OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Bromfenac sodium eyed drops in the treatment of xe-rophthalmia. METHODS:80 patients with xerophthalmia were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 40 cases in each group. Control group was given 0.1% Sodium hyaluronate,one drop,qd;observation group was given 0.1% Sodi-um hyaluronate eye drops,one drop,bid. Both groups received 14 d of treatment. The subjective symptom and sign,the time of lacrimal film break-up,fluorescent staining score and schemer test were observed in 2 groups before treatment,3,7,14 d after treatment. Clinical efficacy and the occurrence of ADR were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in subjective symptom and sign,the time of lacrimal film break-up,fluorescent staining score and tear between 2 groups before treatment,3,7 d after treatment(P>0.05). 14 d after treatment,subjective symptom and sign and fluorescent staining score of 2 groups were decreased significantly,and the time of lacrimal film break-up was prolonged and secretion was increased significant-ly;the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The cure rate of observation group was 60.0%,which was significantly higher than that of control group(35.0%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). There were no statistical significance in ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Sodium hyaluronate eye drops is effective for xerophthalmia,and can relieve the symptoms with good safety.

Objective:To analyze the clinically acceptable and reproducible bladder and rectum volumes of prostate cancer patients during radiotherapy under bladder and bowel preparation, aiming to provide quantitative indicators for bowel and bladder preparation before and after radiotherapy.Methods:Clinical data of 275 prostate cancer patients with strict bladder and bowel preparation and completion of whole course radical radiotherapy at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from April 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were scanned with cone beam CT (CBCT) before each treatment and the setup error was recorded. Sixty-six patients were selected by simple random sampling and the bladder and rectum on daily CBCT was outlined using MIM software. The relationship between the ratio of daily bladder or rectum volume to the planned bladder or rectum volume (relative value of volume) and setup error was analyzed. Quantitative data were expressed as mean±SD. Normally distributed data were analyzed by paired t-test while non-normally distributed data were assessed by Kruskal-Wallis test.Results:The bladder and rectum volume on planning CT were (370.87±110.04) ml and (59.94±25.07) ml of 275 patients. The bladder and rectum volumes on planning CT were (357.51±107.38) ml and (65.28±35.37) ml respectively of the 66 selected patients with 1611 sets of CBCT images. And the bladder and rectum volumes on daily CBCT were (258.96±120.23) ml and (59.95 ± 30.40) ml. The bladder volume of patients was decreased by 3.59 ml per day on average during the treatment and 0.37 ml for the rectum volume. According to the bladder volume on planning CT, all patients were divided into three groups: <250 ml, 250-450 ml and >450 ml groups. The relative value of volume in the 250-450 ml group during the course of radiotherapy was the smallest. And the setup error in the superior and inferior (SI) direction was (0.28±0.24) cm and (0.19±0.17) cm in the left and right (LR) direction, significantly lower than those in the other two groups (both P≤0.027). According to the rectum volume on planning CT, all patients were divided into four groups: <50 ml, 50-<80 ml, 80-120 ml and >120 ml groups. The <50 ml group had the smallest relative value of volume during radiotherapy, and the setup error in the SI direction was (0.26±0.22) cm and (0.24±0.22) cm in the anterior and posterior (AP) direction, significantly smaller than those in the other groups (both P≤0.003). The setup errors in the SI, LR, AP directions of the enrolled 66 patients were (0.30±0.25) cm, (0.20±0.18) cm and (0.28±0.27) cm, respectively. Among them, the relative value of bladder volume in the AP direction was (0.73±0.37) in the setup error <0.3 cm group, which was statistically different from those in the setup error 0.3-0.5 cm and >0.5 cm groups (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Under the bladder and bowel preparation before planning CT, the appropriate bladder and rectum volumes are in the range of 250-450 ml and <50 ml, which yields higher reproducibility and smaller setup error.
