e21605 Background: To observe the clinical efficacy and survival of UMIPIC combined with low-dose chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer. Methods: 840 patients with lung cancer underwent UMIPIC treatment from January 2011 to December 2015 were selected as the study subjects, 341 cases combined with low-dose chemotherapy in group A and 499 cases not combined with chemotherapy in group B. All patients were diagnosed with lung cancer and signed a consent form for treatment. The patients were treated according to the UMIPIC treatment guidelines. This study was mainly to observe the adverse reactions, clinical efficacy, survival time and survival rate of lung cancer patients after receiving UMIPIC combined with or without low dose chemotherapy. Results: The common adverse reactions in group A were fever 38.12%, followed by pain 9.38%, hemoglobin 7.94%, white blood cells 5.01%, nausea 2.35%, liver function damage 1.19%, vomiting 1.17%, and kidney function damage 0.30%; Common adverse reactions in group B were fever 38.68%, followed by pain 13.23%, hemoglobin reduction 12.87%, white blood cell reduction 5.29%, nausea 2.00%, vomiting 2.00%, liver function damage 1.92%. The hemoglobin reduction in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P < 0.05), and there was no difference in the other adverse reactions (P > 0.05). Clinical efficacy of the two groups revealed that the benefit rate of group A was 95.45% higher than that of group B 93.47% (P > 0.05). After follow-up, it was found that the average survival time and median survival time of patients in group A were 20.744 and 13.270 months, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of group B at 19.514 and 10.070 months (P < 0.05). The survival rates of the two groups of patients, The 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year survival rates of group A patients are 52.48%, 23.60%, and 16.95%, and the 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year survival rates of group B patients are 42.96% and 17.07 % And 10.26%, the one-year survival rate of group A was significantly higher than that of group B (P < 0.05). Conclusions: UMIPIC combined with low-dose chemotherapy has a good clinical effect in treating lung cancer without increasing the incidence of adverse reactions, and a significant effect on extending survival time and improving survival rate of lung cancer patients.

PURPOSE Although resection of single brain metastases and postoperative whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) improves survival, compared with treatment using WBRT alone, the value of postoperative WBRT after resection of brain metastases is controversial. We analyzed the largest reported series of lung cancer patients with resected brain metastases to evaluate the impact of postoperative WBRT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 1974 and 1989, 185 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) underwent resection of brain metastases. Patients who had received preoperative WBRT (23%, 42 of 185) were excluded. The remaining patients were divided into group A (no WBRT; n = 32), group B (patients received WBRT and were prognostically matched to group A; n = 32), and group C (all other WBRT patients; n = 79). Most patients received postoperative doses of 30 Gy in 10 fractions. Higher doses were used in 16% of group B and 18% of group C patients. RESULTS Overall 5-year survival rates were as follows: group A, 12%; B, 8%; C, 16%. Overall brain failures occurred in 38% of patients in group A, 47% in group B, and 42% in group C. The use of WBRT (group A v groups B plus C) had no apparent impact on survival or on overall brain failure rates. In particular, no improvement in either of these parameters could be demonstrated when group B was compared with group A. Focal failure (defined as failure within the brain adjacent to the site of the resected brain metastases) occurred as follows: group A, 34% (11 of 32); groups B plus C, 23% (25 of 111) (P = .07). WBRT significantly reduced focal failure for patients with adenocarcinoma (group A, 33% [eight of 24]; groups B plus C, 14% [11 of 79]; P = .05). Nonfocal failure (anatomically distinct from the resected metastasis) occurred in 9% of patients in group A (three of 32), 21% in groups B plus C (23 of 111) (P = .07). CONCLUSION Long-term survival is possible when NSCLC brain metastases are resected. Postoperative WBRT as used in this series only had an impact on the focal control of brain metastases and this effect was of borderline significance. The lack of conclusive benefit supports the need for ongoing randomized trials to test the value of adjuvant postoperative WBRT. Brain failures were relatively common in all three groups of patients, which suggests that doses greater than 30 Gy need to be studied.

