As the progress of organ and tissue transplantation technology, pancreas and islet transplantation has been introduced to treat diabetes and became hot. However, many shortcomings and re-lated issues need to be improved concerning the islet cell sources. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has become the hot topic on induction of islet-like cell because it was simple to access, easy to culture and possess the function of immunosuppressian. In recent years, artificial construction of pancreatic islet cells, which uses gene recombinant and gene transfection to reforge islet-like cells, has improved the induction rate of BMSCs and increased the amount of insulin serection, and it also provide new ideas and direction for the treatment of diabetes.

With the rapid development of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique,the accuracy of radiotherapy has improved,while the pretreatment dose verification has become more complex.Although the experimental measurements,a widely used way to perform dose verification,is accurate and effective,its time-consuming and labor-intensive is still a challenge for physicist.The independent dose verification method such as the depth dose-off axis ratios (OAR) empirical model,Clarkson integral model,convolution model and Monte Carlo model,could partially solve these problems effectively when the accuracy is ensured within a certain range.This approach could save physicists' time to conduct dose recalculation and plan check,and has become the hotspot in the world.This paper,therefore,mainly introduces the correction-based and the model-based independent dose verification methods,and briefly discusses the development of dose verification for IMRT plans.

Objective To study the effect of Coxsackie virus B3 (CVB3) infection on islet cells in vitro, and to explore the mechanism of islet cells caused by CVB3. Methods Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells( BMSCs) were separated from the bone marrow and cultured. Then they were induced to differentiate into islet-like cells using nicotinamide and mercaptoethanol. Differentiated cells were detected by morphology , special staining and RT-PCR. Observe CVB3 infection on islet cells under inverse microscope and detect the specific gene fragment by RT-PCR. Results BMSCs showed half suspended shape and gathered to form a cluster after induction. Cells became red brown by dithizone specific staining. RT-PCR also proved the existence of mRNA expressing insulin. Infected islet cells appeared typical pathological changes like shrinks, refraction decreases. RT-PCR detected the desired specific gene fragment of 299 bp in infected islet cells. Conclusion CVB3 can directly injury islet cells, and damage the function of islet cells of secreting insulin.

Objective To compare the effect of intravenous resuscitation with sodium pyruvate (Pyr) Ringer solution against lactated Ringer solution on hemodynamic and organ functions during shock stage in dogs with burn.Methods 28 Beagle dogs were subjected to 50％ total body surface area (TBSA) burn,and they were divided into three groups:burn injury without fluid resuscitation (N R,n =8),Ringer lactate solution(RL,n =10),and Pyr Ringer solution (RP,n =10).They were given intravenous fluid resuscitation according to Parkland formula 30 minutes after burn.The hemodynamics,organ functions and mortality were observed in conscious state before burn injury,and 2,6,8,12,24 hours after burn injury.Results Within 24 hours after burn,all the dogs in NR group died,and those in RL and RP groups were all alive.At 2 hours after burn,the mean arterial pressure (MAP),cardiac index (CI),dp/dt max of left ventricular contractility were significantly reduced in NR,RL and RP groups compared with those before injury [MAP(mmHg,1 mmHg =0.133 kPa):45.33 ± 7.78 vs.141.67 ± 5.98,91.33 ± 10.25 vs.142.33 ± 6.16,98.67 ± 9.54 vs.142.83 ±5.47; CI (mL·s-1·m-2):8.17 ±0.83 vs.48.34 ±3.33,16.84 ±2.17 vs.47.34 ± 1.67,19.00 ± 1.50 vs.47.34 ± 1.33; dp/dt max (mmHg/s):426.83 ± 51.91 vs.1 372.50 ± 39.61,594.00 ± 88.23 vs.1 363.83 ± 44.92,645.00 ±66.82 vs.1 395.83 ± 19.49,all P＜0.05],and the systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and alanine transaminase (ALT),creatinine (Cr),serum MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB),diamine oxidase (DAO) were significantly higher [SVR (kPa·s ·L-1):1 322.50 ±36.37 vs.281.45 ± 8.84,777.50 ±41.84 vs.289.72 ± 6.70,571.40 ±40.01 vs.286.27 ±8.66; ALT (U/L):89.50 ±4.11 vs.40.57 ±3.63,89.25 ±4.88 vs.37.92 ± 2.62,86.30 ±5.61 vs.38.47 ±3.50; Cr (μmol/L):75.62 ±4.61 vs.41.58 ±2.78,77.00 ±5.92 vs.46.55 ± 3.17,74.13 ±2.56 vs.45.65 ± 1.83; CK-MB (kU/L):13.122 ±0.282 vs.1.557 ±0.009,8.885 ±0.272 vs.1.497 ± 0.009,8.692 ± 0.180 vs.1.490 ± 0.005; DAO (kU/L):2.26 ± 0.14 vs.0.25 ± 0.02,1.50 ± 0.07 vs.0.25 ± 0.01,1.37 ± 0.07 vs.0.25 ± 0.02,all P＜0.05].All parameters in NR group kept on worsening till death,while hemodynamic and organ functions of two intravenous resuscitation groups were gradually improved,CI,SVR and DAO in RP group were significantly superior to those of RL group from 2 hours on after burn (all P＜0.05),and dp/dt max and CK-MB in RP group were significantly better than those of RL group from 6 hours on after burn [dp/dt max (mmHg/s):1 082.33 ± 63.59 vs.1 018.60 ± 47.36,CK-MB (U/L):7 898.70 ± 255.74 vs.8 438.70 ± 442.00,all P＜0.05],and MAP (mmHg) was significantly better than that of RL group at 6 hours (124.67 ± 9.39 vs.114.33 ± 9.16,P＜0.05),and Cr (tμmol/L) was significantly better than that of RL group from 24 hours on after burn (53.42 ± 4.99 vs.60.77 ± 3.11,P＜0.05).Conclusion The Pyr Ringer solution was superior to the Ringer lactate solution in improving hemodynamic and organ functions for intravenous resuscitation in dogs with 50％TBSA full thickness burn.

