From August 1989 to March 1994, 240 patients with esophageal carcinoma were studied. They were randomly divided into combined group (BFP chemotherapy plus radiotherapy, 120 cases), and radiotherapy alone group (120 cases). Both groups were treated by the same radiotherapy with dose of D T 50~70 Gy/5~7wk. The 1-,2-,3- and 4-year survival rates were 68.3%(82/120), 49.5%(47/95), 27.1%(19/70) and 15.6%(5/32) in BFP chemotherapy plus radiotherapy group and 44.1%(53/120), 28.4%(27/95), 22.9%(16/70), 15.6%(5/32) in radiotherapy alone group. The 1- and 2-year survival rates were obviously different in the two groups(P

OBJECTIVETo assess the efficacy and safety of modified ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract for simple transsphincteric perianal fistula.
METHODSSeventy patients with simple transsphincteric perianal fistula between October 2012 and January 2014 in our department were prospectively enrolled. According to the random number table, patients were divided into two groups: modified-LIFT group (37 cases, from the external opening close to the fistula, dissect the external sphincter fistula to the intersphincteric groove by tunneling technique, resect the lateral free fistula) and LIFT group (33 cases). Clinical parametres before and after operation were compared, and results of pelvic electromyogram (EMG) and anorectal manometry three months after operation were analyzed to evaluated anal function.
RESULTSThe operative time, pain score, hospital stay, and healing time were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). During the median follow-up of 12 months (3-20 months), the healing rate in modified-LIFT group was 83.8% (31/37), which was significantly higher than 60% (20/33) in LIFT group (P=0.029). After operation, 4 patients had persistent unhealed wound, 2 recurred in modified-LIFT group, while 8 patients had persistent unhealed wound, and 5 recurred in LIFT group. No patients developed anal incontinence. By the pelvic EMG and anorectal manometry 3 months after operation, the duration of motor unit potential, occurrence of simple phase, mean resting pressure and maximun squeeze pressure were not significantly different.
CONCLUSIONModified-LIFT procedure for the management of simple transsphincteric perianal fistulas is a simple and effective operation with higher healing rate and similar anal function as LIFT.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the impact of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) on postoperative anal function and quality of life in patients with benign rectal tumor and early rectal cancer.
METHODSClinical data of 50 patients with rectal adenoma and early rectal cancer undergoing transanal endoscopic microsurgery in our hospital from October 2008 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Anorectal manometry, endorectal ultrasonography (ERUS), the fecal incontinence severity index (FISI), and the physical and mental health status scores (SF-36) were used to evaluate preoperative and postoperative anorectal function and quality of life.
RESULTSAnorectal manometry indicated anal resting pressure (ARP), maximum squeeze pressure (MSP), rectal volume at sensory threshold(RVST), maximum tolerable volume(MTV) decreased significantly at the first month after surgery (P<0.05). MSP returned to preoperative level at the 3rd month (P>0.05). ARP and MTV returned to normal values at the 6th month (P>0.05). RVST returned to normal values at the 9th month (P>0.05). Recto-anal inhibitory reflex(RAIR) was absent in 1 (2%) patient preoperatively and in 30(60%), 18(36%), 7(14%), 2(4%) at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th months after surgery respectively. ERUS showed similar width and thickness of internal sphincter at 1st and 6th month after surgery compared with preoperative measures (P>0.05). Six months after surgery, the mean FISI score decreased(preoperative vs postoperative:8.5 vs 5.8, P<0.05), suggesting an improvement in fecal continence. However, the overall quality of life did not danger significantly after surgery(P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONSTEM has little impact on anorectal anatomic structure. Anal function may be compromised in the short-term, however the vast majority of patients recover completely after 6-9 months. TEM is a safe, effective and minimally invasive surgery.

