Intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)has become the mainstay of treatment modal-ity for nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). The whole treatment course generally continues 7 to 8 weeks. With the radiotherapy proceeding,the patients exhibit oropharyngeal reaction aggravating,weight losing and tumor shrinking,resulting in the changes of tumor target and surrounding tissue. Those changes may influence the dose distribution of tumor and organ at risk. It is necessary to modulate target volume during radiotherapy of NPC.

In recent years, there's a new theory of lipid condensation or accumulation being the etiology for obstruction of qi in the chest result in heart disease. The theory believes that thick lipid exists in meridians. If one takes too much fatty diet, there will be lipid condensation or accumulation, resulting in disturbance of qi transformation in meridians,. Scholars explore the relationship of preventive treatment of disease by traditional Chinese medicine with lipid condensation or accumulation theory. This enriches the etiology of TCM.

Objective To study the value of CT on defining the gross tumor volume (GTV) in three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT), by comparing the GTV contoured on preoperative CT with postoperative pathology guided GTV in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Thirty-three patients with histologically proved NSCLC had had CT scan of the thorax before sugery. We contoured the GTV for both primary tumor (GTV-T) and the regional metastatic lymph nodes (GTV-N) on preoperative CT scan. The GTV-T was defined on lung window while the GTV-N on mediastinal window. The metastatic lymph node was defined as≥ 10mm in diameter of short axis,while

Objective To explore the pattern of cervical nodal metastasis and the clinical significance of total thyroidectomy plus functional neck lymphadenectomy in papillary thyroid carcinoma patients. Methods Clinical and pathological data of 172 patients with papillary thyroid cancer who underwent total thyroidectomy plus functional neck lymph node dissection at Jinan Military General Hospital were retrospectively reviewed, including patient demographics, extent of surgery, parathyroid hormone level,recurrence, tumor pathology, such as tumor size, multifocality, capsular invasion, vascular invasion,extrathyroidal extension, and lymph node status. Results Of the 172 functional neck dissection patients (47 ambilateral), the incidence of lymphonodus metastasis in regions Ⅵ, Ⅳ and Ⅲ was 96. 3% ,78. 5%and 62.1% respectively. Rate of nodal metastasis was higher in patients with extracapsular invasion than in patients with no invasion ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Serum parathyroid hormone levels significantly decreased immediately postoperatively in total thyroidectomy plus functional neck dissection and remained low for several weeks thereafter ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The 5-, 10- and 15-year survival rate was ( 98. 83 ± 0. 82) %, (98. 23 ± 1.02 ) % and (96. 42 ± 1.43 )%, respectively. Conclusions Therapeutic neck lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid cancer is recommended for cervical nodal metastasis patients. Total thyroidectomy plus functional neck dissection is important in the treatment of papillary thyroid cancer.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) following hip arthroplasty utilizing locking compression plates (LCP) in regard to tips and tricks on the construction of LCP augmented with locking attachment plate (LAP) and titanium cables (TC).Methods A total of 41 cases of PFF follow hip arthroplasty (THA 3,Hemi-arthroplasty 2) between May 2008 to April 2016 have been retrospectively analyzed.There were 13 males and 28 females with an average age of 70.5±8.6 years,including 11 case of Unified Classification System (UCS) type Ⅳ.3B1.1,21 cases of B2.1 and 9 cases of type C.All were closed fractures caused by simple fall in terms of low-energy injury.Surgical options depended on individual configuration of the fractures with the combination of LCP and LAP or TC.In respect of reduction techniques,minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) was used in 5 cases for type B1.1 and 8 cases for type C,Mini-open in 6 cases for type B1.1 and 1 case for type C.Posterolateral approach with open reduction internal fixation were selected for type B2.1.The patients were followed up periodically.Harris score,Mukundan criteria and complications were recorded.Results Five cases died of the comorbidities (heart failure 3,pulmonary infection 1,multiple organs failure 1) within 1 year postoperatively.The follow-up rate was 78.0％ (32 out of 41 cases) and the average follow-up time was 41 months (ranging 11 to 71 months).No malunion,no reduction lost,no hardware failure,no hip dislocation and revision surgery following PFF care found.All cases showed the signs of fracture healing from 8 to 12 (average 10 weeks) postoperatively except 2 cases of delay union.The postoperative complications shown in 11 cases,including 2 cases of superficial infection of the wound,6 cases of deep vein thrombosis (popliteal vein 2,intramural gastrocnemius vein 4) and 3 cases of the prosthetic loosening.Harris score at the latest follow-up were 91.5±2.1 for group B1.1,77.5±4.2 for group B2.1 and 83.5±3.8 for group C.The LCP lengths were 248.9±24.3 mm,258.6±25.2 mm,280.4±24.0 mm for group B1.1,B2.1 and C respectively.The LCP length of group B1.1 was short than that of group C (P＜0.05).The screw numbers for the proximal fragments were 6.1±1.8,6.5±0.7 and 3.8±0.7 for group B1.1,B2.1 and C respectively.The number of screws used in B1.1 and B2.1 were more than that in C (P＜0.05).The screw numbers for the distal fragments were 3.5±0.5,3.9±0.5 and 5.1±0.8 for group B1.1,B2.1 and C respectively,indicating less screws used in B1.1 and B2.1 than that in C (P＜0.05).The cable numbers were 1.9±1.3,2.5±0.9 and 3.7±0.7 respectively for group B1.1,B2.1 and C (P＜0.05).The LAP used in 2,12 and 6 cases for type B 1.1,B2.1 and C respectively without significant difference statistically (P＞0.05).Conclusion Utilizing LCP for PFF following hip arthroplasty can achieve satisfactory short and mid-term clinical outcomes with the prerequisites of precise and individualized preoperative planning.LCP augmented by LAP and TC is a reliable option with low complication rate.However,type C PFF needs longer plate with more screws at distal fragment and more titanium cables.

