% (2/273). The duration of FN was 2 days in one case and 5 days in another case. FN was not observed during the second, third, or fourth cycle. After the secondary prophylactic use of PEG-rhG-CSF, the incidence of grade IV neutropenia decreased from 25% (7/28) to 3.57% (1/28), 0% (0/28), and 6.67% (1/15) in subsequent cycles. Meanwhile, the incidence of grade III neutropenia decreased from 71.43% (20/28) to 10.71% (3/28), 14.29% (4/28), and 0% (0/15) in subsequent cycles. The proportion of patients who received antibiotic therapy during the entire chemotherapy period was 10.48% (44/420). Conclusion: The application of PEG-rhG-CSF once per chemotherapy cycle can effectively reduce the occurrence of neutropenia in patients under multiple cycles of chemotherapy treatment with good safety.
