Objective To investigate the set-up errors of super and middle part of esophageal cancer patients using cone-beam CT (CBCT) during intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT),hence determine various margins from CTV to PTV.The corresponding influence on the normal tissues (lung and spinal cord) was also discussed.Methods From December 2012 to December 2013,12 patients with upper and middle segment of esophageal cancer were chosen.Using their 60 sets of weekly acquired CBCT images prior to the treatment,the lateral,longitudinal,and vertical set-up errors of each patient were obtained.Based on these measured errors and the target motions,we adopted new margins to create new PTV.Then IMRT plans were created for the original PTV (5 mm margin in all directions on CTV) and new PTV respectively.On condition of the same target coverage (V95 ≥ 95％),the doses to lungs (V5,V20,V30,D) and spinal cord (D1 cm3) were compared statistically between the original and new plans.Results According to the 60 CBCT scans,the average left-right (RL),superior-inferior (SI),anterior-posterior (AP) set-up errors were (2.02 ± 1.74),(2.03 ± 1.93),and (2.02 ± 1.89) mm respectively.The margins were 5.6 mm (RL),8.5 mm (SI),and 4.7 mm (AP) for the upper esophagus and 6.2 mm (RL),11 mm (SI),and 5.0 mm (AP) for the middle esophagus.Comparison of both lungs and spinal cord suggested significant differences between the two plans (t =-8.23,-5.55,-4.66,-6.87,-4.67,P ＜0.05).Conclusions The margins from CTV to PTV should be created via CBCT-measured set-up errors and previous reports,which can be helpful for clinical treatment.

Objective To explore the association between C reactive protein (CRP)with prostatic cancer (PCa)and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods Retrospective analysis the 110 patients of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University In January 2010 to August 2012 whose TPSA>4 ng/ml,postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of 54 cases of prostate cancer,5 6 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia.Detected serum CRP levels by using transmission turbidim-etry and TPSA levels by using chemiluminescence immunoassay of 54 PCa and 56 BPH patients.According to the Gleason score,PCa patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk PCa two groups,the differences among high-risk PCa,low-risk PCa and BPH groups were analyzed by nonparametric statistics analysis.Results The CRP level of high-risk PCa was 4.20~2.12 mg/L,the CRP level of low-risk PCa was 1.90~0.91 mg/L and the CRP levels in BNP patients was 1.49±0.87 mg/L,the high-risk and low-risk PCa serum CRP level obviously higher than that of patients with BPH,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Serum CRP levels of PCa patients were increased significantly,espe-cially in high-risk PCa patients.

BACKGROUND:Medical stuff have significant impacts on the development of organ donation and transplantation, however, medical students present insufficient knowledge and ambivalent attitude towards organ donation and transplantation. OBJECTIVE:To perform a systemic review on the effectiveness of educational program intervention on medical students’ knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation and transplantation. METHODS:PubMed, WILEY ONLINE LIBRARY, ProQuest Health, Medline, EMbase, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases were ful y searched for the published literature of medical students receiving an educational program intervention on organ donation and transplantation. According to the inclusion criteria, randomized control ed trials and quasi-experimental study were evaluated with the standard of Joanna Briggs Institute. The GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) framework was used to guide the assessment of the methodological quality of the studies. The outcomes were mainly medical students’ knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation and transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Eight studies from three countries were summarized. The methods were employed in two studies of randomized control ed trials and quasi-experiment received a high quality rating, five studies received middle quality rating and one study received low quality rating. Educational program increased the knowledge in six studies, and changed the attitudes in six studies. Educational program intervention is a significant strategy to increase medical student’s knowledge about organ donation and transplantation. The majority of involved study are
quasi-experiment study, so more high-quality randomized control ed studies are needed.

Objective To verify the efficiency and stability of hydrogen-rich water preparation with hydrogen-rich rods. Methods ①Seven firenew hydrogen-rich rods were separately placed in seven plastic bottles, each filled with distilled water and soaked for 6 h, before the hydrogen concentration of the water was measured.This process was repeated 10 times.②After the hydrogen-rich rods with the strongest and weakest hydrogen product capacity were removed, the remaining 5 hydrogen-rich rods were placed separately into 5 plastic bottles filled with distilled water,put in a water bath pot at 20,40 and 60℃, respectively, and kept for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h, respectively.Then, the hydrogen concentration, oxidation-reduction potential(ORP),and dissolved oxygen concentration(DO) were measured at various time points.③In order to determine the hydrogen emission rate from the hydrogen-rich water, the hydrogen-rich rods were constantly kept in some samples and the others were removed.All the sample bottle caps were kept open during the experimental process, and the hydrogen concentration was measured at such time points as 0, 10 and 30 min, 1, 2, 5, 12, 24, 30, 48 and 72 h, respectively.Results ①The hydrogen-rich rods used in this study could well meet the requirements.②When the environment temperature was kept constant, the hydrogen concentration of the water was increased with the soaking time of the hydrogen-rich rods, and the ORP of the water was reduced.However, the DO of the water was decreased with the rise of the environment temperature.③When the hydrogen-rich water was kept in opened plastic bottles with a 25 mm oral diameter, the hydrogen concentration of the samples with the hydrogen-rich rods reserved was almost about 0.50 ppm until 72 h, and that of the others was reduced to almost 0 ppm.Conclusion Our results demonstrate that the hydrogen-rich rods test is a simple and effective method for preparing hydrogen-rich water, which will be an valuable and useful method for using hydrogen-rich water in health promotion and prevention of chronic diseases.

In order to investigate whether defense genes PAL, LOX, PBZ1, PR 1 a and Cht 1 participate in APR(adult plant resistance)to rice bacterial blight, their expression were analyzed using RT-PCR. Enzymatic activities of PAL and LOX were also measured. Results indicated that PAL was induced by pathogen and wounding in adult plants while it only induced by pathogen at the seedlings, and the expression of PAL was stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. Expression of LOX was induced by pathogen both in seedlings and adult plants and it was stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. Expression PBZ1 was induced by both pathogen and wounding in both seedlings and adult plants and it is earlier and stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. No expected fragments were obtained for PR 1 a and Cht 1. Enzymatic activities of PAL and LOX were consistent with their mRNA accumulations, respectively. It is probable that activation of PAL,LOX, and PBZ1 play crucial roles in APR to rice bacterial blight.
