Objective:To investigate the influence of different injection time of carbon nanoparticle tracer on the acquisition of lymph nodes in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junc-tion (AEG) treated by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) combined with surgical resection.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 120 AEG patients who were treated by nCRT combined with surgical resection in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March 2020 to March 2021 were selected. Based on random number table, patients were allocated into two groups. Patients undergoing endoscopic injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer 24 hours before nCRT were allocated into the experiment group, and patients undergoing endoscopic injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer 24 hours before surgical resection were allocated into the control group. All patients received the same plan of nCRT combined with D 2 radical gastrectomy. Observation indicators: (1) grouping situations of the enrolled patients; (2) surgical and postoperative pathological situations; (3) postoperative complications and treatment. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the independent sample t test. Measurement date with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the non-parameter rank sum test. Results:(1) Grouping situations of the enrolled patients. A total of 120 patients were selected for eligibility. There were 85 males and 35 females, aged (60±9)years. There were 60 patients in the experiment group and 60 patients in the control group, respectively. (2) Surgical and postoperative pathological situations. Patients in the two groups underwent D 2 radical gastrectomy successfully, with R 0 resection. The number of lymph nodes harvest, the number of lymph nodes stained, the number of metastatic lymph nodes stained, the number of micro lymph nodes, the number of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes, the number of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes stained, cases in postoperative pathological stage N0, stage N1, stage N2, stage N3a were 40.6±13.9,20.1±7.7, 1.0(0,3.0), 8.1±2.8, 3.7±1.3, 2.0(1.0,2.0), 18, 13, 23, 6 in patients of the experiment group, respectively. The above indicators were 30.4±8.3, 12.7±3.5, 0(0,1.0), 6.2±2.0, 2.4±1.2, 1.0(0,1.0), 23, 21, 15, 1 in patients of the control group, respectively. There were significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=-5.01, 6.85, Z=-3.78, t=-4.04, -5.57, Z=-5.48, -2.12, P<0.05). (3) Postoperative complications and treatment. There were 5 cases of the experiment group and 7 cases of the control group with postoperative complications, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.37, P>0.05). The patients with postoperative complications were improved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion:Compared with injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer 24 hours before surgical resection, injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer 24 hours before nCRT can improve the acquisition of lymph nodes in AEG treated by nCRT combined with surgical resection.

Objective:To investigate the clinically relevant factors of progressive disease (PD) after neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced gastric cancer.Methods:From Jun 2011 to Mar 2016, 569 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer(cT3/4N0/+ M0) admitted to the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively analyzed .Results:All 569 patients completed neoadjuvant therapy, 59 patients (10.4%) had PD. Univariate analysis showed that tumor size (χ 2=10.091, P=0.001), pathological type (χ 2=4.110, P=0.043), Borrmann type (χ 2=91.941, P=0.001), pre-treatment cT stage (χ 2=7.980, P=0.005) were associated with PD after neoadjuvant therapy for gastric cancer. The results of multi-factor regression analysis showed that pathological type, Borrmann type, pre-treatment cT stage were independent factors influencing the occurrence of PD after neoadjuvant therapy for advanced gastric cancer. The overall survival and progression-free suruival time of patients with PD is significantly shorter than that of patients without PD . Conclusion:The pathological type, Borrmann typing and pre-treatment cT stage are the influencing factors for the occurrence of PD after neoadjuvant treatment in advanced gastric cancer, and the prognosis of PD patients is poor.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) based on peripheral blood neutrophils, lymphocytes and platelets counts in predicting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer after radical resection.Methods:From January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2015, the data of 2 273 patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical surgery at the Third Department of Surgery of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. SII value was calculated according to the formula (SII=neutrophil cell count (×10 9/L)×platelet cell count (×10 9/L)/lymphocyte count (×10 9/L)). According to receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), the optimal cut-off value of SII was determined and the patients were divided into high SII group and low SII group. Chi-square