Radical chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for unresectable locally advanced esophageal carcinoma, but its efficacy needs to be further improved, and combined immunotherapy is a potential direction to solve this issue. At present, the combination of radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy with immunotherapy mainly includes three modes: induction chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy before radiotherapy and chemotherapy, concurrent immunotherapy during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and immune maintenance therapy after radiotherapy and chemiotherapy. A number of phase I and Ⅱ clinical trials have shown that radiotherapy and chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy can be tolerated by patients with good clinical efficacy, and more research data and long-term follow-up results are expected. At the same time, the adverse reactions caused by immunotherapy still deserve attention. Finding the optimal combination therapy mode, screening the patient population suitable for the treatment mode, and predicting and identifying serious adverse reactions as early as possible are the directions that need to be explored continuously.

Objective:To investigate the change of the detection rate of colorectal cancer (CRC), colorectal adenoma and advanced adenoma in adults under colonoscopy in Shihezi in the past ten years.Methods:Data of patients who completed colonoscopy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University School of Medicine from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019 were investigated. The medical records were collected by consulting the electronic medical record system, including the age and sex of patients and the location, quantity, size and pathological type of lesions. The detection rates, including the overall detection rate in the past 10 years, those in the first 5 years (from 2010 to 2014) and the second 5 years (from 2015 to 2019) of colorectal adenomas, advanced colorectal adenomas and CRC, were studied.Results:A total of 50 645 cases were included, 14 931 cases were excluded by the exclusion criteria, and finally a total of 35 714 cases were included in the data analysis. The 10-year overall detection rates of colorectal adenoma, advanced colorectal adenoma and CRC were 17.65% (6 302/35 714), 4.45% (1 589/35 714) and 3.71% (1 324/35 714), respectively. The overall detection rates of colorectal adenoma and advanced colorectal adenoma in the second 5 years were higher respectively than those in the first 5 years [20.33% (4 565/22 457) VS 13.10% (1 737/13 257), 4.69% (1 053/22 457) VS 4.04% (536/13 257)]. The overall detection rate of CRC in the second 5 years [3.30% (741/22 457)] was lower than that in the first 5 years [4.40% (583/13 257)].Conclusion:Compared with 2010 to 2014, the detection rate of colorectal adenoma in Shihezi area in 2015 to 2019 increased significantly, the detection rate of advanced colorectal adenoma increased slightly, and the detection rate of CRC decreased slightly. Therefore, the detection and resection of colorectal adenoma by colonoscopy may be important in reducing the incidence of CRC.

Objective:To study the clinical application of ultrasound-guided puncture and catheter tip positioning in peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) among very/extremely low birth weight infants (VLBWI/ELBWI).Method:From January 2019 to August 2020, VLBWI/ELBWI admitted to NICU of our hospital and received PICC were prospectively enrolled in the study. Based on the last digit of medical record number was odd or even, the infants were assigned into ultrasound group and X-ray group. In the ultrasound group, puncture and catheter tip positioning were performed at bedside guided by ultrasound, while in the X-ray group, these procedures were performed empirically. The differences of catheterization procedure duration, first-time success rate, the visibility of catheter tip, primary dislocation rate, secondary dislocation rate and complication rate were compared between the two groups using SPSS 25.0.Result:A total of 118 premature infants were enrolled, including 57 cases in ultrasound group (50 cases VLBWI and 7 cases ELBWI) and 61 cases in X-ray group (54 cases VLBWI and 7 cases ELBWI). The catheterization procedure duration [(23.2±7.1) min vs. (34.1±7.5) min], first-time success rate (93.0% vs. 65.6%), the visibility of catheter tip (96.5% vs. 83.6%), primary dislocation rate (7.0% vs. 24.6%) and complication rate (7.0% vs. 21.3%) in ultrasound group were all better than X-ray group ( P<0.05). For ELBWI, the above five indexes in the ultrasound group were better than the X-ray subgroup ( P<0.05). For VLBWI, only the catheterization procedure duration and first-time success rate were better in the ultrasound group than the X-ray group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided PICC catheterization in VLBWI/ELBWI is convenient and accurate, which can improve success rate, reduce radiation exposure and repeated catheterization injury. Timely tracking and adjustment of the catheter under ultrasound can reduce complications after catheterization. This technique is worth popularizing among VLBWI/ELBWI.
