1.The 4Rs in radiation therapy
Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2019;39(8):572-580
It has been realized that the 4Rs (repair,repopulation,redistribution,and reoxygenation) would affect the result of cell irradiation,and thus radiation treatment.The 4Rs each occurs at different dose rates,usually very low dose rates.Depending on the dose rate used for treatment,the corresponding R should be included in the linear-quadratic equation (LQ) and biological effective dose (BED) calculation.For low dose rate brachytherapy(LDR) especially permanent implant,all the 4Rs should be included in LQ for BED calculation.The 4Rs,especially repair and repopulation,play a critical role in dose fractionation.Various dose fractionation schemes such as hyperfractionation and hypofractionation are determined in consideration of the 4Rs.Stereotactic radiation therapy uses hypofractionation with high fractional doses and combine with high accuracy target localization techniques to achieve high local control rates compared to conventional dose fractionation schemes.The 4Rs have been taken into account for LDR and permanent implant.Recently,LQ for permanent implant brachytherapy has been modified to include all the 4Rs for gynecological malignancy 131Cs permanent implants.Including the 4Rs in radiation therapy has significantly improved the effectiveness and efficiency of radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
2.Analysis of prognostic factors of 324 patients with multiple traumas
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2008;17(11):1195-1197
Objective To explore the effective prognostic factors of patients with multiple traumas. Method During January 2003 to March 2007, totally 324 patients with multiple traumas were treated in the emergency department of Renmin Hospital, Wuhan University. The relationship between prognosis and age, visiting time after injury, injury severity score (ISS) ,main wounded part and shock degree was analyzed. The data were tested using ehi-square test and logistic regression method. Results Seventy-eight patients died and 246 patients survived, the total mortality was 24.1%. Statistical differences existed in mortalities of patients with different visiting time (visiting hospital within 1 h,16.7%; visiting hospital beyond 1h, 37.4%),ISS (16≤ISS≤24, 5.7%; 25≤ISS≤40, 19.2%; IS8>40, 41.3%) and shock degree (non-shock, 11.8%; mild shock, 13.6%; moderate shock,27.7%; severe shock,46.9% ) ( P<0.01). There were no significant difference in mortalities among patients with different age (<18, 23.8% ; 18~38, 21.7% ; 38~58, 24.2% ;>58, 32.5% ) and with various main wounded part (head, 26.0%; neck, 25.3%; chest, 27.3%; abdomen, 24.1%; limbs, spine and pelvis,16.3%), P>0.05. Logistic regression study showed that mortality increased with postponed visiting time after injury, augment of ISS and aggravation of shock degree, with the exception that there was no differenoe in mortality of patients with between non-shock and mild shock. Conclusions Visiting time after injury, ISS and shock degree were valuable progrostic predictors for multiple traumas. It's vital to follow principle of damage controlled surgery and emphasis on the timeliness and integrity of medical rescue and control shock actively to reduce mortality of patients with multiple injuries.

Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2012;18(1):72-75
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)is a new technology of focal therapy for patients with hepatic carcinoma.Comparing with operation and other focal therapeutic methods (such as radiofrequency and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization) of liver cancer,HIFU is non-invasive,accurate,and definite in killing the tumor tissue with fewer complications.Thus,it is widely accepted in clinical settings and has a promising prospect.In this article,we review the mechanism and present situation of hepatic carcinoma therapy with HIFU and dicuss some clinical application and development in the future.
4.Clinical value of tumor biomarkers in ascitic fluid and serum in differentiating benign from malignant ascites and their correlation
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2010;09(9):607-610
Objective To evaluate clinical value of tumor biomarkers in ascitic fluid and serum in differentiating benign from malignant ascites and their correlation. Methods From July 2006 to July 2009,67 patients with ascites undergone abdominal paracentesis in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled in the study and divided into malignant and benign groups according to their etiology. Levels of tumor biomarkers in ascitic fluid and serum were determined and their correlation were analyzed. Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of tumor markers were evaluated. Results There was statistically significant difference in levels of cancer antigen 199 (CA199) in serum and ascitic fluid between the malignant group and the benign one ( P < 0. 01 ), and level of cancer embryonic antigen (CEA) significantly increased in ascitic fluid (P < 0.05 ). Levels of CA199 and CEA in serum were significantly higher than those in ascetic fluid in the benign group (P < 0. 01 and P < 0. 05 ), and level of CA125 was significantly lower in serum than that in ascitic fluid (P < 0. 01 ). Level of alpha-fetal protein (AFP) in serum significantly correlated with that in ascitic fluid in the benign group (r =-0. 992, P <0. 01 ). In the malignant group, levels of CA199, CEA and CA125 were significantly higher in ascitic fluid than those in serum (P <0.05 or P <0. 01 ). Levels of CA199 and CEA in serum significantly correlated with those in ascetic fluid in the malignant group (r =0. 746 and 0. 572, respectively, P <0. 01 ), and level of AFP in serum also correlated with that in ascetic fluid (r=0. 384, P <0. 05). Ratios of levels of CA199 and CEA in ascetic fluid to those in serum (F/S) were significantly higher in the malignant group than those in the benign group (P <0.05 or P <0.01). Use of combination of CA199, CEA and CA125 determinations showed a higher sensitivity and specificity in differential diagnosis for benign and malignant ascites (P <0.05). Conclusions Determinations of CA199 and CEA are beneficial for differentiating benign ascites from malignant one. Determinations of tumor biomarkers in serum can not fully replace those in ascetic fluid. Combined determinations of CA199, CEA and CA125 can increase their sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis for malignant ascites.
5.Evaluating the Compensation Level of Urban Basic Medical Insurance in Jiangsu
Chinese Health Economics 2013;(12):30-32
Objective: To evaluate the compensation level of the Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance ( UEBMI ) and Urban Resident Basic Medical Insurance ( URBMI ) in Jiangsu province . Methods: Take catastrophic health expense as the bottom line of compensation ratio for the basic medical insurance, the benefit of hospitalization expenses of those joining the insurance as the actual line of compensation ratio, and quartile division was used to comparatively analyze the differences between the bottom line of compensation ratio and the actual line of compensation ratio. Results: Take 10%as the critical value of catastrophic health expense, the actual line of compensation level is higher than the bottom line of compensation level in UEBMI, and there is reverse in URBMI. Conclusion: In some extent, the compensation level of UEBMI has relieved the economic burden of the poor jointed group because of sickness, while limited compensation level of UEBMI is in need of further improvement.

Journal of Practical Radiology 1992;0(11):-
Objective To study the MRI manifestations of hemangioblastomas.Methods MRI data of 27 cases of hemangioblastomasproved by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results Hemangioblastomas were often located in hemispherium of cerebellum.All cases could be divided into three types : cyst-nodule type cyst-solid type and purely solid mass type.The large cyst and small nodule sign were characteristic manifestations of the cyst-nodule type,the signals of the fluid of the cyst were higher than that ofcerebrospinal fluid on MRI.The nodules or solid potions of the mass were showed as equal or slight long T_1 and slight long T_2 signalintensity,and were obviously enhanced.The blood vessel flow-void-sign around and inside the solid parts of the masses could be seen,and had a close relation with surrounding meninges.Conclusion MRI is a effective method in diagnosing hemangioblastomas,but the atypical cases should be differentiated from cystic astrocytoma,meningioma and metastesis.
