In recent years the incidence rate of tuberculosis (TB) has gone up.It was estimated that 1/3of people had asymptomatic latent tuberculosis infection globally.The current widespread use of Bacillus calmetteguerin (BCG) vaccine program against tuberculosis in children has a good preventive effect,but due to the limited duration of the immune responses induced by BCG,there also had situation of prevent failure,so researchers begin to explore new TB vaccines,such as live attenuated mutant strains,subunit vaccines and DNA vaccines,and achieved certain results.For the pure protein derivative tuberculosis skin test positive and immunosuppressed children,in addition to active immunization would also need anti-TB medicine for chemoprophylaxis.

Objective To find a new algorithm for PET/CT image fusion.Methods A variational model was used based on the wavelet transform.Firstly,PET and CT images were decomposed using wavelet transform.Then,images in approximate channel and detail channel were fused according to the two proposed assumption.Finally,decomposed images were synthesized to form fused image.Results Compared with the results form MATLAB wavelet fusion toolbox,the experimental results showed that the new variational image fusion model could provide more accurate result for target location in radiotherapy planning.Conclusion According to experiments,the new algorithm can reach good results and meet requirement of clinical demands.

Objective To find a method for calculating the scatter dose of irregular fields. Methods The original Day function was improved to vary with radiation depth, and the improved Day function was used for irregular fields to calculate scatter dose. Results The accuracy was greatly improved by making Day function depend on radiation depth, and the error was within 1.5%. Conclusion This method can be used to calculate the scatter dose of irregular fields as well as rectangular fields.

Objective To study the vascular endothelium growth factor(VEGF) antisense oligonucleotide(ASON) Cinobufotalin in enhancing apoptosis induced by human chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cell line.Methods The synthesis of VEGF ASON was transfected into the K562 cells;Cinobufotalin of four concentrations(1,3,5 and 7mg/L) acted on the K562 cell line for 24h,48h and 72h.Western blot was used to detect VEGF protein expression,while in situ apoptosis(TUNEL) and flow cytometry method(FCM method) were employed to detect the apoptosis.Results The different doses of Cinobufotalin all inhibited K562 cell line in time-and dose-dependent manners.K562 cell line transfected by VEGF ASON had a more pronounced induction of apoptosis.Conclusion The in vitro Cinobufotalin at a certain range of concentration can induce apoptosis in K562 cell line,and VEGF ASON enhances Cinobufotalin's effect in inducing apoptosis of K562 cells.

PurposeTo evaluate the curative effect and possibility of the intraarterial chemotherapy followed by radical hysterectomy for locally advanced cervical cancer. Methods59 patients with FIGO stage lb-IV cervical cancer were enrolled and the tumor size with stage lb and Ua must be more than 4 cm. Treatment consisted of bilateral internal iliac artery infusion of cisplatin 80 rog, 5-Fu 1 500 rog, and AT1258 60 mg for 1 - 3 courses separated by 3 weeks. The tumor size was measured by vagina ultrasonic and CT before and after chemotherapy to calculate the shrunk size percent. All patients underwent radical hysterectomy. Patients with disease in the vagina, parametrium, pelvic lymphnodes or microscopic tumor emboli were followed postoperative pelvic irradiation. Results59 patients underwent 122 courses of intraarterial chemotherapy for 1 - 3 courses each. The total response rate was 95 %. Complete response (CR) was achieved in 18 of 59 patients (31%) ,while a partial response (PR) was noted in 38 (64%) and stable disease (SD) in 3 (5% ). No patient had progressive disease. 14 patients with pelvic lymphnode metastasis were all found to have PR and SD. No patient had lymphnode metastasis in CR. Of 18 patients with CR, 17 patients had not recurrence. Only one patient with stage lla recurred 20 months after operation. But he also cured. All 18 patients with CR were living free of disease. But 3 in 38 patients with PR died and 3 patients with SD were all died. There were no severe complications related to intraarterial chemotherapy and radical hysterectomy. Conclusionslntraarterial chemotherapy before operation can shrink tumor size, decrease the lymphnode metastasis. It is feasible in helping elevating cure rate of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who are at high risk for failure with conventional treatment.

Objective To study the extraintestinal lesions induced by rotavirus(RV)infection and explore the pathogenesis.Methods Simian rotavirus SA11 was cultured in MA-104 cells.After inoculation,the pathological changes in brain,lung,heart,liver,pancreas and kidney tissues were observed,the RV antigens detected,and the apoptotic cells observed.Besides,we stained the filamentous actin(F-actin)with Phalloidine-TRITC,and then quantified the F-actin amount.Results Several pathological changes,inclusive of myocardial interstitial edema,granular degeneration in cardiacytes,hepatic congestion,and hepatocellular vacuolar degeneration,were found,but not found in the brain,lung,and pancreas tissues.Meanwhile,several ultrastructural changes,inclusive of dissolved myocardial F-actin,extended smooth endoplasmic reticulum,swollen mitochondria,and widened perinuclear space,were found.No difference was found in the quantity of myocardial F-actin.Apoptosis was found in liver cells,but not in myocardial cells.RV RNA was detected in tissues such as brain,lung,heart,liver and pancreas tissues.Conclusion All the results suggest that RV may spread from the intestine to various extraintestinal organs and hence induce injury.Filamentous actin depolymerization,cytoskeleton damage and apoptosis induced by RV infection are the important mechanism not only in intestinal damages,but also in extraintestinal lesions.

Objective To help the hospitals at all levels in China to realize IMRT by adding the accurate location equipments and TPS based on the existing general radiation therapy from research of the new method for static Intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Method Based on the controlled technique of CRT, a new split method for fabricating the three-dimensional physics compensator to achieve the IMRT was developed. Results The Experiment manifested that the compensator fabricated by the way could make the high dosage shape of target in accordance with the form of tumor and could adjust the distribution of the dosage according to remedy requirement. Conclusion The method is simple and feasible, and has brilliant clinical prospective and popularized significance.

Objective To develop a laser treatment machine for the benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH),which can both avoid the transurethral resection symptoms(TURS) and rapidly remove the big BPH.Methods The machine adopted a long plus laser with 80W average power and 1000W peak value power in order to rapidly vaporize the neoplasm.Because of its high power,short operation time and small thermal penetraction depth,it could avoid the post-operation edema of the organ is resulted from the concretion of traditional continuous-wavelength YAG laser.The control system based on AT89C51 dominated the laser power,and meanwhile,it monitored the process to protect the machine.It was connected with the Hospital Information System(HIS) via RS232.Results The chicken breast tissues were irradiated with the sample machine under water,and the groove irradiated by laser was 4mm in width and 2.5mm in depth with the irradiation speed of 5mm/s.The arbonation of tissue surface was slight and the thermal damage to the adjacent tissues was the minimal.Conclusion This machine can rapidly vaporize the neoplasm with the minimal thermal damage to the adjacent non-irradiated tissues.It is desirable for the treatment of big BPH.