Objective To analyze the impact of electronic portal imagingdevice (EPID) position error on three-dimensional dose verification of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).Metbods Five Suremark SL-20 lead points were fixed on Elekta tray,and EPID images were collected in 0-360° rotation,one image per 5°.The position error relative to the accelerator was analyzed via Matlab.Then the images position error was corrected according to the analysis,and the 3D dose was reconstructed with the corrected images.The dose distributions of double arcs,clockwise arc(arc 1),and counterclockwise arc (arc 2) of 16 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients' VMAT plan were evaluated by γ analysis,and the results of before and after position error correction were compared.Results Compared to 0° gantry angle,the error of source to the image distance (SID) was maximum (1.20 cm) when the gantry angle was 180°.On account of the SID change,the maximum error along the up-down (y) direction in the iso-center planar was 2.28 mm and the left-right (x) direction error was within ± O.5 mm.The 3D γ analyses of 16 nasopharyngeal carcinoma in VMAT plans were obviously increased after the position error along y was corrected.The double arcs,arc1 and arc 2 were increased by (4.12 ±1.67) ％ (t =-9.86,P＜ 0.05),(3.47±1.64) ％ (t=-8.46,P＜ 0.05) and (5.08±1.30) ％ (t=-15.63,P＜ 0.05) in 5％/3 mm standard,respectively.However,in 3％/3 mm standard,γ value of the double arcs,arc 1 and arc2 were increased by (7.63 ±2.24) ％ (t =-13.63,P＜ 0.05),(6.03 ±2.07) ％ (t =-11.66,P＜ 0.05),(9.17 ±2.23) ％ (t =-16.41,P＜ 0.05),respectively.Since the EPID position error along x was corrected after y,the 3D γ analysis of reconstruction dose indicated that the average of the 5％/3 mm and 3％/3 mm γ value were increased by 0.23％ and 0.24％,respectively.Conclusions EPID motion error along the gantry to table direction of the accelerator can't be ignored.When reconstruct dose based on EPID,a modification should be made for rebuilding more accurate patients' 3D dose distribution.

OBJECTIVETo compare the effect of transumbilical single-site single-port with that of transumbilical single-site double-port laparoscopic varicocelectomy in the treatment of varicocele in adolescents.

METHODSWe randomly assigned 80 varicocele patients aged 10 - 16 years to two groups of equal number to receive transumbilical single-site single-port and single-site double-port laparoscopic varicocelectomy, respectively. We compared the operation time, postoperative hospital stay, incisional pain, complications and satisfaction with the abdominal cosmetic outcomes between the two groups.

RESULTSAll the operations were successfully performed. The double-port group showed a significantly higher score on the Visual Analogue Scale than the single-port group (4.8 +/- 1.4 vs 3.6 +/- 1.1, t = -4.986, P < 0.01), but there were no significant differences between the two groups in the operation time ([29.8 +/- 4.2] vs [31.2 +/- 4.6] min, t = 1.383, P = 0.171), postoperative hospital stay ([1.95 +/- 0.7] vs [1.82 +/- 0.8] d, t = -0.784, P = 0.436), complications (0 vs 0) and scores on the satisfaction with abdominal cosmetic outcomes (4.6 +/- 0.6 vs 4.8 +/- 0.5, t = 1.253, P = 0.214). No recurrence, umbilical hernia, hydrocele and orchiatrophy were found in the two groups of patients at 6 months after operation, and no visible scar was observed on the abdominal surface.

CONCLUSIONWith strict surgical indications, single-site single-port and single-site double-port laparoscopic varicocelectomies have similar clinical effects in the treatment of varicocele, which leave no scar on the abdominal surface. Single-site double-port laparoscopy needs no special instruments and therefore is worthier of wide clinical application.
