5.A dosimetric comparison of intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus conventional tangential irradiation for breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery
Cancer Research and Clinic 2010;22(3):182-185
Objective To evaluate the dosimetric benefits of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for early stage breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery. Methods Ten patients with stage Tis~2N0M0 breast cancer receiving breast-conserving surgery were selected for the study. Six cases were on the left, four were on the right. A dosimetric comparison of IMRT with conventional wedged tangential technique was performed on each patient using three dimensional treatment planning. The total prescribed dose for both plans was 50 Gy/25 fractions. Dose volume histograms (DVH) were used to compare the planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risks(OARS). Results The PTV coverage in IMRT plan was similar to that of the conventional plan (97.83 % vs 97.61%). A better dose uniformity throughout the whole breast was achieved by IMRT plan. The percentage of PTV receiving less than 95 % prescribed dose and more than 103 % prescribed dose (inhomogeneity index IHI), decreased from 25.42 % to 2.71%: the percentage of PTV receiving more than 105 % prescribed dose (V105 %) decreased from 25.79 % to 1.08 %. A better amelioration of IHI and reduction of V105 % in IMRT plans were observed in the relatively large PTV subgroup. The Dmean and percentage of volume receiving more than 30 Gy (V30) of heart from 6.72 Gy to 4.95 Gy, and from 7.23 % to 1.04 %. the Dmean and percentage of volume receiving more than 20 Gy (V20) of ipsilateral from 9.19 Gy to 7.65 Gy, and from 22.34 % to 20.18 %; the Dmean of contralateral breast decreased from 5.12 Gy to 3.52 Gy;the Dmean of contralateral lung decreased from 2.76 Gy to 1.79 Gy; the Dmean of liver decreased from 7.23 Gy to 1.04 Gy for right side patients. Conclusion Forward planning IMRT based on a standard tangential beam arrangement significantly improves the dose homogeneity throughout the target volume of intact breast and reduces the dose to OARS, especially in patients with large breast volumes who might be proposed as candidates of IMRT for intact breast.
6.Factors related to duration of serum HBsAg in patients with acute hepatitis B
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;30(11):1173-1175
Objective To investigate the factors related to negative conversion of HBsAg in patients with acute hepatitis B (AHB).Meth-ods A total of 106 AHB patients who were admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases,Zhoukou Central Hospital from February 2007 to February 2013 were recruited.Liver function,five serological markers of HBV infection (HBsAg,HBeAg,anti-HBs,anti-HBe,and anti-HBc),and HBV-DNA were measured every three months.All patients were followed up for 12 months.The major HBV genotypes (A through D)were determined by type-specific primer nested PCR.Categorical data were expressed as rates and compared with χ2 test;continuous data were expressed as mean ±SD and analyzed by t-test.Results When just admitted to our hospital,compared with the pa-tients with negative conversion of HBsAg,AHB patients with HBsAg persisting for more than 6 or 12 months had a significantly lower peak level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)(718 ±696 vs 1282 ±913 U/L,622 ±514 vs 1203 ±924 U/L,P<0.05)and a significantly high-er level of HBV-DNA (6.8 ±1.4 vs 5.2 ±1.5 log10 copies/ml,7.3 ±1.6 vs 5.4 ±1.5 log10 copies/ml,P<0.05).The HBsAg clear-ance rate in patients with HBV genotype A was significantly lower than that in patients with HBV genotype B or D (75.0% vs 89.5% or 100%,83.3% vs 97.4% or 100%,P<0.05).Conclusion The HBsAg clearance rate in AHB patients may be associated with HBV genotypes,peak level of ALT,and HBV-DNA.

China Pharmacy 2005;0(14):-
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of 5 angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in the treatment of essential hypertension.METHODS:120 patients with essential hypertension were randomly assigned to receive domestic captopril(Group A),captopril from joint venture(Group B),fosinopril(Group C),benazepril(Group D)or enalapril(Group E)for 4 weeks.The cost-effectiveness of the 5 groups was evaluated.RESULTS:The total effective rates for A,B,C,D and E groups were 75.00%,75.00%,91.67%,91.67% and 87.50%,respectively.As compared with Group A,the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of C,D and E groups were 1 249.67,1 256.39 and 636.16,respectively.CONCLUSION:The total effective rate in Group E is slightly less than in other groups,yet Group E is superior to other groups because of its lower cost-effectiveness ratio and lower incremental cost-effectiveness ratio.
