The correlation between intimate relationship, self-disclosure, and adaptability among colorectal cancer enterostomy patients.

The postoperative physiological changes and psychological pressure of cancer patients affect the patient's adaptability to the disease, and thus affect the spousal intimate relationship. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between spousal intimate relationship, self-disclosure, and adaptability among colorectal cancer (CCI) patients with enteric stoma.This cross-sectional study selected patients with CCI in Henan Province from February 2018 to October 2020.

Hand-assisted sputum excretion can effectively reduce postoperative pulmonary complications of esophageal cancer.

Background: This study explores whether postoperative hand-assisted expectoration can reduce postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients with esophageal cancer.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 543 patients undergoing radical esophageal cancer (EC) surgery in our hospital from October 2018 to August 2019, 156 of whom received postoperative handassisted sputum excretion (pulmonary rehabilitation, PR) and 387 of whom who did not receive postoperative hand-assisted sputum excretion (no pulmonary rehabilitation, NPR). Because the clinical characteristics of the two groups were not balanced, we used propensity score matching (PSM) to account for the variable factors of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), chronic respiratory comorbidity, smoking index, operation time, operation method, pathological stage.

Effect of Chin-down-plus-larynx-tightening maneuver on swallowing function after minimally invasive esophagectomy: A randomized controlled trail.

Background: The incidence of swallowing abnormality was high after minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for esophageal cancer (EC). Few reports, however, focused on interventions for dysphagia after esophagectomy.

Aim: The purpose of this research was to estimate the effect of Chin-down-plus-larynx-tightening maneuver on swallowing function for patients receiving esophagectomy.

Construction and validation of a seven-microRNA signature as a prognostic tool for lung squamous cell carcinoma.

The aim of this study was to construct and validate a microRNA (miR)-based signature as a prognostic tool for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). With the use of mature miR expression profiles downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, we identified differentially expressed miRs between LUSC and matched healthy lung tissue. Thereafter, we carried out an evaluation of the association of differentially expressed miRs with overall survival (OS) with the use of univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.

[Application of three-stitch preventive transverse colostomy in anterior resection of low rectal cancer].

Objective: To explore the application of three-stitch preventive transverse colostomy in anterior resection of low rectal cancer.

Method: From May 2015 to March 2016, 70 consecutive low rectal cancer patients undergoing anterior resection and preventive transverse colostomy in our department were recruited in this prospective study. According to the random number table method, 70 patients were divided into three-stitch transverse colostomy group(observation group, n=35) and traditional transverse colostomy group(control group, n=35).
