Objective To investigate the pharmacodynamics characteristics of continuously infused cisatracurium besylate during total intravenous anesthesia. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients undergoing elective oromaxillo-facial region surgeon were randomly divided into 4 groups. 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 μg/ (kg · min ) of cisatracurium besylate was continuously infused differently in group Ⅰ, group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ, and 0.1 mg/kg of cisatracurinm besylate was injured interruptedly into group Ⅳ after anesthesia induction. Neuromuscular function was assessed using an accelerometer with train-of-four (TOF) stimulation, the maximum depression of T1and times to T1 recovered to 25%(the clinic time), 75%, 90%(the vivo time) were noted. The recovery index (time of T1 recovery from 25% to 75%) was also calculated. Results The drug consumptions of cisatracurium besylate in group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ were diminished than those in group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ [(59.1±9.6),(116.7±11.5)μg/kg vs (174.9±23.1), (177.2±20.4) μg/kg](P<0.01), and group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ were nearly (P>0.05 ). The maximum depression of T1, the clinic time and the vivo time in group Ⅰ, Ⅱ,Ⅲ were smaller than those in group Ⅳ [ ( 18.5±3.6)%, (6.4±2.7)%, 0 vs (25.0±0.0)% ] (P < 0.01 ), but there were. No significant differences in recovery index in 4 groups. The maximum depression was diminished (P< 0.01 ) and the clinic time and the vivo time were prolonged (P<0.05) with the inerease of the dosage of cisatracurium besylate in group Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ. Conclusions With no cumulative effect, the duration of recovery of muscle relaxation is shortened and the recovery index of continuously infused eisatracurium besylate is prolonged. It indicates that the cisatracurium besylate is suitable for the continuously infusion for surgeon patients.

Objective To study the effect of mild hypothermia on aquaporin 4 (AQP4) expressions and cerebral edema after intracerebral hemorrhage and the mechanisms of mild hypothermia on hemorrhagic brain edema. Methods The model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) was established by infusing collagenase into right globus pallidus of the rat. The temperature was regulated by ice cubes and daylight lamp, which was modulated to an appropriate distance to the animals. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect the cerebral AQP4 expressions. Dynamic change of brain edema was observed through wet-dry weighing method. Results The brain water content (BWC) of injured side and level of AQP4 expression in perihematom tissue in ICH rats were obviously higher than those of the sham group (all P

With the rapid development of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique,the accuracy of radiotherapy has improved,while the pretreatment dose verification has become more complex.Although the experimental measurements,a widely used way to perform dose verification,is accurate and effective,its time-consuming and labor-intensive is still a challenge for physicist.The independent dose verification method such as the depth dose-off axis ratios (OAR) empirical model,Clarkson integral model,convolution model and Monte Carlo model,could partially solve these problems effectively when the accuracy is ensured within a certain range.This approach could save physicists' time to conduct dose recalculation and plan check,and has become the hotspot in the world.This paper,therefore,mainly introduces the correction-based and the model-based independent dose verification methods,and briefly discusses the development of dose verification for IMRT plans.

In vivo dosimetry (IVD) is currently the most direct and effective means of quality assurance.The electronic portal imaging device (EPID) has been widely used for IVD verification owing to its favorable dosimetric properties.In recent years,an increasing number of EPID-based IVD studies have emerged around the world.The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the present progress in EPID-based IVD studies,and to provide a reference for the subsequent application of EPID in IVD.

Independent check is one of the key measures of quality control (QC) in radiotherapy and is essential for the assurance of radiotherapy accuracy.In recent years,with the application of computer-aided system,the automaticity of independent check,as well as its accuracy and efficiency,increases.Meanwhile,QC has evolved from a device-centered to a process-centered program.Therefore,independent check has been increasingly systematic and specific.This review gives a brief summary of the implementation and development of independent check.

