Objective To elucidate the clinical features and treatment of parapneumonic effusions ( PPE) . Methods Ninety-seven patients were analyzed retrospectively in Guangzhou First Municipal People’s Hospital fromJanuary 2004 to July 2008. The data of 54 patients with complicated parapneumonic effusion ( CPPE) and 9 cases with empyema were compared with 49 patients with tuberculosis pleural effusions. Results Of 97 cases, 34 patients with uncomplicated parapneumonic effusion ( UPPE) were treated with antibiotics only, whose hospitalization time was ( 14. 8 ±7. 6) days, and 27 cases were cured ( 79. 4% ) . Of 54 CPPE patients, 42 were treated with antibiotics and pleural space drainage with central venous catheter, whose hospitalization time was ( 21. 7 ±13. 0) days, and 32 were cured ( 76. 2% ) . Another12 CPPE patients were treated with interapleural urokinase and drainage from the chest tube, whose hospitalization time was ( 22. 5 ±9. 3) days, and 8 were cured ( 66. 7% ) . Nine cases with empyema were rinsed the pleural with metronidazole solution, whose hospitalization time was ( 25. 7 ±17. 4) days, and 8 were cured( 89. 0% ) . Compared with the tuberculous pleurisy patients, most CPPE and empyema occurred in middle and old aged patients with an average age of ( 63. 3 ±19. 3) years. Polykaryocyte and lactate dehydrogenase increased significantly. Adenosine deaminase ( ADA) was lt; 45 U/L in most UPPE and empyema patients, but was gt; 45 U/L in 7 cases ( 11% ) . Conclusions UPPE is simple and preferably treated with antibiotics alone. While CPPE and empyema should be drainaged as early as possible, and the low-dose urokinase may be helpful. The level of ADA can not absolutely distinguish parapneumonic effusion from tuberculous pleural effusion.
目的 探讨胰腺囊性肿瘤的诊断及外科治疗方法。方法 对我院2003年4月至2012年4月期间收治的19例胰腺囊性肿瘤患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析。结果 本组19例患者中浆液性囊腺瘤8例,黏液性囊腺瘤5例,导管内乳头状黏液瘤4例,实性假乳头状瘤1例,囊腺癌1例。行B超或CT发现胰腺占位病变。位于胰头部5例,胰体部8例,胰尾部6例。行肿瘤摘除术4例,保留脾脏的胰体尾切除术5例,胰体尾+脾脏切除手术3例,胰十二指肠切除术6例,1例囊腺癌患者因肝脏转移伴腹腔广泛转移、侵犯大血管而肿瘤不能切除仅行胃空肠、胆肠吻合。术后发生胰瘘2例,腹腔感染1例,经保守治疗后康复出院。无围手术期死亡病例。19例患者均进行了随访,随访时间6~80个月,平均45.2个月。1例囊腺癌合并肝脏转移患者于术后7个月死亡,其余良性肿瘤患者均未见复发,最长已存活5年。结论 胰腺囊性肿瘤主要靠影像学检查发现,手术切除是理想的治疗方法,选择合适的术式有助于避免术后并发症的发生和改善预后。
【摘要】目的探讨外科手术治疗原发性肝癌致阻塞性黄疸的方法及疗效。方法自1991年1月至2001年12月期间我院对17例原发性肝癌致阻塞性黄疸的患者进行外科手术治疗,其中行肝叶切除及胆总管切开取癌栓者14例,行同种异体原位肝移植术3例。结果患者平均生存时间为8个月,最长24个月。结论外科治疗原发性肝癌致阻塞性黄疸明显改善了患者生活质量,延长了生存时间。
ObjectiveTo summarize the mechanism of action of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibitors, the application in breast cancer in recent years and the advances in the study of their bio-markers of effects. MethodRelevant literatures on PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and the study in the field of breast cancer were reviewed and summarized.ResultsIn recent years, the monotherapy of immune checkpoint inhibitors represented by PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors or in combination with other therapies had brought new hope for patients with breast cancer especially triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, only a small number of patients could benefit from breast cancer immunotherapy. The current researchers think that the efficacy of these drugs is related to PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue, tumor mutation burden (TMB), high level of microsatellite instability (MSI-H) and deficient mismatch repair (dMMR).ConclusionBreast cancer can benefit from the immunotherapy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, but formulating personalized medicine model, finding biomarkers that can predict efficacy and selecting patients with breast cancer who can benefit from it for targeted therapy are the new requirements in the new era of breast cancer immunotherapy.
Primary bronchopulmonary carcinoma occurs in the bronchial mucosa epithelium, also called lung cancer (LC), and has currently become the first cause of death of malignant tumors in China. With constant efforts of Chinese physicians, the diagnosis and management of LC has made certain progress, but standardized surgery for LC still varies to a great extent due to difference regions, nature of medical centers, and technical levels. Complete and standardized surgical resection can provide good long-term survival for patients with stageⅠ, Ⅱand partly ⅢA LC, and cannot be a substitute for other treatment, which shows the importance of standardized surgery. As the most solid member, surgery plays a decisive role in comprehensive multidisciplinary treatment of LC. Today's medical development requires thoracic surgeons to provide most standardized and individualized treatment with principles of evidence-based medicine. This review focuses on progress of standardized surgery for stage Ⅰto ⅢA LC.
