特发性肺纤维化患者慢性肺部感染的发生特点及病原学研究

目的 探讨特发性肺纤维化（IPF）患者慢性肺部感染（CPI）的发生特点及病原学特征。方法 选择我院收治的195例IPF患者为研究对象，将患者分为四组，A组：IPF诊断时CPI阴性且随访期间未出现CPI;B组：IPF诊断为CPI阴性，但在随访期间出现CPI;C组：IPF诊断为CPI阳性，但在随访期间未出现另一种CPI;D组：IPF诊断为CPI阳性，并在随访期间出现另一种CPI。记录患者基线资料及生存状态。结果 在IPF诊断时，31例患者出现CPI（C+D组）,在164例诊断IPF时没有CPI的患者（A+B组）中，28例患者（B组）在平均6.1年（0.01～15.00年）的随访期内出现了CPI。在这28例B组患者中，25例（89.29%）只有1种病原体，3例（10.71%）有2种病原体，2例患者发生了二次感染。检出结核分枝杆菌14例（45.16%）,禽类分支杆菌复合体10例（32.26%）,曲霉属真菌5例（16.13%）,诺卡氏菌属1例（3.23%）,禽类分支杆菌复合体及曲霉属真菌混合感染1例（3.23%）。多变量COX分析发现，BMI<21 kg/m2、PaO2<70 mmHg、KL-6≥2000 U/ml是影响患者CPI发生的独立性危险因素。Log-rank检验显示，有CPI发展组和无CPI发展组患者的生存率差异无统计学意义（P=0.416）。结论 结核分枝杆菌、非结核分枝杆菌、曲霉菌和诺卡氏菌是CPI患者的最常见病原菌。在IPF随访过程中，尤其是BMI<21 kg/m2、PaO2<70 mmHg、KL-6≥2000 U/ml的患者，临床医生应注意CPI的变化情况。

Lives and Economic Loss in Brazil due to Lack of Radiotherapy Access in Cervical Cancer: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

AimsAmong all malignancies, the use of radiotherapy incurs the highest survival benefit within cervical cancers. Radiotherapy, however, remains underutilised for cervical cancers within the Brazilian public health system (BPHS). The objective of this study was to estimate the potential health and monetary benefits for universal access to radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for untreated cervical cancer patients in the BPHS.Materials and methodsUsing 2016 data on Brazilian cervical cancer incidence and availability of radiotherapy/CRT in the BPHS, the number of cancer deaths due to radiotherapy/CRT underutilisation was estimated. The incremental effectiveness was calculated by life-year gain. The indirect costs from mortality-related productivity loss (MRPL) were estimated based on life expectancy, wage and labour force participation rate. MRPL was compared with direct medical costs after being adjusted to 2016 US dollars. This study was conducted from the payer's perspective; both costs and effectiveness were discounted at a rate of 3%. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated to determine the cost-effectiveness of radiotherapy for cervical cancer in Brazil. One-way sensitivity analyses were carried out to assess the robustness of the model.ResultsThe total number of life-years lost due to lack of universal access to radiotherapy and CRT per year were 27 199 and 31 627, respectively. The annual cost to match the radiotherapy gap was $10.5 million, with an additional cost of $3 million to close the CRT gap. The mean years of potential life lost per death was 20.5. The cost per life saved was $7942 for radiotherapy alone (ICER $388/life-year) and $8774 for CRT (ICER $429/life-year). MRPL due to shortage of radiotherapy and CRT were $59 million and $69 million, respectively.ConclusionProviding universal access to radiotherapy/CRT for cervical cancer patients in the BPHS is highly cost-effective and should be prioritised as an impactful public health initiative.     

One Week of Hospitalization Following Elective Hip Surgery Induces Substantial Muscle Atrophy in Older Patients

Objectives

Short successive periods of skeletal muscle disuse have been suggested to substantially contribute to the observed loss of skeletal muscle mass over the life span. Hospitalization of older individuals due to acute illness, injury, or major surgery generally results in a mean hospital stay of 5 to 7 days, during which the level of physical activity is strongly reduced. We hypothesized that hospitalization following elective total hip arthroplasty is accompanied by substantial leg muscle atrophy in older men and women.

Screening for hereditary cancers in patients with endometrial cancer reveals a high frequency of germline mutations in cancer predisposition genes

As inherited genetic alterations are important etiological factors causing endometrial cancer (EC), our study aimed to outline the ethnic-related prevalence and the associated clinical and biological characteristics of germline mutations in cancer predisposition genes in Chinese EC patients. One hundred ninety-eight Chinese EC patients were screened for germline mutations in a panel of cancer susceptibility genes using next-generation sequencing combined with multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification. First, we found that among patients under 50 years of age, 26% (18/69) carried germline genetic mutations, all involving mismatch repair (MMR) genes except for one mutation affecting BRCA1. Second, when we focused on Lynch syndrome (LS) with additional selected patients, 45 were identified to carry pathogenic mutations in MMR genes, with a higher frequency found in MSH2 and MSH6. We found that age at onset, personal and familial history together with immunohistochemical assay results were the most useful criteria for the diagnosis of LS although limitations in routine practice and the sensitivity and specificity of each parameter should be taken into account. One pathogenic mutation in the PALB2 gene was detected in a patient with no breast cancer in her family. Interestingly, we identified a family carrying pathogenic variant in both PMS2 and BRCA1 genes with distinct clinical phenotypes. Multigene panel testing should be recommended to patients based on their clinical information and tumor phenotype. Our study also showed the genetic complexity in EC, which requires further investigations.
