Objective To study the relationship between GFAP and the malignant degree of astrocytoma. Methods After successful transfer of retrovirus with GFAP (PLBsKG) into C6 cells mediated with liposome, the morphology, growth curve and the proliferative cycle of the target cells were observed. The expression of the protein and mRNA of GFAP was determined with RT-PCR and immunocytochemical staining. In addition, the relationship between the staining GFAP-IR and the malignant degree of astrocytoma was analyzed according to Kermohan′s grading standard in 20 samples of the cells of astrocytoma with imaging analytic system. Results PLBskG resulted in the decrease of GFAP in the target C6 cells, and changed the morphology and increased the proliferation of C6 cells. The number of the cells in the G 2+M phages was increased. The intensity of GFAP-IR staining was negatively correlated to the malignant potency of astrocytoma. The more intensive staining of the cells, the lower of the malignant degree of astrocytoma and vice versa. Conclusion There is a close relationship between GFAP and malignant degree of astrocytoma. The level of GFAP expression serves the index of the malignant degree and prognosis of astrocytoma in certain degree.

Objective To study the occurence, development and regulation of reactive gliosis with astrocyte (Ast) in vitro. Methods Ast was isolated and cultured in vitro and its model of reactive gliosis was established by scratching the cultured astrocytes. The reactivity and rules of Ast to injury was studied by morphological changes, RT-PCR, immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization and imaging analysis. Results After scratching, the astrocytes showed typical features of reactive gliosis, with the hypertrophic cell body, thickened and lengtheded processes, and enhanced glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) staining. In situ hybridization and RT-PCR analysis confirmed that the expression of GFAP mRNA was markedly increased. These changes occurred 1 d after scratching and reached the peak 5 to 7 d after injuring. Conclusion A model of reactive astrogliosis was successfully established in vitro which showed an active reaction to injury. The characteristics of reactive gliosis parallel that seen in vivo.

The design of a conventional radiotherapy plan is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, and relevant parameters need to be continuously adjusted in the plan optimization to identify the optimal plan. In addition, experience differences between planners, time invested in plan design, and institutional standards all affect the quality of the plan, which in turn influences clinical outcomes and patient prognosis. In recent years, automatic planning has developed rapidly, which can improve the efficiency of planning design while ensuring the quality of the plan. At present, there are several methods dedicated to the automation of radiotherapy planning design, such as the Rapid Plan and Auto-Planning functions in Eclipse and Pinnacle commercial treatment planning systems, and there are also studies applying artificial intelligence technology in dose prediction to achieve automatic planning. In this article, the research progress on automatic radiotherapy planning was reviewed, and the realization principles, clinical efficacy and existing problems of various automatic planning methods were illustrated.
