Radiotherapy is an effective mean of treatment of gastric cancer. Combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in gastric cancer preoperative, postoperative and palliatie treatments can increase the local control rate and the survival rate of gastric cancer patients. With the development of three-dimensional conformal and intensity modulated radiotherapy, the radiotherapy is being more extensively applied in the comprehensive treatment of gastric cancer.

Objective To compare the dosimetry of three different radiation therapy plans [threedimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT),intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT),intensity modulated arc radiotherapy (IMAT)].Methods Selected 15 cases with middle thoracic esophageal cancer,Varian Eclipse 8.6 planning systems were designed with 3DCRT,IMRT,IMAT,3DCRT using 5-8 coplanar radiation fields,IMRT using 7 coplanar radiation fields,IMAT using 2 radians.Three planned dose difference were compared.Results Compared with 3DCRT,IMRT and IMAT were better with heterogeneity index (HI),conformality index (CI),VPTV 95 ％,V5,V20,V35 of total lung,and V30 of heart (t =2.531,P＜ 0.05).There was no statistically significant difference for the V10,V15,V25,V30 mean dose of total lung,the mean dose of heart,the maximum dose of spinal cord,and the minimum dose of PTV among the three plans (t =1.325,P ＞0.05).Conclusion IMAT and IMRT are similar in the middle thoracic esophageal cancer radiotherapy target volume dose coverage and organs at risk protection,they are better than 3DCRT.IMAT in the monitor units and delivery time are less than IMRT.

The rehabilitation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) takes overall concept as its guiding ideology, including shape, qi and spirit. The core is to preserve and promote the inner overall vitality of the human body, and to overcome the dysfunction of human body through activating self ability of recovery. Based on this view, we integrated traditional and modern rehabilitation, developed the curriculum system and teachers.

Objective To verify the feasibility and accuracy in the measurement of tricuspid valve annulus diameter(TVD) in the right ventricular outflow tract view.Methods Seventy five patients under the valve replacement surgery for the left heart valve lesions were divided into mild,moderate and severe group according to the severity of the regurgitation.The TVD was get on the apical four-chamber heart viewpreoperatively by transthoracic echocardiography(TTE),noted as TTE-TVD,meanwhile it was also get by the transesophageal echocardiography on the four-chamber view (TEE-TVD),right ventricular inflow (RVIT-TVD) and outflow tract view(RVOT-TVD).The changes of tricuspid regurgitation severtity was observed preoperatively.And the morphology of tricuspid annulus were observed using both real-time three dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT-3D TEE) and the quantitative software.Results Comparison in the groups:no statistically significant difference (P ＞0.05) was found between TTE-TVD,TEE-TVD and RVIT-TVD;while the RVOT-TVD was significant greater than that in the same group from other views (P ＜ 0.05).Comparison between the groups:no significant difference was found between mild and moderate regurgitation group on the same view.There was a significant difference of the TVD between the severe regurgitation group and the former two groups on each view(P ＜0.05).The severity of tricuspid regurgitation in intraoperative anesthesia was reduced.The saddle tricuspid ring evolved into the narrow planar structure on the RT-3D TEE.For the expansion of the annulus,it departure from the tricuspid septal leaflet.Conclusions TVD measured on the right ventricular outflow tract view reflect the maximum expansion of the tricuspid valve annulus diameter,and can effectively guide the decision-making choices of the surgeon.

Objective:To investigate the impact of self-concealment,self-disclosure,coping style and per- ceived social support on university students'loneliness.Methods:Loneliness and related factors were assessed among 482 university students using scales including UCLA Loneliness Scale,Self-concealment Scale(SCS),Self-disclosure Index(SDI),Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ)and Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS).Results: The level of university students'loneliness was not high(36.5?7.4);males experienced more loneliness than fe- males(37.4?7.5/35.4?7.3,F=8.25,P0.05). Regression analysis showed that SCS,SCSQ and PSSS predicted UCLA effectively(?=0.207,-0.218,0.157, -0.380).The testing of mediating effect indicated that SCS had direct and indirect impact on UCLA through nega- tive coping style and PSSS;SDI had only indirect impact on UCLA through positive coping style and PSSS.Conclusion:SCS,SDI,SCSQ and PSSS are important factors influencing UCLA,and the intervention of univer- sity students'loneliness should focus on these variables.

Objective To explore the correlation between post-transplant glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in 1 year and long-term graft survival in renal transplant patients.Methods The clinical data of 334 patients who received their cadaveric kidney transplantations between November 1994 and October 2004 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the GFR at one year after transplant operation, normal GFR group was defined as GFR more than or equal to 1.083 ml/s, while patients whose GFR less than 1.083 ml/s were fallen into abnormal GFR group.Cockeroft-Gault (C-G) formula was used to compare the difference in the renal function between the two groups.Kaplan-Meier assay was used to compare the difference in the allograft survival between the two groups in the functional renal allograft or the non-functional renal allograft.The correlativity of GFR level at the first year and the GFR level at the 5th year was analyzed.Results The GFR level at the first year after transplantation was proportional to the graft survival time of the kidney.Five and ten years after transplantation, the renal transplantation long-term survival rate in the normal renal function groups was significantly higher than in the abnormal renal function groups (P＜0.05).As compared with the GFR level at the first year after transplantation, the changes in amplitude of GFR level at the 5th year after transplantation was (0.080 ±0.248) ml/s, and the descent had a positive correlation with GFR level at the 5th year after transplantatioa Conclusion GFR level at the first year after transplantation predicts long-term renal functioa The higher of GFR level at the first year, the higher of GFR level at the 5th year.

OBJECTIVETo explore the feasibility of genetic algorithm (GA) on multiple objective blending technology for extractions of Cortex Fraxini.

METHODAccording to that the optimization objective was the combination of fingerprint similarity and the root-mean-square error of multiple key constituents, a new multiple objective optimization model of 10 batches extractions of Cortex Fraxini was built. The blending coefficient was obtained by genetic algorithm. The quality of 10 batches extractions of Cortex Fraxini that after blending was evaluated with the finger print similarity and root-mean-square error as indexes.

RESULTThe quality of 10 batches extractions of Cortex Fraxini that after blending was well improved. Comparing with the fingerprint of the control sample, the similarity was up, but the degree of variation is down. The relative deviation of the key constituents was less than 10%.

CONCLUSIONIt is proved that genetic algorithm works well on multiple objective blending technology for extractions of Cortex Fraxini. This method can be a reference to control the quality of extractions of Cortex Fraxini. Genetic algorithm in blending technology for extractions of Chinese medicines is advisable.
