ABSTRACT

@#Esophageal cancer is an aggressive malignancy with high morbidity and poor prognosis. Symptoms of early esophageal cancer are insidious and difficult to detect, while advanced esophageal obstruction, lesion infiltration and metastasis seriously affect patients’ quality of life. Early detection and treatment can help to increase the survival chance of patients. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has shown remarkable success in diagnosis of esophageal cancer, highlighting the great potential of new AI-assisted diagnostic modalities. This paper aims to review recent progress of AI in the diagnosis of esophageal cancer and to prospect its clinical application.

ABSTRACT

Esophageal cancer is an upper gastrointestinal malignancy with a bleak prognosis.It is still being explored in depth due to its complex molecular mechanisms of occurrence and development.Lipids play a crucial role in cells by participating in energy supply,biofilm formation,and signal transduction pro-cesses,and lipid metabolic reprogramming also constitutes a significant characteristic of malignant tu-mors.More and more studies have found esophageal cancer has obvious lipid metabolism abnormalities throughout its beginning,progress,and treatment resistance.The inhibition of tumor growth and the enhancement of antitumor therapy efficacy can be achieved through the regulation of lipid metabolism.Therefore,we reviewed and analyzed the research results and latest findings for lipid metabolism and associated analysis techniques in esophageal cancer,and comprehensively proved the value of lipid metabolic reprogramming in the evolution and treatment resistance of esophageal cancer,as well as its significance in exploring potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To identify the risk factors for prolonged length of stay in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU-LOS) and development of a prediction model in the patients undergoing radical esophagectomy.Methods:The medical records from patients of both sexes, aged 40-80 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠ-Ⅲ, transferred to PACU with tracheal intubation after radical esophagectomy under general anesthesia in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020, were retrospectively collected. The patient′s age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification, smoking history, drinking history, history of non-thoracic surgery, history of hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, preoperative anemia, respiratory diseases, doses of anesthetics, preoperative nerve block, intraoperative consumption of opioids and dexmedetomidine, operation method (thoracotomy and endoscopic surgery), operation time, usage of vascular drugs, bradycardia, hypotension, red blood cell infusion, plasma infusion, total infusion volume, blood loss and urine volume were collected. The extubation time in PACU, visual analog scale scores at rest at 10 min after extubation, consumption of rescue analgesics in PACU, hypoxemia after extubation, and occurrence of nausea and vomiting were also collected. Patients were divided into PACU-LOS normal group (PACU-LOS≤2 h) and PACU-LOS prolonged group (PACU-LOS>2 h) according to the PACU-LOS. Logistic regression analysis was used to identity the risk factors for prolonged PACU-LOS in the patients undergoing radical esophagectomy, and the predictive model was established and verified. The receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the model discrimination and Hosmer-Lemshow goodness-of-fit test was used to evaluate the consistency of the model.Results:A total of 943 patients were included in this study, and the incidence of prolonged PACU-LOS was 15.7%. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( OR=4.900, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 2.512-9.556), increasing age ( OR=22.154, 95% CI 6.736-73.003), prolonged time of extubation ( OR=1.214, 95% CI 1.174-1.256) and hypoxemia after extubation ( OR=4.891, 95% CI 2.167-11.039) were risk factors for prolonged PACU-LOS, and the preoperative use of nerve block ( OR=0.358, 95% CI 0.190-0.672) was a protective factor for prolonged PACU-LOS in the patients undergoing radical esophagectomy ( P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (95% CI) was 0.947 (0.925-0.963), the sensitivity was 0.878, and the specificity was 0.906. The internal validation of the prediction model was carried out using the receiver operating characteristic curve in the validation set, and the area under the curve (95% CI) was 0.942 (0.895-0.942, P<0.001) and the Youden index was 0.784. The line chart prediction model was developed. The prediction analysis model was verified by Hosmer-Lemshow test, P<0.001, and the C-index visualized line chart prediction model was 0.946. Conclusions:Preoperative chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, increasing age, prolonged time of extubation and hypoxemia after extubation are risk factors for prolonged PACU-LOS, and preoperative use of nerve block is a protective factor for prolonged PACU-LOS. The risk prediction model developed can effectively predict the occurrence of prolonged PACU-LOS in the patients undergoing radical esophagectomy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for circular superficial esophageal cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 74 consecutive cases of circular superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with ESD at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019. The success rate of ESD, curative resection rate, incidence of complications, and additional treatment were mainly observed.Results:One case was transferred to surgery, and the remaining 73 cases successfully completed ESD treatment. The success rate of ESD was 98.6%. Postoperative pathology of ESD revealed that 39 cases achieved curative resection, with a curative resection rate of 53.4% (39/73). Intraoperative muscle layer injury occurred in 15 cases (20.5%), and intraoperative perforation occurred in 1 case (1.4%). Two cases (2.7%) experienced delayed bleeding, and one case (1.4%) experienced delayed perforation. Eleven cases were lost to follow-up, and the remaining 62 cases received follow-up for 36.4±19.0 months. Among the follow-up cases, 12 underwent additional surgery and 5 cases additional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Among the 57 patients with follow-up data who did not underwent surgery, 49 developed esophageal stenosis after ESD, with an incidence rate of 86.0%.Conclusion:ESD for circular superficial esophageal cancer is generally safe, but it is prone to muscle layer injury during the operation, with a low curative resection rate, a high incidence of postoperative esophageal stenosis, and a high proportion of additional surgical procedures.