ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to establish and apply a correction method for titanium alloy implant in spinal IMRT plan, a corrected CT-density table was revised from normal CT-density table to include the density of titanium alloy implant. Dose distribution after and before correction were calculated and compared to evaluate the dose deviation. Plans were also copied to a spinal cancer simulation phantom. A titanium alloy fixation system for spine was implanted in this phantom. Plans were recalculated and compared with the measurement result. The result of this study shows that the max dose of spinal cord showed significant difference after correction, and the deviation between calculation results and measurement results was reduced after correction. The method for expanding the range CT-density table, which means that the density of titanium alloy was included, can reduce the error in calculation.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore the possible peripheral analgesic mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) at promimal and distal acupoints in treatment of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). MethodsTwenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, proximal group, and distal group, with six rats in each group. MPS model was prepared by “strike combined with centrifugal exercise” in all groups except for the blank group. After modeling, the rats in the proximal group received EA at the local myofascial trigger points (MTrPs), namely the Ashi points, with dilatational waves of frequency of 2/100 HZ and voltage of 2-4 V, current intensity depending on a slight trembling of the left lower limbs, once a day, 15min each time,for 14 days. The rats in the distal group received EA at “Yanglingquan” (GB 34) and “Yinlingquan” (SP 9), with the same operations as the proximal group. The rats in the blank group and the model group were only grasped and hedged, without other interventions. After intervention, the paw withdrawl mechanical threshold (PWMT) was measured, and variability between the left and right hind paws was calculated. Musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging and electromyography monitoring were performed on the left lower extremity vastus medialis. The morphological changes of vastus medialis muscle of the left lower extremity were observed by HE staining. The positive expression of substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), CD68 and CD206 in muscle tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. Abdominal aortic serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and interleukin-8 (interleukin-8) were detected by ELISA. ResultsCompared to those in the blank group, the fibers of the vastus medial muscle of the rats in the model group were broken and distorted with thickness in variation, and the myofascia was broken, with fibrillation potential, enlarged muscle cells, inward moved nucleus, and widened muscle space; the variability of PWMT between the left and right hind paws significantly increased, as well as the levels of SP, CGRP, CD68, and CD206 in the vastus medialis muscle (P<0.01), and the serum IL-8 and TNF-αlevels were significantly elevated (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared to those in the model group, the muscle fibers in the proximal and distal group were complete in shape and arranged in an orderly manner, with continued non-broken myofascia, regular shape of muscle cells, and significantly reduced level of IL-8 (P<0.01); the amplitude and frequency of spontaneous discharge in the proximal group significantly decreased, as well as the variability of PWMT between the left and right hind paws, and the levels of SP, CGRP, and CD68 in the vastus medialis muscle, while the CD206 level increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01 ); there was complex discharges in the distal group, with significantly decreased level of CD68 in the vastus medialis muscle and increased level of CD206 (P<0.01). Compared to the proximal group, the level of IL-8 in the distal group was significantly higher (P<0.05). ConclusionsEA at proximal acupoints can significantly improve the pain threshold and local muscle tissue morpho-logy in rats, and its mechanism may be related to reducing the levels of pain-causing substances and related inflammatory factors and promoting the polarization of macrophages. The analgesic effect of EA at distal acupoints is not obvious, and the mechanism is still unclear.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Studies have shown that the incidence and severity of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with lung cancer are higher than those in healthy people. At present, the main anti-tumor treatments for lung cancer include surgery, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy and anti-angiogenesis therapy. While the effects of different anti-tumor treatments on the occurrence and severity of COVID-19 pneumonia are not uniform. Therefore, we aimed to describe clinical characteristics and antitumor therapy of patients with lung cancer and COVID-19 pneumonia, and examined risk factors for severity in this population.@*METHODS@#From December 1, 2022 to February 15, 2023, a retrospective study was conducted in 217 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and pathologically confirmed lung cancer in the Jinling Hospital. We collected data about patients' clinical features, antitumor treatment regimen within 6 months, and the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. Risk factors for occurrence and severity of COVID-19 pneumonia were identified by univariable and multivariable Logistic regression models.