Objective To evaluate the effect of carbon fiber couch on dose distribution of radiotherapy planning and verification pass rate.Methods Establishing the carbon fiber treatment couch model in Pinnacle8.0m Treatment Planning system (TPS),and then this model was used to correct dose calculations of oblique fields in the treatment plans of 10 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma,10 cases of breast cancer and 10 cases of lung cancer and evaluate the effect of carbon fiber couch on the whole dose distribution of the plans.Then these plans were measured by three-dimensional dose verification equipment Delta4 to confirm the improvement extent of Gamma pass rate after considering the carbon fiber treatment couch.Results For the majority of plans,when the carbon fiber couch was taken into consideration,the target doses was significantly reduced (4772 cGy-7266 cGy vs.4859 cGy-7347 cGy,P=0.000-0.002) and the relative deviation of D95 was 1％ to 3％.Measurement results of Delta4 showed that Gamma pass rate (3 mm/3％ criteria) increased in all plans (96.4％-98.8％ vs.93.4％-97.3％,P =0.000),some of that were up to 5 percentage when the couch model was applied.Conclusions Target doses will be overestimated if the treatment couch is ignored in TPS measurement.,However it should arouse enough attention when the disease with smaller doses corresponding gradient.

BACKGROUND:Previously deep burn wound or skin defects are generaly repaired with skin grafting or flap of skin grafting. Obvious scar hyperplasia usualy appears after operation, which requires multiple surgeries. Meanwhile, patients have to suffer from great pain and bear high cost. OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effects on deep wounds by continuous traction of self-designed skin-stretching device (patent No. ZL 2012 2 0022443.7). METHODS: Thirty patients with deep burn wound, skin defect or funicular scar were enroled, including 22 males and 8 females, aged 18-49 years, and randomly divided into two groups. Skin-stretching device was adopted for skin traction treatment. Twenty cases underwent skin traction from 1 kg puling force to 5 kg, with an increase of 1 kg per 2 days, 6 hours a day for 10 days. Blood flow at the beginning, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes of the skin traction, and the changes of wound edge skin as wel as histological changes of the skin were observed. Of the remaining 10 cases, 2, 6, and 2 cases underwent skin traction of 2, 4, 7 kg, respectively. Blood flow and skin changes were also observed to find out the most suitable and safe force. RESULTS AND CONLUSION:Al the 30 cases achieved primary healing without necrosis of skin, infection or peripheral circulatory disorders, and the appearance and function recovered wel. The healing time was 8-24 days. The skin-stretching device was most safe under 4 kg puling force, by which, there was neither blood circulation obstacle nor tear of skin. After traction, the skin blood flow and the number of cels increased, especialy the epithelial basal cels. The colagen fibers became thicker and denser, and the elastic fibers regenerated significantly; the fibroblasts and capillary density increased. It has been proved that we can better close the wound and reduce scar formation effectively with the self-designed skin-stretching device for skin traction.

