Objective To investigate the correlation between degree of deeper infiltration of NPC on CT scan,prognosis and expression of P53 protein,in order to further recognize bilogical features of NPC.Methods Collect 70 NPC biopsy specimens,which had performed CT scan before radiotherapy and had detailed clinical records.The expression of P53 protein was examined by means of S-P immunohistochemical technique.The correlation between expression of P53 protein and peripheral deeper infiltration and prognosis was analysed in detailed.Results The results of these cases showed that the positive rate of over expression P53 were 68.57%,which had no relation with the histological types and pathological grades.The positive rate of P53 in Ⅱ、Ⅲ types had a higher positive rate than that of the Ⅰ type of NPC.Expression of P53 protein had no relation with neck lymph node metastasis,but had significant correlation with the size of metastatic lymph node,which is the positive rate of P53 in diameter of metastatic lymph node <4 cm was higher than that of diameter ≥4 cm.Expression of P53 had no relation with local recurrence and distant metastasis after radiotherapy.Conclusion With the tumor infiltrating the deeper layer of nasopharynx,the positive rate of P53 expression is more and more high,and degree of malignant is increasing.The three types on CT scan represents the biological features of NPC.

OBJECTIVE:To study the improvement ef fects of sanggenone C on lipid accumulation in human liver cancer HepG2 cells induced by free fatty acid (FFA). METHODS :HepG2 cells were divided into control group ,model group , fenofibrate group (10 μmol/L),sangerone C low ,medium and high concentration groups (2,4,8 μmol/L). Except for control group,other groups were treated with 1 mmol/L FFA to induce lipid accumulation model ,and administration groups were cultured with relevant medium containing drugs. The lipid accumulation was observed by oil red O staining ,and lipid level and triglyceride (TG) content were also determined. Real-time PCR and Western blot assay were adopted to detect the mRNA and protein expression of PPARα,CPT-1,SREBP-1c,FAS,SIRT1 and PGC- 1α in HepG2 cells. RESULTS :Compared with control group , the nucleus was atrophied significantly and the volume became smaller ,and the number of lipid droplets was significantly increased;the level of lipid ,TG content ,mRNA and protein expression of SREBP- 1c and FAS were significantly increased (P< 0.05 or P<0.01),mRNA and protein expression of PPARα,CPT-1,SIRT1 and PGC- 1α were decreased significantly(P<0.01). Compared with model group ,no obvious nucleus atrophy and normal volume were observed in sangerone C groups ,and the number of lipid droplets was significantly reduced ;the levels of lipid ,TG content ,mRNA and protein expression of PPARα pathway related genes (except for SREBP- 1c protein in saggenone C low concentration group )were significantly reversed (P< 0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :Sangenone C can significantly improve the lipid accumulation of HepG 2 cells,and its mechanism may associated with regulating PPAR α signaling pathway,improving cell lipid oxidation ability and inhibiting lipid synthesis.
