OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effect and safety of dezocine on hemodynamics and inflammatory cytokines in esoph-ageal cancer patients with one-lung ventilation(OLV). METHODS:80 esophageal cancer patients were randomly divided into ob-servation group and control group,40 cases in each group. All patients received 0.5 mg penehyclidine hydrochloride+0.1 mg/kg midazolam+4 μg/kg fentanyl+2 mg/kg propofol+0.15 mg/kg cisatracurium for anesthesia induction,propofol 4-10 mg/(kg·h)+remifentanil 0.1 μg/(kg·min)were pumped after double-lumen endobronchial catheter. Observation group received 1 mg dezocine by Intravenous injection in surgical skin incision,control group received the same amount of normal saline. Hemodynamic parame-ters [heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP)] and inflammatory cytokine levels in 2 groups before anesthesia induction (T1),when skin incision(T2),5 min after dezocine/normal saline(T3),OLV 30 min(T4),recovery two-lung ventilation 10 min (T5)and end of the operation(T6)were compared,and the incidence of adverse reactions was observed. RESULTS:There was no significant difference in HR and MAP in 2 groups at T1,T5 and T6(P>0.05);HR and MAP in observation group at T2,T3 and T4 were significantly lower than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). There were no significant differ-ences in TNF-α and IL-8 at T1,T2 and T3 and IL-6 at T1,T2,T3 and T4 between 2 groups(P>0.05);TNF-α and IL-8 at T4,T5 and T6 and IL-6 at T5 and T6 in observation group were significantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically signifi-cant(P<0.05). And there was no obvious adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Dezocine shows more stable hemo-dynamics and lower expression level of inflammatory cytokines in esophageal cancer patients with OLV,with good safety.

Objective To study dosimetric characteristics of helical tomotherapy (HT) by comparing its treatment plans with linear accelerator-based step-and-shoot intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). Methods Targets on CT images of 10 NPC patients were delineated and transferred to HT and IMRT treatment plan systems. The prescription dose was 70 Gy/33 f for pGTV and GTVnd,60 Gy/33 f for FTV1 ,and 54 Gy/33 f for PTV2. The limit dose of organ at risk was parotid V35 ＜50% ,brain-stem＜54 Gy,spinal cord ＜45 Gy and lens ＜9 Gy. Data of the two groups were compared by paired t-test. Results The dose distribution, conformality and homogeneity were good in both groups.But the homogeneity index(HI) and Dmean of PTV1 in HT group were better than IMRT group( P ＜ 0.01 ).The Dmean of PTV1 in HT group(63.84 Gy)was lower than IMRT group(70.30 Gy). The Dmean, V35 and V30 of parotids,and the Dmax of larynx-esophagus were lower in HT group than IMRT group. Conclusions Helical tomotherapy treatment plan has a better homogeneity, steeper dose gradient, and a better protection for organs at risk.

Objective To investigate the dosimetric characteristics of helical tomotherapy(HT),intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)and three.dimensional conformal radiation therapy(3D-CRT)for the post-operative breast cancer as well as their comparison in protecting the normal tissues.Methods The CT images of 10 postoperative patients with early stage breast cancer were transferRed into HT and IMRT and 3D- CRT planning system respectively after the target region and normal tissues were drawn out with the same doctor.Each prescribed dose for three kinds of plans was 50 Gy/25 fractions.Inrradiation doses and volume at heart and double lungs as well as conformity index(CI)and homogeneity index(HI)were evaluated.Results The PTV volume of prescribed target dose of 95% and 100%in HT, IMRT and 3D-CRT groups were 99.13%and 95.87%,97.80%and 94.05%,96.37%and 87.29%.respectively.The CI and HI in HT.IMRT and 3D-CRT groups were 0.80±0.10 and 1.09 ±0.03,0.65±0.07 and 1.14±0.02,0.40±0.08 and 1.17±0.04,respectively V5,V10 and V20 of the heart were the lowest at 3D-CRT than HT and lM RT.V5 of the diseased lung was the lowest at 3D-CRT compared to HT and IMRT.V5 and V10 of the healthy lung were the lowest at 3 D-CRT compared to other groups.Conclusions Compared with IMRT and 3D-CRT.HT technique in treating breast cancer had the best conformity index and homogeneity index as well as steeper dose gradient.Irradiated doses and volume at the heart was the lowest at 3D- CRT and the highest at IMRT.Irradiated doses and volume of the heart and healthy lung as well as the diseased lung were the lowest at 3D-CRT compared to HT and IMRT groups.

Objective　To evaluate the expression of Fas/FasL antigen on peripheral blood T lymphocytes and its possible role in Behcet disease. Methods　The expression of Fas and FasL antigen on peripheral blood T lymphocytes was determined by flow cytometry and three-colour double marked immunofluorescence methods in 26 patients with Behcet disease and 43 healthy individuals. Results　The difference was significant between Behcet disease (25.70%±7.32%) and controls (14.02%±6.30%) concerning the Fas expression on CD4+ T lymphocytes(P＜0.01) . But no difference was found concerning the expression of FasL antigen between Behcet disease and controls (P＞0.05).The expression of Fas antigen on CD8+ T lymphocytes from Behcet disease (9.47%±6.97%)was significantly higher than that in control group(3.47%±2.75%), but no difference was found concerning FasL antigen expression on CD8+ T lymphocytes between Behcet disease and controls(P＞0.05).Conclusion　These results indicate the imbalance of the expression of Fas and FasL on T lymphocytes in Behcet disease is responsible for the perpetuation and recurrence of Behcet disease for the activated lymphocytes would not be eliminated through apoptosis mediated by Fas/FasL system.

