Abstract:Objective: To analyze the effects of Xihuang capsules combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate on serum microRNA (miR)-146a, miR-155 levels, and prognosis in patients with endometrial cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: A total of 132 patients with endometrial cancer undergoing chemotherapy from January 2019 to May 2022 were selected and randomly divided into two groups (n=66 per group). The control group received medroxyprogesterone acetate, while the observation group received Xihuang capsules combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate for 3 months. The efficacy and survival rates of the two groups were compared. Serum levels of tumor markers [human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and cytokeratin-19 fragment (CYFRA21-1)] were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay before and after 3 months of treatment. Immune indicators (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+/CD8+) were detected using DxFLEX flow cytometry. The expression levels of oncogenes (c-myc, c-erbB2) and tumor suppressor genes (P16, P53) were determined using PCR. The levels of miR-146a and miR-155 were measured using fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (65.15% vs 42.42%, χ2=6.858, P=0.009). After treatment, the observation group showed lower levels of HE4, CA125, CEA, and CYFRA21-1 compared to the control group (P<0.05). The observation group also exhibited higher levels of CD4+, CD3+, CD4+/CD8+, and miR-146a, and lower levels of CD8+ and miR-155 compared to the control group (P<0.05). The expression of c-myc and c-erbB2 was lower, while the expression of P16 and P53 was higher in the observation group compared to the control group (P<0.05). The 1-year and 2-year survival rates in the observation group were 98.41% and 87.30%, respectively, significantly higher than those in the control group (83.61% and 63.93%, respectively) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Xihuang capsules combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate effectively reduce tumor markers, enhance immune function, regulate oncogene expression, and improve survival prognosis in patients with endometrial cancer undergoing chemotherapy, demonstrating significant clinical application value.
