ESBL-KP exhibited less susceptibility to various non-β-lactamase antibiotics, and infections due to these organisms were related to LOS and preexisting use of antibiotics. Thus, judicious use of all antibiotics should be underscored to reduce the infections caused by ESBL-KP.

There were no significant differences in patient characteristics by treatment group in both test and validation cohorts, including age, gender, race, histology, stage, location in the esophagus, radiation dose, and comorbidities. Neoadjuvant chemoradiation costs were higher for PBT vs.

Introduction: Pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) has gained popularity in recent years as a result of a possible reduction in the incidence of post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Aim of the study is to evaluate double purse-string telescoped PG as a safe technique which avoids anastomotic leakage after a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods: Data on 153 consecutive PD from 07/2010 to 07/ 2015 were prospectively collected. From 03/2014 a double purse-string telescoped PG was systematically performed. 35 patients undergoing PG were matched at a ratio of 1:1 with 35 pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ). POPF was defined according to International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula. Results: Multivariate analysis on whole series identified soft pancreatic texture [OR 6.207 (CI 95% 2.536e15.194), p < 0.001], pancreatic duct 3 mm [OR 2.520 (CI 95% 1.053e6.032), p = 0.038] and obesity [OR 4.170 (CI 95% 1.221e14.234), p = 0.023] as independent predictors of POPF. These parameters were used as matching criteria. Demographic characteristics were similar among groups. 83% of patients presented soft pancreas and in 51%pancreatic duct was not dilated. Mortality was nil in both groups. Major morbidity was higher in PJ (34.3 vs 14.3%,p = 0.05). Overall POPF were 68.6% in PJ vs 34.3% in PG (p = 0.004). POPF grade B were 28.6% PJ vs 5.7% PG (p = 0.023). There were no grade C POPF in PG vs 7 (20%) in PJ (p = 0.011). Percutaneous drainage of abdominal collection was required in 7 PJ vs 0 PG (p = 0.011). No differences were observed in delayed gastric empting, hemorrhagic complications and biliary fistula rates. Multivariate analysis of predictors of major morbidity showed PG was an independent protective factor [OR 0.209 (CI 95% 0.053e0.826), p = 0.026]. Conclusions: PG with double-purse string telescoped PG reduce POPF compared with PJ decreasing the risk of major morbidity.

histological subtype from 58 resection specimens of LNMIA and 20 para-cancerous lung tissues were collected by laser microdissection from HE staining FrameSlides PEN-Membrane slides.7 of 58 specimens,two predominant subtypes in one cancerous nodule were collected simultaneously. Whole genome amplification followed by high-throughput sequencing was used to deteted WGCNV with the para-cancerous lung tissues as normal reference set and WGCNV was scored by a particular formula. The letters above the figure show the results of Chi-squared test, and same letters mean no significant difference. Result: WGCNV median scores of 5 histological subtypes of LNMIA with three tiered architectural grades are shown in Table1. The WGCNV scores have a positive correlation with either histological subtypes and architectural grading system (Figure1 A and B). The differences of WGCNV scores are detected betweem two predominant subtypes in one cancerous nodule. Conclusion: GWCNV scores display a positive correlation with three tiered architectural grading system and may has a potential value to predict prognosis in LNMIA Background: To evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of weekly nab-paclitaxel combined with carboplatin in patients with advanced stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC patients with squamous histology. Method: From April 2015 to August 2017, 36 treatment-naive, pathologically diagnosed IIIA-N2 lung squamous cell carcinoma patients were enrolled and given two cycles of weekly nab-paclitaxel (100mg/m 2 , day1,8,15 of a 21-day cycle) plus Carboplatin (AUC ¼ 5 at day 1, q3w) as neoadjuvant therapy. Then resectability was assessed and surgery was performed for resectable lesions. Post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy regimens is the combination of Nab-paclitaxel (100mg/ m 2 , qw x 6) and carboplatin (AUC 5, Q3W x 2) for patients with PD, adjuvant chemotherapy regimen will be changed. The primary objective is the safety and efficacy, and the secondary objectives are quality of life and the role of prognostic biomarker SPARC. Result: Of 36 patients, 3 stopped treatment due to patient decision. 33 were finally evaluated and 1 is still on treatment. Significant tumor volume shrinkage was seen in some patients after the neoadjuvant therapy. 66.7% patients achieved partial response (PR), 21.2% patients achieved stable disease (SD). Disease control (PR +SD) rate was 87.9%. Finally, 23 patients underwent surgical resection, the respectability rate was 69.7%. 12.1% occurred disease progress and failed to achieve resection, including 3 with local progress and 1 with pulmonary metastatic nodule; Among 22 PR pts, 4 failed to achieve resection, in which 1 was due to heart function, the other 3 due to personal unwillingness. 2 of 7 with stable disease failed to achieve resection; the pathological improvement in T stage and N stage before and after treatment was 81.8% (18/22) and 50% (11/22) respectively. The major adverse event was neutropenia (grade I and II) and no serious AE was found. Conclusion: Nab-paclitaxel in combination with Carboplatin show...
