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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of jin’s three-needle scalp electroacupuncture on Cyt-c and Caspase-3 expressions in the cerebral cortex in Intrauterine distress-induced HIBD rats and reveal the mechanism of its protective action on the brain. MethodThe abdomen was incised in a female SD rat at 21 days of pregnancy. Bilateral uterine horn blood vessels were tightly clamped with a hemostat for five minutes. An infant rat was then taken out by a cesarean section. A rat model of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage was confirmed by the use of a behavior test and braintissue sections. The rats were randomized into model and acupuncture groups. The model group was not needled. Acupuncture groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 began to be needled at 3, 5, 7 and 14 days after birth, respectively. Acupuncture treatment was given for seven consecutive days. The normal control group was naturally delivered, not used to make a model and not needled. All groups of rats were decapitated to take the brain tissue at 21 daysafter birth. Cyt-c and Caspase-3 expressions in the cerebral cortex were detected.ResultCyt-c optical density value decreased somewhat in the four acupuncture groups; there was a statistically significant difference between acupuncture group 1 or 2 and the modelgroup (P<0.05). Caspase-3 expression was significantly down-regulated in acupuncture group 1; there was a statistically significant difference compared with the model group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe protective effect of acupuncture beginning at 3 days after birthon the brain is related to the down-regulation of Cyt-c and Caspase-3 expressions in intrauterine distress-induced HIBD rats.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of two concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimens between paclitaxel plus fluorouracil( TF) and cisplatin plus fluorouracil ( PF) in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal squamous carcinoma. Methods 103 patients with locally advanced esophagus carcinoma were treated in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from December 2014 to February 2016, and randomly assigned to either study group ( TF ) or control group ( PF ) according to random number table, of which 52 patients in the TF group while 51 patients in the PF group. The primary outcome was overall survival(OS), and secondary outcomes include progression-free survival(PFS), local progression-free survival( LPFS) and side effects. Results The 1-year OS for TF group was 76. 9% versus 74. 5% for PF group( P>0. 05 ) , and the 2-year OS for TF group was 59. 6% versus 56. 9% for PF group ( P >0. 05). The 1-year LPFS for TF group and PF group were 71. 2% and 66. 7% respectively(P>0. 05), and the 2-year LPFS for TF group and PF group were 61. 5% and 58. 8% respectively(P>0. 05). The 1-year PFS for TF group was 63. 5% versus 62. 7% for PF group ( P>0. 05 ) , and the 2-year PFS for TF group was 51. 9% versus 39. 2% for PF group ( P>0. 05 ) . The incidence rate of serious ( grade 3- 4 ) leukopenia for TF group was 36. 5% versus 17. 6% for PF group(χ2 =4. 642, P<0. 05). The incidence rate of serious (grade 3-4) acute radiation pneumonitis was 15. 4% in the TF group, higher than that in the PF group with the rate of 3. 9%(χ2 =3. 859, P<0. 05), while the incidence rate of severe nausea and vomiting for PF group was 17. 6% versus 1. 9% for TF group(χ2 =7. 262, P <0. 05). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant. Conclusions Patients who were treated with two concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimens showed no difference in OS, PFS and LPFS. The regimen on the basis of Paclitaxel has higher risk of adverse effects incidence rates of hematological toxicity and acute radiation pneumonitis, while digestive system toxicity must be concerned when concurrent chemoradiotherapy is performed on the basis of cisplatin plus fluorouracil.

Binding sites of five monoclonal antibodies were obtained by reinforceable method of overlapping recombinant prion protein and synthetic peptide. Overlapping peptides of PrP core were expressed in Escherichia coli by insertion of serial PCR amplicons of ovine PrP gene fragments into pET32a. The expressed fusion peptides were then tested for the binding activity to PrP monoclonal antibodies in Western blotting. The binding sites of 5 monoclonal antibodies of ovine PrP were located respectively as follows: 2H3 in 199 aa-213 aa, 4C6, 5F11 and 7F11 in 139 aa-168 aa and 7F1 in 214 aa-227 aa. There oligo peptides were synthesized and used in ELISA test for more accurate localization of the binding sites. The binding sites of 4C6, 5F11 and 7F11 were further confirmed to be in 149 aa-158 aa. This conclusion may contribute to the research for pathogenesis and diagnostic method of scrapie and bovine transmissible spongiform encephalopathy.
