Of the 472 patients, 231 were given CRT-CT, 26 were given CRT, and 215 were given CT. The median recurrence-free survival(RFS) and overall survival(OS) were 12 and 19 months, respectively. When CT and CRT-CT groups were compared, there was no significant difference with respect to both RFS and OS, and also there was no difference in RFS and OS among CRT-CT, CT and CRT groups. To further investigate the impact of radiation on subgroups, patients were stratified according to lymph node status and resection margins. In node-positive patients, both RFS and OS were significantly longer in CRT-CT than CT. In contrast, there was no significant differencebetween groups when patients with node-negative disease or patients with or without positive surgical margins were considered.Conclusions: Addition of radiation to CT has a survival benefit in patients with node-positive disease following pancreatic resection.展开更多

But chemotherapy has many side-effects. We have observed that patients who accepted neoadjuvant chemotherapy are more sensitive to anesthetics. The aim of this study was to determine the median effective dose (EC50) of intravenous anesthetics for neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients to lose consciousness during target-controlled infusion.Methods Two hundred and forty breast cancer patients undergoing elective operations were assigned to six groups according to treatment received before their operation and the use of intravenous anesthetics during anesthesia;non-adjuvant chemotherapy+propofol group (group NP, n=40), Taxol+propofol group (group TP, n=40),adriamycine+cyclophosphamide+5-Fu+propofol group (group CP, n=40), non-adjuvant chemotherapy+etomidate group (group NE, n=40), taxol+etomidate group (group TE, n=40), adriamycine+cyclophosphamide+5-Fu+etomidate group (group CE, n=40). We set the beginning effect-site concentration (Ce) of propofol as 3.0 μg/ml and etomidate as 0.2μg/ml. The concentration was increased by steps until the patient was asleep, (OAAS class Ⅰ-Ⅱ), then gave fentanyl 3μg/kg and rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg and intubated three minutes later. The patients' age, height, and weight were recorded.BIS was recorded before induction, at the initial effect-site concentration and at loss of consciousness. The effect-site concentration was recorded when patient lost consciousness.Results There were no significant differences between groups in general conditions before treatment; such as BIS of consciousness, age, sex and body mass index. The EC50 of propofol in the NP, TP and CP groups was 4.11 μg/ml (95%CI: 3.96-4.26), 2.94 μg/ml (95% CI: 3.36-3.47) and 2.91 μg/ml (95% CI: 3.35-3.86), respectively. The EC50 of etomidate in the NE, TE and CE groups was 0.61 μg/ml (95% C展开更多
