Objective To introduce experiences in the application of island myocutaneous flap for refractory wound in cervicothoracic region. Methods From August 1994 to December 2004, 98 cases of refractory wound in cervicothoracic region were treated; there 42 males and 56 females, aging 2168 years.The course of disease was 3 hours to 13 months. The locations were anterior pectorial region(29 cases), cervical part (28 cases), nuchal region (18 cases), subaxillary and axillary region (15 cases), and thoracic wall (8 cases). The defect area ranged from 6 cm×4 cm to 20 cm×15 cm. According to location, peculiarity and etiological factor of wound, various island myocutaneous flaps were selected: 28 pectoralis major island myocutaneous flaps,34 latissimus dorsi island myocutaneous flaps, 19 trapizius island myocutaneousflaps and 17 rectus abdominis island myocutaneous flap. The sizes of the dissected flap ranged from 8 cm×6 cm to 35 cm×15 cm. Results Of 98 patients, the woundhealed by first intention and the flap survived completely in 92 and the flap necrosed partially in 6. The good function and cosmetic results were obtained without severe complication. Eightythree cases were followed up from 2 weeks to 5 years. The flap obtained satisfactory appearance, good function and cosmetic results. Conclusion Repairing refractory wound in cerviconuchal region may selectpectoralis major island myocutaneous flap, latissimus dorsi island myocutaneousflap, and trapizius island myocutaneous flap; repairing refractory wound on thoracic region may select latissimus dorsi island myocutaneous flap and rectus abdominis island myocutaneous flap. According to specific condition of wound, using suitable island myocutaneous flap for refractory wound in cervicothoracic region may obtain satisfactory functional and cosmetic results.
Objective To systematically review the pharmacoeconomic evaluation related to relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL), and to summarize its model structure, parameter inclusion and other methodological parts for future r/r B-ALL-related interventions, and to provide references for conducting pharmacoeconomic evaluations. Methods PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect relevant literature on the pharmacoeconomic evaluation model of r/r B-ALL from inception to August 6th, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the included studies. The data on the model structure, methods, and parameter inclusion were then summarized. Results A total of 10 studies using different modeling methods were included. Due to the lack of head-to-head trials, most of the efficacy parameters for the intervention and control groups were derived from different clinical trials and compared indirectly. All studies used quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) as output indicators, and some used life years (LYs) as output indicators and reported the incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER). All studies measured the cost of treatment and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; a few studies also conducted subgroup analysis. Conclusion The number of studies on the economic evaluation of r/r B-ALL is relatively small, and there are large differences in model types, health status, and parameter inclusion. It is suggested that researchers should guarantee the integrity of the report format and normative according to available data choice drug economics evaluation model and establish the reasonable hypothesis under the condition of the patient population heterogeneity uncertainty, perform subgroup analysis especially on the subgroup which did not receive salvage therapy. In the absence of head-to-head clinical trials, appropriate indirect comparison methods are adopted according to the data obtained to reduce methodological differences and improve the quality of relevant pharmacoeconomic research in China.

Methods A total of 143 patients who had undergone surgeries for intractable epilepsy in the Neurosurgery Department of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2005 to 2009 were enrolled, and the prognosis with different disease course were assessed based on the Engel classification. Results Between different disease duration groups, the difference between the prognosis of the temporal surgery and the surgery of temporal lobe combined with other lobes was not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05), which indicated no relationship between the disease course and the prognosis. However, the difference between the prognosis of the surgeries outside the temporal lobe was statistically significant (Plt;0.05), which showed that patients with a longer disease course had a worse prognosis. Conclusion The prognosis of the epilepsy surgery outside the temporal lobe is correlated with the disease course. The shorter course has a better prognosis after surgery.
