Objective To simulate and investigate th e electromagnetic field distribution of the insert applicator used in microwave hy perthermia for treating bone tumors. Methods Bone t umor model with layered cylindrical shape was made. The applicator was made from a coaxial cable that peeled off the out copper at the end, which were inserted into the cylindrical bone with different depths. The three dimensions finite ele ment method (FEM) was used to calculate the various parameters of the simulated electromagnetic field. Results The electromagnetic energy could be well transmitted into the tissues when the section of the out co pper cutting was embedded in the tissues. The electromagnetic energy to the tiss ue was enhanced when the tip of the applicator got close to but not penetrated t he tissue. Conclusion The intensity of irradiation t o the target tissue was determined by the dimension and depth of insertion of th e applicator. This is very important for the selection of the type and insertion depth of the applicator when using microwave hyperthermia for treating bone tum or in clinical practice.

Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of delayed radiation-induced brain injury. Methods 21 patients with delayed radiation-induced brain injury were diagnosed by CT, MRI and MRS, and were treated with dehydration, corticosteroid, neuroprective drugs and hyperbaric oxygen or surgery. Results The symptoms of 66.7% patients were obviously improved, 19.0% patients partly recovered and the symptoms of 14.3% patients were not obviously improved. Conclusion The early diagnosis and reasonable treatment could decrease delayed radiation-induced brain injury to minimal extent. The operative treatment should be performed in the patients who had operative indicators. And it was important to prevent the occurrence of delayed radiation-induced brain injury.

Insulinoma is the most common functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.Surgical removal or enucleation is the most commonly used treatment.Insulinomas are usually benign,solitary and small.So they are theoretically the good indication for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment.In 2009,Limmer et al ever reported the first case of insulinoma who were successfully treated by RFA.To date,5 similar articles in English have been published,reporting 7 cases in total.In the recent year,we successfully treated 2 cases with insulinoma (one in pancreatic cauda and the other in pancreatic body).All the 2 cases got complete remission with quick alleviation of clinical symptoms and without conplications.The data of these 9 cases showed that RFA is a safe and effective treatment for insulinoma,and for selected patients,it can be recommended as a treatment of first choice.

Methods The samples were collected and isolated by Waterflotation and Tullgren, then counted and identified the four acaroid mites from 20 different habitats. Results 4 species of acaroid mites had high breeding density in ham, wheat, seed and house dust. The number of the mite increased from Apr. or May, and to the peak during July and Aug. and declined from Sep. or Oct.. Seasonal distribution of the individual acaroid mites might be different. Conclusion 4 species of acaroid mites are widely distributed in Bengbu city with distinctive seasonal distribution.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of treatment of atrophic scars of facial hemangioma after isotopes radiotherapy with micro-plasma.Methods A total of 52 patients with atrophic scars were selected under micro-plasma treatment for 4 times,one time every six weeks.And their efficacies were evaluated by compared with single standard of that before and after the treatment.Results By means of rate of clinical index,the total effective rate of atrophic scars was 82.7％.The degree of improvement was as follows:cured in 53.8％,marked effective in 28.9％,effective in 17.3％ and no case ineffective.The total effective rate of hyperpigmentation was 90.3％,including cured in 59.6％,marked effective in 30.8％,effective in 9.6％ and no ineffective cases.Conclusions Micro-plasma is an effective therapy for atrophic scars of facial hemangioma after isotopes radiotherapy,which can significantly improve the depression degree of scars,eliminate the hyperpigmentation and improve the color of scars,but it only has adverse reactions of wound pain and postoperative wound erythema.
