Objective To compare the treatment effects,dosimetry,and toxicities to organs at risk of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and 3-dimentional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) plans for cervical carcinoma patients with recurrence and metastasis. Methods 62 cervical carcinoma patients with recurrence and metastasis were analyzed retrospectively, and divided into two groups including intensitymodulated radiation therapy group (n=29) and 3-dimentional conformal radiotherapy group (n=32).Patients were performed with 6 MV-X ray.The regimen was 1.8-2.2 Gy/f,1 f/d,18-33 times in total.Prescribed dose was 40-60 Gy and median dose was 52.8 Gy. At the same time for the IMRT group 29 cases were performed with 3DCRT, which was designed using the same prescribed dose to compare radiation dose distributed in organs at risk (OAR).Results The maximum dose of the two plans showed that bladder and small intestine in IMRT plans were lower than that in 3DCRT (P＜0.05), showing the IMRT's protective advantage. The maximum dose of PTV in IMRT plans were significantly higher than 3DCRT (P＜0.05). In the group of IMRT plans, the overall 1-,2-,and 3-year survival rates were 65.5 ％(19/29), 42.1％(8/19), and 25.0 ％(2/8),respectively,the median survival time was 19 months,of 28 deaths,21 patients died of tumor progression,7 patients died of distant metastases.In the group of 3DCRT plans,the overall 1-,2-,and 3-year survival rates were 60.6 ％(20/33),35.0 ％(7/20),and 14.3 ％(1/7),respectively,the median survival time was 17 months,of 32 deaths, 24 patients died of tumor progression, 8 patients died of distant metastasis. There were no significant differences in overall 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates between the two groups (P＞0.05). The incidence rate of toxicity in the IMRT plans was significantly lower than that in the 3DCRT plans, especially for patients with Ⅰ level and Ⅱ level.Conclusion The treatment effects of the IMRT plans are better than the 3DCRT plans for cervical carcinoma patients with recurrence and metastasis. IMRT plans can improve radiation dose in tumors and reduce the dose distributed in normal issue and reduce the incidence of the side effect.

Objective To determine the impact of fluorine and aluminum,and both action combined on the number of rat osteoclasts and bone resorption cultured in vitro and to explore its mechanisms.Methods The osteoclasts and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) isolated from long bone of new born rats were cultured,respectively,in TC199 medium (containing 10％ fetal bovine serum) with fluoride,aluminum and fluoride combined with aluminum.The osteoclasts were inoculated in 96-well culture plate and ivory slice,BMSCs in 6-well culture plate,and culture medium was changed after 2 hours incubation.The cells were divided into control group,fluoride group,aluminum group and fluoride combined with aluminum group; the doses of sodium fluoride were 0,1.0 × 10-4,0,1.0 × 10-4 mol/L and the doses of aluminum chloride were 0,0,1.0 × 10-5,1.0 × 10-5 mol/L,respectively.Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining positive cells were counted under light microscope after TRAP staining on the 5th day and the pit formed in ivory slices were measured by histomorphometry after staining with toludine blue.The expression of osteoprotegerin(OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR in BMSCs after 8 h treatment.Results ① Fluoride,aluminum and the interactive effects of fluoride and aluminum all had impact on the numbers of osteoclasts (F =7.15,6.56 and 7.98,respectively,all P ＜ 0.05).The numbers of osteoclasts in fluoride group,aluminum group and fluoride combined with aluminum group[(136.9 ± 22.99),(135.4 ± 23.5),(163.0 ± 24.4) per well] were higher than that in the control group[(92.5 ± 22.1) per well,all P ＜ 0.05].② Fluoride,aluminum and the interactive effects of fluoride and aluminum all had impact on the resorption pit area on ivory slices(F =10.47,12.64,14.29,respectively,all P ＜ 0.05).The resorption pit area on ivory slices in fluoride group,aluminum group and fluoride combined with aluminum group[(0.242 ± 0.031),(0.293 ± 0.026),(0.333 ± 0.016)mm2 per slice] was higher than that in the control group [(0.088 ± 0.030)mm2 per slice,all P ＜ 0.05].③Fluoride,aluminum and the interactive effects of fluoride and aluminum all had impact on the expression ratios of RANKL/OPG in BMSCs (F =8.15,15.38,23.59,respectively,all P ＜ 0.05).The expression ratios of RANKL/OPG in BMSCs in fluoride group,aluminum group and fluoride combined with aluminum group [(193.98 ± 137.93)％,(326.11 ± 176.78)％,(599.84 ± 275.82)％] were higher than that in the control group[(100.00 ± 56.02)％,all P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions Both fluoride and aluminum can cause increase in the number of osteoclasts in vitro and promote cell differentiation and bone resorption activity,which may be related to increased expression ratio of RANKL/OPG mRNA in BMSCs.The stimulating effects of fluoride on osteoclasts differentiation and bone resorption is enhanced by aluminum.