OBJECTIVETo elucidate the mechanism of curcumin in radiotherapy sensitization for colorectal cancer cells.
METHODSColorectal cancer HT-29 cells were cultured and treated with radiation and curcumin. MTT method was used to detect the cell growth inhibition. Then the high-throughput microarray was used to detect the differences in gene expression levels for each test group to identify differentially expressed genes, and each differential gene was validated by Western blotting.
RESULTSCell growth inhibition rates at 48-hour and 72-hour in curcumin combined with radiotherapy group were significantly higher than those in simple radiotherapy group (P<0.05). Expression of 95 genes associated with gene-injury repair was detected by microarray. Compared to simple radiotherapy group, LIG4 and PNKP expression was down-regulated, and XRCC5 and CCNH expression was up-regulated in the curcumin combined with radiotherapy group (all P<0.05). Western blotting revealed LIG4 and PNKP protein expression decreased, and XRCC5 and CCNH protein expression increased in the curcumin combined with radiotherapy group as compared to the simple radiotherapy group (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONRadiation sensitization effect of curcumin on colorectal cancer cells HT-29 may be associated with the regulation of genes of CCNH, LIG4, XRCC5, PNKP.

Objective:To study the anti-tumor efficacy of endostar microbubble combined with focused ultrasound radiation in colon cancer liver metastases.Method:29 mice with colon cancer liver metastasis were randomly divided into four groups. Group 1(8 mice), as the control group. Group 2(7 mice) were treated only with ultrasonic radiation. Group 3 (7 mice) treated with the ultrasonic radiation combined with SonoVue microbubbles without carrying any medicine. Group 4(7 mice), treated with the ultrasonic radiation combined with microbubbles carrying endostar. The mice were sacrificed and the tumor specimens were weighted on the 12 days after ultrasound radiation. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess CD34 expression within the metastatic tumor.Results:The tumor weight in group 4 (0.79±0.49)g was significantly lower than that in group 1 (2.67±0.61)g, group 2 (2.60±0.60)g and group 3 (1.74±0.33)g ( F=20.629, P<0.01). The liver metastatic tumor weight in group 4(0.55±0.16) g was much lower than that in group 1 (1.47±0.22)g, group 2(1.42±0.28) g and group 3 (0.95±0.27)g ( F=23.758, P<0.01). There was no obvious difference among the four groups in the number of nodules of metastatic tumor in liver ( F=0.167, P=0.918). The level of CD34 in group 4 were (8 037±1 708) , significantly lower than that in any other group, ( F=15.779, P<0.01). Conclusion:Endostar microbubble combined with focused ultrasound radiation decreases tumor angiogenesis in liver metastasis, and inhibits the growth of both primary and metastatic tumor.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) by transanal glove port combined with colonoscopy for excision of rectal tumors.
METHODSEight patients with rectal cancer eligible for local resection were chosen to receive a procedure performed via a "glove TEM port" from October 2012 to March 2013. This device was constructed on-table using a circular anal dilator (CAD), standard surgical glove, colonoscopy instruments and straight laparoscopic instruments.
RESULTSProcedures of all the patients were completed successfully by glove TEM. The median (range) diameter of tumor was 2.6(1.5-3.5) cm, the median (range) operative time was 55.6(30-110) min. Postoperative pathology included villous adenomas (n=3), tubular adenomas (n=2), tubulovillous adenomas (n=2), serrated adenoma (n=1), low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (n=2), and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (n=1). All resection margins were negative. Two patients presented with postoperative minor bleeding. There were no serious intraoperative complications. No cancer recurrence was found during a follow-up of 1-5 (median 3.1) months.
CONCLUSIONTransanal endoscopic microsurgery by transanal glove port combined with colonoscopy in the treatment of early rectal cancer is easy and safe.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of prostaglandin transporter (PGT) in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues and its relationship with clinicopathological features.
METHODSThe mRNA and protein levels of PGT were determined by real-time PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemical methods in cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissue from 80 patients with colorectal cancer and their relationship with clinicopathological features was analyzed.
RESULTSCompared with the adjacent normal tissue of colorectal cancer, the PGT mRNA relative expression (0.57 ± 0.33 vs. 2.33 ± 1.20) and the PGT protein expression in cancer tissues decreased significantly [PGT/GAPDH 0.45 ± 0.16 vs. 0.78 ± 0.23, integral A 718.7 ± 359.4 vs. 10412.0 ± 6423.3, average A 0.03 ± 0.01 vs. 0.12 ± 0.09, all P<0.01]. Lower mRNA and protein expressions of PGT in colorectal cancer were associated with depth of invasion T3 to T4 and TNM stage III( to IIII( (P<0.01), while not associated with gender, age, tumor location and differentiation degree (all P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONExpression levels of PGT mRNA and protein in colorectal cancer tissue are significantly down-regulation. PGT expression is associated with invasion depth and late stages.
