Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell death discovered in recent years, characterized by iron-dependent cell death featuring the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acid phospholipids. Recent studies have found that radiotherapy can induce ferroptosis in tumor cells through ionizing radiation, and the combination of radiotherapy with small molecule or nano-scale ferroptosis inducers can inhibit tumor growth and enhance radiosensitization. This review summarizes the mechanisms of ferroptosis and the pathways through which radiotherapy induces ferroptosis, and also explores the potential application prospects of small molecule drugs and nanomaterials in mediating ferroptosis for the radiosensitization of tumor treatment.

Objective:To explore the incidence and the risk factors of post-polypectomy bleeding and polyp recurrence after colonoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation snare polypectomy.Methods:Clinical data of 1 826 children who underwent colonoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation snare polypectomy in the Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2009 to December 2020 was retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics, endoscopic manifestations, pathological features, diagnosis, occurrence of post-polypectomy bleeding and polyp recurrence were collected. The associated risk factors were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:A total of 1 826 children (1 191 males and 635 females) with 1 967 polypectomies were included. The age was 4.6 (3.2, 6.4) years at initial diagnosis. According to the initial colonoscopy, 1 611 children (88.2%) had solitary polyps, 1 707 children (93.5%) had pedicled polyps, 1 151 children (63.0%) had polyps involving the rectum, and 1 757 children (96.2%) had hamartomatous polyps. Polyposis syndromes were diagnosed in 73 children (4.0%). The post-polypectomy bleeding occurrence was 3.8% (75/1 967). Polyps recurred in 88 children (4.8%). Girls ( OR=2.01, 95% CI 1.26-3.23) and sessile polyps ( OR=2.28, 95% CI 1.15-4.49) were risk factors for post-polypectomy bleeding (both P<0.05). Multiple polyps ( OR=17.49, 95% CI 9.82-31.18), right-colon involvement ( OR=3.44, 95% CI 1.89-6.26) and non-hamartoma ( OR=2.51, 95% CI 1.04-6.07) were risk factors for polyp recurrence (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Colonoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation snare polypectomy has low incidence of post-polypectomy bleeding and polyp recurrence. Female patients and sessile polyps have higher risk for post-polypectomy bleeding. Multiple polyps, right-colon involvement and non-hamartoma polyps increase the risk for polyp recurrence.

Brain metastases are common in oncologic patients. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an effective treatment for oligo brain metastases. However, SRS is not suitable for large metastatic lesions. Fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (FSRT) is a new option for the treatment of brain metastases. It can deliver high doses of radiation to tumor while protecting the normal tissues and organs outside the irradiation field as much as possible and maintaining good local control rate of tumors. This article reviews the dose-response relationship and adverse reactions of FSRT with different fractionated dose schemes, and the progress of FSRT combined with targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the inhibitory effects and possible mechanism of new small molecular kinase inhibitors Ibr-7 [Irutinil(Ibr) derivatives] on human pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells. METHODS: Taking Capan-2 cells as objects, CCK-8 method was used to determine the proliferation of cells after treated with 1, 2, 4, 8 μmol/L Ibr/Ibr-7 for 48 h. The survival rates of cells were calculated. Sensitization effects of 1 μmol/L Ibr/Ibr-7 on different doses of gemcitabine/paclitaxel (0.062 5, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1 μmol/L) were detected. Clone formation test was used to detect the situation of cell clone formation after treated with 1, 2, 4 μmol/L Ibr/Ibr-7 for 48 h. The number of cell colony formation was recorded. Flow cytometry or JC-1 method was used to detect the apoptosis of cells after treated with 2, 4, 8 μmol/L Ibr-7 for 24 or 16 h and the changes of mitochondrial transmembrane potential; total apoptotic rate and the percentage of mitochondrial membrane potential decrease were calculated. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of related apoptotic protein (PARP, Noxa, Bcl-2, Bax, Mcl-1, Bcl-xL). RESULTS: After treated with 1, 2, 4, 8 μmol/L Ibr/Ibr-7 for 48 h, the survival rates of cells were decreased significantly; those of Ibr-7 groups were significantly lower than those of same-dose Ibr groups; IC50 of Ibr-7 was significantly lower than that of Ibr (P<0.05 or P<0.01). After combined with Ibr/Ibr-7, the survival rate of cells was significantly lower than that of same-dose gemcitabine/paclitaxel alone group, and the Ibr-7 combination group was significantly lower than same-dose Ibr combination group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treated with 2, 4 μmol/L Ibr and 1, 2, 4 μmol/L Ibr-7 for 48 h, the number of cell clone formation was decreased significantly, while Ibr-7 groups were significantly lower than same-dose Ibr groups (P<0.01). After treated with different doses of Ibr-7 for 24 or 16 h, total apoptosis rate of cells (2, 4, 8 μmol/L), the proportion of cell mitochondrial membrane potential decrease (8 μmol/L), the relative protein expression of Noxa (2, 4, 8 μmol/L) and Bax (8 μmol/L) were increased significantly, while the protein expression of PARP (8 μmol/L), Bcl-2 (4 μmol/L), Mcl-1 (2, 4, 8 μmol/L) were decreased significantly; above indexes (except for relative expression of PARP and Bcl-2) of 8 μmol/L Ibr-7 group were significantly better than same-dose Ibr group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no statistical significance in protein expression of Bcl-xL among those groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with Ibr, Ibr-7 has better inhibitory and apoptotic effects on human pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells in vitro, and has stronger chemotherapeutic drug sensitization activity, the mechanism of which may be associated with reducing mitochondrial transmembrane potential, down-regulating the protein expression of PARP, Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 and up-regulating the protein expression of Noxa and Bax.
