Objective To study the dosimetry for copper compensator in IMRT.Methods 10 patients (3 nasopharyngeal carcinoma,4 esophageal cancer,3 colorectal cancer) from IMRT plans made in Oncentra Planning System enrolled in this study.The fluence matrices of each plan were converted into compensator thickness matrices based on attenuation coefficient of copper under 6 MV radiation ray which was measured with ion chamber.While irradiating the homogenous phantom with the intensity modulated plans performed by copper compensator,film was used to measure the planar dose.In the end,γanalysis was carried out between the measured and calculated planar doses with the criteria of 3％ DD/3 mm DTA.Paired t test to MU differences of MLC plans and copper compensator plans.Results The γanalysis results showed the planar dose pass rates of 10 plans lie between 90.2％ and 98.2％,which means the IMRf technique based on copper compensator can meet the clinical needs.The MU for copper compensator IMRT plans is less than the MLC IMRT plans (873.9 vs.975.1,P =0.005).Conclusions Compared to conventional IMRT based on MLC,copper compensator has the advantage of lower requirement of hardware and lower scattering dose in patient.Copper compensator can meet the needs of clinical practice.

·Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP) are common outer retinal degenerative problems, which are also the predominant causes of most blinding retinal diseases. Retinal prosthesis is a promising solution for such photoreceptor degeneration diseases.Most of current concepts for a retinal prosthesis are based on neuronal electrical stimulation. In the past twenty years, retinal prosthesis has been developed in two different directions: epiretinal prosthesis and subretinal prosthesis. Each prosthesis technique has its advantages and disadvantages. For epiretinal prosthesis, it is easier to be implanted and has the advantage of keeping most of the electronics in the vitreous cavity, off the retinal surface, which greatly helps in dissipating the heat generated by the implant device. In this paper, a brief overview of retinal prostheses concepts is introduced. After that, several important aspects of epiretinal electrical stimulation will be discussed. Moreover, some practical epiretinal prosthesis devices developed by researchers in United States, Germany and Japan in the past have been reviewed. We hope that the devices will be used widely in the near future.

Objective To investigate the effects of internal and external biliary drainage on liver regeneration of the obstructive jaundice rats after partial hepatectomy.Methods The rat models of obstructive jaundice with 70％ liver resection were successfully constructed.All the 120 rats were randomly divided into the control group:rats received middle and left hepatic lobectomy; internal drainage group:a drainage tube was placed between the dilated bile duct and the duodenum; external drainage group:a drainage tube was placed in the dilated bile duct.There were 40 rats in each group.Rats in the internal and external drainage groups received middle and left hepatic lobectomy at postoperative day 7.The blood and hepatic tissues were collected at postoperative day 0,1,2,4,12,24,48,72 hours after operation,and the rate of liver regeneration and mitotic index were determined.The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in the hepatic tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry,and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected by ELISA,and the mRNA expressions of TNF-α and IL-6 were detected by RT-PCR.All data were analyzed using the one way analysis of variance or SNK test.Results Within 72 hours after partial hepatectomy,the rate of liver regeneration of the internal drainage group was 94.86％± 12.72％,which was significant higher than 62.39％±8.01％ of the external drainage group and 45.77％ ± 5.41％ of the control group (F =33.62,P ＜ 0.05).The mitotoic index and PCNA levels of the 3 groups had obvious increase at postoperative hour 12,and the mitotoic index and PCNA levels of the external drainage group reached peak at postoperative hour 24,which were 24.47％ ± 4.01％ and 88.1％ ± 9.2％,respectively,the mitotoic index and PCNA levels of the control group and the external drainage group reached peak at postoperative hour 48,which were 15.80％ ± 1.08％,58.3％ ± 5.8％ and 18.40％ ± 1.12％,70.2％ ± 6.9％,respectively.The mitotoic index and PCNA levels of the internal drainage group were significantly higher than those of the control group and the external drainage group (P ＜ 0.05).The expression of STAT3 expression of the internal drainage group reached peak at postoperative hour 4,which was 42.6％ ± 3.6％ ;the expression of STAT3 expression of the control group and the external drainage group reached peak at postoperative hour 12,which were 22.9％ ± 2.0％ and 29.2％± 3.7％.The peak level of STAT3 of the internal drainage group was significantly higher than those of the control group and the external drainage group (P ＜0.05).The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 of the internal drainage group reached peak at postoperative hour 12,which were (227 ±23)U/L and (256 ± 32)U/L; the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 of the control group and the external drainage group reached peak at postoperative hour 24,which were (309 ± 41) U/L and (388 ± 40) U/L,(287 ± 30)U/L and (346± 33)U/L,respectively.The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 of the internal drainage group at postoperative hour 0,1,2,4,12,24,48,72 were significantly lower than those of the control group and the external drainage group (P ＜ 0.05).The expressions of TNF-α mRNA of the control group,internal drainage group and external drainage group reached peak at postoperative hour 4,which were 0.92 ±0.14,0.39 ±0.05,0.80 ±0.15,respectively.The expressions of IL-6 mRNA reached peak at postoperative hour 12,which were 0.79 ± 0.07,0.38 ± 0.06,0.63 ±0.10,respectively.The expressions of TNF-α mRNA and IL-6 mRNA of the internal drainage group at postoperative hour 0,1,2,4,12,24,48,72 were significantly lower than those of the control group and the external drainage group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Both internal and external drainage can improve liver regeneration of obstructive jaundice rats following partial hepatectomy,while the effect of internal drainage is superior.Internal biliary drainage has influence on the expression of STAT3 by decreasing the levels of TNF-α and IL-6,and help to improve liver regeneration of obstructive jaundice rats following partial hepatectomy.

