Objective:To explore the regular variation pattern of tumor volumes of the patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) before and after targeting treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI),and to clarify its clinical value.Methods:The materials of 39 NSCLC patients with EGFR-TKI targeting treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The tumor volumes were detected by volume measurement software of TPS and Image J image processing software,then the absolute and relative tumor volume changes of the NSCLC patients before and after targeting treatment were analyzed by paired sample comparison symbol Wilcoxon rank test. Results:The absolute tumor volumes (mm3 )of the patients with NSCLC before and 1 month after targeting treatment were 14 822.11 (7 524.73,54 999.41)and 7 954.42 (3 499.73,29 396.83),respectively, and there was statistically significant difference (Z=-3.257,P=0.001);the absolute tumor volumes of the patients with NSCLC 1 and 2 months after targeting treatment were 8 358.47 (4 394.36,24 430.05)and 7 028.76 (3 634.98,21 056.71),respectively,and there also was statisticaliy significant difference (Z=-2.213,P=0.027).When the original tumor volume before targeting treatment was regarded as 1,the relative tumor volume of 1 month after targeting theatment was 0.612 6 (0.313 8,0.853 7),and there was significant difference (Z=-3.855,P<0.001);the relative tumor volumes of 1 month and 2 months after targeting treatment were 0.608 4 (0.364 3,1.044 3)and 0.423 0 (0.248 8,0.877 7),respectively,and there also was statistically significant differernce (Z=-2.173,P=0.030);but the differences between other consecutive months (from 3 months to 6 months)had no statistically significant differences (P>0.05);the changes of tumor relative volume presented platform stage after 3 months.The tumor relative volumes of 7-9 months after EGFR-TKI treatment reached the bottom.Conclusion:The average primary tumor volume of the NSCLC patients is obviously reduced 1 and 2 months after TKI targeting treatment. It may be optimal to carry out radiotherapy in 3-9 months after EGFR-TKI targeting treatment.

Objective:
To calculate out the Hausdorff distance based on the scripting in RayStation treatment planning system, which was then applied in measuring the deformation error of brain stem during image automatic registration between CT and MR.
Methods:
Scripting was edited in RayStation system (version 4.7) by using IronPython. The set of point coordinates on the contour of any two region of interest (ROI) had been found firstly, then the Hausdorff distance between the two point sets was calculated out. A graphical user interface (GUI) was designed by using XAML to acquire the visualized output of Hausdorff distance. GUI appeared when the script was run, where two ROIs was selected, then the corresponding Hausdorff distance and the running time were displayed by pressing the "Calculate" button.
Results:
The mean Hausdorff distance of brain stem in 20 patients with head and neck neoplasms was 1.20 cm while the mean elapsed time was 11.01s.
Conclusions
Hausdorff distance of any two ROIs can be calculated out by using the developed method. GUI is designed to realize the visual interaction with RayStation system. Therefore, the RayStation system satisfies the demands of Hausdorff distance calculation in both clinical and research work.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of matrine in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) based on the zebrafish model and network pharmacology. MethodThe IBD model of zebrafish was established using 2,4,6-trinitro-benzenesulfonicacid (TNBS), and the intestinal phagocytic function, goblet cell secretion, and neutrophil aggregation were evaluated using neutral red staining, alcian blue staining, and neutrophil number changes. Changes in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and cholecystokinin (CCK) content in zebrafish were determined by using relevant reagent kits. Network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were used to predict the potential mechanism of matrine in the treatment of IBD. Gene expression of relevant targets was verified through Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultCompared with the model group, the matrine administration group can increase the neutral red staining area in a dose-dependent manner and improve intestinal phagocytic function(P<0.05,P<0.01). It can reduce the staining area of alcian blue and affect the secretion of intestinal goblet cells(P<0.01). It can reduce the number of neutrophil granulocytes, relieve its aggregation, significantly reduce TNF-α content(P<0.01), and increase the CCK content. Network pharmacology analysis identifies 28 potential targets for matrine in the treatment of IBD. The top five targets by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis are CHRNA7, DRD1, CHRNA4, SLC6A3, and GRM5. The Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) results show that the treatment of IBD with matrine may be related to neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, cholinergic synapse, and neutrophil extracellular trap formation. Real-time PCR results show that matrine can affect the expression level of related target genes. Conclusionmatrine has a certain therapeutic effect on IBD and can affect the inflammatory response of IBD. Its therapeutic effect may be related to neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and other pathways.

ObjectiveBased on the nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway, this paper explores the effect of Sinisan (SNS) on liver oxidative stress injury in cholestatic hepatitis rats and its mechanism. MethodThirty 6-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into a control group, model group, low and high dose groups of SNS (2.5 and 5 g·kg-1) and ursodeoxycholic acid group (UDCA, 63 mg·kg-1), with six rats in each group. Rats were administrated for seven consecutive days. On the 5th day, the control group was given olive oil of 10 mL·kg-1, and the other groups were given alpha-naphthalene isothiocyanate (ANIT) of 80 mg·kg-1. The serum biochemical indicator levels of cholestasis and the content of antioxidant factors in rat liver were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes in liver tissue. The relative mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, and quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) in liver tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed a significant increase in the serum biochemical indicator levels of cholestasis and the content of antioxidant factors in liver tissue (P<0.01). There were obvious pathological changes in the model group such as the disordered arrangement of hepatocytes, obvious congestion and necrosis in the portal area, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and destruction of the interlobular bile duct. The relative mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 in liver tissue were significantly down-regulated in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the groups of SNS showed a significant decrease in the serum biochemical indicator levels of cholestasis and the content of antioxidant factors in liver tissue (P<0.01), and the pathological liver injury was obviously improved. The necrotic area was reduced, and the infiltration of inflammatory cells was decreased. In addition, there was a small amount of extravasated blood in the interlobular vein. The relative mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 in liver tissue were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionSNS can significantly improve liver injury in cholestatic hepatitis rats, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress response mediated by the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.
