Objective To evaluate the hematological toxicity of craniospinal irradiation,and determine the short-term clinical efficacy and prognostic factors in medulloblastoma.Methods Eightseven patients who underwent craniospinal irradiation were retrospectively analyzed with respect to the changes in hematology during craniospinal irradiation.The effect of sex,age,tumor location,interval between surgery and radiation,interval time during radiation and radiation sequence on survival were also studied.Results The 1,2,3-year overall survival (OS) and progress-free survival (PFS) rate were 95.0％,92.4％,84.9％ and 93.7％,89.8％,80.8％,respectively.The incidence of 2-3 grade leucopenia was 90.8％,while the incidence of 1-2 grade thrombocytopenia was 70.1％,and the incidence of 3 grade thrombocytopenia was 1.1％.The incidence of 1-2 grade hemoglobin reduction was 16.1％.No patient had grade 3-4 hemoglobin reduction.Kaplan-Meier analysis shows that more favorable prognoses in terms of 3-year PFS were evident for 0-1 grade thrombocytopenia compared with 2-4 grade thrombocytopenia (x2 =3.936,P ＜ 0.05).And 3-year PFS and 3-year OS were evident for 0 grade hemoglobin reduction compared with 1-4 grade hemoglobin reduction (x2 =10.269,9.336,P ＜ 0.05).The 3-year PFS between interval time during radiation ＜ 3 days and ≥ 3 days was 84.6％ and 68.6％ (x2 =4.413,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Hematological toxicity during craniospinal irradiation and the interval time during radiation were prognostic factors.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic factors and treatment results of intracranial ependymomas (EPs).Methods Thirty-one intracranial EPs patients who received postoperative radiotherapy in Beijing Shijitan Hospital between January 2009 and June 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.Twenty-two males and 9 females had an average age of 18 years (range 3-60 years).Seventeen patients received gross total resection (GTR) while fourteen received subtotal resection (STR).Median total radiation dose was 53.9 Gy (48.6-60 Gy).The three-year and five-year progress-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method.Univariate analysis was performed using eight clinical and dosimetric factors by Log-Rank testing.Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify the independent prognostic factors correlated to EPs.Results The median time of follow-up was 51 months.At the endpoint of the follow-up period,7 patients experienced tumor recurrence:5 had a local recurrence (LR) and 2 had both LR and distant recurrence.Six patients died,4 of which had cases of pediatric infratentorial anaplastic EPs.The three and five-year progress-free survival (PFS) were 80.6％ and 75.9％.Overall survival (OS) at three-year and five-year were 83.9％ and 76.2％,respectively.Univariate analysis showed a more favorable prognoses in terms of three-year PFS,five-year PFS and OS for GTR compared to STR (x2 =4.685,6.311,4.238,P ＜ 0.05).Besides,a more favourable univariate outcome in terms of five-year PFS was evident in patients when the total radiotherapy dose was ＞ 55 Gy compared to ≤55 Gy (x2 =4.210,P ＜ 0.05),and no severe radiotherapy complications occurred.Conclusions Surgery is the major treatment method,while adjuvant radiotherapy is important for subtotal resection and anaplastic EPs patients.Surgical resection and radiotherapy dose were relevant to prognosis.

objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of pinealoblastoma in children. Methods:The clinical data of 10 patients with pinealoblastoma were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were admitted to the Department of Radiation Oncology, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from December 2011 to December 2015. Results:This study included 10 patients, with 8 males and 2 females, with a median age of 7 years. Of the 10 patients, 5 underwent gross total resection and 5 underwent sub-total resection. The 10 patients were exposed to craniospinal irradiation after surgery. The median doses of craniospinal irradiation and tumor bed were 30.6 (25.5-36) Gy and 55.8 (50.4-60) Gy, respectively. Of the 10 patients, 4 underwent chemotherapy 1 month af-ter radiotherapy. The median follow-up period was 16.5 (1.5-49) months. The 10 patients survived. No local and distant recurrences were observed. Conclusion:Pinealoblastomas are rare, malignant, and pineal regional lesions that can metastasize along the neuroax-is. Surgery combined with adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be applied to patients with pinealoblastoma. Prognosis is also favorable.

Objective To evaluate the difference between CT and CT/MR DWI images for gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation in precision radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods 20 patients with pathologically confirmed as esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were selected for target delineation.The GTV based on CT and CT/MR DWI images of the patients were delineated by six radiation oncologists.The mean,standard deviation,coefficient of variation (CV =standard deviation/mean) of GTV volume,the ratio of minimum value and maximum value (ratio =maximum value/minimum value) of the GTV volume were calculated.And the CV and ratio of the GTV by the two methods were compared.Results The biggest difference of GTV volume on CT and on CT/MR DWI images was 55.71 and 13.89 cm3 (F =12.80,P ＜ 0.05).The CV on CT and CT/MR DWI images were 0.30 ± 0.08,0.11-±0.04 (Z =-3.92,P ＜ 0.05),and the ratio of GTV volume were 2.38 ± 0.62,1.34 ± 0.13,respectively (Z =-3.92,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions CT/MR DWI images could display GTV more directly,which may help to increase consistency of GTV for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma delineation among different radiation oncologists.

