Objective To study the effect of various methods determining lung volume and fraction dose on the lung dose-volume parameters for lung cancer patients. Methods Twenty patients with lung cancer were rantdomly enrolled into our study and the plan of three dimensional eonformal radiation therapy(3DCRT)was designed by Varian Eclipse TPS.The lung volumes and the dose-volume parameters were measured under CT value of-300- -980, -400- -980 and -500- -980.Under CT value of -400- -980,total lung volumes were confirmed.The dose-volume parameters of V30,V20,V10 and mean lung dose(MLD)were reevaluated after GTV,CTV and PTV were subtracted from the total lung volumes and when the fraction dose was elevated from 2.0 Gy to 10.0 Gy. Results When the CT value ranged from-300--980 to-500--980,the median reduction of the total lung volumes(-9.10%)was significantly higher than that of V30,V20,V10 and MLD(-3.18%,-1.13%,0.82%and-0.79%,respectively).When the total lung volume was fixed at CT value of-400--980,the alterations of V30,V20,V10 and MLD became more apparent as the increase of the subtracted lung volume,among which the alteration of V30 was most significant while V10 the least.Among five cases with a fixed total dose of 60 Gy and PTV less than 140 cm3,the V30,V20,V10 and MLD were increased to a similar extent(about 40%)when the fraction dose was increased from 2.0 Gy to 10.0 Gy.MLD was increased(36%)when the fraction dose was above 6.0 Gy. Conclusions When CT value ranges from-300- -980 to-500- -980,the total lung volume is influenced most.The alteration of V30,being statistically significant,might have some significance but is not enough to determine the plan of radiotherapy clinically.The alteration of V20、V10 and MLD is not statistically significant.When the overlapped target volume is subtracted from the total lung volumes,the alteration of V30 is the most sign:tifhcant while V10 the least.The fraction dose,being the most consuming factor(>10%)when comparing with the CT valHe and targeted volume,can significantly influence the dose-volume parameter.

Serum IL-1,IL-6 and IL-8 were determined by subjects-using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA technique) in 40 children with bronchial asthma consisting of 20 cases in the acute stage and 20 cases in the remission stage,and another 20 health children as normal control,respectively.The results showed that the levels of serum IL-1(11.9pg/ml±2.84pg/ml),IL-6(0.75ng/ml±0.3ng/ml)and IL-8(0.08ng/ml±0.05ng/ml)in the acute stage were significantly higher than those in the remission stage(8.41pg/ml±0.05pg/ml(IL-1),0.49ng/ml±0.08ng/ml(IL-6)and 0.02ng/ml±0.01ng/ml(IL-8)) and in the normal children (8.4pg/ml±0.32pg/ml(IL-1),0.4ng/ml±0.09ng/ml(IL-6)and 0.02ng/ml±0.02ng/ml(IL-8)),respectively.Further more,there were a significant positive correlation between IL-1 and IL-6 or IL-8(P<0.01).It is concluded that IL-1 may involve in the pathologic process of asthma like IL-6 and IL-8,and an inflammatory reaction may still exist in the airway during the remission stage of asthma. The imbalances of cytokine network may probably be important reason as a molecular basis in the asthma pathogenesis.It is suggested that it can be valuable to predict an acute attack of asthma when the levels of these cytokines increase.

Objective To observe the safety and effectiveness of high-dose chemotherapy(HDT) supported by autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells transplantation(APBHSCT) in the patients of terminal or relapsed malignant tumors.Methods The patients achieved CR or PR after 4 cycles of conventional salvage chemotherapy were divided into two groups randomly.26 patients in the research group were adapted APBHSC+HDC,50 patients in the control group were adapted 2~4 cycles of routine chemotherapy.Results In the research group,hematopoiesis was reconstructed in all patients,8 out of 17 patients who achieved PR after 4 cycles of conventional salvage chemotherapy turned into CR after APBHSC+HDC(CR rate 47.1%).In the control group,33 patients who achieved PR after 4 cycles of conventional salvage chemotherapy were still PR after 2~4 cycles of routine chemotherapy.The median survival period in the research group was 11 months,which was longer than the one in the control group.The survival rates of 2,3 and 4 years in the research group were evidently higher than the ones in the control group(P

Objective:To investigate the analgesic effect of intravenous anesthesia induction combined with anterior quadratus lumborum block (AQLB)and related hemodynamic changes in patients undergoing laparoscopic retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy (RPN).Methods:A total of 116 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal tumors in Jinhua Central Hospital from August 2021 to February 2022 were randomly divided into two groups with 58 cases in each group. Patients in control group received intravenous anesthesia , while those in study group received intravenous anesthesia induction with AQLB. The analgesic effect was evaluated at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after the operation. The hemodynamics were monitored at the time of entering the operating room (T 0), 3 min after induction of anesthesia (T 1), at the beginning of the operation (T 2), after the operation (T 3), and leaving the operating room (T 4). Microcirculation was assessed at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after operation. Cognitive function was assessed 30min before anesthesia, 6 h, 24 h, and 72 h after operation. Results:At 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after operation, the visual analogue scale (VAS) of the resting (quiet state) pain in the study group were 3.2±1.2, 2.6±0.3,2.0±0.4, 1.5±0.4 and 0.8±0.2, which were significantly lower than those in control group (4.0±1.7, 3.4±0.7, 2.9±0.5, 1.7±0.5 and 1.2±0.3) ( t=2.93, P=0.004; t=8.00, P<0.001; t=10.07, P<0.001; t=2.38, P=0.019; t=8.45, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in heart rate and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at T 0 between two groups ; no significant difference in the heart rate at T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4. There were significant differences in MAP levels at T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4 between study group [(80.0±8.0)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (84.4±8.4)mmHg, (80.4±5.7)mmHg, (86.4±4.7)mmHg and control group (77.1±7.5)mmHg, (88.0±8.6)mmHg, (83.0±7.7)mmHg, (92.2±6.2) mmHg; t=2.01, P=0.046; t=2.28, P=0.024; t=2.07, P=0.041; t=5.68, P<0.001]. At 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after operation, the morphological scores of tube loops in the study group were 1.0±0.2, 0.8±0.2, 0.7±0.1 and 0.7±0.1, which were lower than those in the control group (1.1 ±0.2, 0.9±0.2, 0.8±0.2 and 0.8±0.1; t=2.69, P=0.008; t=2.69, P=0.008; t=3.41, P=0.001; t=5.39 , P < 0.001). The blood flow status scores of the study group were 1.1±0.2, 0.9±0.2, 0.8±0.2 and 0.6±0.1, which were lower than those of the control group (1.2±0.2, 1.0±0.2, 0.9±0.2 and 0.7±0.1; t=2.69, P=0.008; t=2.69, P=0.008; t=2.69, P=0.008; t=5.39, P<0.001). The cognitive function scores of the study group and the control group were 24.4±1.0, 27.1±0.9 and 23.5±0.9, 26.7±0.9 at 6 h and 24 h after operation ( t=5.10, P<0.001; t=2.39, P=0.018); while there were no significant at 72 h after operation between two groups (28.2±0.9 vs. 28.1±0.8, t=0.63, P=0.529). Conclusion:Intravenous anesthesia induction combined with anterior quadratus lumborum block has a good analgesic effect in patients undergoing RPN, with stable hemodynamics and microcirculation, and not affecting cognitive function of patients.
