While exercise is recommended for managing CRF during pre-and active treatment phases, evidence supporting its efficacy in advanced stage remains limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the effects of exercise on CRF and its common complications in patients with advanced lung cancer.Methods: A systematic search of 4 databases(Pub Med, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science) was conducted up to July 10, 2024 to identify relevant randomized controlled trials(RCTs). Studies were selected based on predefined eligibility criteria, including adult patients with advanced lung cancer reporting fatigue as an outcome. Study selection followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses(PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, and the risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool(Ro B 2.0). The quality of evidence was evaluated with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation(GRADE) system. Random-or fixed-effects models were used for meta-analyses based on heterogeneity levels.Results: Eight RCTs involving 749 patients were included. Meta-analysis revealed that exercise significantly improved CRF in patients with advanced lung cancer(standardized mean difference(SMD) =-0.33;95% confidence interval(95%CI):-0.54 to-0.12);p = 0.00;I2= 0.00%).Subgroup analysis showed greater efficacy in patients aged ≤60 years(p = 0.028), those engaging in traditional Chinese exercise(p = 0.003),and interventions lasting fewer than 12 weeks(p = 0.017). Exercise also significantly improved quality of life(SMD = 0.29;95%CI: 0.02-0.55;p = 0.04;I2= 0.00%) and reduced dyspnea(SMD =-0.43;95%CI:-0.71 to-0.16;p = 0.00;I2= 0.00%). No significant effects were observed on sleep quality, anxiety, or depression. The risk of bias across studies was moderate, and the quality of evidence, as evaluated by GRADE, was rated as low due to study limitations. Adverse events were minimal, with only one mild, exercise-related event reported.Conclusion: Exercise significantly alleviates CRF in patients with advanced lung cancer, improves certain complications, and enhances quality of life. The intervention's effectiveness varies by age, type of exercise, and duration. Further high-quality studies are needed to validate these findings.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Owing to the absence of specific symptoms in early-stage gastric cancer,most patients are diagnosed at intermediate or advanced stages.As a result,treatment often shifts from surgery to other therapies,with chemotherapy and targeted therapies being the primary options for advanced gastric cancer treatment.A total of 116 patients with advanced gastric cancer,admitted from January 2021 to December 2023,were selected and divided into two groups of 58 each using the random number table method.The control group received FOLFOX4 chemothe-rapy(oxaliplatin+calcium+folinate+5-fluorouracil)combined with intravenous sindilizumab.The observation group received the same treatment as the control group,supplemented by oral administration of Senqi Shiyiwei granules.Both groups underwent treatment cycles of 3 weeks,with a minimum of two cycles.The therapeutic efficacy,immune mechanisms,and treatment-related toxicity and side effects were compared between the groups.The objective remission rate in the observation group(55.17%)was higher than that of the control group(36.21%)(P<0.05).After two treatment cycle,CD3+,CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+levels were higher in the observation group compared to the control group,while CD8+,regulatory T cells,and natural killer cells were lower(P<0.05).Additionally,the incidence of leukopenia,nausea,and vomiting was lower in observed group(P<0.05).No significant differences were observed in the incidence of other adverse reactions(P>0.05).CONCLUSION Adjuvant therapy with Shenqixian granules may enhance the efficacy of simudizumab combined with FOLFOX4 chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer and the immune function by increasing immune cell counts,making it a valuable option in clinical treatment.

