Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and adverse events of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) combined with immunotherapy versus CRT alone in patients with locally recurrent esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after surgery.Methods:A total of 221 patients with postoperative locally recurrent ESCC who underwent CRT at the Affiliated Huai′an No. 1 People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to treatment modality: the CRT group ( n=118) and the CRT plus immunotherapy group (combined group, n=103). Among the combined group, 39 patients received camrelizumab, 33 received sintilimab, and 31 received tislelizumab. Short-term efficacy, survival outcomes, and treatment-related adverse events were compared between the two groups. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). Results:No statistically significant differences were observed in baseline clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups. The objective response rate (ORR) in the combined group was 72.8%, significantly higher than 55.9% in the CRT group ( P=0.009). The 1- and 2-year OS rates in the CRT group were 68.6% and 41.5%, respectively, while the 1- and 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 56.8% and 30.5%, respectively. In the combined group, the 1- and 2-year OS rates were 84.5% and 55.3%, and the 1- and 2-year PFS rates were 67.0% and 42.7%, respectively. The differences in both OS and PFS between the two groups were statistically significant ( P=0.001 and 0.023, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that Karnofsky performance status score of 70, TNM stage III, and CRT alone were independent risk factors for OS ( P=0.035, 0.031, and 0.002, respectively). The incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events did not differ significantly between the two groups ( P=0.550). A total of 85 grade 1-2 immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and 7 grade ≥3 irAEs occurred in 65 patients in the combined group. Subgroup analysis suggested that tislelizumab combined with CRT showed the most favorable efficacy and safety profile. Conclusion:For patients with locally recurrent ESCC after surgery, concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy demonstrates promising efficacy with tolerable safety, and may offer a potential therapeutic advantage.

BackgroundThe etiology and pathogenesis of somatic symptom disorder are complicated， for which no effective treatment currently exists， posing a critical impact on their quality of life. ObjectiveTo analyze the current situation and development trend in domestic and foreign research on somatic symptom disorder from 2011 to 2021， and to better understand the research frontiers and hot spots in this field. MethodsOn 31 August 2022， literature on somatic symptom disorder published from January 1， 2011 to January 1， 2023 were searched in China National knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform， Web of Science and PubMed， and a total of 15 035 articles were included， then the visualization analysis of the number of publications and keywords was conducted based on Microsoft Excel and CiteSpace software. ResultsIn the field of somatic symptoms disorder research from 2011 to 2021， the number of annual publications demonstrated an overall upward trend in foreign studies， and displayed a slow downward trend in domestic studies. The keyword co-occurrence network analysis revealed that the top five high-frequency keywords were "mental health" "depressive disorder" "depression" "anxiety" and "somatic symptom" in domestic studies， and were "symptom" "prevalence" "depression" "disorder" and "quality of life" in foreign studies. The burst analysis suggested that the burst terms in past five years were "somatic symptom" "syndrome" and "quality of life" in domestic studies， and were "major depressive disorder" and "outcome" in foreign studies. The clustering analysis yielded 8 clusters in domestic studies and 4 clusters in foreign studies， reflecting in the related disease， prevention and treatment protocols and epidemiological characteristics of somatic symptom disorder. ConclusionIn recent years， the publications and academic concerns regarding the research on somatic symptom disorder show an upward trend in foreign studies and are relatively inadequate in domestic studies， and both the domestic and foreign studies have been focused on the influencing factors of somatic symptom disorder. ［Funded by the Medical Health Science and Technology Project of Zhejiang Provincial （number， 2020PY064）； Medical Health Science and Technology Project of Hangzhou （number， 0020190783）］

