Ambulatory medicine is an important way to shorten the average length of hospital stay, reduce the cost of medical treatment, and enhance the efficient of diagnosis and treatment, providing patients with efficient, fast and convenient medical services. In combination with the developmental practice of ambulatory medicine of the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, this paper analyzes the operation and management mode and the innovative development process of ambulatory medicine. Through discussion, this paper gains a deeper understanding of ambulatory medicine, and confirms that in order to ensure the efficient and safe operation of ambulatory medicine, it is necessary to formulate specific norms and unified standards to promote the development of this new medical service mode.
【Abstract】Objective To analyze the function of BAG3 in antiapoptosis and chemotherapy resistance induction process of pancreatic cancer.Methods The expressions of BAG-3 in pancreatic cancerous tissues of patients with chemotherapy and those without chemotherapy before resection were determined by immunohistochemistry. The expression difference of BAG-3 protein 18 hours after cultured with chemotherapy drugs (concentration of drugs: 5-FU 50 μg/ml, MMC 0.5 μg/ml, EADM 1.5 μg/ml) of 3 pancreatic cancer cell lines （MIACaPa-2, PANC-1, SW1990） was measured through Western blotting method.Results The median positive rate of pancreatic cancer tissue from patients accepted chemotherapy before resection was higher than those not accepted chemotherapy, but there wasn’t significant difference. Eighteen hours after cultured with drugs, the level of BAG-3 of this three cell lines had significant increased compared with control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion Chemotherapy induces elevation of BAG-3 expression of pancreatic cancer. The upregulate of BAG-3 may associate with the chemotherapy resistance induced by drugs.
Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of dose-dense neoadjuvant chemotherapy (ddNACT) and conventional neoadjuvant chemotherapy (cNACT) for locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Methods PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing ddNACT regimen with cNACT regimen for breast cancer. The time limit for retrieval was from establishment to March 1st, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literatures, extracted data and assessed risk bias of included studies; then, meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 15.0 software. Results A total of 13 RCTs were included, including 3 258 patients, of which 1 625 patients received ddNACT and 1 633 patients received cNACT. The results of meta-analysis showed that the ddNACT regimen could improve the pathological complete response rate (pCR, P<0.001), objective response rate (ORR, P<0.001), and disease free survival (DFS, P=0.037) as compared with the cNACT regimen, there was no significant difference in the overall survival (OS) between the two groups (P=0.098). The incidences of grade 3 or 4 oral stomatitis (P=0.005) and neurotoxicity (P<0.001) were higher and the incidence of grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was lower (P=0.025) in the patients with ddNACT regimen, there were no significant differences in grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia (P=0.152), grade 3 or 4 anemia (P=0.123), chemotherapy completion rate (P=0.161) and breast conservative surgery rate (P=0.186) between the two groups. Patients with hormone receptor (HR) negative (HR–) were more likely to get pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P<0.001). ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that the use of anthracycline/taxane-based ddNACT regimen in LABC patients can improve the pCR, ORR, and DFS as compared with cNACT regimen. The pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the patients with HR– is higher than that with HR+. Prophylactic use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor could significantly reduce the incidence of neutropenia, and most patients are tolerant to ddNACT regimen, 2 regimens have similar chemotherapy completion rates.
Platform daytime chemotherapy means that the hospital sets up a fixed area for daytime chemotherapy, and all patients with daytime chemotherapy are treated in the same area. The platform daytime chemotherapy center has the advantages of further optimizing the limited hospital resources, reducing the consumption of medical resources, and improving the efficiency of bed use and patient satisfaction. Its construction is the further sublimation of tumor treatment concept, harmonious relationship between doctors and patients, and humanistic care. This article shares the construction experience of the platform daytime chemotherapy center from the definition, orientation, operation mechanism, ward configuration, drug access, patient access and management mode, and puts forward suggestions that the promotion of the platform daytime chemotherapy center should be carried out from the aspects of policy support, hospital vigorously promoting and self-management breakthrough.
