Objective To analyze the discrepancies between position adjustments obtained with the stereoscopic 2DKV XGS-10 system and the Varian OBI system for head-and-neck region IMRT treatments,and to compare for image acquisition and registration time.Methods CBCT images were obtained with OBI system and 2DKV images were acquired by XGS-10 system for 30 head-and-neck patients prior to Varian21EX IMRT treatment.The images were registered with planning image for localization,and position adjustments were given in LR,SI and AP directions,then the discrepancies between them were analyzed.On the comparison of the two different systems,the Pearson coefficient was used to analyzed the correlation and 95％ CI analysis to discern the consistence.Results Analysis of images acquired for the 30 patients yielded the following results:position adjustments with XGS-10 system were (-1.03 ± 2.15) mm,(0.86 ± 2.59) mm,(0.42 ± 1.66) mm in LR,SI and AP directions,whereas (0.00 ± 1.68) mm,(1.53 ± 2.12) mm,(0.10 ± 1.54) mm with CBCT in LR,SI and AP directions.The discrepancies were (-1.03 ± 1.24) mm,(-0.68 ± 1.78) mm and (0.32±1.61) mm in LR,SI and AP directions.The correlation coefficients between them were 0.817,0.731 and 0.495 in LR,SI and AP directions.95％ CI were (-1.47--0.59),(-1.32-0.04),(-0.26-0.90) mm.The average image acquisition and registration time were 10 s and ＜ 15 s in XGS-10 system,with 3 min and 8 min in OBI system.Conclusions Both of XGS-10 system and OBI system could be used to improve patient position accuracy,but XGS-10 system could cut down the total time.

Currently,the incidence of breast cancer ranks first at home and abroad of female cancer and the age of onset tends to be younger.Due to the local changes of the tumor residual cavity after the breast conserving surgery,we can't accurately delineate the irradiation range using traditional breast conserving surgery combined with external irradiation of whole breast and tumor bed plus the amount,and the course of treatment is longer.Intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) can avoid the impact of respiratory motion and postural changes.Meanwhile,it can immediately irradiate the tumor bed intraoperative accurately.For patients,IORT can shorten the cycle of radiotherapy and reduce irradiation on the skin and subcutaneous tissue.So IORT is convenient,easy to be accepted,and it has relatively few complications,good cosmetic results and so on.In recent years,more and more Cancer Center choose breast conserving surgery combined with IORT for the treatment of early stage breast cancer and do researches to the indications,methods,dosage,efficacy and prognosis of IORT.

Objective To study the effect of applicaton of the implanted artificial defecation control device (IADCD) in patients with lower rectal cancer. Methods The "radical resection aiming at achieving automatically controlled defecation" was performed in 32 patients with lower rectal cancer, On the basis of Mile's operation, the IADCD was implanted in those patients. Postoperatively, the defection control, psychological effect of the defecation mode on the patients, complications and adverse effects were observed. Results In treatment group (32 cases), satisfactory defecation control was achieved in 31 cases 1 month after the operation, and in another case 2 month after operation, and no obvious complications and untoward effects. In control group(16 cases), 8 cases had 1～2 times formed stool 3 months after operation, 4 cases achieved 6 months after the operation. Conclusions For patients with lower rectal cancer, the "radical resection aiming at achieving automatically-controlled defecation" could achieve the complete resection of lower rectal tumor and near to normal defecation without obvious untoward effects.

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathologic features of primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC) associated with hepatitis B virus,HBV). Methods 200 cases of the patients with PHC were diagnosed by histopathologic examination and surgery. The history of HBV infection, its infective patterns and abnomal liver function were obtained from the medical history, and the tests of liver function and HBV five markers. The pathologic features of PHC associated with HBV were determined by analysis of histopathologic changes and views of surgery. Results The markers of HBV were positive in 181 out of 200 cases with PHC, and the positive rate of HBV infection was 90.5%. The postitive rate of HBsAg, anti-HBe and anti-HBc was the highest among the five markers of HBV (50.83%). The positive rate of HBsAg and HBeAg and anti-HBc was only 4.97%. The PHC patients without history of HBV infection and asymptomatic carriers of HBV accounted for 61.33% and 6.63%, respectively. The cases with cured hepatitis and no relapse accounted for 8.29%. The cases with chronic hepatitis B and with liver cirrhosis accounted for 22.10% and 1.66%, respectively. Liver functions were slightly abnomal in approximately one-half patients with PHC. Histopathologic features were as following: HCC accounted for 91.95%, and nodular type, macro-type and small hepatic carcinomas accounted for 55.25%, 30.94% and 13.81%,respectively. The distributions of PHC were mainly in right lobe of liver. The incidence of venous cancer embolism was 12.71%. The incidence of liver cirrhosis was 83.32%. Conclusions ⑴There was relationship between HBV and PHC. The main infective pattern of HBV was the positive HBsAg, anti-HBe and anti-HBc;⑵Pathologic lesion of liver was hidden after infection of HBV;⑶The incidence of active cirrhosis was high; and ⑷There were many pathologic features in patients with PHC associated with HBV.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of BioLiver Ⅰ bioartificial liver support system (BALSS) on the treatment of two types of acute liver failure (ALF) canine models. Methods The drug induced ALF canine model was established by multiple subcutaneous injections of acetaminophen. Another model was operated to resect 80 percent of the liver tissue. The primary hepatocytes were separated from the swine and cultured within the BALSS. The ALF models were treated by BioLiver ⅠBALSS for 6 hours. The changes of physiological, biochemical and histological parameters were observed before and after the treatment. Results The canines developed ALF 48 hours after injections of acetaminophen, the established rate of the model was 63 3%. While the other ALF canine model developed 24 hours after 80 percent liver resection and the established rate was 84 2%. Using our modified enzymatic digestion method, the yield of hepatocytes was (1 0～3 0)?10 10 per swine with high viability. BioLiver ⅠBALSS treatment resulted in beneficial effects on blood biochemical parameters. The pathological lesions of the liver were repaired. BALSS treatment was harmless to other organs. The ALF canines in drug group survived longer than in operation group. Conclusion This type of BALSS can provide safe and efficacious liver function support in the two types of ALF canine models, and it may be as an hepaful and important therapy to ALF

Objective To investigate the characteristics of pathogens and risk factors of the catheterassociated infection (CAI) in emergency ICU (EICU) in order to design an appropriately therapeutic strategy for the future.Methods From January 2008 to December 2010,a total of 1363 patients were enrolled for this retrospective study.Blood sample taken from the vein with indwelling catheterization and the tips of catheters cut in 5 cm after withdrawn from the veins in 1363 patients were collected for bacterial culture.Results Of 1363 catheters,pathogens were found in 147 (10.79％) after venous catheterization.The daily occurrences of CAI were 3.05 ones per 1000 catheters.Of 147 cases of infection,46.94％ pathogens were gram-negative bacilli,40.14％ gram-positive cocci,and 12.92％ fungi.Unconditional Logistic regression analysis suggested that repeated catheterization,femoral vein catheterization,the application of multi-lumen catheter and long-term indwelling catheterization were the independent risk factors responsible for CAI.Conclusions The risk factors responsible for catheter related infections should be controlled to prevent the occurrence of nosocomial infection.
