Objective: To explore the impact of postoperative recovery and short term quality of life in the patients with colorectal cancer in fast track model.
Methods: There were 122 patients enrolled into this prospective study in Gastrointestinal Surgery Center, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, from October 2008 to January 2009, and 121 patients completed the whole study. The patients were divided into the fast track group (62 cases) and the tradition track group (59 cases), postoperative recovery and the QLQ-C30 scores were evaluated at one week after the surgery.
Results: The fast track group showed earlier recovery than the tradition group in first aerofluxus [(3.96 +/- 1.40) d vs. (5.66 +/- 3.11) d, P < 0.05], first intake [(3.12 +/- 1.93) d vs. (5.96 +/- 3.23) d, P < 0.05], first ambulation [(2.05 +/- 1.16) d vs. (5.13 +/- 1.36) d, P < 0.05] and in-hospital time post-operation [(7.85 +/- 5.31) d vs. (10.11 +/- 3.37) d, P < 0.05]. The incidence of wound infection (1.61% vs. 6.78%, P < 0.05) and intestinal obstruction (1.61% vs. 8.47%, P < 0.05) in fast track were significantly lower than those in the traditional track group. The general health of fast track in C30 is better too (80.46 +/- 15.54 vs. 76.58 +/- 15.28, P < 0.05). In the functional assessment of C30, the physical function (87.35 +/- 5.12 vs. 85.02 +/- 8.70, P < 0.05) and emotional function (90.00 +/- 0.00 vs. 85.35 +/- 12.39, P < 0.05) both were better in the fast track group. In the symptom assessment of C30, fast track group is less fatigue (71.70 +/- 2.86 vs. 87.12 +/- 10.80, P < 0.05) and pain (71.78 +/- 3.76 vs. 77.63 +/- 8.33, P < 0.05). Better sleep (75.78 +/- 11.68 vs. 82.70 +/- 19.40, P < 0.05) and less loss of appetite(73.24 +/- 8.60 vs. 78.02 +/- 16.42, P < 0.05) were found in fast track group.
Conclusion: The fast track group manifested faster in postoperative recovery and can improve the quality of life in postoperative patients with colorectal cancer.

Gene therapy has long been a cornerstone in the treatment of rare diseases and genetic disorders, offering targeted solutions to conditions once considered untreatable. As the field advances, its transformative potential is now expanding into oncology, where personalized therapies address the genetic and immune-related complexities of cancer. This review highlights innovative therapeutic strategies, including gene replacement, gene silencing, oncolytic virotherapy, CAR-T cell therapy, and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, with a focus on their application in both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

As one of the essential components of reactive oxygen species (ROS), peroxynitrite (ONOO-) plays an indispensable role in redox homeostasis and signal transduction processes, and its deviant levels are associated with numerous clinical diseases. Therefore, accurate and rapid detection of intracellular ONOO- levels is crucial for revealing its role in physiological and pathological processes. Herein, we constructed a ratiometric fluorescent probe to detect ONOO- levels in biological systems.

Microelectrodes offer exceptional sensitivity, rapid response, and versatility, making them ideal for real-time detection and monitoring applications. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors have shown great value in many fields due to their high sensitivity, fast response, and ease of operation. Nevertheless, conventional PEC sensing relies on cumbersome external light sources and bulky electrodes, hindering its miniaturization and implantation, thereby limiting its application in real-time disease monitoring.

In waterflooding development of narrow channel reservoirs, the water cut rises quickly, and the reservoir becomes nearly fully flooded, yet oil recovery remains low. The narrow strip sand body and long-term water injection create a complex oil and water distribution, making it difficult to evaluate the degree of reservoir utilization during waterflooding. This paper establishes a practical streamline method to quantitatively characterize the waterflooding mobilization degree of narrow channel reservoirs.

Background: The spatial resolution of new, photon counting detector (PCD) CT scanners is limited by the size of the focal spot. Smaller, brighter focal spots would melt the tungsten focal track of a conventional X-ray source.
Purpose: To propose focal spot multiplexing (FSM), an architecture to improve the power of small focal spots and thereby enable higher resolution clinical PCD CT.
