Objective To investigate the predictive and guiding significance of peripheral blood biomarkers on the therapeutic effects of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treatment on lung cancer patients. Methods We collected the data of 200 lung cancer patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors treatment, including clinical indicators, peripheral blood indicators, efficacy indicators and survival indicators. Results The DCR of patients with non-hepatic metastasis, immune combined chemotherapy, NLR≤2.81 and LDH≤202.5 u/L was higher (P < 0.05). The AUC value of NLR combined with LDH predicting DCR was 0.698 (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis showed that non-hepatic metastasis, first-line immunotherapy, immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy and LDH≤202.5 u/L were related to PFS (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the patients with non-hepatic metastasis and LDH≤202.5 u/L had longer PFS (P < 0.05). The significant decrease of NLR and LDH after two cycles of immunotherapy indicated the effectiveness of immunotherapy (P < 0.05). Conclusion NLR≤2.81, LDH≤202.5 u/L, non-hepatic metastasis and immunotherapy combined chemotherapy are positively correlated with immunotherapy efficacy. Non-hepatic metastasis and LDH≤202.5 u/L are independent prognostic factors of the patients treated with immunotherapy. The changes of peripheral blood NLR and LDH are related to the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors treatment.

Objective:To analyze the safety and effectiveness of application of modified double-lumen microcatheter in the measurement of fractional flow reserve(FFR) in coronary bifurcation lesions.Methods:Total of 28 patients with coronary bifurcation lesions in two centers were divided into two groups:conventional technique group(CON) and novel technique group(NOV). The fluoroscopy time, contrast dye usage and FFR-related complications of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively.Results:There were 16 cases in CON group and 12 cases in NOV group. The median time required fluoroscopy in NOV group was significantly less than that in CON group; additionally, lesser amounts of contrast dye were used in NOV group (both P<0.05). The NOV group procedures were successfully accomplished in all cases without complications, such as damage of the pressure sensor, SB spasm or dissection. However, The CON group failed in three patients, including two who experienced coronary artery spasms( P>0.05). Conclusions:Limited experience suggests that the application of modified double-lumen microcatheter in the jailed SB FFR measurement after MV stenting is a safe and technically feasible approach.

Objective: To analyze the causes of complication of early acute kidney injury (AKI) in four severely burned patients, and to explore the related treatment methods. Methods: The clinical data of 4 patients with severe burn complicated with early AKI admitted to Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Jinan University (hereinafter referred to as our hospital) from June 2014 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were male, aged 23-33 (30±5) years old, with depth of burns ranged from deep partial-thickness to full-thickness, complicated with myofascial compartment syndrome of extremities and varying degrees of striated muscle injury, and treated in other hospitals before transfer to our hospital. The patients were numbered from small to large according to the total burn area. The total burn area of patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 was 10%, 80%, 90%, and 95% total body surface area respectively, their occurrence time of early AKI was 48, 11, 29, and 48 hours after injury respectively, and their time of arriving our hospital was 60, 11, 29, and 144 hours after injury respectively. Hypovolemic shock occurred in patients No. 2 and 3 at admission to our hospital. All the patients received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after admission to our hospital. Under the support of hemodynamic monitoring and organ function monitoring, the limbs complicated with myofascial compartment syndrome were incised, thorough decompression exploration was performed, and necrotic muscle tissue was removed or amputation was performed. After escharectomy and decompression of limbs, fresh granulation wounds were formed by temporarily covering wounds with Jieya dressing skin or pig skin, multiple debridements, and vacuum sealing drainage. Fresh granulation wounds and other wounds underwent staged eschar excision and shaving were covered with autologous Meek skin graft, particulate skin graft, reticular skin graft and small skin graft respectively. The treatment outcome, CRRT time, operation times, time of recovery of serum creatinine and myoglobin, length of hospital stay, and follow-up were recorded. Results: All the 4 patients were cured after transfer to our hospital. Among them, totally 5 limbs of patients No. 1 and No. 4 underwent amputation because of complication of myofascial compartment syndrome and a large amount of necrotic muscle which could not be preserved. Patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 were treated with CRRT for 19, 35, 14, and 25 days respectively and performed with operation for 5, 6, 10, 8 times respectively. Serum creatinine of patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 returned to normal on 22, 35, 37, and 48 days after transfer respectively, and their serum myoglobin returned to normal on 18, 28, 25, and 30 days after transfer respectively. Patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 were hospitalized for 52, 105, 148, and 156 days and discharged after basic wound healing. Follow-up for 1 to 36 months showed no abnormal renal function in 4 patients. Conclusions The early AKI in patients No. 1 and 4 was caused by rhabdomyolysis after severe burn complicated with myofascial compartment syndrome, while that of the other 2 cases were also related to hypovolemic shock and poor renal perfusion. The success rate of early AKI treatment in severely burned patients can be effectively improved by removing the causes of diseases at the same time of CRRT and actively treating burn wounds under the support of organ function and hemodynamic monitoring.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of local lauromacrogol injection in the treatment of laryngopharyngeal hemangioma. METHODS A total of 10 patients suffering from hemangioma of pharynx and larynx from Aug 2015 to Mar 2018 were collected. Endoscope assisted local lauromacrogol injection under topical was used. The therapeutic effects were observed and analyzed.RESULTS All patients were followed up for 3 months to 1 year. Among them, 9 cases were cured and 1 was obviously effective for totally 1 to 4 (mean 1.9) injections. All patients complained of postoperative pain or foreign body sensation, 3 patients were significantly affected by local swelling of the injection site. 2 patients underwent tracheostomy and 1 patient returned to ward with endotracheal intubation postoperatively. No complications such as mucosal ulceration, fever, allergies occurred. CONCLUSION Lauromacrogol injection is a safe and effective method to treat hemangioma of pharynx and larynx.