OBJECTIVE:To provide scientific reference for rational,effective and economical drug use in pediatric depart-ment. METHODS:A total of 9771 prescriptions were randomly selected from children's branch of our hospital during May 2012-Apr. 2016. Those prescriptions were analyzed statistically in respects of drug type,prescription cost,utilization rate of injec-tion,utilization rate of essential medicine,clinical diagnosis,irrational drug use,use of antibiotics,etc. RESULTS:Among 9771 prescriptions,2.91 types of drugs were used in each prescription,and each prescription expended 77.10 yuan;utilization rate of in-jection was 57.11％,and that of national essential medicine was 67.80％. Respiratory tract disease was main disease (84.17％). There were 284 irrational prescriptions(2.91％),including 156 non-standard prescriptions,165 unsuitable prescriptions and 65 ex-traordinary prescriptions. Utilization rate of antibiotics was 18.25％,among which that of Cefoxitin sodium injection was the high-est(15.48％),but its utilization index was the lowest(0.58). The detection rate of microorganism isolated from bronchitis patients was in low level(45.10％). CONCLUSIONS:The rate of qualified prescription in the children's branch of our Hospital is higher than the requirement of the former Ministry of Public Health concerning the rate of qualified prescription >95％;utilization rate of antibiotics and injection are both in high level. In the future,it is necessary to strengthen prescription evaluation and promote stan-dard and rational use of drugs so as to guarantee safe,effective and economical use of drugs in clinic.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genes in children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 20 children with SLE and 12 healthy human controls.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to detect anti-EBV viral capsid antigen (VCA) IgG/IgM antibodies.The culture supernatants of cells from patients with anti-EBV VCA IgG/IgM antibodies were collected,and PBMCs from the patients and controls were co-cultured with the supernatants respectively for 12 days.RNA was extracted from PBMCs before and after the coculture,and reverse transcription-PCR was performed to detect the expression of EBV genes,including LMP1,LMP2,EBNA1,BCRF1,BLLF1 and BILF1 genes.Results LMP1 gene was detected in fresh PBMCs from 10 out of 20 patients and 1 out of 12 controls (P ＜ 0.05).No significant differences were observed between the patients and controls in the detection rate of LMP2 gene (4/20 vs.1/12),EBNA1 gene (13/20 vs.3/12),BCRF1 gene (3/20 vs.1/12) or BLLF1 gene (5/20 vs.2/12) in fresh PBMCs.After co-culture with the supernatants of cells from patients with anti-EBV VCA IgG/IgM antibodies,the expressions of EBV genes in these PBMCs were increased to different degrees,and there was a significant difference in the expressions of EBV latent genes LMP1,LMP2 and EBNA-1 as well as EBV replicative genes BCRF1 and BLLF1 between the patient-derived and control-derived PBMCs (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There is an aberrant expression of EBV genes in children with SLE,and EBV genes may contribute to the development of SLE.

Objective To study the significance of combined detection of procalcitonin ( PCT ) , C-reactive protein( CRP) and lipopolysaccharide( LPS) for early diagnosis of bacterial infection in newborns. Methods Clinical data of ninety-eight newborns from neonatal ward of our hospital were retrospectively studied. Fifty cases with bacterial infectious diseases were selected as infection group,in the same period,48 cases with non-bacterial infectious diseases were selected as control group. In the 24 hours after admission before use of antibiotics,all of cases were picked blood used for testing CRP,PCT,LPS and blood culture, and the results were contrasted and analyzed. Results The levels of serum PCT,CRP and LPS in infection group were respectively significantly higher than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05,respectively). In gram-positive bacterium group,the positive rate of combined detection of serum PCT and CRP was obviously higher than that of single detection of PCT or CRP ( 91. 3% vs. 60. 9%,P<0. 05;91. 3% vs. 56. 5%,P<0. 05 respectively) . In gram-negative bacteria group,positive rate of combined detection of serum PCT and LPS was obviously higher than that of single detection of PCT or LPS respectively(88. 9% vs. 59. 3%,P<0. 05;88. 9% vs. 66. 7%,P<0. 05 respectively). Conclusion Joint detection can improve the diagnostic efficiency, and reduce missed diagnosis. And we can identify disease which predominantly infected by positive bacteria or negative bacteria through joint detection,which can contribute to the choice of clinical antibiotic drugs.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics, treatment and prognosis in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) combining myocardial infarction (MI).
Methods: A total of 10 patients with ET combining MI treated in our hospital from 2003-01 to 2015-07 were retrospectively studied. The basic clinical information with major admission complaints, previous history and peripheral platelet counts were recorded;echocardiograph, coronary angiography (CAG), application of anti-platelet drugs and platelet reductive therapy with the prognosis were recorded in all patients.
Results: There were 6 male and 4 female with a mean age of (55.3 ± 9.7) years, 7 patients with AMI and 3 with old MI. The platelet counts at admission were (500-599) × 109/L in 3 patients, (600-699) × 109/L in 1 patient, (700-799) × 109/L in 3 patients, (800-899) × 109/L in 1 patients, (900-999) × 109/L in 1 patient and more than 1000 × 109/L in 1 patient. Echocardiograph indicated that 5 patient had LVEF≤50%and 5 had LVEF>50%. CAG revealed that there were 9 cases with left anterior descending involved, 2 with circumlfex involved and 5 with right coronary involved. All patients received dual anti-platelet drugs before operation, 4 had hydroxyurea for (20-30) days before operation and no post-operative cardiovascular events occurred;6 patients without hydroxyurea medication and 1 of them was re-hospitalized for angina pectoris and 2 had progressed coronary lesions.
Conclusion: Application of platelet reductive therapy at before and after interventional treatment may improve the prognosis in patients with ET combining MI.
