Prognostic value of C-reactive protein/albumin ratio in predicting overall survival of Chinese cervical cancer patients overall survival: comparison among various inflammation based factors.

Many studies have shown the prognostic value of inflammation based factors in different cancers. This work aimed to explore the prognostic value of pretreatment C-reactive protein/albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio in patients with cervical cancer, and compared to other inflammatory prognostic factors, such as neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR), Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), prognostic index (PI), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), clinicopathological parameter and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag). This study was a retrospective analysis of the data related to 229 patients with newly diagnosed cervical cancer.

Immunization with alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C reduces Fusobacterium nucleatum load in the intestinal tract.

Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is an important tumour-associated bacterium in colorectal cancer (CRC). The antioxidant protein alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC) can induce strong antibacterial immune response during various pathogen infections. Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Fn-AhpC as a candidate vaccine.

Evaluation of antibody level against Fusobacterium nucleatum in the serological diagnosis of colorectal cancer.

Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum, Fn) is associated with the colorectal cancer (CRC). Fn-infection could induce significant levels of serum Fn-specific antibodies in human and mice.

Antibodies Against Epstein-Barr Virus Glycoprotein gp42 for the Diagnosis of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

Background: Assessment of immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody responses to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antigen is important for the early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). EBV glycoprotein gp42 has been shown to play an essential role in membrane fusion with B cells. The aim of the present study was to assess whether the antibodies to EBV glycoprotein gp42 in serum could be a novel marker for diagnosis of NPC.

Epstein-Barr virus glycoprotein gH/gL antibodies complement IgA-viral capsid antigen for diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

To determine whether measuring antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) glycoprotein gH/gL in serum could improve diagnostic accuracy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cases, gH/gL expressed in a recombinant baculovirus system was used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect antibodies in two independent cohorts. Binary logistic regression analyses were performed using results from a training cohort (n = 406) to establish diagnostic mathematical models, which were validated in a second independent cohort (n = 279). Levels of serum gH/gL antibodies were higher in NPC patients than in healthy controls (p < 0.

[The protective effect of Xuebijing injection pretreatment on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury and coagulopathy after excision of liver cancer].

Objective: To observe the protective effect of Xuebijing injection pretreatment on hepatic ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury and coagulopathy in liver cancer patients undergoing excision of hepatic cancer after occlusion of hepatic blood flow.

Methods: A prospective randomly controlled study was conducted. Sixty patients with liver cancer classified as Child-Pugh class A undergoing hepatectomy in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from October 2011 to March 2013 were enrolled.
