Gastric cancer(GC)is one of the most common malignant tumors,and most GC patients in China are diagnosed as progressive GC at their first visit and late stage patients fail to have surgical treatment.The effects of conventional treatments,including chemotherapy,radiotherapy and targeted therapy,are limited and may induce poor prognosis.As a new treatment in hematological malignancy,chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)-T cell(CAR-T)immunotherapy is indicated as a promising treatment for advanced GC,which paves a new way for the GC immunotherapy.However,there are still some obstacles to overcome,such as the heterogeneity of GC,immunosuppression of tumor microenvironment,tumor target antigen escape and off-target toxicity.In this review,the CAR structure,therapeutic principle of CAR-T,and the main targets and treatment status of CAR-T immunotherapy for advanced GC are reviewed;the challenges faced by CAR-T immunotherapy in GC are discussed,so as to provide new ideas for the clinical immunotherapy of advanced GC.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and predictive factors of SSc associated heart disease.Methods:The clinical data of patients with SSc from January 2016 to December 2021 in Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital were collected. Aight healthy controls come from the medicial examination center. They were divided into a positive group and a negative group based on whether heart involvement was present or not. The clinical manifestations of the two groups were compared by t test, Wilcoxon signed rank test and χ2 test and Logistic regression or ROC curve was used to analyze the prognostic risk of SSc associated heart disease. Then the transcriptome sequencing was used to analyze the differential gene expression. Results:①A total of 75 SSc patients were treated in our hospital, of which 6 patients with overlap syndrome and 1 patient with congenital heart disease were excluded. The clinical data of 68 patients were analyzed including 16 patients in the positive group and 52 patients in the negative group. Among the 16 patients with cardiac involvement, 12 patients (75.0%) had abnormal electrocardiogram, 9 patients (56.2%) with heart valve disease, 8 patients (50.0%) with abnormal cardiac structure and 8 patients (50.0%) with pericardial effusion. The biomarkers were elevated in 10 cases (83.3%). ②Univariate analysis showed that the positive group had a longer course of disease [120(11.2, 132) months vs 48(24, 90)months, Z=-2.08, P=0.037], and the rate of pulmonary arterial hypertension (50.0% vs 11.5%, χ2=11.07, P<0.001) and renal insufficiency(50.0% vs 3.8%, χ2=20.78, P<0.001) in the positive group were significantly higher than those in the negative group. Further Logistic regression analysis revealed that long course of disease [ OR (95% CI) =1.011 (1.001, 1.021), P=0.031], pulmonary arterial hypertension [ OR (95% CI) =5.431, 95% CI (1.065, 27.710), P=0.042] and renal insufficiency [ OR (95% CI) =30.444 (4.139, 223.938), P<0.001] were risk factors for SSc associated heart disease. ③Nail-fold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) was checked in 63 patients. The difference of abnormal NVC changes between the two groups was statistically significant (93.3% vs 58.3%, χ2=5.87, P=0.013). The total number of capillaries in the positive group was significantly less than that in the negative group [3.5(2, 4.8) vs 6 (5, 7), Z=-2.97, P=0.003]. Further ROC curve analysis showed that the total number of capillaries less than 4.5 predicted the occurrence of cardiac involvement (sensitivity was 80.0%, specificity was 83.8%), and the area under the ROC curve (95% CI) was 0.805 (0.061, 1.000, P=0.003).④The transcriptome of a total of 11 SSc patients (including 6 in the positive group and 5 in the negative group) and 8 healthy controls were analyzed to obtain the synchronously down regulated gene TNFRSF13B. The differences between the three groups were statistically significant ( χ2=11.88, P=0.003), especially in the positive group and the healthy controls( χ2=11.19, P=0.004). Conclusion:SSc patients with long course of disease accompanied by PAH and renal insufficiency are prone to have heart involvement. Early capillary endoscopy is also helpful to predict the risk of heart involvement. Moreover, TNFRSF13B genetic testing is helpful but further study is needed.

