Objective:To evaluate the radiotherapeutic strategy for the treatment of recurrent esophageal cancer after radical re-section and determine relevant prognostic factors. Methods:A total of 66 patients with esophageal carcinoma and exhibited recurrence after radical surgery were retrospectively reviewed from Jan 2007 to Jun 2010. The median interval of recurrence from the initial sur-gery was 10.6 months. Among the 66 patients, 50 suffered from loco-regional recurrences alone, and 16 developed distant metastases in addition to loco-regional recurrences. Among the 66 patients, 10 were treated with radiotherapy after recurrence, 23 were treated with chemotherapy alone, and 33 were treated with radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. Among the 33 patients, 22 were initially treat-ed with chemotherapy and 11 were initially treated with radiotherapy. The median total dose of the external radiotherapy was 60 Gy with 6 MV X-ray of a linear accelerator. Results:The median survival period after recurrence was 14.3 months (95%CI=12.4~16.2 months). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 61.9%, 25.9%, and 16.5%, respectively. The median survival period after recurrence in the patients who were treated with chemotherapy alone, radiotherapy alone, and radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy were 11.4, 25.5, and 14.3 months, respectively. The patients who developed distant metastases treated with chemotherapy initially showed better survival outcome than those treated with radiotherapy (P=0.032). Univariate analysis results showed the following prognostic factors:tumor location before surgery;operation mode;whether or not recurrence was detected with distant metastases;and therapy af-ter recurrence. Multivariate analysis results showed that tumor location before surgery was an independent prognostic factor. Conclu-sion:Tumor location may indicate prognosis after recurrence. Patients with recurrent esophageal carcinoma and developed distant me-tastases treated with chemotherapy may initially benefit from a longer survival rate.

Objective:This study aims to analyze the relationship between the effect of induction chemotherapy and the timing of radiotherapy in limited-disease or limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LSCLC). Methods: Data from 148 LSCLC patients who re-ceived induction chemotherapy and radiotherapy between January 2009 and December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The effect of two to three cycles of induction chemotherapy was evaluated according to the RECIST version 1.1, which includes complete re-sponse (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease, and progressive disease. CR and PR were used to calculate response rate. The pa-tients were divided into early and late groups based on immediate radiotherapy after two to three cycles of induction chemotherapy. The survival rate was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test and Cox regression model were used to evaluate the influenc-ing factors of the survival rate. Results: The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 22.8 and 13.0 months, respectively. The early and late radiotherapy groups exhibited OS of 34.0 and 18.0 months, respectively, and corresponding PFS of 16.8 and 10.9 months. In the subgroup analysis, for the patients who responded to the induction chemotherapy, the early and late radiotherapy groups showed median OS of 18.0 and 19.5 months, respectively, and corresponding PFS of 19.4 and 11.7 months. For the patients who had no response to the induction chemotherapy, the early and late radiotherapy groups exhibited median OS of 18.0 and 9.5 months, respectively, and corresponding PFS of 12.4 and 10.3 months. Conclusion:All LSCLC patients who received two to three cycles of induction chemotherapy should receive radiotherapy as soon as possible after chemotherapy, regardless of their response to the induction chemotherapy.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of 3D printing-assisted hematoma puncture and drainage in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and to explore the factors affecting postoperative brain dysfunction.Methods:A retrospective Case-control study was conducted to select 168 hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage patients who were treated with 3D printing assisted hematoma puncture and drainage in the People′s Hospital of Yuechi County from January 2020 to September 2022 as the observation group, and 125 hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage patients who were treated with CT guided hematoma puncture and drainage in the People′s Hospital of Yuechi County at the same time as the control group. The clinical efficacy of the two groups of patients was compared. According to the occurrence of postoperative