@*RESULTS@#(1) Among the 217 patients included, 51 (23.5%) developed COVID-19 pneumonia, of which 42 (82.4%) were classified as medium and 9 (17.6%) were classified as severe; (2) Univariate and multivariate analysis revealed overweight (OR=2.405, 95%CI: 1.095-5.286) and intrapulmonary focal radiotherapy (OR=2.977, 95%CI: 1.071-8.274) are risk factors for increasing occurrence of COVID-19 pneumonia, while other therapies are not; (3) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) history (OR=7.600, 95%CI: 1.430-40.387) was more likely to develop severe pneumonia and anti-tumor therapies such as intrapulmonary focal radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy did not increase severity.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Intrapulmonary focal radiation therapy within 6 months increased the incidence of COVID-19 pneumonia, but did not increase the severity. However, there was no safety concern for chemotherapy, targeted therapy, surgery and immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the advantage of three dimensional(3D)-printed tissue compensators in radiotherapy for superficial tumors at irregular sites.Methods:A subcutaneous xenograft model of prostate cancer in nude mice was established. Mice were randomly divided into no tissue compensator group( n=6), common tissue compensator group( n=6), and 3D-printed tissue compensator group( n=6). Computed tomography (CT) images of nude mice in the 3D-printed tissue compensator group were acquired. Compensator models were made using polylactic acid, and material properties were evaluated by measuring electron density. CT positioning images of the three groups after covering the corresponding tissue compensators were acquired to delineate the gross tumor volume (GTV). Nude mice in the three groups were irradiated with 6 MV X-rays at the prescribed dose. The prescribed dose for the three groups was 1 500 cGy. The dose distribution in the GTV of the three groups was calculated and compared using the analytical anisotropic algorithm in the Eclipse 13.5 treatment planning system. The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor was used to verify the actual dose received on the skin surface of nude mice. Results:The air gap in the 3D-printed tissue compensator group and the common tissue compensator group was 0.20±0.07 and 0.37±0.07 cm 3, respectively ( t=4.02, P<0.01). For the no tissue compensator group, common tissue compensator group, and 3D-printed tissue compensator group, the D95% in the target volume was (1 188.58±92.21), (1 369.90±146.23), and (1 440.29±45.78) cGy, respectively ( F=9.49, P<0.01). D98% was (1 080.13±88.30), (1 302.76±158.43), and (1 360.23±48.71) cGy, respectively ( F=11.17, P<0.01). Dmean was (1 549.08±44.22), (1 593.05±65.40), and (1 638.87±40.83) cGy, respectively ( F=4.59, P<0.05). The measured superficial dose was (626.03±26.75), (1 259.83±71.94), and (1 435.30±67.22) cGy, respectively ( F=263.20, P<0.001). The percentage variation in tumor volume growth after radiation was not significantly different between the common tissue compensator group and the 3D-printed tissue compensator group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:3D-printed tissue compensators fit well to the body surface, which reduces air gaps, effectively increases the dose on the body surface near the target volume, and provides ideas for radiotherapy for superficial tumors at some irregular sites.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of standard treatment with or without adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with highly malignant non-metastatic prostate cancer.Methods:In this prospective non-randomized controlled study, consecutive non-metastatic prostate cancer patients with pathologically proven Gleason score of 9-10 or Gleason score of 5 admitted to Peking University First Hospital were enrolled. Four to six cycles of chemotherapy using docetaxel ± carboplatin regimen were added or not after standard radical therapy. The primary end point was 5-year event-free survival (EFS), and the secondary end points were distant metastasis-free survival (MFS), overall survival (OS), and treatment-related adverse events. The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method. The differences between two groups were analyzed by log-rank test.Results:A total of 176 patients were consecutively enrolled from November 2019 to January 2022 of which 138 patients received only standard radical therapy (control group), and 38 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy after standard radical therapy (chemotherapy group). The median follow-up time was 13.4 (2.0-34.0) months. All patients survived. The 30-month EFS rates in the chemotherapy and control groups were 100% and 85.6%, respectively ( P=0.064). There were no events in the chemotherapy group, while there were 12 cases of events in the control group, including 6 cases of biochemical recurrence and 6 cases of imaging progression. The 30-month MFS rates in two groups were 100% and 91.9%, respectively ( P=0.205). After the 1 vs. 2 propensity score matching, the EFS and MFS rates in two groups were 100% vs. 85.7% ( P=0.056), and 100% vs. 92.2% ( P=0.209), respectively. The incidence rates of grade 2 and above urinary toxicity in the chemotherapy and control groups were 2.6% and 7.2% ( P=0.354), respectively. The incidence rates of grade 2 and above rectal toxicity were 5.3% and 5.1% ( P=0.711), respectively. Grade 3 and above chemotherapy-related toxicity in the chemotherapy group were leukopenia (31.6%), thrombocytopenia (2.6%) and alopecia (13.2%). Conclusion:The addition of adjuvant chemotherapy after standard radical therapy tends to improve the overall EFS of patients with highly malignant prostate cancer, and the adverse effects are tolerable, which should be confirmed by long-term follow-up results.

