Objective:To summarize the clinical experience of treating patients with severe acute organic fluorine poisoning using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).Methods:In January 2021, an acute mass organic fluorine gas poisoning incident occurred in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province. The clinical data of 4 severe patients with acute poisoning of organic fluorine treated by ECMO in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and the epidemiological characteristics, clinical symptoms, signs, the abnormal laboratory studies/examinations, and treatments of this kind poisoning patients, especially, the treatment pattern, support time, complications, and outcomes of ECMO were collected and analyzed.Results:All the 4 patients were male, with an average age of (52±9) years, and all of them came to the emergency department complaining chest tightness, cough and pharyngeal discomfort 6 h after exposure by inhalation. The patient’s condition progressed rapidly with severe acute respiratory failure and circulatory failure as the prominent manifestations. The mechanical ventilations were performed (13.0±4.8) h after poisoning, and ECMO treatment was performed (15.5±5.3) h after poisoning. Among them, 2 patients were treated using venoarterial (VA) ECMO, and 2 patients using venovenous (VV) ECMO, but 1 patient was converted to VA-ECMO 8 h later. The duration of ECMO support for the patients was (8.8±3.6) d. The duration of mechanical ventilation was (23.0±28.7) d and stay in intensive care unit was (42.0±55.4) d. Among them, one patient was transferred to a specialized rehabilitation hospital after the amputation surgery due to lower limb necrosis after VA-ECMO support, and the remaining 3 patients were discharged after recovery.Conclusions:ECMO support might have the irreplaceable value in the treatment of patients with severe acute organic fluorine poisoning, and should be considered as one of the reserves of regional health care system in dealing with public health emergencies.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of concurrent and asynchronous radiochemotheray for early extranodal nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL).Methods:From 2007 to 2020, 278 patients with early NKTCL treated with comprehensive treatment in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guizhou Medical University were recruited. According to the adjusted Nomogram-revised risk index (NRI) prognostic model, there were 49 cases in the good prognostic group without adverse prognostic factors (age>60 years old, increased serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), ECOG score ≥2, primary tumor invasion (PTI), Ann Arbor stage Ⅱ, and 229 cases in the poor prognostic group with any adverse prognostic factors. 145 of these cases were treated with concurrent radiochemotherapy, and 133 of them were treated with asynchronous radiochemotherapy.Results:The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of the whole group was 71.0%, and the progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 67.6%. The 5-year OS rate in the good prognostic group was 95.6%, and 65.4% in the poor prognostic group ( P<0.001). In the poor prognostic group, the 5-year OS rates of patients with NRI=1(low-and moderate-risk group), NRI=2(moderate-and high-risk group), NRI≥3(high-risk group) were 72.1%, 61.1% and 47.7%, respectively ( P=0.007). There was no significant difference in curative effect between the concurrent and asynchronous radiochemotherapy groups. The 5-year OS rates were 70.6% and 69.8%( P=0.783), and the 5-year PFS rates were 67.6% and 65.2%( P=0.631). Further stratified analysis showed that the 5-year OS rates of patients with NRI=1 receiving concurrent and asynchronous radiochemotherapy were 73.1% and 76.5%( P=0.576), 62.6% and 69.3%( P=0.427) for those with NRI=2, and 58.1% and 42.3% for those with NRI≥3( P=0.954). Conclusions:Comprehensive treatment can significantly improve the prognosis of early NKTCL in the poor prognostic group. In the sequence of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, there is no significant difference in 5-year OS and PFS rates between concurrent and asynchronous radiochemotherapy. Sequential treatment with better tolerance can be adopted for early NKTCL with poor prognosis.

Objective:
To evaluate the caries preventive effect and economic outcome of an oral health promotion model in rural primary schools in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Methods:
In November 2015, a baseline survey was conducted on the caries prevalence of rural first graders in program areas, and then a program intervention was carried out on the first graders of target primary schools. The intervention methods included the distribution of oral health care products, oral health education, teacher training, etc. In 2020, the method of cluster random sampling was adopted to include the sixth graders who received the program intervention as first graders and were still available in 2020 as the intervention group. During this period, the sixth graders transferred from foreign schools who failed to receive the program intervention as first graders were included in the non-intervention group. The caries preventive effect was evaluated by analyzing the caries epidemiological data of 2 652 children aged 11-13 years, comparing the intervention and non-intervention group. The cost of the program was estimated by the structural analysis method. A decision tree model was established by TreeAge pro2019 and incorporated into the effect parameters and cost parameters for cost-effectiveness analysis and sensitivity analysis.
