头颈部恶性肿瘤嗜神经侵袭临床诊治现状

嗜神经侵袭是肿瘤通过神经扩散与转移的一种独特的生物学行为,与复发、转移、预后密切相关。随着研究的不断深入,人们普遍认识到嗜神经侵袭的临床意义。但由于头颈部肿瘤发病率相对较低,不同解剖部位、不同病理类型嗜神经发生率各不相同,故缺乏高级别的循证医学证据。目前嗜神经侵袭的病理学机制尚未完全阐明,也无针对神经侵犯的特异性治疗手段,因此头颈部肿瘤嗜神经侵袭的治疗对于临床医师是一个巨大的挑战。本文就头颈部恶性肿瘤中嗜神经侵袭的临床诊治现状做一综述。

Rare patients in routine care: Treatment and outcome in advanced papillary renal cell carcinoma in the prospective German clinical RCC-Registry

Non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma is a very rare malignancy that includes several histological subtypes. Each subtype may need to be addressed separately regarding prognosis and treatment; however, no Phase III clinical trial data exist. Thus, treatment recommendations for patients with non-clear cell metastatic RCC (mRCC) remain unclear. We present first prospective data on choice of first- and second-line treatment in routine practice and outcome of patients with papillary mRCC. From the prospective German clinical cohort study (RCC-Registry), 99 patients with papillary mRCC treated with systemic first-line therapy between December 2007 and May 2017 were included. Prospectively enrolled patients who had started first-line treatment until May 15, 2016, were included into the outcome analyses (n = 82). Treatment was similar to therapies used for clear cell mRCC and consisted of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mechanistic target of rapamycin inhibitors and recently checkpoint inhibitors. Median progression-free survival from start of first-line treatment was 5.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.1–9.2) and median overall survival was 12.0 months (95% CI, 8.1–20.0). At data cutoff, 73% of the patients died, 6% were still observed, 12% were lost to follow-up, and 9% were alive at the end of the individual 3-year observation period. Despite the lack of prospective Phase III evidence in patients with papillary mRCC, our real-world data reveal effectiveness of systemic clear cell mRCC therapy in papillary mRCC. The prognosis seems to be inferior for papillary compared to clear cell mRCC. Further studies are needed to identify drivers of effectiveness of systemic therapy for papillary mRCC.     

Relationship between tRNA-derived fragments and human cancers

tRNA-derived fragments, a class of small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs), have been identified in numerous studies in recent years. tRNA-derived fragments are classified into two main groups, including tRNA halves (tiRNAs) and tRNA-derived small RNA fragments (tRFs), according to different cleavage positions of the precursor or mature tRNAs. Instead of random tRNA degradation debris, a growing body of evidence has shown that tRNA-derived fragments are precise products of specific tRNA modifications and play important roles in biological activities, such as regulating protein translation, affecting gene expression, and altering immune signaling. Recently, the relations between tRNA-derived fragments and the occurrence of human diseases, especially cancers, have generated wide interest. It has been demonstrated that tRNA-derived fragments are involved in cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, progression and survival. In this review, we will describe the biogenesis of tRNA-derived fragments, the distinct expression and function of tRNA-derived fragments in the development of cancers, and their emerging roles as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and precise targets of future treatments.     

中医治疗脑出血的研究进展

脑出血是指非外伤性脑实质内血管破裂引起的出血,具有高致死率和高致残率的特点。目前,西方医学对脑出血的治疗手段比较单一,多采用脱水降颅压、脑保护等对症治疗。而中医注重整体观和辨证法,对脑出血的治疗有独特的优势。近年来研究表明中医治疗脑出血可促进血肿的吸收,抑制水肿的形成,保护脑神经,改善患者的预后。目前,临床上常用的治法有活血化瘀法、平肝熄风法、活血利水法、通腑法、添精补髓法,对上述疗法做一综述。     

Analysis of Progression Patterns and Failure Sites of Patients With Metastatic Lung Adenocarcinoma With EGFR Mutations Receiving First-line Treatment of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

BackgroundReliable prediction of progression patterns and failure sites for patients with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma is valuable for physicians to deliver personalized tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment.Patients and MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled 266 patients who had stage IV lung adenocarcinoma and received first-line TKI treatment from 2013 to 2017 in Shanghai Chest Hospital. The clinical characteristics at initial diagnosis, progression patterns, and failure sites were analyzed with the attempt to identify some predictive factors for progression patterns and failure sites.ResultsAmong all patients, 62.4% developed systemic progression, and 37.6% developed oligoprogression. Both cohorts had a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 9 months. The percentage of patients who developed original and distant failure was 39.1% and 60.9%, respectively. Patients with oligometastasis at initial diagnosis were more prone to develop oligoprogression (odds ratio [OR], 4.370; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.881-10.151; P = .001), whereas pulmonary metastasis was negatively correlated with oligoprogression (OR, 0.567; 95% CI, 0.330-0.974; P = .04). Both oligometastasis diagnosis (OR, 2.959; 95% CI, 1.347-6.500; P = .007) and the maximum diameter of the primary lung lesion (threshold 3.25 cm: OR, 3.646; 95% CI, 2.041-6.515; P = .0001) were strong predictive factors for original failures. Osseous metastasis at initial diagnosis might be an indication for distant failure (OR, 0.536; 95% CI, 0.316-0.909; P = .021).ConclusionOver one-half of patients with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma receiving first-line TKI treatment developed systemic progression and distant failure. Metastasis patterns at initial diagnosis was the most important predictive factor for progression patterns and failure sites. The maximum diameter of the primary lung lesion and evidence of osseous metastasis were also found to be significant indicative factors for failure sites.     