Abstract Background: Palliative care is becoming more and more important for systemic cancer treatment in developed countries, while this remains infamous topic in developing countries, such as in China. Contemporary treatment strategies have greatly contributed to the improved outcome in childhood cancer patients, survivorship comes at the cost of developing some treatment-related health condition, such as pain-related depression, chronic pain etc. Thus, developing a well-tolerated pain control methods is of great importance within the cancer treatment. Objective: To evaluate the impact and outcome of different pain control applications on invasive procedure in children with leukemia, and record the adverse reactions. Methods: The enrollment of childhood leukemia patients in our hospital from November 2011 to November 2016 were divided into four groups, that is successively midazolam + local anesthesia (group A), midazolam + ketamine +local anesthesia (group B), midazolam + fentanyl + local anesthesia (group C), and fentanyl + propofol + local anesthesia (group D). The efficacy and adverse reactions were systemically recorded. The inter-group diffferences were calculated using x2 test. Results: No significancewas observed in age, gender, and disease distribution in these four groups by ANOVA ONEWAY analysis. The sedation outcome is more pronunced in group D than others. Also, the quality of procedural pain control in group D was the best (P<0.01). In terms of the analgesic effect, group B and D were better than that group A and C. There was significant difference in Hallucination was more easily detected in group B and C. Systemic recovery was delayed in group B other than group A, C, and D. Basing on the survey, we did found that the family members were more willing to accept pain control treatment for their sick kids under the safety assurance. The compliance was significantly improved in group D. Conclusion: Upon adequate auxiliary breathing preparation and rigorous monitor, propofol combined with low-dose fentanyl was the best sedative/analgesic option for pain control within leukemia patients receiving invasive procedure.The outcome of propofol combined with low-dose fentanyl wasvery safe, satisfactory and compliable. Up to now, this study is the first pain control study for invasive procedure in China mainland, it deserves being paid attention. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

The objective of this study was to observe the clinical effect of Chitosan nanoparticles therapy on Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. Three treatment groups (A, B, and control group C) were randomly assigned with 60 cases of HP each, making 180 cases. Group C received standard triple therapy (omeprazole + amoxicillin + clarithromycin), group A got a routine dose of Chitosan nanoparticles plus triple therapy, and group B got a high dose of Chitosan nanoparticles plus triple therapy. The course of treatment in each group was 7 days. The eradication rate, clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were observed. Up to 172 patients finished the experiment, with 59 patients in Group A, 57 in Group B and 56 in Group C. In a total analysis set (FAS), the eradication rates of HP in Group A, Group B and Group C were 80.00%, 80.70%, and 71.67%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). In accordance with the PPS, the HP eradication rates of group A, B, and C were 81.36%, 80.70% and 76.79%, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The clinical efficacy of group A, B, and C were 91.67%, 91.23%, and 70.00%, respectively. The differences among the three groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). In accordance with the PPS, the clinical efficacy of group A, B and C was 93.22%, 91.23%, and 75.00%, respectively. With a P-value of less than 0.05, the results indicated that the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. There were 21 adverse reactions in the experiment, including 3 in group A, 6 in group B, and 12 in group C. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05) between group A and B compared with group C, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); the difference between group A and group B was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In conclusion the therapeutic effect of Chitosan nanoparticles and oral liquid, combined with triple therapy on HP infection is satisfactory, with less adverse reactions are. However, the findings suggest that it is not desirable to use a high dose Chitosan nanoparticles and oral liquid.

Purpose. To evaluate the results and quality of life of patients with resistant of castration-resistant tumors previously treated with Insulin-potentiation therapy (IPT) combined with hormone therapy. Materials and methods. Sixteen patients with metastasis prostate tumors after bilateral castration, androgenic blockade, and progression of the disease were observed during the study. The patients were divided into two groups: group A consisting of 8 patients treated with low-dose chemotherapy Epirubicin, Vinblastine, and Cyclophosphamide combined with LHRH agonist and group B consisting of another 8 patients treated with low-dose chemotherapy Docetaxel combined with LHRH agonist. Results. The overall (groups A and B) results concerning PSA after the sixth IPT show partial effect in 8 out of 16 (50%) patients, stabilization in 4 out of 16 (25%), and progression in 4 out of 16 (25%). The median survival for all treated patients is 11,7 months (range 3–30 months). During the treatment no significant side effects were observed, and no lethal cases occurred. Conclusion. In spite of the small number of the treated patients with castration-resistant prostate tumors, the preliminary results are promising and this gives us hope and expectations for future serious multicenter research over the possibilities for routine implementation of IPTLD.

