Objective To compare three kinds of double-dosimetry algorithms used in estimating interventional radiology worker's effective dose.Methods TLDs were put in the Alderson Radiation Therapy Phantom (ARTP) dressed with lead apron,lead cap and lead collar.TLDs were put on the front left chest inside the lead apron and on the left outside lead collar,respectively.Radiation scattering models,intensity-modulated radiotherapy body model at one time and CT dose detection model at another time,were put on the operating table.The ARTP was set at the major operator's position exposed to the Xray,mimicking the real interventional radiology operation.Effective doses were estimated on the basis of organ absorbed doses.Effective doses were also obtained by the use of three kinds of double-dosimetry algorithms.The later three effective doses were compared with the first one.Results Two groups of effective doses were obtained,with each including four data.For intensity-modulated radiotherapy body model,effective doses were 0.138 mSv for phantom method,0.097 mSv for NCRP algorithm,0.161 mSv for Niklason's algorithm and 0.173 mSv for Boetticher's algorithm,respectively.For CT dose detection model,effective doses were 0.018,0.013,0.019 and 0.026 mSv,respectively.The result obtained by using the Niklason's algorithm was the closest to that by using phantom method.Conclusions Niklason's algorithm is more accurate and more practical in eatimating interventional radiology worker's effective dose.

Objective To explore quality of life (QOL) of spouses of spinal cord injury patients,as well as its influencing factors.Methods Sixty-eight spouses of spinal cord injury patients were recruited as an observation group.At the same time,another 70 healthy married people who had no serious chronic diseases in the family but were matched in gender,age,occupation and education were chosen as a control group.The QOL of all the subjects in both groups was investigated by way of a questionnaire survey.The results of both groups were compared and factors that influenced their QOL were explored.Results The QOL of spouses of spinal cord injury patients,including total QOL ( 3.22 ± 0.37 ),physiological function ( 60.57 ± 14.22 ),psychological state ( 60.09 ± 8.06 ),social relations (63.37 ± 8.10 ) and the living environment (66.86 ± 11.26 ) were significantly lower than in the control group (4.62 ± 0.75 ; 82.48 ± 10.92 ; 86.02 ± 8.75 ; 85.94 ± 10.13 and 83.23 ± 9.54,respectively).The QOL of spouses of spinal cord injury patients was closely related to the patient's injury type,injury position,the treatment protocol,as well as their own gender,vocation and education.Conclusion The QOL of spouses of spinal cord injury patients is significantly lower than that of normal people,and closely related with the patients' injury type,injury position and treatment,as well as their own gender,vocation and education.

Objective To explore the expression of BID protein and the relation ship of cell proliferation with apoptosis at different stages of IgAN.Methods The expression of BID protein、PCNA and FN in renal tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry,TUNEL and light microscopy were used to detect apoptotic cells.Results With the progress of IgAN,the expression of BID protein、PCNA、the number of apoptotic cells and FN increased gradually(P

Objective To investigate effects and safety of dexmedetomidine on the prevention of abnormal mental in patients after liver transplantation.Methods 160 patients after liver transplantation were randomly divided into the two groups using the drawing method:midazolam group(n =80),dexmedetomidine group(n =80),compared the two groups of patients with general,mental abnormality and the occurrence of adverse reactions.Results There were no significant differences in the general situation (gender,age,postoperative ventilator time,ICU stay time,oper-ation time,blood FK506 concentration,APACHEII score 24 hours after operation)of the two groups of patients (P >0.05),the spirit of the abnormal rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P =0.009), incidence of hypotension and hypertension in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P =0.035,0.029).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can effectively reduce the postoperative mental disorders in patients in the early stage after liver transplantation.