Objective:To analyze the time needed for active breathing coordinator (ABC) coaching in tumor patients, and to explore the influencing factors of coaching time.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 93 patients who received ABC treatment led by the same staff at the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from September 2019 to April 2021. The effects of education level, body mass index (BMI), age, gender and disease type on the couching time were analyzed. The coaching time was expressed as Mean ± SD. Independent sample t-test or rank sum test was used for comparison between different groups. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Statistical significance was observed in the effect of education level, BMI and age on coaching time. The coaching time in the higher education group was (9.74±3.80) min, significantly shorter than the (13.79±6.03) min ( P=0.001) of the primary education group and the (13.03±5.14) min ( P=0.021) of the middle education group. The couching time in the BMI<24 kg/m 2 group was (10.27±3.98) min, significantly shorter compared with (12.74±5.60) min ( P<0.001) in the BMI≥24 kg/m 2 group. The coaching time in the ≥60 years old group was (14.12±5.06) min, significantly longer than the (9.86±3.76) min ( P=0.002) of the ≤40 years old group and the (11.30±5.10) min ( P=0.021) of the 40-60 years old group. No significant differences were noted in the effect of gender, disease type and tumor staging on the coaching time. The coaching time in males and females was (13.54±5.89) and (10.94±4.61) min, respectively ( P=0.071). The coaching time of patients with breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, mediastinal lymphoma and pancreatic cancer was (10.75±4.72), (15.30±5.57), (11.69±4.96), (9.86±3.61) and (12.15±0.07) min, respectively ( P=0.071). The coaching time of stageⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ patients was (10.35±4.37), (11.88±5.30), (9.52±2.51) and (14.32±5.27) min ( P=0.060). Conclusions:Patients with higher education level and BMI<24 kg/m 2 require less ABC coaching time. Patients aged≥60 years require longer coaching time. Gender, disease type and clinical stage exert no significant effect on the duration of coaching.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of pancreaticoduodenectomy with TRIANGLE operation in the treatment of pancreatic head cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 51 patients with pancreatic head cancer who were admitted to the Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of School of Medicine of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China from January 2017 to July 2018 were collected. There were 33 males and 18 females, aged from 42 to 74 years, with a median age of 56 years. Of the 51 patients, 24 cases undergoing standard pancreaticoduodenectomy, in which No.12, 13 and 17 lymph nodes were dissected, combined with transcatheter arterial infusion chemo-therapy (TAI) were allocated into the standard group, and 27 cases undergoing pancreaticoduo-denectomy with TRIANGLE operation, in which No.7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 17 lymph nodes were dissected, combined with TAI were allocated into the TRIANGLE group, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative conditions of the two groups; (2) postoperative conditions of the two groups; (3) follow-up and survival. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination and telephone interview once three months to detect tumor recurrence and metastasis and survival of patients up to July 2021 or the death of patient. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or the Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the rank sum test. Kaplan‐Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate and median survival time and draw survival curve. Log‐Rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Comparison of intraoperative conditions between the two groups. The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, cases with intraoperative blood transfusion were (501±61)minutes, (563±278)mL, 4 in the standard group, versus (556±46)minutes, (489±234)mL, 6 in the TRIANGLE group, respectively. There was a significant difference in the operation time between the two groups ( t=3.62, P<0.05) but there was no significant difference in the volume of intraoperative blood loss or cases with intraoperative blood transfusion between the two groups ( t=1.03, χ2=0.25, P>0.05). (2) Comparison of postoperative conditions between the two groups. Of the 51 patients, 30 had 50 times of postoperative complications, including 18 times of grade Ⅰ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, 29 times of grade Ⅱ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, 2 times of grade