Results :
The prevalence of caries in the intervention group was 54.8%, and the mean DMFT was 1.36 ± 1.64, both of which were lower than those in the non-intervention group. The difference in prevalence and mean DMFT between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). It costs CNY 319.83 per child to reduce suffering from caries. The number of patients with caries in the intervention group was the most sensitive indicator of an economic effect. The probability of a cost-effectiveness advantage for the program was 92.2%.
Conclusion
This oral health promotion model used in rural schools demonstrated a caries preventive effect that was very likely economically advantageous. It is of practical significance to improve and promote this model in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and prognostic factors of radiotherapy combined with asparaginase/peaspartase-based chemotherapy regimen in the treatment of early stage extranodal natural-killer/T cell lymphoma of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT ENKTCL).Methods:267 early stage UADT ENKTCL patients were treated in Guizhou Cancer Hospital from October 2003 to February 2020. Among them, 229 patients received radiotherapy or radiotherapy combined with menpartaminase/permenidase-based chemotherapy regimen and 38 patients were treated with radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated by Kaplan- Meier method, log-rank test was conducted for univariate analysis and Cox regression model was performed for multivariate analysis. Results:The 5-year OS and PFS were 67.2% and 61.5% in all patients. The 5-year OS and PFS in patients treated with radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy alone and chemotherapy alone were 71.7%, 35% and 49%(all P<0.001), and 66.4%, 35% and 28%(all P<0.001), respectively. According to the NRI risk stratification, 246 patients treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy were divided into the favourable and the unfavourable prognosis groups. The 5-year OS was 93.3% and 64.3%( P<0.001) and the 5-year PFS was 91.1% and 56.7%( P<0.001) in two groups. For patients receiving radiotherapy with a dose ≥50 Gy and<50 Gy, the 5-year OS was 72.4% and 55.7%( P<0.001), and the 5-year PFS was 68.3%, and 36.5%( P<0.001). In the unfavourable prognosis group, the 5-year OS of patients receiving ≥ 4 and<4 cycles of chemotherapy was 65.5% and 59.2%( P=0.049), and the 5-year PFS was 60.7% and 50.6%( P=0.018). Univariate analysis showed that stage Ⅱ, ECOG≥2, primary tumor invasion, radiotherapy alone, NRI≥1(Nomogram-revised risk index), EBV-DNA≥2 750 copies/ml, radiotherapy dose < 50 Gy, and<4 cycles of chemotherapy were associated with unfavorable 5-year OS and PFS (all P<0.05), and CHOP-like regimen was the risk factor of unfavorable 5-year PFS ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that primary tumor invasion, ECOG≥2, and radiotherapy dose <50 Gy were associated with unfavorable OS and PFS (all P<0.05), and stage Ⅱ was the risk factor of unfavorable 5-year OS ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The prognosis of early stage low-risk UADT ENKTCL of is favourable. Sufficient dose of extended involved-field radiotherapy is an important curative modality in early stage UADT ENKTCL. Compared with radiotherapy alone, radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy can significantly improve the prognosis of early stage UADT ENKTCL patients in the unfavourable prognosis group. Full-course chemotherapy can significantly prolong the long-term survival in the unfavorable prognosis group. The chemotherapy containing asparaginase can significantly enhance the prognosis of patients with early stage UADT ENKTCL.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and prognostic factors of induced chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy in the treatment of early stage extranodal natural-killer/T cell lymphoma (ENKTCL).Methods:Two hundred and eighty-seven early stage NKTCL patients were treated in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from October 2003 to October 2021. All patients were aD ministrated with short courses of induced chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy. Clinical prognostic factors of early stage NKTCL were analyzed. