Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(14):2205-2208
Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of safflower yellow injection in the treatment of sta-ble angina pectoris.Methods 70 patients with stable angina pectoris were selected and divided into observation group and control group by random number table method,35 cases in each group.The observation group used injection of safflower,and the control group used Xuesaitong.The effect was compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 94.3%,which was higher than 74.3% of the control group,the differ-ence was statistically significant(χ2 =5.285,P <0.01).The clinical indexes of the two groups after treatment were significantly improved than before treatment,the differences were statistically significant (t =13.021,25.407,3.376, 3.930,7.119,10.163,18.044,3.765,3.124,6.096,all P <0.05).The angina attack times of the observation group was less than that of the control group ,the dosage of nitroglycerin was lower than that of the control group ,the differences were statistically significant(t =4.686,6.568,all P <0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reaction was 5.7% in the observation group,compared with the control group of 8.6%,the difference was not statistically signifi-cant(χ2 =0.729,P >0.05).Conclusion The injection of safflower yellow pigment in the treatment of stable angina pectoris has high safety.

Objective:To provide a new morning check method for the output dose stability of the multileaf collimator (MLC) of the CyberKnife M6 (CK-M6) system.Methods:The CT images of a verification phantom with a size of 20 cm × 20 cm × 10 cm were transmitted into the Precision Treatment Plan ning System (ver. 1.1.1.1). The high-precision alignment between the accelerator output front and the fixed position of the phantom surface was achieved using the fiducial tracking method. A 10 cm × 10 cm radiation field was formed by the MLC and a DailyCheck plan with an output of 200 MU was designed. The repeatability, sensitivity, and accuracy of the DailyCheck plan were measured, and the CK-M6 system was continuously tested for one month using the artificial fixed method and the DailyCheck plan designed in this study. Results:The average and the standard deviation of 10 repeated measurements by the DailyCheck plan were 492.28 pC and 0.09, respectively, indicating good stability. There was a linear correlation between the measured values and the output dose, with a correlation coefficient of R2 > 0.999. Moreover, there was a position deviation of 2 mm between the phantom and the accelerator output front, and the result ant effect on the measured values was equivalent to a dose deviation caused by an output of 1.24 MU. The result from the continuous measurement of both the artificial fixed method and the DailyCheck plan fell within permissible limits, showing high consistency. Conclusions:The DailyCheck plan established through the fiducial tracking of a verification phantom can achieve the convenient, quick, and accurate daily detection of the output dose stability of the MLC of CK-M6. Therefore, this method can be widely applied in the clinical quality control of the CK-M6 system.
