SEPT9在结直肠癌早期检测中的研究进展

SEPT9是13个Septin同源基因家族之一，参与调控众多过程，包括细胞分裂、细胞极化、细胞迁移以及线粒体分裂等。研究表明在众多肿瘤中，SEPT9都发挥着作用，尤其在结直肠肿瘤研究领域，外周血SEPT9基因甲基化检测更是研究热点，其检测的敏感度和特异度相对于其他糖蛋白肿瘤标志物、粪便隐血试验和粪便免疫化学测试等更具有优势，相对于结直肠镜等侵入性检查更节约成本，同时有着更好的依从性。本文对SEPT9的功能、与结直肠癌之间的关系以及对结直肠肿瘤的筛查及诊断价值做一综述。     

"Triple Trouble" in A Case of Mass Lesion

Bronchogenic carcinoma, the commonest lung tumor occurs more frequently in the elderly with typical symptoms of cough, haemoptysis, weight loss, dyspnoea or chest pain. These symptoms mimic common respiratory infections in en-demic areas like pulmonary tuberculosis. Also, metastasis at presentation itself is common, the favoured sites being liver, contra-lateral lungs, bones, brain, etc., although unusual and rare sites like heart also are known. We herein report a rare association of both carcinoma with active pulmonary tuberculosis in the same lobe associated with intracardiac metastasis. Very few cases have been published describing lung carcinoma with intracardiac metastasis. We hope the documentation of this rare case will shed further light into the subject area and improve clinical education.     

腹腔镜与开腹全胃切除术治疗Ⅰ期胃癌的近期疗效对比CSCD

目的探讨腹腔镜全胃切除术与传统开腹全胃切除术对Ⅰ期胃癌的近期疗效。方法回顾性分析89例肿瘤位于近端胃的Ⅰ期胃癌,并且行全胃切除术的患者。按照手术方式不同分为腹腔镜组(47例)和开腹组(42例)。通过观察两组患者手术时间、出血量、术后病理相关指标、术后并发症、术后首次进食流质饮食时间及术后住院天数,比较两种手术方式的近期疗效。结果两组患者基线资料对比差异无统计学意义,具有可比性。与开腹组相比,腹腔镜组患者手术时间更长,但术中出血量、术后首次进食流质饮食时间、术后住院天数、术后并发症发生率及并发症等级均低于开腹组(P<0.05)。结论腹腔镜全胃切除术能够在保证Ⅰ期的近端胃癌患者手术安全性的同时,降低患者术中出血量、进食流质饮食时间、术后住院时间及术后并发症。     

生长抑素及其类似物联合质子泵抑制剂应用于急性非静脉曲张性上消化道出血的循证分析

目的 系统评价生长抑素及其类似物联合质子泵抑制剂（proton pump inhibitor，PPI）治疗急性非静脉曲张性上消化道出血（acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding，ANVUGIB）的有效性和安全性，并分析其用药经济性。方法 采用循证医学方法搜集生长抑素及其类似物联合PPI治疗ANVUGIB的RCT、队列研究进行meta分析，得到相应的有效性及安全性分析结果，并进行成本-效果分析。结果 最终纳入6个RCT均未接受内镜治疗，共610例受试者。Meta分析结果显示，生长抑素及其类似物联合高、中、低剂量PPI治疗在以下方面均优于单用高、中、低剂量PPI治疗，差异有统计学意义，总有效率[OR=3.34，95%CI（2.03，5.47），P<0.000 01]、止血时间[MD=-9.04，95%CI（-11.69，-6.38），P<0.000 01]、输血量[MD=-1.10，95%CI（-1.46，-0.74），P<0.000 01]；在不良反应发生率方面，2组差异无统计学意义[OR=0.49，95%CI（0.11，2.12），P=0.34]。ANVUGIB患者予生长抑素联合高、中、低剂量奥美拉唑与单用高、中、低剂量奥美拉唑进行成本-效果分析，增量成本效果比分别为172.28，217.26，330.37，敏感性分析后显示结果稳定。而接受内镜治疗后应用生长抑素及其类似物联合PPI治疗仅1个队列研究，研究结果显示内镜治疗成功后联合治疗并不优于PPI单药治疗。结论 现有证据表明，生长抑素及其类似物联合PPI治疗未经内镜治疗的ANVUGIB患者为较有效的方案，两者安全性相当、耐受性较好，从药品直接成本考虑，高剂量PPI组联合治疗较中、低剂量PPI组联合治疗更具有成本效果性。而对于经内镜下止血治疗的患者两者疗效相当，可考虑单用PPI。     

张立平教授治疗消化道术后胃肠功能紊乱经验

消化道术后胃肠功能紊乱影响着患者们的生活质量。张立平教授认为术后胃肠功能紊乱，证属本虚标实，临床治疗当从调理中焦-脾胃肝为切入点，强调"脾胃为本""中焦一体"的治疗思路，总结出脾胃虚弱、肝郁脾虚两个证型，临证时以培土达木为基本治疗原则，辨证论治，临床疗效显著。     

Time-Driven Activity-Based Cost Comparison of Three Imaging Pathways for Suspected Midgut Volvulus in Children

ObjectiveTo use time-driven activity-based costing to compare the costs of pathways for evaluating suspected pediatric midgut volvulus using either fluoroscopic upper gastrointestinal examination (UGI) or focused abdominal ultrasound (US).MethodsProcess maps were created through patient shadowing, medical record review, and frontline staff interviews. Using time-driven activity-based costing methodology, practical capacity cost rates were calculated for personnel, equipment, and facility costs. Supply costs were included at institutional purchase prices. The cost of each process substep was determined by multiplying step-specific capacity costs by the median time required for each step, and substep costs were summed to generate total pathway cost. Multivariate sensitivity analyses were performed applying minimum and maximum labor costs. Assuming UGI would be used to troubleshoot nondiagnostic US, a break-even analysis was performed to determine the cost impact of varying frequencies of UGI on the total cost of the US-based pathway.ResultsProcess maps were created from 105 (48 girls, 57 boys) patient encounters. Base case pathway times were 90 min (UGI) and 55 min (US). Base case cost for UGI was $282.74 (range: $170.86-$800.82) when performed by a radiology practitioner assistant and $545.66 (range: $260.97-$1,974.06) when performed by a radiologist. Base case cost for US was $155.67 (range: $122.94-$432.29) when performed by a sonographer and $242.64 (range: $147.46-$1,330.05) when performed by a radiologist. For a US-based pathway, the total cost break-even pathway mix (percent UGI required for troubleshooting) was 57%.ConclusionUS can be a faster and less costly alternative to UGI in pediatric patients with suspected midgut volvulus.
