Tumor immune evasion is a hallmark of cancer.There are many mechanisms of tumor escape,which mainly include the direct immune escape of tumor and tumor microenvironment mediated immune escape.Recent studies have shown that the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and its tumor cells are closely related to the immune escape.The direct immune escape of tumor which is associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma including the expression decreased or absent of the major histocompatibility complex-Ⅰ on the surface of tumor cell,the lack of costimulatory molecules of tumor and the Fas/FasL system mediated immune escape.And the tumor microenvironment mediated immune escape which is associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma including the immunosuppressive molecule and the immunosuppressive cells of tumor.Researches on the mechanisms of tumor immune evasion can provide new target for treatment and prevention of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective To examine the impact of diabetic foot patients′ negative emotion on the caregiver′quality of life. Methods Totally 100 pairs of diabetic foot patients and their caregivers were investigated using convenience sampling method. Results The incidence of anxiety, depression of hospitalized patients with diabetic foot was 41.5% (23/200), 44.0% (88/200) respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that anxiety score were negatively correlated with caregivers′ quality of life except for mental health dimension, physical pain dimension and the total score of physical health, mental health and the MOS item Short from Health Survey (SF-36) (r=-0.471--0.117, P<0.05), and depression score were negatively correlated with caregivers′ quality of life except for physical pain dimension and the total score of physical health, mental health and SF-36(r=-0.519--0.220, P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis indicated that caregivers educational level, provided support, social support , relationship with patients, self-evaluation of health, live together time with patient, patient care burden, caregivers gender, depression score, patient age, diabetic foot Wagner grade were the influence factors of the caregiver′ quality of life. Conclusions Diabetic foot patients′ negative emotion has an important impact on caregiver′quality of life, we can improve the quality of life of patients and their caregivers by reducing the negative mood of patients with diabetic foot.

Objective To explore the immune function of the whole body and the tumor site of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients as well as its correlation with CCR4. Methods The ratios of CD4~+CD25~+T cells and CCR4+cells to lymphocytes were measured by flow cytometry in tissues (25 cases) and peripheral blood (35 cases) from nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, and then statistical analysis was made. Results The ratios of CD4~+CD25~+T cells and CCR4+ cells in tissue and peripheral blood of NPC were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). In NPC the ratios of the two cells in tissue were higher than in peripheral blood respectively (P<0.05), but there was no such difference between tissue and peripheral blood in the control group (P>0.05). The ratio of CD4~+CD25~+T cells in tissue at stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ was higher than that at stage Ⅰ+Ⅱ of NPC (P<0.05), but there was no such difference between the two stages in peripheral blood in NPC. There was a positive correlation between CD4~+CD25~+T cells and CCR4+ cells in tissue and peripheral blood of NPC (P<0.05). Conclusion NPC patients have different immunosuppression, and there is even more severe immunosuppression in the tumor site. The ratio of CD4~+CD25~+T cells is correlated with the stage of NPC. Therefore, as NPC progresses to later stages, the percentage of CD4~+CD25~+T cells is increased, which is correlated with poor prognosis. CCR4 plays an important role in reactant of CD4~+CD25~+T cells to tumor sites, and is resistant to immunosurveillance.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the combined transfection of the siRNA target for Hif-lα and Survivin gene to human NPC CNE-2 cell and its effects on the proliferation and cycle of this cell.
METHOD:
Combined transfection of the siRNA target for Hif-lα and Survivin gene to human NPC CNE-2 cell, these plasmids were respectively transfected into the same cells. Cell proliferation was detected with MTT assay. The inhibitory effects on target genes were evaluated with RT-PCR and Western Blot at the levels of mRNA and protein, respectively.
RESULT:
MTT showed that CNE-2 cell proliferation in multi-gene plasmid group was more significantly inhibited than a single gene. The expression of mRNA and protein of two different genes were both decreased in HS group, and the interference effect of multiple genes was better than the single-gene(P<0.01).
CONCLUSION
HS group could restrain cell proliferation and interference the mRNA and protein expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cell, which was better than the other groups.
