Objective To study the influence of excessive magnesium and/or deficient calcium intake on the bone mass of ovariectomized rats. Methods Three-month-old ovariectomized rats were fed with different types of drinking water: Interaction group was fed with deficient-Ca and excessive-Mg water: Ca 5 mg/L, Mg 60 mg/L; Excessive-Mg group was Ca 60 mg/L, Mg 60 mg/L; Deficient-Ca group was Ca 5 mg/L, Mg 30 mg/L; Normal group was Ca 60 mg/L, Mg 30 mg/L. After 3 months of treatment, the left femur was measured with the length and weight, then the content of Ca and Mg were determined, right femur was X-rayed, and right tibia was taken for the pathological examination. Results Calcium deficiency in water caused significant changes in all of the bone mass indexes, magnesium excess in water showed a tendency of Ca decreasing and Mg increasing in the bone. It was easily distinguish the difference in bone mineral and bone microstructure by X-ray and pathological examination: control group was the best, then was Mg excess group, Ca deficiency group was inferior, and the interaction group was the worst. Conclusion Calcium deficiency is one of the major reasons of osteoporosis, while the excessive intake of magnesium may not only disturb the bone metabolism but also aggravate the adverse effect of Ca deficiency on bone mineral and bone health.

Objective To establish a statistical model that can quantitatively analyze the dosimetric sparing of the bladder based on individual patient’ s anatomy in the static intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans for rectal cancer.Methods Static IMRT plans (7 AP fields) for 100 rectal cancer patients were used to train the model from 2012 to 2013.The anatomical features were quantitatively analyzed by the sizes of overlap regions of bladder-planning target volume (PTV) and bladder-PTV+0.5(0.5 cm margin around the PTV) .The mathematic relationship between anatomical features and dosimetric sparing of the bladder was evaluated after the bladder sparing dose was analyzed using dose-volume histogram.The established model was verified in the IMRT plans for additional 20 rectal cancer patients.Results Bladder V50 was linearly correlated with the ratio of bladder-PTV overlap size to bladder volume ( denoted as x%) , with an equation of V50=0.89x-0.99.Bladder V40 showed an approximately linear correlation with the ratio of bladder-PTV+0.5 overlap size to bladder volume (denoted as y%).The mean dose depended on both x%and y%.For the additional 20 plans, the absolute deviation between predicted and actual values for V50 and V40 were (-3.13%-3.78%) and (-5.30%-5.66%) , respectively, and the relative deviation for the mean dose was (-3.94%-3.76%) .Conclusions The model obtained in this work provides an effective method for quantitatively estimating the bladder sparing dose in IMRT plans for rectal cancer.

Objective To assess whether mTOR was activated in peripheral T lymphocytes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS)patients and to investigate the relationship among mTOR,regulatory T cells and cytokins. Methods Patients with acute coronary syndrome (n=32) were selected in ACS group. Meanwhile, patients who complainted of chest pain but were proven to be normal in ECG and in coronary arteriography, were excluded as ACS patients but were diagnosed as Chest Pain Syndrome (CPS) and selected in CPS group (n=28). The expression levels of mTOR, phospho-p70S6KT389 (indicative of mTORC1 activity) and phospho-AKTS473(indicative of mTORC2 activity) were investigated in T cells, which were isolated from peripheral blood of patients in ACS group or CPS group, using Western blot. The proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Tregs over CD4+cells were evaluated by FACS. And T cell subset related cytokines such as IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-17 and TGF-β1 were exam?ined by ELISA. Then we investigated the relationship among mTOR,regulatory T cells and cytokins by Spearman analysis. Results mTOR and p-p70S6KT389 expression were significantly enhanced in ACS group as compared with those in patients from CPS group (P<0.01). Higher levels of IFN-γ, IL-17 but lower level of TGF-β1 cytokines as well as decreased propor?tion of Tregs were observed in ACS group than those in CPS group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the level of IL-4 and p-AKTS473 between the two groups (P>0.05). By correlation analysis, p-p70S6KT389 expression level positively correlated with IFN-γ, IL-17(rs=0.91,092,P<0.01)and negatively correlated with Tregs and TGF-β1(rs=-0.85,-0.80, re?spectively, P<0.01). Conclusion mTORC1 pathway was activated in peripheral T lymphocytes of ACS patients, and Tregs insufficiency and cytokins imbalance both contribute to the activation of mTORC1 pathway and pathological process of ACS.
