Radiotherapy(RT) is one of the principle treatment options for prostate cancer.Modern RT and surgery show similar progression-free survival in localized prostate cancer.Adjuvant RT compared to observation significantly diminishes the risk of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression and local failure for patients at the highest risk for recurrence after radical prostatectomy,including with seminal vesicle invasion,extraprostatic extension,extensive positive margins,and detectable postoperative PSA.Salvage RT is effective at controlling local recurrence and reduces the risk of distant metastasis and prostate cancerspecific mortality (PCSM) for patients with PSA or local recurrence after prostatectomy.Hypofractionated radiotherapy of recent years' reports shows similar cancer control rates without an increased risk of late toxicity in comparison to conventional regimens.The addition of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) to radiation improves the overall survival and biochemical progression-free survival(bPFS) for intermediate-risk and high-risk patients.

Objective To investigate the expressions of tumor suppressor gene FEZ1 and hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and their correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis. Methods A total of 146 specimens of OSCC and 80 normal oral mucosa were used to detect the expressions of FEZ1 and HIF-1αby immunohistochemistry. Thirty specimens of fresh OSCC tissues, 30 samples of the paracancerous tissues and 30 normal mucosa tissues were also included in the study. The relationship between the expressions of FEZ1 and HIF-1α, the clinicopathological features and the prognosis of the patients were analyzed. Western blot assay was used to detect the expres?sions of FEZ1 and HIF-1αin 30 fresh OSCC tissues, 30 samples of the paracancerous tissues and 30 normal mucosa tissues. Results In OSCC tissues, the positive rate of FEZ1 protein (30.14%) was significantly lower than that in normal oral muco?sa (81.25%), and the positive rate of HIF-1αprotein (71.23%) was significantly higher than that in normal mucosa (12.50%,χ2=54.076 and 71.317, P<0.01). There was a correlation between the expression of FEZ1 and clinical stage, tumor size and differentiation. The expression of HIF-1αwas correlated with gender, lymph node metastasis, tumor size and differentiation. There was no significant difference in 5-year survival rate between positive and negative FEZ1 expression groups. The 5-year survival rate was significantly lower in HIF-1α positive expression group than that of HIF-1α negative expression group (P<0.05). The expression level of FEZ1 was decreased by the sequences in normal oral mucosa, paracancerous tissue and OSCC (P<0.01), but the expression level of HIF-1αwas increased in turn (P<0.01). Conclusion FEZ1 and HIF-1αmay be involved in the occurrence and progress of OSCC. The expressions of FEZ1 and HIF-1αcan be used as a reference for the biological behavior of OSCC.

AIM: To observe the inhibitory effect of interferon-α ( IFN-α) on the growth invasiveness and metastasis of human gastric carcinoma cell line BGC-823, and mechanism of its action. METHODS: We detected the influence of IFN-α on the proliferative ability of BGC-823 in cell culture system, the cell vitality with the MTT colorimetric assay, and the cell cycle with flow cytometer (FCM). The regulatory functions of IFN-α to the expression of E-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinase-2 ( MMP-2) in tumor cells were estimated by immunohistochemical analysis ( S-P). The ultrastructural changes of the junction among the tumor cells were observed under electron microscope. RESULTS : IFN-α can significantly inhibit the growth of human gastric carcinoma cell line BGC-823 in a dose-dependent manner. When the concentration of IFN-α was ≥106 U/L, the cell proliferation can be effectively suppressed,the suppression rate was ≥ 12. 2%, and the blockage appeared at the phase of G1-S of the cell cycle. Under the induction of IFN-α, the expression level of the cell E-cadherin increased while the MMP-2 decreased. The changes on ultrastructure of the cells showed the increased adhesive junctions and the relative compact structure. CONCLUSION: IFN-α can suppress the growth of human gastric carcinoma cell line BGC-823 through its influence on cell cycle. IFN-α can regulate the expression of E-cadherin and MMP-2, make the cell junction closely, so that it has the potential on restricting the invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma cells.

Objective To investigate the type distribution of urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis(Ct)among STD clinic outpatients in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and to estimate the prevalence of Ct infection among the patients during posttreatment follow?up. Methods Urethral and cervical swabs were collected from male and female outpatients with confirmed urogenital Ct infection, respectively, in Institute of Dermatology of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The patients with positive results in preliminary screening tests were followed up after treatment, and specimens were collected at follow?up visits. General and clinical information was also obtained from these patients. DNA was extracted from these samples by using the QIAxtractor instrument. Nested PCR was performed to amplify the major outer membrane protein A(ompA)gene for ompA typing, and to amplify CT046(hctB), CT058, CT144, CT172 and CT682 (pbpB) genes for high?resolution multilocus sequence typing (hr?MLST). Then, PCR products were sequenced, and ompA and MLST types of Ct were determined by sequence alignment and MLST analysis, respectively. The obtained MLST sequence types (STs) were compared with those from an Italian population by using the BioNumerics7 software, and a minimum spanning tree(MST)was generated. Results Totally, 44 and 6 Ct?positive specimens were collected at first visits and follow?up visits respectively. Among the 50 specimens, 42 underwent successful ompA typing and hr?MLST, and 7 ompA genotypes and 15 hr?MLST STs were identified, including 3 first reported STs. The distribution of STs of Ct isolates from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region was significantly different from that from the Italian population. Among the 6 followed patients with posttreatment Ct infection, 3 were confirmed to be reinfected with Ct, and the other 3 failed to be diagnosed because of unsuccessful genotyping. Conclusion The genotypes of Ct strains isolated from STD clinic outpatients in Guangxi Autonomous Region were characteristic, and Ct reinfection occurred in some patients during follow?up.