Objective: To explore the impact of tennis on the visual health of primary school students, so as to provide a basis for myopia prevention. Methods: In September 2021, a total of 202 third grade students from Fengtai Affiliated School of Renmin University of China in Beijing were recruited, with 75 students in the intervention group and 127 students in the control group. In addition to attending the same cultural and physical education courses, the intervention group added a tennis course twice a week and tested their vision before the intervention (September 2021), middle (January 2022) and later (June 2022). Data collected at different time points in the two groups were analyzed by using independent sample t-test for comparison between blocks, and single factor repeated measurement ANOVA for analysis of time point factors. Results: After intervention, among male subjects, the average visual acuity of the left and right eyes in the intervention group were higher than that in the control group at the third visual acuity test (left eye:5.00±0.13,4.88±0.29, right eye:5.00±0.12,4.88±0.30, t =2.33, 2.36, P <0.05). Among female subjects, the second visual acuity test (left eye:5.03±0.17, 4.86±0.21, right eye:5.03±0.15, 4.85±0.23) and the third visual acuity test (left eye:4.97±0.13, 4.81±0.23, right eye:4.97±0.14, 4.82±0.24) showed that the average visual acuity of the left and right eyes in the intervention group were higher than that in the control group among females (second: t =3.84, 3.87, third: t =3.70, 3.46, P < 0.01 ). After intervention, the detection rate of visual impairment in both males and females control groups increased at three tests, with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=17.86, 34.77, P <0.01). In the first visual acuity test, there was no statistically significant difference in the detection rate of visual impairment between the control group and the intervention group for both males and females ( χ 2=0.01, 0.10, P >0.05). The third visual impairment detection rate of males in the intervention group was lower than that of the control group (20.00% vs 45.45%), while the second and third visual impairment detection rates of female students in the intervention group were lower than those of the control group (22.86% vs 54.00%; 28.57% vs 70.00%) ( χ 2=7.34, 8.24, 14.18, P < 0.01). Conclusions Tennis can alleviate and prevent the occurrence of myopia in primary school students to a certain extent. Sports such as tennis should be actively promoted to protect the visual health of primary school students.

Objective To analyze the relationship between blood glucose,blood lipid and body mass index (BMI) in elderly patients with hypertension.Methods Form January 2016 to December 2017,376 hypertensive patients over 65 year old in Jinan city were enrolled in this study.The sex,age,BMI,fasting blood glucose and blood lipid were investigated and tested.The prevalence of coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus in hypertensive patients were investigated,and the relationship between BMI and blood glucose,blood lipid and liver function index were explored.Results Of 376 hypertensive patients,the detection rate of diabetes mellitus was 21.01％ (79/376),221 cases were diagnosed with coronary heart disease,with the detection rate of 58.78％.With the rise of BMI,fasting blood glucose showed an upward trend.Person correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose(r =0.167,P =0.003).The difference between TG and TC in different BMI groups was statistically significant(FTG =12.48,P ＜ 0.001;Frc =4.83,P ＜ 0.001).The content of alanine transaminase in the overweight group and obese group was significantly higher than that in the normal body weight group,the difference was statistically significant(F =5.24,P =0.005).Conclusion For elderly hypertensive patients,it is urgent to test blood glucose and coronary heart disease screening.For people over the age of 65,obesity is still an important risk factor for hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia.Therefore,body weight control is needed in elderly patients with hypertensive.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors related to the hemodynamic instability occurring after carotid artery stenting(CAS) in elderly patients with carotid artery stenosis.Methods:The clinical data of 80 patients with carotid artery stenosis, who were treated with CAS at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University during the period from January 2018 to Decmber 2018, were retrospectively analyzed. Record demographic characteristics (age, gender, height, weight), history of underlying diseases (hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, heart failure, etc.), history of medications, etc. Observe the clinical parameters such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urine volume, input and output, albumin, hemoglobin, location of stenosis, and degree of stenosis. Measurement data conforming to the normal distribution were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation ( Mean± SD), and the t-test was used for comparison between groups; the measurement data that does not conform to the normal distribution were expressed as the median (interquartile range) [ M( P25, P75)] indicates that the rank sum test was used for comparison between groups; the Chi-square test was used for comparison of count data between groups. Relevant variables were subjected to single factor analysis, and statistically significant indicators were selected according to the results of single factor analysis to be included in the multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results:After CAS, a total of 37 patients among the 80 patients developed hemodynamic instability, the incidence rate was 46.25%. Univariate analysis indicated that the factors associated with the occurrence of postoperative hemodynamic instability included height , platelet count, ulceration plaque and the fluid intake in the first 24 hours after surgery; Multivariate regression analysis revealed that the presence of ulceration plaque ( OR=11.559, 95% CI: 1.232-108.495) and the fluid intake in the first 24 hours after surgery( OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.001) were the independent risk factors related to the hemodynamic instability after CAS. Conclusion:Elderly patients with the presence of ulceration plaque before surgery are more likely to develop hemodynamic instability after CAS, and within 24 hours after surgery is a high-risk time period for hemodynamic instability.

