1.Perioperative therapy for patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2016;43(12):511-515
A high incidence of esophageal cancer exists in China. Surgical resection remains the dominant therapeutic intervention for patients with operable esophageal carcinoma. However, alternative strategies are actively applied to reduce the frequency of post-op-erative local or distant disease recurrence and to prolong survival. These strategies include neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies. This review discusses the current knowledge, as well as available data and information, with regard to neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies for patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer.

Objectives To explore the clinical features of allergic colitis and the expression of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in intestinal mucosa in infant and young children. Methods The clinical data of 24 cases of allergic colitis treated from September 2011 to February 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect expressions of ECP in intestinal mucosa in 24 cases of allergic colitis, gastric and duodenal mucosa in 16 cases of helicobacter pylori infection and proximal normal intestinal mucosa in 18 cases of postoperative resection of congenital megacolon, and the results were compared. Results In the 24 subjects (15 males and 8 females) with allergic colitis,. they were infants except for 1 subject, and 20 subjects were <6 months old. All of them had bloody stool, in which there were 15 cases of diarrhea, 1 case of eczema and 3 cases of drug allergy. The endoscopic lesions were mainly showed in the sigmoid colon (12 cases) and the rectum (11 cases). The most common manifestations were mucosal erythema (21 cases), pox like nodules (18 cases), erosions (3 cases), and ulcers (3 cases). Histopathological findings were eosinophilic infiltration of the mucosa. The number of eosinophils in intestinal mucosa was 42(30~60)in patients with allergic colitis whose ECP was positive,18(15~23)in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection and 25.5 (14~35) in patients with congenital megacolon children, and the differences are statistically significant mong three groups (H=28.14,P<0.001). Conclusions Allergic colitis is more common in infants and young children. The main endoscopic findings are mucosal erythema and eruption like nodules. In addition, the increase of ECP positive eosinophils in intestinal mucosa is the characteristic manifestation of allergic colitis.

Objective To estimate the effect of blastocysts morphological score on pregnancy outcomes and neonate′s condition in vitrified-warmed single-blastocyst transfer cycles. Methods A retrospective analysis of 586 cycles of vitrified-warmed single-blastocyst transfer from Mar. 2010 to Feb.2016 was performed and the influ-ence of day of vitrification,inner cell mass(ICM)and trophectoderm(TE)scores on pregnancy outcomes and neo-nate′s condition were observed. Results There were no significant differences in clinical pregnancy rate,birth weight and sex ration of newborn between different vitrification day,ICM score and TE score.The day of vitrifica-tion and ICM score can significantly influence pregnancy loss rate,and were the two primary predictors of pregnan-cy loss rate. Vitrification day,ICM score and TE score exerted significant influence on live birth rate(P < 0.05) and TE score was the primary factor of live birth rate. Conclusions Day 5 vitrified blastocysts with higher quality of ICM and TE can provide high live birth rate and low pregnancy loss rate,but it could not predict the weight and gender of the newborn.