Objective To investigate the level of chemotactic factors(CXCL5 and CXCL8)in hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis tissue.Methods Hepatic tissues were obtained from 9 patients with hepatic hemangioma (hepatic hemangioma group),10 patients with liver fibrosis(liver fibrosis group)and 11 patients with liver cirrhosis(1iver cirrhosis group)at Nanfang Hospital from May 2008 to May 2009.The contents of CXCL5 and CXCL8 in hepatic tissue were assayed by ELISA.All data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA,Pearson rank correlation or Spearman correlation.Results The contents of CXCL5 and CXCL8 were(0.8±0.7)ng/g and(6.2±3.7)ng/g in hepatic hemangioma group,(2.0±2.0)ng/g and(11.6±3.5)ng/g in liver fibrosis group and (17.1±4.8)ng/g and(12.3±3.9)ng/g in liver cirrhosis group,with significant difference among the 3 groups (F=60.050,7.690,P＜0.05).The expression of CXCL5 was correlated with the content of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and prothrombin time(PT)(r=0.502,0.468,0.523,P＜0.05):the expression of CXCL8 was correlated with the content of ALT,AST.total bilirubin and PT(r=0.477,0.504,0.537,0.431,P＜0.05).Conclusions With the aggravation of hepatic fibrosis,the contents of CXCL5 and CXCL8 are increased with different patterns.The changes of CXCL5 and CXCL8 are related with the injury of liver,but the changes of CXCL5 and CXCL8 do not correspond with the degree of the injury of liver.

Objective To compare the diagnostic performance of prospective electrocardiogram (ECG)-gating 320-detectorcomputed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) versus retrospective ECG-gating CTCA. Methods 500consecutive patients suspected coronary artery disease with heart rate of less than 65 bpm were performed coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with prospective (group P)and retrospective (group R) ECG gating in turn. The image quality was divided into four levels. Success rates, effective radiation dose,image quality and diagnosis were evaluated. Results Success rates of examination in group P and R are100%.Mean patient radiation dose was significantly different in group P (3.28±1mSv) and R(14.36 ±2.3 mSv).131 and 142 of 3750 segments (250 patients x 15 segments per patient) were too small(1.5mm)tobe characterized in group P and R. 96. 51% (3619/3750) and 96.12% (3608/3750) characterized segments were not significantly different in group P and R. 95.09% segments received a score of 4 and 1.09% segments received a score of 3 in group P, while 95.23% and 0.74% in group R.The cause of 2 and 3 points in the two groups was motion artifact. Stair-step artifacts and images scored as 1were not found.Compared with CAG,the sensitivity,specificity,false positive andfalse negative value in group P(86. 49% ,98. 70% ,88. 89% ,98.38%) and R(83. 87% ,98.74% ,89. 65%,97.93%) were not significantly different. Conclusion Although the patient radiation exposure was significantly lower, the diagnostic performance of prospective ECG-gating 320-detector CTCA was comparable with that of retrospective ECG-gating 320-detector CTCA on patients with stable heart rates less than 65 bpm.

