Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the influence of red blood cell transfusion with radiation on serum inflammatory factors and prognosis of perioperative patients with esophageal carcinoma. Methods A total of 159 patients with esophageal carcinoma were enrolled. All patients were randomly classified into radiation-free group (78 cases)and radiation group (81 cases). The radiation-free group was given variant suspended red blood cell. The radiation group was given variant suspended red blood cell with radiation (137Cs,25 Gy). The levels of interleukin (IL)-6,IL-10,tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)and interferon gamma(IFN-γ)were determined before and after surgery in the 2 groups. The prognosis was evaluated. Results On the 1st and 7th days after surgery,the levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in radiation-free group were higher than those before surgery (P<0.05),and were higher than those in corresponding radiation group (P<0.05). On the 1st and 7th days after surgery,the level of IFN-γ in radiation-free group was lower than that before surgery (P<0.01),and was lower than that in corresponding radiation group (P<0.01). On the 1st day after surgery,the level of TNF-α in radiation-free group was lower than that before surgery (P<0.05),and was lower than that in corresponding radiation group (P<0.05). On the 1st and 7th days after surgery,the levels of indices mentioned above in radiation group had no statistical significance compared with those before surgery (P>0.05). The days staying in hospital and in intensive care unit (ICU)had no statistical significance between the 2 groups (P>0.05). For 1,3 and 5 years after surgery,the survival rates in radiation group were higher than those in radiation-free group (P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with common blood transfusion,perioperative blood transfusion with radiation in patients with esophageal carcinoma has no immune suppression,and has a good prognosis. Giving the complexity for the influence of blood transfusion on prognosis,large clinical trials are still needed to confirm the conclusions based on the control of other factors.
