Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) has been shown to be associated with several tumors. However, its association with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is not well characterized. We performed a literature review and meta-analysis to assess the prognostic relevance of elevated CRP levels in patients with NPC.

Methods: One hundred patients with CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP group), 40 patients with CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP group), and 100 patients without CRS were enrolled.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how a specific recombinant lentiviral vector carrying miR-15a/16-1 affects the growth and death of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells, exploring the mechanisms involved in these changes.
- Researchers organized the experiment into four groups: a control, a transfected group, a radiotherapy group, and a combined transfected-radiotherapy group, using methods like colony formation assays and flow cytometry to analyze cell behavior.
- Results showed that the transfected-radiotherapy group had the highest cell death rate and altered proliferation rates compared to other groups, along with significant changes in the expression levels of proteins involved in apoptosis, particularly a decrease
[Identification of differentially expressed genes in recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma and analysis of their chromosomal location].

January 2010
Objective: To identify differentially expressed genes in recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC) by DNA microarrays, and analyze chromosomal localizations and molecular function by bioinformatics.
Methods: The primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma (pNPC) tissue samples and rNPC tissue samples were selected, and Affymetrix Gene1.0 ST gene chips were used to identify differential expressed genes in rNPC, and the bioinformatics was used to analyze their chromosomal localizations as well as molecular functions.
[Change of eustachian tube surfactant of guinea pigs suffering from secretory otitis media].

April 2003
Objective: To observe the change of surface active agents of eustachian tube of guinea pigs suffering from secretory otitis media, to explore the effects of surface active agents on secretory otitis media.
Methods: To establish the animal model of guinea pigs suffering from secretory otitis media. To analyse the changes of biochemical component and activity of eustachian tube's surfactant, meanwhile; to observe surfactant change after ectogenic surfactant treatment.
