Background and purpose: With the increase of aging population, elderly patients (age ≥70 years) with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma occurred more and more. However, few studies have focused on elderly esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. This study aimed to assess the outcomes and prognostic factors for elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated after deifnitive chemoradiotherapy. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 53 patients (age≥70 years) with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and treated with deifnitive radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from Mar. 2009 to Dec. 2011. Results:Median age was 74 years. Twenty-nine patients underwent radiotherapy, 24 patients underwent radiochemotherapy. 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5- year survival was 62%, 44%, 33% and 19% respectively. Grade 2 and above acute radiation-induced esophageal toxicity and radiation pneumonitis occur rate was 6% and 9% respectively. No treatment-related deaths occurred and no patients experienced any grade 4 and above toxicities. Multivariate analysis identiifed treatment modality, tumor site and smoking history as independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Conclusion:Radiotherapy may be an acceptable treatment option for elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In appropriately selected patients, concurrent chemotherapy could bring a better overall survival.

Objective To understand the trend of drinking-tea type fluorosis in the diseased areas in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,and to evaluate the effect of prevention and control measures.Methods In 2009 and 2012,6 monitored counties were selected in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region; 5 diseased villages were selected in each monitored county,and 10 families were selected in each monitored village; fluorine content of brick tea was tested,and dental fluorosis conditions of all 8 to 12-year-old students and skeletal fluorosis conditions of all 36 to 45-year-old adults were examined.In 2012,in each monitored village,1 water sample of the drinking water source was collected respectively from five positions(east,south,west,north and the central of the village),and fluoride content of drinking water wastested.Results In 2009,the mean of brick tea fluorine content was 541.48 mg/kg in the monitored villages,and the fluoride content ≤ 300 mg/kg accounted for 17.62％.(49/278).In 2012,the mean of brick tea fluorine content was 536.06 mg/kg,and the fluoride content ≤300 mg/kg accounted for 11.00％(33/300).Total exceeding standard rate of the water fluoride content was 40.00％(12/30).In 2009,the detection rate of the children's dental fluorosis was 52.39％ (274/523),very mild,mild,moderate and severe cases accounted for 9.56％(50/523),19.86％(104/523),21.03％(110/523) and 1.91％(10/523),respectively.In 2012,the detection rate of the children's dental fluorosis was 35.71％(200/560),very mild,mild,moderate and severe cases accounted for 14.11％ (79/560),11.43％ (64/560),9.64％ (54/560),and 0.54％ (3/560),respectively.Compared with 2009,the proportion of moderate and severe cases reduced in 2012(W =40 696.0,P ＜ 0.01).In 2009,the detection rate of adult skeletal fluorosis was 23.52％ (167/710),mild,moderate and severe cases accounted for 17.32％(123/710),4.51％(32/710) and 1.69％(12/710),respectively.In 2012,the detection rate of adult skeletal fluorosis was 20.12％ (103/512),mild,moderate and severe cases accounted for 17.38％ (89/512),2.54％ (13/512) and 0.20％ (1/512),respectively.Compared with 2009,the proportion of moderate and severe cases reduced in 2012(W =12 797.5,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The drinking-tea type fluorosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has been controlled to some degree,but still serious in some areas;prevention and control measures need to be further strengthened.

Objective To investigate the expression of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP),and endotoxin in bloodstream infection with different microorganisms,so as to assess the value of these inflammatory cytokines in early diagnosis of sepsis in bloodstream infections patients.Methods Data of 152 septic bloodstream infected patients with 90 male and 62 female aged from 62 to 102 years and 79.2 ± 16.3 years in average admitted from January 2012 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the results of blood culture,the microorganisms could be categorized into gram-negative bacteria,gram-positive bacteria and fungus groups,and the levels of serum CRP,PCT,and endotoxin were compared among these groups of bloodstream infections patients within 24 hours after admission.Results (1) A total of 152 strains of microorganisms were surveyed including 92 gram-negative strains (61.18％),43 gram-positive strains (28.29％),and 16 fungal strains (10.53％).In the gram-negative strains,Klebsiella pneumoniae (n =29),Acinetobacter baumannii (n =24),Escherichia coli (n =23),Burkholderia cepacia (n =9) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n =4) were the most common isolates.In the Gram-positive strains,13 strains of Staphylococcus aureus were isolated.(2) In the gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections group,there were 60 (64.52％) patients with endotoxin positive,and there were no endotoxin positive cases with detected gram-positive bacteria and fungal bloodstream infections.The median levels of PCT were significantly different among the three groups [gram-negative strains group:7.760 (3.365,28.585) ng/mL,gram-positive strains group:0.705 (0.265,3.225) ng/mL,fungal infection group:1.245 (0.543,1.998) ng/mL].In the fungal bloodstream infection group,the mean level of CRP was higher than that in other two groups [gram-negative strains group:(126.01 ± 66.53) mg/L,gram-positive strains group:(77.58 ±54.21) mg/L,fungal infection group:(140.14 ±71.21) mg/L].(3) The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of inflammatory cytokines was made for the diagnostic value in bloodstream infections.ROC curve used to distinguish between gram-positive bacterial bloodstream infections group and fungal group showed that AUCPCT+CRP =0.791.When PCT cut-off value was 0.92 ng/mL,and CRP cut-off value was 68.00 mg/L,the sensitivity was 50％ and the specificity was 95.5％.ROC curve used to distinguish between the gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections group and fungal group showed that AUCPCT+CRP+LPS =0.947.When PCT cut-off value was 2.16 ng/mL and CRP cutoff value was 94.10 mg/L,and endotoxin was positive,the sensitivity was 82.8％ and the specificity was 100％.ROC curve used to distinguish between gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections group and gram-positive bacterial group showed that AUCPCT+CRP+LPS =0.947.When PCT cut-off value was 2.68 ng/ mL,CRP cut-off value was 106.5 mg/L,endotoxin was positive,the sensitivity was 74.2％ and the specificity was 97.7％.Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria were the most common microorganisms in bloodstream infections in ICU patients.Compared with single inflammatory cytokine,the serum concentrations of PCT,CRP and endotoxin used together could provide more sensitivity and specificity for the early diagnosis of bloodstream infection with different microorganisms.
