ⅢA-N2期非小细胞肺癌新辅助治疗的研究现状

ⅢA-N2期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)是一组异质性较大的疾病,最佳治疗模式仍存在争议。如何将化疗、放疗、靶向及免疫治疗等多种治疗手段合理的应用于这部分患者的新辅助治疗中,目前尚无定论。本文就NSCLC新辅助治疗相关研究进行综述,对不同新辅助治疗模式进行疗效及安全性方面的评估。     

中西医结合治疗痰热蕴结型咽喉反流性疾病的临床研究

目的观察中西医结合法治疗痰热蕴结型咽喉反流性疾病的临床疗效。方法选取2018年9月至2019年9月就诊于辽宁中医药大学附属医院耳鼻咽喉科的痰热蕴结型咽喉反流患者60例为研究对象,随机分为对照组和治疗组各30例。对照组采用口服埃索美拉唑镁肠溶片治疗,治疗组在对照组的基础上加服中药汤剂治疗,组成:瓜蒌子15 g、甘草10 g、蜜麻黄10 g、麦冬15 g、生石膏30 g、炒枳壳15 g、炒紫苏子15 g、川贝母2 g、清半夏15 g加减,疗程均为2个月。分别于治疗前和治疗后对患者进行电子喉镜检查,并且观察反流症状指数RSI和反流体征评分RFS量表评分变化,从而进行疗效评价。结果两组治疗均能改善患者症状,但观察组方案优于对照组。结论中西医结合法治疗痰热蕴结型咽喉反流患者疗效显著,大大的改善患者的症状,值得推广。     

Association between cranial asymmetry severity and chronic subdural hematoma laterality

Objectives:To analyze the association between cranial asymmetry severity and chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) laterality.Methods:We retrospectively assessed 120 patients with surgically treated unilateral CSDH from January 2009 to December 2018. Preoperative computed tomography images were used to determine occipital vault angles, bilateral cranium areas, and cranial index of symmetry (CIS) ratios.Results:The male sex (70%) was the predominant factor promoting CSDH pathogenesis. In the overall study population (mean age, 71.3 years; left-sided CSDH, 58/120 [48%] patients; right-sided CSDH due to right-sided flat cranium, 38 patients; left-sided CSDH due to right-sided flat cranium, 37 patients). Flat cranial asymmetry was nonsignificantly associated with CSDH laterality (p- value=.689). However, most CSDH patients (86.7% of 120 patients) presented dominant-sided nonoverlapping areas on the left side. Thirteen (81.3%) patients presenting right-dominant nonoverlapping areas had right-sided CSDH, and 55 (52.9%) patients had left-dominant nonoverlapping area had left-sided CSDH (p- value=0.01). The CIS ratio was significantly higher in patients with right-dominant nonoverlapping areas than in those with left-dominant nonoverlapping areas (97.2% vs 95.9%, p- value<0.0001).Conclusion:Left-sided hematoma predominance is not associated with a flat cranium and laterality of unilateral CSDH. Moreover, more asymmetric crania with lower CIS ratios may predict left-sided CSDHs, whereas the right-sided CSDHs may be more common in symmetric crania with higher CIS ratios. The CSDH laterality is potentially attributable to cranial asymmetry severity.

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), a common neurosurgical entity, is considered a delayed manifestation of head trauma, occurring mostly in older men.1 Although CSDHs can occur in unilateral or bilateral intracranial spaces, left-sided predominance has been previously reported.2,3 Few studies have reported that cranial morphology and gravity contribute to the laterality of CSDH.4–6 Cranial asymmetry is more common among crania flattened toward the right side, influencing the left-sided predominance of CSDH.6 The cranial index of symmetry (CIS) with a semiautomated method has been introduced to objectively determine the severity of cranial deformations including plagiocephaly.7 A preliminary study reported that the objective nonradiographic method potentially serves as an unbiased measurement of cranial asymmetry.7 The flat side has been simply defined by a smaller angle through a simple method considering angles among 3 lines.4–6 However, the angles may be manually affected by the points of the intersection of the manually selected lines, thus obstructing cranial asymmetry assessment. Therefore, here, we aimed to clarify the association between the severity of cranial asymmetry and the laterality of CSDH by using an objective semiautomated method.     

