Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy is a standard therapeutic option for resected pancreatic cancer. However, the risk factors for incompletion of adjuvant chemotherapy remain unclear.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 72 patients who underwent radical pancreatectomy and received S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer. The patients were assigned to two groups according to their completion or incompletion of adjuvant chemotherapy. We compared the perioperative skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and nutritional status using prognostic nutritional index (PNI) between the two groups.
Results: The completion and incompletion groups included 46 (64 %) and 26 (36 %) patients, respectively. Overall survival was shorter in the incompletion group than in the completion group (median survival time, 20.2 months vs. 42.0 months; log-rank, p = 0.018). Decreasing rate of PNI (12.7 % vs. 0.2 %, p = 0.010) and decreasing rate of SMI (26.9 % vs. 12.5 %, p = 0.001) were significantly larger in the incompletion group than in the completion group. Multivariate analysis showed that decreasing rate of PNI (p = 0.016), decreasing rate of SMI (p = 0.013), and old age (p = 0.049) were independent risk factors for incompletion of S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy. Regarding the time-series variations, PNI improved from 1 to 3 months after pancreatectomy in the completion group (p = 0.006). Furthermore, the decreasing slope of SMI was stronger in the incompletion group.
Conclusion: Postoperative decrease of PNI and SMI is associated with the incompletion of S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy.

Background: Axillary Osmidrosis is highly prevalent and occurr in adolescents, bilateral onset, its pathogenesis is related to abnormal secretion function of apocrine glands, with a significant genetic predisposition, the patient's bilateral armpit area can smell a spicy pungent odor, although it does not affect the health, but it is inconvenient to life, socialize. Patients are often accompanied by low self-esteem and urgently require treatment, and most of them have the requirement of minimally invasive treatment and minimal scarring.
Method: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of minimally invasive treatment of axillary osmidrosis with refined negative pressure-assisted rubbing suction technique. From August 2022 to August 2023, 50 patients (28 females and 22 males) with axillary osmidrosis were treated with refined negative pressure-assisted rubbing suction technique. HE staining of the tissue rubbed out of six of these patients showed a large amount of apocrine gland.
Results: In the subjective evaluation of 50 (100 sides) patients, 66 sides (66 %) were very satisfied with the results of the treatment, 30 sides (30 %) were satisfied, and 4 sides (4 %) were dissatisfied. Clinical efficacy evaluation showed that 74 sides (74 %) of patients rated the results as cured, 18 sides (18 %) as significantly effective, 4 sides (4 %) as effective, and 4 sides (4 %) as ineffective. No serious surgical complications occurred except for the occurrence of Subcutaneous hydrops and hematoma on 6 sides.
Conclusions: Refined negative pressure-assisted rubbing suction technique is an easy and effective method for minimally invasive treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis and deserves clinical promotion.