Objective Using CT perfusion (CTP) technique,to investigate the graft perfusion changes in patients with hepatic artery stenosis (HAS) with or without ischemic-type biliary lesions (ITBL) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).Methods Thirteen recipients with HAS received CTP scan of the liver,including 8 with ITBL and 5 without ITBL.For all patients,the diagnosis of HAS was made by CTA,and the diagnosis of ITBL by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography.CT perfusion indices were obtained,including hepatic artery perfusion (HAP),portal vein perfusion (PVP),total liver perfusion (TLP) and hepatic perfusion index (HPI).Results Of the 13 patients with HAS,mean HAP in patients with and without ITBL was 59.8 and 35.1 ml·min-1 ·100 ml-1 (P =0.021,two-tailed paired Student t test) ; mean PVP was 125.4 and 166.2 ml·min-1·100 m1-1 (P =0.016) ; mean TLP was 185.2 and 201.3 ml· min-1 · 100 ml-1 (P =0.306) ; and mean HPI was 33.6 and 18.2 (P =0.005),respectively.Conclusion Using CTP technique,liver perfusion changes were reflected by measuring CTP indices noninvasively.Compared to those without ITBL in this study,HAP and HPI in patients with ITBL were higher and PVP was lower,which may be contributed to biliary inflammation.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of femoral neck fracture fixed with 7.5mm QWIX screws and to find out risk factors for avascular necrosis of the femoral head postoperatively.Methods From January 2009 and March 2013, 53 patients underwent closed or open reduction of femoral neck fracture with 7.5mm QWIX screws.Healing process of fracture, complications of internal fixation, Harris hip score and avascular necrosis of the femoral head were followed up.The data reviewed were age, gender, injury patterns, fracture type, preoperative waiting time, reduction ways, reduction condition, and others.Unilateral and multivariate Logistic analysis were applied to identify factors for avascular necrosis of the femoral head.Results All patients were followed up for 2-5 years (mean, 3.4 years).There was no non-union at follow-up, and all the screws were in the original site without loosening, cut-out or penetration.Mean Harris score was 91.2 points (range, 68 to 100 points) 2 years after operation, including 42 excellent, 6 good, 1 fair and 4 poor results with the excellent-good rate of 91％.Four patients (8％) had avascular necrosis 12 to 15 months after operation.With Logistic regression analysis, fracture anatomic type was identified as the only factor for avascular necrosis of the femoral head.Conclusions The 7.5 mm QWIX fixation screw provides rigid fixation, high healing rate and low incidence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, appearing to be a good hardware to repair femoral neck fracture.Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is associated with the anatomic type of femoral neck fracture after operation.

1H NMR metabonomics approach was used to reveal the chemical difference of urine between patients with Xiao-Chaihu Tang syndrome (XCHTS) and healthy participants (HP). The partial least square method was used to establish a model to distinguish the patients with Xiao-Chaihu-Tang syndrome from the healthy controls. Thirty-four endogenous metabolites were identified in the 1H NMR spectrum, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis showed the urine of patients with Xiao-Chaihu Tang syndrome and healthy participants could be separated clearly. It is indicated that the metabolic profiling of patients with Xiao-Chaihu Tang syndrome was changed obviously. Fifteen metabolites were found by S-pot of OPLS-DA and VIP value. The contents of leucine, formic acid, glycine, hippuric acid and uracil increased in the urine of patients, while threonine, 2-hydroxyisobutyrate, acetamide, 2-oxoglutarate, citric acid, dimethylamine, malonic acid, betaine, trimethylamine oxide, phenylacetyl glycine, and uridine decreased. These metabolites involve the intestinal microbial balance, energy metabolism and amino acid metabolism pathways, which is related with the major symptom of Xiao-Chaihu Tang syndrome. The patients with Xiao-Chaihu Tang syndrome could be identified and predicted correctly using the established partial least squares model. This study could be served as the basis for the accurate diagnostic and reasonable administration of Xiao-Chaihu-Tang syndrome.
