Objective The three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) method was applied to study thiazole derivatives as potent inhibitors ofdihydroorotate dehydrogenase,which provided useful guidance for more discovery of potent inhibitors of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase.Methods Molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were applied to systematicly investigate 3D-QSAR of 38 hiazole derivatives as potent inhibitors of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase.Established models of CoMFA and CoMSIA and the predictive ability of models were validated.Three dimensional map was applied to analyzing the relationship between structure and activity of thiazole derivatives.Results The coefficients of cross validation q2 and non-cross validation r2 for CoMFA model were 0.796 and 0.978,and for CoMSIA model were 0.721 and 0.976 respectively.The prediction of activity of compound was close to the actual value of the two models.Effect of compound structure on its activity could be analyzed comprehensively and intuitively by three dimensional map.Conclusion The model reveals the relationship between the structure characteristics and the inhibitory activity,and has good predictive capability and stability to lay a good foundation for further development and research.

【Objective】 To investigate setup and respiratory movement residual error with the guidance of online four-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (4DCBCT) and the impact on margins required to internal target volume (ITV) margin during stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of lung tumor in the middle or lower lobe. 【Methods】 Twenty SBRT treatment patients with lung tumor in the middle or lower lobe were enrolled for treatment residual error retrospective analysis. Thermoplastic masks were used as immobilization devices during SBRT treatment. ITV was determined by 4DCBCT simulation. A total of 76 4DCBCT scans before the treatment were recorded to determine the setup and respiratory residual error for ITV margins. 【Results】 The setup and respiratory movement error were significantly reduced with the guidance of online 4DCBCT during radiotherapy. The setup residual errors were respectively (0.07±0.12)cm, (0.03±0.29)cm and (0.04±0.14)cm in right-left (RL), superior-inferior (SI) directions and anterior-posterior (AP) directions. The respiratory movement residual errors were respectively (-0.06±0.07)cm, (0.02±0.26)cm and (0.02±0.11)cm in RL, AP, and SI directions. Based on setup and respiratory movement residual errors, the PTV margins of NSCLC were reduced from 1.13 cm, 2.15 cm and 0.90 cm to 0.50 cm, 0.59 cm and 0.56 cm in RL, AP and SI directions, respectively, calculated with recipe by VanHerk. 【Conclusion】 With the guidance of online 4DCBCT, the setup and respiratory movement residual error cannot be ignored during SBRT of lung tumor in the middle or lower lobe. The ITV margin required after online 4DCBCT correction for the patients enrolled in the study would be approximatively 0.6 cm around to ensure an accurate dose to the target tumor and reduce the dose to normal tissues.