Objective:To explore the effect of artificial dermis combined with autogenous thin skin graft on the survival rate of compound skin graft and the scar state of joints in burn patients.Methods:94 burned patients treated in Baoding Fifth Hospital from August 2017 to August 2019 were prospectively selected as the research objects. They were randomly divided into two groups with 47 cases in each group. The control group was treated with simple medium thick skin transplantation, and the observation group was treated with artificial dermis combined with autologous thin skin grafting. The recovery of the two groups (healing time of skin donor area, healing time of skin graft area, healing time under scab of burn area and hospitalization time) were compared. The survival rate of composite skin transplantation, wound healing, Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) score, joint range of motion (shoulder abduction, knee flexion, knee extension), Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B), Profile of Mood States-Short Form (POMS-SF) score and complications were compared.Results:The healing time of donor area, skin graft area, subeschar healing time and hospital stay in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The wound healing in the observation group was better than that in the control group, and the survival rate of composite skin transplantation was higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the scar state of the joint in the two groups was improved compared with that before treatment ( P<0.05); The scar thickness, vascular distribution score and total score of VSS in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the joint range of motion in the two groups was improved compared with that before treatment ( P<0.05); The shoulder abduction, knee flexion and knee extension in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the quality of life and psychological status of the two groups were improved compared with those before treatment ( P<0.05); The BSHS-B score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the POMS-SF score was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05); The incidence of complications in the observation group (4.26%) was lower than that in the control group (21.28%) ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Artificial dermis combined with autologous thin skin graft can significantly improve the survival rate of compound skin graft in burned patients, and can further reduce the scar condition of the joints of patients, reduce the incidence of complications, and effectively improve the prognosis of patients.

We use a dense and fully connected convolutional network with good feature learning in small samples, to automatically pre-deline CTV of cervical cancer patients based on CT images and evaluate the effect. The CT data of stage IB and IIA postoperative cervical cancer with similar delineation scope were selected to be used to evaluate the pre-sketching accuracy from three aspects:sketching similarity, sketching offset and sketching volume difference. It has been proved that the 8 most representative parameters are superior to those with single network and reported internationally before. Dense V-Net can accurately predict CTV pre-delineation of cervical cancer patients, which can be used clinically after simple modification by doctors.

Objective To evaluate the application of three deep learning algorithms in automatic segmentation of clinical target volumes (CTVs) in high-dose-rate brachytherapy after surgery for endometrial carcinoma. Methods A dataset comprising computed tomography scans from 306 post-surgery patients with endometrial carcinoma was divided into three subsets: 246 cases for training, 30 cases for validation, and 30 cases for testing. Three deep convolutional neural network models, 3D U-Net, 3D Res U-Net, and V-Net, were compared for CTV segmentation. Several commonly used quantitative metrics were employed, i.e., Dice similarity coefficient, Hausdorff distance, 95th percentile of Hausdorff distance, and Intersection over Union. Results During the testing phase, CTV segmentation with 3D U-Net, 3D Res U-Net, and V-Net showed a mean Dice similarity coefficient of 0.90 ± 0.07, 0.95 ± 0.06, and 0.95 ± 0.06, a mean Hausdorff distance of 2.51 ± 1.70, 0.96 ± 1.01, and 0.98 ± 0.95 mm, a mean 95th percentile of Hausdorff distance of 1.33 ± 1.02, 0.65 ± 0.91, and 0.40 ± 0.72 mm, and a mean Intersection over Union of 0.85 ± 0.11, 0.91 ± 0.09, and 0.92 ± 0.09, respectively. Segmentation based on V-Net was similarly to that performed by experienced radiation oncologists. The CTV segmentation time was < 3.2 s, which could save the work time of clinicians. Conclusion V-Net is better than other models in CTV segmentation as indicated by quantitative metrics and clinician assessment. Additionally, the method is highly consistent with the ground truth, reducing inter-doctor variability and treatment time.

OBJECTIVETo understand the prevalence of myopia in primary and middle school students in 6 provinces and the possible influencing factors.

METHODSPrimary and middle school students were selected through multistage cluster sampling in 60 primary and middle schools in 6 provinces in China. The questionnaire survey and eyesight test were conducted among all the students selected according to the national student's physique and health survey protocol. Pearson chi-square test and binary multivariate logistic regression analysis were done to identify the influencing factors for myopia in students.

RESULTSThe prevalence of myopia among primary and middle school students surveyed was 55.7%, the gender specific difference was statistically significant (59.7% for girls, 51.9% for boys) (P<0.01). The prevalence of myopia increased with age obviously. The prevalence was 35.8% in age group 6-8 years, 58.9% in age group 10-12 years, 73.4% in age group 13-15 years and 81.2% in age group 16-18 years, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.001). Single factor and multivariate analysis showed that parents' myopia, distance between computer screen and eyes, distance less than 30 cm between eyes and book while reading, distance less than 10 cm between chest and the table edge while studying, distance less than 3 cm between fingers and pen tip, sleep time, average outdoor activity time during last week, school sport activities in the afternoon, the size of television set at home, time spent on watching TV and playing computer were the influencing factors for myopia.

CONCLUSIONSThe prevalence of myopia is till high in primary and middle school students. Myopia is associated with both genetic factors and individual eye health related behaviors.
