Objective To evaluate the sensitivity of patient-specific volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) quality assurance (QA) to minor multileaf collimator (M LC) positioning errors.Methods Systematic multileaf collimator (MLC) positioning errors (+0.5 mm,+ 1 mm and +2 mm) were introduced into the clinical VMAT patient plans with 2 types of MLC positioning errors:systematic MLC gap width errors and systematic MLC shift errors for 6 cases,including 3 cases with prostatic cancer and 3 cases with nasopharyngeal cancer.The planar dose distributions of the original and modified plans were measured using ArcCheck array.The coincidence between the measured results and the calculated results was evaluated using both absolute distance-to-agreement (AD-DTA) analysis with 3％/3 mm and 2％/2 mm criteria.Results The average passing rate of the 6 original VMAT plans was 96.0％ with the ADDTA criteria of 3％/3 mm which was commonly adopted in clinical practice.For the MLC gap width errors of + 1 mm,+2 mm,and-2 mm and the MLC shift errors of 2 mm,the drop levels in average passing rate with the AD-DTA criteria of 3％/3 mm were 8.8％,15.5％,6.1％ and 7.9％,respectively.The + 2 mm MLC positioning errors and + 1 mm MLC gap width errors could be detected by the patient-specific VMAT QA procedure.The AD-DTA criteria of 2％/2 mm was more sensitive compared with the criteria of 3％/3 mm.Conclusions Patient-specific VMAT QA is not sensitive enough to detect the systematic MLC positioning errors within 1 mm.Additional MLC QA is needed to guarantee the accuracy of VMAT delivery.

The stability of melittin in different solvents (water, deoxygenated water, physiological saline, PBS, 50% ethanol, ethanol, glycerol)was studied and the results showed that the stability of melittin is not influenced by light, temperature and pH in 50% ethanol, which melittin can be completed dissolved when compared with ethanol and glycerol, in such, 50% ethanol was chosen as solvent storage when measured content of melittin. Then the effect of different concentrations of PBS, the pH of PBS and rat skin ho- mogenates were tested, and the results showed that melittin was degraded rapidly at low concentration solution and low ionic strength. Increasing pH of PBS and rat skin homogenate can accelerate the degradation of melittin. These researches provide an experimental ba- sis for further study of melittin.

In order to investigate the characteristics of transdermal delivery of ferulic acid under the treated of microneedle arrays and the influence on permeability of rat skin capillaries, improved Franz-cells were used in the transdermal delivery experiment with the rat skin of abdominal wall and the length of microneedle arrays, different insertion forces, retention time were studied in the influence of characteristics of transdermal delivery of FA. The amount of FA was determined by HPLC system. Intravenous injection Evans blue and FA was added after microneedle arrays treated. Established inflammation model was built by daubing dimethylbenzene. The amount of Evans blue in the rat skin was read at 590 nm wavelength with a Multiskan Go microplate reader. Compared with passive diffusion group the skin pretreated with microneedle arrays had a remarkable enhancement of FA transport (P <0.01). The accumulation of FA increased with the enhancement of insertion force as to as the increase of retention time. Microneedle arrays with different length had a remarkable enhancement of FA transport, but was not related to the increase of the length. The research of FA on the reduce of permeability of rat skin capillaries indicated that the skin pretreated with microneedle arrays could reduce the content of Evans blue in the skins of rat significantly compared with the untreated group. The permeation rate of ferulic acid transdermal delivery had remarkable increase under the treated of microneedle arrays and the length of microneedle arrays ,the retention time so as to the insertion force were important to the transdermal delivery of ferulic acid.

Aim To investigate whether EGCG treat-ment ameliorates cognitive deficits in APP/PS1 trans-genic mice and, whether it has the ameliorating effect of p75 NTR signaling to neuronal apoptosis in the hippo-campus of APP/PS1 mice. Methods Morris water maze test and locomotivity test were used to predict be-havioral changes; further TUNEL staining and Fluoro-Jade B staining were applied to confirm the neuronal apoptosis and neuronal degeneration;Western blot was employed to detect protein expression levels of p75 NTR signaling in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice. Re-sults EGCG treatment dramatically ameliorated the cognitive impairments, and inhibited the neuronal ap-optosis in the APP/PS1 mice. Moreover, EGCG treat-ment dramatically inhibited the p75 NTR signaling by de-creasing the p75ICD expression, JNK2 phosphorylation, and cleaved-caspase 3 expression. Conclusion EGCG treatment dramatically ameliorates the cognitive impairments, and inhibits the neuronal apoptosis by in-hibiting the p75NTR signaling.

BACKGROUND:n mandibular posterior dental implantation,injury to the inferior alveolar nerve sometimes occurs because of mandibular canal going across mandibular body.This restricts the use of dental implantation at this site.Therefore,it is essential to understand the anatomic structure of inferior alveolar nerve canal in mandibular posterior dental implantation.OBJECTIVE:To observe the intramandibular course of and anatomic structure of inferior alveolar nerve canal.METHODS:Fifteen adult complete mandible specimens with teeth and 4 fresh mandible arterial infusion specimens were researched.All the specimens had complete dentition and there were no obvious absorption in alveolar bone.The course of inferior alveolar nerve canal and its dimension including transverse and longitudinal diameters of mandibular canal and the distance between mandibular canal and mandible each side (superior,inferior,buccal and lingual side) were measured in 15 adult mandibles with teeth.The relationship between blood vessels and nerve of the canal was observed in 4 fresh arterial infusion specimens.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The distance between the medial border of the mandibular canal and the lingual wall was shorter than that of the lateral wall of the mandibular canal to the buccal wall (P < 0.01);The length from the upper wall of mandibiular canal to the top of the alveolar ridge was longer than that of the inferior border of the mandibular canal to the inferior border of the mandible (P < 0.01).The longitudinal diameter was smaller than the transverse diameter (P < 0.05),namely,the cross section of the mandibular canal was an ellipse with a longer longitudinal diameter.There was no significant difference between the transverse and longitudinal diameters of the canal in the anterior and posterior teeth region of the mandible.The inferior alveolar nerve and its associated blood vessels were located within a nervous vascular bunch in the mandibular canals.In every fresh specimen the blood vessels lay above the nerve.There were small branches of blood vessels surrounding thenerve.The mandibular canal ran towards the lingual side and was close to the inferior margin of the mandible.