“两阶段三部曲”在结直肠癌辅助化疗期的应用＊

辅助化疗有助于改善高危II/III期结直肠癌患者的生存。然而，辅助化疗的不良反应影响患者的生活质量，严重的不良反应甚至可能导致化疗的延期或终止，使得患者不能从辅助化疗中获益。中国中医科学院西苑医院杨宇飞教授根据多年临床经验，创新性提出辅助化疗期的“两阶段三部曲”，即补肾健脾序贯疗法，第1阶段应用自拟六君安胃方健脾和胃，针对化疗导致的胃肠道反应；第2阶段运用芪菟二至方健脾益肾，针对化疗导致的骨髓抑制；以及辛凉解表感冒方，针对化疗期间的外感。临床应用取得了显著的疗效。文章详细阐述“两阶段三部曲”提出的背景及其主要内容。     

纤维蛋白原/白蛋白比值比对可手术乳腺癌患者预后的影响

目的探讨纤维蛋白原/白蛋白比值比(FAR)对可手术乳腺癌患者预后的影响。 方法依据纳入、排除标准，收集中国医学科学院北京协和医院2013年1～12月收治的520例Ⅰ～Ⅲ期可手术乳腺癌患者临床资料进行回顾性研究。在术前检测血浆纤维蛋白原和白蛋白水平。将纤维蛋白原与白蛋白质量浓度比值乘以100定义为FAR。根据受试者工作特征曲线确定FAR最佳临界值，并依据最佳临界值将受试者分为高FAR组(FAR>6.99)147例和低FAR组(FAR≤6.99)343例。采用Kaplan-Meier法和log-rank检验评估2组患者的DFS和OS，用Cox比例风险回归模型分析患者DFS和OS的影响因素。 结果log-rank检验显示，高FAR组患者的DFS和OS均比低FAR组差(χ²＝32.885、16.320，P均<0.001)。Cox比例风险回归模型单因素分析和多因素分析均显示：高FAR为患者DFS的独立危险因素(HR＝4.092，95%CI：2.425～6.903，P<0.001；HR＝4.226，95%CI：2.476～7.212，P<0.001);高FAR为患者OS的独立危险因素(HR＝3.907，95%CI：1.913～7.978，P<0.001；HR＝4.320，95%CI：2.087～8.942，P<0.001)。 结论术前高FAR患者的无疾病进展时间更短，OS率更低。术前FAR水平有望成为预测乳腺癌患者预后的有效指标。     

Therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cell on Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in a rat model by modulating Th17/Treg cell balance

Abstract

The autoimmune condition Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is a disease wherein lymphocytes mediate the autoimmune damage and destruction of the thyroid gland. There are currently no effective means of treating HT, with the primary strategies of thyroid hormone therapy, surgery, or immunomodulatory therapy being associated with serious risks and side effects. There is thus a clear and urgent need to identify novel treatments for HT. In this study, we utilize female SD rats induced HT to evaluated the ability of transplanted MSCs to regulate Th17/Treg interactions in a rat Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) model system. The results showed that Rats in the HT model group exhibited increased thyroid autoantibody levels consistent with successful model development, whereas these levels were lower in rats treated with MSCs. There were also fewer thyroid lesions and less lymphoid infiltration of the thyroid in MSC-treated rats relative to HT model rats, as well as fewer Th17 cells and more Treg cells – an observation consistent with the cytokine analyses. All of these showed that MSCs can regulate Th17/Treg interactions in a rat Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) model system. It suggested that transplanted MSCs could be a potential immunotherapy strategy for the treatment of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
