Objective To investigate a feasibility of using dose constraint template (DCT) to increase conformity index (CI) of planning target volume (PTV) and improve intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) planning efficiency for early stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods Ten patients with pathological diagnosed and treated by IMRT were selected for this study. Target volumes were delineated with Corvus 6.3 of treatment planning system, two dose limiting regions(DLR) around PIN were added by extending from PIN,each DLR was 1 cm thick. We created three plans:Plan0,Planl and Plan2. PianO was without DLR and DCT, Planl without DLR but with DCT, Plan2 with both condition;but to compare dose distribution in PLTV and normal tissue using three plans. Results Three plans could fill equal request of dose distribution in PLTV and normal tissue, and their difference was not statistical significant. CI of Plan2 was increased and planning time was decreased significantly compared with Piano and Planl. Conclusloa Usage of DCT together with DLR can increase CI of PTV and improve IMRT planning efficiency for early stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma, planning time is shortened significantly.

Objective To investigate the impact of 1,25(OH)2D3 on histological changes and activation of STAT3 in BLM?induced pulmonary fibrosis mice. Methods 30 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group ,BLM group and BLM+VD group. Mice in BLM group and BLM+VD group received intratracheal injection of BLM(3 U/kg). Control group were intratracheally injected equal volume of sterile saline. From the first day after the surgery,mice in BLM+VD group received intraperitoneal injection of VD (5μg/kg·d). After 21 days, H&E and Masson′s trichrome staining were carried out. Aschroft score were used to evaluate histological changes in lungs. IL?6,IL?4 and INF?γin BALF were assessed by Elisa. p?STAT3,α?SMA and Collagen I were detected by western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry. Results Fibrosis score and level of α?SMA,Collagen I in BLM group were significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.05). However ,treatment with VD effectively at?tenuated fibrosis (P<0.05). IL?6 and IL?4 increased while INF?γwas decreased in BALF of BLM group (P<0.05). VD could ameliorate these changes. Upregulation and neuclear translocation of p?STAT3 were observed in BLM group,while VD intervention could inhibit phosphorylation of STAT3. Conclusions VD attenuate BLM?induced pulmonary fibrosis and regulate inflammatory cytokines probably by blocking STAT3 activation.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical effect of glucocorticoids and NSAID in the treatment of partial splenic embolization syndrome.
METHODSSixty patients with cirrhosis and spleen hyperactivity who developed partial splenic embolization syndrome after partial splenic embolization with Seldinger technique were randomized equally into two groups to receive treatments with intravenous dexamethasone or oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). White blood cell counts, liver functions, fever duration, abdominal pain duration, hospital stay, and occurrence of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and spleen abscess were recorded and analyzed.
RESULTSIn dexamethasone group, the average fever duration, abdominal pain duration, and hospitalization days was 3.36∓2.31, 7.39∓4.00, and 11.48∓3.29 days, respectively, significantly shorter than those in NSAIDs group (5.72∓3.83, 9.59∓4.22, and 15.07∓7.93 days, respectively, P<0.05). Seven days after the operation, white blood cell count (×10(9)=L) significantly increased from 4.23∓5.09 to 8.49∓3.53 in dexamethasone group (P<0.05), and from 3.21∓1.33 to 6.52∓2.37 in NSAIDs group (P<0.05); the increment was more obvious in dexamethasone group (P<0.05). The two groups of patients showed no significant difference in liver functions after the operation. None of the patients developed upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage or spleen abscess.
CONCLUSIONIntravenous dexamethasone produces better therapeutic effect than oral NSAIDs in the management of partial splenic embolization syndrome.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the occurrence of epithelial to mesenchymal phenotype transition (EMT) in the liver of rats following bile duct ligation (BDL).
METHODSTwenty-four male Wistar rats were randomized into sham-operated group and BDL group. Liver fibrosis of the rats was evaluated by HE staining and Masson's trichrome staining. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of the epithelial markers albumin and E-cadherin and the mesenchymal markers type I collagen and vimentin in the liver tissue. Immunofluorescence was employed to determine the co-localizations of FSP-1+vimentin, FSP-1+type I collagen, FSP-1+albumin, and albumin+type I collagen in cells.
RESULTSCompared with those in sham-operated group, the rats in BDL group showed significantly increased ISHAK fibrosis score (4.42+1.16 vs 0, P+0.000), METAVIR fibrosis score (3.42+0.67 vs 0, P+0.000) and type I collagen levels (0.30+0.06 vs 0.11+0.07, P+0.000) with up-regulated protein levels of albumin (0.53+0.63 vs 1.12+0.01, P+0.000) and E-cadherin (0.21+0.01 vs 0.44+0.01, P+0.000) and down-regulated type I collagen (8.21+0.12 vs 0.24+0.01, P+0.000) and vimentin (3.14+0.01 vs 0.37+0.01, P+0.000). The number of cells with co-localizations of FSP-1+vimentin, FSP-1+type I collagen, FSP-1+albumin, and albumin+type I collagen was also significantly increased in BDL group.
CONCLUSIONBDL causes significantly decreased expression of epithelial markers and increased expressions of the mesenchymal markers in rats, indicating the occurrence of EMT in some of the liver cells.
