Objective To retrospectively analyze the treatment outcomes and prognostic factors for primary bone lymphomas ( PBL) . Methods Forty patients with PBL who were admitted to our center from 1964 to 2014 were enrolled as subjects. In those patients, 10 were treated with chemotherapy alone, 10 with radiochemotherapy, 10 with postoperative chemotherapy, 9 with postoperative radiochemotherapy, and 1 with surgery alone. The median radiation dose was 36 Gy. The Kaplan?Meier method was used to calculate survival rates . The log?rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis . Results The follow?up rate was 100%. The 3?year sample size was 36. In all patients, the 1?and 3?year overall survival rates were 60% and 42%, respectively, while the 1?and 3?year disease?free survival rates were 45%and 34%, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that no pathological fracture at diagnosis, normal lactate dehydrogenase level, an International Prognostic Index score of ≤1, early clinical stage ( stageⅠE ) , complete response after initial treatment, no less than 6 cycles of chemotherapy, a radiation dose of≥40 Gy, no progression outside radiation field after radiotherapy, and grade<3 bone marrow suppression during the treatment were prognostic factors for survival ( P=0. 027, 0. 037, 0. 000, 0. 016, 0. 000, 0. 000, 0. 022, 0. 014, and 0. 030). Conclusions The incidence of PBL is low. Comprehensive treatment can achieve satisfactory outcomes. As a PBL staging system, Ann Arbor has limitations. The staging of PBL should be based on local bone destruction and metastasis.

Objective To evaluate the incidence of and risk factors for esophageal fistula and fatal bleeding after intensity?modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT) for esophageal cancer. Methods Clinical data were collected from 128 patients with esophageal cancer who received radical IMRT in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2014. According to the incidence of esophageal fistula and fatal bleeding, those patients were divided into control group ( n= 105 ) and severe complications group ( n= 23 ) . In the severe complications group,12 patients had esophageal fistula and 11 fatal bleeding. Between?group comparison was made by χ2 test. The Cox model was used for the multivariate analysis. Results Chest and back pain in the initial diagnosis,clinical stage cT4 ,tumor type ( ulcerative) ,gross tumor volume ( GTV)>50 cm3 ,and GTV maximum diameter>2?45 cm were risk factors for esophageal fistula and fatal bleeding after radiotherapy for esophageal cancer (P=0?042,0?042,0?019,0?046,0?002).The multivariate analysis showed that tumor type ( ulcerative) and GTV maximum diameter were independent risk factors for esophageal fistula and fatal bleeding ( P=0?010,HR=0?329,95% CI:0?142?0?763;P=0?009,HR=3?805,95% CI:1?404?10?312) . Conclusions The efficacy of IMRT is severely restricted by the incidence of esophageal fistula and fatal bleeding. For patients with an ulcerative type of esophageal cancer or a GTV max diameter of>2?45 cm,the chemoradiotherapy plan should be optimized to reduce the risk of severe complications.

Background Vascular endothelial injury is an important pathogenic step of vibration-induced hand arm vibration disease (HAVD), and long-term vibration exposure can lead to vascular endothelial cell dysfunction and cell damage. Cell ferroptosis may be one of the important mechanisms of vibration-induced vascular endothelial cell injury and HAVD. Objective To explore whether vibration can induce changes in ferroptosis-related indicators in vascular endothelial cells in vitro. Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were divided into four vibrationgroups and two control groups. The vibration groups were exposed to an vibration setting of 125 Hz, 6.5 m·s−2 frequency band and for different durations: 1 d 2 h (total 1 d, 2 h per day), 1 d 4 h (total 1 d, 4 h per day), 2 d 2 h (total 2 d, 2 h per day), and 2 d 4 h (total 2 d, 4 h per day), respectively. All control groups were treated the same as the experimental groups except no vibration exposure. When the cells were 80% confluent, the control groups and the corresponding experimental groups were harvested at the same time. The effects of subgroup treatments on iron, reduced glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in HUVEC were detected with a cell ferrous colorimetric test kit, a reduced GSH colorimetric test kit, and a trace MDA test kit, respectively. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expressions of ferroptosis-related genes acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 (ACSL4), tumor protein 53 (P53), recombinant human ferritin heavy chain (FTH1), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Western blot (WB) was used to detect the expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins in HUVEC. Results Compared with the control groups, the vibration induced an increase in the iron content of HUVEC with a dose-response trend. Compared with the control groups, the reduced GSH content of HUVEC in the vibration group decreased with the increase of vibration time and frequency, and there was a dose-response trend. Compared with the control groups, the intracellular MDA content of HUVEC in the 1 d 2 h, 1 d 4 h, and 2 d 4 h vibration groups increased, and the MDA content in the 1 d 2 h and 1 d 4 h vibration group increased with time. The RT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression levels of ACSL4 and P53 in the 1 d 4 h group increased compared with the 1 d 2 h group. Compared with the 2 d control group, the mRNA expression levels of ACSL4 in the 2 d 2 h vibration group and the 2 d 4 h vibration group increased, and the mRNA expression level of P53 in the 2 d 4 h vibration group increased. Compared with the 1 d control group, the mRNA expression levels of FTH1 and GPX4 in endothelial cells in the vibration 1 d 2 h group decreased. The WB results showed that compared with the control groups, the expression level of ferroptosis-related protein ACSL4 in endothelial cells increased in the vibration 1 d 2 h group; the expression levels of P53 in the 1 d 2 h and 2 d 4 h vibration groups increased; the expression levels of GPX4 decreased in the 1 d 4 h and 2 d 2 h vibration group, and the decrease was more obvious in the 2 d 2 h vibration group than in the 1 d 2 h vibration group; the above differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Vibration induces an increase in iron content, a decrease in GSH, and an increase in MDA in vascular endothelial cells in vitro, as well as mRNA and protein expressions of ferroptosis-related genes ACSL4, P53, FTH1, and GPX4.

Objective To analyze the effects of gross tumor volume(GTV-T)and positive lymph node volume(GTV-LN)on the prognosis of radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC). Methods A total of 79 patients with stage N1ESCC undergoing radical radiotherapy in our hospital from 2012 to 2015 were enrolled as subjects. GTV-T and GTV-LN were calculated by the Pinnacle39.0 treatment planning system. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to evaluate the value of the GTV-LN/GTV-T ratio in the prediction of local recurrence(LR)and distant metastasis(DM)of ESCC. Results The median follow-up time was 17.2 months in all patients. The ROC curves were made using the GTV-LN/GTV-T ratio. The optimal cut-off values of GTV-LN/GTV-T ratio for predicting the risk of LR and DM were 0.34 and 0.59, respectively. The statistical analysis revealed that the LR rates were 50% and 8% in patients with GTV-LN/GTV-T ratios of<0.34 and ≥0.34, respectively(P<0.01), while the DM rates were 11% and 43% in patients with GTV-LN/GTV-T ratios of<0.59 and ≥0.59, respectively(P= 0.003). Conclusions The GTV-LN/GTV-T ratio may be a predictor of LR and DM in patients with ESCC. Further studies on the GTV-LN/GTV-T ratio may help to make personalized chemoradiotherapy strategies for patients with ESCC.