Abstract The optimal sequence for administration of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sequential afatinib and osimertinib treatment in patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations. Electronic records of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC, who were administered afatinib and osimertinib (group A) or other chemotherapy (group B) between October 2014 and October 2019, across 16 hospitals in South Korea were reviewed. The primary outcome, time on treatment (TOT), secondary outcome, and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Multivariate analyses were performed using the Cox proportional hazards model. Of the 737 patients who received frontline afatinib treatment, 360 with complete records were selected (group A:154, group B: 206). The median TOT was 33.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 24.5−43.3) in group A and 21.3 months (95% CI: 19.4−23.1) in group B. The median TOT with afatinib was 12.9 months (95% CI: 11.8−14.0) overall, and 15.2 months (95% CI: 13.2−17.1) in group A. The 2- and 3-year survival rates were 86.0% and 69.3% in group A and 75.9% and 55.3% in group B, respectively. Sequential afatinib and osimertinib treatment resulted in better survival rates than treatment with afatinib followed by other chemotherapies. Therefore, this sequential treatment strategy may offer clinical benefits to patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

Background: This study intended to investigate the effects of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) on the incidence of lung cancer in male patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: A total of 1091 male patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital, Hangzhou, China from Jan 2009 to Jan 2012 were selected as the research objects. All patients were followed up from the beginning of hospitalization. According to serum hs-CRP level, patients were divided into two groups: group A (hs-CRP < 1 mg/L) and group B (hs-CRP > 3 mg/L). The relationship between baseline hs-CRP and the risk of lung cancer in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was analyzed by multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model, and the serum levels of hs-CRP between lung cancer patients in all groups and other non-lung cancer patients were compared. Results: There were differences in age, drinking, smoking, diabetes history, body mass index (BMI), thyroglobulin (TG), history of hypertension and hyperglycemia among the three groups (P=0.036, 0.018, 0.040, 0.029, 0.006, 0.034, 0.020, 0.010). The serum levels of hs-CRP in patients with squamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma were significantly higher than those in non-lung cancer patients (P=0.022, 0.043, 0.011). The incidence rates of lung cancer in patients in group B and C were 1.37 and 1.69 times higher than that in group A, respectively. Conclusion: The increased serum level of hs-CRP will increase the incidence rate of lung cancer in male patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Objective. To investigate the effects of arteriovenous thrombolysis combined with mechanical thrombectomy on clinical efficacy, neurological function, and the changes of nerve injury markers of acute cerebral infarct (ACI) patients. Methods. A total of 143 cases with ACI admitted to our hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were elected as research subjects. Among them, 69 cases of patients who received treatment of arteriovenous thrombolysis were considered as group A, and 74 cases of patients who received treatment of arteriovenous thrombolysis combined with mechanical thrombectomy were considered as group B. NIHSS score, clinical efficacy, vascular recanalization, adverse reactions, hemodynamics, neurological injury indexes, duration of coma, length of hospital stay, and prognosis of patients in the two groups were compared. Results. After treatment, the NIHSS score of group A was higher than that of group B (P<0.05), the clinical efficacy of group B was better than that of group A, and the incidence of adverse reactions was lower than that of group A (P<0.05). There was no difference in vascular recanalization rate, duration of coma, and prognosis between the two groups (P>0.05). Length of hospital stay, maximum peak velocity after treatment (Vs), and mean flow rate (Vm) of group A were lower than those of group B, while vascular resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), serum glutamic acid (Glu), neuron-specific enolase (NES), and S100β protein detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of group A were higher than those of group B (P<0.05). Conclusion. Arteriovenous thrombolysis combined with mechanical thrombectomy has a significant effect on ACI, with high safety and quick effect. In addition, it has a stronger effect on improving and protecting the neurological function of patients, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.

Objective. To explore the effect of eye movement training on sleep quality of patients with advanced lung cancer based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Methods. 120 advanced lung cancer patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected as the research object and divided into group A (PSQI scores ≥ 10 points, n = 60) and group B (PSQI < 10 points, n = 60). Routine nursing was performed to both groups, and patients in group A received the eye movement training additionally, so as to compare their PSQI scores, negative emotion scores, adverse reaction rate (ARR), Cancer Coping Modes Questionnaire (CCMQ) scores, and pain scores. Results. After training, group A obtained significantly better sleep quality ( P < 0.05 ), lower negative emotion scores ( P < 0.001 ), lower ARR ( P < 0.05 ), better CCMQ scores ( P < 0.05 ), and lower pain scores ( P < 0.001 ) than group B. Conclusion. Eye movement training should be promoted in practice because it can reduce negative emotions, alleviate pain sensation, improve sleep quality and body condition, and lower the ARR for advanced lung cancer patients.
