Objective To evaluate enteral nutrition treatment on nutritional status of patients with esophageal cancer during radiotherapy in Chinese population. Methods We searched domestic and foreign relevant databases (PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Wanfang Data, Chinese Journal Database, VMIS) by key words (esophageal cancer, chemoradiotherapy, enteral nutrition) , meeting the conditions of the clinical randomized controlled trials, and evaluated the quality of each document. We used meta-analysis method to analysis the published literatures about clinical randomized controlled trials, which were enteral nutrition treatment on nutritional status of patients with esophageal cancer during radiotherapy in Chinese population.RevMan5.1 statistical analysis software were used. Results Seven separate clinical randomized controlled trials including 503 cases were included into the meta-analysis. The following five indexes of nutritional status in enteral nutrition treatment (ENT) group were superior to routine treatment (RT) group (P<0.05): body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), hemoglobin, serum albumin, serum prealbumin. The MD Values and 95%CI (confidence interval) were 5.54 (3.61-7.46), 2.20 (2.02-2.39), 12.46 (5.86-19.05), 4.04 (2.48-5.61), 49.53 (20.93-78.13) .The funnel plot showed no significant publication bias in each indexes. Conclusion Enteral nutrition treatment can improve the nutritional status of patients with esophageal cancer during radiotherapy compare only with routine treatment.

This article reports two cases of childhood-onset nemaline myopathy diagnosed by muscle pathology and genetic diagnosis. The two patients had onset in early childhood, with muscle weakness as the first manifestation, as well as long disease duration and slow progression. Gomori staining and hematoxylin-eosin staining showed red-stained rods in the sarcoplasmic cytoplasm and sarcolemma under a light microscope. Electron microscopy showed that the dense nemaline rods were located under the muscle fiber sarcolemma and parallel to the long axis of the muscle fibers, and some muscle fiber myofilaments were dissolved and necrotic. Gene testing found that one of the two patients had heterozygous mutation (c.1013A>C) in the ACTA1 gene, and the other had compound heterozygous mutation (c.18676C>T and c.9812C>A) in the NEB gene. The two mutations were more common in nemaline myopathy. Nemaline myopathy is a recessive or dominant inheritance myopathy, in which the nemaline rod in the cytoplasm of myocytes is a characteristic muscle pathological change. Pathological and genetic diagnosis is the gold standard for diagnosis of nemaline myopathy.
