ObjectiveTo discuss the value of dual-source CT Flash scanning in reducing the dose of radiation in 3D cardiac imaging. MethodWe collected 60 patients from March to August 2014 who should undergo cardiac 3D CT scanning before radiofrequency ablation. They were randomly divided into group A and B with 30 in each. Patients in group A underwent flash technology scanning, while those in group B accepted conventional retrospective electrocardiography-gated scanning. CARE Dose techniques were used to collect data. Scanning parameters were the same for both groups:collimation was 128×0.6 mm, reconstruction thickness was 0.75 mm, reconstruction interval was 0.7 mm, and field of view was 180-200 mm. After image acquisition, we measured the CT values and noise of left atrium and various branches of the pulmonary veins (upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right). Statistical software was used for the two groups of images to analyze the carrier noise ratio (CNR), signal noise ratio (SNR), blinded scores, computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol), and dose-length product (DLP) of the left atrium and pulmonary vein. ResultsCNR and SNR of the left atrium and various pulmonary veins between the two groups had no significant differences (P>0.05) . Blinded scores between the two groups were not significantly different (P>0.05) . CTDIvol in group A and group B was respectively (2.92±0.38) and (20.15±12.09) mGy, with a significant difference (t=?7.803, P<0.001) . DLP of group A was (59.30±6.67) mGy·cm, significantly lower than that in group B [(334.43±216.71) mGy·cm] (t=?6.591, P<0.001) . Flash-efficient radiation dose was (0.83±0.94) mSv in group A, far below that in group B [(4.53±3.03) msv], and the difference was statistically significant (t=?6.684, P<0.001) . ConclusionsDual-source CT Flash technology applied in 3D cardiac scanning can reduce radiation dose as well as meet the needs of image diagnosis.

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.
ObjectiveTo further evaluate the relation between usage of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and the risk of pancreatic cancer. MethodThe observational studies were systematically searched in the databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP. The combined odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of pancreatic cancer risk were estimated by the corresponding effect model according to the heterogeneous results, and the subgroup analysis, meta-regression, and sensitivity analysis were performed. In addition, the relation between the defined daily dose (DDD) and usage time of PPI and the pancreatic cancer risk were studied by using restricted cubic spline. ResultsA total of 14 studies were included, including 1 601 430 subjects. The meta-analysis result showed that usage of PPI was positively correlated with the risk of pancreatic cancer [I2=98.9%, OR (95%CI)=1.60 (1.21, 2.11), P<0.001]. The subgroup analysis results showed that usage of PPI would increase the risk of pancreatic cancer in the subgroups of literature published before 2018 [OR (95%CI)=1.88 (1.05, 3.38), P=0.034], non-Asian regions [OR (95%CI)=1.37 (1.04, 1.82), P=0.028], case-control studies [OR (95%CI)=1.59 (1.16, 2.18), P=0.004], cohort studies [OR (95%CI)=1.65 (1.13, 2.39), P=0.009], and high-quality studies [OR (95%CI)=1.62 (1.19, 2.20), P=0.002]. The dose-response curve showed that there was a nonlinear relation between the usage of PPI and the risk of pancreatic cancer (χ2linear=2.27, P=0.132; Pnonlinear=0.039). When the usage of PPI was 800 DDD or less, usage of PPI would increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, but there was no statistical significance when the usage of PPI was more than 800 DDD. The time-effect curve showed that there was a linear relation between the usage time of PPI and the risk of pancreatic cancer (χ2linear=6.92, P=0.009), and the risk of pancreatic cancer would increase by 2.3% if the usage of PPI increased by one month [OR=1.02, 95%CI (1.01, 1.04), P=0.009]. The sensitivity analysis confirmed that the results were stable by gradually eliminating each study, the OR (95%CI) of the risk of pancreatic cancer was 1.37 (1.08, 1.74) to 1.66 (1.22, 2.27), and the publication bias was not found by Egger test (P=0.594).ConclusionsFrom the results of this meta-analysis, usage of PPI will increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, and the dosage of PPI and usage time of PPI may be related to the risk of pancreatic cancer. The clinical usage of PPI should be strictly controlled, and the dosage and usage time should also be carefully considered.
Objective To explore value of multidisciplinary team (MDT) model in diagnosis and treatment of patients with advanced special thyroid cancer who lost chance of operation. Method Two patients with the advanced special thyroid cancer who lost chance of operation were treated by low dose apatinib (250 mg/d) after the MDT discussion. Results One medullary thyroid cancer patient with the compressing of the trachea for mediastinal metastatic lymphadenopathy and inability to lie down underwent the multiple surgical treatment, the therapeutic effect was poor. Then low dose apatinib (250 mg/d) was performed, the patient could supine, breathe smoothly, and move freely, whose life quality was obviously improved, the mediastinal lymph nodes reduced and no serious drug toxicity occurred on month 1 after the treatment. One undifferentiated thyroid cancer patient with the lung metastasis, hemoptysis, and tumor invasion resulted in the inability to lie down and having difficulty in breathing, these symptoms still existed and more pleural effusion occurred after the resection of the invaded trachea. Then low dose apatinib (250 mg/d) was performed, the patient could supine, the pleural effusion disappeared, the hemoptysis stopped, the breathing was smooth, and could do some minor housework, no drug toxicity occurred on month 1 after the treatment. Conclusion After MDT discussion, low dose apatinib in treatment of advanced special thyroid cancer is reliable and safe and has a good short-term effect, which could be used as a new remedy, but long-term effect should be further researched by increasing case samples and a long-term following-up.
According to the heterogeneity between dose-response data across different studies and the potential nonlinear trend within the dose-response relationship, there are several models for trend estimation from summarized dose-response data, with applications to meta-analysis. However, up to now, there is no guideline of conducting a metaanalysis of dose-response data. After summarizing the previous papers, this paper focuses on how to select the right model for conducting a meta-analysis of dose-response data based on the heterogeneity across different studies, the goodness of fit, and the P value of overall association between exposure and event. Then a preliminary statistical process of conducting a meta-analysis of dose-response data is proposed.