Objective To find a method to improve the range accuracy of moving target such as peripheral lung tumors, since a single CT snapshot may not be accurate during the treatment process.Methods A simple harmonic motion phantom, embedded with a cube and a circular ball, was used to simulate the tumor motion. Individualized moving targets were scanned 24 times with different amplitudes and frequencies. Then the images were fused from every 1, 2 or 3 sets of CT scans. The GTV volume variation of circular target and the length variation of the cube target along the z axis were contoured and analyzed. Results As motion amplitude increased, the maximum of both circular target volume and cube target length was increased, while the minimum of the factors was decreased. Motion frequency affected the target volume less than amplitude. For a cube target with the length of 3.3 cm at stationary phase, when motion frequencies was 20 and motion amplitude was 2 cm, the maximal length was 2. 4 times of the minimal length (5. 1 cm vs. 2. 1 cm). When it came to the cube target groups fused from every 1,2 and 3 sets of CT scans, the average length and standard deviation were (3.77 ± 1.20) cm, (4.18 ±0. 91)cm and (4.52 ±0. 59) cm, respectively. With the increase of fused scan number, targets became bigger, the standard deviation decreased, and the change of center positions was decreased. Conclusions The motion amplitude, frequency and the number of CT scans are the main factors affecting target definition, though, the optimized scanning phase is not certained. When 4DCT and respiration gating technique are not available,the efficient and practical method to solve this problem is to scan the target three or more times and fuse them in planning system, which will generate a larger, more reproducible GTV volume for moving targets.

Objective To study the correlation between high resolution computed tomography manifestations and expression of transforming growth factor beta,tumor necrosis factor alpha in radiationinduced lung injury of rats,and to investigate the vslues of cytokine detection and HRCT scanning for the prediction and early diagnosis of radiation-induced lung injury.Methods Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats were randomly divided into eight groups,group A was normal control group.and group BH were irradiated with a single dose of 15 Gy to the lungs.HRCT scanning Wag performed before and 1 week,2,4,8,12,16,24 weeks after radiation in group A-H respectively.The expression of TGF-beta and TNF-alpha were detected with ELISA. All the rats were killed to observe pathological changes of their lungs.HRCT signs,levels of cytokine were simultaneously compared and analyzed.The t-test and Spenrman rank correlation were used for the statistics.Results Four HRCT signs were observed during the 24 weeks after radiation,including ground-glass opacity(1 case),patchy consolidation(8 cases),massive consolidation(7 cases)and fibrosis(3 cases).The average levels of TGF-beta in group B-H[(3.33±0.47),(3.20±0.65),(3.12±0.45),(3.54±0.80),(3.30±1.13),(2.49±0.67),(4.19±0.22)μg/L,respectively]were hisher than the control group[(0.45±0.14)μg/L.P＜0.05].At 24 weeks the average level increased to the highest peak[(4.19 4-0.22)μg/L,P＜0.05].At 1 week and 2,4,8,12 weeks after radiation,the average level of TNF-alpha in radiation group[(236.52±29.01),(214.91±34.53),(270.97±42.12),(208.83±86.51),(208.83±82.23)ng/L]was hisher than the control group[(31.78±0.92)ng/L,P＜0.05].The average level increased to the highest peak [(270.97±42.12)ng/L,P＜0.05]at 4 weeks.The average level at 16 and 24 weeks[(60.63±38.49),(32.07±1.05)ng/L]dropped to the level similar to the control group(P＞0.05).There were no rank correlations between HRCT manifestations and expression of TGF-beta and TNF-alpha(rs=0.5570 and 0.1013.P＞0.05).HRCT signs were correlated with pathological changes.Conciusions The monitoring of TGF-beta and TNF.alpha in the serum after irradiation can predict the development of radiation-induced lung injury.There are no rank correlations between HRCT manifestations and expression of TGF-beta and TNF-alpha.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of dose?volume histograms ( DVHs ) of organs at risk ( OARs ) including the bladder, rectum, and small intestine in volumetric modulated arc therapy ( VMAT) plans for cervical cancer. Methods A total of 100 VMAT plans for cervical cancer were assigned into the learning group. The correlation of the anatomical information with the V30 , V40 , and V50 values of the bladder, rectum, and small intestine was evaluated in the group. The support vector regression ( SVR) algorithm was used to establish the correspondence between the anatomical information and the DVHs of OARs. The DVHs of OARs in the verification group containing 20 VMAT plans were predicted based on the anatomical information. Results The DVHs of the bladder, rectum, and small intestine were likely to be influenced mainly by the spatial relationship between these OARs and target volume. In the verification group, the prediction errors of V30,V40 and V50 by SVR algorithm were-2.4%±3. 5%,-2.5%±3. 8%, and-1.5%±4. 9% for the bladder, 0.5%±2. 6%,-1.5%±5. 1%, and-2.0%±7. 4% for the rectum, and-2.9%± 5. 3%, 2.7%±7. 7%, and 5.3%±11. 1% for the small intestine, respectively. Conclusions After learning the correlation between the anatomical information and the DVHs of OARs from prior VMAT plans for cervical cancer, SVR algorithm can precisely predict the DVHs of the bladder, rectum, and small intestine based on the anatomical information.