ABSTRACT

Objective:Partial stereotactic ablative boost radiotherapy(P-SABR)is a method to deliver SABR boost to the gross tumor boost volume(GTVb), followed by conventionally fractionated radiotherapy to the whole tumor area(GTV). GTVb is the max volume receiving SABR while ensuring the critical organ-at-risk(OAR)falloff to 3 GyE/f. We investigated the potential advantage of proton therapy in treating bulky non-small cell lung cancer(the tumor length greater than 8 cm).Methods:Nine patients with bulky NSCLC treated with photon P-SABR in our institute were selected. For the treatment planning of proton therapy, the GTVb target area was gradually outwardly expanded based on the photon GTVb target area until the dose to critical OARs reached 3 GyE/f. The GTV and CTV areas remained the same as photon plan. A proton intensity-modulated radiation treatment plan(proton-IMPT), a photon intensity-modulated radiation treatment plan(photon-IMRT)and a photon volumetric modulated arc therapy(photon-VMAT)were created for each patient, respectively. The dosimetric parameters of different treatment plans were compared.Results:The volume ratio of GTVb-photon and GTVb-proton to GTV was(25.4±13.4)% and(69.7±30.0)%,respectively( P<0.001). In photon-IMRT, photon-VMAT, and proton-IMPT plan groups, the mean dose of CTV was(76.1±4.9)Gy, (78.2±3.6)Gy, and(84.7±4.9)Gy, respectively; the ratio of tumor volume with Biologic Effective Dose(BED)≥ 90 Gy to GTV volume was(70.7±21.7)%, (76.8±22.1)%,and(97.9±4.0)%,respectively. The actual dose and BED to the tumor area of the proton-IMPT plan group were significantly higher than those of the photon plan group(both P<0.05). Besides, the OARs dose was significantly decreased in the proton-IMPT group, with(49.2±22.0)%, (56.8±19.0)% and(16.1±6.3)% of the whole lung V5 for photon-IMRT, photon-VMAT and proton-IMPT, respectively(all P<0.001). Conclusions:Larger GTV boost target volume, higher BED and reduced OARs dose can be achieved in proton plans compared with photon plans. Proton P-SABR is expected to further improve the local control rate of bulky NSCLC with fewer adverse effects.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy for all metastases in patients with metachronous oligo-metastatic prostate cancer after radical treatment.Methods:From October 2011 to February 2021, 41 patients with prostate cancer with less than 5 metastases after radical treatment were retrospectively analyzed in a single center. The median age at radiotherapy was 68 (57-81) years. Forty patients (98%) received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). There were 28 patients in the hormone sensitive (HSPC) group and 13 patients in the hormone resistant (CRPC) group. The median initial PSA was 24.4 (7.4-399.0) ng/ml. Tumor stage: T 2 stage 11 patients, T 3 stage 27 patients, T 4 stage 3 patients.30 patients were in N 0 stage and 11 patients in N 1 stage. Gleason score was 7 in 12 patients, 8 in 9 patients, 9 in 18 patients, and 10 in 2 patients.33 patients were treated with surgery, and 8 patients were treated with radiotherapy. The time span from diagnosis to metastasis was 3.1 (0.2-1.8) years. Conventional imaging examination (CT/ MRI/bone scan) before radiotherapy was used in 7 patients, and PSMA PET/CT examination was used in 34 patients.The median PSA before radiotherapy was 1.3(0.1-33.8) ng/ml. There were 62 metastases in 41 patients, including 1 lesion in 28 patients, 2 lesions in 9 patients, 3 lesions in 2 patients, and 5 lesions in 2 patients. Fifty-four patients had bone metastases and eight had retroperitoneal lymph node metastases. Twenty-two bone metastases were located in the pelvis, 18 in the vertebral body, 12 in the ribs, one in the femur and one in the sternum.The median metastatic volume was 5.8(0.2-81.7) cm 3.Daily image-guided rotational intensity modulated radiotherapy was used to cover all metastases.Dose segmentation modes include 37.5Gy/7.5Gy/5F, 60Gy/3Gy/20F, 65-70Gy/2.6-2.8Gy/25F.The median biological effective dose (BED 3) was 120 (67-147) Gy. The primary endpoint was biochemical progression-free survival (BPFS), the secondary endpoints were acute and late toxic side effects, local relapse-free survival (LPFS), and overall survival (OS). Results:The median follow-up time was 21 months (range 5-72 months). All patients completed radiotherapy, and 16 patients had grade 1 to 2 acute toxicity and side effects, and no grade 3 or above acute and late stage side effects. 