Article Abstract
Purpose: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by esophagectomy is the usual approach to manage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The optimal interval to operate after completion of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) still remains controversial.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted to observe and compare postoperative complications and pathological outcomes in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus who underwent NACRT followed by surgery within 8 weeks or after 8 weeks of NACRT completion. The pathological complete response was assessed using the Mandard tumor regression grade. Morbidity and mortality were compared and were graded using the Clavien-Dindo scale.
Results: The study included 50 patients, 19 patients in the < 8-week group and 31 in the > 8-week group study. Patients underwent thoracoscopy-assisted esophagectomy with neoesophagus formation using gastric conduit. There was a significant difference in mortality between the two groups, with three mortalities in the < 8-week group and none in the other group (p = 0.022). Postoperative complications and pathological outcomes did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups.
Conclusion: The pathological response in ESCC cases does not appear to be impacted by the interval between NACRT and surgery; nevertheless, early surgery was associated with a higher risk of mortality.

Ethyl Acetate Extract of Oratosquilla Inhibits the Growth of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma through the Hippo Pathway.
J Environ Pathol Toxicol Oncol
January 2025
The Hippo pathway and its transcription co-activator YAP play a critical role in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis and the control of organ size. In the past several years, YAP has been found to be expressed in various human cancers, however, its expression in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) remains unstudied. In this report, we found that YAP was overexpressed in human NPC tissues, and its expression was also significantly higher in five NPC cell lines when compared with the nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69 (P < 0.

The aim of this study was to assess current practices and compare outcomes for patients with locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma across the UK and Ireland.
Methods: This was a retrospective multicentre cohort study of patients managed with curative intent for squamous cell carcinoma of the middle or distal oesophagus in 23 hospitals across the UK and Ireland.
Airway Goblet Metaplasia Resulting from YAP/TAZ Deletion Drives Pulmonary Inflammatory Responses.

The increased presence of goblet epithelial cells in conducting airways of the respiratory system is common in pulmonary disorders and is often accompanied by disrupted immune and alveolar responses. Signaling effectors that restrict goblet cell production include YAP and TAZ, transcriptional regulators of Hippo signaling, which repress goblet cell differentiation in the airway epithelium. Here, we investigated the acute responses to goblet cell metaplasia that are induced by the conditional loss of YAP/TAZ in club epithelial cells of adult mouse lungs.

Glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy are complex eye diseases that involve inflammation. Several cellular models are developed to study inflammation mechanisms in the posterior segment of the eye. These models, are composed of cells of various origins (human or animal), derived from different tissues (retina, choroid, skin, and umbilical cord) and belonging to different cell types (epithelial, endothelial, vascular, and neuronal).
