1.REPAIR OF CERVICAL SPINAL CORD IN RATS AFTER FRACTIONATED IRRADIATION(Ⅱ)
Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology 1992;0(01):-
Upon the previous studies on the effect of spinal cord repair kinetics, we report the effect of extending the irradiation schedules to 3 treatment day per week. The animals in the experimental group received a pair of 2Gy fraction every other day separated by intervals (day/overnight) of 6h/42h and 8h/40h, respectively. There was significant shift by increasing interfraction intervals from 6/18h and 8/16h to6h/42h and 8h/40h, respectively. It is suggested that the tolerance of spinal cord is reduced while the overnight intervals are shortened from 42h and 40h to 18h and 16h, respectively and the repair of sublethal damage of spinal cord following multifraction treatment per day used in the clinic is not completed. With biexponential model, the ?/? ratio derived from these pooled data was 2.2Gy. T 1/2 values from spinal cord were obtained as 1.3h and 5.5h. It showed that the repair kinetics parameters are in well agreement with the results from the previous work. The repair processes are not influenced by interruption during radiotherapy.
2.BIOLOGICAL BASIS OF TIME,DOSE AND FRACTIONATION IN FRACTIONATED RADIOTHERAPY
Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology 1995;0(02):-
The biology rationale for radiotherapy in the treatment of malignant disease is based on repair, repopulation,reoxygenation and cell cycle redistribution. Various aspects of the roles of the 4R' are discussed, including in determining the sensitivity of tumors and normal tissue tolerances. An improvement in therapeutic ratio may derive from reducing the dose per fraction and minimizing the overall treatmemt duration. Some methods have developed to predict the response of normal and tumor tissues before radiotherapy. The parameters of cell survival at 2Gy(SF2) was correlated with clinical outcome. There is reasons to suppose that the pretreatment tumor LI and Tpot mat be good predictors for tumor repopulation kinetics. This review also discussed the rationale for the use of LQ model in fractionated radiotherapy.

5.Radiotherapy in the patients with bladder carcinoma treated by conservative surgery
China Oncology 2000;0(06):-
Background and purpose:Radical cystectomy is viewed as the standard treatment for bladder carcinoma,but organ preservation has been attempted for patients with muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma over the past decades as an alternative to radical cystectomy.The majority of studies included transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURB),radiotherapy,and chemotherapy,as a feasible and safe organ-sparing approach with the similar outcome to radical cystectomy.The current study evaluated the outcomes and complications of the radiation therapy for the patients with bladder cancer,and prognosis factors had been analyzed.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 21 patients with bladder cancer.The clinical stages of the patients were 15 with T_2;5 with T_3 and 2 with T_4.2 of them were lymph node-positive,16 of patients were pathologically proved as transitional cell carcinoma,4 as adenocarcinoma and 1 as transitional cell carcinoma plus squamous cell carcinoma.Conventional fractionation radiotherapy was given at a median dose of 54.5Gy(ranged 49.2-69.9 Gy) after surgery.Kaplan-Meier method and Logrank method were used for the statistical analysis.Results:Median follow-up was 32 months.The overall survivals at 1 year,3 years and 5 years were 90.5%,47.1%,and 36.7% respectively.The local disease free rates were 95.0%,62.4%,and 47.5% respectively.15 of 16 patients' deaths were related to the tumor.In univariate analysis,only small field irradiation was found as a prognosis factor in survival(?~(2)=5.36,P=0.02).Conclusions:Combined treatment appears to provide high response rates and can be offered as an alternative option to radical cystectomy for selected patients who refuse or are unsuitable for surgery.A large number of patients,multicenter,prospective randomized trial would be desirable to evaluate the role of radiotherapy in the multi-modality treatment of bladder cancer.
6.The Effect of Pravastatin on Impaired Endothelium-dependent Relaxation of Isolated Rabbit Aortic Rings Induced by Homocysteine
Journal of Chinese Physician 2000;0(12):-
Objective To explore whether pravastatin protects endothelium against the damage induced by homocysteine (Hcy) in isolated rabbit aorta. Methods Endothelium-dependent relaxation responses to acetylcholine (ACh) of thoracic aortic rings were measured by isometric tension recording before and after aortic rings exposed to Hcy in the absence or presence of pravastatin (PT) to estimate the injury effect of Hcy and the protective effect of pravatatin on rabbit aortic endothelium, respectively. Results Incubation of aortic rings with 1~10mmol/L Hcy for 30min significantly inhibited endothelium-dependent relaxation response to ACh of aortic rings in a concentration-dependent manner. Pre-incubation of aortic rings with 0.3~3mmol/L PT for 15min and co-incubation of aortic rings with 3mmol/L Hcy for another 30min markedly attenuated the inhibition of endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by Hcy in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion Pravastatin can improve the impairment of endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by Hcy in isolated rabbit aorta.

10.Cost-effectiveness Assessment of the Cataract Operation Modes
Chinese Journal of Prevention and Control of Chronic Diseases 2006;0(04):-
Objective To assess the cost-effectiveness of different modes of the cataract operation. Methods Firstly, 291 cases of cataract inpatient were divided four groups according to operation modes (PHACO and ECCE) and the prices of intraocular lens (IOL) (high and low). Then the comparisons of inpatient cost, operation cost, postoperative VA, postoperative VF and QOL were made among four groups respectively. Finally, the cost-effectiveness of different cataract operation modes was analyzed by comparing the differences of their costs with the VA, VF and QOL improvement. Results There were significant differences in the above indicators among four groups in general (P 0.01). The VA improvement amount of PHACO was higher than that of ECCE whereas the VF and QOL improvement lower than those of ECCE. The price of IOL had no effect on the improvement quantity of VA, VF and QOL. When one unit amount of VA improvement wanted, the cost-effectiveness ratio of inpatient with PHACO and low-price IOL was the lowest. When one unit amount of VF and QOL improvement wanted, the cost-effectiveness ratio of patients with ECCE and high-price IOL was the lowest. When one unit amount of VA and QOL improvement wanted, the operation cost-effectiveness ratio of ECCE with low-price IOL was the lowest. And when one unit amount of VF improvement wanted, the operation cost-effectiveness ratio of ECCE with high-price IOL was the lowest. Conclusions There were cost differences among different cataract operation modes. The cost of PHACO was higher than that of ECCE. The ECCE mode and price of IOL were the main determinants of cost. The effects of improving VA and QOL by ECCE were better and the effect of improving VA by PHACO was better than by ECCE. The homemade or low price IOL had no influence on the cataractous operative effectiveness, but could decrease the operation cost. ECCE with low-price IOL was the optimal cost-effectiveness strategy and operation mode, especially for poor rural and remote areas.
