Objective To assess the feasibility of applying intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)simultaneous integrated boost(SIB)to replace conventional radiotherapy(CR)plus brachytherapy of whole pelvis in locally advanced cervical eaneer(LACC).Methods Five LACC patients based difference position of uterus were chosen and worked out CR and IMRT SIB plans respectively.Dose distributions were compared between IMRT SIB and CR.Results When uterus was in ante-,neutral-,retro-pnsition and deviation respectively,IMRT SIB could provide enough and homogeneous dose distribution for target volume and reduce irradiated volumes and doses for organs at risk(recta,bladder and small intestine)than CR.The doses of the A,B,and fundus of uterus were higher in IMRT SIB than CR.However,in ease of small intestine was close to or encircled the uterus,the targets volume dose would be inadequacy.Conclusions LACC IMRT SIB's dose distribution is better than CR(except excess ante-position)and may help to treat those patients who couldn't be suitable with brachytherapy.

Objective To understand the homology of clinical isolates from patients with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)infection and isolates from environment in a medical institution.Methods One CRKP strain isolated from a patient in this hospital and 4 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae(K.pneumoniae)isolated from patient's surroundings were collected,susceptibility of 5 strains to commonly used antimicrobial agents was detected,production of carbapenems in 5 strains were detected by modified Hodge testing and carbapenem inactivation method(CIM),homology analysis was performed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE).Results Antimicrobial susceptibility testing results showed that 5 strains of K.pneumoniae(1 from patient,4 from the patient's ward surroundings,including hands of nursing aides,solution bottle opening,handle for lifting and dropping bed,and bedrail)were all resistant to other antimicrobial agents except to cephamycin and aminoglycosides.The modified Hodge testing and CIM confirmed that 5 strains all produced carbapenemases;PFGE results showed that electrophoretogram of CRKP isolated from solution bottle opening of ward,bedrail,and handle for lifting and dropping bed were the same as CRKP isolated from patient,while electrophoretogram of CRKP isolated from hands of nursing aides had 2 different bands,there was a close relationship between the strains.Conclusion The same type of CRKP were isolated from patient and his surroundings,it is necessary to implement healthcare-associated infection(HAI)control system,isolate infected patient,and strengthen environmental cleaning and disinfection,so as to avoid the outbreak of HAI.

The mechanism of sudden cardiac death caused by variation in SCN5A is still unclear. Recently, the converging evidences suggest that the dysfunction of regulation mediated by transforming growth factor-β1 in cardiac fibration and reconstruction of cardiac iron channel could be main reason of SUNDS caused by variation of SCN5A. The resent progress of the mechanism of transforming growth factor-β1 in sudden cardiac death caused by variation of SCN5A gene is reviewed in this paper, hoping to provide reference for the research and practice of sudden cardiac death in forensic medicine.

Objective:To observe the effect of ketogenic diet on the growth of human colon cancer cells in nude mice and to de-termine its possible mechanisms. Methods:A total of 24 male BALB/C nude mice were injected subcutaneously with the tumor cells of the colon cancer cell line HCT116. These animals were randomized into two feeding groups. One group was fed with a ketogenic diet (KD group;n=12), and the other group was given a standard diet (SD group;n=12) ad libitum. Experiments were completed upon at-taining a target tumor volume of 600 mm3 to 700 mm3. The two diets were compared based on body weight, serum glucose, ketone body, insulin, tumor growth, and survival time, which is the interval between tumor cell injection and attainment of target tumor vol-ume. Results:The tumor growth was significantly more delayed in the KD group than in the SD group. Tumors in the KD and SD groups reached the target tumor volume at 33.8 ± 6.7 days and 24.8 ± 3.1 days, respectively. The ketone body in the KD group was ele-vated with a slight reduction in serum insulin, and the difference in serum glucose in the two groups was insignificant. Importantly, the KD group had significantly larger necrotic areas and less vessel density than the SD group. Conclusion:The application of an unre-stricted ketogenic diet delayed tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model. Further studies are needed to address the mechanism of this diet intervention and its effect on other tumor-relevant functions, such as invasive growth and metastasis.

Objective To investigate the anatomy of upper cervical vertebrae's stable reconstruction by poster arch of atlas screw by anatomic study. Methods To collect the anatomical data of 39 dry atlas with the average inner diameter of vessel of atlas, the average high and wide of the screw point of poster arch of atlas, the average high and wide of poster arch of atlas beneath the groove for vertebral artery, the tract length of poster arch screw, the tract length of lateral mass screw, the direction and angle of poster arch screw, and the direction and angle of lateral mass. Statistical comparison were performed with Student test between the tract length of poster arch screw and the tract length of lateral mass screw. Results The average inner diameter of vessel of atlas was (26.8±2.58) mm(21.7-31.0 mm). The screw point high and wide of poster arch of atlas were (6.83±1.97) mm and (6.40±1.36) mm respectively. The average high and wide of poster arch of atlas beneath the groove for vertebral artery were (4.37±1.11) mm and (8.05±1.33) mm respectively. The tract length of poster arch screw were (30.54±1.705) mm. The direction and angle of poster arch screw was 15°-20° incline laterally and 0°-5°incline cephalo. 25.6%(10 cases) patients with the diameter less than 3.5mm beneath the groove for vertebral artery. The direction and angle of lateral mass screw was 32.05°±6.03° incline medially and 5° incline cephalo. There were significant differences between the tract length of poster arch screw and the tract length of lateral mass screw(t=59.528, P＜0.001 ). Conclusion About 74.4% patients can reconstruct the upper cervical stable by poster arch of atlas screw. The technique can gain instant upper cervical stable, and reduce the risk of injury of blood vessel by over explore the atlas arch compare with the technique of lateral mass screw fixation of atlas. The technique is worth to promoting with its character of safe, easy perform and rigid fixation.

Objective To compare the dosimetric difference between RapidArc and fixed gantry angle dynamic IMRT (dIMRT) for central-type lung cancer radiotherapy. Methods Therapy for 10 patients previously treated with dIMRT was replanned with RapidArc. Dose prescription was 66 Gy/33 fraction. Comparative endpoints were planning target volume (PTV) dose, doses to surrounding structures,number of monitor units, and treatment delivery time. Results There was no significant dosimetric difference between RapidArc and dIMRT. Compared with dIMRT, RapidArc slightly elevated target volume dose, lung V5, V10. The average values of lung V20, V30 and heart V30 were larger in dIMRT than those in RapidArc. The number of monitor units was reduced by 32% and the treatment time by 66% in RapidArc.Conclusions Both RapidArc and dIMRT plans could meet the clinical therapy needs. RapidArc could achieve similar target coverage and sparing of organs at risk, with fewer monitor units and shorter delivery time than dIMRT.