Ⅲa complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, 1 time of grade Ⅲb complications of Clavien-Dindo classification, respectively. Cases with postoperative complications, cases with delayed gastric emptying, cases without or with pancreatic fistula as class A or class B, cases with biliary fistula, cases with bleeding, cases with diarrhea were 15, 4, 13, 7, 4, 4, 2, 2 in the standard group, versus 15, 6, 14, 10, 3, 4, 1, 3 in the TRIANGLE group, respectively. There was no significant difference in cases with postoperative complications, cases with delayed gastric emptying, cases with pancreatic fistula between the two groups ( χ2=0.16, 0.02, Z=-0.04, P>0.05) and there was no significant difference in cases with biliary fistula, cases with bleeding, cases with diarrhea between the two groups ( P>0.05). Cases with complications as Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ, grade Ⅱ, grade Ⅲ were 10, 11, 2 in the standard group, versus 8, 18, 1 in the TRIANGLE group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( Z=-0.67, P>0.05). The duration of postoperative hospital stay was (23±8)days in both of the standard group and the TRIANGLE group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( t=0.31, P>0.05). (3) Follow-up and survival. All the 51 patients were followed-up for 6 to 54 months, with a median follow-up time of 17 months. The postoperative 1-year overall survival rate was 75.0% and 81.5% in the standard group and the TRIANGLE group, respectively. The postoperative 3-year overall survival rate was 12.5% and 22.2% in the standard group and the TRIANGLE group, respectively. The median postoperative survival time was 15.00 months (95% confidence interval as 12.63 to 17.37 months) and 21.00 months (95% confidence interval as 15.91 to 19.62 months) in the standard group and the TRIANGLE group, respectively. There was a significant difference in survival of patients between the two groups ( χ2=4.30, P<0.05). Cases with tumor recurrence during post-operative 1 year and 3 year were 9 and 20 in the standard group, versus 6 and 15 in the TRIANGLE group, respectively. There was no significant difference in cases with tumor recurrence during postoperative 1 year between the two groups ( P>0.05) and there was a significant difference in cases with tumor recurrence during postoperative 3 year between the two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with standard pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy with TRIANGLE operation can prolong the median survival time of patients with pancreatic head cancer without increasing surgical related complications.

Objective:To analyze the duration of each phase of Unity MR-linac in clinical application, aiming to provide reference for clinical optimization of the process time.Methods:Clinical data of 55 patients treated with Unity MR-linac were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into the adapt to position (ATP) and adapt to shape (ATS) groups according to the planning method. The duration of each phase in the treatment process, the name and the time of each sequence, the number of beams, segments and total monitor units (MUs) were recorded and compared between two groups. In addition, the set-up time was counted according to different treatment sites. The time of each sequence and set-up time were expressed as the median M (Q 1, Q 3), and the number of beams, segments and total MUs of each plan were described as the mean±SD. Results:42 patients underwent ATP with a total of 305 treatment sessions: setup time was 3(2, 5) min, MR scanning time was 5(4, 7) min, registration time was 3(3, 4) min, adaptive planning time was 8(4, 12) min, beam on time was 8(6, 11) min, and the total time was 30(25, 36) min. 13 patients received ATS with a total of 65 treatment sessions: setup time was 2(2, 3) min, MR scanning time was 7(5, 8) min, registration time was 4(3, 5) min, time of delineation of target and organs at risk was 12(9, 16) min, adaptive planning time was 11(10, 14) min, beam on time was 10(9, 11) min and the total time was 55(49, 61) min. The set-up time according to treatment sites was 4(2, 4) min in the head and neck, 2(2, 4) min in the chest, and 3(2, 5) min in the abdomen. The number of fields, segments and total MUs during ATP were 8.1±1.7, 49.9±31.2, 846.75±363.44 in the head and neck, 8.0±2.0, 60.7±13.3, 790.21±279.00 in the chest, and 9.7±2.0, 81.2±22.3, 2007.32±1053.81 in the abdomen, respectively. The number of fields, segments and total MUs during ATS in head and neck of one case were 13, 39, 993.07, and 9.5±1.5, 65.5±6.3, 2763.26±835.41 in the abdomen.Conclusions:MR-guided radiotherapy yields huge potential in clinical application. However, there is still much room for the improvement of shortening the process duration.

