Purpose: The effectiveness of thoracic radiation therapy (TRT) in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) patients is increasingly reported, but there is no definite consensus on its application. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with better outcomes of TRT among patients with ES-SCLC, focusing on whether a higher TRT dose could improve treatment outcome. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 85 patients with ES-SCLC who received TRT between January 2008 and June 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Eligibility criteria were a biological effective dose with α/β = 10 (BED) higher than 30 Gy₁₀ and completion of planned radiotherapy. Results: During a median follow-up of 5.3 months, 68 patients (80.0%) experienced disease progression. In univariate analysis, a BED >50 Gy₁₀ was a significant prognostic factor for overall survival (OS; 40.8% vs. 12.5%, p = 0.006), progression-free survival (PFS; 15.9% vs. 9.6%, p = 0.004), and intrathoracic PFS (IT-PFS; 39.3% vs. 20.5%, p = 0.004) at 1 year. In multivariate analysis, a BED >50 Gy₁₀ remained a significant prognostic factor for OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.502; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.287-0.876; p = 0.015), PFS (HR = 0.453; 95% CI, 0.265-0.773; p = 0.004), and IT-PFS (HR = 0.331; 95% CI, 0.171-0.641; p = 0.001). Response to the last chemotherapy was also associated with better OS in both univariate and multivariate analysis. Conclusion: A TRT dose of BED >50 Gy₁₀ may be beneficial for patients with ES-SCLC. Further studies are needed to select patients who will most benefit from high-dose TRT.

Han, Bo,Yoon, Soonseek,Han, Hongryul,Wang, Xiaolong Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2004 Animal Bioscience Vol.17 No.11

A flock of AA breed chickens were reared in peterstme brood-vait chamber and were provided with high energy pelleted feed. At 14 d of age, a total of 350 birds were randomly divided into 3 groups as follows: 100 birds were exposed to normal ambient temperature of 20$^{\circ}C$ for control group; 150 birds were exposed to lower ambient temperature of 11$^{\circ}C$ to induce ascites (treatment I); and another group of 100 birds were exposed to lower ambient temperature of 11$^{\circ}C$ and fed diet containing 1% L-arginine for ascitic prophylactic treatment (treatment II). Samples were collected from blood and abdominal fluid of chicken at 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 wk of age subsequently, to analysis the contents of plasma endothelin (ET-1), angiotensin II (Ang II), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). The results indicated that the contents of cAMP, cGMP, and Ang II in reatment I and ascitic broilers were higher than the corresponding control group (p<0.01, p<0.05), ET-1 of preascitic broilers were control group (p<0.05), while there was an insignificant difference with later ascitic broilers. The contents of cAMP and cGMP in treatment II were higher than the treatment I and control groups (p<0.01, p<0.05), whereas, the contents of Ang II were gradually decreased compared to the control group (p<0.05), the contents of ET-1 were insignificantly different. On further analysis, the increased plasma Ang II at low ambient temperature condition in broilers made endothelium cell secretion of increased ET-1, cAMP, cGMP and decreased NO. Therefore, low temperature accelerated ascites syndrome in broilers. Supplemently L-arginine can decrease ET-1, and increase cAMP and cGMP. It is concluded that cAMP mediated in broilers pulmonary hypertension syndrome.

목적 : 작업장에서의 누적소음노출값과 혈압의 변화 사이의 관계를 관찰하기 위한 단면 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 소음발생 제조업체의 남성근로자 중 건강진단 자료, 설문지 자료, 인사기록이 모두 갖추어진 852명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 작업장 소음측정값은 34개 지점에서 측정된 작업환경 측정 보고서 값을 사용하였고, 혈압은 건강진단시 측정한 수축기 혈압과 이완기 혈압 각각의 평균을 이용하였다. 가능한 교란변수들을 건강진단시 설문조사를 통하여 조사하였다. 근로자의 근무기간과 근무했던 작업부서의 소음노출값을 이용하여 누적소음노출값을 추정하였고, 이에 따라 전체 연구대상 근로자를 저소음노출군, 중등도소음노출군, 고소음노출군, 과다소음노출군으로 구분하였다. 누적소음노출값으로 구분한 소음노출군 사이에 평균 수축기 혈압 및 이완기 혈압의 차이가 있는 지를 나이, 비만도지수, 혈중 콜레스테롤값, 고혈압의 가족력, 흡연력, 음주력 등의 가능한 교란변수들의 영향을 통제한 상태에서 비교하였다. 결과 : 가능한 교란변수들을 보정한 상태에서 저소음노출군에서 과다소음노출군으로 갈수록 수축기 혈압 및 이완기 혈압의 증가가 있는지를 관찰하기 위해 일반선형모델을 이용하여 분석하였을 때, 수축기 혈압 및 이완기 혈압 모두 소음노출군이 혈압 변화의 유의한 설명변수였고, 수축기 혈압 및 이완기 혈압 모두 저소음노출군에 비해 과다소음노출군이 각각 2.1 mmHg, 2.7 mmHg 만큼 높았다. 결론 : 이는 만성적으로 누적된 고소음에의 노출로 인하여 혈압 상승의 가능성이 있음을 시사한다. Objectives : The association of workplace cumulative noise exposure and blood pressure was investigated in this study using cross-sectional design. Methods : The study population comprised 852 manufacturing male workers of whom occupational health examination data, questionnaire and personnel records were available. Workplace ambient noise monitoring data was used for calculating individual cumulative noise exposure level. Mean of each systolic and diastolic blood pressure of occupational health examination data was used for individual systolic and diastolic blood pressure level. Possible confounding variables including family history of hypertension, smoking habit, alcohol drinking habit were collected by questionnaire. On the basis of job location and duration of work at the location, a cumulatlve time-weighted average noise level was calculated for each workers. According to this cumulative noise exposure level, each study subject was categorized as low noise exposure group, moderate noise exposure group, high noise exposure group, very high noise exposure group. Among noise exposure groups, mean of systolic and diastolic blood pressure was compared after adjusting possible confounding variables such as age, body mass index, serum cholesterol level, family history of hypertension, smoking history, alcohol drinking habit. Results : After adjusting possible confounding variables, noise exposure group was signnificant explanatory variables for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and mean of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure of very high exposure group was higher than that of low exposure group. Conclusions : These findings suggested that the high cumulative noise exposure might elevate the blood pressure.
