Objective To observe the effect of residual tumor after radiotherapy on survival rate of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods From Jan. 1989 to Dec. 1998, 108 of 304 NPC patients pathologically confirmed, had residual tumor after radical radiotherapy, of whom, 26, 68, 14 had residual lesion in the nasopharyngeal cavity alone, cervical lymph node alone, and nasopharyngeal cavity plus cervical lymph node. Results The overall 1 , 3 , 5 , and 10 year survival rates (OS) significantly decreased in the residual group. The highest OS was in the group with nasopharynx residual alone, and the lowest in nasopharynx plus residual lymph node group. The bigger the residual lesion, the lower the OS. Conclusions The overall survival rate decreases in patients with residual lesion after radiotherapy, especially in patients with both nasophrynx and regional lymph node residual. Tumor residual after radiotherapy can be a prognostic indicator for patients with NPC.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of elective nodal irradiation (ENI) and involved field irradiation (IFI) combined with chemotherapy in treatment of esophageal cancer.Methods:A total of 104 patients with esophageal cancer in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from May 2018 to May 2020 were selected as subjects for prospective study. All patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group by lottery method with 52 cases in each group. The target volume of observation group was delineated with IFI, and the control group was delineated with ENI. The curative effects, the levels of serum tumor markers [carbohydrate antigen 50 (CA50), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)] before and after treatment, the 1-year overall survival (OS) rate, the incidence of adverse reactions and the scores of various dimensions of health survey summary (SF-36) after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group was 90.38% (47/52), the total effective rate in the control group was 84.62% (44/52), and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 0.79, P =0.374). There was no statistical difference in CA50, CEA, SCC levels between the two groups before and after treatment (all P > 0.05). After treatment, the CA50, CEA and SCC levels in the two groups were lower than those before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The 1-year OS rate of the observation group was 94.23%, the control group was 90.38%, and the difference in OS between the two groups was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 0.54, P = 0.462). The incidence of acute radiation esophagitis in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.001). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in SF-36 scale scores of physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, mental health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and general health after treatment (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:Both ENI and IFI are effective treatments for patients with esophageal cancer. There is no significant difference in the quality of life of patients between the two delineation methods, but the incidence of acute radiation esophagitis is lower in patients with IFI regimen.

Objective The aims of this study were to construct short hairpin RNA(shRNA)lentiviral vector in breast cancer T47D cells,to carry out RNA interference on lysine acetyltransferase 6B(KAT6B/MORF)gene,to down-regulate its expression and to explore its function.Methods Two pairs of single-stranded short hairpin RNA(shRNA5 and shRNA8)and the corresponding control sequences(Scramble5 and Scramble8)were synthesized based on the CDS of KAT6B gene.Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was used to amplify double-stranded and ligated with the entry vector(pENTR/pSM2(CMV)GFP),which were subjected to a doub-le digestion(EcoRl and Xhol)linearization and homologous recombination with the entry vector(pENTR/pSM2(CMV)GFP)to obtain an entry clone containing the desired fragment.The target fragment was recombined onto the target vector(pLenti x1 puro DEST)via the LR cloning reaction of the Gateway system.The lentiviral packaging plasmids were co-transfected into HEK-293T cells with two pairs of target plasmids. The supernatant of HEK -293T cells was collected and transformed into T47D cells. The expression of KAT6B protein was detected in T47D cells by Western blot.Results The single colony obtained from the transformation was identi-fied by sequencing,which was consistent with the target sequence,indicating that the lentiviral vector had been successfully construc-ted.The expression of KAT6B protein was significantly lower in the shRNA KAT6B group than that in the control group,which indica-ted that the constructed gene silencing vector could play a role in the KAT6B gene in T47D cells.Conclusion The shRNA lentiviral gene silencing vectors of KAT6B were constructed and identified in T47D cells,which indicated that the foundation for further study
