Background and purpose:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is sensitive with radiotherapy, and it is of great signiifcance to study the resistance mechanism. This study aimed to analyze the expression of TNFAIP3 in the radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the difference between radiosensitivity and radioresistance, the relationship with the occurrence and development of radioresistance.Methods:Detection of TNFAIP3 mRNA expression was carried out by TNFAIP3 multi-point labeled DIG probein situ hybridization.Results:In radiosensitivity and radioresistance of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the moderately and strongly positive TNFAIP3 mRNA expression rates were 15% and 45%, (χ2=5.274,P=0.021 6), there were statistical significance. In the radioresistat nasopharyngeal carcinoma, TNFAIP3 mRNA moderately and strongly positive expression was positively correlated with TNM stage. In the degree ofⅢ-Ⅳ tumor, it had moderately and strongly positive expression rate of 48.28%.In the degree ofⅠ-Ⅱtumor, it had moderately and strongly positive expression rate of 36.36% (χ2=33.240,P<0.005); The expression rates in distant metastasis and no distant metastasis were 81.81% and 31.03% (χ2=6.385,P=0.011 5), the difference had statistical signiifcance.Conclusion:TNFAIP3 has antitumor effect, and it is correlated with the occurrence and development of radioresistant in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the Ureaplasma urealyticum infection in patients with urogenital infections and the distribution of its serotypes and genotypes.METHODS The clinical samples were firstly screened with B-Merieux mycoplasma ID2 culture and identification kit,then the positive cultural samples were subtyped by PCR method.RESULTS The positive rate of U.urealyticum with cultural kit was 37.43%(670/1790).The 392 positive cultural samples were subtyped with PCR,the positive rate of U.parvum was 71.94% and the positive rate of U.urealyticum was 29.85%.The serotypes of 264 U.parvum positive samples were identified with PCR,there were 20 samples with serovar 1(7.58%),139 samples with serovar 3 or 14(52.65%),and 51 samples with serovar 6(19.32%).Ninety nine positive samples with U.urealyticum were genotyped,the results showed that the rate of genotype 3(serovar 7 or 11) was lower than genotypes 1 and 2.CONCLUSIONS PCR identification and subtyping of Ureaplasma in patients with urogenital infections showed that the major epidemic pathogen of Ureaplasma in east of Guangdong Province is U.urealyticum serovar 3 and serovar 6,and the distribution of different serotypes or genotypes of Ureaplasma in this area is specific.
