OBJECTIVE: Dynamic observation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA load before and after the treatment in patients with Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), predicting the incidence of distant metastasis and offering more personalised choice of therapies. METHOD: Fifty-four cases of patients with NPC were taken by fluorescence quantitative PCR assay of EBV DNA load before and after the treatment, all patients were followed up according to plan and carried out the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULT: EBV DNA load in plasma of patients with NPC can partly reflect the clinical characteristics of patients; EBV DNA load in some patients with distant metastasis was higher than those patients with continuous remission when they were not started treatment (P < 0.05); For those patients whose EBV DNA copies were lower than 20,000 copies/mI before the treatment, the progression-free survival and overall survival rates were higher than those high expression patients, and the difference were statistically significant (PF < 0.01 and P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The EBV DNA load in the plasma of NPC patients can partly predict the occurrence of distant metastases before treatment.

Taking Wuzhou as an example,this paper investigates the construction of the standardized Party affairs system in public hospitals and the path for enhancing Party building quality.It clarifies the connotations and relationships of Party build-ing,Party affairs,and Party affairs standardization,and elaborates on the necessity and path of Party affairs standardization.Sub-sequently,an analysis of the current situation and existing problems,such as insufficient understanding,weak implementation,limited capabilities,and poor integration,is presented.Then,improvement measures,including Party committee guidance,pre-cise training,system construction,and practical promotion of relevant work,are proposed.Finally,the paper discusses the con-struction and improvement of the standardized Party affairs system,team building,and the deep integration of Party building and hospital operations,providing a reference for improving Party building quality in public hospitals.
