Radiation?induced heart disease ( RIHD) is a common type of radiation?induced damages in chest radiotherapy. There are no obvious short?term symptoms in patients with RIHD. However, RIHD causes irreversible permanent damages to the heart over time, which undermines the quality of life. Patients with severe RIHD even have a risk of death from myocardial infarction caused by coronary atherosclerosis. This paper summarizes the research advances in epidemiology, diagnosis, mechanisms of radiation?induced injury in various parts of the heart, radiotherapy techniques, and treatment. Reduction in radiation range and dose, early diagnosis, and early treatment are recommended for patients to reduce heart injury and improve the quality of life.

Although it has been frequently used to treat thoraxic tumors,radiation induced lung injury (RILI) is the major factor of dose limitation in thoracic radiotherapy.Amount of endogenous and exogenous reactive oxygen / nitrogen species (ROS/RNOS) could be generated in the radiated organisms and further cause molecular damage of DNA,protein and membrane lipids,which results in celluar structure damage,dysfunction and RILI.In addition,a series of cytokines could also induce chronic oxidative stresses that contribute to increases in cell membrane permeability,tissue edema and extracellular matrix proteins accumulation and even further result in pulmonary fibrosis.Oxidative stress theory offers new clues and strategies for further understanding the mechanism of RILI,and some anti-oxidative stress drugs may have potential clincial application in RILI treatment.

Peritumoral edema (PTE) of the metastasis tumor of brain (MTB) refers to the abnormal increase of moisture in the surrounding cerebral parenchyma of the brain tumor. The mechanism of PTE occurrence of MTB is complicated, and the influencing factors are diverse. PTE is one of the key factors that affect patient survival and cure. Researchers from China and overseas believe that it may be related to the expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or VEGF receptor, aquaporin-4 (AQP-4), matrix metalloproteinase-9, interleukin-6, hypoxia inducible factor-1a, and other molecular biology factors. Studies of these molecular biologi-cal factors provide objective scientific evidence for the prevention, control, monitoring, treatment, and prognosis of PTE of metasta-sized brain tumor. In addition to the traditional dehydration therapy of PTE, the use of PTE-related molecular biological factors pro-vides a new approach for the treatment. AQP-4 agonists or antagonists and VEGF receptor antagonists also have good therapeutic poten-tials. In this paper, the authors reviewed the PTE-related molecular biological factors of MTB.

Objective To investigate and compare the clinical effects of radiochemotherapy alone or in combination with adoptive immunotherapy with cytokine-induced killer ( CIK) cells in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The clinical data of 125 patients with locally advanced NSCLC who were admitted from 2011 to 2012 and did not undergo surgery were analyzed retrospectively, and among these patients, 102 received radiochemotherapy alone ( control group) , and 23 received radiochemotherapy combined with adoptive immunotherapy with CIK cells ( multimodality therapy group) .The two groups were matched at a ratio of 1:2 using propensity score matching, and the factors considered included tumor stage, radiochemotherapy regimen, and outcome after radiochemotherapy.Then 59 patients ( 22 from the multimodality therapy group and 37 from the control group) were enrolled, and survival and tumor control were compared between the two groups.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and the log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis.Results The 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival ( OS) rates were 73%, 32%, and 16%, respectively, in the control group, and 91%, 59%, and 41%, respectively, in the multimodality therapy group ( P=0.030) .The 1-, 2-, and 3-year progression-free survival rates were 61%, 21%, and 17%, respectively, in the control group, and 45%, 10%, and 10%, respectively, in the multimodality therapy group ( P=0.538) .As for the patients with stage ⅢB NSCLC, those in the multimodality therapy group had a significantly higher 3-year OS rate than those in the control group (47%vs.11%, P=0.026). In the patients receiving sequential chemoradiotherapy, those in the multimodality therapy group had a significantly higher 3-year OS rate than those in the control group ( 46%vs.11%, P=0.003) .As for the
patients with squamous cell carcinoma, those in the multimodality therapy group had a significantly higher 3-year distant metastasis-free survival rate than those in the control group ( 73%vs.22%, P=0.029) .The two groups showed similar incidence rates of adverse events, and compared with the control group, the multimodality therapy group had a lower incidence rate of radiation pneumonitis (9%vs.15%, P=0.889) and a higher incidence rate of radiation esophagitis (12%vs.7%, P=0.097).Conclusions Some patients with locally advanced NSCLC can benefit from radiochemotherapy combined with adoptive immunotherapy with CIK cells, but the intended population, timing, and dose safety still need further investigation.

Objective:To observe the locoregional recurrence and survival of stageⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after in-duction chemotherapy and surgery, to analyze the prognosis influenced by nodal downstaging, and to explore the necessity for postop-erative radiotherapy. Methods:A total of 116 cases of stageⅢA-N2 NSCLC were treated with induction chemotherapy and surgery be-tween January 2009 and June 2014. These cases underwent R0 resection. Kaplan-Meier method was employed to calculate the local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and overall survival (OS) of the patients. Log-rank test was con-ducted to compare the differences between groups. Cox models were used to perform multivariate analysis. Results:The median fol-low-up of the patients was 24.42 months. The numbers of patients with pN0, pN1, and pN2 were 40 (34.5%), 16 (13.8%), and 60 (51.7%), respectively. The 3-year local recurrence rates of patients with pN0, pN1, and pN2 were 27.5%, 56.2%, and 51.7%, respectively. In the group treated with adjuvant chemotherapy, the 3-year local-recurrence rates of patients with pN0, pN1, and pN2 were 26.9%, 58.3%, and 46.2%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the significant predictor of LRFS was pN0 during the surgery. The LRFS of patients with pN0 was greater than that of the patients with pN1 (P=0.048). The LRFS of patients with pN1 was not significantly associated with that of patients with pN2 (P=0.314). The 5-year OS rate of the groups was 46.6%. The multivariate analysis also demon-strated that pT1, pN0-1, and induction chemotherapy effects were associated with OS. The patients with pN2 yielded a poorer OS than those with pN0 and pN1 (P<0.05). The patients with pN0 did not significantly differ from those with pN1 in terms of OS (P=0.412). Conclu-sion:Although the occurrence of pathologic downstaging is a well-known positive prognostic indicator after stageⅢ-N2 NSCLC is sub-jected to chemotherapy, the local-recurrence rate of nodal-downstaged patients remains high, even when they receive adjuvant che-motherapy. Therefore, new postoperative strategies after induction chemotherapy and surgery should be developed.