ObjectiveAnalyze and compare the differences in the efficacy and adverse reactions of various ketogenic diet (KD) in the treatment of refractory epilepsy in children.MethodsSystematic search of electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Web of Science and the Central Register of Cochrane Controlled Trials, published in English January 2000 Relevant research from January to August 2020. Results: Finally, 11 articles were included and 781 cases were included. Meta-analysis (NMA) method was used to compare 6 classic ketogenic diets (Classic ketogenic diet, CKD), Gradual ketogenic diet initiation (GRAD-KD), and the first modified Atkins diet of 20 g carbohydrates/d (Initial 20 g of carbohydrate/day of modified Atkins diet, IMAD), modified Atkins diet (MAD), low glycemic index diet (LGID) and medium-chain fatty acid diet (Medium-chain triglyceride diet, MCT) Therapeutic effect and adverse reactions of 3, 6, and 12 months.ResultsFrom the results of the direct comparative analysis, CKD and MAD showed superior clinical efficacy in 50% seizure reduction at 3 months to CAU, and the difference was statistically significant [OR=10.58, 95%CI (3.47, 32.40), P<0.05; OR=11.31, 95%CI (5.04, 25.38), P<0.05]; the clinical efficacy of 90% seizure reduction at 3 months for MAD was superior to that of CAU with statistical significance [OR=4.95, 95%CI (1.90, 12.88), P<0.05]. The results of further network meta-analysis suggested that for the comparison of 50% seizure reduction at 3 months, IMAD, GRAD-KD, CKD, MAD, and MCT were superior to CAU, and the difference was statistically significant [OR=0.03; 95%CI (0.00, 0.30), P<0.05; OR=0.07; 95%CI (0.01, 0.76), P<0.05; OR=0.11; 95%CI (0.03, 0.35), P<0.05; OR=0.11; 95%CI (0.04, 0.35), P<0.05; OR=0.13; 95%CI (0.03, 0.67), P<0.05; OR=0.11; 95%CI (0.03, 0.35), P<0.05; OR=0.11; 95%CI (0.04, 0.35), P<0.05]. For the comparison of 90% seizure reduction at 3 months, CKD, GRAD-CK, IMAD, MAD, and MCT were superior to CAU, and the differences were statistically significant [OR=0.05; 95%CI (0.00, 0.31), P<0.05; OR=0.22; 95%CI (0.00, 0.39), P<0.05; OR=0.03; 95%CI (0.00, 0.62), P<0.05; OR=0.12; 95%CI (0.01, 0.60), P<0.05; OR=0.09; 95%CI (0.00, 0.91), P<0.05]. It is suggested in the cumulative probability plot that: the optimal clinical regimen for 50% seizure reduction at 3 months was IMAD (Rank1=0.91), the optimal clinical regimen for 50% seizure reduction at 6 months was CKD (Rank1=0.40), the optimal clinical regimen for 50% seizure reduction at 12 months was MCT (Rank1=0.64); the optimal clinical regimen for 90% seizure reduction at 3 months was IMAD (Rank1=0.94), the optimal clinical regimen for 90% seizure reduction at 6 months was LGIT (Rank1=0.44), and the optimal clinical regimen for 90% seizure reduction at 12 months was MCT (Rank1=0.41); the optimal clinical regimen for seizure reduction at 3 months was GRAD-CK (Rank1=0.46), the optimal clinical regimen for seizure reduction at 6 months was LGIT (Rank1=0.58), and the optimal clinical regimen for seizure reduction at 12 months was CKD (Rank1=0.56). It is suggested in the benefit-risk assessment that among the three KDs (CKD, MAD, MCT) with better 50% and 90% seizure reduction at 3 months and 6 months, combining with the incidence of adverse reactions, CKD was the optimal treatment regimen (CF=0.47, CF=0.86); among the two KDs (CKD, MAD) with better seizure reduction at 3 months and 6 months, combining with the incidence of adverse reactions, CKD was the optimal treatment regimen (CF=0.45); among the two KDs (CKD, MCT) with better 50% and 90% seizure reduction at 12 months, combining with the incidence of adverse reactions, CKD was the optimal treatment regimen (CF=0.65).ConclusionsIn this study, IMAD showed the optimal clinical efficacy at 3 months and MCT at 12 months. With stable efficacy and low incidence of adverse reactions in 12 months, CKD was the optimal treatment regimen for children with refractory epilepsy after the comprehensive evaluation.
Objcetive To assess the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide plus dexamethasone (LD) compared with placebo plus dexamethasone (PD) for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Methods Data were searched in The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2010), MEDLINE (with PubMed, 1966 to Nov. 2010), EMbase (1984 to Nov. 2010), CBMdisc (1978 to Nov. 2010), and CNKI (1979 to Nov. 2010), and also searched in clinical trials register for ongoing studies and completed studies with unpublished data. The references of the included studies and relevant supplement or conference abstracts were handsearched. Randomized controlled trials were included. The data were extracted, and then the quality of the included studies was assessed by two reviewers independently. RevMan 5.0 software was used for meta-analyses for studies with low heterogeneity. Results Two studies involving 704 participants were included. One was high quality study, while the other was unclear about randomization and allocation concealment. The adverse outcomes of LD, such as mortality (RR=0.78, 95%CI 0.62 to 0.97, P=0.03) and incidence of disease progression (RR=0.16, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.34, Plt;0.000 01), were better than those of PD, which had significant differences. The overall response rate was higher in the LD group than in the PD group (RR=2.75, 95%CI 2.22 to 3.41, Plt;0.000 01). The incidence of thrombotic event (RR=3.20, 95%CI 1.78 to 5.73, Plt;0.000 1), the Grade Three and Grade Four neutropenia (RR=10.20, 95%CI 5.76 to 18.08, Plt;0.000 01), the Grade Three and Grade Four thrombocytopenia (RR=2.08, 95%CI 1.28 to 3.38, P=0.003), and the incidence of drug withdrawal or dosage reduction due to adverse reactions (RR=1.34, 95%CI 1.21 to 1.49, Plt;0.000 01) were all higher in the LD group than in the PD group. Conclusion The efficacy of LD is superior to that of PD for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, but the incidence of drug adverse events, such as thrombosis, Grade Three or Grader Four neutropenia or thrombocytopenia, is also higher than that of PD, which has to be prevented positively.
