Objective To measure the serum levels of endostatin in lung cancer patients in different stages and with histological types, and explore the clinical value of serum level in early diagnosis of lung cancer.Methods ELISA was used to detect the level of serum endostatin in 81 patients with lung cancer (lung cancer group), 23 patients with benign lung disease (benign lung disease group), 20 healthy controls (healthy control group). The serum levels of endostatin were analyzed in lung cancer patients in different stages and with histological types.Results The serum level of endostatin in lung cancer group was (2.53±8.75) ng/mL, significantly higher than that in benign lung disease group (4.63±1.12) ng/mL and healthy control group (4.53±1.24) ng/mL. In lung cancer group, the serum level of endostatin of stage Ⅰsubgroup and Ⅱsubgroup was significantly higher than that of stage Ⅲ subgroup. The differences were statistically significant. There were statistical differences of serum level of endostatin among the lung cancer patients with different histological types.Conclusion Serum endostatin might be used as an indicator of early diagnosis of lung cancer.

Objective To study the effects of 5-azacytidine’s demethylation for P16 gene on hemangioma cell’s proliferation and apoptosis.Methods Bisulfite sequencing PCR was applied to detect P16 gene′s promoter methylation status in 5-azacytidine treated and untreated EOMA cell line.RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the P16 gene mRNA and protein expressions.Flow cytometry was used to detect cell proliferation, cell cycle and cell apoptosis.The differences of P16 gene′s promoter methylation status,mRNA and protein expressions,cell proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis in two groups were compared. Results The methylation rates in 1st and 13th CGs were 0%after 5-azacytidine treatment in EOMA hemangioma cell line,which were lower than in untreated cells.The mRNA and protein expressions increased after 5-azacytidine treatment,which were significantly higher than in untreated cells.The absorbance,S phase and G2/M phase and PI after 5-azacytidine treatment were lower than untreated cells,while the G0/G1 phase and apoptosis rates were higher.Conclusion The P16 gene promoter is hypermethylated in hemangioma cells with silent gene expressions.5-azacytidine could reverse P16 gene′s promoter methylation and silent gene expressions,which inhibit hemangioma cell’s proliferation and promote apoptosis.

Objective To study the effects of Lentinan on bleomycin A5’s inhibition effects in hemangioma-derived endothelial cell. Methods Hemangioma-derived endothelial cell line EOMA were divided into LTN group (only lentinan treatment), BLE group (only bleomycin A 5 treatment), L+B group (Lentinan and bleomycin A5 treatment) and CON group (no lentinan and bleomycin A5 treatment). Cell proliferation, cell cycle, PI and apoptosis were detected and compared among four groups. Results The differences of absorbance in LBE group was significantly higher than that in L+B group after treatment for d 1-d 7 (P<0.05), but both of them were significantly lower than in CON group and LTN group (P<0.05). The G 0/G 1 stage and apoptosis rate in L+B group was significantly higher than in BLE group(P<0.05), while it was significantly lower in S stage, G 2/M stage and PI(P<0.05). Conclusion Lentinan could significantly promote bleomycin A5’s inhibition effects on hemangioma-derived endothelial cell.

Objective To investigate the relationship between RKIP expression and the efficiency of radiotherapy in NPC patients and evaluate the possibility of using RKIP as a predictor of radiosensitivity.Methods A total of 180 patients with NPC in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center without evidence of distant metastasis at initial diagnosis were enrolled in this study,who had received intensity-modulated radiotherapy alone.Patients were classified into 2 groups according to criteria below:patients with biopsy proven recurrent diseases occurring at nasopharynx and/or neck within 5 years after radiotherapy were classified as the radioresistant group.The pathological type at relapse was the same as the previous one before treatment.Patients with a minimum follow-up of 5 years after radiotherapy without evidence of recurrence at the original site of the tumor were classified as the radiosensitive group.Patients in the 2 groups were matched according to the factors related with radiosensitivity.RKIP was examined by immunohistochemical staining before radiotherapy.The relationship between RKIP expression and the effect of radiotherapy were analyzed.Results The positive rate of the RKIP expression in the radiosensitive group versus the radioresistant group was 80.0% versus 26.7%.The positive rate (x2 =12.498,P <0.01) and the intensity of the RKIP expression (x2 =51.429,P < 0.01) were significantly different between 2 groups with a negative correlation with radio-resistance to NPC (r =-0.344,-0.535,respectively,P < 0.01).Based on the RKIP expression,the radiosensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,false positive and false negative were predicted as follows:80.0%,73.3%,77.2%,75.0%,78.6%,26.7%,and 20.0%,respectively.Conclusions RKIP protein shows negative correlation with radioresistance to NPC and could serve as a biomarker in preliminarily screening the intrinsic radiosensitivity of NPC.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of induction chemotherapy with nedaplatin and docetaxel plus concurrent intensity?modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT) with nedaplatin or cisplatin in the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods A total of 223 patients with pathologically diagnosed locally advanced NPC in five treatment centers from 2011 to 2012 were randomly divided into two groups. In the test group, one hundred and thirteen patients received two cycles of induction chemotherapy with docetaxel (65 mg/ m2 on day 1) and nedaplatin (80 mg/ m2 on day 1) plus concurrent IMRT with nedaplatin (40 mg/ m2 on day 1). In the control group, 110 patients received two cycles of induction chemotherapy with the same regimens plus concurrent IMRT with cisplatin (40 mg/ m2 on day 1). The survival rates were calculated with the Kaplan?Meier method and the differences in the survival rates between the two groups were analyzed using the log?rank test. Comparison of the incidence rates of adverse reactions between the two groups was made by the chi?square test. Results The follow?up rate was 99?? 1%.The response rates at 3 months after treatment in the two groups were both 100%. The 2?year local recurrence?free, regional recurrence?free, distant metastasis?free, and overall survival rates were 94?? 0%, 94?? 2%, 88?? 2%, and 90?? 3%, respectively, in the test group, versus 93?? 4%, 94?? 1%, 86?? 7%, and 87?? 3% in the control group ( P= 0?? 757、 0?? 478、 0?? 509、 0?? 413). The incidence rates and severity of leucopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia were significantly higher in the test group than in the control group ( P= 0?? 027 , 0?? 028 , 0?? 035 ) . The incidence rates and severity of hemoglobin reduction and nausea /vomiting were significantly lower in the test group than in the control group (P= 0?? 000,0?? 023). There were no significant differences in the incidence rates of mucositis and xerostomia between the two groups ( P=0?? 483,0?? 781). Conclusions The short?term efficacy of induction chemotherapy with nedaplatin and docetaxel plus concurrent IMRT with nedaplatin is similar to that with cisplatin in the treatment of locally advanced NPC. The mild gastrointestinal reactions can be tolerated by patients. However, the severe myelosuppression should be closely monitored during the treatment.