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To investigate the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy (MIILE) with reverse-puncture anastomosis. Methods    Clinical data of the patients with lower esophageal carcinoma who underwent MIILE with reverse-puncture anastomosis in our department from May 2015 to December 2020 were collected. Modified MIILE consisted of several key steps: (1) pylorus fully dissociated; (2) making gastric tube under laparoscope; (3) dissection of esophagus and thoracic lymph nodes under artificial pneumothorax with single-lumen endotracheal tube intubation in semi-prone position; (4) left lung ventilation with bronchial blocker; (5) intrathoracic anastomosis with reverse-puncture anastomosis technique. Results     Finally 248 patients were collected, including 206 males and 42 females, with a mean age of 63.3±7.4 years. All 248 patients underwent MIILE with reverse-puncture anastomosis successfully. The mean operation time was 176±35 min and estimated blood loss was 110±70 mL. The mean number of lymph nodes harvested from each patient was 24±8. The rate of lymph node metastasis was 43.1% (107/248). The pulmonary complication rate was 13.7% (34/248), including 6 patients of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Among the 6 patients, 2 patients needed endotracheal intubation-assisted respiration. Postoperative hemorrhage was observed in 5 patients and 2 of them needed hemostasis under thoracoscopy. Thoracoscopic thoracic duct ligation was performed in 1 patient due to the type Ⅲ chylothorax. TypeⅡ anastomotic leakage was found in 3 patients and 1 of them died of acute respiratory distress syndrome. One patient of delayed broncho-gastric fistula was cured after secondary operation. Ten patients with type Ⅰ recurrent laryngeal nerve injury were cured after conservative treatment. All patients were followe up for at least 16 months. The median follow-up time was 44 months. The 3-year survival rate was 71.8%, and the 5-year survival rate was 57.8%. Conclusion    The optimized MIILE with reverse-puncture anastomosis for the treatment of lower esophageal cancer is safe and feasible, and the long-term survival is satisfactory.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To explore the application value of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in the postoperative complications of McKeown surgery for da Vinci robotic esophageal cancer. Methods The clinical data of the patients who underwent da Vinci robotic McKeown surgery for esophageal cancer in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively collected. According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the optimal cut-off value of PNI for predicting postoperative complications was explored. The patients were divided into a high PNI group and a low PNI group according to the cut-off value, and the differences in basic characteristics, surgery-related indexes and postoperative complications between the two groups were analyzed. According to the occurrence of postoperative complications, the patients were divided into a non-complication group and a complication group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to explore the influence of relevant indicators on the occurrence of postoperative complications in da Vinci robotic McKeown surgery for esophageal cancer. Results Finally 120 patients were collected, including 95 males and 25 females, with an average age of 62.82 years. The preoperative hemoglobin content, preoperative blood lymphocyte count, preoperative serum albumin and preoperative blood total cholesterol in the high PNI group were higher than those in the low PNI group (P<0.05). There were statistical differences between the two groups in the incidences of postoperative overall complications, pulmonary infection, pleural effusion and poor incision healing (P<0.05). The relevant indicators that may cause postoperative complications were included in univariate analysis, and the results showed that age, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, preoperative blood lymphocyte count, preoperative hemoglobin content, preoperative blood mononuclear cell count, preoperative blood monocyte count, serum albumin level and PNI were possible influencing factors of postoperative complications after da Vinci robotic McKeown surgery for esophageal cancer. Incorporating these influencing factors into multivariate analysis, the results showed that age, PNI, operation time and intraoperative blood loss were independent influencing factors of postoperative complications. Conclusion PNI has certain predictive value in the postoperative complications of da Vinci robotic McKeown surgery for esophageal cancer. PNI is an independent factor affecting postoperative complications. Improving the level of PNI in esophageal cancer patient before surgery may help reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To investigate the dietary patterns of rural residents in the high-incidence areas of esophageal cancer (EC), and to explore the clustering and influencing factors of risk factors associated with high-incidence characteristics. Methods A special structured questionnaire was applied to conduct a face-to-face survey on the dietary patterns of rural residents in Yanting county of Sichuan Province from July to August 2021. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors of risk factor clustering for EC. Results There were 838 valid questionnaires in this study. A total of 90.8% of rural residents used clean water such as tap water. In the past one year, the people who ate fruits and vegetables, soybean products, onions and garlic in high frequency accounted for 69.5%, 32.8% and 74.5%, respectively; the people who ate kimchi, pickled vegetables, sauerkraut, barbecue, hot food and mildew food in low frequency accounted for 59.2%, 79.6%, 68.2%, 90.3%, 80.9% and 90.3%, respectively. The clustering of risk factors for EC was found in 73.3% of residents, and the aggregation of two risk factors was the most common mode (28.2%), among which tumor history and preserved food was the main clustering pattern (4.6%). The logistic regression model revealed that the gender, age, marital status and occupation were independent influencing factors for the risk factors clustering of EC (P<0.05). Conclusion A majority of rural residents in high-incidence areas of EC in Yanting county have good eating habits, but the clustering of some risk factors is still at a high level. Gender, age, marital status, and occupation are influencing factors of the risk factors clustering of EC.

