Epstein-Barr virus infection and plasma transforming growth factor-beta1 levels in head and neck cancers.

Abstract:

CONCLUSIONS:In addition to the correlation of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 levels to the radiation toxicity, both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and postoperative status play roles in the change in plasma TGF-beta1 levels in patients with head and neck cancers. OBJECTIVES:To assess the parameters involved in the change in plasma TGF-beta1 level during concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). PATIENTS AND METHODS:Blood samples (n=307) before, during, and after treatment were obtained from 39 patients with head and neck cancers treated with definitive or adjuvant CCRT. In situ hybridization (ISH) was used to identify EBV-encoded RNA (EBER) in tissues from the primary tumor or metastatic lymph nodes. Plasma TGF-beta1 level, white blood cell (WBC), and platelet count were assayed immediately before the first fraction of radiotherapy (RT), once a week during RT, and at the end of the RT course. The grades of mucositis and dermatitis were recorded weekly during CCRT. RESULTS:Pretreatment TGF-beta1 level and radiation toxicity were found to be significantly correlated with the increase of the plasma TGF-beta1 level during CCRT (p<0.05), but correlation of platelet count was only found in patients whose tumors were EBV-positive (p=0.0042), and WBC count in those treated with postoperative adjuvant CCRT (p=0.004).

  • Effects of viral and bacterial infection on nasal and sinus mucosa.

    abstract::There is still controversy over the role of viruses and bacteria in rhinologic infections, especially in sinusitis. Until recently it was not fully known whether the sinuses do in fact take part in the infectious process of a common cold (viral rhinitis). CT scans show that in the vast majority of otherwise healthy vo...
