Objective To explore the effect of quality control circle (QCC) on reducing the incidence of complications in the patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods Eighty-nine patients who underwent peritoneal dialysis after discharge were divided into QCC group (45 cases) and control group (44 cases) according to random sampling method. Both groups were followed up regularly, QCC activity was applied in patients of the QCC group on the basis of the QCC activity procedure. The intervention time was 1 year. The blood pressure, standard rate of urea clearance index, peritonitis incidence, catheter drift rate, infection incidences of external orifice of catheter, admission rate of complications and peritoneal dialysis withdrawal incidence between 2 groups were compared. Results After interference, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in QCC group were significantly lower than those in control group:(124.11 ± 13.07) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (132.68 ± 12.09) mmHg and (72.13 ± 10.51) mmHg vs. (78.91 ± 11.79) mmHg, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The standard rate of urea clearance index in QCC group was significantly higher than that in control group:95.56%(43/45) vs. 81.82%(36/44), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). After interference, the peritonitis incidence and admission rate of complications in QCC group was significantly lower than those in control group: 2.22% (1/45) vs. 13.64% (6/44) and 0 vs. 9.09% (4/44), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in catheter drift rate, infection incidences of external orifice of catheter and peritoneal dialysis withdrawal incidence between 2 group (P>0.05). The Spearman correlation analysis result showed that peritonitis was negatively correlated with education level (r = -0.28, P < 0.05), and standard rate of urea clearance index was positively correlated with education level (r = 0.21, P < 0.05). Conclusions The QCC management model can reduce the incidence of complications in patients with peritoneal dialysis.

Objective To eompare the dose distribution of three-dimension conformal radiation therapy(3DCRT) and common radiation therapy (CRT) of the planning target volume(PTV) and organ at risk (OAR) in recurred cervical cancer treatment planning. Methods Thirteen patients,who had cervical cancer recurred in pelvis treated with 3DCRT in Shanxi Cancer Hospital from May to August 2007, were selected. After CT simulation, the CT images were transferred into Topslane treatment system. The same physicist designed 3DCRT plan and common radiation therapy plan for every patient,total dose 50 Gy, 90 % is dose covered PTV, then compared the dose distribution of PTV and OAR.Results At the same prescribed dose of 50Gy,there were no significant differences on OAR maximum dose between 3DCRT plans and common radiation therapy plans(P >0.05), however, there was significant differences on PTV maximum dose(P <0.01). The difference of PTV uniformity were significant between 3DCRT plans and common radiation therapy plans (P <0.001). Compared the high dose region of OAR(V40), the difference was significant (P <0.001). Between 3DCRT plans and common radiation therapy plans, they showed 53.31 ml (90.69 %), 124.00 ml (79.47 %), 655.16 m1(92.22 %) median reduction in the V40 of rectum, bladder, intestine, respectively. Conclusion At the same PTV coverage of the prescribed dose, 3DCRT plans showed worse dose uniformity, however, the radiation volume to organs at risk in 3DCRT plans were smaller than common radiation therapy plans. So patients with cervical cancer recurred in pelvis received 3DCRT may be potentially diminish the Normal Tissue Complications Probability(NTCP).