【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between the expression of PRDX3 （thioredoxin-dependent peroxide reductase）and the occurrence and development of ccRCC （clear cell renal cell carcinoma）. 【Methods】 The expression of PRDX3 was first verified in 16 cases of ccRCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues. In the present study ， according to the PRDX3 over-expression level，we established the stable PRDX3 overexpression cell lines and knockdown cell lines in 786-O cell lines. We detected the growth rate of tumor cells after overexpression and knockdown of PRDX3. Interaction proteins with PRDX3 were searched by anti-flag pull-down test combined with LC- MS/MS technique. The interaction between PRDX3 and PRDX1（peroxiredoxin 1）was preliminarily explored.【Results】The western blot results showed that PRDX3 were down- regulated in 14 out of 16 ccRCC tissue samples about 1.78 times. Stable PRDX3 overexpression and knockdown cell lines and those control group were successfully established［786O- PRDX3（+）and 786O- PRDX3（-），786O- PRDX3 KN and 786O- PRDX3 NCi］. PRDX3 expression in 786O- PRDX3（+）was 2.1 times higher than 786O- PRDX3（-）at mRNA level and 1.8 times at protein level. PRDX3 expression in 786O- PRDX3 KN was 0.48 times lower than 786O-PRDX3 NCi at mRNA level and 0.51 times at protein level. The cell growth rate of 786O-PRDX3 （+）cell lines was significantly lower than that of 786O-PRDX3（-）. Meanwhile ，there was no significant difference in 786O-PRDX3 KN and NCi cell lines. Pull-down results shows that PRDX3 may interact with PRDX1 through disulfide bond and the binding sites of those two proteins were identified respectively.【Conclusion】PRDX3 was down- regulated expression in renal clear cell carcinoma and the interaction with PRDX1 may be involved in the occurrence and development of tumor. Increasing the expression level of PRDX3 can significantly reduce the growth rate of tumor cells. Based on PRDX3 ，it is possible to develop targeted drugs for treating renal clear cell carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the monitoring system for global short drugs,and provide evidence-based reference and policy recommendations for developing the short drug monitoring in China. METHODS:Relevant literatures pub-lished in PubMed,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP database from building to Apr. 3rd in 2017 were retrieved by using"Drugs (cheap drugs,essential medicines,emergency drugs) storage""Short drugs""Insufficient supply of drugs""Drug shortage"as Chinese keywords,and"Drug storage""Out-of-stock drug""Stortage of medicine""Stock out of medicine"as English keywords. Literatures about monitoring system for short drugs in Baidu,Google and national or regional health administration websites were collected,and general information,data collection,data validation,data reporting method,feedback and improvement measures of monitoring system were extracted. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Totally 25 literatures were included,20 national or regional health administration websites were retrieved. 11 countries and European Union had established monitoring system for short drugs. The main reporting agencies in each country were different,which were production enterprises,business enterprises and medical in-stitutions. It was mainly reported by network. Data validation was mainly conducted by specialized departments or groups for short drugs in each country. The monitoring reporting included information of short drugs and discontinued drugs. Countermeasures in each country mainly included looking for alternative drugs,encouraging production,temporary import,looking for new or other sources of raw materials and speeding up the approval of short drugs. Besides, precautions included implementation relevant laws and guidelines for short drugs,and increasing the cooper-ation with non-government departments,etc. Monitoring sys-tem for short drugs needs to be further improved in China. Itis suggested to establish monitoring and early warning platform for short drugs,and hierarchical intervention mechanism,improv-ing relevant laws and developing guidelines on managing short drugs.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of intracranial embryonal tumors in children. Methods: Clinical data of 27 patients with intracranial embryonal tumors who were admitted to Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University be-tween May 2011 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The study included 27 patients, comprising 17 male and 10 female children, with a median age of 7 years. Twelve patients underwent gross total resection, and 15 patients underwent subto-tal resection. After surgery, all 27 patients underwent craniospinal irradiation. The dose of craniospinal irradiation was 27-30.6 Gy, and the dose of the tumor bed was 55.8-60 Gy. Twenty-two patients underwent chemotherapy regimen composed of irinotecan, vtncris-tine, etoposide, nedaplatin after radiotherapy. The median follow-up period was 22 (4-93) months. Nine patients are alive without lo-cal or distant recurrence. Eighteen patients died; the causes of death were intracranial recurrence and spinal cord metastasis. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 79.4%, 50.2%, and 36.5%, respectively. Conclusions: Intracranial embryonal tumors in children are rare and malignant and can metastasize along the neuroaxis. Surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are important for pa-tients with intracranial embryonal tumors. Moreover, the prognosis is poor.

Objective: To study the use of a three dimensional (3D) visualization operative planning system in Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (US-PMWA) for large hepatic hemangiomas (LHHs). Methods: A total of 50 patients with LHHs from January 2011 to August 2018 were included in Department of Interventional Ultrasound, the First Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital, including 12 males and 38 females (age from 28.0~60.0, mean age was 43.0). Fifty patients with LHHs were divided into the 3D and 2D groups (25 cases in each group). The therapeutic efficacy was assessed by contrast-enhanced imagings on follow-up. Hepatic and renal functions were studied. The complete ablation, tumor volume shrinkage and complication rates were analyzed. Results: The levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and creatinine after ablation in the 3D group were significantly lower than the 2D group [(126.7±56.4)U/L vs. (204.7±76.5)U/L; (141.0±60.8)U/L vs. (206.6±77.4)U/L; (57.3±17.6)U/L vs. (86.2±46.1)U/L; (66.6±16.6)mmol/L vs. (86.8±42.8)mmol/L, P<0.05, respectively]. Compared with the 2D group, the ablation energy, ablation time and proportion of hemoglobinuria in the 3D group were all significantly less, while the complete ablation rate was significantly higher [(93.7±3.3)% vs. (97.7±2.4)%](all P<0.05). Conclusion The 3D visualization operative planning system provided a scientific, quantifiable, and individualized therapy for LHHs using US-PMWA.
