Objective To study the applicability of unilateral and bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion during deep hy-potbermia circulatory arrest (DHCT) surgery and to determine a better method of brain protection. Methods 60 patients un-derwent aortic arch surgery were random divided into either unilateral cerebral perfusion group with a cannula in the innominate artery (n = 30 ) , or bilateral cerebral peffusion gToup with an additional cannula in the left carotid artery ( n = 30 ). S-100β,neuron specific enolase (NSE) were assayed at the following time points: the beginning of cardiopulmonary bypass (T_1), the beginning of circulatory arrcst( T_2 ), antegradc cerebral perfusion (ACP) 25 min( T_3 ), the end of ACP( T_4 ), the end of car-diopulmonary bypass ( T_5 ) , 1h( T_6 ) , 6h ( T_7 ) and 24h( T_8 ) after operation. Neurological deficit incidence and mortality were also obtained. Results There is no statistical significance for S-100β and NSE plasma concentration among time points of T_1、T_2 and T_3. But every time point among T_4、T_5、T_6、T_7 ,Ts do have statistical significances. The incidence of central nervous system dysfunction in group unilateral ACP was higher than that in group bilateral ACP ( 33.33% vs. 10.00%, P = 0.028 ).But there is no significant difference between the two groups in mortality( 3.33% vs. 6.66% ,P = 1. 000 ). Conclusion There is no significant difference between unilateral ACP and bilateral ACP in 25 min during DHCA. But as the DHCA time extends, the effect of bilateral ACP will be better.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of conventional ultrasound, compression elastography (CE) and acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) in diff erential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors. Methods: A total of 98 patients with liver lesions were included in the study. The images of conventional ultrasound, CE and the values of virtual touch tissue quantiifcation (VTQ) of breast lesions were obtained. hTe diagnostic performance of conventional ultrasound, CE and ARFI were assessed by using pathology as the gold standard, and then evaluate the diagnosis effciency of these three approaches in differential diagnosing benign and malignant breast tumors. Results: The specificity, sensitivity and accuracy in the diagnosis of malignant breast tumors for conventional ultrasound were 80.0%, 81.1% and 81.7%, respectively, whereas for CE elastic score were 85.7%, 86.7% and 86.3%, respectively. With a cutoff value of 3.71 for the SR, the sensitivity, speciifcity, accuracy in diagnosis of malignant breast tumors were 97.1%, 83.3% and 88.4%, respectively. With a cutoff value of 3.78 m/s for VTQ, the sensitivity, speciifcity, accuracy in diagnosis of malignant breast tumors were 94.3%, 91.7% and 92.6%, respectively. The difference in diagnosis efficiency among ARFI, CE and conventional ultrasound in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors was signiifcant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Conventional ultrasound, CE and ARFI are all useful for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors.

Objective To study the geometric difference between six different ITV generation methods from 4DCT for patients with non?small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) treated with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy technique ( SABR) . Methods Between Dec. 2013 and Mar. 2014,16 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients underwent imaging with 4DCT scans. The MI and DI index were evaluated between six ITV generation methods:combining GTV from all 10 respiratory phases ( ITV10 );combining GTV from four respiratory phases, including two extreme phases ( 0% and 50%) plus two intermediate phases ( 20% and 70%) ( ITVYeo ) which was proposed by Seung?Gu Yeo of Soonchunhyang University;combining GTV from two extreme phases ( ITVEI+EE ) . And combining GTV from five odd phases (10%,30%,50%,70%,90%)(ITVodd).Accordingly the ITVEVEN which was combined from the remaining five even phases (20%,40%,60%,80%,0%),and ITVAVG,ITVMIP were contoured from two reconstructed 4DCT sequences,finally,a method which was not sensitive to the tumor volume and motion characteristic was selected for clinical use. Data were compared using a variance analysis followed by Student?Newman?Keulsa test both in same group or between groups. At the same time, the volume and the three dimensional movements of the tumor, the relativity of MI and DI were analyzed by Multi?parameter regression analysis. Results The mean (range) tumor motion (RLR,RAP,RCC,and R3D) are 3. 5 mm (1. 4?8. 4 mm),4. 5 mm (1. 1?8. 6 mm),9. 5 mm (0?10 mm),12. 3 mm (2. 5?55. 3 mm) respectively. The IGTVx volume are Underestimated by 25. 7%,35. 6%,17. 9%,12. 8%,3. 6%,4. 8%( P=0. 000) respectively. The MI index comparisons between six ITV generation methods and ITV10 showed statistical significance:0. 69,0. 62,0. 80, 0. 86,0. 93,0. 91 ( P=0. 006 ) . The DI index showed no statistical significance:0. 98, 0. 98, 0. 97, 0. 97, 0. 99,0. 98(P=0. 130).The tumor size and motion amplitude were certified not the independent factors for the MI index of ITVodd and ITVEVEN . Conclusions IGTVODD/EVEN based on odd or even 4DCT phases is not sensitive to the tumor size or motion characteristic and is proved to have a good marching with ITV10 meanwhile maintaining a reasonable contouring efficiency,it can be recommend to the institutions which was not equipped with the deformable registration systems.

