Journal of International Oncology 2013;(4):302-306
Objective To evaluate the clinical features of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with different sur英文摘要>=rival time and to analyze the factors associated with prognosis improvement.Methods Three hundred and fifty three patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated in our hospital from January 2000 to April 2002 were analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into three groups based on their survival time.One hundred and forty five patients were divided into A groups whose overall survival time were less than five years.Sixteen patients were included in B group whose overall survival time were greater than or equal to five years and less than ten years,and the other one hundred and ninety two patients were divided into C groups whose overall survival time were greater than or equal to ten years.The clinical features were compared and factors associated with survival were identified.Results The 5 and 10 years overall survival rates of the 353 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients underwent radiotherapy were 58.924% and 54.391% respectively.Curative effect of early nasopharyngeal carcinoma was better.Cox regression analysis identified age,N stage,combined with chemotherapy or not and complete remission rate of nasopharynx and neck lymph were independent prognostic factors.Conclusion For nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients,early detection,early treatment,rational comprehensive treatment and complete remission after treatment and complications prevention are important.

Cancer Research and Clinic 2014;26(5):339-341
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of platinum alone chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma without operation.Methods Form April 2008 to February 2010,47 initial treatment patients with esophageal carcinoma were treated by platinum alone chemotherapy (cisplatin or nedaplatin 20 mg/m2,one times per weeks) and conventional fractionated radiation therapy (200 cGy per fraction,2 times per day,5 days per week,to a total dose of 6 000-7 000 cGy).Results 1-,2-,3-,4-year overall survival rates were 63.83 % (30/47),40.43 % (19/47),38.30 % (18/47),30.77 % (4/13).4-year survival rate of 13 cases with lymph node metastasis was 0,it was lower than that of cases without lymph node metastasis (40 %,4/10),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =6.295,P =0.012).The 3-year survival rates in cisplatin or nedaplatin combined with radiotherapy group were 31.25 % (5/16) and 41.94 % (13/31),the difference was not statistically significant (x2 =0.510,P =0.475).Conclusion Low doses of platinum alone chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for the treatment of esophageal cancer are safe,but long-term efficacy needs to be confirmed in larger clinical trials.

Cancer Research and Clinic 2008;20(7):502-504
The proto-oncogene, c-kit gene, widely expresses on the mast cell, melanoeyte, haemopoietic stem cell, intestinal cell of cajal and germoeyte. Recent researches have revealed the relationship between the e-kit gene and the carcinogenesis, proliferation, infiltration and metastasis of some malignant tumor. This article aimed to make a review of its biological function, lab and clinical research advancement in the digestive tract tumor.
4.Dietary cholesterol and risk of cardiovascular diseases
Chinese Journal of Health Management 2017;11(2):183-188
Cholesterol is an essential nutrient for human body.Dietary cholesterol comes from animal sources,including eggs,pork and others.A number of epidemiological and experimental studies showed that too much intake of cholesterol or consumption of more than 1 egg per day would slightly elevate blood cholesterol level.Results of studies in different areas and populations suggested that there is a lack of sufficient evidence to support the association between cholesterol intakes or egg consumption and cardiovascular disease incidence or deaths.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features of local advanced glottic laryngeal cancer patients with beyond five years survival and to provide help for the treatment of advanced glottic laryngeal cancer patients.Methods The data of 129 cases of patients with local advanced glottic laryngeal cancer treated in our hospital from January 1999 to August 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into two groups based on their survival time.Forty six patients with beyond five years survival were included in the first group and the other eighty three patients were in the second group.The clinical features were compared and factors associated with survival were identified.Results Compared with the group with under five years survival,the lymph node metastatic rate before treatment was lower,patients treated concurrently with operation were more,and complete remission rate after treatment were higher in the group with beyond five years survival.The differences between two groups had statistical significant.Cox regression analysis identified only operation and complete remission rate were independent prognostic factors.Conclusion For local advanced glottic laryngeal cancer,rational comprehensive treatment and complete remission after treatment and complications prevention are important.But they need to be validated by the large-scale clinical trials.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction chemotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiation (3D-CRT) combined with endostar in the treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Thirty patients with locally advanced NSCLC were enrolled and divided into observation group (15 cases) and control group (15 cases).In the observation group,the patients received induction chemotherapy and 3D-CRT combined with endostar.Chemotherapy:Vinorelbine 25mg/m2 on day 1 and 8,DDP 30mg/m2 on day 2 to 4.Endostar 7.5mg/m2 on day 1 to 14,which was used again after 7 days for 2 to 4 cycles.In the control group,the patients received induction chemotherapy and 3D-CRT at the same dosage.All patients were treated with 3D-CRT and the prescription dose was 60 ~ 68Gy per fraction.The responses were evaluated according to WHO criteria.The shortterm efficacy between the 2 groups was compared.Results The overall effective rate of the two groups were 66.7% and 60.0%,respectively (P > 0.05).The median progression-free survival time was 12 months in the observation group and 10 months in the control group.The median survival time was 20 months in the observation group and 18 months in the control group.The 1 year overall survival rate was 80.0% in the observation group and 73.3% in the control group(P > 0.05).The main toxicities in the two groups were marrow suppression,gastrointestinal symptoms,acute radiation pneumonitis and acute radiation esophagitis.There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions The combination of endostar with induction chemotherapy and 3D-CRT can improve the short-term efficacy rate of locally advanced NSCLC,the adverse events of which are tolerable,but the improvement is not significant in both groups.The result pending further randomized multi-center phase Ⅲ clinical study.
