Objective To develop a system achieving automated real-time tracking and localizing of tumor center in radiotherapy. Methods High-accuracy infrared tracking cameras' coordinate system was calibrated with the treatment machine. A kind of passive marker was introduced, which can be imaged by computed tomography and can be localized by the infrared cameras during radiotherapy. Several markers on the surface of the thermal-shaped film were fixed, and then the real-time co-ordinates of the markers was compared with those obtained from the computed tomography. With subsequent space registration, the position biases could be shown finally, which could help achieving the real-time tracking and localizing of the tumor center. Results With infrared tracking cameras and appropriate software, the system can achieve automated and real-time localization in radiotherapy. Conclusion The system is more automated, accurate and speedy than the traditional localization method.

Two regression models, based on panel data over the period of 2000-2011, are built and used to analyze what factors determine China's exports of primary and semi-finished products of traditional Chinese medicine to ASEAN. The results indicate that, China GDP, the ratio of ASEAN to China GDP per capita, average export price, the ratio of state-owned assets to total assets, have a significant positive influence on the export volumes of primary products of Chinese medicine. At the same time, RMB appreciation, the ratio of three kinds of foreign-invested assets to total assets, China-ASEAN Early Harvest Program, ASEAN-China Free Trade Area have a significant negative influence. In respect of the export volumes of semi-finished products of Chinese medicine, the significant influential factors are ASEAN GDP and the ratio of ASEAN to China GDP per capita. The former is positive and the latter is negative. In order to optimize the commodity composition of experts, it is needed to increase export volumes of both primary and semi-finished products of Chinese medicine. According to the analysis above, some proposals are put forward, such as, improving the performance of foreign capital, playing an exemplary and leading role in technological innovation by state-owned enterprises, taking advantage of bargaining power of suppliers, increasing outward foreign direct investment.

Objective To study clinical features, treatment and prognosis of nasal NK/T cell lymphoma associated Hemophagocytic Syndrome (HPS).Methods Retrospectively analysis method was used to analyze the clinical data of 3 patients with nasal NK/T cell lymphoma associated HPS. Results 3 patients with nasal NK/T cell lymphoma fulfilled the criteria of HPS. All patients had adverse prognostic factors of lymphoma.1 patient developed HPS as the main primary manifestations of underlying lymphoma,the other 2 patients developed HPS during lymphoma progression. In three cases, bone marrow was infiltrated with lymphoma cells.When HPS occurred,the disease progressed rapidly.The most obvious clinical features were fever,pancytopenia,hypofibrinogenemia,hyperferritinemia,and hemophagocytosis in bone marrow. After being treated according to the HLH-2004 combined with chemotherapy, all patients showed a clinical response,but with the progression of lymphoma,HPS quickly relapsed,and all patients died of severe hepatic dysfunction,coagulopathy,or DIC.Conclusion Nasal NK/T lymphoma associated HPS is an invariably fatal disease with poor prognosis,typically occurring at advanced stage or the terminal phase of the disease.HLH-2004 based protocol in combination with chemotherapy is helpful for nasal NK/T cell lymphoma associated HPS,which may delay disease progression and provid opportunities for the treatment of primary disease.

Objective To evaluate the effects of pregnancy weight control program based on structure- process- outcome model to improve women′s health status and pregnancy outcomes. Methods On the basis of Donabedian′s structure- process- outcome quality of care model, a pregnancy weight control program designed and carried out for the middle and late pregnancy. The structure, process and outcome of the pregnancy weight control program were evaluated to ensure the quality of the pregnancy weight control program. In addition, the women′s pregnancy outcomes were investigated after intervention. Results the prenatal BMI in the intervention group [ (23.06±1.11) kg/m2 ] were lower than those in the control group [(25.52±1.89) kg/m2 ], and the incidence of cesarean section (including cesarean section without indication), neonatal macrosomia, labor block, neonatal asphyxia, postpartum hemorrhage, pregnancy induced diabetes and hypertension in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group, P<0.01 or 0.05. Conclusion Donabedian′s structure- process- outcome quality of care program is an effective approach to improve women′s pregnancy outcomes.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in the clinic. METHODS:Resistant rate of PA in our hospital during 2011-2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Antibiotics use densi-ty(AUD)of 10 commonly used antibiotics were analyzed statistically,and the correlation of resistant rate with AUD was investi-gated by Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS:One thousaud and eleven strains of PA were isolated in our hospital during 2011-2014,detection rate of PA always occupied the top 5 place. Top 3 antibiotics in the list of AUD were levofloxacin,ceftazi-dime,cefoperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium. AUD of piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium,levofloxacin,ciprofloxa-cin and meropenem were positively correlated with resistant rate of PA(r were 1.000,0.900,1.000,1.000,P<0.05). AUD of ce-foperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium were negatively correlated with resistant rate of PA(r=-0.900,P<0.05). AUD of imi-penem and cilastatin sodium,ceftazidime,gentamicin,aztreonam and amikacin had no correlation with resistant rate of PA(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:There is correlation between AUD of antibiotics and resistant rate of PA. It is of important significance to detect resistant rate of PA and the use of antibiotics regularly. Antibiotics should be selected cautiously in accordance with bacterial monitoring data,results of drug sensitivity tests,the amount and resistant rate of antibiotics,etc,in order to reduce resistant PA.
