Objectives: To study the effect of high mobility group chromosomal protein N2 on inhibiting cervical cancer in nude mice.
Methods: Model of cervical cancer were established in nude mice. They were randomly divided into 4 groups including negative control group, HMGN2 group, cisplatin group and HMGN2 with cisplatin group. After 4 injections, the tumor size were calculated and tumor tissues were stained by haematoxylin eosin (HE) staining.
Results: Transplated tumor models were established successfully. The tumor sizes of negative control group [(0.38±0.12) cm³] were significantly lower than those of HMGN2 group [(0.14±0.07)cm³, cisplatin group [(0.11±0.06) cm³] and HMGN2 combined with cisplatin group[(0.11±0.07) cm³]. No differences were detected in HMGN2 group, cisplatin group and HMGN2 with cisplatin group in tumor sizes. The tumor inhibition rates of HMGN2 group, cisplatin group and HMGN2 with cisplatin group were 0.62±0.18, 0.71±0.17 and 0.70±0.18, respectively. The necrosis area were smaller in negative control group than in other three groups by HE staining.
Conclusions: HMGN2 has a significant inhibitory effect on transplanted cervical cancer in nude mice.

This study aimed to find a safe and effective cumulative cisplatin dose (CCD) for concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) beneficiaries among elderly nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. A total of 765 elderly (≥ 60 years old) NPC patients treated with cisplatin-based CCRT and IMRT-alone from 2007 to 2018 were included in this study. RPA-generated risk stratification was used to identify CCRT beneficiaries.

Purpose: Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC). Switch maintenance therapy after first-line (1L) treatment may delay disease progression. This study evaluated pemetrexed as switch maintenance therapy versus observation in aUC patients without disease progression after initial chemotherapy.

Purpose: To investigate whether tadalafil (TAD) and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) can prevent cisplatin (CIS)-induced testicular toxicity.
Methods: Forty Wistar-Albino rats were divided into five groups: Control group, CIS group, TAD group, NAC group and TAD + NAC group. All groups were compared regarding body and testicular weights, testicular volumes, blood testosterone levels, testicular tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, histopathological features, and testicular Cosentino and Johnsen scores.

Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetics and adverse effects of cisplatin administered via intravenous infusion for systemic chemotherapy (SC) versus injection into the perfusate during hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) or hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
Methods: Total 60 patients who received SC, HITHOC, or HIPEC in the Department of Oncology, Tangdu Hospital, were enrolled into this study. After administering same dose of cisplatin (40 mg) via either intravenous infusion (SC group) or injection into the perfusate during the HITHOC or HIPEC procedure, concentration of cisplatin in the plasma as well as in the hyperthermic perfusate at various time points was quantified by HPLC analysis.
