Clinical Records

Analysis of the clinical records of 163 patients with primary liver carcinoma was performed to identify factors affecting prognosis. The overall 3-year survival rate was 10%, and the median survival was 7.8 months. Survival was similar for patients with single or multiple tumor nodules. There was no significant association between nodule size of 3 cm or larger and survival. Patients who underwent resection had a longer survival. For patients without cirrhosis, location of the tumor in the left lobe regardless of whether it is resected appears to be a prognostic factor associated with prolonged survival. Female sex and the absence of cirrhosis were also associated with longer survival.

Objective This study was performed to explore the relationship between various clinical factors and the prognosis of limb osteosarcoma. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 336 patients with limb osteosarcoma treated from June 2000 to August 2016 at 7 Chinese cancer centers. Data on the patients’ clinical condition, treatment method, complications, recurrences, metastasis, and prognosis were collected and analyzed. Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox regression models were used to analyze the data. Results The patients comprised 204 males and 132 females ranging in age from 6 to 74 years (average, 21.1 years). The overall 3- and 5-year survival rates were 65.0% and 55.0%, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rate was 64.0% with standard chemotherapy and 45.6% with non-standard chemotherapy. Cox regression analysis demonstrated that standard chemotherapy, surgery, recurrence, and metastasis were independent factors associated with the prognosis of limb osteosarcoma. Conclusion The survival of patients with limb osteosarcoma can be significantly improved by combining standard chemotherapy and surgery. The overall survival rate can also be improved by adding methotrexate to doxorubicin–cisplatin–ifosfamide triple chemotherapy.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Recurrence of thymoma is described in 10–30% of cases after surgical resection. Iterative surgery for thymoma pleural relapses (TPRs) is often part of a multimodal treatment. Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) following macroscopic radical surgery is an option that combines the effects of mild hyperthermia with those of chemotherapeutic agents. We evaluated the effectiveness of surgery + HITHOC, compared with surgery alone, in the treatment of TPR. METHODS We retrospectively collected data of all patients who underwent surgery for TPR in our centre from 2005 to 2017. Relapses were treated by partial pleurectomy with radical intent, followed by HITHOC when not contraindicated. Patients were divided into 2 groups: surgery + HITHOC and surgery alone. We collected demographic and clinical data and analysed postoperative results together with oncological outcomes. RESULTS Forty patients (27: surgery + HITHOC, 13: surgery alone), mean age 49.8 (±13.7) years, were included in this study. There were no perioperative deaths. We experienced 33.3% perioperative morbidity in the surgery + HITHOC group compared with 23.1% in the surgery alone group (P = 0.71). The overall survival rate was comparable between the 2 groups (P = 0.139), whereas the local disease-free interval was 88.0 ± 15 months in the surgery + HITHOC group and 57 ± 19.5 months in the surgery alone group (P = 0.046). The analysis of factors affecting the outcomes revealed that radical surgery is related with a better survival rate whereas the local disease-free interval was significantly influenced by HITHOC. CONCLUSIONS The safety and feasibility of HITHOC in the treatment of TPR are already known, even if it should be reserved for selected patients. Surgery + HITHOC seems to be associated with a longer local disease-free time compared to surgery alone.

