Objective To investigate the influence of serum containing Qingre Chubi Decoction ( QCD) on the THP-1 cell viability and the release of interleukin 1 beta ( IL-1β) stimulated by monosodium urate crystals in vitro. Methods The cultured human monocyte THP-1 strain were divided into blank serum group, model control group, and high-, middle- and low-concentration ( volume fraction being 20%, 10%, 5%) QCD-containing serum groups. Except for the blank serum group , the other groups were all given 500 mg/L of monosodium urate crystals. On culturing hour 0, 12, 24 and 48, THP-1 cell viability was tested by methy1 thiazolyl tetrazolium celorimetry ( MTS) method. On culturing hour 48, the content of IL-1β in the supernatant of THP-1 cells was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) . Results The THP-1 cell viability in various groups was increased along with the prolongation of culturing time. The THP-1 cell viability in the model control group was increased as compared with that in the blank serum group at different time points (P<0.05 or P<0.01) . And the content of IL-1β in the model control group was increased significantly as compared with that in the blank serum group on culturing hour 48 (P<0.01) . The THP-1 cell viability in various QCD-containing serum groups on culturing hour 12 and 24, and in high- and middle-concentration QCD-containing serum group on culturing hour 48 was decreased significantly as compared with that of the model control group at the same time point ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . The content of IL-1β in various serum containing QCD groups was markedly decreased as compared with that in the model control group on culturing hour 48 ( P<0.01) . Conclusion Serum containing QCD can inhibit the viability of THP-1 cells stimulated by monosodium urate crystals, and the possible mechanism is related with the inhibition of IL-1 release.

Objective To explore the optimal dose and ways of anesthesia for creating a rat model of spastic paralysis with intermittent bilateral common carotid artery ligation. Methods 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into groups A, B, C, D, E and F. Group A was anaesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate 5 ml/kg injected subcutaneously, while group B with 4 ml/kg subcutaneously, group C with 4 ml/kg intraperitoneally, group D with 3 ml/kg subcutaneously, group E with 3 ml/kg intraperitoneally, group F with 2 ml/kg subcutaneously. The onset and duration of anesthesia, and intraoperative and postoperative mortality were compared. Results All the rats in the group A died during anesthesia, while the group F did not achieve the depth of anesthesia, and abandoned. The onset time was (6.5±0.7) min, maintained (121.4± 3.9) min, mortality was 0 in the group B, and it was (5.5±1.1) min, (122.0±3.6) min, 30% in the group C; (9.6±0.8) min, (106.7±3.7) min, 0 in the group D, (7.4±1.2) min, (105.3±3.5) min, 20% in the group E. The overall mortality rate was 0 in the groups accepted subcutaneous injected and 25% of intraperitoneal injection. Conclusion Anesthesia with 10% chloral hydrate 4 ml/kg subcutaneous injection is optimal of lower mortality, faster onset and longer maintaining in rats for spastic paralysis model with intermittent bilateral common carotid artery ligation.

Objective To explore the inter-fraction setup errors and affecting factors from data of daily fan-beam megavoltage computed tomography(MVCT). Methods A total of 37consecutive NPC patients treated with tomotherapy were hospitalized during the period of February 2015 to September 2015. For each patient,one MVCT scan was obtained after conventional positioning ,online correction and tomotherapy delivery daily ,and the scans were put into the planning computed tomography to determine inter-fraction setup errors. The MPTV was calculated with the equation:MPTV=2.5∑+0.7σ(∑:systematic error;σ:random error). Results The average absolute errors of the inter-fraction were(2.102 ± 0.0406)mm,(1.490 ± 0.0348)mm,(1.306 ± 0.335)mm and(1.392 ± 0.0384)° at three dimensions. The total MPTV accounting for inter-error was 3.4675 mm,2.9795 mm,and 2.8885 mm. Gradual increases in both inter-fraction three-dimensional displacement were observed with time and treatment(P < 0.05). Univariate analysis revealed that weight loss and retraction of neck lymph nodes were affecting factors of set-up errors. Conclusions 3 mm margins uniformly expended from clinical target volume to planning target volume may not be suitable. The personalized margin should be adopted for the design of IMRT planning. Displacement increases as a treatment course is prolonged.