Objective:To analyze the trend of smoking prevalence and its risk factors among adults in Shaanxi province from 2007 to 2015.Methods:We used data from China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance in 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2015. The current smoking prevalence and trends of the four surveys were calculated. Its risk factors were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression from each survey and then from all pooled data of the three surveys.Results:The number of participants in 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2015 was 1 542, 3 000, 10 166 and 6 330, respectively. The current smoking prevalence dropped from 34.34 % in 2007 to 26.22 % in 2013, but increased to 28.33 % in 2015 (trend χ2 test: Z=2.53, P=0.01). The results from four pooled data showed that the current smoking prevalence of men was higher than that of women ( OR=75.03, 95 %CI: 63.57-88.55). The current smoking prevalence of people aged 45-59 was higher than that of people aged 18-44 ( OR=1.28, 95 %CI: 1.15-1.41). In addition, the current smoking prevalence of those who were educated for 7-9 years and more than 9 years were higher than those who were educated for less than 6 years (people with education for 7-9 years OR=1.44, 95 %CI: 1.29-1.61; people with education >9 years OR=1.43, 95 %CI: 1.26-1.63). The current smoking prevalence of the single was lower than those of married/cohabitants ( OR=0.54, 95 %CI: 0.37-0.77). The current smoking prevalence of retirees were lower than those of employees ( OR=0.46, 95 %CI: 0.38-0.57) and smoking prevalence of alcohol drinkers were higher than those of non-drinkers ( OR=2.92, 95 %CI: 2.67-3.19). Conclusion:From 2007 to 2015, the current smoking prevalence of Shaanxi population was high and the trends remained stable. It is necessary to strengthen smoking control and health education for men, people over 45 years old, people with education level 7 years and above, and working personnel in Shaanxi province.

Objective To investigate the value of resting energy expenditure (REE) monitoring in nutritional support therapy of critical patients on mechanical ventilation.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted.Sixty critical patients [acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ score (APACHE Ⅱ) ＞ 15] on ventilation admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Dalian Friendship Hospital from September 2016 to October 2018 were enrolled.The enrolled patients were randomly divided into Harris-Benedict formula (HB formula) group and indirect energy measurement (metabolic vehicle) group with 30 patients in each group.The HB formula group was used traditional HB formula to determine the energy supply and ratio of nutritional support therapy,and the metabolic vehicle group was regularly measured the energy supply and proportion of nutritional support therapy.Serum albumin (ALB),total protein (TP),lymphocyte ratio,blood glucose,blood gas analysis parameters and REE value were determined at 3,5,7,9,and 11 days of nutritional support therapy.Results The value of REE at 3 days of nutritional support therapy in metabolic vehicle group was significantly higher than that in HB formula group (kJ/d:7 850.4±947.3 vs.6 915.3±875.7,P ＜ 0.05).With the time of nutritional support treatment prolonged,the REE value of metabolic vehicle group was decreased gradually,and after 7 days,the patient's condition was stable and improved,and the REE value tended to be stable gradually,it was significantly lower than that of HB formula group at 11 days (kJ/d:5 046.3 ± 493.3 vs.6 915.3 ± 875.7,P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in blood gas analysis or plasma protein before nutritional support therapy between the two groups.After 5 days of nutritional support therapy,the respiratory function of critical patients in both groups was improved,and the lymphocyte ratio and plasma protein parameters were alleviated.After 11 days of nutrition support therapy,the respiratory function of critical patients in both groups was further improved,the ventilator model was adjusted to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mode,the lymphocyte ratio and plasma protein parameters were improved,and the skin color and elasticity were improved,the granulation of the wound was fresh and healed well,and the plasma protein level was increased obviously,ALB level in metabolic vehicle group was significantly higher than that in HB formula group (g/L:31.8 ± 2.5 vs.26.7 ± 2.3,P ＜ 0.05).In the metabolic vehicle group,REE value was decreased from the maximum level on the 3rd day (k J/d:7 850.4 ± 947.3) to a stable level after 11 days (k J/d:5 046.3 ± 493.3),and its energy ratio changed significantly,from carbohydrate:fat of 77％ ∶ 21％ with protein consumption gradually transition in the early (3 days) to carbohydrates:fat of 56％ ∶ 44％ without protein consumption in the later stage (11 days),which showed the tendency of energy consumption was reasonable.Conclusion The energy metabolism rule of critical patients on ventilation could be determined by using the accurate metabolic vehicle and dynamic monitoring of REE value,which could be used for the implementation of nutritional support therapy.

