Chinese Journal of Medical Physics 2001;18(1):51-53
The study was based on the maths model of waves which were reflected by a reflecting ellipsoid and whose distributing of energy in the ellipsoid. We developed an equipment by ellipsoidal focus to substitute for energy based on the research. The equipment has the characteristics of revolving therapy as the X-knife and the γ-knife which can be used in 3D therapy. We call the system ″Ultrasonic-knife″ which were used in 3D hyperthermia. The equipment simulates an source of energy by the ellipsoidal focus. The source can be put in the tumor in deep organ. It also avoids some shortcomings, just as heat is in limit area and temperature is too high in the focus. We could do an ideal conformal therapy by a reasonable treatment planning.

The Au-PDA-Fe3O4 decorated graphene oxide electrode was modified with Prussion blue-secondary antibodies for determination of cancer biomarker α-fetoprotein (AFP) with great sensitivity.Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometry were used to characterize the structure of the material.Greatly enhanced sensitivity for the cancer biomarker is based on a dual signal amplification strategy.First, Fe3O4-PDA-Au used for the biosensor platform increased the surface area to capture a large amount of primary antibodies (Ab1), which resulted in amplification of the detection response.Second, graphene oxide allowed several binding events of PB-Ab2.Enhanced sensitivity was also achieved by introducing the multibioconjugates of Ab2-PB-GO onto the electrode surface through sandwich immunoreactions.The test result shows that there are linear relationships between current and AFP concentrations ranging from 0.005 ng/mL to 1 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL to 20 ng/mL, with the low detection limit (LOD) of 1.0 pg/mL.This immunosensor is simple, low-cost and sensitive and shows a great potential in biomedicine, clinical diagnosis and health examination.

Objective To investigate the harmless biochemical indicators for early screening of populations at high risk of suicide .Methods Seven hundred and twenty-seven new recruits were investigated according to self-rating idea of suicide scale (SIOSS) in the first month of recruitment in 2014.Twenty-five recruits (originally 27 recruits, but 2 recruits were absent from biochemical tests ) whose SIOSS scores were less than 12 were recognized as the suicidal ideation group. Another 25 recruits whose SIOSS scores were more than 12 were randomly selected as the control group .Saliva samples of the 50 recruits were collected for biochemical analysis after one month and three months of training , respectively .After three months of training , the SIOSS was also used for evaluation of suicidal ideation .Results After one-month training , the concentrations of Ca , Mg, amylase ( Amy ) and salivary acid ( SA ) in saliva were demonstrated to be statistically different between the suicidal ideation group and the control group ( P <0.05 ), but there was no significant linear correlation between these indicators and the SIOSS (P>0.05).After three-month training, the concentrations of Ca, Mg, Amy and SA in saliva between the two groups showed no significant difference (P>0.05).Conclusion After the first month training , changes in the biochemical compositions were found in the saliva of the screened recruits with suicidal ideation, which may be associated with the stress response of the body .The biochemical indicators in saliva lack specificity for suicidal ideation .