1-year LPFS was 97.1%.The 1-year and 2-year BPFS were 77.5% and 59.2%, respectively. The median BPFS time was 29 months (range 13.9-44.2 months). Univariate analysis showed that the HSPC group ( P<0.001) and the group with total metastatic volume ≤ 5.8cm 3 ( P=0.010) had higher BPFS. The median BPFS time was 37 months in the retroperitoneal lymph node metastases subgroup and 17 months in the bone metastases subgroup ( P=0.141). In the HSPC group, the median BPFS was 30(22-38) months. After radiotherapy, PSA decreased in all 28 patients, and increased in 6 patients. The median BPFS was 12(4-18) months. In the CRPC group, the median BPFS was 4(0-8) months. PSA decreased in 10 patients (76.9%) after radiotherapy, and PSA decreased in 6 patients. The median BPFS was 5(3-28) months. Three patients’PSA did not decrease after radiotherapy, and they were treated with new endocrine therapy drugs, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other systemic therapy. Conclusions:For patients with metachronous metastases after radical treatment, full coverage radiotherapy has good safety and high local control rate. HSPC patients and patients with low tumor load could be recommended to receive radiotherapy for all metastatic lesions preferentially, and patients with only retroperitoneal lymph node metastases may have better prognosis after radiotherapy than patients with bone metastases.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the roles of ultrasound,laboratory methods,and genetic diagnostic techniques in screening and diagnosing fetuses with an unbalanced recombination of chromosome 18[rec(18)] due to parental pericentric inversion,and the relationship between rec(18) fetal phenotypes and their recombinant chromosomes.Methods We analyzed two pedigrees with pericentric inversion of chromosome 18 (including the fetuses and their parents) which received prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling on March 2017 and March 2018 respectively at Xiamen Maternity and Children Health Care Hospital through karyotype analysis,chromosome microarray analysis(CMA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Literatures were retrieved from Scientific Citation Index,PubMed,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) and Wanfang Data from 1970 to June 2018.The genetic counseling records,ultrasound and laboratory findings,pregnancy outcomes of families with pericentric inversion of chromosome 18 in this study and the included literatures were reported and analyzed.Results Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) of one case indicated high risk of fetal trisomy 18 at 22 weeks of gestation.And the imaging examination indicated that fetus had interventricular septal defect and micrognathia at 24+2 weeks.Prenatal diagnosis confirmed that the fetal karyotype was 46,XY,rec(1 8)dup(18q) inv(18)(p1 1.32q12.1) pat,which was originated from his father whose karyotype was 46,XY,inv(1 8)(p1 1.32q12.1).In the other case,serum screening testing indicated high risk of fetal trisomy 18 at 12+3 weeks.Imaging examination indicated that fetus had thickened nuchal translucency at 13+3 weeks and bilateral choroid plexus cysts at 15+6 weeks.Prenatal diagnosis confirmed that the fetal karyotype was 46,XY,rec(18)dup(18q)inv(18) (p11.32q12.1) mat,which was originated from his mother whose karyotype was 46,XX,inv(18)(p11.32q12.1).Among the nine fetuses,including seven from five pedigrees reported in the literature retrieved and two from the two pedigrees we reported,seven showed abnormal soft markers or structures in ultrasound and three of the seven pedigrees had high risk of fetal trisomy 18.Conclusions Ultrasound screening is highly sensitive in detecting rec(18) fetuses,yet the association between ultrasound features and fetal karyotypes is not clear.The combination of multiple genetic analysis methods,including karyotype analysis,CMA and FISH,may be conducive to clarifying the types and sources of complex derived chromosomes.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the factors associated with illicit drug use (IDU) intention in secondary vocational school students based on theory of triadic influence (TTI), and provide theoretical foundation for IDU prevention education. Methods: A total of 8 870 students were selected from secondary vocational schools in 5 cities in China through multistage cluster sampling. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the information about students' sensation seeking (SS), parental monitoring (PM), perceived availability of drug (PAD), social benefit expectancies(SBE), refusal efficacy (RE) and social norms and IDU intention. Based on the TTI, the logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors associated with IDU. Results: Among the intrapersonal stream of influence, the higher levels of SS was the risk factor associated with IDU (OR=1.71, 95%CI: 1.22-2.41, P<0.01), medium RE level (OR=0.18, 95%CI: 0.14-0.23, P<0.001) and high RE level (OR=0.17, 95%CI: 0.13-0.22, P<0.001) were the protective factors for IDU intention. Among the interpersonal stream of influence, medium PM level (OR=0.46, 95%CI: 0.37- 0.56, P<0.001) and high PM level (OR=0.33, 95%CI: 0.24-0.46, P<0.001) were the protective factors for IDU intention, perceived others' drug use as well as perceived others' approval of substance use were risk factors for IDU intentions (P<0.001); Among sociocultural environmental stream of influence, perceived easy availability of drugs (OR=3.47, 95%CI: 2.69-4.48, P<0.001) and perceived SBE of drugs (OR=2.04, 95%CI: 1.69-2.46, P<0.001) were risk factors for IDU intentions (P<0.001). Conclusions: High levels of SS and SBE, perceived easier availability of substance, perceived others' substance use and perceived others' approval of substance use positively predict the students' intention of IDU. IDU prevention education for adolescents should be focused on the above factors, and parental supervision and students' refuse skills should be improved.

