The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of Dorzagliatin in a larger population of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients by collecting the post-marketing clinical safety data of Dorzagliatin.
Burn rehabilitation management is dependent on the patients themselves, non-treatment adherence may delay the optimal timing of burn rehabilitation and it may not be regained easily. The inevitable sequelae of increasing joint stiffness and tethered soft-tissue glide become more devastating over time. It has a major impact on clinical outcomes such as scarring, deformity and dysfunction, which result in lower quality of life compared to general population There is a growing body of research on patient-centered interventions including the concept of self-management. Such phenomenon is consistent with burn patients' needs at aftercare. The proposed smartphone self-management program is to change the paradigm from paternalistic to collaborative relationship. Self-management is to build up patient equipping ability in problem solving, decision making, and appropriate use of resources and has led to improved patient engagement, adherence, and better quality of care. The investigators hypothesize that, upon intervention completion and compared with the control group, burn patients in the intervention group will report: 1. Higher level of health-related quality of life, 2. Higher level of self-efficacy 3. Higher level of score in Burn Rehabilitation Knowledge 4. Lower pain level, as measured by Numeric Pain Rating Scale; and 5. Lower level of itchiness The desired smart phone assisted self-management intervention will be carried out by principal investigator to selected adult burn patients before discharge and post discharge period. Before discharge, ward nurses will provide discharge pamphlet and individual face to face education to both groups as usual care. After discharge, instant messaging supportive enquiry service will be provided to both groups via smartphone apps. For intervention group, principal investigator will assess subject health care needs prior to intervention. Two extra sessions, 20 minutes, face to face, individual self-management education with aid of computer, track log sheet will be provided to intervention group. Concept of motivational interviewing will be incorporated as complement teaching strategy to facilitate self-management learning. Principal investigator will be responsible to deliver burn self-management education upon discharge. Intervention group will receive "Rehabilitation Booklet for Burn Patients" upon discharge. After discharge, only intervention group subject receives two sessions, 10 minutes, telephone follow up calls and five personalized chat-based messaging follow up will be provided. Besides that, self-management education information will be delivered to intervention group via instant messaging service as well. Ad-hoc instant messaging support will be provided to both groups if required.
Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (POGD), often referred to as postoperative ileus (POI) after colorectal surgery, is characterized by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and delayed bowel movements. The incidence of this issue varies among medical institutions, impacting patient nutrition, prolonging hospital stays, and increasing healthcare costs. The complex pathogenesis of POGD involves a brief neurogenic phase (within 3 hours) and a more prolonged inflammatory phase (beginning at 3-4 hours and lasting for days). The inflammatory phase is crucial and is recognized as initiated by mast cells and damage-associated molecular patterns that activate macrophages in the intestinal muscle layer. Subsequently, it triggers a series of cascading inflammation reactions through the release of inflammatory factors and recruitment of inflammatory cells, which contributes to the development and exacerbation of POGD. Studies have demonstrated changes in inflammatory cells and factors in the abdominal fluid following abdominal surgery, emphasizing the clinical significance of analyzing drainage fluid to predict postoperative gastrointestinal function. This study analyzes inflammatory markers in drainage fluid following laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. The aim is to enhance the accuracy of predicting gastrointestinal recovery outcomes and contribute to the evolving field of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS).
According to the cancer statistics in 2020, colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major public health issue worldwide, representing the third common cancer (10%) and second leading cause of death (9.4%) with 5-year survival rate approaching 65%. Meanwhile, 28.8% of the newly diagnosed cases and 30.3% of the CRC-related death occurs in China. Among all the CRC, stage I-III account for 75%. For the standard management for non-late stage(stage I-III) CRC patients, surgery including the primary site and local lymph nodes dissection has been the most important one. But for the high-risk stage II and locally-advanced stage III CRC, neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy plays a vital role in preventing the residual cancer cells to relapse and spread to distant sites after surgery. For the past decades, immunotherapy like anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 checkpoint inhibitor achieves great process in solid tumor treatment especially for late-stage CRC. And Pembrolizumab and Nivolumab has been proved for dMMR/MSI-H late-stage-CRC by FDA. Combination of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab has achieved great success among the early-stage-CRC in NICHE study. The investigators here to carry out a phase II clinical trial to explore the safety and effect of single anti-PD-1 (Tisleizumab-BGB-A317 ) neoadjuvant treatment for non-late stage CRC patients.
Trigeminal herpetic neuralgia is a common type of Zoster-associated Pain (ZAP), which troubles individuals in all ages and burdens society all over the world. Eleactroaupuncture (EA) is increasingly used in the treatment of ZAP due to its advantages such as low price, high safety, no adverse reactions, and high patient acceptance. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EA on ZAP and whether EA can be used as a substitute for pregabalin.
Abdominal lymph node metastasis (LNM) is one of the major modes of extrahepatic metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoints combined with targeted therapy is the standard treatment for HCC with abdominal LNM, but the outcome remains very poor, with an objective response rate of 5% to 30%. Previous studies have demonstrated that stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an effective local treatment for HCC with abdominal LNM, with a high response rate of 60% to 80%. However, intrahepatic dissemination and distant metastasis remains the major recurrence pattern after SBRT in these patients, suggesting radiotherapy should be combined with systematic treatment. Recently, the combination of immunotherapy with SBRT has shown promising activity in HCC. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of SBRT followed by adebrelimab (an anti-PD-L1 antibody) and lenvatinib in HCC patients with portal abdominal LNM.
Recent years have seen significant advancements in the treatment landscape of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with the emergence of targeted and immunotherapy strategies reshaping first-line therapy. Sorafenib, a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, initially set the standard, followed by approvals for lenvatinib, regorafenib, cabozantinib, and ramucirumab. Immunotherapy, particularly combinations like atezolizumab with bevacizumab, has shown superior efficacy over sorafenib. Despite these advances, second-line therapies offer limited progression-free survival (mPFS: 2-3 months), necessitating new approaches. Radiotherapy, bolstered by technological advancements, has shown promise. Techniques like stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) combined with PD-1 inhibitors achieve significant response rates and survival benefits. Combining radiotherapy with targeted immunotherapy has also demonstrated improved outcomes. Radiotherapy, especially in oligometastatic HCC, is increasingly favored due to its ability to enhance local control without increasing toxicity. These developments underscore the evolving landscape of HCC treatment towards personalized and multimodal approaches.
