ObjectiveTo compare and analyze conventional plan and inverse optimized plan in dosemetric of cervical cancer. MethodTwenty cases of cervical cancer treated with combination radical radiotherapy of EBT were selected,every case had two plans: one was conventional plan based A point prescription dose, the other was inverse optimized plan (IPSA, inverse planning with simulated annealing)based volume object dose.ResultsIPSA plans provided better values compared with the conventional plans in 90％ prescription dose volume V90[ (94 ± 15 )％ vs. (60 ± 17 )％], 100％ prescription dose volume V100[(90 ± 18)％ vs. (56 ± 14)％]and 100％ treatment volume dose D100[(54 ± 10)％ vs. (29 ±9)％](P ＜0.05),respectively. Meanwhile the organ at risk received lower dose volume. ConclusionsPlans generated using IPSA provide higher dose to the target volume but with lower dose to normal structure and less time. This study can help to guide the clinical application.

Objective To study the anti-tumor effects of humulon on arylamine N-acetyltransferase-1(NAT1)activity.Methods Employing HPLC,using PABA as substrate,in intact SGC-7901 cells and their cytoplasm,making PABA being acetylated to Ac-PABA by NAT1 as the activity of NAT1.Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)assay was used to study the expression of the NAT1 mRNA.Results The results show that humulon could inhibit the production of Ac-PABA in intact SGC-7901 cell and the cytoplasm,the production of Ac-PABA was gradually increased with the interaction time increasing.But comparing with corresponding negative control group's,the production of Ac-PABA was decreased evidently and the humulone could inhibit the expression of NAT1 mRNA.Conclusion Humulon could prevent the occurrence and deterioration of cancer.Its mechanisms can be attributed to its effect on decreasing the production of acetylation of carcinogenic aromatic amines,which is acetylated from aromatic amines,and inhibiting the NAT1 activity and expression of NAT1 mRNA.

AIMTo investigate the impact of 8-(N,N-diethylamino)-n-octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (TMB-8) on the change of cerebral blood flow(CBF) induced by 5-HT or KCl in rats.

METHODSThe CBF in rats was measured by a Laser-Doppler flowmeter. The cranial window field was superfused with artificial cerebral spinal fluid containing TMB-8, 5-HT or KCl.

RESULTS12.5, 25 and 50 mumol.L-1 TMB-8 showed no significant effect on rest CBF in rats. 12.5, 25 and 50 mumol.L-1 TMB-8 apparently inhibited the decline of CBF evoked by 1 or 2 mumol.L-1 5-HT. When persistent reduction of CBF were evoked by 1 mumol.L-1 5-HT, TMB-8 markedly increased the CBF in a concentration-dependent manner. The reduction of CBF induced by 20 or 40 mmol.L-1 KCl was also suppressed by 12.5, 25 and 50 mumol.L-1 TMB-8. While persistent reduction of CBF was evoked by 20 mmol.L-1 KCl. TMB-8 markedly increased the CBF in a concentration-dependent manner.

CONCLUSIONThese results indicate that TMB-8 is effective in preventing and treating the reduction of CBF induced by 5-HT or KCl, and improved the supply of blood in rat brain during ischemia.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical value of pleural effusion lung ProGRP, neuron specific enolase (NSE), cytokeratin fragment 19 (CYFRA21-1), carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153), carbohydrate antigen 19 - 9 (CA19-9) in differential diagnosis and histological typing of malignant pleural effusion caused by lung cancer.

METHODSAll the 171 patients with malignant hydrothorax caused by lung cancer were from coal-mine area of Kailuan. They were divided into the small cell lung cancer (SCLC) group (n = 39), the adenocarcinoma group (n = 99) and the squamous cell carcinoma group (n = 37). The patients with benign pleural effusion served as the controls (n = 30). The diagnostic value of pleural effusion ProGRP, NSE, CYFRA21-1, CEA, CA153 and CA19-9 was compared for each group.

RESULTSYouden index and the accurate rate of pleural effusion ProGRP + NSE (sequence test) were the highest in the diagnosis of malignant hydrothorax caused by SCLC. CEA + CA153 + CA19-9 (sequence test) was the highest in the diagnosis of malignant hydrothorax caused by adenocarcinoma. CYFRA21-1 + CEA + CA153 (on parallel test) were the highest in the diagnosis of malignant hydrothorax caused by squamous cell carcinoma. The Yonden index and the accurate rate were the highest by the single detection of CYFRA21 (0.5514 and 0.6878), and by the combined detection of ProGRP + CYFRA21-1 + CEA (on parallel test) (0.7029 and 0.8878).

CONCLUSIONThe first pleural effusion tumor markers of malignant hydrothorax caused by the SCLC, adenocarcinoma of lung, and lung squamous cell carcinoma are ProGRP, CEA and CYFRA21-1, respectively. The best combinations of pleural effusion tumor marker in diagnosis of malignant hydrothorax caused by the SCLC, adenocarcinoma of lung, lung squamous cell carcinoma and lung cancer are the combined detection of ProGRP + NSE (sequence test), combined detection of CEA + CA153 + CA19-9 (sequence test), the combined detection of CYFRA21-1 + CEA + CA153 (on parallel test) and ProGRP + CYFRA21-1 + CEA (on parallel test), respectively.
