    Objective To investigate the role of senescence and autophagy in radiation-induced polyploidy breast cancer cells. Method Breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells were irradiated with a dose of 7 Gy in 6 MV X-ray mode, and the cell morphology changes were observed on the 3rd (Day 3 group), 5th (Day 5 group), 7th (Day 7 group), 11th (Day 11 group) and 19th (Day 19 group) days, respectively. The cell ploidy was detected by flow cytometry, cell senescence was detected by β-galactosidase, and the expression of senescence and autophagy related proteins was detected by Western blot. The GEPIA tool was used to analyze the difference of PLK1 expression between breast tissues and breast cancer tissues. Results After 7 Gy dose irradiation, the volume of MDA-MB-231 cells in Day 3 group, Day 5 group and Day 7 group became larger, and the proportion of polyploid cell subsets (DNA content>4 N) was significantly higher than that of the control group MDA-MB-231 cells without radiation treatment (all P<0.0001), and cell senescence occurred at the same time. Compared with the control group MDA-MB-231 cells without radiation treatment, the expression of DNA damage repair protein PARP and DNA synthesis related proteins Rb, E2F-1, E2F-2 were down-regulated in Day 3 and Day 5 groups. The ratio of phage-related protein LC3B/LC3A was significantly increased. The expression of nuclear membrane integrity-related protein Lamin B1 and DNA damage repair protein PARP were down-regulated, and the expression of DNA damage response-related protein PLK1 was up-regulated, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Compared with breast tissues,PLK1 was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues (P<0.05). Conclusions Radiation-induced senescence of breast cancer cells can be a favorable condition for the formation of polyploid cell. Senescence and autophagy may contribute to self-repair and deploid proliferation of polyploid cells.

    Objective To investigate the regulation and mechanism of interleukin-33(IL-33) on the apoptosis and cell cycle of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells HL-60 and NB4. Methods AML cell lines HL-60 and NB4 were treated with IL-33 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38 MAPK) inhibitor (SB203580) for 72 h. The cell apoptosis rate was detected by Annexin V/DAPI double staining flow cytometry and the cell cycle was detected by cell cycle detection kit. The expression levels of CDK1 protein and p38 MAPK phosphorylation were detected by Western blot. Results Compared with the control group, the apoptosis level of HL-60 and NB4 cells in IL-33 group was reduced after IL-33 treatment (P<0.05), the proportion of S phase in cell cycle increased (P<0.001); while the apoptosis level of SB+IL-33 group was higher than that of IL-33 group after combined treatment with SB203580 and IL-33 (P<0.05), and the percentage of S phase cells was lower than that of IL-33 group (P<0.05). Western blot results showed that the phosphorylation level of p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK) and the expression level of CDK1 protein were significantly increased in IL-33 group, compared with the control group (all P<0.05). The expression levels of p-p38 MAPK and CDK1 in SB+IL-33 group were significantly lower than those in IL-33 group (all P<0.05). Conclusions IL-33 can inhibit apoptosis and cell cycle of AML cell lines HL-60 and NB4 by activating p38 MAPK.

    Objective To analyze the high-risk assessment and screening results of the urban cancer early diagnosis and treatment in Quzhou city, Zhejiang province from 2014 to 2018. Methods The permanent residents with aged 40-74 and full behavioral capacity in Quzhou city, Zhejiang province, were sampled as the research object, based on the cluster sampling method. The high-risk group was identified, through preliminary screening questionnaire, and clinically screened to calculate the cancer high-risk rate, clinical screening participation rate and positive lesion detection rate of the population. Results From 2014 to 2018, the high-risk assessment was completed for a total of 50, 114 people, and 25, 375 people were assessed as being at high risk of cancer, with an overall high risk rate of 50.63%. The high risk rate of males (57.28%) was higher than that of females (45.36%). The highest risk rate was found in the 60-64 age group. The high-risk rates of various cancers from high to low were upper gastrointestinal cancer (26.24%), lung cancer (23.55%), liver cancer (17.22%), female breast cancer (14.91%) and colorectal cancer (12.67%). The clinical screening participation rates from high to low were women's breast cancer (55.19%), liver cancer (47.47%), lung cancer (46.31%), upper gastrointestinal cancer (28.26%) and colorectal cancer (18.24%). Except for colorectal cancer, the participation rate of male was lower than female for other types of cancer. The positive rates of all cancer types from high to low were female breast cancer (20.54%), lung cancer (18.04%), liver cancer (3.22%), colorectal cancer (1.73%) and upper gastrointestinal cancer (0.16%). The detection rates of male liver cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer and colorectal cancer positive lesions were higher than that of female, while the detection rate of lung cancer positive lesions was lower than that of female. Conclusions People actively participate in the urban cancer early diagnosis and treatment in Quzhou city, Zhejiang province, from 2014 to 2018. The clinical screening participation rate is high, though the clinical screening participation rate and the positive lesion detection rate of colorectal cancer and upper gastrointestinal cancer are relatively low in the invasive screening program. Proper screening strategy should be explored in the future; the propaganda and education for high-risk population should be strengthened, especially for male and people aged 60 to 64, to improve the effect of cancer screening.

