Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol on autophagic flux of nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cells, and to explore the underlying mechanism. Methods Nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cells were divided into control group and resveratrol group. Cells in control group were normally cultured at 37℃and received no further treatment. Resveratrol group was added 40 μmol/L resveratrol 2 h before cells were culture at 37 ℃. Western blot analysis was performed to detect protein expressions of LC3B, p62, Beclin-1, phospho-mTOR (p-mTOR) and phospho-S6 (p-S6). The autophagic flux was detected under the confocal laser scanning microscopy through different color spots, after cells were transfected with adenovirus encoding GFP-mRFP-LC3. Results (1) The protein expression of LC3B was significantly increased and the protein expression of p62 was significantly decreased in resveratrol group compared with those of control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Beclin-1 expression between two groups. (2) Compared to control group, expressions of p-mTOR and p-S6 were significantly decreased in resveratrol group (P<0.05). (3) Compared to control group, the red mRFP puncta were significantly increased, and the yellow GFP puncta were significantly decreased in resveratrol group (P<0.05). Conclusion Resveratrol promotes the autophagic flux of nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cells, and the effects are possibly dependent on the activation of mTOR pathway-related proteins.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transurethral resection of Prostate(TURP)combined with endocrine therapy in patients with advanced prostate cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 87 cases of late-stage prostate cancer with dysuria admitted between January 2014 and December 2017.We divided them into 2 groups.TURP group(n = 48)received transurethral resection of prostate,followed by regular endocrine therapy.The control group(n = 39)was only given regular endocrine therapy.Comparative analysis of indicators such as prostate-specific antigen before and after treatment,maximum urinary flow rate,residual urine volume,International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS),and 5-year survival rate was performed between the two groups.Results Three months after TURP surgery,the symptoms of urinary difficulty significantly improved,and various indicators showed significant improvement compared to before the surgery.PSA levels also notably decreased compared to before the surgery.After 3 months of treatment,the TURP group showed significant improvements in IPSS,Qmax,RV,and PSA indicators compared to the control group(P<0.05).Both groups of patients experienced a gradual decrease in PSA levels after receiving standardized treatment.In the first 12 months of treatment,the PSA levels in the TURP group decreased more significantly compared to the control group,but after 12 months of treatment,the comparison difference was not statistically significant in the PSA levels between the two groups(P = 0.056).A 5-year follow-up comparison of the two groups of patients revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in survival(P = 0.734).Conclusion Transurethral resection of Prostate(TURP)combined with regular endocrine therapy can effectively improve the dysuria in prostate cancer patients,improve the quality of life of patients,and will not affect the five-year survival rate.TURP is a safe and effective treatment for advanced prostate cancer.
