Objective To explore the value of elective nodal prophylactic irradiation with intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) for esophageal carcinoma.Screening patients who are suitable for elective nodal prophylactic irradiation (ENI),in order to improve locoregional control and overall survival.Methods The concurrent control study was conducted to esophageal cancer patients who were treated by definitive radiotherapy.A total of 148 patients finished treatment were identified.Seventy-four patients received ENI,while the other seventy-four patients received involved-field irradiation (IFI).Kaplan-Meier method was used for calculation of locoregional control rates and overall survival rates.The univariate and multivariate analysis of prognostic factors were also tested.Results The 1-,3-,and 5-year locoregional control rates of ENI group and IFI group were 72.5％,52.8％,50.6％ and 58.4％,35.8％,21.9％ (x2 =7.881,P ＜0.05),respectively.The 1,3,and 5 years survival rates of the ENI group and IFI group were 74.3％,44.2％,24.5％ and 68.9％,27.6％,15.9％ (x2 =1.903,P ＜ 0.05),respectively.In Cox multivariate analysis,clinical T stage,tumor location,different radiotherapy region were independent factors for the locoregional control of all patients,and clinical T,N stage,the length of esophageal barium meal and chemotherapy were independent factors for the overall survival of all patients.Conclusions Esophageal carcinoma patients treated with ENI could achieve better locoregional control than those treated with IFI.Esophageal carcinoma patients with early stage or middle thoracic lesion could benefit from ENI for local control and overall survival.

Objective:To examine the expression of odontoblast related proteins in dental pulp stem cells(DPSCs)induced by BMP-7.Methods:DPSCs were cultured in the common culture medium or medium supplemented with 1 00 ng/ml BMP-7.Electron microscope,CCK8 and immunohistochemical staining were carried out to estimate the cell morphology and differentiation.Results:In-duced by BMP-7,the morphology of DPSCs was not changed,the proliferation of DPSCs was slower than that of the cells without BMP-7 treatment.DPSCs were negative for the expression of DSPP,DMP-7 and ALP.However,DPSCs were found strongly positive for DSPP,DMP-7 and ALP after the induction of BMP-7.Conclusion:BMP-7 induction may promote the differentiation of DPSCs.

Objective To compare the efficacy of elective nodal prophylactic irradiation ( ENI) and involved?field irradiation ( IFI) in radical radiotherapy for early?stage esophageal cancer and to determine the appropriate irradiation range for early?stage esophageal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 121 patients with early?stage esophageal cancer receiving radical radiotherapy in our hospital from January 2006 to December 2011 were collected and respectively analyzed. Sixty?one patients received ENI, and the other 60 patients received IFI. The Kaplan?Meier method was used to calculate local control ( LC) and overall survival ( OS) rates;the log?rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis;the Cox regression model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis. Results The 1?, 3?, and 5?year LC rates in ENI group and IFI group were 81. 1%, 60. 1%, and 57. 5% vs. 64. 5%, 43. 9%, and 27. 2%, respectively ( P=0. 003 ) . The 1?, 3?, and 5?year OS rates in ENI group and IFI group were 86. 9%, 56. 8%, and 34. 8% vs. 86. 7%, 34. 3%, and 19. 1%, respectively ( P=0. 019) . The 1?, 3?,and 5?year overall failure rates in ENI group and IFI group were 22. 3%, 53. 8%, and 63. 2% vs. 43. 3%, 65. 8%, and 78. 8%, respectively ( P=0. 023) . Multivariate analysis showed that irradiation range was the influencing factor for LC and OS. Conclusions As for the radical radiotherapy for early?stage esophageal cancer, ENI can significantly increase LC and reduce locoregional failure, and therefore improve long?term OS.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the methylation status of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) gene promoter and its clinical significance in children with stage IV non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and to provide a basis for further etiological study and early diagnosis of this disease.

METHODSFifty-five children with a confirmed diagnosis of stage IV NHL (40 cases of T-NHL and 15 cases of B-NHL) were selected as the case group, and 20 children with diseases other than hematologic malignancies were selected as the control group. Bone marrow samples were collected from these subjects. Methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR) was applied to evaluate the methylation status of ZO-1 gene promoter, and the integrated optical density (IOD) was determined. RT-PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of ZO-1.

RESULTSMS-PCR showed that the methylated bands of ZO-1 gene promoter were found in 39 (70.9%) of 55 patients in the case group before treatment, while no ZO-1 gene promoter methylation was detected in the control group. With close tracking of 47 cases in the study group, consisting of 32 cases of T-NHL and 15 cases of B-NHL, the rates of ZO-1 gene promoter methylation prior to treatment were 72% and 67%, respectively, (P>0.572). The cases of T-NHL and B-NHL showed no significant changes in methylation rate in the early and middle phases of chemotherapy (P>0.05), but they showed significant changes in methylation rate in the late phase of chemotherapy (P<0.05). RT-PCR showed that the NHL cases carrying methylated ZO-1 gene had no mRNA expression of ZO-1, while all children in the control group had mRNA expression of ZO-1. There was no linear relationship between the total number of peripheral blood leukocytes and ZO-1 gene IOD (r=0.093, P=0.575); a positive correlation was found between the number of malignant cells in bone marrow and ZO-1 gene IOD (r=0.669, P<0.001).

CONCLUSIONSZO-1 gene shows a hypermethylation status in children with NHL, and the methylation level is positively correlated with the number of malignant cells in bone marrow. ZO-1 may be used as a novel molecular marker in early diagnosis, outcome assessment, prognostic evaluation, and detection of minimal residual disease.
