Journal of International Oncology 2009;36(7):539-541
Brachytherapy has become an important treatment for soft tissue sarcoma by its unique radio-biology and radiation physics characteristics, the treatment time is divided in accordance with preoperative brachytherapy, intraoperative brachytherapy, postoperative brachytherapy, brachytherapy alone, which in im-proving the rate of limb preservation and local control rate sarcoma has played an important role. However, the timing of treatment, treatment modalities, the choice of implantation dose is still in dispute.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) in inpatients.Methods Totally 400 inpatients who were admitted to Tianjin Tianhe Hospital from Novem- ber 2008 to March 2009 were enrolled in this study.Physical examinations,including body height and body meas-urement,were performed the next morning after admission.The nutritional status was evaluated with NRS 2002.Results In all 400 inpatients.NRS 2002 was strongly practicable in 306 patients (76.5%) and weakly practica-ble in 94 patients (23.5%);Ninety-six patients (24.0%) had nutritional risks,which were most common in the department of internal medicine and the Department of neurology.The average age of patients with nutritional risks was (79.0±11.4) years,which was significantly higher than that of patients without nutritional risks [(58.1±15.8) years] (P<0.01).Conclusion NRS 2002 is effective and practicable in evaluating the nutritional status of inpatient.

Objective: To study the solubilization of sulfonated butyl ether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) for voriconazole (VCZ) to lay basis for the preparation of inclusion compounds of VCZ.Methods: The phase-solubility method was used, and the solubilization of SBE-β-CD and HP-β-CD at different concentrations for VCZ was studied at various temperatures and the inclusion constant (K) and such inclusion parameters as ΔG, ΔH and ΔS were calculated.Results: Both SBE-β-CD and HP-β-CD could improve the solubility of VCZ in water, while the solubilization of SBE-β-CD was more significant than that of HP-β-CD at the same concentration under the same temperature.The equilibrium phase-solubility diagram of SBE-β-CD vs VCZ was AN type, and that of HP-β-CD vs VCZ was AL type.With the increase of temperature, K of both β-CD decreased.ΔG, ΔH and ΔS were all negative for the inclusion process.Conclusion: Compared with that of HP-β-CD, the solubilization of SBE-β-CD for VCZ is better.The inclusion is spontaneously formed with exothermic process, and the main acting force is Van der Waals'' force.

Objective To use clustering analysis to help physicians detect abnormal parameters in radiotherapy treatment plans and improve the efficiency of plan verification. Methods From 2010 to 2015, 835 breast cancer treatment plans for using 4?field hybrid intensity?modulated radiotherapy from MOSAIQ were collectted. Fractional dose, beam angle, and monitor unit were used as featured parameters of a treatment plan to generate a dataset. The K?means clustering algorithm based on principal component analysis was used to perform a clustering analysis of the dataset and divide the dataset into different clusters. The outliers of clusters were automatically detected based on the distance threshold. The outlier?contained treatment plans were manually verified by physicians to determine the accuracy of clustering analysis in detection of abnormal plans. Results In the clustering analysis, the sample space composed by parameters of treatment plans for breast cancer was divided into 4 clusters, 3 of which had outliers detected. In the targeted treatment plans, 3 plans became outliers because of special target volume and the other 4 plans needed improvement. Conclusions Clustering analysis is effective to help physicians to independently verify treatment plans.

AIM: To estabolish the method for quality control of Anxinkang Dripping Pills(Radix Sophorae Flavescentis,Radix Astragali,etc.) METHODS: Using TLC to identify the dripping pills,matrine and oxymatrine in dripping pills were determined by RP-HPLC.Using C_(18) column,the mobile phase was made from the acetone methanol-H_3PO_4(3∶7∶90),the detection wavelength was at 210 nm. RESULTS: The herbs could be(identified) by TLC.For matrine,the linear range was from 0.05-0.50 ?g,and the average recovery was 97.3%,and for oxymatrine,the linear range was from 0.1-1.0 ?g,and the average recovery was 97.6%. CONCLUSION: The method is simple,reliable,accurate and can be applied to the quality control of the Anxinkang Dri-(pping) Pills.

Objective To investigate the effects of insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)on the cell proliferation of human non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and the possible molecular mechanism.Methods MTT assay was used to examine the effects of IGF-1 (0.1,1,10,100 ng/mL)on the cell proliferation of NSCLC cell lines(A549,LK2,H460),Flow cytometry(FCM)and Western blot to ana-lyze the cell cycles and the protein expression of S-Phase Kinase-Associated Proteins 2(Skp2)and CDC20 homolog 1(CDH1),respectively.Results The cell proliferation of NSCLC cell lines(A549,LK2,H460)could be promoted by the IGF-1 at different concentrations and the proliferation rate peaked when the cells were treated with 1 ng/mL IGF-1.Compared with control,the percentage of the S-phase cell population was significantly increased after the treatment of IGF-I(P 〈 0.01)and the protein expression of SKP2 also increased obviously(P 〈0.05).However,there was no change in the CDH1 protein expression(P 〉 0.05).Conclusion IGF-1 may accelerate the cell-cycle pro-gression of NSCLC cells by negatively modulating p27 protein via the up-regulation of SKP2 protein expression.

Objective To investigate the effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA) supplementation on neuron apoptosis,brain edema,activation of microglia,inflammatory response and neural function after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rats,so as to understand the protection of ω-3 PUFA in rats following TBI and its mechanism.Methods TBI model was established using Feeney's method.Ninety SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:sham operation group (sham group),TBI group,TBI + selective activator of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) anisomycin group (TBI + Aniso group),TBI + ω-3 PUFA supplementation group (TBI + ω-3 group),and TBI + ω-3 PUFA supplementation + JNK activation group (TBI + ω-3 + Aniso group).We measured rat behavioral outcomes by modified neurological severity score (mNSS) on day 1,3,and 7 after TBI.Brain water content was measured with wet-dry weight method.The neuron apoptosis and microglial activation (identified by specific marker IBA-1) in TBI cerebral cortex were determined by TUNEL staining and immunofluorescence.Inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin (IL)-1α,IL-1β,and IL-6] and the JNK signaling pathway (JNK,pJNK) were tested with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot,respectively.Results Compared with the sham group,the levels of brain cell apoptosis,brain edema,neuron apoptosis,and inflammatory-relatived factors (TNF-α,IL-1 α,IL-1β,and IL-6) were significantly increased in the other four groups (P < 0.05).Compared with the TBl group,ω-3 PUFA supplementation reduced brain water content following TBI,especially on day 3 after TBI [(78.14 ± 0.57) % vs.(82.31 ± 0.81) %,P < 0.01],and improved neurological function score (P < 0.05).Meanwhile,ω-3 PUFA supplementation suppressed neuron apoptosis,the activation of microglia,and the mRNA and protein expressions of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α,IL-1α,IL-1 β,IL-6).The activation of JNK signaling pathway was also inhibited by ω-3 PUFA.Conclusion ω-3 PUFA supplementation may markedly reduce brain edema,suppress neuron apoptosis,and improve neurological outcomes after TBI in rats,possibly mediated by inhibiting JNK signaling pathway and microglial activation,reducing microglia-induced cerebral inflammatory responses,demonstrated as down-regulated expression of TNF-α,IL-1α,IL-1β,and IL-6.