Factors affecting abandonment and adoption of young have been studied extensively in waterfowl. Several hypotheses have been advanced to account for these behaviours, and Bustnes and Erikstad (J.O. Bustnes and K.E. Erikstad. 1991. Can. J. Zool. 69: 1538–1545) recently evaluated these in common eiders (Somateria mollissima). They found, among other things, that young of "abandoners" had a lower survival rate than young of "tenders," but were not able to accurately time the mortality of ducklings. I propose a hypothesis based on brood success and parental investment theory to explain why some parents abandon their young exceptionally early and why some parents tend their own as well as foreign young. According to the hypothesis, parents provide relatively less care for offspring that are surviving less than average during the parental care period. The low survival of the young of abandoners while they are still with their own mother may have influenced the final decision of common eider females to abandon their broods early.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of recurrence and the risk factors for recurrence in patients who were diagnosed with venous thromboembolism. Methods: Between January 2005 and January 2015, a total of 412 venous thromboembolism patients (164 males, 248 females; mean age: 53.5±16.6 years; range: 19 to 95 years) were retrospectively analyzed. The demographics, underlying risk factors, comorbidities, imaging findings, and treatment data of the patients were recorded. Results: At least one transient/permanent risk factor was found in 341 (82.7%) of the index events, and the other 71 (17.2%) were idiopathic. Recurrence developed in 76 (18.4%) of the patients. The duration of the treatment in the first event was significantly longer in recurrent cases (p=0.007). The recurrence rate in patients diagnosed with only deep vein thrombosis or patients diagnosed with pulmonary thromboembolism + deep vein thrombosis was significantly higher than the patients diagnosed with only pulmonary thromboembolism (24% vs. 14.2%, respectively; p=0.007). The rate of idiopathic venous thromboembolism was higher in recurrent cases than in non-recurrent cases (26.3% vs. 15.2%, respectively; p=0.028). At the end of the first year, the mean D-dimer levels were higher in recurrent cases (p=0.034). Hereditary risk factors were also higher in recurrent cases (39.5% vs. 19.3%, respectively; p=0.031). There was no significant correlation between recurrence and mortality. Conclusion: The presence of deep vein thrombosis, idiopathic events, high D-dimer levels at the end of the first year and hereditary risk factors seem to be associated with recurrence.

The article provides material on determining the influence of some technological factors and the genotype of pigs in the main herd on the reproductive qualities of sows. Analysis of the breeding campaign in IC 2 "Mirny" LLC "Bashkir Meat Company" for 2017-2019. showed that the number of cases during the analyzed period increased by 1.6%, incl. for the main queens - by 10.3%, and for the checked ones, on the contrary, decreased by 21.3%. In general, analyzing the productivity of the broodstock of SK 2 "Mirny" LLC "Bashkir Meat Company", it can be noted that in 2019 12256 farrows were received, of which 79.7% - from the main queens and 20.3% - from the checked sows. The average fertility of queens for the breeds raised was 15.0 heads, incl. in the main queens - 15.4 heads, in the tested queens - 13.4 heads. The greatest multiple (16.1 heads) was revealed in purebred breeding of the Yorkshire breed. The average large-sized piglets in the complex is 1.38 kg, the survival rate for weaning is 93.1%, and the yield of business piglets is 13.6 heads. It has been established that the reproductive qualities of sows are relatively stable throughout the year, which is associated with the maintenance of an optimal microclimate in the livestock premises of the pig complex. When receiving marketable fattening young stock, preference should be given to parental genotypes YxJ, YxL.

Abstract Background To analyze the factors affecting prognosis of hepatoblastoma (HB) with lung metastasis in children.Patients and Methods: 98 HB patients with lung metastases admitted to Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University were collected and analysed.Results 64 patients had lung metastases at diagnosis (median age, 22.3 months). 34 patients developed lung metastases whilst on treatment (median time, 6.5 months). The time of diagnosis of lung metastasis in patients with HB did not significantly affect survival time or 3-year survival rate (P = 0.37). The survival time and 5-year survival rate of patients with standard treatment was significantly longer than that of without standard treatment (P < 0.001). The survival time and 3-year survival rate of patients with lung metastasis alone or underwent lung metastasectomy was significantly longer than that of patients with extrapulmonary involvement or without lung metastasectomy (P = 0.007, P = 0.099). Lung metastasis accompanied with extrapulmonary involvement was risk factors affecting prognosis (HR = 0.460, 95% CI 0.239–0.888).Conclusions The overall prognosis of HB with lung metastasis in children was poor, and the prognosis of patients with lung metastasis alone was better than those with extrapulmonary involvement. Standardized treatment and resection of lung tumor may prolong the survival of HB patients with lung metastasis.