TAPP与TEP治疗腹股沟疝的临床对比研究

目的探讨TAPP与TEP治疗腹股沟疝的临床治疗效果。方法选取2015年1月-2017年12月至本院行腹腔镜疝修补手术的单侧腹股沟疝患者134例为观察对象,按手术方式的不同随机分为TEP组及TAPP组两组。对比分析两组的手术时间、手术出血量、住院时间、住院费用、术后24 h急性疼痛评分(VSA)、并发症发生率。结果 TEP组手术时间、住院费用明显短于或少于TAPP组,差异具有统计学意义。术后24 h急性疼痛评分(VSA)两组相比差异无统计学意义。TEP与TAPP在手术出血量、住院时间、并发症发生率方面差异无统计学意义。结论 TAPP并不增加术后早期急性疼痛的发生率,TAPP与TEP均是治疗腹股沟疝的有效方式。     

基于“祛邪为第一要义”从清热化湿论治新型冠状病毒肺炎

结合验案分析,基于"祛邪为第一要义"探讨新型冠状病毒肺炎从清热化湿论治的思路与方法。认为新型冠状病毒肺炎主要是属于"湿热"性质的疫病,治疗应强调清热化湿,以"祛邪为第一要义",辅以扶正。在中医祛邪与扶正理论指导下,通过宣肺平喘、通腑泻热、芳香化湿等治法,祛邪为主,肺肠合治,可以使发热减轻或消退,使大便通畅,从而截断病情进展,避免或减少危重症的发生及死亡的风险;通过清热化湿、疏肝健脾、凉血化瘀等治法,祛邪兼以扶正,肺与肝、脾合调,可以改善肝功能损伤,减少病情加重的风险;通过补气健脾等扶正治法,可以改善患者的精神和体力,促使病毒更快转阴,缩短病程,促进患者早日康复。     

新型冠状病毒肺炎患者死亡影响因素分析

目的分析新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)患者死亡的影响因素,为临床上减少COVID-19患者的病亡率提供参考。方法回顾性分析本院2020年1月17日—2月25日期间所有COVID-19入院患者的病例资料,收集患者的性别、年龄、住院期间是否服用中药制剂、临床分型、合并症、核酸检测结果、入院时间、出院情况等相关指标进行统计分析。结果 COVID-19疫情期间,本院COVID-19患者的在院人数逐渐增多,最高峰期曾同时收治904名COVID-19患者。在2020年1月17日—2月25日期间本院共收治1305例COVID-19患者,其中男性632例,女性673例,男女比例1∶1.06。年龄分布在7～101岁,中位数为63(51,70)岁。不同性别之间,患者的年龄分布无明显差异。单因素分析结果显示患者的性别、年龄、治疗期间是否服用中药制剂、临床分型、是否合并基础疾病(高血压、冠心病、糖尿病、肿瘤及尿毒症)以及核酸检测结果均可影响患者的病亡率。Logistics多因素回归分析发现,服用中药制剂、临床分型以及是否合并基础疾病是COVID-19患者病亡的独立危险因素。结论 COVID-19患者死亡与多种因素有关,减少危重症的发生,控制基础疾病,稳定血压血糖,积极改善心脑血管条件及稳定肾功能等是提高COVID-19患者治疗效果的主要措施,并且早期应用中药治疗对减少COVID-19病亡率同样具有十分重要的作用。     

Oncologic outcome of mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC): A single center case series

IntroductionMixed adeno-neuroendocrine carcinomas (MANEC) are rare tumors of gastrointestinal tract mostly found in stomach. There are very few case reports and case series with location of colon and rectum. We aimed to report our results in the treatment of colorectal MANEC.MethodsWe performed a prospective analysis of patients with MANEC diagnosis from December 2011 to March 2019 at National Cancer Institute, Lithuania. The demographic information, tumor details, immunohistochemical markers, clinical data, stage, treatment modalities, clinical and oncological outcomes were collected.ResultsNine patients with a diagnosis of MANEC were found in our center. The average age at diagnosis was 64.8 (48–91) years. Seven out of nine (77.8%) patients underwent surgery. Distant metastases were observed in five (55.6%) patients. The adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor as a dominant component were equal in all cases. The most common tumor localizations were sigmoid colon in three patients (33.3%) and rectum – three patients, following two in an anal canal, and one in the hepatic flexure of colon. The adenocarcinoma component was poorly differentiated (G3) in six patients and moderately differentiated (G2) in three patients. The neuroendocrine component was G3 in seven patients (77.8%), G2 – in two patients (22.2%). Median follow-up was 17 months with a median survival time of 12.5 months.ConclusionMANEC is very rare, aggressive, rapidly spreading, usually with poor prognosis disease.