     Objective To investigate the expression of netrin-G1 (NTNG1) in serum samples and tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and its clinical significance. Methods A total of 63 cases of HCC tissue samples confirmed by pathology in Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital were collected. The expression of NTNG1 protein was detected by Western blot, and the relationship between the expression level and clinicopathological features as well as prognosis was analyzed. The peripheral serum samples of 90 patients with HCC, hepatitis, healthy subjects, and other tumor patients admitted to the hospital during the same period were collected, and the serum NTNG1 levels was detected by ELISA. Results NTNG1 was highly expressed in HCC tissues (P=0.001), which was an independent risk factor affecting the overall survival of HCC patients. The serum level of NTNG1 in HCC group was significantly higher than that in other control groups (all P<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the sensitivity and specificity of HCC were 84.62% and 76.56%, respectively, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.8251. Conclusions NTNG1 is highly expressed in HCC tissues and associated with poor prognosis of HCC patients, which may be a potential prognostic evaluation marker for HCC patients.

    Objective To investigate the correlation of miR-7 and its downstream target specific protein 1(SP-1) with the radiosensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods The tumor tissues, adjacent tissues and peripheral blood of 116 patients with primary NSCLC, admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Normal University from July 2018 to September 2020, were collected. The expression of miR-7 in tissue samples and peripheral blood serum were measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. The expression of SP-1 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry. The factors affecting the radiosensitivity of NSCLC patients were analyzed by the logistic regression model. Results The expression of miR-7 in tumor tissues of NSCLC patients was lower than that in adjacent tissues (P<0.001), while the positive expression rate of SP-1 protein was higher than that in adjacent tumor tissues (P<0.001). Pearson showed that serum miR-7 was positively correlated with the expression of miR-7 in tumor tissue (r=0.492, P<0.001), and serum miR-7 expression in NSCLC patients with positive SP-1 expression was lower than that in patients with negative SP-1 expression (P=0.005). The expression levels of miR-7 in serum and tissue of patients with T3-4 stage, TNM stageⅢA-B, smoking and radiation-induced lung injury were decreased (all P<0.05), and the positive rate of SP-1 was increased in cancer tissues (all P<0.05). Compared with the radiation sensitivity group, the relative expression of miR-7 in serum and tumor tissue of the radiation resistance group was decreased (all P<0.001), and the positive expression rate of SP-1 was increased (P<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve of serum miR-7 to predict rodiotherapy resistance in NSCLC patients was 0.822 (95%CI: 0.746-0.897). Decreased serum miR-7 expression was a risk factor for radiotherapy sensitivity (P=0.009). Conclusions Serum miR-7 has a good efficacy in predicting radiotherapy resistance. miR-7 and its downstream targeted molecular SP-1 are potential radio sensitizing targets.

    Objective To investigate the predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters for the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy for stage ⅡB cervical cancer. Methods A total of 29 patients with stage ⅡB cervical cancer who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy were retrospectively analyzed on a cohort basis. Before treatment, 18F-FDG PET/CT whole body imaging examination was performed, and metabolic parameters, including maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax), average standardized uptake values (SUVavg), minimum standardized uptake values (SUVmin), peak standardized uptake values (SUVpeak), tumor metabolic volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) of the lesion, were obtained. According to the efficacy evaluation criteria, the patients were divided into the radio-chemotherapy sensitive group and the radio-chemotherapy resistant group. The relationship between 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters and the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy for stage ⅡB cervical cancer was compared. The value in predicting the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The SUVmax, SUVavg, SUVpeak and SUVmin values of the radiochemotherapy sensitive group were insignificantly different from those of the radiochemotherapy resistance group (all P>0.05), while there were statistically significant differences in TLG and MTV values between two groups (P=0.025, 0.009). The area under the ROC curve of TLG and MTV were 0.753 and 0.793, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MTV in predicting the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy were 77.8%, 81.8%, and 79.3%, respectively; TLG were 66.7%, 81.8%, and 75.3%, respectively.  Conclusions 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters have a good predictive value for the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy for stage ⅡB cervical cancer.

    Objective To analyze the follow-up data of malignant tumor cases of a cancer hospital in Guangxi from 2011 to 2020 and to determine the follow-up status, providing reference for further improving the follow-up of cancer patients. Methods The follow-up data of 15 types of malignant tumors registered in the hospital from 2011 to 2020 were collected. The follow-up information was statistically analyzed by Excel 2013, to calculate the follow-up response rate, lost follow-up rate and effective follow-up rate . Results A total of 62, 527 patients with 15 types of malignant tumors were registered from 2011 to 2020, and 61, 333 patients were followed up. The average follow-up response rate was 95.25%, the average lost follow-up rate was 28.21%, and the average effective follow-up rate was 67.04%; among them, the effective follow-up rate of breast cancer patients was the highest, with an average of 89.97%. The average effective follow-up rate of 15 types of malignant tumors increased year by year from 2011 to 2020, and the average effective follow-up rate of each cancer from 2016 to 2020 was significantly higher than that from 2011 to 2015 (85.44% vs 48.64%). From 2011 to 2020, telephone follow-up and outpatient follow-up for 15 types of malignant tumors accounted for 36.35% and 63.65%, respectively, of the total follow-up. Among them, outpatient follow-up of prostate cancer, breast cancer, uterine body cancer, ovarian cancer and cervical cancer  accounted for 78.69%, 78.61%, 68.19%, 65.57% and 62.20%, respectively. Conclusions In recent 10 years, the effective follow-up rate of malignant tumors in this hospital has been continuously increasing, but the quality of follow-up still needs to be further improved. Establishing effective clinical follow-up mode is the key to improve the quality of follow-up and reduce the lost follow-up rate.
