Objective To develop a system achieving automated real-time tracking and localizing of tumor center in radiotherapy. Methods High-accuracy infrared tracking cameras' coordinate system was calibrated with the treatment machine. A kind of passive marker was introduced, which can be imaged by computed tomography and can be localized by the infrared cameras during radiotherapy. Several markers on the surface of the thermal-shaped film were fixed, and then the real-time co-ordinates of the markers was compared with those obtained from the computed tomography. With subsequent space registration, the position biases could be shown finally, which could help achieving the real-time tracking and localizing of the tumor center. Results With infrared tracking cameras and appropriate software, the system can achieve automated and real-time localization in radiotherapy. Conclusion The system is more automated, accurate and speedy than the traditional localization method.

Gravity is the most fundamental biomechanical stimulus for posture change.Pressure of blood flow is one of primary indicators to evaluate cardiovascular performance.Up to now, the underlying mechanism of effects of posture change on cardiovascular system is still unclear.A 3D FSI mathematical model with posture change was presented.By applying the body force terms to the fluid equation and the vessel wall equation, the model could be used to study posture change and the effects of gravity on the pressure of blood flow quantitively.Under different inlet-outlet pressure difference(IODP) and different postures such as horizontal, upright and upside-down one, the effects of gravity were simulated.In horizontal position, the pressure distributions of blood flow transformed from 2D(two-dimensional) axis-symmetry without gravity to 3D asymmetry with gravity under small IODP.With IODP increasing, gravity had less effects on pressure distribution and extreme value.As IODP reached 10 665.6 Pa(80 mmHg) and 2 666.4 Pa(20 mmHg) respectively, this effect was observed to be constant.Similar results were obtained from 3D fluid-only model.In either upright or upside-down position, 2D axis-symmetric pressure distribution was observed with and without gravity, yet the position, in which extreme pressure appeared, was different in upright position from that in upside-down one.Finally, the effect intensity of gravity in upright or upside-down position was more than twice as much as that in horizontal one.The results indicate that introducing body force term into the fluid and solid equations to present a novel model, which was based on hemodynamics, will provide a new way to study posture change.Effects of gravity on pressure distribution and extreme value changed with different postures and IODP.If IODP is small, ignoring effect of gravity and postures so as to simplify the hemodynamics model to 2D axis-symmetric one, the conclusion should be drawn with caution.

Aim To observe the analgesic effect of oxymatrine(OMT)and its mechanism.Methods A peripheral mononeuropathy was produced in adult mice by placing loosely constrictive ligatures around the common sciatic nerve.The antinociceptive effects of the OMT were assessed in mechanical allodynia and cold allodynia tests.The CAMKII inhibitor KN-93 and AIP were adopted to investigate the influence of OMT on the analgesic effect and analyze its analgesic mecha-nisms.Western blot was used to evaluate the expres-sions of tCaMKII and pCaMKII protein.Results The intraperitoneal administration of OMT (1 60,80 mg· kg -1 )increased the paw withdrawal threshold in the
mechanical allodynia test (P <0.05 ),OMT (1 60, 80,40 mg·kg -1 ,ip)remarkably decreased the paw lifts in the cold allodynia test (P <0.05).Ith KN-93 (1 .25 μg/site),AIP (0.02 μg/site)significantly en-hanced the analgesic effect of OMT (35 mg·kg -1 ) (P <0.01 ).Protein expression of pCaMKII was de-creased by OMT(1 60 mg·kg -1 ).Conclusion OMT has significant protective effects on chronic constriction injury(CCI)in mice,and the effective mechanism of OMT inhibits the expression of CaMKII receptor.

Objective To investigate the effect of polyphosphazene(PAGP) microspheres controled release of growth factors on the adhesion and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).Methods Two kinds of functional poly(alanine ethyl ester-co-glycine ethyl ester) phosphazene microspheres with different ratios of side-substituent groups were synthesized using the emulsion technique.The rate of degradation/hydrolysis of the polymers was carefully tuned to suit the desired application for controlled release.The enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay was utilized to investigate the characterization of the temporal controlled release strategy of microspheres loaded with transforming growth factor-beta 1(TGF-β1) and insulin-like growth factor-l(IGF-1) respectively.The cell adhesion and proliferation stimulated by different growth factors were evaluated by acridine orange staining.Resuits The morphological difference between two PAGP microspheres was identified according to SEM images.The average diameter of two microspheres was 54.22 ± 19.19 μm and 34.11 ± 18.82 μm respectively.The release assay showed that two kinds of microspheres had different release characteristics,with earlier outburst of TGF-β1 and IGF-1 for them to cooperate and later sustained release of TGF-β1 to stimulate the differentiation of stem cells.The result of the acridine orange staining demonstrated that PAGP microspheres supported cell adhesion and growth without obvious cytotoxicity.Meanwhile,the growth factors release strategy significantly improved the proliferation of BMSCs.Conclusion The two polyphosphazene microspheres have a great release-control effect and their controlled release system will have a promising prospect in the future tissue engineering field.
