Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2008;31(29):4-7
Objective To investigate the factor that related to neoplasm from the clinicopathologic character of gallbladder polyps, and identify the reciprocal effectiveness of these factors. Method Three hundred and forty-seven patients who were underwent operation with gallbladder polypoid lesions were reviewed. Results Logistic regression analysis showed, only 5 parameters were significant for the prediction of neoplastic lesions, including age of the patient (P =0.015), the number of polyps (P=0.018), the maximal diameter (P=0.000), echo property (P=0.000), as well as the position of polyps (P=0.030),of which the maximal diameter was the best one to predict the neoplasm polyps. Further analysis with HOC curve showed that 0.925 cm, the diameter of polyps, was the critical point to calculate the polyp was neoplasm or not. Conclusions Age of the patient , the number of polyps , the maximaldiameter, the position of polyps, and echo property are independent factors in predicting gallbladder neoplastic lesions. The size of the polyps is the most significant one among the factors to predict gallbladder neoplasm with its critical point of 0.925 cm.

Objective To observe and analyze the long-term curative effects and complications for early stage thoracic esophageal cancer patients treated with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and 252Cf neutron brachytherapy (NBT).Methods From May 2002 to May 2012,26 patients with early stage squamous cell carcinoma who underwent EBRT and 252Cf NBT were respectively analyzed.Patients were treated 5 days per week at 2 Gy/day for a total dose of 50 Gy with EBRT.The total radiation dose to the reference point was 12-16 Gy-eq in 3-4 fractions with 4 Gy-eq/fraction with 252Cf NBT.The 1-,3-and 5-year follow-up rates were all 100 %.Results The 1-,3-and 5-year survival rates were 95.5 %,95.5 % and 83.5 %,respectively.The early complication rates for grades 1 and 2 radiation esophagitis were 76.9 % (20/26) and 23.1% (6/26),respectively.The late complication rates for grades 0 and 1 (according to the RTOG/EORTC standard) were 84.6 % (22/26) and 15.4 % (4/26),respectively.Barium esophagography after treatments confirmed that the complete response rate was 100 %.Twenty-two patients were confirmed by endoscopy to have either normal mucosa or inflammation change.Conclusion EBRT combined with 252Cf NBT is an effective and safe treatment for early stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo analyze intrathoracic or extrathoracic recurrence pattern after surgical resection of thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (TESCC) and its help for further modify and improvement on the target of postoperative radiation therapy. Methods One hundred and ninety-five patients who had undergone resection of TESCC at the Cancer Hospital,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences enrolled from April 1999 to July 2007.Sites of failure on different primary location of esophageal cancer were documented.Results Patients with upper or middle thoracic esophageal cancer had higher proportion of intrathoracic recurrence.Patients with lower thoracic esophageal cancer had more intrathoracic reccurence and abdominal lymph node metastatic recurrence.Histological lymph node status has nothing to do with intrathoracic recurrence,supraclavicular lymph node ( SLN ) metastasis or distant metastasis ( χ2 =1.58,0.06,0.04,P =0.134,0.467,0.489,respectively),whereas the chance of abdominal lymph node metastases in N positive patients was significantly higher than that in N0 patients (28.7%: 10.6%,χ2 =9.94,P =0.001 ),and so did in middle thoracic esophageal cancer ( 20.0%: 5.6%,χ2 =5.67,P =0.015). Anatomic recurrence rate of patients with proximal resection margin no more than 3 cm was significantly higher compared to those more than 3 cm (25.0%: 11.3%,χ2=5.65,P=0.019).ConclusionsMediastinum is the most common recurrence site.According to recurrence site,the following radiation targets are recommended:when tumor was located at the upper or middle thoracic esophagus with negative N status,the mediastinum,the tumor bed and the supraclavicular region should be included as postoperative RT target;when tumor was located at the middle thoracic esophagus with positive N or located at the lower thoracic esophagus,the abdominal lymph node should be added.If the proximal resection margin was no more than 3 cm,the anastomotic-stoma should be included.

Polyamine biosynthesis is controlled primarily by ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase(AdoMetDC). Antisense ODC and AdoMetDC sequences were cloned into an adenoviral vector (Ad-ODC-AdoMetDCas). To evaluated the effect of recombinant adenovirus Ad-ODC-AdoMetDCas which can simultaneously express both antisense ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and sadenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC), the human lung cancer cell line A-549, was infected with Ad-ODC-AdoMetDCas as well as with control vector. Viable cell counting, determination of polyamine concentrations, cell apoptosis,and Matrigel invasion assays were performed in order to assess properties of tumor growth and invasiveness. Furthermore,Ad-ODC-AdoMetDCas's anti-tumor effect was also evaluated in vivo in a nude mice xenograft model. It was demonstrated that adenovirus-mediated ODC and AdoMetDC antisense expression could inhibit tumor cell growth, lead to cell apoptosis and reduce tumor cell invasiveness. Polyamine levels were significantly decreased in Ad-ODC-AdoMetDCas-treated cells compared with controls.This adenovirus also induced tumor regression in established tumors in nude mice. It was suggested that as a new anticancer reagent,the recombinant adenovirus Ad-ODC-AdoMetDCas holds promising hope for the therapy of lung cancers.

Objective To determine the effects of dose reduction on multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) of neonatal head and assess the lowest possible radiation for acceptable clinical images.Methods Fifty-seven newborns suspected intracranial hemorrhage were entered into the study and underwent MSCT scans.Original images at three anatomic levels (posterior fossa, basal ganglia, centrum semiovale) were collected and synthetic noise was added so as to simulate dose reductions of 25%, 40%, 50% and 70%, respectively by using the noise addition tool.A total of 855 image data sets were obtained for the 57 patients.Original and simulated dose-reduction scan images were analyzed.Image noise and image quality were assessed by two independent experienced pediatric radiologists using diagnostic acceptability score, subjective image noise score on a 5-peint scale and objective noise index.Image noise was measured by respectively placing region of interest (ROI) at cerebellum, thalamus and corona radiata of 3 different slices.And the noise index and mean value was calculated.The degree of inter-observer concordance was determined by Kappa statistical analysis.The Spearman statistical correlations between the noise index and diagnostic acceptability score were performed.Results On the images of original dose and simulated dose reductions of 25%, 40%, 50% and 70%, the diagnostic acceptability was 4.47±0.51, 3.96±0.33, 3.21±0.45, 2.92±0.32, and 1.85±0.57, respectively,the subjective image scores were 1.62±0.48, 1.99±0.48, 2.76±0.81, 3.19±0.67, and 4.27±0.54, respectively, the noise index were 1.90±0.19, 2.17±0.20.2.44± 0.25, 2.68±0.28, and 3.37±0.39, respectively.The two radiologists had good intembserver agreement for diagnostic acceptability (K=0.860, P=0.017) and for image noise scoff ng (K=0.630, P=0.022).There was significant statistical correlation between image noise index and diagnostic acceptability (r= 0.826,P=0.001).At 40% dose reduction to the standard protocol, the noise index was 2.44 and the image quality score was 3.21 which were considered clinically acceptable.Conclusion The study revealed that acceptable imagos could be obtained with mean noise index of 2.44 and 40% dose reduction.