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), a redox modulation tool, is capable of inhibiting a wide spectrum of cancers and has thus been proposed as an emerging onco-therapy. However, with incremental successes consecutively reported on the anticancer efficacy of CAP, no consensus has been made on the types of tumours sensitive to CAP due to the different intrinsic characteristics of the cells and the heterogeneous design of CAP devices and their parameter configurations. These factors have substantially hindered the clinical use of CAP as an oncotherapy. It is thus imperative to clarify the tumour types responsive to CAP, the experimental models available for CAP-associated investigations, CAP administration strategies and the mechanisms by which CAP exerts its anticancer effects with the aim of identifying important yet less studied areas to accelerate the process of translating CAP into clinical use and fostering the field of plasma oncology.

Objective:
To assess the outcomes and toxic effects of 5-day actinomycin D (Act-D) salvage therapy and to explore the predictors of Act-D resistance in patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN)who failed 5-day methotrexate (MTX) chemotherapy.
Methods:
This retrospective study analyzed patients with low-risk GTN administered Act-D salvage therapy after failing MTX chemotherapy at Women's Hospital, School of Medicine Zhejiang University between January 2000 and December 2015. The clinical parameters of these patients were collected and analyzed.
Results:
The final analysis included 89 cases. Of these, 73 cases (82.02%) responded to salvage Act-D. The remaining 16 resistant cases were switched to etoposide, MTX, Act-D/ cyclophosphamide, and vincristine chemotherapy and achieved complete remission. Serum human chorionic gonadotrophin levels before Act-D salvage therapy (hCG Act-D )in the Act-Dresistant cases were significantly higher than those in the Act-D responders (median 605 vs.103 IU/L, p=0.009). However, the range of hCGAct-D values in Act-D responders was wider than that in Act-D-resistant cases (5.76–16,664 IU/L vs. 11.43–6,732 IU/L). Thus, assigning a general cut-off value was difficult considering the individual setting. Except for 2 cases requiring other salvage regimens due to Act-D toxicity, 97.80% of cases (89/91) tolerated the toxicity. During at least 1-year follow-up, the survival rate was 100.00% and no case developed recurrence.
Conclusion
Based on the good therapeutic effect and tolerable toxicity, we recommend Act-D salvage therapy for all patients with low-risk GTN who fail primary MTX chemotherapy.The higher serum hCG levels before Act-D salvage therapy may be associated with resistance to this treatment.

Previous research on traditional Chinese medicine tongue inspection has mainly focused on its development,clinical application,and objectification,ignoring the fundamental question of "why tongue inspection is important in traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis" and neglecting the dominant role of traditional Chinese medicine brain thinking activities during diagnosis. Therefore,applying modern cognitive neuroscience technology to explore the impact of tongue inspection information on traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic thinking from an empirical research perspective may open up a new path for future tongue inspection research. This article proposes the combined application of eye tracking and event-related potential technology,drawing on the experimental paradigm of text reading inference correction in cognitive psychology,to collect eye movement and electroencephalogram data of participants induced by changes in tongue information during the reading process of traditional Chinese medicine medical records. This method can achieve synchronous observation of the focus areas and electroencephalogram signals of the subjects during the reading process,and provide cognitive scientific evidence for "why tongue inspection is important in traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis" through statistical data analysis. This research approach integrates the theories,techniques,and methods of traditional Chinese medicine and cognitive science,and is of great significance for developing cognitive thinking research in traditional Chinese medicine.
