AimThis systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) undergoing treatment with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy.MethodsThe search for relevant literature was conducted across PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, with the final search date being October 4, 2023. We utilized the weighted mean differences (WMDs), risk ratios (RRs), or Hazard ratios (HRs) as the metric for effect sizes, which were accompanied by 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsA total of 9 studies were included for analysis. The results indicated that non-obese patients with mCRC undergoing treatment with bevacizumab experienced a reduced overall survival (OS) at the six-month compared to their obese counterparts (RR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94 to 1.00, p = 0.047). Furthermore, no significant differences in one-year, two-year, and five-year OS, as well as PFS and median OS, were observed between obese and non-obese mCRC patients undergoing treatment with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy.ConclusionThese findings suggest that obesity may play a role in the short-term OS of patients with mCRC undergoing bevacizumab treatment. The clinical implications of these findings underscore the importance of considering patients’ BMI in the context of mCRC care. This study may also help guide personalized treatment strategies and further research into the interplay between obesity, treatment efficacy, and patient survival in mCRC. However, further investigation is warranted to substantiate the findings of this study.

Objective To observe the effect of palliative care mode based on death education on negative emotions and quality of life in patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods Ninety patients with advanced gastric cancer treated at Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Harbin Medical University from March 2014 to March 2015 were selected and were divided into a study group and a control group according to the random digital table method with 45 cases in each group.The study group were given palliative nursing mode based on death education while the control group were given routine nursing mode.Negative emotions and quality of life were observed in the two groups.Results The SAS scores and SDS scores decreased in both groups after nursing compared with those before nursing (P < 0.05),with the study group lower than the control group (P < 0.05).The scores of quality of life at each function level increased in both groups after nursing compared with before nursing (P < 0.05),with the study group significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion The palliative care mode based on death education can effectively improve the negative emotions and increase the quality of life in patients with advanced gastric cancer.
Objective Two-incision video-assisted thoracic surger relieved post operative pain when compared with open thoractomy ,while it is rarely reported worldwide ,most thoracic surgeons think it is hard to finish the complicated operation and it is not safe .We compared the safety between open and two -incision VATS.Methods Bwteen Febrary 2009 to December 2011 ,a total of 334 cases with clinical early -staged lung cancer of open thoracotomy were performed ,66 cases were completely performed with 2-incision VATS,17 cases were transferred to open thoracotomy defined as two -incision VATS assisted thoracotomy .We compared and ana-lyzed open thoracotomy with two -incision VATS in operating time ,and pre,post and total period of hospitaliza-tion,postoperative chest tube removal time ,postoperative complications .Results Operating time in the left lower lobe of both traditional open thoracotomy and two -incision VATS was 162.5 ±6.5 and 185.8 ±12.8 minutes re-spectively(P=0.1228),there was no statistical significance for the remaining parts of the lobectomy ,the operat-ing time of open thoracotomy was shorter than two -incision VATS.The overall complication and perioperative mortality rate of open thoracotomy and two -incision VATS were 10.2% and 15.0%(P=0.238),and 2.0%and 0.0%(P=1.000)respectively,there was no statistical significance.Conclusion The lobectomy and lymph node dissections for 2-incision VATS in treating clinical stage I lung cancer is feasible and safe .
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), a promising modality for cancer treatment, involves the synergistic interaction of ultrasound and some chemical compounds termed sonosensitizers. However, its effect on pancreatic cancer cells remains unclear. In our study, we sought to identify the cytotoxic effects of ultrasound-activated 5-aminolevulinic acid on human pancreatic cancer Capan-1 cells. Cell viability was determined by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide) analysis; mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed using the fluorescent probe jc-1; apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry; cell morphology was investigated by scanning electron microscopy; apoptosis-related protein expression was analyzed by Western blot assay. We found that SDT significantly decreased the survival rate of cells, and this effect increased with 5-aminolevulinic acid concentration and ultrasound exposure time. The mechanism underlying the effect of SDT involves, in part, the induction of a conspicuous loss in mitochondrial membrane potential and, in part, the induction of apoptosis through upregulation of Bax expression, downregulation of Bcl-2 and increased activation of procaspase-3. These results indicate that the ultrasonically induced cell killing effect could be enhanced by 5-ALA and that the mitochondrial pathway might be involved in the cell damage process. We conclude that SDT is a promising new methodology for pancreatic cancer treatment.
Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new treatment for esophageal cancer which has been shown to be effective in the elimination of tumor. However, PDT could induce the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in many photosensitizers based PDT, which plays a negative role in PDT. In addition, our previous results have shown that dihydroartemisinin (DHA), which was the most potent one of artemisinin derivatives, has anticancer activity in esophageal cancer cells. Methods: Cell viability was determined by MTT analysis, and apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry. Nuclear extract was obtained for determining NF-κB DNA-binding activity, while total protein extract obtained for downstream gene expression by western blot. Results: We demonstrated DHA enhanced PDT-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in both human esophageal cancer cell lines Eca109 and Ec9706 in vitro. The mechanism was at least partially due to DHA deactivated PDT-induced NF-κB activation, so as to decrease tremendously the expression of its target gene Bcl-2. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that DHA augments PDT-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in esophageal cancer cells, and that inactivation of NF-κB activity is a potential mechanism by which DHA sensitizes esophageal cancer cells to PDT-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis.
Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) has recently been shown anti-tumor activity in various cancer cells. However, its effect on esophageal cancer remains unclear. In this study, for the first time, we demonstrated that DHA reduced viability of esophageal cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. The mechanism was at least partially due to DHA induced apoptosis by upregulating the expression of Bax, downregulating Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Procaspase-3, and increasing caspase-9 activation, induced cell cycle arrest by downregulating cyclin E, CDK2 and CDK4. Furthermore, we firstly found that DHA induced autophagy in cancer cells. We concluded DHA might be a novel agent against esophageal cancer.
