Objective By analysis oflateralepicondylitis patients MRI features to explore the lateralepicondylitis namedrationality and authorized its opinions for the ninth edition surgery textbook. Methods Cochrane's systematic review methods were used to retrieve the literature about lateralepi-condylitis patients MRI features fromCochrane Library, Medline, OVID, EMBASE, Chinese biomedical literature database (CBM), VIP, CNKI, Wan fang digital journals, and totally 31 articles were reviewed. 13 articles met the inclusion criteria for the lateral epicondyle of humerus elbow in patients with MRI findings. In accordance with the case-control data RevMan 5.0 software was used for Meta analysis withodds ratio (OR) as count data statistics. Interval estimation wasmade of 95% confidence interval (CI). When the datacannot be performed Meta analysis, only qualitative analysis was made. Results 13 studies met the inclusion criteria, including 315 ipsilateralelbows (5 patients with bilateral disease, 305 patients with unilateral disease) and 169 asymptomatic side of the elbow (98 cases of patients with the contralateral elbow, 71 cases of healthy volunteers). The results of Meta analysis suggested that pa-tients and healthy volunteers of elbow MRI showed statistically significance [OR=88.55, 95%CI=(29.20, 268.57)]. Between ipsilateral elbow and contra lateral of elbow MRI showed statistically significance [OR=80.17, 95%CI=(21.53, 298.59)]. MRI analysis showed that in addition to signs of extensor tendon injury, the elbow was also widely associated with other changes, such as radial collateral ligament in-jury, bone marrow edema, joint effusion, tendon tear, and elbows muscle edema. Conclusion Through MRI findings,the maln pathological changes of the so-called lateralepicondyliti-saremalnly for total ex-tensor tendon and adjacent tissue of chronic injury, Naming the current external humeral epicondylitis is unreasonable. Therefore, periarthritis of lateral epicondyle of humerus seems to be the best appropri-ate term to be usedwhenthe ninth edition surgery textbooksisauthorized.

Objective To explore the efficacy and security of helical tomotherapy (radical radiotherapy) combined with targeted therapy for stage Ⅳ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The data of 19 patients with stage Ⅳ NSCLC were retrospectively analyzed.The efficacy and security were observed by SPSS 20.0 statistical software.Results Among 19 patients, there were 6 cases complete remission (CR), 8 cases partial remission (PR), 4 cases stable disease (SD), 2 cases progressive disease (PD).The response (CR+PR) rate was 73.7 % (14/19).The 1-and 2-year local control rates were 73.7 %, 47.4 %,respectively.The 1-year progression-free survival rate was 31.6 %.The median survival time was 13 months, and the 1-and 2-year overall survival rates were 52.6 %, 26.3 %, respectively.The median survival time of females, non-smokers or targeted therapy synchronous radiotherapy was longer than that of male, smokers or targeted therapy sequential radiotherapy, respectively (21 months vs 8 months, P =0.014;21 months vs 6 months, P =0.007;18 months vs 6 months, P =0.026).There were no significant differences of age, number of metastatical organs or targeted drug categories between two groups (P > 0.05).All patients could tolerate the adverse reactions without treatment-related death.Conclusion The effect of helical tomotherapy combined with targeted therapy for stage Ⅳ NSCLC is desirable.