ObjectivesTo compare the efficacy and safety of weekly nedaplatin compared with weekly cisplatin as postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy scheme for cervical cancer patients.MethodsThis trial was performed in the Department of Radiation Oncology in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from June 2016 to January 2017. A total of 200 patients with stage ⅠB1-ⅡB cervical cancer were randomly assigned to the nedaplatin group and the cisplatin group after signing informed content. The dose of nedaplatin or cisplatin ranged 35 to 40 mg/m2, once a week for 5 weeks. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy or three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy were used for patients. The progression-free survival, overall survival and adverse reactions were compared between two groups. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 24.0 software.ResultsA total of 105 patients were enrolled in the nedaplatin group, and 95 patients were in cisplatin group. The three-year progression-free survival rate was 80.5% vs. 79.5% in the nedaplatin group and the cisplatin group, respectively; and no statistical significant difference was found (χ2=0.198, P=0.656) between two groups. The 3-year overall survival rates were 72.5% and 69.9% for the nedaplatin group and the cisplatin group, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=0.261, P=0.609). The incidence of grade 3/4 nausea and vomiting in the nedaplatin group was 6.67%, which was significantly lower than that of 15.79% in the cisplatin group, and statistical significant difference was found (χ2=2.555, P=0.011); however, the incidence of grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia in the nedaplatin group was 9.52%, which was significantly higher than that in the cisplatin group (3.15%); and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=1.985, P=0.047). There was no difference in the incidence of adverse reactions such as anemia, neutropenia, and radiological proctitis in both groups.ConclusionsNedaplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy has similar efficacy compared to cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and it could significantly reduce the digestive tract reaction, which can be used as an alternative to cisplatin.
Objective To explore the incidence and severity of symptoms of the lung cancer patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiation therapy, and reveal the influence of symptom clusters on the patients’ daily activities. Method From December 2016 to June 2017, a total of 150 patients with lung cancer who underwent concurrent chemoradiation therapy were investigated by using M. D. Anderson Symptom Inventory of Chinese Version and the revised lung cancer module. Results For the patients during the period of concurrent chemoradiation therapy, the symptoms with severity score >5 were fatigue, nausea, poor appetite, cough, distress, disturbed sleep, vomiting, expectoration, and grief; the symptoms with incidence >80% were fatigue, nausea, disturbed sleep, poor appetite, grief, and cough. Joy of life (87.33%), emotion (74.38%), and work (72.67%) were the top three in terms of high incidence of symptom distress. Exploratry factor analysis revealed 4 major symptom clusters, which were fatigue-related symptom cluster, gastrointestinal symptom cluster, emotion symptom cluster, and respiratory symptom cluster. Conclusions During the period of concurrent chemoradiation therapy, lung cancer patients suffer from multiple symptom clusters. Medical staff should assess symptoms timely, and provide effective interventions, to improve the patients’ quality of life.
ObjectiveTo analyze whether neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy can impact patients’ anal function and quality of life after rectal cancer surgery.MethodThe domestic and international publications on the studies how the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy impacted patients’ anal function and quality of life were collected and reviewed.ResultsThe neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy negatively impacted the patients’ anal function and quality of life, but which would be improved over time. The impact had no obvious difference between the long-course chemoradiotherapy and short-couse radiotherapy on the patients’ anal function and quality of life. Compared with the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, the neoadjuvant chemotherapy might impact less on the anal function, but which still needed to evaluate the lower anterior resection syndrome (LARS) score. In present, it lacked evidence of a higher rate of anastomotic leakage caused by the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, which might lead to the bowel dysfunction.ConclusionsNeoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy negatively impacts patients’ anal function and quality of life. Further studies are needed to figure out the best choice between long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and short-couse radiotherapy. In long term, impact of neoadjuvant therapy can be improved over time and be accepted by patients. Some intervention treatments including medicine and operations are needed if major LARS occurs.
