Objective:To study the effects of different Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA load, induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy and concurrent radiochemotherapy on patients with stage Ⅲ nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods:A total of 178 patients with stage Ⅲ NPC were selected as the study subjects in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the First People′s Hospital of Xianning of Hubei Province from January 2012 to March 2019, including 44 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. According to the pre-treatment EBV DNA load of 1 000 copies/ml, the patients were divided into high viral load group (EBV DNA≥1 000 copies/ml, n=53) and low viral load group (EBV DNA<1 000 copies/ml, n=125), and 14 patients in the high viral load group and 30 patients in the low viral load group received adjuvant chemotherapy. According to treatment method, the patients were divided into induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy group ( n=105) and concurrent radiochemotherapy group ( n=73). The general clinical data, recurrence rate, 5-year overall survival (OS) rate, disease free survival (DFS) rate, local recurrence free survival (LRFS) rate and disease metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rate of each group were compared. Results:Among 178 patients with stage Ⅲ NPC, 34 cases recurred, accounting for 19.10%, and 29 cases died, accounting for 16.29%. There was a statistically significant difference in N staging between the induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy group and the concurrent radiochemotherapy group ( χ2=6.40, P=0.01). The tumor recurrence rate in the high viral load group was 33.96% (18/53), and that in the low viral load group was 12.80% (16/125), and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=10.79, P<0.01). The recurrence rate of lymph nodes [(9.43% (5/53) vs. 1.60% (2/125), χ2=4.15, P=0.04], the distant metastasis rate [18.87% (10/53) vs. 5.60% (7/125), χ2=7.59, P=0.01] were significantly higher than those in the low viral load group, and there were statistically significant differences. The tumor recurrence rate of patients in the induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy group was 17.14% (18/105), and that in the concurrent radiochemotherapy group was 21.91% (16/73), and there was no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.63, P=0.43). The 5-year OS rate, DFS rate, LRFS rate and DMFS rate of 178 patients with stage Ⅲ NPC were 84.68%, 72.80%, 79.68% and 79.54%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate (79.25% vs. 92.80%, χ2=6.86, P<0.01), DFS rate (73.58% vs. 88.00%, χ2=5.67, P=0.01), LRFS rate (73.21% vs. 89.24%, χ2=8.32, P<0.01) and DMFS rate (65.24% vs. 78.00%, χ2=4.15, P=0.02) in the high viral load group were significantly lower than those in the low viral load group, and there were statistically significant differences. The 5-year OS rate (89.52% vs. 87.67%, χ2=0.15, P=0.70), DFS rate (84.76% vs. 82.19%, χ2=0.21, P=0.65), LRFS rate (80.38% vs. 79.84%, χ2=0.00, P=1.00) and DMFS rate (79.52% vs. 81.78%, χ2=0.05, P=0.83) in the induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy group were not statistically significant compared with those in the concurrent radiochemotherapy group, and there were no statistically significant differences. The 5-year OS rate of 44 patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy was significantly higher than that of patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (93.77% vs. 87.49%), and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.21, P=0.02). In the high viral load group, the 5-year OS rate of patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy was significantly higher than that of patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (93.77% vs. 84.13%), and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.11, P=0.03). Conclusion:Induction chemotherapy+ radiotherapy can achieve the same therapeutic effect as concurrent radiochemotherapy. High viral load is associated with high recurrence rate and poor survival rate. For these patients with high viral load, treatment intensity needs to be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of hyperthermia of different degrees in killing tumor cells and its influence on Na+ -K+ -ATPase activities in erythrocytes. Methods Cultured low differentiated stomach gland tumor cells (SGC-170) and large intestine gland tumor cells (LOVO) (1?106?ml-1 each) were mixed with concentrated RBCs respectively and incubated in warm bath of 37℃ , 42℃, 43℃ , 45℃ or 47℃ for 40 min respectively. After hyperthermic treatment tumor cells were isolated from RBCs using density gradient centrifugation and the live tumor cells were counted by typan staining. The isolated tumor cells were then cultured and the clone formation of tumor cells was checked. The cultured tumor cells were marked with 5-bromo deoxyuridine and DNA metabolism was examined. The Na+ -K+ -ATPase activities in RBC after hyperthermic treatment were also determined. Results The amount of tumor cells was significantly decreased by 40 min hyperthermic treatment in a temperature-dependent manner from 42-471 as compared with the control group (37℃) (P

Objective To investigate the expression of Pin1 and cyclin D1 in human pancreatic carcinoma and to discuss its role in oncogenesis of pancreatic cancer.Methods The mRNA expression of Pin1 and cyclinD1 in pancreatic tumor tissues and corresponding adjacent nontumor tissues 27 patients was detected by the real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RQ-RT-PCR).The results of RQ-RT-PCR were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Fisher's exact probabilities test.Results Cyclin D1 and Pin1 were overexpressed at mRNA level in pancreatic carcinoma tissues compared with their adjacent nontumor tissues.Cyclin D1 overexpression were found in 14 of 20 pancreatic carcinoma tissue specimens and Pin1 overexpression in 13 of 20 carcinoma tissue specimens.The expression of cyclin D1 and Pin1 in pancreatic cystadenoma tissues was not different than that of corresponding adjacent nontumor pancreatic tissue.Pin1 overexpression positively correlated with an increase in cyclin D1 levels as shown by Fisher's exact probabilities test.However,Pin1 and cyclin D1 expression was not correlated with clinical stage and pathological parameters.Conclusions The overexpression of Pin1 in pancreatic carcinoma tissues could promote cyclin D1 expression,which might be a critical event in oncogenesis of pancreatic carcinoma.Pin1 may play a key role in pancreatic carcinoma.