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:Radiomics is an emerging field that generates large amounts of valuable clinical information through extracting quantitative imaging features. The purpose of this study was to use the radiomics approach to assess the value of features captured from PET and CT in predicting the therapeutic effect in stageⅠ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR).Methods:Patients with stageⅠ NSCLC conifrmed by pathology and treated with SABR were included retrospectively. The gross tumor volume (GTV) was deifned by two radiologists. PET and CT scan images were collected, and radiomic features were further extracted and analyzed. Non-negative matrix factorization was used to distinguish patients with or without local control.Results:Sixteen patients were eligible for analysis. This study identiifed two PET features (LL_GLCM_Maximal_Correlation_Coeffcient and HL_GLRMS_LRE) captured from PET/CT as having signiifcance in classifying patients with or without disease development.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the relationship among depression, anxiety, stress and addictive substance use behavior in secondary vocational students.@*Methods@#Cluster sampling method and the Adolescent Health-related Behaviors Questionnaire were used to collect demographic characteristics, psychological symptoms, and addictive substance usage among 5 935 students in nine vocational schools in Chongqing, Zhaoqing, Ningbo, and Taiyuan. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the addictive substance use behavior and psychological factors.@*Results@#The detection rates of depression, anxiety and stress were 46.5% (n=2 762), 58.7% (n=3 483), and 29.8% (n= 1 770), respectively. The prevalence of addictive substances was 74.8% (n=4 440), traditional drugs was 0.8% (n=50), new drugs was 2.8% (n=166), other addictive drugs was 4.1% (n=241). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the normal psychological states of secondary vocational students, the OR value of mild depression tendency alcohol and tobacco use behavior of secondary vocational students was 1.45; the OR values of mild anxiety, moderate anxiety, severe anxiety and very serious anxiety were 1.46, 1.46, 1.71, and 1.83, respectively; the traditional drugs use behaviors were 5.51, and 2.61, respectively, for the severe anxiety and very serious anxiety. Compared with the normal psychological state of secondary vocational students, the OR values of the severe anxiety and very severe anxiety were 2.56, and 2.66, respectively, for severe anxiety and very serious anxiety. Compared with normal psychological status of secondary vocational students, the OR values of mild, moderate, severe, and very severe anxiety were 2.14, 2.47, 2.39, and 3.45, respectively; all P values <0.05.@*Conclusion@#Anxiety and mild depression were risk factors of tobacco and alcohol use in secondary vocational students; severe and above anxiety were the risk factors of drug use in secondary vocational students; anxiety was the risk factor for other addictive drug use in secondary vocational students.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relation of new-type drug using intention,self-efficacy,and perceived stress in secondary vocational school students.Methods:A total of 2692 secondary vocational school students in Zhaoqing,Guangdong Province were selected.The questionnaire of new-type drugs using intention,General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES),and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were respectively used to assess the secondary vocational school students'new-type drugs using intention,self-efficacy,and perceived stress.Path analysis model was used to analyze the relationship of new-type drugs using intention,self-efficacy,and perceived stress among secondary vocational school students.Results:There were 13.6% (295/2165) of the secondary vocational school students reported an intention to use new-type drugs.The total scores of GSES and PSS were (2.4 ±0.5) and (18.8 ±5.0),respectively.The results of path analysis showed that,after controlling for age,gender,and residence,the scores of GSES were negatively correlated with the scores of PSS (γ =-0.21,P <0.001),and the scores of PSS were positively correlated with the scores of questionnaire of new-type drugs using intention (γ =0.05,P < 0.05).However,the scores of GSES showed no significant direct correlation with the scores of questionnaire of new-type drugs using intention (γ =0.04,P > 0.05).Conclusion:The secondary vocational school students' level of perceived stress are positively correlated with their intention to use new-type drugs.Self-efficacy might moderate the individual's level of perceived stress,thus to show indirect correlation to the secondary vocational school students' intention.

