1.Characters of CBCT and its clinic application in verification and error rectification in accurate radiotherapy of thoracic cancers
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(3):213-216
With rapid developmerit of technology of three dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3DCRT)and intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT),the immobilization and repetition of patients'treatment position need is more accurate.The setup errors of thoracic cancer patients are great because of the breathing motion of lungs.The method of utilizing CBCT(cone beam computered tomography)to verify and correct setup errors is convenient and effective.CBCT,as one way of imaging guided radiation therapy(IGRT),is directly fixed on linear accelerator,has an important role and broad application prospects in reduction of setup error.
2. Progress on standardized treatment for patients with general cancer pain and cancer pain during " peri-radiotherapeutic period"
Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology 2020;29(1):73-78
Cancer pain is one of the main symptoms of patients suffering from malignant tumors. If it is not timely treated, it will lead to refractory pain and increase the burden on both the individuals and society. In China, the program titled" Good Pain Management" has been carried out for nearly 7 years, which increases the overall assessment and treatment levels for cancer pain among medical personnel. Nevertheless, the clinical efficacy for cancer pain treatment is not satisfactory. As an important treatment for malignant tumors, radiation therapy is also one of the main methods for treating cancer pain. For the first time, we proposed the concept of " peri-radiotherapeutic period" , and emphasized the continuous analgesic treatment for patients with cancer pain before, during and after radiotherapy. In this article, current status of cancer pain treatment at home and abroad was illustrated, and standardized assessment and management of cancer pain during the " peri-radiotherapeutic period" were summarized.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture plus occupation therapy for fine motor functions in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods:A total of 80 cerebral palsy kids with fine motor dysfunction were allocated into two groups by envelop, 40 cases in each group. Cases in the control group were treated with occupation therapy. Based on the therapy given to the control group, cases in the treatment group were supplemented with acupuncture at the points of the three yang meridians of hand. The treatment was done every other day and 10 times for a course. There was a 15-day interval between two courses, and 3 courses in total. The therapeutic efficacies were evaluated using Peabody developmental motor scale 2 (PDMS-2) and modified Ashworth scale (MAS) before and after treatment. Results:After treatment, the standard score for grasping (Grs), standard score for visual-motor integration (Vis), fine motor quotient (FMQ) and modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05). The improvement in the treatment group was more obvious than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:Acupuncture plus occupation therapy can achieve better effect than occupation therapy alone in improving fine motor functions of upper limbs in cerebral palsy kids.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Nie-pinching spine coupled with point application and injection for cerebral palsy (CP) in children with spleen deficiency.
Methods:A total of 70 CP children with spleen deficiency were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n=35) and a control group (n=35). Children in the treatment group were treated with comprehensive rehabilitation training, Nie-pinching spine, point application and point injection, whereas children in the control group were treated with comprehensive rehabilitation training and oral administration of multi-enzyme tablets. One course of treatment made up of 20 d. There was a 20-day interval between two courses. The cases were treated for a total of 3 courses. Then the therapeutic efficacies were evaluated using scores of spleen-deficiency symptoms and gross motor function measure (GMFM).
Results:After 3 courses of treatment, the total effective rates for spleen-deficiency symptoms and rehabilitation were 85.7% and 77.1% respectively in the treatment group, versus 51.4% and 57.1% respectively in the control group, showing statistical differences (bothP<0.05).
Conclusion:In addition to comprehensive rehabilitation training, Nie-pinching spine combined with point application and injection obtained better effects than oral administration of multi-enzyme tablets.