Although targeted, immune and other therapeutic strategies have become the first-line standard therapy for patients with advanced lung cancer, acquired drug resistance is still inevitable in most cases. The advent of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) provides a new choice. ADC is a new anticancer drug formed by the coupling of targeted anti-tumor monoclonal antibodies and cytotoxic drugs. Compared with chemotherapeutic drugs, ADC has the advantages of high tolerance, accurate target recognition and little effect on non-cancer cells, and has shown good clinical benefits in the treatment of a variety of malignant tumors. This article reviews the application of ADC in advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of different grade transoral atlantoaxial release for the treatment of irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation.Methods:From January 2010 to December 2019, 297 patients with irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation treated by different grade releases were retrospectively analyzed, including 132 males and 165 females, aged 42.3±12.14 years (range, 10-63 years). All cases were treated by different grade releases, Grade I (196, 66.0%), Grade II (54, 18.2%), Grade III (28, 9.4%) and Grade IV (19, 6.4%). The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade and Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score were recorded as the clinical evaluation index. The clivus-canal angle (CCA) and cervico-medullary angle (CMA) were measured to evaluate the reduction. The surgery time, blood loss, duration of bony fusion and complications were also analyzed.Results:The follow-up time was 14.8±10.2 months (range, 9-36 months). The surgery time of Grade I-IV were 2.02±0.35 min, 3.00±0.36 min, 4.07±0.96 min and 5.24±0.83 min, respectively ( F=385.43, P<0.001), blood loss was 84.08±27.21 ml, 153.61±31.36 ml, 268.93±48.94 ml and 444.21±109.51 ml, respectively ( F=582.39, P<0.001). The preoperative ASIA motor score of Grade I-IV were 83.85±6.68, 84.06±5.47, 84.07±5.99 and 85.00±4.11, respectively. The last follow-up were 98.34±2.38, 98.67±1.79, 98.86±1.58 and 98.32±2.11, respectively, with statistically significant differences from preoperative ( P<0.05). The preoperative JOA score of Grade I-IV were 11.44±1.73, 11.59±1.72, 11.61±1.47 and 11.32±1.80, respectively. The last follow-up were 16.22±1.00, 16.28±1.02, 16.14±1.04 and 16.16±1.07, respectively, with statistically significant differences from preoperative ( P<0.05). The preoperative CCA of Grade I-IV were 110.19°±8.76°, 112.48°±7.66°, 106.61°±6.54° and 109.05°±7.79°, respectively. The last follow-up were 140.22°±8.04°, 141.86°±7.04°, 142.35°±8.62° and 140.15°±6.49°, respectively, with statistically significant differences from preoperative ( P<0.05). The preoperative CMA of Grade I-IV were 113.48°±9.54°, 116.03°±8.38°, 109.55°±7.13°, and 112.46°±8.33°, respectively. The last follow-up were 144.28°±7.75°, 146.40°±6.98°, 145.81°±8.27° and 143.24°±6.36°, respectively, with statistically significant differences from preoperative ( P<0.05). Solid bony fusion was obtained except for 3 cases, the fusion time was 9.71±2.55 months (range 3-14 months). Altogether 33 complications occurred in all cases (11.1%), including 3 fusion failure, 3 cerebrospinal leak, 3 wound infection, 2 death (1 case caused by cerebrospinal leak), 11 pharyngeal discomfort, 4 postoperative pain surrounding iliac crest, and 8 malunion of iliac crest. Conclusion:Transoral stepped atlantoaxial release theory could provide guidelines for atlantoaxial dislocation treatment, and make the transoral release technique more effective and safer.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of sarcopenia on survival and treatment-related toxicity in postoperative recurrent esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.Methods:Clinical data of 147 patients with postoperative locoregional recurrent ESCC receiving chemoradiotherapy in Huai'an First People's Hospital from 2016 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Pectoralis muscle area (PMA) was determined using routine pre-radiotherapy CT simulation scan above the aortic arch level. Sarcopenia was defined as a cut-off value of pectoralis muscle index (PMI) (PMA/height 2) <11.55 cm 2/m 2 for males and <8.69 cm 2/m 2 for females. The incidence of toxicity, 1- and 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were statistically compared between patients with and without sarcopenia. Results:Sarcopenia was detected in 49 of 147 (33.3%) patients. The incidence of grade 3-4 toxicities in sarcopenic patients was significantly higher compared to that in their counterparts without sarcopenia (40.8% vs. 18.4%, P=0.005). In addition, patients with sarcopenia had significantly worse 1-year (61.2% vs. 82.7%) and 3-year OS rates (10.2% vs. 28.6%) than those without sarcopenia (both , P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that sarcopenia was an independent prognostic factor for poor OS ( P<0.001). Conclusion:PMI based on CT simulation scan has prognostic value in postoperative locoregional recurrent ESCC patients treated with chemoradiotherapy, which probably serves as a novel diagnostic tool for sarcopenia.
