Objective:To study the dose measurements methods of neutron andγ-ray for 252Cf neutron after-load radiotherapy machine. Methods:To measure the neutron-γmixed field with one ion chamber that have the similar sensitivities of neutron andγ-ray, another ion chamber that only have sensitivities for γ-ray, little sensitivity for neutron. Verification measurement results with calculated values. Results:Calculate key parameters, measure neutron andγ-ray dose rate at the position of 2.5cm, 5cm, 7.5cm and 10cm from the 252Cf, the Maximum deviation is-5.22%compared with calculated values. Conclusion:The method of twin ion chamber can measure the neutron andγ-ray mixed field dose.

Unilateral neglect is one of the common advanced neurological deficits of stroke. This article highlights the post-stroke definition of unilateral neglect, incidence, sites of lesion resulting in neglect, possible mechanisms and clinical manifestation. It overviews the typing and complications of unilateral neglect, and points out that the significance on the assessment and treatment of unilateral neglect.

Unilateral neglect is a common and advanced nervous disorder of stroke, well-recognized predictor of poor neural functional outcome following stroke. There are several rehabilitation Methods including sensation input, visual scanning training, vestibular stimulation, head and trunk rotation, suggestive therapy, environmental adaptation and activities of daily living training, and some new therapies including prism adaptation, constraint-induced movement therapy, eye patching and transcranial magnetic stimulation developed in the past few years, which to some extent are effective on the treatment of neglect.

Objective:To explore if there was a correlation between TNFAIP8 and gastric tumor drug resistance. Methods:We collected 47 cases of neoadjuvant chemotherapy,and detected the expression of TNFAIP8 in their tissues before and after surgery by im-munohistochemistry. Compared the expression of TNFAIP8 between SGC7901 cell and its cisplatin resistance cell SGC7901-DDP by Western blot,and then we used siRNA technology to decreased its expression,continued to test the susceptibility to cisplatin through MTT. Results:The expression of TNFAIP8 between pre-neoadjuvant and after-neoadjuvant had no difference, but the expression of chemotherapy effectiveness was lower than chemotherapy invalidness(P<0. 05);the expression of SGC7901-DDP cell was also higher than SGC7901 cell; the expression of TNFAIP8 decreased apparently through plasmid transfection of SGC7901-DDP cell, MTT test showed the fewer expression of TNFAIP8 could increase the susceptibility to cisplatin(P<0. 05). Conclusion: TNFAIP8 was involved in chemotherapy resistance of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasonically guided radiofrequency (RF) thermal ablation of hepatic carcinoma (HC) with a clustered electrode. Methods Clinical records on 245 consecutively admitted HC patients who underwent RF tissue ablation therapy were analyzed. The tumor supplying blood flow, changes of tumor size, clinical manifestation, and AFP level were analyzed. Results AFP value decreased significantly in 50% of patients one week after ablation. Tumors less than 5*!cm in diameter became avascularized 1 to 6 months after the therapy, and it was noted that all tumors shrank in size after the therapy. For tumors more than 5*!cm in diameter, RF ablation was used in conjunction with intraarterial chemotherapy and embolization. Conclusion Ultrasound guided RF thermal ablation is an effective, safe, minimally invasive technique for treating malignant hepatic tumors.

Objective To study the quality testing of dose delivery system of the active spot scanning proton and heavy ion accelerator,in order to provide the reference for the quality control of related equipment.Methods In the four therapy rooms,both 0.6 cc chambers and Gafchromic EBT3 films were used,respectively,to test the accelerator for dose reproducibility,dose linearity,dose stability,depth dose distribution,beam scanning position deviation and radiation field uniformity in each therapy room.Results Dose reproducibility variation coefficients are all less than 1.5％,dose linearity's maximum deviations less than 2％,dose stability's deviations less than 2％,depth dose distribution stability within 2％,beam scanning position deviation less than 1 mm,consistency of irradiation field's deviation less than 2 mm,and flatness within ± 5％.Conclusions The indicators about quality testing for the active spot scanning proton and heavy ion accelerator are all in line with the requirements of IEC standards draft.

Objective To develop the method for testing the consistency of irradiation field produced by the active spot scanning proton and heavy ion accelerator.Methods Calibration of the EBT3 films were carried out with the calibrated ion beam to establish the dose calibration curve.According to the different proton and carbon ion energies (proton:94.29,150.68,212.62 McV;carbon ion:175.99,283.43,412.54 MeV/u),EBT3 films were located in the solid water phantoms in each therapy room,respectively.Finally,the irradiated EBT3 films were scanned and the radiation field size's deviation and flatness were analyzed.Results In different conditions,radiation field size's deviations were all less than 2 mm and the flatness parameters were all controlled below the 5％.Conclusions EBT3 films can be used to test the active spot scanning proton and heavy ion accelerator's radiation field uniformity.

Statins not only reduce the incidence of ischemic stroke but also have the neuroprotective effect on ischemic stroke. Experimental studies in recent years have found that the neuroprotective effect of statins is achieved by multiple mechanisms, in which the regulation of microvascular endothelial barrier is a new mechanism. This article reviews the advances in re-search on this mechanism.

Objective To observe the characteristic, mechanisms and the change of pathophysiology about thoracic explosive injury from an explosive device. Methods Seventy-three millimetres prefabricated steel-ball bomb was used to be the center of explosion. According to the distance from each group to the center of explosion, 30 sheep were randomly divided into 5 groups. The injuries of thoracic wall, lung and surrounding organs were observed from fragments and blast wave. Results The mortality of thoracic explosive injury on the ground testing was 56.7%.Most of fragment wounds were blind wound. The track of wounds was often complicated and curved. The major associated injuries were myocardial contusion, splenic-hepatic rupture and gastric-enteric rupture. There were much severe pulmonary hemorrhage and lung edema. The parameters of trauma were well correlated with the severity of thoracic injury.　Conclusion The parameters of trauma were well correlated with the severity of thoracic injury. The characteristic of thoracic injury from explosive device was more complicated and severe.
