ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of resectable esophageal small cell carcinoma after surgical resection.MethodsA retrospective study of patients with resectable esophageal small cell carcinoma undergoing surgical resection from January 2009 to June 2015 in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Sichuan Provincial Fourth People's Hospital and Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University was performed. Survival analysis was conducted by Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test. Cox regression model was used for identifying independent prognostic factors.ResultsA total of 53 patients with resectable esophageal small cell carcinoma were included for analysis. The mean age was 58.4 ± 8.3 years and there were 42 male patients and 11 female patients. Forty-two patients were diagnosed as pure esophageal small cell carcinoma while 11 patients were diagnosed with mixed esophageal small cell carcinoma, who were all mixed with squamous cell carcinoma. Most of the esophageal small cell carcinomas were located in the middle (58.5%) and lower (32.1%) segments of the esophagus. Thirty patients (56.6%) were found to have lymph node metastasis, and 7 patients (13.2%) were found to have lymphovascular invasion. According to the 2009 TNM staging criteria for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, there were 12 patients with stage Ⅰ disease, 19 patients with stage Ⅱ disease, and 22 patients with stage Ⅲ disease. Most of the patients underwent left thoracotomy with two-field lymphadenectomy. Postoperatively, only twenty-two patients (41.5%) received adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The median survival time of these patients was 20.1 months, and the 1- and 3-year survival rate was 75.5% and 33.1%, respectively. For prognosis, age, gender, pathological type, tumor location, and lymphovascular invasion had no significant impact on long-term survival of these patients. However, TNM stage (1 year survival rate: stage Ⅰ: 91.7%; stage Ⅱ: 78.9%; stage Ⅲ: 63.6%; P=0.004) and postoperative adjuvant therapy (1 year survival rate: 81.8% vs. 71.0%; P=0.005) had significant impact on the survival of patients with esophageal small cell carcinoma. In multivariate analysis, TNM stage and postoperative adjuvant therapy were independent prognostic factors for long-term prognosis of patients with esophageal small cell carcinoma.ConclusionEsophageal small cell carcinoma is very rare, with high malignancy and poor prognosis. For patients with resectable esophageal small cell carcinoma, the TNM staging system of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma can be used to direct the choice of treatment options. For early stage esophageal small cell carcinoma (stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ), surgery plus postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy can be the prior therapeutic choice, while for locally advanced esophageal small cell carcinoma (stage Ⅲ), chemoradiotherapy should be the preferred treatment.
目的 观察多西他赛三药及两药联合对胃癌根治术后辅助化学疗法（化疗）的疗效比较及不良反应。 方法 回顾性分析解放军总医院2006年1月－2011年12月42 例胃癌根治术后患者的临床资料，其中有22例、20例患者分别接受以多西他赛为基础的三药、两药联合辅助化疗。三药联合：多西他赛注射液+铂类+氟尿嘧啶/卡培他滨片/替吉奥；两药联合：多西他赛注射液+氟尿嘧啶/卡培他滨片/替加氟或多西他赛注射液+铂类；主要观察终点：无疾病生存期（DFS），次要观察终点：预后因素分析、复发转移情况、不良反应及亚组分析。 结果 两组中位DFS分别为9.530、7.170个月（P=0.646）；性别、年龄、肿瘤浸润深度、脉管癌栓、淋巴结清扫范围是患者早期复发转移的不良预后因素，三药联合组肝转移率高于两药联合组（P=0.008）；主要不良反应为恶心、呕吐、白细胞减少、腹泻、脱发、血小板减少等，多为1～2级，可耐受，三药联合组较两药联合组易出现不良反应（P=0.011），以恶心、呕吐为主。 结论 胃癌根治术后以多西他赛为基础的辅助化疗三药、两药联合对患者疗效及预后无明显差异，且两种辅助疗法不良反应基本可耐受。
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy of exercise therapy on functional and activity recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL).MethodsPubMed, EMbase, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of exercise therapy on functional and activity recovery after ACL from inception to May 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 11 RCTs involving 602 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: 1 week (MD=3.07, 95%CI 1.37 to 4.77, P=0.000 4) and 3 weeks (MD=4.53, 95%CI 2.34 to 6.71, P<0.000 1) conventional exercise training rehabilitation effects were better than natural recovery under orthopedic routine care in promoting knee joint function recovery. The recovery effects of over 6 months neuromuscular training was significantly increased compared with conventional rehabilitation (MD=11.48, 95%CI 8.25 to 14.71, P<0.000 01). In addition, there was significant difference between open and closed chain exercise rehabilitation after more than 6 months rehabilitation training (MD=6.77, 95%CI 0.86 to 12.68, P=0.02).ConclusionsThe current evidence shows that over 6 months neuromuscular training significantly enhance the recovery of motor function after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. According to different reconstruction methods, individualized rehabilitation program is developed to maximize the recovery of knee joint function. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify above conclusions.
