Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular disease. It got its nickname, the moyamoya disease, because the image of abnormal blood vascular net at the skull base in the encephaloangiography of such patients is very similar to smog. The moyamoya disease can be divided into two types: ischemic and hemorrhagic according to its clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics. In the ischemic type of moyamoya disease, when the blood vascular lumens are not narrow enough to completely block the blood flow, the chief manifestation is the cerebral blood circulation insufficiency; when the salvage is not in time, the disease will further progress to develop vascular obstruction or thrombosis, resulting in cerebral infarction, finally hemiplegia, aphasia, etc. irreversible symptoms and signs occur. In the primary hospital, the first choice for treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI) is drug thrombolysis. However, the main treatment for moyamoya disease with ACI is chiefly revascularization. This article reported a patient with moyamoya disease and ACI successfully treated by intravenous reteplase for thrombolysis in People's Hospital of Pucheng County.

Objective To apply electrical impedance tnmography that is a new evaluation ap-proach to monitor the development of retroperitoneal injury. We used retroperitoneal inject blood model in pigs to study the feasibility on monitoring retroperitoneal bleeding and to provide premise in theory and practice for clinical application. Methods Five pigs were used on the experiment. We insert a vessel into the retroperitoneal and inject blood to simulate retroperitoneal bleeding. Sixteen electrodes were atta-ched on the abdominal region circumference of pigs and used for electrical current injection and surface voltage measurement. Then the monitoring images were performed by electrical impedance tomography. Results The images of electrical impedance tomography retroperitoneal inject blood model of five pigs were clear, the minimal impedance scale was decreasing significantly as the bleeding volume increasing and the images were changed significantly too. The computerized tomography and the dissecting results confirmed the blood was limited in retroperitoneal. Conclusions The establishments of pigs retroper-itoneal inject blood model was successful. The images of electrical impedance tomography retroperitoneal inject blood model were clear with significant contrast. It's feasible to use electrical impedance tomography system to monitor the retroperitoneal bleeding. This technique may become a useful tool for monitoring ret-roperitoneal injury in intensive care patients.

Objective To investigate the consensus and controversies on delineation of radiotherapy target volume for patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods Study questionnaires were designed by radiation oncologists in Peking University School of Oncology. The forms were sent through email to radiation oncologists in 10 radiation departments in China and 2 departments in US in November,2007. The brief introduction and PET/CT digital data of one patient with NSCLC were sent to radiation oncologists in 10 departments in Beijing. On Jan. 12,2008,the case discussion was held by more than 300 radiation oncologists from Beijing,Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Results All receivers of the questionnaire responded . The set up error was 5-7 mm . For patients with locally advanced NSCLC treated with radiotherapy concurrently with near full dose chemotherapy,ll out ot 12 responding departments defined planning target volume(PTV) of primary tumor as gross tumor volume(GTV) plus 6-8 nun plus set-up error and respiratory movements ,and only one defined PTV as GTV plus set-up error and respiratory movements. For PTV of the mediastinal lymph nodes in the same patient,9 out of 12 responding departments defined PTV as GTV plus 6-8 mm plus set-up error and respiratory movements,and 3( of China) out of 12 defined PTV as GTV plus set-up error and respiratory movements. Stereotactic body .radiotherapy with high fraction dose was used in 11 out of 12 responding departments with fraction dose varying from 6 to 20 Gy,including 6 of which defined PTV of primary tumor as GTV plus 6-8 mm plus respiratory movements and set-up error, and 5 defined PTV of early stage lung cancer as GTV plus respiratory movements and set-up error. The consensus on delineation of primary tumor of the case discussion was that the appropriate window width and window level were 1600 Houasfield Units(HU) and -600 HU for lung window,and 400 HU and 20 HU for mediastinal window. The controversies was focused on whether the CTV for metastatic lymph nodes should be restricted as GTV plus 6-8 mm or enlarged to enclose all the involved lymph node region. Conclusions PIT of primary tumor and mediastinal metastatic lymph nodes should be GTV plus 6-8 mm plus respiratory movements plus set-up error. The basic controversies of target delineation are focused on the fraction dose and PIT range for early stage NSCLC, and on the possibility of defining the PIT as GTV plus respiratory movements and set-up error when treated with concurrent radiotherapy and full dose chemotherapy for locally advanced NSCLC.

Objective:The aim of this study was to explore the application of maxillary osteotomy plate and positioning guide plate in maxillary Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy to eliminate the postoperative error caused by condylar displacement.Methods:Patients suffered from skeletal malocclusion and needed Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy between January 2018 and November 2020 were selected from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College. All patients were scanned with 64 slice spiral CT. The DICOM format data were analyzed using the Simplant software to reconstruct the virtual three-dimensional model of the jaw before operation. Then, the measurement of indexes and the maxillary Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy were carried out on the virtual three-dimensional model, respectively. 3D-printed osteotomy guide plate and positioning guide plate were used to determine the osteotomy line and the position of maxillary advancement. 3D-printed tooth supported occlusal plate was used to support the mandibular sagittal split and retraction. The differences of 10 indexes between the two groups (virtual operation and surgery) were analyzed by paired t test using SPSS 22.0. Results:A total of 8 patients (5 males and 3 females) needed maxillary Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy aged from 18 to 39 years old were recorded. The deviation of age in these patients was 24.8. The 3D-printed guide plate and tooth supporting occlusal plate were positioned accurately in surgery. All the operations were successful with primary healing of the incision and stable occlusion, and without joint clicking. There was no significant difference on the 10 indexes between the groups of virtual operation and surgery ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The application of maxillary osteotomy plate and positioning guide plate can effectively and accurately control the three-dimensional movement of the maxilla and improve the precision of maxillary Le fort Ⅰ osteotomy in orthognathic surgery, making the surgical effect highly consistent with the preoperative design.
