Objective To study the effects of using jaw tracking technique with Smart LMC algorithm on the absorbing dose of planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OARs) in dynamic intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods Field fluencies of 10 cases of NPC patients were optimized using DVO algorithm on Eclipse TPS (11.0),and according to the same optimal fluence,MLC operation files were calculated using jaw tracking technique and jaw fixing technique respectively,dose distribution was calculated with AAA algorithm and jaw tracking IMRT plan (JT-IMRT) and jaw fixing IMRT plan (JF-IMRT) were generated respectively.Collimators' position at the plan implementation was observed,and the total number of plans' monitor units (MU),the dose of PTV,the absorb dose of OARs,and the actual fluence verification pass rate were compared.Results The collimators' opening gap distances in 166 control points of the JT-IMRT reduced in both X and Y directions in the field,compared to that of the JF-IMRT.Total number of the JT-IMRT's MU increased by 3.59％-11.63％.There was no statistical significant difference between the doses of the PTV.Statistical significance was found in the differences between maximum dose (Dmax) of brainstem,spinal cord,crystal,optic nerve,the mean dose (Dmean) and D50％ of parotid and their decreased values after therapy (t=5.70-8.66,P＜0.05).The actual fluence verification pass rate of the JT-IMRT was higher than that of the JF-IMRT.There was a significant difference between the results (t=5.18,P＜0.05).Conclusions The JT-IMRT plan of the smart LMC algorithm is more tolerant to the radiation leakage between inter-and intra-leaf.The dose of OARs is lower,while the dose calculation precision and the verification pass rate are higher,the actual radiation dose is more accurate and reliable.Therefore it is more suitable for clinical applications.

Objective To compare the functional and radiographic outcomes of modified dual plating and less invasive stabilization system(LISS)in treatment of patients with complex tibial plateau fractures.Methods From November 2003 to November 2004,84 patients with complex tibial plateau fracture were treated with modified dual plating or LISS fixation.Their functional and radiographic outcomes were reviewed to compare the differences in bone union time,full weight-bearing time,knee joint's HSS(The Hospital for Special Surgery)scores,complications, tibia plateau angle(TPA)and posterior slope angle(PA).Results The 84 cases had complete follow-up records and a mean tollow-up of 16.2 months(range,12 to 23 months).Nine complications occurred in the modified dual plating group.The mean full weight-bearing time and radiographic bone union time were 16.8 and 15.1 weeks respectively for this group which had a mean HSS score of 87.4 points.Six complications were found in the LISS group.The mean full weight-bearing time and radiographic bone union time were 14.1 and 13.8 weeks respectively for this group which had a mean HSS score of 89.6 points.There were no significant differences between the two groups in changes of TPA and PA.Conclusion LISS can provide as good fixation as modified dual plating can for most complex tibial plateau fractures,but additional medial plate fixation may be necessary for some special cases.

At present, most clinical thrombolytic drugs are plasminogen activators, which are highly dependent on the plasminogen level of the patient. Therefore, the efficacy of those drugs is restricted. Unlike the conventional thrombolytic plasminogen activator drugs, fibrinolytic drugs have direct fibrinolytic activity. Thus, fibrinolytic drugs can directly dissolve the thrombus, and its thromlysis efficacy is not restricted by the patients' plasminogen. This is a new type of thrombolytic drug with higher thrombolytic efficiency and safety, and has become one of the research hotspots at present. Although more and more agents that can be used as fibrinolytic drugs have been discovered, only a few of them can successfully be applied in clinical practice. The mainly underlying reason is the risk of bleeding. In this paper, based on the latest research progress of fibrinolytic drugs, the bleeding mechanisms and coping strategies of fibrinolytic drugs were systematically reviewed, five types of bleeding mechanisms of fibrinolytic drugs were summarized, and three types of coping strategies were proposed. We hope our work can provide theoretical basis for the development of safer and more efficient fibrinolytic drugs.

