Resveratrol is a natural phytoalexins.In vivo aud vitro experiments show that resveratrol could inhibit tumor metastasis by multiple approaches,such as influencing the expression level of matrix metalloproteinases and inhibitors,inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and interferencing signaling pathways,et al.

Based on a review of currently published 40 papers ( 20 published in recent 5 years, 20 published in recent 10 years) on gold nanoparticles for cancer radiotherapy, the general characteristics, theoretical studies, in vitro experiment, in vivo experiment,and the clinical prospects of targeted radiotherapy with gold nanoparticles were reviewed. Three key aspects guarantee further investigation for the full understanding of the radiosensitization effect of gold nanoparticles:the cellular localization and tissue distribution of nanoparticles and influential factors;the micro dose enhancement effect of gold nanoparticles, and the molecular biological mechanism. More cross disciplinary collaboration, research, development and translation are needed before gold nanoparticles are put into clinical trials.

Human stomach cancer cell line BGC-823 was treated by Tween 80 in combination with hyperthermia 39℃ to 43℃ for 20 to 100 minutes, respectively. The cell ultrastructure and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity were studied at 0 hr, 48hr and 96hr after treatment respectively. Normal human fibroblast was used as control. The main changes of BGC-823 cells induced by hyperthermia were: dilation of endoplasmic reticulum, swelling of mitochondria, increase of fat droplets and decrease in SDH activity. After treatment at 43℃, the mitochondria showed vesicles or myelin figures and the polyribosomes tended to disaggregate. In nuclei, heterochromatin increased and the nucleolus become a dense homogeneous spot or annular ring. A few cells got necrosis. Effects of Tween 80 on BGC-823 cells were similar to that of hyperthermia. When Tween 80 combined with heating, marked synergic action was observed and the damage of membrane structure appeared earlier and more seriously. The effects of 41℃ combined with Tween 80 for 100 minutes were similar to that of 43℃ for 100 minutes alone. The critical temperature of hyperthermia for BGC-823 cells decreased to 41℃. The responses of the human fetal lung fibroblasts were slight and reversible. The results mentioned above suggested that the Tveen 80 enhanced the damage effect of hyperthermia on the tumor cells by decreasing the phase transition temperature of the tumor cells.

Objective To test the accuracy and reliability of Axesse accelerator for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).Methods The accuracy and reliability of Axesse accelerator for VMAT were tested in a stepwise manner, from the simple to the complex and from the part to the whole.For the parts of the system, the stability of dosimetric output and the position accuracy of multi-leaf collimator (MLC) were tested.For the process of the system, the variable VMAT dose rates and gantry speed modulation, the MLC speed and dose rate modulation, and dosimetric verification in patients were tested.Results Compared with fixed gantry irradiation, the variation in dosimetric output was below 1.0% for rotary irradiation including the slide rotary irradiation of the dynamic MLC.The MLC position error of 0.5 mm was visible using the electronic portal imaging system of Axesse, iViewGT 3.40.The MLC position accuracy was within 1 mm for fixed gantry irradiation and rotary irradiation.In the range of the dose rate applied in clinical practice, the testing results of variable VMAT dose rates and gantry speeds as well as variable dose rates and MLC speeds showed that the variation between different strip-field beam intensities was below 2.0%.Using a gamma criterion of 3 mm/3%, the pass rates in dosimetric verification of patients with cervical cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer were 96.52%, 95.72%, and 98.83%, respectively.Conclusions The Axesse system can precisely control MLC motion, variable dose rates, and gantry speeds in VMAT.The Axesse system is accurate and reliable for VMAT.

Objective:To investigate the status of iodine deficiency disorders in children and pregnant women in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, and to provide a basis for scientific iodine supplementation and adjustment of prevention and control strategies.Methods:According to the requirements of the National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Surveillance Program (2016 Edition), iodine deficiency disorders surveillance was carried out in 18 counties (cities, districts) under the jurisdiction of Ganzhou City from 2018 to 2022. Edible salt and urine samples taken from children aged 8 to 10 and pregnant women were collected to detect salt and urine iodine levels. At the same time, B-ultrasound method was adopted to measure children's thyroid volume, and the goiter rate was calculated.Results:From 2018 to 2022, a total of 27 075 edible salt samples were collected from key populations (children aged 8 - 10 and pregnant women), with a median salt iodine of 25.00 mg/kg and a qualified iodized salt consumption rate of 96.24% (26 057/27 075). The difference in the qualified iodized salt consumption rate among key populations in different years was statistically significant (χ 2 = 29.09, P < 0.001). A total of 18 061 urine samples were collected from children, with a median urine iodine of 192.10 μg/L, there was a statistically significant difference in the urine iodine level of children between different years ( H = 82.59, P < 0.001). A total of 9 014 urine samples were collected from pregnant women, with a median urine iodine of 177.20 μg/L, there was a statistically significant difference in urine iodine level of pregnant women between different years ( H = 78.78, P < 0.001). A total of 8 621 children's thyroid glands were examined, including 34 cases of goiter, with a goiter rate of 0.39%, and the goiter rate showed a decreasing trend year by year (χ 2trend = 11.09, P < 0.001). Conclusions:From 2018 to 2022, the iodine nutrition of children and pregnant women in Ganzhou City is at an appropriate level, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt (> 90%) and the children's goiter rate (< 5%) met the national iodine deficiency disorders elimination standards. Ganzhou City continues to maintain the status of eliminating iodine deficiency disorders.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of brain injury after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in rats based on T2WI image texture analysis.Methods:Eighteen SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group ( n=8) and model group ( n=10). The rats in the model group underwent MRI scanning at 6 h after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and the rats in the sham group received MRI scanning at 6 h after the operation. The differences in the texture features of T2WI images and the expressions of AQP4 and NSE between the two groups were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of statistically different texture features between the two groups for brain injury. The associations between texture features and AQP4 and NSE expressions in the sham group and model group were analyzed using Spearman correlation coefficients. Results:The minimum intensity, standard deviation, and inverse difference moment of the whole brain T2WI texture features of the model group were significantly lower than those of the sham group ( P<0.05), while the difference entropy and characteristics of high gray in homogeneity were significantly higher than those of the sham group ( P<0.05). The difference entropy was the best with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.922, a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 75%. The AQP4 and NSE expressions in the model group were significantly higher than those in the sham group ( P<0.05). The minimum intensity value was positively correlated with AQP4 and NSE expressions ( r=0.501, 0.568, P=0.048, 0.022). The standard deviation was positively correlated with AQP4 and NSE expressions ( r=0.620, 0.530, P=0.010, 0.035). The difference entropy was negatively correlated with AQP4 expression ( r=-0.535, P=0.033). Conclusions:Texture analysis on T2WI images can evaluate the degree of brain edema and neuronal damage. The minimum intensity, standard deviation, and difference entropy are sensitive indicators to evaluate brain injury after CPR, and difference entropy has the highest sensitivity and specificity.
