Objective To research the early effects and side-effects of the local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients using intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)combined with concurrent chemotherapy.Methods From January 2005 to January 2007,60 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma of stage m-IV b were received IMRT combined with concurrent chemotherapy in our center.Sixty patients were divided into paclitaxel concurrent group(32 patients)and cisplatin concurrent group(28 patients).The prescribing doses of the primary tumor were 68-72 Gy for each group.The patients of paclitaxel concurrent group patients of the cisplatin concurrent group got earlier radiodennatitis and radiation-induced mucositis but also got significantly higher rate of radiodermatitis,radiation-induced mucositis,radiation-induced leucopenia and gastrointestinal toxicity,as well as the loss of weight.No significant difference was found on liver and renal funcfons between two groups.Four patients(12.5%)of the paclitaxel concurrent group were broken-off,which was much better than the cisplatin concurrent group.There was no significant difference on the specific length of break-off time,the 2-year overall survival rate and the 2-year diseaee-free survival rate between two groups.Conclusions IMRT combined with concurrent chemotherapy of paclitaxel liposome for local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma results in less side-effects and better tolerance than IMRT combined with concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy.

Objective To assess the effects of aspirin on the proliferation and apoptosis of human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells.Methods MTT assay was used to measure the effects of aspirin on the proliferation of Ishikawa cell.Flow cytometry(FCM) was employed to examine the distribution of cell cycles and the rates of apoptosis.Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe cell morphologic changes after aspirin administration.Results Aspirin inhibited the proliferation of cultured Ishikawa cells in a time-dependent and dose dependent manner(P<0.05).Aspirin increased the distribution of G,stage and the rates of cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05).Morphologic features of apoptosis cells,including cell shrinkage,nuclear condensation and apoptotic bodies could be found obviouslyunder the transmission electron microscopy.Conclusion Aspirin inhibited the proliferation and increased the apoptosis of human endometrial adenocarcinoma Ishikawa cells.

BACKGROUND: The central position of dendritic cells (DCs) has aroused increasing attention due to strong antigen presentation capability in anti-tumor. However, how to obtain enough functional DCs and reports regarding immunomodulator with low toxicity are few. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of mycobacterium phlei F.U.36 (Utilins) on the proliferation and maturity of DCs derived from human umbilical cord blood in vitro.METHODS: The mononuclear cells were isolated from human umbilical cord blood using Ficoll-Hypaque method and cultured with Utilins, cytokine (human recombinant granulocyte/macrophage colonystimulating factor + recombinant human tumor necrosisfactor-α + recombinant human interleukin-4), or combination cytokine + Utilins, respectively. In addition, cells cultured with RPMI-1640 served as controls. Morphological features and growth of DCs were observed by an inverted microscope. Thephenotype changes of DCs, such CD1a and HLA-DR, were detected by flow cytometry at 9 days after culture. Moreover, DCs were stained by Wright-Giemsa and observed under oil lens. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Typical DCs with high expressions of CD1a and HLA-DR were obviously detected in all experimental groups except the control group. The positive rates of CD1a and HLA-DR in the Utilins group were higher than those in the control group, but lower than the cytokine group (P < 0.05). The HLA-DR positive rate of the combination group was higher than that of the cytokine group (P < 0.05). The results revealed that, Utilins can not only promote the proliferation of DCs derived from human umbilical cord blood in vitro but also cooperate with cytokines to induce the maturity of DCs.

The clinical significance of a myeloperoxidase (MPO) gene polymorphism and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in cirrhotic patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) was explored. Enrolled subjects were divided into three groups according to their disease/health conditions: the HPS group (cirrhotic patients with HPS; n=63), the non-HPS group (cirrhotic patients without HPS; n=182), and the control group (healthy subjects without liver disease; n=35). The distribution of the MPO -463 G/A genotype and its relationship with iNOS expression in a typical cell block from ascitic fluid were detected by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism analysis (PCR-RFLP). In the HPS group, the partial pressure of oxygen in blood and ascitic fluid was significantly decreased (8.95+/-1.58 kPa and 6.81+/-0.95 kPa, respectively; both P<0.01), while the partial pressure of carbon dioxide significantly increased (4.62+/-0.20 kPa and 5.92+/-0.45 kPa, respectively; P<0.01). MPO and iNOS levels were significantly increased in the HPS group as compared with the non-HPS group. These increases were even more remarkable in ascitic fluid (41.36+/-11.62 and 13.23+/-4.81 mug/L; 10.27+/- 3.20 and 4.95+/-1.12 mug/L) than in blood (16.66+/-5.24 and 4.87+/-1.73 mug/L; 5.79+/-2.31 and 2.35+/-0.84 mug/L). The distribution of the MPO genotypes GG, GA, and AA were 76.2%, 22.2% and 1.6% in the HPS group, and 57.7%, 37.9% and 4.4% in the non-HPS group (P<0.05). The expression of iNOS was significantly higher in patients with the G alleles (G/G and G/A) (61.54%, 48/78) than in patients with A alleles (G/A and A/A) (38.46%, 30/78) (P<0.01). It was suggested that the expression levels of iNOS and MPO were correlated with HPS-induced hypoxemia. The MPO-463 G/A mutation might be a protective factor that prevents the development of HPS. The MPO might be involved in the regulation of iNOS expression. In humans, MPO pathways, the iNOS/NO system, and their interaction might have an impact on the occurrence and development of HPS.
