ObjectiveTo investigate the association between the preoperative nutritional risk and anastomotic leakage following anterior resection for the rectal cancer. MethodsA total of 321 patients with rectal cancer underwent anterior resection in our hospital between January 2008 and December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative nutritional status was evaluated using NRS 2002. Correlation of clinicopathologic characteristics with postoperative anastomotic leakage was evaluated using single factor analysis and Logistic regression model. ResultsAmong the 321 patients, the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage was 5.6% (18/321). Single factor analysis showed that the NRS2002 score≥3, clinicalpathologic stage (Ⅲ-Ⅳstage) and distance of tumor from the anal verge were the risk factors of anastomotic leakage after anterior leakage following anterior resection for rectal cancer. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the NRS2002 score (OR=4.125, 95% CI=2.062-7.004), clinicalpathologic stage (OR=3.334, 95% CI=2.062-7.004) and the distance of tumor from the anal verge (OR=2.341, 95% CI=2.559-15.838) were the independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage after anterior leakage following anterior resection for rectal cancer. Conciusions Preoperative NRS2002 score is helpful to predict the risk of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection of rectal cancer. Nutrition education should be strengthened to decrease the morbidity of the anastomotic leakage following anterior resection for the patients who's NRS2002 score≥3.
Objective To systematically review the current situation of health economics evaluation of gastric cancer screening. Methods The PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect the health economics evaluation studies on gastric cancer screening from January 1st, 1975 to September 30th, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Then, qualitative analysis was performed. Results A total of 44 studies were included. Most of the targeted populations of the study were high-risk groups in areas with a high incidence of gastric cancer. Screening methods such as endoscopy and Helicobacter pylori infection detection were mainly evaluated in those studies. According to the results, about 47% of the studies evaluated a single screening method. A total of 35 studies showed that they established models, however, only a few calibrated the models. Conclusion Most studies of gastric cancer screening reviews neither calibrate the results nor consider the effect of smoking on the progression of gastric cancer. Those evaluated screening programs are limited.
Prostate cancer is a common disease in the USA and Europe, with a gradually increasing incidence in China, and presents a significant health burden for older men. The lack of modifiable risk factors has made early detection as a strategy to reduce mortality. Current methods of screening involve the measurement of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal examination followed by biopsy. With PSA screening evidence of level I absent, the evidence on the use of PSA as a screening test is still highly controversial. Furthermore, there is controversy over whether screen-detected lesions will become clinically significant. There are three major treatment options for localized disease: radical prostatectomy, radical radiotherapy and monitoring with treatment if required. There is no evidence of randomized controlled trial (RCT) to suggest a survival advantage of any of these treatments. Opinions about the related benefits and risks of screening vary widely. In the absence of RCT of benefit for screening, many now suggest “informed consensus” screening, which encourages a discussion between the patient and his physician with both sides informed of all of the issues.
目的 讨论糖尿病远端对称性多发性神经病变（DSPN）的筛查对减少糖尿病足溃疡发生的作用及护理方法。 方法 2011年5月－2012年2月对137例入选患者进行神经病变症状筛查和体征检查，并根据患者神经传导功能检查（NCS）结果作出最终诊断，由专职糖尿病足护士和健康教育护士给予患者针对性的预防教育和护理指导。 结果 根据神经病变症状、5项体征检查及NCS结果，确诊74例（54.01%），临床诊断4例（2.91%），疑似10例（7.30%），亚临床8例（5.84%），无41例（29.93%）。 结论 强调最好通过临床问诊和体格检查来达到早期筛查、早期发现，并由专科护士针对性地指导患者采取有效的足部管理和预防措施,从而预防糖尿病足部溃疡的发生。
Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate in men and the highest mortality rate in men and women in China, and the incidence and mortality rates are still increasing. Lung cancer screening is an important initiative for early detection of lung cancer and improvement of prognosis. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) updates the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines for Lung Cancer Screening annually, and the 2023 V2 edition was released in May 2023. The guidelines are based on the latest research advances and high-level evidence-based medical evidence to establish screening criteria for lung cancer, especially for non-small cell lung cancer, which is the most common and highly regarded type of lung cancer, and has received widespread attention from physicians worldwide. In this article, the latest version of the guideline will be interpreted based on China's national situation and Chinese lung cancer screening guidelines, with the aim of providing an updated reference for lung cancer screening in China.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) updates the "NCCN clinical practice guidelines in oncology: Lung cancer screening" annually, and the second edition of 2024 was released in October 2023. The 2024 edition of the guidelines builds on the 2023 edition with some updates on description and assessment of risk factors for lung cancer, evaluation and follow-up of lung nodules found during initial and subsequent screening, and low-dose CT screening protocols and imaging modalities. In this article, we will introduce the above updates and provide reference for lung cancer screening in China by combining the relevant guidelines and consensus in China.
To challenge the 15% enhancement of 5-year survival of cancer for the plan of “Health-China 2030”, we must strive the following measurements to complete the 15% enhancement of 5-year survival of liver cancer: conduct conversion therapy and conversion to resectability for the 70% of unresectable intermediate-to-advanced stage liver cancer so as to prolong survival; try our best to identify and treat the people of HBV and HCV infection, and to screen the risk people so as to reduce the incidence of liver cancer and the proportion for intermediate-to-advanced stage liver cancer; continue to try our best in the full course management of liver cancer under the frame of MDT.
During the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019, West China Hospital of Sichuan University urgently set up 4 medical tents to conduct centralized screening of fever patients, effectively avoiding cross-infection, and at the same time alleviating the pressure on the Department of Emergency Medicine and improving the efficiency of medical treatment for patients with fever. Later, in order to actively respond to China’s severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid detection policy, 5 tents were adjusted to carry out the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid detection. This article introduces the function setting, personnel arrangement and protective measures of medical tents in West China Hospital of Sichuan University during the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019. It aims to share the experience of urgently setting up medical tents in the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019, with a view to provide a reference for the construction of medical tents in other medical institutions.
