Observational StudyDiagnostic Value of sCD163 Combined with PCT and HS-CRP in Patients with Gynecological Malignant Tumors and Fever.
To explore diagnostic values of sCD163 with PCT and HS-CRP in diagnosing infection among patients with gynecological malignant tumors and fever. ⋯ Combined detection of sCD163 with PCT and HS-CRP has a high diagnostic efficiency for early infection in patients with gynecological malignant tumors and fever, which is better than that of sCD163, PCT or HS-CRP alone. It can be used as an effective auxiliary examination method and an indicator for differential diagnosis. Key Words: sCD163, PCT, HS-CRP; Gynecology, Tumor, Infection, Diagnosis.

Observational StudyThe Prognostic Effect of Metastatic Lymph Node Ratio in Operated Gastric Cancer Patients.
To assess the prognostic importance of metastatic lymph node ratio (MLNR) in operated gastric cancer patients. ⋯ The study contributed to the literature that MLNR is practical and useful as an independent prognostic factor predicting survival even better than tumor/node/metastasis (TNM) staging system. Key Words: Gastric cancer, Metastatic lymph node ratio, Prognostic factor, Surgery.

Case ReportsAnaesthesia Management of a Patient with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency Undergoing Total Thyroidectomy.
We present here, anaesthesia management of a patient having glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency who underwent thyroidectomy. The main concern is to avoid any precipitating factor which could lead to oxidative stress in these patients. There is very limited data available on anaesthesia management of thyroid surgery in such patients. Key Words: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, Oxidative stress, Anaesthesia management.