文摘Carbon fibers(CFs)with notable comprehensive properties,such as light weight,high specific strength,and stiffness,have garnered considerable interest in both academic and industrial fields due to their diverse and advanced applications.However,the commonly utilized precursors,such as polyacrylonitrile and pitch,exhibit a lack of environmental sustainability,and their costs are heavily reliant on fluctuating petroleum prices.To meet the substantial market demand for CFs,significant efforts have been made to develop cost-effective and sustainable CFs derived from biomass.Lignin,the most abundant polyphenolic compound in nature,is emerging as a promising precursor which is well-suited for the production of CFs due to its renewable nature,low cost,high carbon content,and aromatic structures.Nevertheless,the majority of lignin raw materials are currently derived from pulping and biorefining industrial by-products,which are diverse and heterogeneous in nature,restricting the industrialization of lignin-derived CFs.This review classifies fossil-derived and biomass-derived CFs,starting from the sources and chemical structures of raw lignin,and outlines the preparation methods linked to the performance of lignin-derived CFs.A comprehensive discussion is presented on the relationship between the structural characteristics of lignin,spinning preparation,and structure-morphology-property of ligninderived CFs.Additionally,the potential applications of these materials in various domains,including energy,catalysis,composites,and other advanced products,are also described with the objective of spotlighting the unique merits of lignin.Finally,the current challenges faced and future prospects for the advancement of lignin-derived CFs are proposed.

文摘Efficient and innovative nano-catalytic oxidation technologies offer a breakthrough in removing emerging contaminants(ECs)from water,surpassing the limitations of traditional methods.Environmental functional materials(EFMs),particularly high-end oxidation systems using eco-friendly nanomaterials,show promise for absorbing and degrading ECs.This literature review presents a comprehensive analysis of diverse traditional restoration techniques-biological,physical,and chemical-assessing their respective applications and limitations in pesticide-contaminated water purification.Through meticulous comparison,we unequivocally advocate for the imperative integration of environmentally benign nanomaterials,notably titanium-based variants,in forthcoming methodologies.Our in-depth exploration scrutinizes the catalytic efficacy,underlying mechanisms,and adaptability of pioneering titanium-based nanomaterials across a spectrum of environmental contexts.Additionally,strategic recommendations are furnished to surmount challenges and propel the frontiers of implementing eco-friendly nanomaterials in practical water treatment scenarios.
文摘BACKGROUND The 5-year survival rate for patients with pancreatic cancer(PC)is 4%-12%.Surgery is the only treatment that offers curative potential,but only 15%-20%of patients are eligible for surgery.PC is prone to recurrence and metastasis,and the antitumor effect of chemotherapy is notably limited.CASE SUMMARY Histopathological analysis of a 53-year-old female PC patient who underwent Whipple surgery revealed poorly differentiated tumor cells infiltrating nerves,lymphatics,and blood vessels.The patient received two different first-line chemotherapy regimens consecutively;however,both regimens struggled to control disease progression.During this period,the patient underwent liver metastasis ablation surgery,Candida albicans liver abscess,and stereotactic body radiotherapy.With the addition of camrelizumab to the modified FOLFIRINOX regimen,tumor control was achieved.The patient subsequently refused to continue chemotherapy,and the antitumor regimen was changed to a combination of camrelizumab and apatinib.After patients received a combination of immunotherapy and targeted therapy,the length of hospital stay was significantly reduced.Furthermore,all side effects were within acceptable limits,leading to an improved quality of life and prolonged progression-free survival.Unfortunately,the pain associated with cancer,coupled with the side effects of opioid analgesics,has led the patient to reject all available anticancer treatment options.Approximately one month after camrelizumab and apatinib were discontinued without medical authorization,the PC recurred and rapidly progressed to widespread metastasis,ultimately leading to the patient's death approximately one month later.The overall survival was 2 years.CONCLUSION Immunotherapy and targeted therapy have the potential to increase both the quality of life and survival time of PC patients,particularly those whose tumor progression is not effectively controlled by chemotherapy alone.Nevertheless,further clinical trials are necessary to validate these findings.