Emodin is one of the main active ingredient of Rheum palmatum, and has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and other effects. In recent years, it arouse concern since it has a significant anti-tumor effect with low toxicity. In this paper we mainly report the anti-cancer effects of emodin according to the studies of the past five years, including four parts such as inhibit tumor growth, inhibit migration and invasion, enhance the efficacy of combination therapy, increase chemosensitivity and attenuated side effects. We hope that our work may provide a reference for further study.

Objective To explore the diagnosis value of CT-guide percutaneous biopsy in the pulmonary nodules.Methods A total of 101 cases of the pulmonary nodules with unknown causes who underwent Germany-made auto-spring-gun spiral CT-guide percutaneous pulmonary biopsy were studied.Results The accuracy of centesis was 100%.97 cases were succeeded in getting diagnosis,the diagnosis rate was 96.0%.Among them,there were 61 cases of lung cancer,4 cases of malignant pleural mesothelioma,10 cases of metastatic carcinoma,16 cases of tuberculosis,6 cases of inflammatory pseudotumor.Pneumothorax occurred in 8 cases,hemoptysis occurred in 3 cases.The rate of complication was 10.9%.Conclusion CT-guide percutaneous biopsy to the pulmonary nodules is a safe and effective diagnostic means,which has a high diagnosis raze with few complication.

Objective To discuss the treatment strategy of knee dislocation and to evaluate its outcome.Methods Thirty-six patients with unilateral knee dislocation treated with individualized protocol were studied retrospectively,including 22 males and 14 females with an average age of 35 years (range,19-72 years).There were 30 acute and 6 chronic knee dislocations.According to the modified Schenck's classification of knee dislocation,there were 7 KD- Ⅰ and 23 KD-Ⅲ cases in the acute category,and all 6 chronic cases were KD-Ⅲ.Seven acute KD- Ⅰ and 6 chronic KD-Ⅲ cases underwent one-stage arthroscopic surgery.In 23 acute KD-Ⅲ cases,2 were treated conservatively with splint or brace due to advanced age,18 with staged surgery,3 with one-stage surgery due to concomitant vascular and nerve injury.Functional and clinical evaluation was conducted at final follow-up.Results All 36 patients were followed up for an average of 27 months (range,18-36 months).The Lysholm score (82.0±11.4),Tegner score (5.5±1.3),and knee range of motion (118.3°±19.2°) at final follow-up showed a statistically significant improvement compared with preoperative results (P＜O.O1).Eight (23.5％) patients had residual knee instability:posterior drawer test and Sag sign were positive (++ or +++) in 8 knees,valgus instability (++) in 1 and varus instability (+++) in 1.The remaining 28 knees were stable.Conclusion Special attention should be paid to rotational knee dislocation with single cruciate ligament rupture.Properly individualized treatment plan is the key to optimal outcome.Arthroscopic surgery can lead to successful outcome.Early one-stage arthroscopic surgery is recommended for acute KD-Ⅰ and chronic KD-Ⅲ dislocation,staged arthroscopic surgery for acute KD-Ⅲ dislocation.

Objective To discuss the clinical significance of anomalous origination of right gastric artery in interventional treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The dynamic enhanced CT scanning of the liver with a 64-slice spiral CT unit was performed in 72 HCC patients.In arterial phase,maximum intensity projection(MIP) and volume reconstruction technique(VRT) were used to observe the origin of the right gastric artery and its relationship with the hepatic artery.The findings were compared with the angiographic results.Results Of the total 72 cases,the anomalous origin of the right gastric artery was found in 43(59.8%).The anomalous origins of the right gastric artery included proper hepatic artery(n=19),left hepatic artery(n=17),gastroduodenal artery(n=4),right hepatic artery(n=2) and common hepatic artery(n=1).The results obtained from three-dimensional reconstruction were in good accordance with angiographic findings.Conclusion The anomalously originated right gastric artery most commonly originates from the left hepatic artery.Three-dimensional reconstruction obtained from the 64-slice spiral CT scans can provide the clear and reliable images of the right gastric artery,which is very helpful for the interventional procedure.