The present pandemic prevention and control of 2019 novel coronavirus diseases(COVID-19) is still severe in China and abroad, which is however witnessing a dimensional application and success of the information technology.For example, the remote consultation system of epidemic prevention and control had played a key role in Henan province in its fight against COVID-19. The architecture of the system was composed of software and hardware architecture, data exchange technology, security system design, and data collection specifications. By the end of September 2021, the audio and video systems of 147 designated hospitals for patients of COVID-19 had been constructed, and 98 of which had achieved clinical data sharing and interaction. The remote consultation system effectively guaranteed the real-time sharing of case data, saved diagnosis costs and treatment time, laying a solid foundation for the pandemic prevention and control of COVID-19.

Objective:To investigate the ethics and existing problems of experimental animals in medical experiments and experimental teaching, and to formulate countermeasures so that animal ethics and animal welfare can be truly reflected in medical experiments.Methods:In this study, a "Basic Function Experiment Center Animal Experiment Questionnaire" with 25 questions was formulated from three aspects: the ethical cognition of experimental animals, whether animal experiments are ethical or not, how to view the problems of animal ethics and experimental teaching and the cognition of virtual simulation experiment teaching. Questionnaire was sent to Hubei University of Medicine to investigate the international students of Batch 2017 (5-year program), undergraduates of Batch 2017 (5-year program) and nursing students of Batch 2018 (4-year program) as well as teachers, researchers and employees of laboratory animal center (all with bachelor degree or above). The survey results were expressed as percentage.Results:The recovery rate of the questionnaire in this study was 98.04%(2 451/2 500), among which the practitioners, teachers and researchers in the laboratory animal center clearly understood the ethics of experimental animals, but there was a widespread phenomenon of lagging ethics among the students. For example, 16.24% (398/2 451) students had not received animal experiment ethics education and training, 29.46% (722/2 451) were not clear about animal protection laws and regulations, 7.14% (175/2 451) thought animal experiments were immoral; 29.54% (724/2 451) had vague cognition of animal welfare and ethical knowledge; 25.91% (635/2 451) were not familiar with the operation steps; 9.38% (230/2 451) were indifferent to the extra treatment of animals due to operation errors, 7.83% (192/2 451) chose to give up the experiment in the treatment of animals after massive bleeding, only 5.43% (133/2 451) chose to continue the experiment after timely hemostasis and infusion, and 9.26% (227/2 451) chose to do operations unrelated to the experiment. After the experiment, 2.28% (56/2 451) chose to kill the animals by bloodletting, only 5.51% (135/2 451) chose excessive anesthesia euthanasia, and 1.96% (48/2 451) chose to kill the animals by cervical dislocation and violence. Only 15.79% (387/2 451) chose to remember the dead animal for 2 minutes. Only 32.56%(798/2 451) of the respondents understood virtual simulation experiment, 34.92% (856/2 451) of the respondents thought that virtual simulation experiment or experimental teaching video could be used to replace the existing live animal experiment, 77.56% (1 901/2 451) believed that the construction of virtual simulation laboratory should be strengthened.Conclusion:It is imperative to strengthen the education of students' ethics of experimental animals, which is conducive to the establishment of correct ethics of experimental animals for medical students, so that the "3R" principle and animal welfare can be truly implemented in experimental teaching and scientific research experiments.
