Objective: Small-cell esophageal cancer (SCEC) is a rare malignant tumor. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been considered as standard treatments for limited-stage SCEC (LS-SCEC). This study aimed to analyze the comprehensive treatment and prognosis of extensive-stage SCEC (ES-SCEC). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 35 Patients with ES-SCEC from the Cancer Hospital of Tianjin Medical University between January 1989 and April 2012. Results:A total of 33 patients (94.3%) participated in follow-up visits. The overall survival of the patients ranged between 0.6 and 42.4 months with a median of 9.5 months. All of the patients suffered from extensive metastasis. Among these patients, 33 manifested metastasis at diagnosis and 2 showed metastasis after surgery. One-and two-year survival rates were 27.2%(9/33) and 9.0%(3/33), respectively. Univariate and mul-tivariate analysis results revealed that the number of chemotherapy cycles (≥4) is a risk factor of OS (P=0.02) and the only indepen-dent risk factor (P=0.049). Conclusions:ES-SCEC is a malignant tumor with poor prognosis. Radiotherapy could not improve patient survival. Chemotherapy combined other therapeutic procedures could be considered as an effective treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of XRCC3 on esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) radiotherapy response. Methods:Expression levels of XRCC3 were detected by reverse transcription PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. We knocked down XRCC3 with lentiviral infection in ESCC cells. Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytom-etry. DNA damage and telomere dysfunction-induced foci were determined by immunofluorescence. Results:The expression levels of XRCC3 in ESCC cells and tissues were higher than those in normal esophageal epithelial cells and corresponding adjacent noncancer-ous esophageal tissues. Knockdown of XRCC3 in ESCC cells substantially increased the therapeutic efficacy of radiation. We demon-strated that the radiation resistance of XRCC3 was attributed to the XRCC3-maintaining telomere stability, which reduced ESCC cell death through radiation-induced apoptosis. Conclusion: Our data suggested that XRCC3 protects ESCC cells from ionizing radia-tion-induced DNA damage and death by enhancing telomere stability. Thus, XRCC3 can be used as a promising therapeutic target for ESCCs.

Objective To investigate the impacts of pyruvate kinase M2 isoform (PKM2) silencing on the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549 cells) and the radiation synergy of xenografts, and to explore their mechanisms. Methods Plasmid pshRNA?PKM2 for interference with PKM2 expression was transfected into A549 cells, and empty vector?transfected cells and untransfected cells were set as con?trols. The silencing efficiency of pshRNA?PKM2 and the expression level of microtubule?associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) were measured by Western blot assay. The radiosensitizing effects in A549 cells and xen?ografts after PKM2 silencing were determined by colony?forming assay and xenografts growth curves. Autoph?agy formation in A549 cells and xenografts was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, and the ex?pression level of PKM2 in xenografts was measured by immunohistochemistry. Comparison between groups was made by Student′s t?test, and the body weights of nude mice and xenograft volumes were subjected to a?nalysis of variance for continuous variables. Results Stable A549 cell lines transfected with pshRNA?PKM2 were successfully produced. Transfection with pshRNA?PKM2 significantly down?regulated PKM2 expression in A549 cells and xenografts (P= 0?? 001;P= 0?? 000). The sensitizer enhancement ratios for A549 cells and xenografts were 1?? 47 and 2?? 00, respectively. Interference with PKM2 expression enhanced radiation?in duced autophagy formation and significantly increased the ratio of LC 3 ? II / I ( P= 0.000 1 ) . Conclusions Silencing of PKM2 expression may enhance the radiosensitivity of A549 cells and xenografts by regulation of autophagy, which holds promise for becoming an effective radiosensitizing target for non?small cell lung canc?er, but still needs to be confirmed by further studies.

Objective To investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor recovery in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods 22 patients with T5~T12 incomplete spinal cord injury (ASIA C) were randomly divided into rTMS group and control group. 12 ptients in rTMS group were treated with 10Hz rTMS (10×5 s with 2 min interval) on motor cortex and rehabilitation. 10 patients in control group treated with rehabilitation only. They were assessed with ASIA motor score, ASIA pin prick score, ASIA light touch score, range of motion (ROM) of legs in antigravitation position, walking index for spinal cord injury Ⅱ (WISCIⅡ) and functional independence measure (FIM) score before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results There was no difference between two groups with the clinical assessment before treatment (P>0.05). The ASIA motor score, ROM of legs and FIM score improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.05). The score of WISCIⅡ also improved in rTMS group (P<0.05), and ASIA motor score improved more in rTMS group than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion rTMS can facilitate the recovery of the motor and walking function in patient with incomplete spinal cord injury.
