中国抗癌协会神经内分泌肿瘤诊治指南（2022年版）

神经内分泌肿瘤（neuroendocrine neoplasm,NEN）是一类起源于肽能神经元和神经内分泌细胞,具有神经内分泌分化并表达神经内分泌标志物的少见肿瘤,可发生于全身各处,以肺及胃肠胰NEN（gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm, GEP-NEN）最常见。国内外研究数据均提示,NEN的发病率在不断上升。美国流行病学调查结果显示,与其他类型肿瘤相比,NEN的发病率上升趋势更为显著。中国抗癌协会神经内分泌肿瘤专委会在现有循证医学证据基础上,结合已有国内外指南和共识,制订了首版中国抗癌协会神经内分泌肿瘤诊治指南,为临床工作者提供参考。     

Surgical outcomes of partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma: A joint study by the Japanese Society of Renal Cancer

OBJECTIVE: A joint study was undertaken by the Japanese Society of Renal Cancer to investigate the present status of partial nephrectomy in Japan and to speculate about what may be the indications for partial nephrectomy in patients with renal cell carcinoma. METHODS: Data were tabulated for 469 patients from participating medical institutions and various clinical factors were investigated with regard to disease progression (local recurrence and distant metastasis). RESULTS: Disease progression was observed in 21 patients (4.5%). No significant relation to disease progression was observed for sex, laterality, tumor histology, grade and tumor size. Although patients with solitary tumors displayed excellent prognosis irrespective of tumor diameter, patients with multiple tumors displayed a high likelihood of disease progression. Patients older than 77 years old and patients with imperative indication were found to have a poorer prognosis. CONCLUSION: In patients with solitary tumors, partial nephrectomy can be actively performed, even if the patient displays elective indications and the tumor is >4 cm in diameter. In patients displaying multiple tumors with imperative indications, the decision whether to perform partial nephrectomy should be made by the patients and their physicians after considering the impact on curability and the quality of life.     

Recommendations for the Conduct of Acute Inhalation Limit Tests

This paper reviews the scientific issues related to exposureconcentrations and particle sizes used in acute inhalation limittests. The current United States Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA) recommended exposure concentration for such tests is5 mg/liter, while this level is very high, it is often achievable.On the other hand, its toxicological relevance is questionable.The USEPA recommendation that 25% of the particle distributionbe less than 1 µm is a more difficult issue to address.Physical laws for aerosol particle generation and behavior limitthe minimum size of particles in an exposure atmosphere at aconcentration of 5 mg/liter. Particle size also influences depositionsite in the respiratory tract. Since damage to any region ofthe respiratory tract can produce lethality, and it is not possibleto predict, a priori, the most responsive region of the tractor the most harmful particle size of an untested agent, acutelimit testing should employ particles in a size range that depositsthroughout the entire rodent respiratory tract. Particles between1 and 4 µm mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) arewell suited for such studies. It is, therefore, recommendedthat the limit test concentration should be the highest concentration(up to 5 mg/liter) that can be achieved while still maintaininga particle size distribution having an MMAD between 1 and 4µm.
