1.Impact of accelerator's gantry angle on multi-leaf collimator position accuracy
Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology 2009;18(4):317-320
Objective To study the impact of accelerator's gantry angle on MLC position accuracy. Methods Kodak X-omat-V Films were used, appropriate multi-leaf collimator positions and gantry angles were chosen, precise setup was needed , and the exposal films were analyzed by RIT113 software. Results At all conditions, most of the leaf position errors were less than 0. 5 mm. There were 2 pairs of leaf position errors larger than 1 mm when the gantry angle was 270° and the leaves moved from left to right. Conclu-sions Gantry angle can affect the accuracy of multi-leaf collimator position. Gravity and inertia increase the uncertainty of leaf position accuracy. Prieise setup is critical for the dose measurement.
2.Changes of ICAM-1 expression in transplanted lung at the early stage after rat pulmonary transplantation
Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2000;21(4):213-215
Objective To study the changes of ICAM-1 expression in transplanted lung at the early stage after rat pulmonary transplantation.Methods The expression level of ICAM-1 protein and its mRNA in rat transplanted lung after 4 h of ventilation and reperfussion were detected by using immunohisto chemical method(SABC method)and semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase reaction method in the experimental group(n=6).When donor lungs had been flushed with low potassium solution(LPDS) and preserved in 4.C LPDS for 12 h,left orthotopic pulmonary transplantation was performed.In control group (n=6), left pulmonary artery,pulmonary vein and bronchi were fully freed to be naked.Immunohistochemical test results were recorded in negative(-),suspicion(±),faint positive(+),positive(++)and intensive positive(+++).PCR products were separated by agrose gels and the density of the bands were determined by density scanning.Results The stained color of alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary vascular endothdial cells in the transplanted lung was significantly more intensive in experimental group than in control group(P<0.01) and the relative density values(ICAM-1/βactin)were also significandy higher in experimental group(0.837±0.044) than in control group (0.442±0.037),P<0.01. Conclusions ICAM-1 expression in the transplanted lung was up-regulated in the early stage after pulmonary transplantation,which was related with the enhancement of ICAM-1 mRNA.

Objective To study the changes and correlations of the blood lipids, glucose and blood coagulation factors in the animal models and patients with lipodystrophia. Methods The models of hyperlipoidemia were set up in 30 rabbits, and 40 cases of the hyperlipoidemia and 40 cases of the healthy subjects randomly were enrolled in this study. Their blood lipids, glucose and coagulation factors were detected. Results The serum levels of TC,TG,LDL-C and Glu in the rabbit models and patients with hyperlipoidemia notably increased compared with controls(P0 05). HDL-C level increased in the rabbit models(P0 05). Conclusions The change of the blood lipids level in the rabbit models was different from that of the patients with hyperlipoidemia. But both may company the abnormality of carbohydrate metabolism, and hyperlipoidemia may affect the endogenous blood coagulation system to cause the blood to present the high coagulation.

This study was aimed to explore the clinical efficiency of modified Xiao-Y ao (XY) powder and acupuncture in the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS). A total of 90 D-IBS patients were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group, with 45 patients in each group. Patients in the treatment group received acupuncture combined with modified XY powder. Patients in the control group received oral administration of montmorillonite powder, compound glutamine enteric-coated capsules, compound azintamide enteric coated tablet. Four weeks were one treatment course. After two treatment courses, the pretreatment and posttreatment symptom score, the score of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD)/(HAMA), and the overall efficacy were compared. The results showed that compared with pretreatment, clinical symptoms were improved in varying degrees after treatment in both groups (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). HAMD and HAMA were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The treatment group had obvious advantages compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The overall efficacy of the treatment group was 91.11%, which was significantly higher than the control group of 68.89%(P < 0.05). It was concluded that modified XY powder and acupuncture can quickly relieve gastrointestinal symptoms, improve anxiety and depression. It is an effective treatment method for D-IBS.

Objective To develop a method for simultaneous determination of three hydrophilic components and two lipophilic components in Radix et Rhizoma Salviae Miltiorrhizae. Methods The RP-HPLC method was performed by using a Welchrom C18 column(250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm)with a mobile phase of acetonitrile (A)-0.1%phosphoric acid(B). The gradient elution program was as follows:0-15 min,10%→12%A;-35 min,12%→20%A;-45 min,20%→60%A;-65 min,60%→65%A;-80 min,65%→80%A;-90 min,10%A. The flow rate was kept at 1.0 mL?min-1 . The detection wavelength was set at 280 nm. The column temperature was 30 ℃ . Results A good linearity was obtained over 0.059 5-2.380 0 μg for tanshinol, 0.346 0-13. 840 0 μg for rosmarinic acid, 0. 656 0 - 26. 240 0 μg for salviamolic acid B, 0. 420 0 - 16.800 0 μg for cryptotanshinone and 0.414 0- 16.560 0 μg for tanshinoneIIA, respectively ( r = 0.999 9). The average recovery rates were between 98.69%-100.91% with RSD less than 1.2%(n = 6). Conclusion The method is rapid, accurate, credible and repeatable, and can provide basis for the quality control of Radix et Rhizoma Salviae Miltiorrhiza.

Objective To understand the schistosomiasis epidemic and control history in Jingxi City,so as to provide the ev-idence for improving the future work. Methods The data of schistosomiasis prevention and control work were collected and ana-lyzed comprehensively in Jingxi City from 1956-2015. Results From 1956,the schistosomiasis prevention and control work car-ried out,and in 1985,Jingxi City reached the standard of schistosomiasis transmission interrupted and no local schistosome in-fected residents and livestock were found for 36 years. In May 2016,the city reached the national standard of Schistosomiasis Elimination Assessment Review. The cumulative number of schistosomiasis detection of residents was 348801 person-times, and 10434 schistosomiasis patients were found. The cumulative number of schistosomiasis detection of cattle was 20674 head-times,and 590 schistosome infected cattle were found. The cumulative schistosomiasis treatment number of residents was 18739 per-son-times,and 512 cattle were treated. The cumulative detection area with Oncomelania hupensis was 65213.25 hm2 ,and 353.80 hm2 area with O. hupensis snails was found. Conclusions Jingxi City has reached the standard of schistosomiasis elimi-nation,but there is still recurrence of O. hupensis snails,and the imported infection source exists. Therefore,we should strength-en the monitoring of floating population.

Liuwei-Dihuang Pill is a famous medicine in the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and it is important and interesting to explore its new clinical indications. This study is based on the data downloaded from the SinoMed by querying on term of Liuwei-Dihuang Pill. By applying the data slicing algo-rithm, we achieved outstanding symptoms associated with Liuwei-Dihuang Pill. Examining these symptoms, besides those which are widely known as common knowledge, some other potential symptoms are found. These potential symptoms are aphtha, (sexual) dysfunction, constipation, and heel pain which might be taken as new clinical indi-cations of Liuwei-Dihuang Pill.
