Aim To establish a simple, rapid and accurate electroanalytical method for water soluble porphyrin meso-tetrakis-(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TPPS4);to clarify the reaction between water soluble porphyrins and bovine serum albumin (BSA);and to determine the interaction of TPPS4 with BSA in the absence of presence of cyclodextrins (CDs) , separately. Methods Three methods including LSV,UV spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy bad been employed to the relevant experiments. The way of employing three methods at the same time could make the experiment results more reliable. Results In the supporting electrolyte of NaH2 PO4-Na2 HPO4 ( pH 7. 18 ), a sensitive reduction peak of TPPS4 was found by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), the peak potential (Ep) was-0. 70 V (vs SCE). The relationship between the second derivative peak of LSV (ip") and the concentration of TPPS4 was linear from 1.0 × 10-7mol·L-1 to 1.0 × 10-5mol· L-1,the square of correlation coefficients (r2) were 0. 998 3 and 0. 999 3, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 0. 56% ( n = 5 ). The mean recovery of TPPS4 was 99.59%. In NH4C1-NH3· H2O buffers (pH 9.05), it was proved that BSA and TPPS4 could interact with each other and form 1:1 TPPS4-BSA supramolecular system. Moreover, the interaction between TPPS4 and BSA had been investigated by adding cyclodextrins (CDs). The interaction of TPPS4 with BSA was facilitated both by hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HP-3-CD) and sulforbutylether-β-CD (SBE-3-CD). Conclusion An electroanalytical method for TPPS4 has been established by LSV. The porphyrin drugs included by CDs could react with protein existing inside the human body easier. The consequences of this article also show that CDs will play important role in controlling and releasing the porphyrin drugs.

Objective To explore the CTV to PTV external expansion boundary and the effect of the dose of normal lung tissue under different fixed modes by a comparative analysis of combined body position and thermoplastic film fixed set-up error of radiation therapy for lung cancer. Methods From October 2016 to March 2018, the patients who received chest radiology at the Tangshan people's hospital were enrolled as subjects retrospectively divided into two groups, including 50 patients with lung cancer radiotherapy with combined body position fixation, and 40 patients with lung cancer with thermoplastic film fixation. The two groups of patients drew the target areas in accordance with the unified standard, and the set-up error of left and right, up and down, front and rear ( x, y, z axis) were recorded respectively after 1 time/week cone CT( CBCT) matched with the planned CT image and analyzed by t test. According to the MPTV =2. 5Σ+0. 7δ, CTV to PTV external expansion boundary in the combined body position group were calculated. And the V5、V20 and V30 of two groups of patients were calculated and analyzed by TPS system. Results The set-up error of the combined body position group and thermoplastic film group were respectively (1. 00 ± 0. 58) mm and (3. 28 ± 0. 43) mm on the x axis, (1. 42 ± 0. 28) mm on the y axis and (4. 03 ± 0. 41) mm, (1. 06 ± 0. 44) mm and (3. 18 ± 0. 34) mm on the z axis. The set-up errors of the two groups were statistically significant on x, y and z axis( t= -20. 740, -35. 596, -25. 015,P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in set-up errors between the central and peripheral lung cancer patients and between left and right lung cancer patients(P>0. 05). Through the MPTV =2. 5Σ+0. 7δ, CTV to PTV external expansion boundary in the combined body position fixation group was 2. 906 , 3. 746 and 2. 958 mm on x, y and z axis respectively. The comparison between group A and B showed that the mean values of V5 , V20 and V30 in group B were reduced by 1. 5%, 3. 1% and 4. 8% respectively compared with group A. Conclusions The combined body position technique can improve the accuracy of lung cancer patients after radiation therapy,and further reduce the boundary of CTV to PTV, which is of certain value to reduce the occurrence of radiation pneumonitis.

Objective To study the dose volume histogram ( DVH ) difference of target and organs at risk in intensity-modulated radiation therapy ( IMRT ) planning of cervical cancer based on the interquartile range. Methods A total of 22 cervical cancer patients′ IMRT plans were retrospectively analyzed. Five groups of DVH curves of PTV and OARs ( bladder, rectum, left and right femoral heads) were derived from the Pinnacle3 planning system. The mean DVH curves and interquartile range of volume ( IQRvol ) as a function of dose were calculated from each group′s DVH curve. Results The maximum volume variation for PTV reached at IQRvol(54. 03 Gy) =6. 95%, the volume of the target reached by the prescription dose was ( 96. 43 ± 1. 63 )%. The maximum volume variation for bladder reached at IQRvol (17. 24 Gy) = 14. 62%. V40 and V30 for bladder were ( 32. 79 ± 7. 06 )% and ( 56. 47 ± 9. 94 )%, respectively. Rectal DVH showed the largest difference at 35. 92 Gy, with the quartile of 19. 94%, the V40 and V30 for rectum were (30. 17 ± 10. 80)% and (58. 16 ± 11. 99)%, respectively. The difference in the bladder and the rectum was statistically significant (z = -6. 59, P < 0. 05). The maximum volume variation of left femoral head reached at IQRvol(16. 06 Gy) =31. 47%. The maximum volume variation of right femoral head was reached at IQRvol (17. 47 Gy) =32. 82%. There was no significant difference in IQRvol between right and left femoral head (P>0. 05). Conclusions Quartile range curve of DVHs can be used to analyze the deviations of DVH curves of PTV and OARs, and provide guidance for automatic planning optimization parameter setting.

The 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO), previously known as the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor, is predominately localized to the outer mitochondrial membrane in steroidogenic cells. Brain TSPO expression is relatively low under physiological conditions, but is upregulated in response to glial cell activation. As the primary index of neuroinflammation, TSPO is implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of numerous neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). In this context, numerous TSPO-targeted positron emission tomography (PET) tracers have been developed. Among them, several radioligands have advanced to clinical research studies. In this review, we will overview the recent development of TSPO PET tracers, focusing on the radioligand design, radioisotope labeling, pharmacokinetics, and PET imaging evaluation. Additionally, we will consider current limitations, as well as translational potential for future application of TSPO radiopharmaceuticals. This review aims to not only present the challenges in current TSPO PET imaging, but to also provide a new perspective on TSPO targeted PET tracer discovery efforts. Addressing these challenges will facilitate the translation of TSPO in clinical studies of neuroinflammation associated with central nervous system diseases.
