ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the differences of measurement of gross target volume (GTV)between endoscopic ultrasonography ( EUS )-based ( GTVEUS ) and computed tomography ( CT ) -based (GTVCT) method for thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods EUS was performed on 36consecutive patients with thoracic squamous cell carcinoma, and the superior and inferior boarders of the tumor defined by EUS were marked with hemoclips. The CT planning scan was then performed with the patient in supine position, and the GTVCT and GTVEUS were contoured respectively. The lengths ( LCT and LEUS) and spatial locations of longitudinal GTVCT and GTVEUS were compared. Results The mean LCT and LEUS were (7. 79 ± 3. 15 ) cm and (7. 42 ± 2. 72) cm, respectively ( t = 0. 82, P > 0. 05 ), with a correlation coefficient of 0. 61 (P <0. 001 ). Locations of longitudinal GTVCT and GTVEUS were compared in 34cases, with 2 excluded for invisualization on CT. The mean conformal index (CI) was (0. 79 ± 0. 18 ), and spatial variations were found in 71% patients, with 8 patients at proximal end and 21 others at distal end.There was no clip placement associated complication. Conclusion Endoscopic hemoclips placement is safe and reliable. EUS can provide additional information to CT in defining longitudinal GTV in thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, especially in superficial and submucosal carcinomas.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate of human esophageal squamous carcinoma cells(Eca-109) in which cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 gene was knocked down by adenovirus delivered siRNA.Methods Based on the plasmid pSUPER cloned with RNA polymerase Ⅲ-dependent promoter HI,the interfering plasmid psiRNA/COX-2 targeting human COX-2 mRNA was constructed,The siRNA/COX-2 fragment was derived from psiRNA/COX-2 digested by Not I and Xho 1.and was cloned into the shuttle plasmid pAdTrack.Then pAdTrack/siRNA/COX-2 was obtained and co transfected into the E.coli strain BJ5183 with the bone plasmid pAdEasy-1,the recombinant adenovirus Ad/siRNA/COX-2 was generated by homologous recombination.Having been packaged and amplified in cells 293,Ad/siRNA/COX-2 was transfected into Eca-109 cells.The PGE2 concentration in the cells culture supernatant was determined by ELISA,and the level of COX-2 mRNA in the cells was tested by real time PCR.Moreover,cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry,and cells growth curve was protracted.Results The recombinant adenovirus Ad/siRNA/COX-2 was successfully constructed.Ninty six hours after Ad/ siRNA/COX 2 transfecting into Eca 109 cells,COX-2 mRNA was reduced by 71.7%,and PGE2 concentration in the cells culture supernatant was decreased by 62.0%.Correspondingly,the growth of cells slowed down.At the same time,the cells in G0-G1 phase was increased by 32.24%,and those in S phase and G2-M phase were reduced by 16.38% and 15.86%.respectively.And cells apoptosis index was increased by 9.19%.Conclusion The adenovirus based-RNAi was capable of knocking down remarkably COX-2 of human esopbageal carcinoma cells,which lead to growth of cells slowing down.