brain dysfunction, the patients in the observation group were divided into normal brain function group ( n=121) and brain dysfunction group ( n=47). The clinical data of age, preoperative cerebral hernia, blood loss, ventilator-assisted ventilation, postoperative Glasgow coma index score (GCS) and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting postoperative brain dysfunction in the observation group, and a line chart model was constructed and its predictive efficiency was evaluated. The measurement data of normal distribution is expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and independent sample t-test is used for inter group comparison. Chi-square test was used for comparison between count data groups. Results:The proportion of the drainage tube in the hematoma, hematoma clearance rate at 3 and 7 days after surgery, total effective rate of treatment, and GCS score at 1 week after surgery in the observation group were 88.69%(149/168), 54.17%(91/168), 96.43%(162/168), 92.86%(156/168), and 10.72±3.45, respectively, the control group was 75.20%(94/125), 36.80%(46/125), 81.60%(102/125), 76.80%(96/125), and 9.08±3.22, respectively, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Advanced age ( OR=1.983, 95% CI: 1.169-2.732, P=0.017), preoperative cerebral hernia ( OR=1.532, 95% CI: 1.113-2.139, P=0.029), bleeding volume ≥ 50 mL ( OR=2.538, 95% CI: 1.802-3.347, P=0.003), postoperative GCS score 3-5 ( OR=2.874, 95% CI: 2.265-3.449, P<0.001), postoperative hypoxemia ( OR=2.251, 95% CI: 1.673-2.842, P=0.010) and postoperative chronic hydrocephalus ( OR=1.642, 95% CI: 1.214-2.021, P=0.022) were risk factors for postoperative brain dysfunction, while ventilator-assisted ventilation ( OR=0.656, 95% CI: 0.132-0.828, P=0.038) was protective factors. The internal verification of the line chart model by Bootstrap resampling method shows that the model has high differentiation, accuracy and validity. Conclusion:The application of 3D printing-assisted localization in hematoma puncture and drainage can improve the puncture condition and the hematoma clearance rate and clinical effect of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Advanced age, preoperative cerebral hernia and bleeding volume are related to postoperative brain dysfunction. Clinical attention should be paid to patients with risk indicators of postoperative brain dysfunction.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of high- and standard-dose radiotherapy (HD-RT vs. SD-RT) during definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (dCCRT) for esophageal cancer (EC), aiming to assess the advantages and disadvantages of these two radiotherapy doses when using modern radiotherapy techniques. Methods:Literature review was conducted from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang database, and abstracts of the American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and the European Society of Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO). Randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing high-dose radiotherapy (HD-RT: ≥59.4 Gy,1.8 Gy per time) with standard-dose radiotherapy (SD-RT: 50 Gy, 2 Gy per time, or 50.4 Gy, 1.8 Gy per time) during dCCRT for EC were included. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to January 1, 2023. The meta-analysis was performed using Stata 16.0 software.Results:A total of 1 158 patients from 5 RCT that meet the inclusion criteria were finally included. In 4 RCT, subgroup analysis of 940 patients using modern radiotherapy techniques were performed. Patients in the HD-RT and SD-RT groups had similar 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival (OS)( RR=1.03, 95% CI=0.86-1.22, P=0.757; RR=1.05, 95% CI=0.94-1.17, P=0.433; RR=1.05, 95% CI=0.96-1.14, P=0.314; respectively) and 2- and 3-year locoregional progression-free survival (LRPFS) ( RR=0.94, 95% CI=0.82-1.08, P=0.390; RR=0.96, 95% CI=0.86-1.09, P=0.560; respectively). Patients in the HD-RT group had a higher incidence of grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse reactions rates ( OR=1.35, 95% CI=1.03-1.77, P=0.029) and treatment-related death rates ( OR=1.66, 95% CI=0.97-2.83, P=0.062) compared with their counterparts in the SD-RT group. In the subgroup analysis using modern radiotherapy techniques, HD-RT did not improve LRPFS compared to SD-RT, but increased the incidence of adverse reactions, and yielded no OS benefit. Conclusions:Whether modern precision radiation therapy is employed or not, SD-RT yields similar LRPFS and OS, and lower grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse reactions rates compared with HD-RT. Therefore, standard-dose (50 Gy, 2 Gy per time, or 50.4 Gy, 1.8 Gy per time) should be considered as the recommended dose in dCCRT for EC. Further RCT are needed to verify our conclusions.