Objective To determine the effects of fluoride on osteoclasts's quantity and bone resorption function in vitro and its mechanisms. Methods The osteoclasts and bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs) isolated from long bone of new born rats were cultured respectively in TC199 medium (containing 10% fetal bovine serum) with fluoride. The osteoclasts were inoculated in 96-well culture plate and ivory slice, BMSCs were inoculated in 6- well culture plate, respectively, medium were changed after 2 hours incubation. They were divided into control group, low-dose fluoride, medium-dose fluoride and high-dose fluoride groups, the doses of sodium fluoride were 0,2.5 × 10-5,5.0 × 10-5,10.0 × 10-5 mol/L, respectively. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP) staining positive cells were counted under light microscope after TRAP staining on the 2nd and the 5th day and the pit formed in ivory slices were measured by histomorphometry after staining with toludine blue. The expression of receptor activator of NK-κβ ligand(RANKL) and osteoprotegerin(OPC) was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative (337.5 ± 70.5), (447.5 ± 43.4), (472.9 ± 34.8), (475.3 ± 24.3)/well in the control group, the low-dose, mediumdose and high-dose fluoride groups, respectively. The differences were statistically significant between these groups and the control group (all P < 0.05). After in vitro culture for 5 days, the numbers of osteoclasts were (92.5 ± 22.1), (123.0 ± 26.4), (135.5 ± 22.2), (136.9 ± 23.0) per well in the control group, the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose fluoride groups, respectively. The differences were statistically significant between these groups and the (0.088 ± 0.030), (0.100 ± 0.018), (0.152 ± 0.015), (0.242 ± 0.031 )mm2 per piece in the control group, the lowdose, medium-dose and high-dose fluoride groups, respectively. The values of medium-dose and high-dose fluoride BMSCs in the control group, the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose fluoride groups were 100.00 ± 56.02, 144.95 ± 97.21,223.25 ± 184.48,193.98 ± 137.93, respectively. The values of medium-dose and high-dose fluoride groups were significantly higher than that of control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Fluoride can cause increase in the number of osteoclasts in vitro and promote their cell differentiation and bone resorption activity, which may be related to increased expression ratio of RANKL/OPG mRNA in BMSCs.

Objective To investigate the effects of changes of miR-126 and spouty related EVH,domain containing proteinl(SPRED1) after transient ischemic attack(TIA)on prognostic value for pathogenesis of secondary cerebral infarction.Methods Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 106 patients with TIA was performed.The expression levels of miR-126,SPRED1 and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in peripheral blood were detected at 3 h,6 h and 12 h after TIA onset respectively.The specificity and sensitivity of miR 126 and SPRED1 in the diagnosis of TIA were analyzed.The miR-126 and SPRED1 levels versus ABCD2 score were compared for evaluating their predictive value in the diagnosis of secondary cerebral infarction within 30 days after TIA onset.Results The miR-126 level was declined after TIA onset at 3 h(9.41±1.04),especially at 12 h(6.59 ±2.78),versus in healthy control (9.35±1.76)(t =-7.764,P=0.000).The SPRED1 level after TIA onset was increased at 3 h(58.05 ± 17.53)pg/L,12 h(82.64 ± 18.60)pg/L versus in healthy control(52.38 ± 13.24)pg/L(t=12.374,P =0.000).A closely negative correlation was found between levels of miR 126 and SPRED1 at 12 h point but not at 3 h and 6 h(r=-0.278,P=0.004).Both miR-126 and SPRED1 levels at 12 h after TIA were implied to sensitivity and specificity evaluation.Additionally,VEGF was significantly increased at 3 h (345.61 ± 76.76) pg/L,6 h (461.65 ±103.87)pg/L and 12 h (519.22 ± 103.55)pg/L after TIA onset as compared with healthy control (107.77± 26.04) pg/L(t =26.569,29.756,34.699,all P =0.000).The decrease of miR-126 and increase of SPRED1 at 12h after TIA indicated high incidences of cerebral infarction but their significance was less than ABCD2 score.Combination of miR 126,SPRED1 and ABCD2 score significantly improved the prediction for cerebral infarction(Z=2.105,P =0.035).Conclusions After the onset of TIA,levels of miR-126 and SPRED1 expression in combination of ABCD2 score can improve predictive value for cerebral infarction development.

Objective To study the expression and change of neuropeptide substance P (SP) during the wound healing of deep partial thickness scalding in diabetic rats. Methods Eighty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into diabetes mellitus group (n=42) and control group (n=42). Diabetic rat models were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) in diabetes mellitus group, and those in control group were intraperitoneally injected with aseptic citrate buffer solution. Deep partial thickness scalding with diameter of 2 cm on the back were prepared in all the rats. The pre-scalding and post-scalding wound specimens of different time points were obtained, and the percentages of wound closure were calculated. The wound specimens were also obtained for immunohistological staining to compare the areas with positive staining of SP, and ELISA was employed to detect the expression of SP in the wound tissues. Results The percentage of wound closure was significantly lower in diabetes mellitus group than that in control group from 7 days post-scalding (P< 0.01). The areas with positive staining of SP in diabetes mellitus group were much smaller than those in control group at different time points, which was most significant on the seventh day post-scalding[(1 350.93±99.28) μm2 vs(1 715.86± 103.41) μm2](P < 0.01). The expression of SP in the wound tissues was significantly lower in diabetes mellitus group than that in control group at different time points, which was most significant on the seventh day post-scalding[(114.04±9.96) vs(143.39±8.94)](P<0.01). Conclusion The significantly lower expression of SP in wound site may be one of the causes of delayed wound healing in diabetic rats.
