Objective:By analyzing the effect of deacetylase inhibitors on macrophage polarization process of histone modification,and the influence of the process of macrophage polarization ,analysis deacetylase inhibitors whether have the effect on the activity of the macrophage polarization by altered histone modification of macrophages , in order to provide a new perspective for the treatment of autoimmune diseases .Methods:Using lipopolysaccharide ( LPS) and interferon-γ( IFN-γ) to stimulate J774.1 cells for 24 h,and interleukin-4 ( IL-4 ) to stimulate J774.1 cells for 24 h.And 2 mmol/L valproic acid ( VPA ) was added in the induction process.Collecting J774.1 cells,fluorescent quantitation PCR assay and ELISA assay was used for the detection of specific markers of gene expression in macrophage polarization , flow cytometry and immunofluorescence assay for the detection of histone modifications.Results:J774.1 cells were polarized into M1 macrophages which were stimulated by LPS and IFN-γfor 24 h;and also J774.1 cells were polarized into M2 macrophages which were stimulated by IL-4 for 24 h.The degree of acetylation of H 3K9 for M1 phenotype was increased after VPA treatment , the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6 ) , inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS ) , and chemotactic factor(CCL-2) was decreased,and the expression of CD86 was increased.The degree of acetylation of H3K9 for M1 phenotype was also increased after VPA treatment ,and also the expression of Arginase,Fizz-1,mannose receptor(CD 206) and Ym1 were increased.Conclusion:The polarization state of the macrophages and histone modification had a certain relevance .VPA could induce the transformation of M1 phenotype to M2 phenotype in the induction system of the M1 macrophages,however,the expression of specific genes in M1 phenotype was inhibited in the induction system of the M 2 macrophages.

Objective To probe into the relation of expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and EGFR in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with radiation therapy efficacy. Methods 73 of the patients with carcinoma of oesophagus from January , 2011 to May , 2014 in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University , were involved in this research , their clinical data reviewed and analyzed. Before radiotherapy , immunohistochemical SP was used to test expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and EGFR in the cancer tissues. Relationships between the expressions and the efficiency of radiotherapy were analyzed. Results The positive expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and EGFR were 70.0%, 84.9% and 80.8%, respectively. In terms of the single factor analysis related to recent curative effects, HIF-1α expression had significant correlation with recent curative effects (P=0.03). Conversely , multiplicity indicated that HIF-1α and EGFR expressions were notably associated with recent curative effects (P=0.007, 0.045, respectively). Conclusions The positive expressions of HIF-1α,VEGF and EGFR in the esophageal carcinoma may account for a largest proportion of the total. HIF-1α and EGFR expressions are associated with the short-term outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the impact of bladder filling status on the movement of uterine and on the volume of organs at risk(OAR), so as to provide theoretical basis for individualized internal target volume (ITV) and planning target volume (PTV). Methods: Simulation CT images for a total of 27 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer were acquired with empty bladder, 1.0 h after bladder filling, 1.5 h after bladder filling, respectively. The volumes of uterine corpus, cervix, OARs, CTV and PTV 1.0 h after bladder filling were delineated. The impact of bladder filling status on the displacements of cervix and corpus, volumetric changes of rectum, small intestine, and the volumes of small intestine, bladder and rectum within PTV were analyzed. The correlation between bladder filling status and uterine displacement and volume of OAR was also investigated, as well as the volume of cervix and corpus in the PTV with empty bladder and 1.5 h after bladder filling. Results: Bladder filling status is different for individual cases. The maximum movement range of cervix and uterine body with bladder filling state was 0-3.04 cm and 0-4.31 cm respectively. The anterior displacements of corpus (F=7.818, P<0.05), the volumetric changes of blander, as well the volume of bladder and small intestine in the PTV (F=46.197, 44.609, 29.546, P<0.05) were significantly different between different bladder filling status. The bladder filling status was correlated with the displacements of the anterior of corpus, volumetric changes of small intestine, and the volumes of bladder and small intestine within the PTV (r=-0.232, -0.298, 0.915, -0.336, P<0.05). The volumes of cervix and corpus out of the PTV were significantly different between the empty bladder and 1.5 h after bladder filling (t=-1.326, -1.559, P<0.05). Conclusions Bladder filling status was different for individual patients. The displacements of the anterior of the corpus were significantly affected by the bladder filling status. Increasing the anterior margin of PTV was recommended. The consistency of bladder filling status was critical for the precise cervical cancer IMRT.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application of cervix-uterine internal target volume (ITV) in volume-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for cervical cancer under different bladder filling conditions, aiming to obtain more accurate planning target volume (PTV).Methods:Sixty-two patients with cervical cancer receiving radiotherapy rather than surgery were selected and randomly divided into the study ( n=31) and control groups ( n=31). In the study group, individualized ITV, PTV and PTV margin were obtained under three bladder filling status by localization CT scan to compare the VMAT. The target area and organs at risk (OARs) within the target area were statistically compared between two groups. The target missing rate in CBCT, adverse events and short-term efficacy of radiotherapy were analyzed in two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in the volume of target area and OARs in the target area between two groups (both P>0.05). In the study group, the target missing rate and target missing volume were significantly lower compared with those in the control group (both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of acute radiation-induced adverse events between two groups ( P>0.05). The 1-, 2-year overall survival and progress-free survival did not significantly differ between two groups (all P>0.05). One patient in the study group had uterine recurrence and 2 cases in the control group. Conclusion:Application of individualized cervix-uterine ITV and PTV in definitive VMAT under different bladder filling conditions can improve the accuracy of target area contouring and improve the local control rate in cervical cancer patients.

Objective:To analyze the survival time, prognostic factors and the value of postoperative thoracic radiotherapy in resected small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients.Methods:Clinic opathological data of SCLC patients who received surgical treatment in Cancer Hospital & General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from April 2014 to September 2021 were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients were subject to follow-up. The survival time of SCLC patients was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses of prognostic factors were performed by Cox proportional hazard model.Results:A total of 64 patients with SCLC were enrolled in the study. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 43.5%. Univariate analysis showed that TNM staging ( P=0.027), postoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ( P=0.039) and adjuvant thoracic radiotherapy ( P=0.041) were the prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis showed that TNM staging ( P=0.038) and adjuvant thoracic radiotherapy ( P=0.022) were the prognostic factors in patients with SCLC. The 5-year OS rates of patients with and without adjuvant thoracic radiotherapy were 71.6% and 35.4% ( P=0.028), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the 5-year OS rates between pathological stage N 2 SCLC patients with or without adjuvant thoracic radiotherapy (75.0% vs. 0%, P=0.030). Conclusions:TNM staging and postoperative adjuvant thoracic radiotherapy are prognostic factors in patients with SCLC undergoing surgical treatment. Pathological stage N 2 SCLC patients can benefit from adjuvant thoracic radiotherapy.