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of 177Lu-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-I&T on prostate cancer. Methods:The culture medium of 1.85, 18.50, 185.00, 555.00 and 925.00 MBq/L 177Lu-PSMA-I&T was added into LNCaP cells (200 μl/well, 5 experimental groups and 1 control group, 3 replicates in each group) for 24 h, and the cell viability in each group was detected. The culture medium of 3.7 MBq 177Lu-PSMA-I&T was added into LNCaP cells (1 experimental group, 1 control group, 3 replicates in each group) for 48 h to detect the changes of cell cycle. LNCaP cells (3 experimental groups and 1 control group, 3 replicates in each group) were added into the culture medium of 3.7, 19.5 and 37.0 MBq 177Lu-PSMA-I&T for 48 h to detect cell apoptosis. Tumor-bearing mice models were established (BALB/c-nu/nu nude mice, n=32). The changes of tumor volume and body mass of tumor-bearing mice were observed within 20 d after treatment. On the 7th day after treatment, tumor tissues of tumor-bearing mice were stained with HE staining and fluorescently stained with Ki-67 protein, and apoptosis was detected by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. On the 20th day after treatment, pathological analysis was performed on the main viscera of the tumor-bearing mice. One-way analysis of variance, the least significant difference t test and paired t test were used to analyze the data. Results:Compared with the control group ((100.00±12.35)%), the cell survival rates were significantly decreased after 177Lu-PSMA-I&T intervention in 185.00, 555.00, 925.00 MBq/L groups ((57.56±6.35)%, (38.65±3.39)%, (27.95±4.48)%; F=78.91, t values: 8.312-14.106, all P<0.01). Cell survival rates were significantly reduced in 185.00 MBq/L group at different time points (24, 48 and 72 h; F=78.28, t values: 6.628-14.384, all P<0.01). The proportion of LNCaP cells in G2/M phase was increased from (12.36±0.28)% to (19.92±0.48)% ( t=17.180, P<0.01). The apoptosis rates of cells were significantly increased in 18.5 and 37.0 MBq groups ( F=71.86, t values: -6.138, -13.050, both P<0.05). The difference of relative tumor volume (RTV%) was statistically significant among 3.7, 14.8 and 29.6 MBq groups and control group (136.7±7.4, 59.2±23.8, 47.3±13.8 vs 240.3±3.7; F=78.20, t values: 7.549-13.345, all P<0.01). But there was no significant difference in body mass of tumor-bearing mice among groups. Compared with the control group, the positive rates of Ki-67 staining cells ((37.23±3.04)% vs (14.89±3.80)%, (5.60±1.83)%, (3.46±0.71)%) and TUNEL-fluorescein isothiocyanate (TUNEL-FITC) staining ((0.74±0.18)% vs (1.61±0.30)%, (3.19±0.44)%, (3.54±0.47)%) in tumor tissues of 3.7, 14.8 and 29.6 MBq groups were statistically significant ( F=103.91, t values: 10.429-15.762; F=38.66, t values: from -9.312 to -2.881, all P<0.01). Conclusions:177Lu-PSMA-I&T has a good therapeutic effect on prostate cancer, with no obvious therapeutic side effects. Therefore, 177Lu-PSMA-I&T is expected to be an ideal drug for treating prostate cancer.

A method for simultaneous determination of PCDDs, dl-PCBs, BFRs and PBDD/Fs in flue gas from stationary source was developed. The sample was extracted by Soxhlet apparatus with toluene, and followed by purification through sulfuric acid partition and multi-layer silica gel column separation. The target compounds were then all separated by passing through the active carbon-dispersed silica gel column and reversal eluting. Gas chromatography coupled with a thermostable capillary column ( short length, thin stationary phase film) was operated at pulse injection mode. High resolution mass spectrometry set at low-electron-energy ionization was used for quantification. The high- and low-brominated compounds were determined simultaneously. The detection limits of this method were 0. 081-1. 2 pg for PCDD/Fs, 0. 10-0. 32 pg for dl-PCBs, 0. 14-12 pg for PBDEs, 0. 26-16 pg for new BFRs, 0. 44-3. 6 pg for tetra- to hepta-BDD/Fs and 8. 2-12 pg for OBDD/F. Recoveries ( RSDs) in spiked flue gas samples were 88%-115%(2. 9%-6. 1%) for PCDD/Fs, 84%-118% (3. 2%-10%) for dl-PCBs, 71%-135% (2. 1%-18%) for PBDEs, 71%-114% (2. 9%-7. 4%) for new BFRs, 83%-127% (5. 2%-10%) for tetra-to hepta-BDD/Fs and 52%-149% ( 23%-24%) for OBDD/F. All quality control data fell within the acceptable range specified in analysis standards for flue gas.
