Objective To decrease radiation induced toxicities especially mucostis in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma( NPC ) who underwent concurrent radiochemotherapy, the maximum tolerated dose and dose limited toxicities of capecitabine combination with cisplatin were observed. Methods From Aug 2006 to Oct 2007, 24 patients with intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) and concurrent chemotherapy with capecitabine and cisplatin for nasopharyngeal carcinoma(stages Ⅲ-Ⅳ) were enrolled in this study. There were four dose-level groups of Capecitabine[625-1250 mg/(m2 ·d) , d1-14]and fixed cisplatin dose[20 mg/(m ·d) ,d1-5) ]MRI and CT scan were used for evaluation of tumor shrinkage. Treatment related toxicities were evaluated according to the common toxicity criteria( NCI-CTC Version 3.0). Results The acute side-effects include Grade 3 or Grade 4 mucosal toxicity(lasting for at least 5 d) and Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-mucosal toxicity were evaluated. Group 625 mg/m2 and Group 825 mg/m2 had none, Group 1000 mg/m2 had 6 patients and Group 1250 mg/m2 had 3 patients for mucosal toxicity, which were the main dose-limited toxicity and relevant to the dose of capecitabine apparently( P < 0. 05 ). There was also a trend of increase by the dose level of capecitabine for other toxicities. The median follow-up time for all patients was 28. 5 months. The locoregional recurrence occurred in 2 patients and distant metastasis in 2 patients. Two-year overall survival rate and locoregional control rate were 100% and 91.7%, respectively.Complete response and partialresponse were found on MRI or CT scan in patients of 29. 2% at the end of treatment and 83. 3% after three months, respectively. Conclusions The combination regimen of capecitabine and cisplatin is safe and effective according to the preliminary result. Toxicities related to radiochemotherapy for NPC were significantly associated with the dose level of chemotherapy.

Objective:To explore the application value of video-electroencephalogram(VEEG) monitoring in the diagnosis and localization of children with epilepsy.Methods:The clinical data of 310 children with clinical epilepsy symptoms diagnosed and treated in Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital and Qilu Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from May 2018 to April 2020 were analyzed. All children underwent routine EEG (REEG), VEEG monitoring, and positron emission computed tomography (PET-CT) for children undergoing surgery. REEG and VEEG was compared to monitor epileptic form discharges; the location of epileptic lesions was compared by different examination methods, and children were followed up after surgery.Results:Among the 310 children, 247 children were diagnosed with epilepsy and 63 children were suspected of epilepsy. The detection rate of VEEG epileptic form discharge was higher than that of REEG: 87.4% (216/247) vs. 45.7% (113/247), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 6.3042, P<0.05). Among 247 children with epilepsy, during the VEEG test, 81 children (32.8%) had clinical symptoms, of whom 65 had seizures and 16 had non-epileptic seizures. The detection rate of VEEG for epilepsy was higher than that of clinical seizures: 87.5% (216/247) vs. 32.8% (81/247), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 8.6148, P<0.05). Among the 247 children with epilepsy diagnosed, 144 children had epilepsy syndrome, temporal lobe epilepsy accounted for 54.17% (78/144), and frontal lobe epilepsy accounted for 34.2% (50/144). The accuracy of preoperative VEEG localization of epilepsy lesions in 50 children undergoing surgery was higher than that of PET-CT and REEG: 80.0% (40/50) vs. 56.0% (28/50), 54.0% (27/50), and the differences were statistical significance ( χ2 = 5.3014, 5.6031, P<0.05). Postoperative follow-up of 50 children who had underwent surgery showed that 50.0% (25/50) of the children had no seizures, and 38.0% (19/50) of the children had significant improvements in postoperative seizure time, seizure period, and clinical manifestations. 12.0% (6/50) of the children had no significant improvement in clinical symptoms. Conclusions:VEEG can improve the detection rate of epileptic form discharges, and provide an important basis for clinical diagnosis of epilepsy, and have important value in locating epilepsy lesions before surgery.