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated by Kaplan- Meier method, log-rank test was conducted for univariate analysis and Cox models were performed for multivariate analysis. Results:The 5-year OS and PFS were 72.8% and 68.9% in all patients. According to Nomogram risk index (NRI) prognostic model, 286 patients were divided into the low risk (NRI=0), intermediate low risk (NRI=1), intermediate high risk (NRI=2), high risk (NRI=3) and very high risk (NRI≥4) groups. In these 5 groups, the 5-year OS were 95.6%, 76.3%, 69.5%, 61.0% and 23.3%(all P<0.001), and the 5-year PFS were 93, 2%, 69.8%, 64.6%, 60.2% and 23.3%(all P<0.001), respectively. In the radiotherapy with a dose of ≥50 Gy and<50 Gy groups, the 5-year OS were 73.8% and 65.9%( P=0.123) and the 5-year PFS were 72.8% and 45.3%( P=0.001). According to the response to induced chemotherapy of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD), the 5-year OS were 85.4%, 74.0%, 61.8% and 28.5%(all P<0.001), and the 5-year PFS were 83.7%, 66.8%, 65.7% and 27.4%(all P<0.001), respectively. Univariate analyses showed that stage Ⅱ, ECOG≥2, primary tumor invasion, radiotherapy dose<50 Gy and short-term efficacy of induced chemotherapy were poor prognostic factors for the 5-year OS and PFS (all P<0.05). Multivariate analyses demonstrated that primary tumor invasion, ECOG≥2 and stage Ⅱ were poor prognostic factors for OS (all P<0.05), and primary tumor invasion and ECOG≥2 were poor prognostic factors for PFS (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Early stage NKTCL patients can obtain high efficacy after induced chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy. Complete response to induced chemotherapy is associated with favorable prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the value of serum programmed cell death molecule 5 (PDCD5) protein expression in early prediction of gastric cancer and its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 103 patients with gastric cancer who were treated in Yuechi County People′s Hospital in Sichuan Province from March 2014 to March 2016 and 80 healthy people who underwent physical examinations (control group) in the same period were selected as subjects. The serum level of PDCD5 protein were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The diagnostic performance of serum PDCD5 protein on gastric cancer was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve. The patients with gastric cancer were divided into low-level group (50 cases) and high-level group (53 cases) according to serum PDCD5 protein level. The relationship between serum PDCD5 protein level and clinical data in patients with gastric cancer was analyzed by χ2 test. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to analyze independent risk factors for survival and prognosis of gastric cancer. Kaplan-Meier method was used to map survival curves of gastric cancer patients with different levels of serum PDCD5 protein. Results:Serum PDCD5 protein level in gastric cancer group was significantly lower than that in control group: (0.82 ± 0.30) mg/L vs. (1.26 ± 0.39) mg/L, and there was statistical difference ( t=8.628, P<0.01). Serum PDCD5 protein level in patients with gastric cancer was related to tumor TNM stage and tumor invasion ( P<0.05), but not related to gender, age, body mass index (BMI), tumor size, lymph node metastasis, tumor type and tumor differentiation ( P<0.05). The area under curve (AUC) of serum PDCD5 protein in the diagnosis of gastric cancer was 0.810 (95% CI 0.747 to 0.873), with a sensitivity of 71.8%, and a specificity of 76.3% ( Z=9.641, P<0.01). Serum PDCD5 protein level was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer ( P<0.05). The 5-year survival rate in low-level group was significantly lower than that in high-level group: 32.0% vs. 62.3%, and there was statistical difference ( χ2=18.422, P<0.01). Conclusions:The serum PDCD5 protein level in patients with gastric cancer is significantly decreased. Low serum PDCD5 protein level is independent risk factors for poor prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between adenosine diphosphate (ADP) pathway-induced platelet dysfunction monitoring by thrombelastography with hospital mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury.Methods:The clinical data of 180 patients with traumatic brain injury in Zhejiang Quhua Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients underwent thrombelastography examination. Among them, the ADP pathway-induced platelet inhibition rate (ADP inhibition rate) ≤ 60% was in 74 cases (non-ADP dysfunction group), and ADP inhibition rate > 60% was in 106 cases (ADP dysfunction group). Multiple Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of patients′ hospital mortality. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the threshold of ADP inhibition rate to predict hospital mortality.Results:There were no statistical differences in the gender composition, age, prothrombin time, international standardized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, platelet count, systolic blood pressure, pulse, admission to thrombelastography examination time, Glasgow coma score, trauma severity score, simple trauma grading criteria and using of antiplatelet drugs before admission between 2 groups ( P>0.05). The intubation rate and in-hospital mortality in ADP dysfunction group were significantly higher than those in non-ADP dysfunction group: 69.8% (74/106) vs. 37.8% (28/74) and 32.1% (34/106) vs. 8.1% (6/74), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). The maximum amplitude and G value in ADP dysfunction group were significantly lower than those in non-ADP dysfunction group: (61 ± 9) mm vs. (65 ± 6) mm and (9 ± 4) kD/cm2 vs. (11 ± 3) kD/cm2, the ADP inhibition rate and arachidonic acid pathway-induced platelet inhibition rate were significantly higher than those in non-ADP dysfunction group: (76 ± 22)% vs. (45 ± 18)% and (75 ± 28)% vs. (35 ± 22)%, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistical difference in the reaction time, blood clot formation time and angle between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis result showed that ADP inhibition rate >60% and trauma severity score were independent predictors of increased hospital mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury ( OR = 6.21 and 1.13, 95% CI 1.21 to 31.27 and 1.05 to 1.22, P<0.05). Logistic regression model analysis result showed that ADP inhibition rate >60% was the threshold for predicting the hospital mortality rate ( OR = 6.18, 95% CI 1.2 to 33.3). Conclusions:ADP inhibition rate of thrombelastography is related to the hospital mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus open surgery for palliative resection of the primary tumor in stage IV colorectal cancer.Methods:The databases of CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library were searched to retrieve randomized controlled trials (RCT) or clinical controlled trials (CCT) comparing laparoscopic surgery with open surgery for palliative resection of the primary tumor in stage IV colorectal cancer published from January 1991 to May 2019. Chinese search terms included "colorectum/colon/rectum" , "cancer/malignant tumor" , "laparoscopy" , "metastasis" , " IV" ; English search terms included "laparoscop*" , "colo*" , "rect*" , "cancer/tumor/carcinoma/neoplasm" , " IV" , "metasta*" . Inclusion criteria: (1) RCT or CCT, with or without allocation concealment or blinding; (2) patients with stage IV colorectal cancer that was diagnosed preoperatively and would receive resection of the primary tumor; (3) the primary tumor that was palliatively resected by laparoscopic or open procedure. Exclusion criteria: (1) no valid data available in the literature; (2) single study sample size ≤20; (3) subjects with colorectal benign disease; (4) metastatic resection or lymph node dissection was performed intraoperatively in an attempt to perform radical surgery; (5) duplicate publication of the literature. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the included studies. In case of disagreement, the evaluation was performed by discussion or a third researcher was invited to participate. The data were extracted from the included studies, and the Cochrane Collaboration RevMan 5.1.0 version software was used for this meta-analysis.Results:Four CCTs with a total of 864 patients were included in this study, including 216 patients in the laparoscopic group and 648 patients in the open group. Compared with the open group, except for longer operation time (WMD=37.60, 95% CI: 26.11 to 49.08, P<0.05), laparoscopic group had less intraoperative blood loss (WMD=-74.89, 95% CI: -144.78 to -5.00, P<0.05), earlier first flatus and food intake after surgery (WMD=-1.00, 95% CI: -1.12 to -0.87, P<0.05; WMD=-1.61, 95%CI: -2.16 to -1.06, P<0.05), shorter hospital stay (WMD=-2.01, 95% CI: -2.21 to -1.80, P<0.05) and lower morbidity of postoperative complication (OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.35 to 0.77, P<0.05). However, no significant differences were found in time to start postoperative chemotherapy, postoperative chemotherapy rate, and mortality ( P > all 0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic surgery for palliative resection of the primary tumor is safe and feasible to enhance recovery after surgery by promoting postoperative bowel function recovery, shortening hospital stay and reducing postoperative complication in stage IV colorectal cancer.