Objective To assessed the distribution of two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)loci (rs2383206.rs10757278)on chromosome 9p21 in Xinjiang Uygur and Han nationality populations,and to investigate correlation and the incidence of all cases of macrovascular disease (coronary artery disease,carotid atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease)and analysis of risk factors.To further study the correlation between the incidence of two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)loci (rs2383206.rs10757278)on chromosome 9p21 in type 2 diabetes melli-tus(T2DM)of Han and Uygur ethnic and the incidence of all cases vascular disease,then to analysis the risk factors. Methods 497 adults with T2DM who were treated in the Endocrinology department in hospital from May 2012 to April 2014 were involved in this study,including 298 Uygur patients and 199 Han patients.215 non -T2DMpatients who were treated in the Cardiology department in hospital were also involved in the study,including 93 Uighur patients and 122 Han patients.Then the total 712 patients were detectedby using PCR -SNP Stream technology to analyse rs2383206.rs10757278 loci SNP genotyping.The relevant results were compared with t test,two different genotype distribution and allele frequency were compared with χ2 test,multiple factors analysis were calculated by Logisitic regression.Results The distribution of genotype with two SNP loci had no significant difference between the patients in Uygur group and Han group (rs2383206χ2 =5.570,P =0.062;rs10757278 χ2 =2.721,P =0.257 ),and there's no significant difference between the patients with macrovascular disease and non -macrovascular disease in all patients(rs2383206χ2 =0.120,P =0.950;rs10757278 χ2 =1.027,P =0.598).Logisitic regression analysis showed that the incidence of macrovascular was significantly associated with increasing age(χ2 =28.820,P =0.000)and fatty liver(χ2 =5.210,P =0.020)in Uighur group with type 2 DM.In Han group with type 2 DM,the macrovascular was significantly associated with the increase of age (χ2 =19.980,P =0.000),elevated fasting blood glucose (FPG)(χ2 =4.070,P =0.044)and poor controlled with glycosylated hemoglobin (χ2 =4.280,P =0.040). Conclusion This study found that there's no correlation between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS)loci (rs2383206.rs10757278)on chromosome 9 p21 large with macrovascular in Uygur group and Han group.Increasing age,higher FPG and poor controlled with glycosylated hemoglobin combined with fatty liver were the risk factors for macrovascular.

Objective To compare the efficacy and complications of Chinese Shang Ring circumcision with conventional circumcisiom Methods Clinical data of 479 cases of Chinese Shang Ring circumcision and 354 cases of conventional circumcision with complete follow-up were analyzed.Comparisons were made between the two groups on operation time,pain score,blood loss,postoperative complications,postoperative satisfaction with penile appearance,wound healing time and treatment costs. Results There was no statistical difference in age and foreskin status between the two groups (P＞0.05).For the Shang Ring group,the operation time was(5±1)rain,blood loss was (0.98±1.14)ml,pain score during operation was 0.25±0.54,24-hour pain score after operation was 1.63±0.87,the postoperative complication rate was 6.89% (33/479),wound healing time was (20±5)d,the satisfaction rate of appearance was 99.79% (478/479),and treatment cost was (871±52) yuan.For the conventional group,the operation time was (27±5) min,blood loss was (8.30±3.60)ml,pain score during operation was 3.29±1.57,24-hour pain score after operation was 5.56±1.42,the postoperative complication rate was 13.28%(47/354),wound healing time was (13±2)d,satisfaction rate of appearance was 92.37% (327/354),and treatment cost was (554±46) yuan.Compared with the conventional group,the Shang Ring group had a shorter operation time,less blood loss,less pain score,higher appearance satisfaction rate and a lower complication rate (P＜0.05).But wound healing time was longer and treatment cost was higher in the Shang Ring group (P＜0.05). Conclusions Chinese Shang Ring circumcision is simpler and an improved approach over conventional circumeision with shorter operative time,less blood loss,less pain,relatively lower complication rate and higher satisfaction and acceptability.

Objectives To investigate the role of lymphangiogenesis in the perineural micrometastasis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 30 pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients who were admitted from Sep. 2005 to Oct. 2006 for extended radical surgery were collected. The samples including pancreatic cancer, adjacent tissue, lower bile duct, pancreatic tail, the structure surrounding the SMA (peripancreatic nerve plexus) and lymph nodes were collected during operation. They were subjected to conventional pathological examination. The lymphatic capillaries weredetected by double immunohistochemical staining and the lymphatic vessel density ( LVD) was measured. Results Intra-pancreatic and/or peripancreatic neural invasion was observed in 25 patients (83. 3% ) , of which 20 were found to have both the peri-pancreatic and intra-pancreatic neural invasion. The other 5 only had the intrapancreatic neural fiber invasion and there was no single patient with peri-pancreatic neural fiber invasion only. Peri-neural invasion was not significantly associated with patients' age, gender, lymph node metastasis, tumor size and the location (P > 0.05) , but was obviously associated with JPS clinical staging ( P < 0. 05 ). The mean intratumoral LVD was (4.2 ±3.4) per field, which was significantly lower than (11.3 ±6.9) per field of adjacent tissue and (10.8 ±4.4)per field of normal pancreatic tissue(P<0.01). The mean intratumoral LVD between adjacent tissue and normal pancreatic tissue was not statistically different. Lymphatic vessel invasion was observed in non-malignant tissues in 18 patients, and there was a distribution correlation between lymphatic vessel invasion and extra-pancreatic neural plexus invasion (P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence of peri-neural invasion was high, peri-neural invasion was associated with JPS clinical staging and lymphatic vessel invasion, which suggested the possibility of the cancer spreading by peritumoral lymphangiogenesis route into the peri-SMA neural plexuses.