文摘BACKGROUND Chemotherapy combined with anti-angiogenic therapy has become an important strategy for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer(AGC);however,the regimen needs optimization.AIM To evaluate the efficacy of albumin-bound paclitaxel(nab-ptx)combined with the small molecule vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor anlotinib in secondline and beyond treatment of AGC.METHODS We collected data from AGC patients at our hospital who experienced disease progression after first-line chemotherapy and received anlotinib combined with nab-ptx.The primary endpoints included overall survival(OS)and progressionfree survival(PFS),while the secondary endpoints were objective response rate(ORR),disease control rate(DCR),and adverse events(AEs).RESULTS Preliminary results indicated that anlotinib combined with nab-ptx can provide significant efficacy in second-line or above treatment for AGC(median PFS=6.0 months,median OS=12.0 months),with an ORR of 42%and a DCR of 78%.Further analysis revealed that patients who experienced hypertension,proteinuria,and hand-foot syndrome during treatment had better efficacy compared to those who did not experience these AEs.Mechanistic studies suggest that this regimen likely exerts synergistic anti-tumor effects by activating the immune response through the reduction of regulatory T-cell proportions.Common adverse reactions included bone marrow suppression,peripheral neuropathy,hypertension,proteinuria,and hand-foot syndrome,which were manageable and resolved with appropriate interventions,indicating the promising application of this regimen in second-line or above treatment for AGC.CONCLUSION The combination of anlotinib and nab-ptx shows promising efficacy with fewer toxicities in AGC treatment.The regimen holds promise as a second-line treatment of AGC;however,its specific clinical value requires further research.

文摘Background: Cancer-related fatigue(CRF) is a significant burden for patients with advanced lung cancer. While exercise is recommended for managing CRF during pre-and active treatment phases, evidence supporting its efficacy in advanced stage remains limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the effects of exercise on CRF and its common complications in patients with advanced lung cancer.Methods: A systematic search of 4 databases(Pub Med, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science) was conducted up to July 10, 2024 to identify relevant randomized controlled trials(RCTs). Studies were selected based on predefined eligibility criteria, including adult patients with advanced lung cancer reporting fatigue as an outcome. Study selection followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses(PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, and the risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool(Ro B 2.0). The quality of evidence was evaluated with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation(GRADE) system. Random-or fixed-effects models were used for meta-analyses based on heterogeneity levels.Results: Eight RCTs involving 749 patients were included. Meta-analysis revealed that exercise significantly improved CRF in patients with advanced lung cancer(standardized mean difference(SMD) =-0.33;95% confidence interval(95%CI):-0.54 to-0.12);p = 0.00;I2= 0.00%).Subgroup analysis showed greater efficacy in patients aged ≤60 years(p = 0.028), those engaging in traditional Chinese exercise(p = 0.003),and interventions lasting fewer than 12 weeks(p = 0.017). Exercise also significantly improved quality of life(SMD = 0.29;95%CI: 0.02-0.55;p = 0.04;I2= 0.00%) and reduced dyspnea(SMD =-0.43;95%CI:-0.71 to-0.16;p = 0.00;I2= 0.00%). No significant effects were observed on sleep quality, anxiety, or depression. The risk of bias across studies was moderate, and the quality of evidence, as evaluated by GRADE, was rated as low due to study limitations. Adverse events were minimal, with only one mild, exercise-related event reported.Conclusion: Exercise significantly alleviates CRF in patients with advanced lung cancer, improves certain complications, and enhances quality of life. The intervention's effectiveness varies by age, type of exercise, and duration. Further high-quality studies are needed to validate these findings.
文摘Objective:To observe the control effect of interventional therapy combined with lenvatinib and sintilimab in patients with intermediate and advanced liver cancer.Methods:82 patients with intermediate and advanced liver cancer who visited from January 2022 to January 2025 were selected as samples and randomly divided into two groups.Group A received interventional therapy combined with lenvatinib and sintilimab,while Group B received interventional therapy combined with lenvatinib.Disease remission rate,adverse reactions,liver function indicators,and tumor marker indicators were compared between the two groups.Results:The disease control rate(DCR)in Group A was higher than that in Group B(P<0.05).There was no difference in adverse reaction rates between Group A and Group B(P>0.05).Total bilirubin(TBil),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)levels in Group A were lower than those in Group B(P<0.05).Carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),alpha-fetoprotein(AFP),and alpha-L-fucosidase(AFU)levels in Group A were also lower than those in Group B(P<0.05).Conclusion:Intermediate and advanced liver cancer patients receiving interventional therapy combined with lenvatinib and sintilimab showed reduced tumor marker levels,lessened liver function damage,and a high disease control rate and treatment safety.