Objective To evaluate the association between interleukin-10(IL-10 )polymorphisms and endometriosis suscepti-bility by meta-analysis.Methods Computer retrieval Pubmed,Embase,Chinese HowNet,Chinese biomedical and Wanfang database.Published data relating to case-control studies reporting the link between IL-10 polymorph-isms and endometriosis were retrieved.Meta-analysis was conducted to determine whether the IL-10 gene polymorphisms were associated with endo-metriosis.Results Six studies were finally accepted for analysis.There were five studies focused on-819T/C polymorphism and six studies focused on-592A/C polymorphism.The odds ratio of each genetype for endometriosis:TT/CC,TC/CC,AA/CC and AC/CC were 0.90(0.81~0.99),P<0.05;0.92(0.82~1.02),P>0.05;0.92(0.79~1.07),P>0.05;0.98(0.90~1.06),P>0.05.No significant publication bias was found regarding TT/CC,TC/CC,AA/CC and AC/CC genotypes(P=0.81,0.81,0.71,0.26).Conclusion IL-10 gene-819TT genotypes may be a protetive factor of endometriosis.There was no related to show that other genotypes in position-819 and-592 were associated with endometriosis.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy of intravascular ultrasound guided tranradial rotational atherectomy (RA) followed by drug eluting stent (DES) implantation in treating patients with heavily calcified coronary lesions.

METHODSClinical characteristics, coronary angiogram, intravascular ultrasound images, peri-procedure and follow-up data (including death , myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization) of 44 patients treated with RA and DES implantation under the guidance of IVUS in our department from March 2011 to March 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. IVUS examination was carried out before RA, after RA and stent implantation to guide whether further RA or post dilatation was needed. According to the arc of calcification, the patients were divided into group A (90°-270°, 18 cases) and group B (271°-360°, 26 cases).

RESULTSIn A and B group, the arc of calcification was (195 ± 71)° in group A and (345 ± 23)° in group B (P < 0.01) , length of calcification was (34.4 ± 11.8) mm in group A and (20.0 ± 6.6) mm in group B (P < 0.05). Number of burrs used and size of largest burr used were similar between 2 groups (both P > 0.05). Acute cross sectional area gain after RA was (0.43 ± 0.32) mm in group A and (0.53 ± 0.38) mm² in group B (P > 0.05). After RA, there was significant decrease in the arc of calcification in group B compared with baseline ((324 ± 52)° vs. (345 ± 23)°, P < 0.05). The minimal lumen area and diameter were significantly increased after RA resulting in significant decrease in the plaque burden in both groups (all P < 0.05). The final minimal lumen area after stenting were similar between 2 groups (P > 0.05). Procedure success rate was 100% (44/44) without any major complications such as death, acute myocardial infarction and coronary perforation. During the (16.6 ± 6.3) months follow-up, there was 1 death in group A, 1 target lesion revascularization in group B and there was no acute myocardial infarction in the 2 groups.

