Objective To investigate the treatment outcomes of 41 patients with suprasellar and pineal germinoma who are treated in our department in recent 18 years,and to explore related therapeutic strategies.Methods A total of 41 patients with concurrent suprasellar and pineal germinoma who were treated in our department from January 1996 to August 2013 were enrolled.There were 35 male patients and 6 female patients,and the median age was 16 years (range 5-39 years).Five patients had pathologically confirmed germinoma and 36 patients had clinically diagnosed germinoma.Conventional radiotherapy was performed for 33 patients, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy was performed for 8 patients.Combined-modality chemoradiotherapy was performed for the 5 patients with pathologically diagnosed germinoma.The 6 MV X-ray was applied for radiotherapy;6 patients received whole ventricular irradiation and a boost in tumor region, 16 received whole-brain radiotherapy and a boost in tumor region,and 19 received craniospinal irradiation and a boost in tumor region.The median radiation dose for tumor region was 45.0 Gy (37.8-50.0 Gy),and the median dose for prophylactic irradiation was 25.0 Gy (17.8-35.0 Gy).The survival was caculated using Kaplan-Meier method.Results The number of patients followed were 26 at 5-years.The 5-year overall survival rate and relapse-free survival rate were 95% and 85%,respectively.Relapse and metastasis were noted in 8 patients,and 3 of them died.There were 4 patients with spinal cord metastasis,1 patient with ventricular dissemination,and 3 patients with periventricular relapse.Among the 22 patients who did not undergo spinal irradiation,4(18.2%) experienced spinal cord metastasis,and all the other 19 patients who underwent spinal irradiation did not experience spinal cord metastasis.The 8 patients undergoing intensity-modulated radiotherapy and the 5 patients undergoing combined-modality chemoradiotherapy did not experience treatment failure during follow-up.Conclusions Radiotherapy for intracranial germinoma has a good therapeutic effect,and the patients with suprasellar and pineal germinoma who do not undergo spinal cord irradiation have a high failure rate.It is suggested to perform spinal cord irradiation for patients with suprasellar and pineal lesions.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy alone in patients with T3,T4 or lymph node-positive rectal cancer.Methods 141 rectal cancer patients with locally advanced or node-positive based on imaging from 2000 to 2009 were retrospective analyzed.Ninety-seven patients received preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy and 44 received preoperative radiotherapy alone.Two-dimensional or three-dimensional radiation technique and four types of chemotherapy regimens were used.Results The following-up rate was 91.5％.106 patients were followed up for at least 3 years and 68 patients for at least 5 years.The 3-and 5-year overall survival rates were 85.8％ and 65.7％,respectively.The 3-and 5-year local recurrence rates were 9.2％ and 14.1％,respectively.The 3-and 5-year metastasis rates were 33.8％ and 45.8％,respectively.The downstaging rate was up to 59.0％ (82/139) and the rate of sphincter preservation was 65.5％ (91/139).The median disease-free survival in patients treated with preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy was superior to radiotherapy alone (51 months vs 31 months,x2 =12.88,P =0.000).The time to metastasis in patients with downstaging was significantly delayed than that in patients without downstaging (60 months vs 29 months,x2 =14.65,P =0.000).Most acute toxicity was grade 1 and grade 2.The incidence of delayed wound healing and anastomotic leakage was very low.Conclusions Preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy alone has excellent tumor downstaging effect and helps in sphincter preservation,with tolerable side effects.

Objective To evaluate treatment results and prognostic factors of 47 patients withprimary urethral transitional cell carcinoma treated with post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy. Methods From October 1998 to October 2008, 47 patients with primary urethral transitional cell carcinoma received postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy. Thirty-one patients had stage T_3/T_4 disease, 7 had lymph node metastasis. Thirty-nine patients had G3 tumor, 13 had stump-positive. The median radiotherapy dose was 60 Gy (36-64 Gy). 81% patients (38/47) were treated with regional irradiation. Results The median follow-up time was 21 months (6 -88 months). The follow-up rate was 92%. The median overall survival time was 35 months (5 -88 months). The 2-and 5-year overall survival rates were 57% and 49%, respectively. In univariate analysis, the median overall survival time was better in patients with stage T_1 or T_2 compared with stage T_3 or T_4 tumor (42 months vs. 19 months,Χ~2 =7. 28,P=0. 007), with age of ≤65 years compared with >65 years (28 mouths vs 18 months,Χ~2 =8.23 ,P =0. 004). There was no significantdifference in the long term survival in patients with non-radical surgery compared with radical mastectomy (21 months vs. 20 months, Χ~2 = 0. 90, P = 0. 344). In multivariate analysis, the stage T_3 or T_4 (Χ~2 = 7. 89, P =0. 005), >65 years old (Χ~2 = 4.85, P = 0. 028), renal pelvis involvement (Χ~2= 5.65, P = 0. 018), and tumor located in the mid or inferior segment (Χ~2=6. 08 ,P =0. 014) were factors associated with poorer prognosis. Conclusions Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy can improve the efficacy of patients with locally advanced urethral transitional cell carcinoma. Advanced T stage and > 65 years age are associated with poorer prognosis.

The incorporation of site-specific recombination systems can help to overcome bottlenecks in livestock transgenic technology. For evaluating the efficiency of Cre/lox mediated DNA recombination in embryos and somatic cells, a working model was established using rat mammary carcinoma cell line SHZ-88, aimed at creation of and use repeatedly of selected "friendly loci" in transgenic livestock. An integration vector pTE-lox2272-DsRed-loxP-GFP-loxP, which red fluorescence gene DsRed served as the first target gene and green fluorescence gene GFP as marker gene, was constructed for introduction of acceptor loci in genome. At the same time a replacement vector pT-lox2272-neo-loxP in which Neo coding sequence served as the second target gene was also constructed for replacing DsRed gene. Transgenic cell clones were produced by electroporating SHZ-88 cell with the integration vector. Cells from three transgenic clones selected randomly were further amplified and were then co-electroporated with the replacement vector as well as cre gene. Analysis of the expression patterns of DsRed and GFP indicated that among the 1 070 cell colonies the efficiency on marker GFP deletion was 91.1% and the efficiency on gene replacement was 29.3%. Molecular analysis by PCR and Southern blotting confirmed that the color patterns as expressed by cell colonies could represent the actual molecular events. This working model mediated by Cre/lox system should be useful for the improvement of the present animal transgenic technology.
