Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2010;29(2):127-130
Objective To evaluate the application of three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) based on CT simulation in different respiratory phases in patients gaed≥70 years. Methods A total of 51 patients gaed≥70 years (range 70-88 years, mean age 73.5 years) with NSCLC were treated by 3D-CRT alone, using CT images of different respiratory phases. The case numbers at Ⅰb, Ⅱb, Ⅲa, Ⅲb and Ⅳstage were 3, 7, 19, 17 and 5, respectively. Both gross tumor volumes (GTV) at the end of inspiration and expiration were fused to a total GTV which was close to motorial range of tumor in respiration, and the expansion of clinical target volume/ planning target volume (CTV/PTV) need not include respiratory motion moreover. Compared with plans of classic 3D-CRT, the efficacy, prognostic factors and side effect of this treatment were evaluated. Results Compared with the traditional expansion of CTV/PTV, the volumes of PTV in this scheme were averagely 19.3% lower (median, 17.5%),and the volumes of lung that received equal dose to tumor were averagely 21.8% lower (median, 19.9%). The 1-, 2-and 3-years total survival rates were 70. 6%, 54.9% and 29.4% with a overall tumor response rate of 78.4%. KPS scores and node stages were independent prognostic factors, age was not. Conclusions CT simulations in different respiratory phases can effectively reduce PTV and improve the life quality without affecting the therapeutic effect in senile patients with NSCLC, and can be well tolerated.

China Pharmacy 2017;28(26):3681-3684
OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of different dosages of bromocriptine in the treatment pro-lactinoma,and its effects on serum prolactin(PRL)and tumor volume. METHODS:A total of 60 patients with prolactinoma were selected from our hospital during Jan.-Dec. 2015 as research objects,and then divided into group A and B according to random number table,with 30 cases in each group. Both groups were given Bromocriptine mesilate tablets orally during meal. Group A was given medicine with initial dose of 2.5 mg/d,increasing to 3.75 mg/d 3 d later,increasing by 2.5 mg every week after 2-3 d,and then recovering to 3.75 mg/d till serum PRL level had been controlled. Group B was given medicine with initial dose of 1.25 mg/d, increasing to 2.5 mg/d 3 d later,increasing by 1.25-2.5 mg every week after 2-3 d,and then recovering to 2.5 mg/d till serum PRL level recovered to normal. Both groups were treated for consecutive 3 months. Clinical efficacies as well as serum level of PRL and tumor size were observed in 2 groups,and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:The total response rate of group A (83.33%) was higher than that of group B (66.67%),without statistical significance (P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in serum level of PRL and tumor size between 2 groups (P>0.05). After 1,2 months of treatment,serum levels of PRL in 2 groups were decreased significantly,and the group A was significantly lower than the group B,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment,serum levels of PRL in 2 groups were decreased significantly compared to be-fore treatment,but there was no statistical significance between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,tumor size of 2 groups were decreased significantly,and large adenoma and giant adenoma size in group A were significantly smaller than group B,with statisti-cal significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in microadenoma size between group A and B(P>0.05). The inci-dence of ADR in group A(12 cases,40.00%)was significantly higher than group B(5 cases,16.67%),with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Increasing dosages of bromocriptine no significant influence on therapeutic effect of prolactino-ma,but it can shorten the time of serum PRL level back to normal,and reduce the tumor size. The incidence of adverse reactions in-crease with the dosage.
