Multiple modality treatment has been adapted for the treatment of various cancers,the outcome has been dramatically improved,but some of unique side effects due to the modalities like chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy have been observed in the clinic. Radiation recall dermatitis(RRD) is one of the side effects. In this paper,the etiology,clinical features,diagnosis,treatment and related factors of the radiation recall dermatitis are discussed.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application of the Dexmedetomidine utend drug induced sleep endoscopy. METHOD: Forty-four OSAHS patients diagnosed by PSG randomly were divided into group A (Dexmedetomidine group) and group B (Propofol group), each group of 22 cases. Group A: pump the Dexmedetomidine (1 microg/kg) over 15 minutes. Once the patient reached a satisfactory level of sedation, the electronic nasopharyngoscope was introduced into the nasal cavity group B: the propofol (2 mg/kg) was intravenous injected, use the same exmination after the object patients falling asleep. If not, double the injection dose of the two group. Observe and record the patient vital signs, EEG and sleep time, and handle the complications. RESULT: The study was successfully completed both in group A and B. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) in group B was lower than group A during the examination significantly (P < 0.05). The time falling to sleep in two groups were (13.4 +/- 2.5) min and (6.6 +/- 1.2) min, and the time in group A was much longer than that in group B. The lowest oxygen saturation during the examination in two groups were 0.835 +/- 0.096 and 0.691 +/- 0.095, and the difference was statistically significant. There was no incidence of adverse reactions in two groups. CONCLUSION Compared with propofol, Dexmedetomidine is a safer sleep-inducing drug, and it can be used for clinical sleep endoscopy.

Objective To evaluate the result of radiotherapy for primary cardiac neoplasm.Methods A patients with primary malignant mucinous Schwannoma in th left ventriclular wall had been treated by conservative surgery. He,then,received fast neutron radiotherapy one year after wards. Radiotherapy was given through opposing anterior and posterior fields of 7.8 cm?7.8 cm. The total radiation dose was 1?004.95 ncGy with 11 fractions of 100 ncGy in 48 days.Results The function of the patient's heart recovered after treatment. The patients has been followed for 5 years without evidence of recurrence or distance metastased. Conclusion Fast neutron radiotherapy is effective in the treatment of primary cardiac neoplasms by surgery combined with postoperative radiotherapy. It could improve the prognosis of patients with primary cardiac neoplasms.

Objective To investigate the signaling transduction mechanisms of inhibiting effect of radiation on vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC).Methods Cell culture in vitro and semi quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT PCR) were used to observe the dynamic change of VSMC focal adhesion kinase(FAK) on the mRNA expression level and result of the control group as compared to those of the irradiation ones at 2.5,10,15,20 Gy.Results Dose of 2～20?Gy irradiation down regulated the expression of FAK mRNA. At hour 48 after 2～20?Gy irradiation,the FAK mRNA expressions were all less than the control ones(F=364.21,P

BACKGROUND: The main difficulties of whole-cell patch clamP are cell culture and whole-call current recording. OBJECTIVE: To reduce the difficulty of patch-clamp experiment by combining acute cell isolation with current separation technique. METHODS: A total of 40 wistar rats aged 4-7 days, irrespective of genders, were selected. The pallium of wistar rats were cut into slices with 400-600 μm, rested for 1 hour in artificial cerebrospinal fluid with gas mixture, simultaneously put in oxygen. The brain tissues were placed into artificial cerebrospinal fluid containing 16 u/mL(type X) and 2 u/mL(type XIV) proteinase, incubated for 60 minutes, and cleared the digestive enzyme. Under the whole-cell voltage clamp mode, the potential was hold at -80mV, depolarizing pulse stimulation from -60 mV to 60 mV, 10 mV step and 160 ms width. The total Tran membranes current was recorded, and then 70 mmol/LCsCI, 70mmol/L CsF was 11 μmol/L Na~+ channel blockers tetrodotoxin, 30 mmol/L tetraethylammonium, 1 mmol/L 4-AP was successively added into extracellular fluid. The inward sodium current, transient outward potassium current and delayed rectifier potassium current was recorded, and then the result was analyzed using clampfit. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①Cell morphological observation; ②Whole-ceil current recording;③Inward sodium currentrecording; ④Outward potassium current recording.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The cell had clearly three-dimensional structure, smooth surface and whole neurodendrite or neuraxon. The cell viability could maintained for 8-10 hours at 25 ℃ temperature. The added 11 tetrodotoxin in extracellular fluid could block sodium Current. The outward potassium current could be blocked by tetraethylammonium with 30 mmol/L and 4-AP with 1 mmol/L. The calls harvested by modified rapid dissociation have good functions. Using current separation method, only specific blockers are needed, without extracellular fluid or electrode solution replacing, which can record the inward sodium current, transient outward potassium current, as well as delayed rectifier potassium current. This method can obviously improve the work efficiency than traditional one.

Objective:To explore the correlation between serum cystatin C (Cys C)content and renal function in aged patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:Clinical data of 237 aged BPH patients were retro-spectively analyzed.According to international prostate symptom score (IPSS),they were divided into mild group (n=25),moderate group (n=67)and severe group (n= 145);another 110 patients without prostatic hyperplasia were enrolled as normal control group in the same period.Levels of serum Cys C,blood urea nitrogen (BUN),ser-um creatinine (Scr),fasting blood glucose (FBG),blood lipids and prostate-specific antigen (PSA)were measured in all groups,and prostate volume (PV)was calculated.Results:Compared with normal control group,PV signifi-cantly rose [(18.94±4.62)ml vs.(40.09±12.72)ml],maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax)significantly reduced [(18.67±4.60)ml/s vs.(9.93±3.54)ml/s],and serum Cys C level significantly increased [(1.03±0.23)mg/L vs.(1.53±0.61)mg/L]in BPH group,P <0.01 all.Subgroup analysis indicated that serum Cys C levels in mild, moderate and severe group [(1.32±0.45)mg/L,(1.42±0.32)mg/L,(1.61 ±0.64)mg/L]were significantly higher than that of normal control group,P <0.01 all;and that of severe group was significantly higher than those of mild group and moderate group (P <0.01 or P <0.05).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that serum Cys C level was positively correlated with of age,SBP,DBP,FBG,BUN,Scr,PV and IPSS (r=0.179~0.580,P <0.05 or P <0.01),and inversely correlated with Qmax (r=-0.243,P <0.05)in BPH patients.Conclusion:Serum Cys C level significantly rise,and related with BPH degree,correlated with renal function in aged BPH patients,which can be used to predict renal function of these patients.