Objectives To assess the clinical outcomes,the technical characteristics of percutaneus endoscopic interlaminar decompression for lumbar lateral recess stenosis in elderly patients.Methods From May 2014 to June 2015,76 elderly patients with lumber lateral recess stenosis were accepted percutaneus endoscopic interlaminar decompression,including 48 males and 28 females aged from 60-91 years old (average,71.7:8.8 years).There were 40 patients with stenosis in L45,29 patients with stenosis in L5S1 and 7 patients with stenosis in L4.5 and L5S1.Back and leg pain were assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS).The influence of pain was evaluated by Oswestry disability index (ODI).The change of spinal canal was assessed by lateral recess angle.The MacNab criteria was evaluated at last follow-up.Results All of the 76 operations had been completed successfully with an average operation time of 64.3±23.9 min (range,56-98 min).An average follow-up time was 31.5 months (range,24-36months).There was no operative segment errors and nerve root tear during operation.Dural sac tear in 1 case,2 cases of nerve root injury and 1 case of postoperative kakesthesia,transient seizures after anesthesia occurred in 1 case and 1 case had postoperative delirium.There were significances in lumbocrural pain scores,leg pain scores and ODI scores between preoperation and postoperative 1,3,6,12 month and last follow-up (P＜0.05).In the MacNab last follow-up,the fineness rate was 92.1％,including 52 cases of excellence,18 cases of good,and 6 cases of fair.The latera recess angle between preoperation and postoperation was significantly different.During follow-up period,there were 3 cases developed into lumbar instability.No recurrence,discitis and leakage of cerebrospinal fluid were found,delayed incision healing was found in 1 case.Conclusions Percutaneus endoscopic interlaminar decompression for lumbar lateral recess stenosis in elderly patients is a safe,effective and minimally invasive method of operation with the characteristics of precise decompression of bone stenosis,sufficient resection of ligamentum flavum to decompress soft stenosis,small effect on spinal stability and low complications.

AIM To observe the effects of Shangke Huangshui Gauze (Scutellariae Radix,Coptidis Rhizoma,Phellodendri chinensis Cortex,etc.) on postoperative knee joint pain,swelling degree and functional recovery in patients following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).METHODS Eighty patients receiving TKA and routine care in Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (FHTCM) from 2015.1 to 2016.1 were randomly and equally divided into observation group and control group.The patients in the observation group were given external use of Shangke Huangshui Gauze.The swelling degree,the score of VAS,and the score of HSS in the two groups were compared.RESULTS On the 7th,14th and 30th days after the surgery,the swelling degree in the observation group was lower than that in the control group.On the 7th,14th days,VAS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group.In the 1st,3rd and 6th months after the surgery,patients in the two groups got higher HSS scores,but HSS scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group.All the differences had statistical significances (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION The long-term external use of Shangke Huangshui Gauze can effectively relieve postoperative pain and swelling,and improve knee joint function in patients following TKA.

Objective To observe the influence of early involvement of rehabilitation treadmill on hip function and daily life after total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods Totally 80 patients receiving THA in Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2013 to January 2016 were randomized into a trial group (40 cases) and a control group (40 cases).The control group underwent conventional rehabilitation treatment such as training of muscle strength,joint motion and daily life,and the trial group applied rehabilitation treadmill for early training besides above measures.The two groups were compared on Harris score,Barthel scaore and re-visiting rate at the time points of 1,3 and 6 months after THA.Results Follow-up was carried out for the two groups.Harris scores and Barthel scores of the two groups were significantly enhanced 3 and 6 months after THA (P＜0.05).Harris scores in the trial group were (83.08±2.38) and (88.05±2.54) respectively 3 and 6 months after THA,which were statistically higher than (69.03±2.39) and (74.85±3.39) of the control group.Barthel scores in the trial group were (79.25±3.31) and (90.25+2.25) respectively 3 and 6 months after THA,which were obviously higher than (75.13±3.10) and (84.88±3.84) in the control group.The trial group had the re-visiting rate (17.5％) significantly higher than that (37.5％) in the control group 6 months after THA (P＜0.05).Conclusion Early involvement of rehabilitation treadmill combined with conventional training promotes the recovery of hip function,lower limb muscle strength,walking ability and daily life,while decreases the re-visiting rate of the patient.
