Objective To observe the effects of physical agents therapy on serum hs-CRP, TNF-α andadiponectin in patients with cerebral infarction and the possible underlying mechanisms. Methods Sixty patientswith cerebral infarction were randomly and equally divided into two groups: 30 cases were treated with physical a-gents therapy ( physical therapy group) , and 30 with drugs only ( drug treated group). Thirty normal subjectsserved as the control group. The level of hs-CRP in the serum was determined by latex agglutination reaction, TNF-and adiponectin were determined by using ELISA before and after therapy. Results The levels of serum hs-CRP and TNF-α of patients with cerebral infarction before therapy were much higher than those of the control group,but adiponectin was significantly lower than those of the control group( P < 0.01 ). After therapy, the levels of ser-um hs-CRP and TNF-α were decreased and adiponectin was increased significantly in both treated groups ( P <0.01 ). Comparison with two treated groups showed that the levels of hs-CRP and TNF-α were lower and adiponec-tin was obviously higher in physical agents therapy group than those in the drug treated group ( P < 0.05 ). Con-clusion The patients with cerebral infarction have low level of serum adiponectin. Physical therapy might exertbeneficial effects on patients with cerebral infarction by the decreasing serum hs-CRP and TNF-α, as well as by ele-vating adiponectin.

Objective To develop a beam orientation optimization algorithm for the gantry orientation in three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3 DCRT).Methods Patients' data were imported from the Pinnacle v 7.2 treatment planning system.including the DICOMRT and dose distribution files.These imported files were merged using a uniforiB coordinate system.The algorithm determined the optimized beam weight for each beam group and optimized the beam orientation with genetic algorithm.The optimized parameters,including the optimized beam orientations and weights,were exposed back to the Pinnacle v 7.2 to compare with the conventional 3DCRT plan.The optimized algorithm was implemented with our in-house program. The dose distributions, the DVH diagram and the conformity index of two lung cancer patients were compared. Results for the two lung cancer patients,the conformity index of the optimized plan(0.59 and 0.7)was higher than the conwentional 3DCRT plan(0.36 and 0.58).The maximum dose in spinal cord was reduced by 17.8%and 22.4%,the lung V20 reduced by 3.12%and 4.35%,and V30 reduced by 4.47%and 1.49%.For the brain tumor patient. the dose of lens and eyes was also decreased significantly. Conclusion This beam orientation optimization can be used as an assistant planning tool.
