Objective To investigate the dosimetric effect of accelerator gantry rotation angle errors, collimator and multileaf collimator ( MLC) leaf position errors on volumetric-modulated arc therapy ( VMAT) for cervical cancer. Methods A total of 10 patients with cervical cancer were selected. The plan. Trail file of each clinical plan was extracted from the Pinnacle3 V9. 2 planning system of USA Philips, then the operating parameters of tach control point were read and modified by Matlab programs, and thus the operating error of the accelerator was simulated. Results In this paper, it was discovered that systematic accelerator gantry rotation angle errors, systematic collimator position errors and systematic MLC shift errors which led to the maximum changes of the PTV dose limit were 0. 16%, 0. 46% and 0. 57%, respectively, and the maximum changes of the dose limit of organs at risk ( OAR) were 0. 38%, -1. 32% and -0. 44%, respectively. When the systematic MLC gap width errors were ± 0. 5, ± 1 and ± 2 mm, respectively, the maximum changes of PTV dose were 2. 11%, 3. 04% and 6. 03%, respectively, while the maximum changes of the OAR average dose were 2. 17%, 3. 92% and 7. 97%, respectively. Furthermore, the dose limits of PTV and OAR showed a strong linear correlation with MLC open or close errors(t=21. 201~90. 562,P<0. 05). If actual errors of each parameter of accelerator were introduced, the maximum changes of PTV and OAR dose limits were 0. 16% and 1. 30%, respectively, and conformity index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI) were barely changed. Conclusions No significant effect was found for systematic accelerator gantry rotation angle errors, systematic collimator position errors and systematic MLC shift errors for cervical cancer VMAT patients. However, there is a high sensitivity to dose distribution for MLC open or close errors. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention on the quality control of the accelerator running in particular MLC position errors to ensure the therapeutic accuracy.

Objective:To evaluate the gastric emptying of orally administered enzyme-hydrolyzed rice flour solution before surgery in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and effect on insulin resistance.Methods:One hundred patients, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 19-30 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=50 each) using a random number table method: water group (group C) and enzyme-hydrolyzed rice flour group (group M). Routine fasting and water deprivation were executed at 1 day before operation in two groups, and 300 ml water in group C or 300 ml enzyme-hydrolyzed rice flour solution in group M were taken orally at 2-3 h before induction on the day of surgery.Bedside antrum ultrasonography was used to calculate the gastric volume (GV) before oral administration (V 0), immediately after oral administration (V 1), and before induction (V 2), and then the ΔGV (GV 1-GV 0) was calculated.Fasting plasma glucose and insulin CONCENTRATIONS were measured on admission to hospital (T 1) and on an empty stomach on 1st morning after surgery (T 2), and then the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated according to HOMA steady-state model formula.Visual analog scale (VAS) scores for subjective comfort (thirst, hunger, fatigue and anxiety) and grip strength were assessed before anesthesia (T 3) and before leaving PACU (T 4). Reflux and aspiration during induction, nausea and vomiting within 24 h after surgery, and anal exhaust time after surgery were recorded. Results:There was no significant difference in GV at V 0, V 1 and V 2 between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the baseline at V 0, no significant was found in the GV at V 2 in both groups ( P>0.05). The fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and HOMA-IR were significantly increased at T 2 than at T 1 in both groups ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with group C, the fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and HOMA-IR were significantly decreased at T 2, VAS scores for hunger, fatigue and anxiety were decreased at T 3, 4, grip strength was increased at T 3, 4, the postoperative anal exhaust time was shortened, and the incidence of nausea was reduced in group M ( P<0.05). No reflux and aspiration happened during induction in either group. Conclusion:The gastric emptying of 300 ml enzyme-hydrolyzed rice flour solution orally administered at 2 h before surgery is normal in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which does not increase the risk of reflux and aspiration during anesthesia induction, reduces postoperative insulin resistance, and increases patient′s subjective comfort, and enhances the postoperative recovery of intestinal function.

Objective:To investigate the impacts of gantry rotation angle errors, monitor unit (MU) errors, collimator and multi-leaf collimator (MLC) position errors upon the γ passing rate of dose verification in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).Methods:Ten patients with rectal cancer and 10 patients with uterine tumors were selected. The operating errors of accelerator parameters were introduced during the VMAT execution. By comparing the γ passing rates during dose verification between the simulating and original plans, the impact and sensitivity of the operating errors of each accelerator parameter on γ passing rate were analyzed.Results:When the γ criteria were set as 3%/3 mm, 3%/2 mm and 2%/2 mm, the γ passing rate decreasing gradient was less than 7.0% after the introduction of gantry rotation angle, MU and collimator position errors, respectively. However, after the reverse, opposite, and co-directional motion errors of the MLC blades on both sides were introduced, the γ passing rate decreasing was less than 19.13 %, 18.53%, 0.19 %; 19.87%, 20.01%, 0.42 % and 23.11%, 23.45%, 0.65 % for absolute dose verification, respectively.Conclusion:During VMAT, the reverse and opposite motion errors of MLC blades exert more significant effect on the γ passing rate compared with the gantry rotation angle errors, MU errors, collimator position errors and co-directional motion errors of the MLC blades. When the γ criteria of 3%/3 mm, 3%/2 mm and 2%/2 mm are adopted, the impact of accelerator operating errors upon the γ passing rate is strengthened in sequence. Therefore, when performing dose verification for a specific patient, appropriate γ criteria should be chosen and absolute dose verification should be taken as the reference index to evaluate the consistency between the calculated and measured dose distribution.
