Objective: To explore the effect of radiotherapy on preventing the recurrence of lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer after Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy. Methods: Three hundred and sixty-six pa-tients with middle third squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus were enrolled in this study. All patients un-derwent Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy with two-field lymph node dissection in our hospital between June 1999 and June 2004. All statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 13.0 statistical software. Kaplan-Meier method was performed to calculate the relapse rate. Log-rank test was performed to compare the relapse rate. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify independent prognostic factors for postoperative lymph node metastasis. Results: Of the 366 cases, lymph node metastasis was found in 105 patients (28.5%)within 3 years after surgery, occupying 52.2% (105/201) of total recurrence. Of the 181 patients treated with postoperative radiotherapy, lymph node metastasis was found in 37 patients. The rate of lymph node metasta-sis was 20.4%, significantly lower than that in patients treated with chemotherapy alone and those without sys-temic adjuvant therapy (P<0.05). Chemotherapy was administered in 103 cases and lymph node metastasis was found in 33 patients. The rate of lymph node metastasis was 32.0%, lower than that in patients without systemic adjuvant therapy, but without statistical significance (P=0.17). The results of Cox analysis demon-strated that T stage, lymph node metastasis and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy were independent prog-nostic factors. Conclusion: Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for the middle third thoracic esophageal cancer was a safe surgical procedure. Postoperative radiotherapy is helpful for the control of local recurrence. T stage,lymph node metastasis and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy are independent prognostic factors. Radio-therapy is helpful for preventing the recurrence of lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer after Ivor-Lew-is esophagectomy.

Objective:To study the early-onset epilepsy of intracerebral hemorrhage and build a prediction model to evaluate its prediction efficiency.Methods:A cross-sectional investigation was conducted to construct a specialized optimized prediction model. The prediction model was converted into a visual optimized scoring scale, so as to quantify the probability of secondary epilepsy after intracerebral hemorrhage. Based on the current prediction model of acute cerebral infraction and post-stroke seizure (AIS-PSS), the evaluation efficacy of optimized score for secondary epilepsy after hemorrhagic stroke was explored.Results:① After sample size calculation and sufficient inclusion and exclusion, 159 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were continuously selected as the model group of this cross-sectional study. A total of 29 patients with early-onset epilepsy and 130 patients without secondary epilepsy were enrolled. The time span was from January 2021 to August 2021. In addition, 77 patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage from August 2021 to February 2022 were selected as the verification group, among which 12 patients had early-onset epilepsy and 65 patients had not any secondary epilepsy. ② There were significant differences in demographic characteristics such as diabetes history, cerebral infarction history, smoking history, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, intracerebral hemorrhage hematoma volume, serum creatinine (SCr), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S-100 protein and intracerebral hemorrhage site between the two model groups with different prognosis (all P < 0.05). ③ The above indexes were included in univariate and multivariate Poisson regression analysis, and the results showed that the duration of diabetes [relative risk ( RR) = 1.229, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.065-1.896, P = 0.036], smoking history ( RR = 1.419, 95% CI was 1.133-2.160, P = 0.030), history of cerebral infarction ( RR = 1.634, 95% CI was 1.128-2.548, P = 0.041), hematoma volume of cerebral hemorrhage ( RR = 1.222, 95% CI was 1.024-2.052, P = 0.041), NES content ( RR = 1.146, 95% CI was 1.041-1.704, P = 0.032), were independent influencing factors to constitute the prediction model. The prediction model was converted into a visual optimized scoring scale in the form of a line diagram to obtain the prediction probability corresponding to the corresponding score. ④ Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to test the evaluation efficiency of optimized score and AIS-PSS score for early-onset cerebral hemorrhage epilepsy. Relevant data of patients in the verification group were extracted according to the information of two scores, and the final score of each patient in the verification group was obtained. The score and prognosis were put into the ROC curve to evaluate the predictive ability of different prediction models. The results showed that the cut-off value of the optimized score and the AIS-PSS score were 144 points and 7 points, respectively, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and the Yoden index of the optimized score were slightly lower than the AIS-PSS score. However, compared with AIS-PSS score, there was no significant difference in the evaluation efficiency of optimized score for early-onset epilepsy ( Z = 1.874, P > 0.05). Conclusion:This study constructed a specific early-onset epilepsy prediction model for patients with hemorrhagic stroke, and transformed it into an optimized score that is easy for clinical use, and its evaluation efficiency is reliable.
