Objective To analyze the effects of target volume optimization on oral mucosal reaction and salivary gland function in oropharyngeal cancer patients receiving intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT).Methods A total of 120 patients with oropharyngeal cancer admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from April 2020 to August 2022 were selected and randomly grouped into control group(n=60,conventional IMRT)and treatment group(n=60,cervical region Ⅱ and the oral target region were optimized during IMRT).The therapeutic efficacy,parotid gland dose,incidence of acute oral mucosal reaction,dry mouth and oral pain at 3 months after IMRT were compared between two groups.The resting-state apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)values of parotid and submandibular glands at different time points(before radiotherapy,the 4th week of radiotherapy,the end of radiotherapy and 3 months after radiotherapy)were recorded.Results The difference in the objective reaction rate between two groups was trivial[80.00％(48/60)vs 75.00％(45/60),P>0.05].The mean dose(Dmean)and V34 of the unaffected parotid gland and the Dmean and V30 of the oral cavity in treatment group were lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The incidences of acute oral mucosal reaction,dry mouth and oral pain at 3 months after radiotherapy in treatment group were 41.67％,50.00％,and 58.33％,lower than those in control group(75.00％,78.33％,and 85.00％)(P<0.05).The resting-state ADC values of parotid and submandibular glands at the 4th week of radiotherapy,the end of radiotherapy,and 3 months after radiotherapy in both two groups were higher than those before radiotherapy(P<0.05).At the 4th week of radiotherapy,the end of radiotherapy,and 3 months after radiotherapy,the resting-state ADC values of parotid and submandibular glands in treatment group were lower than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Optimizing target volume during oropharyngeal IMRT can effectively prevent the occurrence of radiation-induced mucositis,alleviate oral mucosal reaction,oral pain and dry mouth,reduce parotid gland dose,and diminish the effects of IMRT on salivary gland function in patients.

Objective:To analyze the prognostic factors of primary and metastatic tumor resection for metastatic renal carcinoma.Methods:Clinical data of 12 cases of renal carcinoma with distant metastasis admitted to the Peking University Third Hospital from June 2011 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, including 10 males and 2 females. Age was from 36 to 67 years old, with average of 53.7 years old. BMI was 20.9-30.8 kg/m 2, with average of 25.8 kg/m 2.There were 6 cases of right kidney tumor and 6 cases of left kidney tumor. The diameter of the primary tumor was 2.7-16.0 cm, with an average of 7.1 cm. There were 2 cases of lung metastasis, 1 case of liver metastasis and 9 cases of bone metastasis. All the 12 patients underwent primary and metastatic tumorectomy. Postoperative pathological results showed 10 cases of clear cell carcinoma, 1 case of papillary type 2 tumor and 1 case of collecting duct carcinoma. The pathological results of the metastases were the same as those of the original lesions. Results:All the 12 patients underwent primary and metastatic renal carcinoma resection, among which 3 received postoperative chemotherapy and 6 received radiotherapy .Two patients were treated with targeted drugs. The interval between primary resection and metastatic resection was 1-84 months, and the median time was 2.5 months. In this study, 12 patients were followed up for 2-96 months, with the median survival time of 34 months, and mortality rate of 25%.There was no significant correlation between age( P=0.265), gender( P=0.183), BMI( P=0.152), primary tumor size ( P=0.082), radiotherapy, chemotherapy or targeted therapy ( P=0.915) and overall survival, and the interval between primary resection and metastatic resection ( P=0.046) was significantly correlated with overall survival. Conclusion:The interval between primary and metastatic tumor resection was a risk factor for the prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate nasal ventilation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) after nasal cavity ventilation expansion techniques by using acoustic rhinometry. METHOD: Thirty-eight patients with mild OSAHS and 17 patients with moderate OSAHS who were diagnosis by PSG were selected. The acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry were used to assess the nasal cavity volumes (NCV), nasal airway resistance (NR), nasal minimal cross-section area (NMCA) and distance of nasal minimal cross-section area from nostril (DCAN) before and after the surgery (6 month later). RESULT: The state of mild OSAHS group in NCV, NMCA and NR: before surgery (2.41 ± 1.33) cm³, (0.37 ± 0.39) cm², (2.07 ± 1.48) cmH₂O/(L · min), after surgery (2.53 ± 1.54) cm³, (0.45 ± 0.34) cm², (1.69 ± 1.03) cmH₂O/(L · min), has significant difference (P < 0.05). The state of moderate OSAHS group in NCV, NMCA and NR: before surgery (2.03 ± 1.54)cm³, (0.29 ± 0.39) cm², (3.47 ± 2.56) cmH₂O/(L · min), after surgery (2.31 ± 1.47) cm³, (0.39 ± 0.33) cm², (1.89 ± 1.03)cmH₂O/(L · min), also has significant difference (P < 0.05), while DCAN in two group had no difference (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION There was an objective evaluation of nasal ventilation in OSAHS patients after surgery by using acoustic rhinometry.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate nasal ventilation in allergic rhinitis patients after nasal provocation with acoustic rhinometry. METHOD: Twenty AR cases were selected. Each one was assessed for the nasal cavity volumes (NCV), nasal airway resistance (NR), nasal minimal cross-section area (NMCA) and distance of nasal minimal cross-section area from nostril (DCAN) by using acoustic rhinometry before and after nasal provocation 1 hour and 6 hours later. The results were statistically analyzed. RESULT: After nasal provocation 1 hour 1 later, NCV and NR had a significant difference compared with before nasal provocation(P<0. 05), but NMCA and DCAN had no difference (P > 0.05). After 6 hours later, NCV, NR, NMCA and DCAN had a significant difference compared with before nasal provocation (P < 0.05). NCV,NR,DCAN had a significant difference between 1 hour later and 6 hours later after provocation (P < 0.05), while NMCA had no difference (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The nasal ventilation in allergic rhinitis after nasal provocation had declined over time.

OBJECTIVE: To establish an in vitro method to culture mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) derived from human nasal mucosa, and explore their stemness and differentiation potential. METHOD: Based on the observation of distribution of MSCs in human nasal mucosa, we cultured and proliferated MSCs in vitro and identified the expression of stem cell markers on them including Nestin, CD133, Vimentin and Sa114 with immunofluorescence. The MSCs were induced to differentiate to osteoblasts with medium containing dexamethasone, ascorbic acid and beta sodium glycerophosphate, and to neurons with Neurobasal medium containing B27, ATRA and TSA. Histochemistry and immunofluorescence were applied to evaluate the differentiation. RESULT: The nestin and vimentin immunofluorescence-positive MSCs existed extensively in human nasal mucosa. While the MSCs were cultured in the osteogenic-inducing medium, activities of alkaline phosphatase were increased significantly, and bone nodules were found on the surface of the osteoblasts by alizarin red staining. After the induction by neural-inducing medium, the MSCs adopted neuron like appearance with many slim protrusions interconnected as a network. The induced cells expressed neural markers NF-200 and BM88 strongly. CONCLUSION The MSCs derived from human nasal mucosa are multipotent stem cells and can be utilized as seed cells to repair bone or neural injury.
