To further standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment behavior of hepatocellular carcinoma, based on evidence-based medical evidence and expert opinion, Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology updated and published guideline of hepatocellular carcinoma. In this paper, the new guideline on the updating of medical treatment strategies for hepatocellular carcinoma was studied.
ObjectiveTo sort out the key evidence-based data and recent advances in the systemic treatment of advanced triple-negative breast carcinoma (TNBC), to summarize the therapeutic strategies so as to provide guidance for clinical practice. MethodsThe key evidence and research progress on immune checkpoint inhibitors, antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, anti-angiogenic agents, and novel microtubule inhibitors were summarized. ResultsThe treatment landscape for advanced TNBC has shifted from chemotherapy-centric approaches to biomarker-driven, stratified precision therapy. Based on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels, immune therapy combined with chemotherapy is prioritized. For cases with germline breast cancer gene 1/2 (gBRCA1/2) mutations, PARP inhibitors are recommended. ADCs are suggested for second-line treatment, while novel microtubule inhibitors, either alone or in combination with anti-angiogenic agents, are preferred for later-line therapy to extend patient survival. ConclusionDynamic monitoring of molecular biomarkers such as PD-L1 and gBRCA, combined with sequential or combined "targeted–immunotherapy–ADC" regimens in a "chemotherapy-free" approach, has shown promise in improving overall survival in advanced TNBC.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is one of the forms of respiratory failure that seriously threaten human life. It has the characteristics of very high morbidity, mortality and hospitalization costs. How to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome to improve the quality of life of patients is particularly important. Mechanical ventilation is an important treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome. This article will review the progress in mechanical ventilation therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome, including non-invasive mechanical ventilation and invasive mechanical ventilation (tidal volume, lung recruitment, positive end-expiratory pressure, prone position ventilation, and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation), aiming to provide basis and reference for future exploration of the treatment direction of acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Objective To compare endoscopic sinius surgery plus middle meatus fenestration with endoscopic sinius surgery plus middle and inferior meatus fenestration for fungus ball maxillary sinusitis. Methods Applying a prospective randomized controlled trial, 80 patients with fungal ball maxillary sinusitis from January, 2010 to March, 2011 were collected and then divided into two groups, including experiment (40 cases) and control groups (40 cases). The trial group received endoscopic sinius surgery plus middle and inferior meatus fenestration, which the control group received endoscopic sinius surgery plus middle meatus fenestration. Then a follow-up was conducted from the end of surgery to February 28th, 2013. All patients took subjective and objective assessment before and after the surgery, including VAS, SNOT-20, Lund-Mackay CT system scores and Lund-Kennedy endoscopic mucosal score. Results with the trial group was superior to the control group in VAS score, SNOT rating and Lund-Kennedy mucosa score 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery (Plt;0.01). Lund-Mackay CT score of the control group was significantly higher than the trial group after 1 year of surgery (Plt;0.01). According to the Haikou standard to assess the efficacy of surgery, we found that the total effectiveness rate of the trial group (100.0%; recovery: 36 cases; improved: 4 cases) was higher than that of the control group (87.5%; recovery: 28 cases; improved: 4 cases), with a significant difference (P=0.021). Conclusion Endoscopic sinius surgery plus middle and inferior meatus fenestration with a lower reoccurrence rate is superior to endoscopic sinius surgery plus middle meatus fenestration for fungus ball maxillary sinusitis in clinical efficacy.
