External-beam radiotherapy is one of the principle treatment options for localized prostate cancer. Conventionally fractionated radiotherapy is widely used in clinical practice. Studies have shown that prostate cancer is highly sensitive to hypofractionated radiotherapy, also known as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and increasing radiotherapy dose can significantly improve the local control rate of tumor. A number of recently completed researches have shown that SBRT is as effective as conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. In terms of radiation toxicity, the short-term toxicity of SBRT is more obvious than that of conventionally fractionated radiotherapy, but there is no significant difference in long-term toxicity. SBRT can provide more convenience for patients, and the medical cost is lower, so it has a great clinical application prospect.

Transient receptor potential(TRP) superfamily includes seven subfamilies and TRP channels are regulated by a wide variety of physical and chemical factors. Recently, several members of the TRP channel family have been reported to be regulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate(PIP2). The regulation is complex and it can be activation or inhibition, involving multiple mechanisms and factors. This review summarizes the PIP2 regulation of several TRP channels of different superfamilies and the related pathophysiological significance.

Aim To explore the protective effect of ac-tive components of Xiaoxuming decoction ( XXMD ) on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats dur-ing early recovery period .Methods The ischemia and reperfusion of middle cerebral artery model rats were established by nylon wire with 2 hours ischemic time on healthy male SD rats .The models of MCAO were eval-uated by Zea-Longa′s standard score .The model rats were randomly divided into sham operation group , the ischemia/reperfusion model group , the active compo-nents group of Xiaoxuming decoction and the positive group (extract of ginkgo biloba leaves EGb 761).Rats were orally administrated with different drugs 24 h after operation for up to 14 days, once a day.The effect of active components of Xiaoxuming decoction on behavior changes of MCAO rats in different recovery period was evaluated by a series of behavioral assessent methods such as modified neurological severity scores and cor-ner test.The infarct volume was observed by TTC stai-ning.Moreover, the contents of MDA and the activities of GSH-Px, SOD and NOS in the penumbra and core tissues of rat brain were detected by spectrophotometric method.Results Compared with the I/R model group, the active components group of XXMD could significantly alleviate the neurological deficit scores with prolonged administration . The motion function tended to be normal , stayed longer on the balance beam, sensory function gradually restored sensitivity , reduced the radio of turning to the right .Among them , compared with model group , the active components of XXMD could effectively improve the neurological dys-function after five days of administration ( P<0.05, P<0.01).Meanwhile, the active components of Xiaox-uming decoction could significantly reduce the infarct volume percentage in the cerebral tissue on post opera-tion day 5 and 14(P<0.01).In addition, the active components of XXMD could reduce the content of MDA and the activity of NOS , increase the activity of SOD and GSH-Px.Conclusion The active components of XXMD can generate neuroprotective effect in early stage of recovery and may play a major role in regula-ting the level of oxidative stress in rat brain .

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT)for traumatic spleen and liver rupture.Methods We made a retrospective analysis of 140 cases of liver and spleen injury with clinical manifestations confirmed by operation.MSCT examination results and clinical data were compared.Results Of the 140 cases,male patients outnumbered female ones,and the peak age was 10 - 30 years old.The injuries were most commonly attributed to traffic accident and falling.There were 69 (49%)cases of spleen injury,5 1 (36%) cases of liver injury,and 20 (14%)cases of both.Liver and spleen injuries showed on MSCT examination were liver and spleen laceration, hematoma within the liver and spleen as well as hematoma beneath the envelop. Conclusion MSCT has an important diagnostic value for traumatic liver and spleen rupture and thus can guide clinical treatment choice.

Objective:To explore the relationship among lottery buying behaviors,risk attitudes and lottery re-lated cognitive distortions,in order to propose suggestions about the intervention of problem lottery players and the healthy development of the lottery.Methods:Totally 228 lottery players (120 males,108 females;150 unmarried,78 married)sampled from Jinan were asked to fill out the Questionnaire of Lottery Buying Behavior (LBB),Domain Specific Risk-Taking Scale (DOSPERT)and Lottery Related Cognitive Distortions Scale (LRCD).Correlation a-nalysis and path analysis were used to analyze the data.Results:The scores of irrational behavior of LBB were posi-tively correlated with the DOSPERT total scores and its factor scores of recreation and gambling,and positively cor-related with the LRCD total scores and its factor scores except optimistic (r=0.17 -0.34,Ps<0.01 ).While the scores of rational behavior of LBB were negatively correlated with DOSPERT total scores and factor scores of rec-reation and gambling,and negatively correlated with LRCD total scores and its factor scores of illusion of control, illusory correlation,over optimistic and gamblers'fallacy (r=-0.18 --0.37,Ps<0.01 ).Path analysis showed that lottery related cognitive distortions had complete mediating effect between risk attitudes and irrational behaviorsof buying lotteries.Lottery related cognitive distortions partially mediate the relationship between risk attitudes and rational behaviors of buying lotteries.Conclusion:It suggests that the higher risk attitudes the lottery players hold, the greater cognitive distortions they will have,which in turn the irrational behaviors of buying lotteries might easily to have.

[Objective] To investigate the difference of bone Absorption function of the rat osteoclast(OC) in different cultural methods, and the difference in the levels of mRNA expression of bone Absorption key gene, ATPase a3 gene, and provide the basis for further investigation on the OC in vitro. [Methods] with mechanical separation method, mature osteoclast was separated from inner wall of 24 hours newborn rat long bones medullary cavity; and induction culture methods, bone marrow cell was induced to osteoclast like cell(OLC) by using 1,25(OH)2D3.The morphological and functional change of osteoclast was observed and the difference in the level of ATPase a3 mRNA expression was determined.[ Result]OC and OLC are multinucleated giant cells, which can be stained positive by potartrate resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP), and can form bone Absorption lacuna. The number of OLC in induction method is more than in mechanical separation method, but bone Absorption lacuna is smaller and shallower than the early stage of induction. The late stage of OCL is extremely similar to OC. There is no significant difference of ATPase a3 mRNA expression from the cells between mechanical separation 8 hour and induction culture 6 days, but either of them is significantly less than inducing 8 days. [Conclusion]Induction method can produce a large number of OLC which is superior to mechanical separation method, but its bone resorption function is weaker in the earlier stage, because bone resorption function is associated with the number of nucleus. The late stage of OCL is extremely similar to OC of mechanical separation method. And it can be used in any experiments.