test was used to compare the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of the two groups. Kaplan-Meier method was applied to draw survival curve, log-rank test was used for univariate survival analysis, and Cox regression model was used for multivariate survival analysis. The ROC of preoperative SII, pathological TNM stage and their combination for predicting prognosis and recurrence were drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC) values were calculated to compare the predictive power of the three. Results:According to the ROC, the optimal cut-off value of SII was 589.5, and there were 1 180 cases (51.91%) in the high SII (SII≥589.5) group and 1 093 cases (48.09%) in the low SII (SII<589.5) group. Compared with those of the low SII group, the maximum diameter of gastric cancer in the high SII group was mostly ≥5 cm (49.04%, 536/1 093 vs. 56.27%, 664/1 180), the histological types were mostly poorly differentiated to undifferentiated (55.63%, 608/1 093 vs. 61.19%, 722/1 180), the depth of tumor invasion was mainly from T4a to T4b (45.11%, 493/1 093 vs. 54.837%, 647/1 180), and the rate of lymph node metastasis, pathological TNM stage, rate of vascular infiltration, incidence of nerve invasion, Ki-67 expression level, serum carcinoembryonic antigen level and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 level in the high SII group were all higher than those in the low SII group (67.70%, 740/1 093 vs. 80.68%, 952/1 180; 57.64%, 630/1 093 vs. 71.10%, 839/1 180; 55.54%, 607/1 093 vs. 67.03%, 791/1 180; 53.89%, 589/1 093 vs. 64.32%, 759/1 180; 45.29%, 495/1 093 vs. 56.69%, 669/1 180; 56.91%, 622/1 093 vs. 63.20%, 734/1 180; 53.25%, 582/1 093 vs. 57.97%, 684/1 180), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=8.842, 11.097, 7.225, 21.467, 50.200, 44.984, 31.687, 25.594, 29.549, 6.612 and 5.119, all P<0.05). The 5-year overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate of the low SII group were 75.66% and 67.61%, respectively, which were both higher than those of the high SII group, (24.92% and 23.31%, respectivily), the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=620.700 and 413.00, both P<0.01). The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that tumor histological type, depth of invasion, pathological TNM stage, vascular invasion and preoperative SII were independent risk factors for postoperative prognosis and recurrence of patients with gastric cancer (odds ratios were 4.126, 2.255, 5.123, 3.826, 6.126, 4.683, 2.472, 5.224, 4.416, 6.212, respectively; 95% confidence interval 2.123 to 9.721, 1.632 to 7.427, 3.325 to 10.211, 2.321 to 9.322, 4.127 to 13.782, 2.561 to 9.418, 1.322 to 6.289, 3.315 to 11.526, 2.213 to 9.382, 4.474 to 13.541; all P<0.05). The predictive power of preoperative SII (AUC=0.842, 0.815) and pathological TNM stage (AUC=0.881, 0.827) for the 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with gastric cancer after radical resection was similar, however the predictive power of combination of the two (AUC=0.943, 0.895) was higher than that of preoperative SII and pathological TNM stage alone. Conclusions:Preoperative SII is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer after radical resection, combined with parthological TNM stage can be used as an indicator to predict the prognosis and recurrence of patients.

Objective:To explore the exfoliative value of multi-slice CT (MSCT) on conversion therapy of gastric cancer patients with positive evaluation cytology (P 0CY 1) . Methods:A total of 36 P 0CY 1 gastric cancer patients receiving conversion therapy in a prospective, single-center, phase Ⅱ clinical trial were enrolled. MSCT examinations were performed before and after conversion therapy. Its solid tumor efficacy evaluation criteria (response evaluation criteria in solid tumors, Recist) 1.1 score and tumor volume reduction rate were evaluated. The Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the correlation between Recist 1.1 score and tumor volume reduction rate and the results of conversion therapy. The ROC curve was used to determine the defined value of the volume reduction rate to identify the effectiveness of conversion therapy, and formulate new grading standards. Results:According to the conversion of free cancer cells in the abdominal cavity , 15 of 36 patients had successful conversion therapy and 21 had failed. The rate of tumor volume reduction in the successful and failed conversion groups was 44.38%±37.86% and -54.96%±156.92%, respectively( P=0.016). The Recist 1.1 score was moderate correlated with the results of conversion therapy ( R=0.540, P=0.001), and the rate of tumor volume reduction was significantly correlated with the results of conversion therapy ( R=0.657, P<0.001). When the tumor volume reduction rate of 26.27% was used as the effective threshold for evaluating conversion therapy, the AUC under the ROC curve was the largest, and the sensitivity and specificity were 80.0% and 85.7%, respectively. Conclusion:Both the MSCT-measured Recist 1.1 score and the tumor volume reduction rate can be used to evaluate the efficacy of conversion therapy in patients with pure exfoliated cytology-positive gastric cancer, and CT tumor volume measurement significantly correlates with conversion therapy results.

