Abstract
BACKGROUND Hiatal hernia (HH) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are risk factors for esophageal adenocarcinoma. High positive margin rates and poor survival were described among HH patients undergoing esophagectomy. We sought to describe incidence and impact of HH on outcomes following esophagectomy. METHODS Patients who underwent esophagectomy 2012-2019 for esophago-junctional carcinoma were included. CT studies were blindly reviewed by two radiologists. A third radiologist reviewed cases of disagreement. Hernias ≥ 3 cm were included in the HH group. RESULTS Overall, 66 patients (33%) had HH ≥ 3 cm. The no hernia group included 12 patients (6%) with < 3 cm HH and 106 (53%) without HH. Preoperative variables were comparable among groups. Location of anastomosis was similar among cohorts and predominantly cervical (n = 97, 82.2% vs 61, 92.4%, p = 0.113). Postoperatively, HH patients had higher incidence of atrial dysrhythmia (n = 11, 16.7% vs n = 6, 5.1% p = 0.015). Rates of R0 resections were similar (n = 62, 93.9%, vs n = 113, 95.8%, p = 0.724). HH patients had higher rates of signet ring cell histology (n = 14, 21.2% vs n = 9, 7.6% p = 0.025); this was confirmed on subgroup analysis including only adenocarcinoma patients (n = 14, 28.6% vs n = 8, 12.3%, p = 0.042). On Cox regression analysis, HH was not associated with disease-free or overall survival (HR 1.308, p = 0.274 and HR .905, p = 0.722). CONCLUSIONS Patients with preoperative HH had higher rates of postoperative atrial dysrhythmias and signet ring cell features on pathology. In a population with predominant cervical anastomosis, positive margin rates were low and survival comparable among cohorts.

[PMID: 37746988 PMCID: PMC10519476 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is one of the most complications after esophagectomy. Thus, our study was conducted to explore risk factors that are associated with POAF following esophagectomy. In the current study, we retrospectively evaluated 511 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy at our center between May 2018 and December 2020. The incidence of POAF and clinical variables were collected and analyzed. POAF occurred in 62 (12.13%) of 511 patients. Increasing age (P = .004) and lower preoperative albumin level (P = .028) was significantly associated with POAF. The length of stay was significantly increased in patients with POAF when compared to patients without POAF (P = .003). Multivariate analysis suggested that age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.049, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.008-1.093, P = .020), hypertension (OR = 2.207, 95% CI = 1.221-3.987, P = .009), respiratory complications (OR = 2.015, 95% CI = 1.130-3.591, P = .018) and Ivor Lewis approach (OR = 3.001, 95% CI = 1.032-8.723, P = .044) were independent risk factors for POAF following esophagectomy. Increasing age, preoperative hypertension, respiratory complications and Ivor Lewis approach are independent risk factors for POAF after esophagectomy. POAF is associated with prolonged length of stay. This study suggests that older patients, patients with hypertension or patients underwent Ivor Lewis approach should be monitored more closely during the postoperative period.

Abstract
Circular RNA (circRNA) is a large class of covalently closed circular RNA. As a member of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), it participates in the regulation of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network and plays an important role in the regulation of physiology and pathology. CircRNA is produced by the reverse splicing of exon, intron or both, forming exon or intron circRNA. Studies have shown that circRNA is a ubiquitous molecule, which exceeds the linear mRNA distributed in human cells. Because of its covalent closed-loop structure, circRNA is resistant to RNase R, which is more stable than linear mRNA; circRNA is highly conserved in different species. It was found that circRNA competitively adsorbs miRNA, as a miRNA sponge, to involve in the expression regulation of a variety of genes and plays an important role in tumor development, invasion, metastasis and other processes. These molecules offer new potential opportunities for therapeutic intervention and serve as biomarkers for diagnosis. In this paper, the origin, characteristics and functions of circRNA and its role in tumor development, invasion and metastasis, diagnosis and prognosis are reviewed.

[PMID: 34020369 PMCID: PMC8144479 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2021.101126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
As organ-specific three-dimensional cell clusters derived from cancer tissue or cancer-specific stem cells, cancer-derived organoids are organized in the same manner of the cell sorting and spatial lineage restriction in vivo, making them ideal for simulating the characteristics of cancer and the heterogeneity of cancer cells in vivo. Besides the applications as a new in vitro model to study the physiological characteristics of normal tissues and organs, organoids are also used for in vivo cancer cell characterization, anti-cancer drug screening, and precision medicine. However, organoid cultures are not without limitations, i.e., the lack of nerves, blood vessels, and immune cells. As a result, organoids could not fully replicate the characteristics of organs but partially simulate the disease process. This review attempts to provide insights into the organoid models for cancer precision medicine.