ABSTRACT

@#Esophageal cancer threatens the lives and health of humans for a long time owing to its high morbidity and mortality. Surgical treatment is still the first choice for early-stage esophageal cancer now, but its high mortality and complication rate during perioperative period cause a huge physiological and psychological burden on patients. The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) was first proposed for colorectal surgery, and later promoted to other surgical fields. Its application in esophagectomy successfully reduces the high mortality and complication rate in the perioperative stage and promotes the rapid recovery of patients. However, the application of ERAS in the field of esophageal cancer is relatively late, and its promotion and application are relatively limited compared to other surgical procedures. In this paper, we review the relevant literature at home and abroad in combination with the current progress of ERAS application of esophageal cancer in China. We also summarize the relevant problems related to the implementation of ERAS, in order to help the promotion and application of ERAS in the surgical treatment of esophageal cancer.

ABSTRACT

@#Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy combined with surgery for locally advanced esophageal cancer has become the standard treatment, and despite the survival benefit, most patients still experience postoperative recurrence and distant metastasis. Immune checkpoint inhibitors play an anti-tumor role by activating T cells, and immunotherapy has become one of the important strategies for first-line and second-line treatment of advanced esophageal cancer with the continuous evolution of immunotherapy models. Regarding neoadjuvant immunotherapy for esophageal cancer, a large number of studies are being carried out and explored, which are expected to inject new vitality into neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer. This article reviews the current clinical studies on neoadjuvant immunotherapy for esophageal cancer.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To investigate the expression of methyltransferase like-3(METTL3)in esophageal cancer tissues and its effects on the proliferation,migration,apoptosis and glutamine metabolism of cells.Methods The expression of METTL3 in esophageal cancer and paraneoplastic tissues was detected by qRT-PCR,Western blot and Immunohistochemistry. The effects of METTL3 inhibitor STM2457 on cell proliferation and migration of human esophageal squamous carcinoma cell lines Eca109 and KYSE150 were detected by CCK8,cloning assay,scratch test and Transwell assay. The effects on cell cycle and cell apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry and TUNEL experiment. TMT/iTRAQ quantitative proteomics experiment was used to identify the effects on downstream related signaling pathways. Glutamine assay,glutamate assay and Western blot were used to analyze the effect on glutamine metabolism in esophageal cancer cells.Results METTL3 gene expression was significantly upregulated in esophageal cancer tissues(t = 5. 024,P < 0. 000 1). STM2457 inhibited METTL3 expression in Eca109 and KYSE150 cells,significantly inhibited the cell proliferation and migration,blocked the cell cycle in G0/G1 phase,increased the cell apoptosis,decreased the glutamine uptake and glutamate production,and down-regulated the expression of glutamine-related proteins alanine-serine-cysteine transporter 2(ASCT2),glutaminase(GLS)and glutamate dehydrogenase 1(GLUD1). The glutamine uptake and glutamate production in Eca109 and KYSE150 cells decreased significantly after METTL3 knockdown(glutamine uptake:t = 24. 52-41. 01,each P < 0. 01;glutamate production:t = 8. 431-11. 83,each P < 0. 01);After METTL3 overexpression,the glutamine uptake and glutamate production in Eca109 and KYSE150 cells increased significantly(glutamine uptake:t = 5. 803 and 56. 13,respectively,each P < 0. 01;glutamate production:t = 11. 06 and 4. 695,respectively,each P < 0. 01). After METTL3 knockdown,the expression levels of glutamine metabolism related proteins ASCT2,GLS and GLUD1 in Eca109 and KYSE150 cells were significantly down-regulated,while after METTL3 overexpression,the expression levels of ASCT2,GLS and GLUD1 were significantly up-regulated.Conclusion METTL3 is highly expressed in esophageal cancer and may promote cell proliferation by mediating glutamine metabolism in esophageal cancer cells.
