Objective To evaluate the effect of intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT) on parotid function in nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). Methods Eighty-three NPC patients received prima-ry IMRT between 2001 and 2003. Xerostomia before radiotherapy, at the end of radiotherapy, at 6-month, 1-,2-,3-,4- and 5-year after radiotherapy were investigated, respectively. The relation between xerostomia and parotid dose distribution was analyzed. Results Of all the patients,4,31,31 and 17 had stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and ⅣA disease, respectively. Sixteen patients received chemo-radiotherapy. The median followed-up time was 65 months. The 5-year local control and regional control rate were 96% and 95% ,respectively. The 5-year overall survival rate was 80%. The mild xerostomia rate at the seven time points was 42%, 51%, 71%, 77%, 58%, 38% and 26%. The corresponding moderate xerostomia rate was 52%, 53%, 21%,8%, 3%, 2% and 2%, respectively. No serious xerostomia was observed. The mean dose of the bilateral parotid glands was 34.34 Gy. Xerostomia at 6-month after radiotherapy was positively correlated with the mean dose of the parotid glands, and D50 was the independent factor in predicting the xerostomia. Parotid function was well protected when the mean dose and D50 were no more than 33 Gy and 29 Gy,respectively. Conclusions IMRT can improve the local-regional control of NPC and protect the parotid glands from radiation-induced in-jury.

This paper introduces an algorithm for detecting T wave alternans (TWA) using Poincare mapping method, which is a technique for nonlinear dynamic systems to display periodic behavior. Vector angle index (VAI) was used to determine the presence or absence of TWA. Adopting MIT/BIH Arrhythmia database and European ECG ST-T database to simulate, we used VAI via poincare mapping method for correlation analysis with Vtwa by way of the spectral method. The cross-correlation coefficient between Vtwa and VAI is gamma = 0.860 1. The algorithm can identify the absence and presence of TWA accurately and provide idea for further study of TWA.

Objective To investigate the targeting effect of TLS9a nucleic acid aptamer on mice hepatic cancer cells.Methods The liposome modified with maleimide and loading doxorubicin(DOX) was prepared,then TLS9a nucleic acid aptamer modified by FITC fluorescence and sulfydryl was synthesized,which was coupled to the liposome surface.The entrapment efficiency of DOX was detected by UV spectrophotometry.The dynamic light scattering(DLS) was applied to measure the particle size of nanoparticles and the potential distribution.The uptake of DOX in mice hepatic cancer cells was detected by the Nikon inverted microscope and the mean fluorescence intensity of liposome/DOX and TLS9a-liposome/DOX was detected by flow cytometry.The cells activity was detected by MTT.Results Flow cytometry assay showed that the binding rate of TLS9a nucleic acid aptamer with BNL.1ME.A.7R.1 mice hepatic cancer cells was 54.1%.TLS9a-liposome particle size distribution was in (116.0 ± 5.0)nm.TLS9a-liposome/DOX released DOX quickly at pH 5.0,and the release amount in 72 h was more than 70 % of the total release amount.TLS9a-liposome/DOX effectively inhibited the growth of mice hepatic cancer cells BNL.1ME.A.7R.1.Conclusion TLS9a nucleic acid aptamer could specifically combined with mice hepatic cancer cells BNL.1ME.A.7R.1,which could be used to detect mice hepatic cancer cells.
5.Numerical simulation study on dust transport law in antibiotic raw material drug powder screening workshop
Chinese Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Diseases 2023;41(12):942-947
To study the distribution pattern of drug dust in the antibiotic raw material drug powder screening workshop and improve the working environment, we used COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0 software to simulate and study the airflow distribution and dust transport law in the powder screening workshop. The results indicated that the dust in the powder screening workshop diffused rapidly with the airflow and reached a stable state at the 100th second. After the dust migrated to a stable state, the area with excessive dust concentration (dust concentration>6 mg/m 3) widely distributed, mainly distributed in the middle and lower parts of the wall opposite the air inlet from the rotary vibrating screen. The distribution of dust showed a characteristic of local aggregation, and dust transport was related to airflow movement, which was prone to aggregation in areas with low airflow velocity and eddy currents. On the plane of the human respiratory belt height (h=1.5 m), the concentration near the dust producing surface was high, with local concentrations exceeding 32 mg/m 3. It was the key area for dust prevention and control. And the working environment can be improved by changing the air flow distribution in the workshop or other dust reduction methods.

Objective:To understand the activity concentration of 131I aerosol in the air of the iodine treatment workplace and estimate the internal dose of 131I inhaled by medical staff in nuclear medicine. Methods:Using CF-1001BRL portable large capacity air sampler, the 131I aerosol in the iodine treatment workplace of nuclear medicine department of 6 hospitals in Shandong province was collected by iodine box, and the HPGe-γ energy spectrometer was used to measure the samples. The 131I activity concentration in iodine treatment workplace at 6 hospitals was obtained, and the internal dose to medical staff was estimated. Results:The 131I activity concentration in the air in iodine treatment workplaces at 6 hospitals ranged from 3.64 to 2.94×10 3 Bq/m 3. The 131I activity concentration in the controlled area (ward, patient passageway, subpacking room, operation administration room) was significantly higher than that in the supervised area. The highest 131I activity concentration, 2.62×10 2 Bq/m 3, in the supervised area was found in the medical care passageway. The estimated effective dose to nuclear medicine workers was 0.07-5.68 mSv, not exceeding the national limit. Conclusions:The phenomenon of 131I aerosol contamination still exists in the iodine treatment workplaces of nuclear medicine departments in hospitals, so it is necessary to carry out internal radiation monitoring for nuclear medicine departments all around the country, and explore more reasonable protection standards and methods.