Objective:To evaluate multislices helical CT (MSCT) on the efficacy and prognosis of preoperative treatment for locally advanced gastric stromal tumors(GIST).Methods:From Oct 2012 to Oct 2014 at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University 30 patients received MSCT before and after preoperative imatinib treatment to measure the changes of the GIST longest diameter, CT value and tumor volume of the primary lesion. The correlation of Choi score, tumor volume reduction rate and histological efficacy evaluation were analyzed. ROC curve was drew. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves, and the overall survival rates under the new classification were calculated.Results:The median time for preoperative treatment was 8 (4 to 14) months. Postoperative pathology showed 4 cases (13%) with mild effects and 3 cases (10%) with low effects. Seventeen cases (57%) with moderate effect and 6 cases (20%) with high effect. Choi score was moderately correlated with histological efficacy evaluation ( R=0.512, P<0.05), and tumor volume reduction rate was strongly correlated with histological efficacy evaluation results ( R=0.620, P<0.05). When the tumor volume reduction rate of 45.83% was used as the effective threshold, the AUC under the ROC curve was the largest, and the sensitivity and specificity were 87.0% and 85.7%, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rate of 30 patients was 87%. According to the new volume grading standard, the 5-year survival rates of the effective group and the ineffective group were 95% and 67% ( P<0.05) , respectively . Conclusion:MSCT measurement of Choi score and tumor volume reduction rate can evaluate the efficacy of preoperative treatment in patients with locally advanced GIST, and tumor volume measurement standards also have certain value in prognosis perdiction.

Objective: To explore the clinical significance of laparoscopic exploration combined with abdominal exfoliative cytology in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Methods: Inclusion criteria: (1) cancer confirmed by gastroscopy and pathology without preoperative anti-tumor treatment; (2) no distant metastases found in preoperative imaging examinations; (3) patients without surgical contraindications and being tolerant to surgery; (4) patients were willing to undergo laparoscopic exploration and abdominal exfoliative cytology examination, and signed informed consent. A retrospective cohort study method was used to collect and analyze the clinicopathological data of 225 patients with advanced gastric cancer based on the above inclusion criteria from a prospective, multicenter, open, randomized controlled phase III clinical trial (registration No. NCT01516944) conducted between February 2012 and December 2018 in The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, including 162 males and 63 females with age ranged from 23 to 78 years old. Forty-five patients (20.0%) were classified as Borrmann type I to II, and 180 (80.0%) were classified as type III to IV. All the patients underwent laparoscopy and peritoneal lavage cytology under general anesthesia. Laparoscopic exploration sequence: left and right diaphragm→liver and spleen→parietal peritoneum→pelvic cavity→greater omentum, small intestine, mesentery→transverse colon mesentery →stomach. Contents of exploration: (1) with or without ascites; (2) whether metastatic lesions existed in the peritoneum, mesentery, omentum and Douglas pouch; (3) whether metastasis existed on the liver surface; (4) whether the gastric lymph nodes were swollen; (5) whether infiltration occurred on the gastric serosa surface; (6) whether gastric wall was stiff. The left and right subphrenic, the abdominal and pelvic peritoneum, and the mesentery were rinsed with 500 ml of sterilized normal saline. Position of the reverse Trendelenburg was used in the Douglas pouch. The peritoneal lavage fluid under the liver and spleen fossa was collected. Cytological examination was carried out for exfoliative tumor cells. Evaluation criteria: (1) peritoneal metastasis (P): P0 meant no peritoneal metastasis, P1 meant peritoneal metastasis; (2) free peritoneal cancer cells (CY): CY0 meant no cancer cells in peritoneal lavage fluid cytology, CY1 meant cancer cells in peritoneal lavage fluid cytology. The results of patients undergoing laparoscopic exploration combined with abdominal exfoliative cytology, treatment options and prognosis were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate and a survival curve was drawn. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Results: After laparoscopic exploration in 225 patients, clinical staging was corrected in 68 (30.2%) patients, of whom 7 (3.1%) downstaged and 61 (27.1%) increased in staging. Of 164 patients evaluated as P0CY0 after the first laparoscopy and peritoneal cytology examination, 126 underwent radical D2 surgery, and the other 38 patients were found to have later local lesions or extensive fusion of local lymph nodes, so then received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Twenty-nine patients evaluated as P1CY0 or P1CY1 and 32 patients as P0CY1 underwent intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy+conversion therapy, and then a second laparoscopic exploration was performed to determine the treatment plan. In total, the original treatment regimens were changed after laparoscopic exploration in 99(44.0%) cases. The follow-up period ended in January 2019. The overall 2-year survival rate of 225 patients was 64.0%. As for those who were evaluated as P0CY0, P0CY1 and P1CY0-1 after the first laparoscopic exploration, the 2-year overall survival rate was 70.7%, 65.6% and 24.1%, respectively (P=0.002). The stratified analysis showed that among 180 patients with stage III tumor, after laparoscopic exploration combined with abdominal exfoliative cytology, 125 patients were found to be P0CY0, 28 were P0CY1, and 27 were P1CY0-1, whose 2-year overall survival rates were 70.4%, 64.3%, and 29.6% respectively, and the difference among these 3 groups was statistically significant (P=0.009). Conclusion Laparoscopic exploration combined with abdominal exfoliative cytology in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer has important clinical guiding significance in improving accurate staging, treatment options and prognosis evaluation, and can avoid non-therapeutic open-close abdominal surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy and estimate the prognosis of patients with progressive gastric cancer. Methods: A total of 116 patients from a prospective, multicenter, open-label, and randomized phase Ⅲ clinical trial were enrolled in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from Dec 2012 to Jun 2015. Pre- and two weeks after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, multi-slice spiral CT was performed to calculate the percentage change of the longest diameter and tumor volume to evaluate the Recist score and tumor volume reduction rate. Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the correlation of post-volume reduction rate, Recist 1.1 score, and tumor regression grade. The ROC curve was used to find a defined value for the volume reduction rate that identifies the effectiveness of chemotherapy and assign a new grading standard. The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method, and the relationship between the effective survival group and the ineffective group under the new grading standard was observed. Results: The Recist score was moderately correlated with the pathological tumor regression scale, and the volume reduction rate after chemotherapy was strongly correlated with the pathological regression scale (R=0.579). When the tumor volume reduction rate was 12.5% as an effective threshold for evaluating neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the AUC under the ROC curve was the largest, with sensitivity and specificity of 81.1% and 75.9%, respectively. The median survival time of the effective and ineffective groups was 25 months and 18 months, respectively, and the 2-year survival rate was 73.3% and 51.2%. The total survival time of patients with effective chemotherapy was significantly longer than those with ineffective chemotherapy (P=0.003 6). Conclusion The volume measurement grading standard can predict the pathological regression of neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients, and it is superior to the Recist score in the evaluation of efficacy and prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the effect of postoperative precision nutrition therapy on postoperative recovery (PR) of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC). Methods: 71 subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups. The 34 patients of research group were treated with postoperative precision nutrition treatment according to the indirect energy measurement method. The 31 patients of control group were treated with traditional postoperative nutrition treatment. All participants were measured for body mass index (BMI), NRS2002, PG-SGA and relevant laboratory test within the 1st day before surgery and 7th day after surgery. Moreover, the difference between two groups in short-term effects were evaluated. Results: The daily energy supply of control group was 30.1%-43.74% higher than that of the experimental group (P<0.05). The resting energy expenditure (REE) of the research group after surgery was lower than that before operation. The levels of prealbumin, albumin and lymphocyte count were higher in research group than the controls at the 7th day after surgery whereas the opposite was true for the creatinine, urea nitrogen, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin (P<0.05). Similarly, the rate of malnutrition and nutritional risk became lower in the research group (P<0.05). The gastrointestinal function recovery of patients in the research group was comparable to that of the control group (P>0.05). Moreover, the complication rate and hospitalization costs of in research group were significantly lower than that of in control group (P<0.05). For patients with or without nutritional risks before surgery, the nutritional index and inflammatory index in the research group were better than those in the control group. Conclusion Postoperative precision nutrition therapy may improve the postoperative nutritional status and short-term effects of patients with AGC after NC.
