Objective A comparative study of clinical factors and dose-volume histogram (DVH)parameters on the impact of radiation pneumonitis occurred in the three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy of lung cancer (lung target)and mediastinal tumors and esophageal (mediastinal target).Methods Review 83cases lung cancer,mediastinal tumors and esophageal patients,and analyzed with chi-square tests on the correlation of the clinical factors (gender,age,tumor location,stage,chemotherapy) with radiation pneumonitis;have relevance analysis between the DVH parameters of two targets and radiation pneumonitis; lung target and mediastinal target volume DVH parameters compared to the t-test.Results ≥2 radiation pneumonitis was 36.5 %.≥2 radiation pneumonitis occurred in various clinical factors had no significant effect.DVH parameters of the two targets,V5,V10,V20,V30,whole lung dose (MLD) were significantly related to RP.Two targets of RP patients V5 [(50.9±17.8) %,(69.9±20.4) %],V10 [(38.6±15.2) %,(53.5±18.8) %] were statistically significant by t-test (t =2.434,P < 0.05),while V20 (t =0.388,P > 0.05),V30 (t =0.005,P > 0.05) and MLD (t =0.138,P >0.05) were no significant difference (P > 0.05),so the same results with the two targets of patients without RP obtained.Conclusion In the lung target and mediastinal target of radiotherapy radiation pneumonitis is related with DVH parameters,especially V20,V30 and MLD impact on the occurrence of RP.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical significance of tumor associated macrophages (TAM) in multiple myeloma (MM) and the relationship with angiogenesis and immunosuppression.
Methods:
Seventy cases of MM patients diagnosed from August 2015 to June 2017 were enrolled in the study as experimental group, 20 cases of benign hematological diseases (13 with iron deficiency anemia and 7 with megaloblastic anemia) patients as control group. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of CD163, CD34 and VEGF in bone marrow samples, and flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of regulatory T cell (Treg cells), ELISA was used to detect the level of IL-10, and the clinical features were analyzed.
Results:
①Among the 70 patients, there were 31 males and 39 females with a median age of 65 (50~78) years old. TAM infiltration density, microvascular density (MVD), VEGF expression level, Treg ratio and IL-10 level in bone marrow samples of 70 MM patients were significantly higher than those of benign hematological diseases (

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with abnormal copper metabolism in the brain,which leads to misfolding and aggregation of α-synuclein-copper complexes,which is an important pathological sign of Parkinson's disease.Copper metabolism,i.e.,cellular metabolic processes involving copper ions,is closely related to the pathogenesis of α-synuclein aggregation,dopamine metabolism,mitochondrial dysfunction,oxidative stress,and ferroptosis in Parkinson's disease.In this review,we summarize the molecular metabolic mechanism of copper toxicity by studying the pathological role of copper metabolism in Parkinson's disease,to support our further understanding of the mechanism of action and drug development.