Objective To compare the tumor sizes of primary lesions in pancreatic cancer based on CT scan and postoperative pathological analysis and measure the extent of filtration under a microscope,and to determine the CTV in radiotherapy target delineation.Methods A total of 19 patients with pancreatic cancer who were admitted to PLA General Hospital and Air Force General Hospital,PLA from 2013 to 2014 were analyzed.In 15 patients,the maximum diameters of tumor cross-section were measured based on the images of preoperative multi-slice spiral CT and postoperative gross samples,respectively.In 19 patients,the extent of tumor infiltration was measured on pathological sections under a microscope and the actual extent of infiltration was calculated.The paired t-test was applied to analyze the differences in the results of different measurement methods.Results In the 15 patients,the maximum tumor diameters measured with gross samples and CT scan were 33.6 mm and 30.1 mm,respectively (P=0.000),and the median and mean of the differences were 3.1 mm (1.2-8.0 mm) and 3.6±2.0 mm,respectively (95% CI 1.2-6.0).In the 19 patients,the maximum actual infiltration distance and the maximum distance measured were 3.50 mm and 3.19 mm,respectively (P=0.000),and the median and mean of the differences were 0.31 mm (0.15-0.50 mm) and 0.30±0.09 mm,respectively.The maximum distance between the margin of primary lesions and the infiltrating lesions was 5.21 mm,with a median of 3.34 mm (2.19-5.21 mm) and a mean of 3.50± 0.88 mm (95% CI 2.19-5.06).Conclusions Contrast-enhanced CT scan underestimates the actual size of primary lesions in pancreatic cancer,and an extension of 5 mm outside gross tumor volume (GTV) as CTV may not be sufficient.It is recommended to extend another 1-3 mm outside GTV as CTV.

Objective To explore the curative effect and adverse reaction of applying stereotactic radiotherapy to primary lesion inside chest cavity of patients with oligometastasis non-small cell lung cancer and rendering radical radiotherapy to all metastases. Methods 43 patients with≤5 metastases of non-small cell lung cancer received initial treatment during 2009-2015 in our department were analyzed;the stereotactic radiotherapy was adopted to implement radical radiotherapy on primary lesion and all metastases. The average and neutral position BED10 respectively were 101416 Gy and 102700 Gy,the number of neutral position chemotherapy period was 4. Kaplan-Meier method, survival analysis, Cox model, multi factor Prognosis analysis were used. Results By the end of January 10,2017 in 36 months' neutral position follow-up visit, the total effective rate of lesion treatment of 86%;the survival rates after 1,2 and 3 years respectively were 74%, 70% and 51%. Neutral survival time was 48 months, and the progression-free time of neutral position was 15 months. Multi-factor analysis indicated that,ECOG<2 and ECOG≥2(P=0000),BED10<100 Gy and BED10≥100 Gy ( P=0006) generated obvious influence on survival prognosis. About 90% of the patients only got 1-2 degree of adverse reaction without emerging treatment related death. Conclusions On the premise of systematic therapy of oligometastasis non-small cell lung cancer, combined with radical radiotherapy of primary lesion and metastasis can obviously improve patients ' overall survival and progression-free survival,the adverse reaction is durable.

Objective To investigate the acute adverse reactions of craniospinal irradiation with helical tomotherapy in medulloblastoma patients and its risk factors. Methods A total of 20 patients with medulloblastoma who received craniospinal irradiation with helical tomotherapy between October 2012 and September 2016 in Air Force General Hospital were selected. The acute adverse events of 20 patients during the treatment were record. According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.0, the adverse reactions were divided into the mild group (grade 0-Ⅱ) and severe group (grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ) adverse reactions. And the risk factors were also analyzed. Results The non-hematological adverse reactions included fatigue (55%), vomiting (45%) and headache (25%). The hematological adverse reactions included leukopenia (95%), thrombocytopenia (55%) and lower hemoglobin (45%), and the incidence of severe adverse reactions was 35% (7/20), 20% (4/20) and 0 ( 0/20 ) , respectively . Leukopenia occurred in 18 patients ( 90%) at the beginning of radiotherapy within 2 weeks, and thrombocytopenia occurred in 8 patients (40%) at the beginning of radiotherapy after 2 weeks. Single factor analysis showed that there were no statistical differences in hematological adverse events of gender, age and radiation dose of spinal cord (all P>0.05). The incidence of leukopenia for the patients who received the chemotherapy before the radiotherapy was higher than that for the patients without the chemotherapy before the radiotherapy (P< 0.05). Conclusions The hematological adverse reactions were the major acute adverse events during the craniospinal irradiation with helical tomotherapy in patients with medulloblastoma. Theincidence of leukopenia and thrombocytopenia is common, and the incidence of hematological adverse reactions is higher after the chemotherapy. Thus, the close monitoring of hemogram change and treatment of hematological adverse reactions in time during the radiotherapy should be taken into the consideration.
