摘要:
目的 探究微小核糖核酸-3934(miR-3934)联合MRI评估ⅡB~Ⅲ期宫颈癌同步放化疗获益的价值。 方法 选取2019年8月~2021年9月在华北理工大学附属医院确诊的142例ⅡB~Ⅲ期宫颈癌患者作为研究对象,给予同步放化疗,并根据治疗获益情况将其分为获益组(n = 67)和非获益组(n = 75)。通过实时荧光定量PCR法检测miR-3934水平;采用ROC曲线评价miR-3934判断ⅡB~Ⅲ期宫颈癌同步放化疗获益的价值;采用Logistic回归分析ⅡB~Ⅲ期宫颈癌同步放化疗获益的风险因素,并构建风险因素的列线图回归模型;采用一致性指数、校准曲线和决策曲线分析法评价模型价值。 结果 获益组同步放化疗前(t0)、第2天(t1)和第8天(t2)的miR-3934水平均低于非获益组(P < 0.05);两组的miR-3934水平随时间进展均呈降低趋势,获益组和非获益组t2时点的miR-3934水平均低于t0(P < 0.05)。获益组的回流速率常数值、容积转运常数(Ktrans)值和血管外细胞外间隙容积比值均低于非获益组(P < 0.05),表观弥散系数(ADC)值高于非获益组(P < 0.05)。t2时点的miR-3934判断ⅡB~Ⅲ期宫颈癌同步放化疗获益的ROC曲线下面积高于t0和t1(P < 0.05)。国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)Ⅲ期、淋巴结转移、分化程度低、t2时点的miR-3934> 2.66和Ktrans值>0.59是ⅡB~Ⅲ期宫颈癌同步放化疗的独立危险因素(P < 0.05),ADC值>0.52是ⅡB~Ⅲ期宫颈癌同步放化疗的独立保护因素(P < 0.05)。模型A(由FIGO分期、淋巴结转移、分化程度、Ktrans值和ADC值组成)的一致性指数为0.969,低于模型B(由FIGO分期、淋巴结转移、分化程度、t2时点的miR-3934、Ktrans值和ADC值组成,0.986)。模型A的均方误差和平均绝对误差均低于模型B。当阈值概率在0.88~0.92时,模型A的临床应用价值大于模型B;当阈值概率在0~0.88或0.92~1.00时,模型B的临床应用价值大于模型A。 结论 由FIGO分期、淋巴结转移、分化程度、t2时点的miR-3934、Ktrans值和ADC值组成的模型B评估ⅡB~Ⅲ期宫颈癌同步放化疗获益的价值较高,可辅助医生决策。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the value of microRNA-3934 (miR-3934) combined with MRI to assess the benefit of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in stage IIB~III cervical cancer. Methods A total of 142 patients with stage IIB~III cervical cancer diagnosed at the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Technology from August 2019 to September 2021 were selected as the study subjects, given concurrent chemoradiotherapy and divided into the benefit group (n = 67) and non-beneficiary group (n = 75) according to the treatment benefit. The miR-3934 level was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of miR-3934 in determining the benefit of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for stage IIB~III cervical cancer. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for the benefits of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in stage IIB~III cervical cancer, and nomogram regression model of risk factors was constructed. The consistency index, calibration curve and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the value of the model. Results The miR-3934 levels in the beneficiary group were lower than in the non-beneficiary group before (t0), on day 2th (t1) and on day 8th (t2) of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (2.71±0.30 vs 3.05±0.40, 2.64±0.28 vs 2.97±0.35, 2.44± 0.24 vs 2.91±0.36, P < 0.05). The miR-3934 levels in both groups tended to decrease with time progression, and miR-3934 levels at time point t2 were lower than t0 in both the benefit and non-benefit groups (P < 0.05). The values of reflux rate constant, volume transfer constant (Ktrans) and extravascular extracellular gap volume ratio in the beneficiary group were lower than those in the non-beneficiary group [(1.17±0.11)/min vs (1.22±0.11)/min, (0.50±0.15)/min vs (0.67±0.12)/min, (0.37±0.09)% vs (0.47±0.12)%, P < 0.05], and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value was higher than that in the non-beneficiary group [(0.55±0.06)×10-3 mm2/s vs (0.48±0.07)×10-3 mm2/s, P < 0.05]. The miR-3934 at time point t2 determined the benefit of synchronous radiotherapy for stage IIB~III cervical cancer under the ROC curve area was higher than t0 and t1 (P < 0.05). International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III, lymph node metastasis, low differentiation, miR-3934>2.66 at t2 and Ktrans>0.59 were independent risk factors for concurrent chemoradiotherapy of stage IIB~III cervical cancer(P < 0.05). ADC>0.52 was an independent protective factor for concurrent chemoradiotherapy of stage IIB~III cervical cancer (P < 0.05). The C-index of model A (consisting of FIGO staging, lymph node metastasis, differentiation, Ktrans and ADC) was 0.969, which was lower than that of model B (consisting of FIGO staging, lymph node metastasis, differentiation, miR-3934 at t2, Ktrans and ADC, 0.986). The mean square error and mean absoluteerror of model A were 0.00046 and 0.02, respectively, which were lower than those of model B (0.00098 and 0.03). When the threshold probability was 0.88~0.92, the clinical application value of model A was greater than that of model B. When the threshold probability was 0~0.88 or 0.92~1.00, the clinical application value of model B was greater than that of model A. Conclusion Model B consisting of FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis, differentiation, miR-3934 at t2, Ktrans and ADC has high value in assessing the benefits of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for stage IIB~III cervical cancer, which can assist physicians in decision making. -