ABSTRACT

Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly seen malignant tumors,and the metastatic colorectal cancer is of poor prognosis. The median overall survival for chemotherapy is only 1-1. 5 years. Recently,molecular targeted therapy targeting at vascular endothelial growth factor and epidermal growth factor receptor was used widely for metastatic colorectal cancer and becoming a hot spot of related researches. This article focused on the strategy and hypothesis of molecular targeted therapy for treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:Clinical data show that Endostar, a recombinant human endostatin, has the therapeutic beneift for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) while combined with chemotherapy or ra-diotherapy. However, the microenvironment changes induced by Endostar monotherapy in NSCLC is not yet clear. The purpose of this study was to prospectively study tumor vascular effects of Endostar monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or advanced NSCLC by dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion computed tomography (CT perfusion, CT-p). Methods:Previously untreated patients with histologically or cytologically conifrmed locally advanced or advanced NSCLC were eligible. All patients received daily Endostar (7.5 mg?m2) for 14 days. CT-p scans were acquired at the baseline and post-treatment. CT-p parameters, such as blood lfow (BF), blood volume (BV) and permeability surface PS (area product), were measured in all patients.Results:Of all 7 patients enrolled, four were staged asⅢB and three as stageⅣ (2 with malignant pleural effusion, 1 with brain metastasis). The median BF, BV and PS values of baseline and post-treatment were 27.1/48.9 mL/100 mL/min, 86.8/84.8 mL/100 mL and 45.0/54.0 mL/100 mL/min, respectively. After administration of Endostar for 14 days , BF showed a signiifcant increase compared with that at baseline (P=0.028), whereas no signiifcant changes were found in BV (P=0.398) and PS (P=0.237) values.Conclusion:Our results suggest that Endostar monotherapy induces a signiifcant increase in BF whereas no signiifcant difference in BV and PS.

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:We investigated whether lfuorine-18 lfuorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) maximal standard uptake value (SUVmax) of the primary tumor (SUV-T), SUVmax of the regional lymph nodes (SUV-N) or the overall loco-regional lesion SUVmax (SUV-TOTAL) was related to survival of patients with stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received Cetuximab and combined definitive chemoradiotherpay. Methods:From September 2009 to July 2012, seventeen patients with unresectable stageⅢNSCLC receiving cetuximab with cisplatin/vinorelbine (NP) followed by concomitant NP and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were enrolled onto a prospectively study. All patients received positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) scans within 2 weeks before enrolment. Univariate analysis were used to assess the correlation between SUV-T, SUV-N, SUV-TOTAL, gender, age, histology, tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, performance status (PS) as well as smoking status and survival. The factors which showed statistical signiifcance entered into multivariate Cox-regression model. Survival functions of different populations were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by Log-rank test. Results:In the univariate analysis, SUV-T, SUV-N, SUV-TOTAL, PS and smoking status were prognostic factors. The best cut-off values for SUV-T, SUV-N and SUV-TOTAL were 11, 11 and 20, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that SUV-TOTAL (P=0.012), SUV-T (P=0.025), and SUV-N (P=0.033) were independent predictors of survival with hazard ratio (HR) of 14.7, 11.2, and 6.2, respectively. Conclusion:Local, regional and locoregional maximal SUVs deifned by 18F-FDG PET-CT scanning may have a strong correlation with survival in this patients setting, which merits further study.