CONCLUSIONHeavily calcified coronary lesions can be effectively and safely treated by transradial RA under the guidance of IVUS.

ObjectiveTo measure the displacement parameters of the femoral head in space through CT three-dimensional reconstruction so as to re-understand impacted femoral neck fractures.MethodsFifty patients with impacted femoral neck fractures were included in the study.There were 17 males and 33 females.Bilateral proximal femurs of each patient were scanned by spiral CT preoperatively.Then these primitive CT data were reconstructed by Mimics 10.01 software.Registered the normal femur and fracture mirror model,the registered mirror model was generated a new mask in the CT cross-sectional images,marked key points in the masks and measured the displacement parameters of femoral head with three-dimensional measurement technology.ResultsIn the impacted femoral neck fractures,the femoral head displacement angle was 17.17°±10.40°,70％(35/50) of the patients had femoral head rotation angle was at 10° to 35°,and 30％(15/50) of the patients had femoral head space displacement more than 20°.The average displacement distance of femoral head center and the deepest point of fovea capitis were(6.49±3.60) mm and(10.42±5.92) mm,respectively.A high proportion of the impacted femoral neck fractures had a large of displacement in the three-dimensional space.It is not scientific to equal impacted femoral neck fractures to undisplaced fractures.ConclusionThree-dimensional reconstruction and digital measurement is a precise,efficient and convenient method for the measurement of femoral head displacement parameters in femoral neck fracture patients.The classic Garden classification for impacted femoral neck fractures has certain defects and limitations.Clinicians should re-understand impacted femoral neck fractures and choose more reasonable treatment.

Objective To investigate the features of intravertebral vacuum phenomenon (IVP)in vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). Methods Two hundred and nine patients with VCFs underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). The biopsies and the images of X-ray, CT, MRI of VCFs were obtained. The consistency between IVP and osteonecrosis on histology and the positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), sensitivity, specificity and Youden index of IVP for diagnosing local osteonecrosis in VCFs were analyzed. Fisher exact probability test was used to analyze the coherence between IVP and osteonecrosis. Results Histological examination revealed 146(69.9%) osteoporoses, 10 (4.8%) osteonecroses with osteoporoses, 53 (25.4%) neoplasms. Prior to surgery,10 cases of IVP were found. Plain radiograph showed horizontally oriented lucent cleft in the vertebral body;CT further confirmed the location of gas;T_1-weighted MR image appeared hypointensity,while the signal intensity of T_2-weighted MR image differed, depending on the duration of recumbency. Nine of 10 patients with IVP showed osteonecrosis on histology, while 9 of 10 patients with osteonecrosis contained IVP. The association of osteonecrosis on histology and the IVP was statistically significant(P <0.01). The PPV, NPV, sensitivity, specificity, and Youden index for diagnosing local osteonecrosis was 90% (9/10), 99.5% (198/199), 90.0% (9/10), 99.5% (198/199), and 0.9, respectively. Conclusion The IVP is stongly suggestive of local osteonecrosis in vertebral compression fracture.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and unveil the current status of diagnosis and treatments. Methods The registry data from 23 medical centers cover different areas of China. A total of 2030 new cases of RCCs in the 23 centers from Au-gust 2007 to October 2008 were collected, in which 1975 cases had integrated data for analysis. The symptoms, diagnostic techniques, pathology features, and therapeutic selection were analyzed. Re-sults A total of 1975 new cases were reviewed, with 1329 males and 634 females. The male and fe-male ratio was about 2.1 : 1.0. Of all cases, 1238 patients (62.7%) were asymptomatic and detected by examination, while 711 patients (36.0%) were symptomatic. 1260 patients (63.8%) were clinical stage Ⅰ , most of them were asymptomatic. 1844 patients were treated surgically, 1500(81.3%) un-derwent radical nephrectomy, 325 (17. 6%) underwent partial nephrectomy. Among the operations, open operation was performed in 1493 cases(81.0%), laparoscopic procedure in 351 cases(19.0%). There were 1522(84.5%) clear cell carcinomas, 98 (5.44%) papilliform renal cell carcinomas. Con-clusions Routine health examination could be an important way to diagnose early stage RCC. Open radical nephrectomy is the most often used surgical technique among the centres of present study.
