Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2009;29(1):30-34
Objective To investigate a mechanism protected radiation-induce injure for radiated guinea pigs'nasal mucosa treated with intranasal corticosteroids (fluticasone nasal cavity spray). Methods 50 health guinea pigs were divided into 2 groups randomly: the irradiated group (control group) with 25 guinea pigs and the administration group after irradiation (test group)with 25 guinea pigs. The nasal part of all guinea pigs were performed irradiation by the 6 MV X-ray with single 5 Gy, one time each week for three weeks. The guinea pigs of test group received intranasai eorticosteroids with one time every day and one spray each side nasal cavity on the second day after three weeks irradiation. Five guinea pigs in each group were saeritieed randomly at 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 4 months after irradiation, and the histopathologie changes were observed under optical microscope and electron microscope. At the same time, blood were drawn from the heart and the concentration of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were measured by ELISA. Results The early nasal mucosa inllammatory reaction of the test group was less than the control group. The coverage rate of cilia of the test group was much than that of the control group (72.9% vs 50.2%) at four months after irradiation. The atrophy of submucosal glandular organ was lessened and they displayed some extent secretory function. The concentration of IL-1 in serum was increased very much in the test group compared with the control group after irradiation and kept higher level in the first two months. After two months, it began to decrease;on four months, it still kept equivalency level with the control group. The concentration of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were reduced all the while. Conclusions The intranasal eortieosteroids with fluticasene nasal cavity spray can reduce radiation-induced injury of guinea pigs' nasal mucosa. The concentration change of IL-I, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum may be one of mechanism protected radiation-induce injure of guinea pigs' nasal mueosa.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of primary central nervous system malignant lymphoma (PCNSML). Methods The clinical data of 22 cases of PCNSML were analyzed retrospectively.Results The patients in our study mainly presented with headache (16 cases), vomiting (11 cases), weakness of extremities (5 cases) and numbness (1 case). The tumors were supratentorial in 19cases, infratentorial in 3 cases and multiple in 5 cases. CT scan showed same density or high-density lesions with surrounding mild edema. Brain MRI demonstrated slight-hypointense lesion of 9 cases and isointense lesion of 5 cases on T1-weighted imaging. On the T2-weighted imaging, the lesions were slight-hyperintense in 11 cases and isointense in 3 cases. Enhanced scanning showed that the lesions were contrasted evenly and obviously on CT and MRI. Misdiagnosis was given preoperatively in 17 patients. The pathological examination revealed B cell malignant lymphoma in all cases. In 18 cases of follow-up, 5 patients with multiple lesions who only received stereotactic biopsy all died within 6 months, the mean survival time of 6 patients who were treated with total resection of the tumors and radiotherapy was 27 months, 4 patients treated with partial resection and ?-radiotherapy was 21 months, 4 patients treated with partial resection and radiotherapy was 10 months. The patient who was treated with only total resection of the tumor died in 11 months because of recurrent. Two patients with only partial resection died in 5 and 8 months, respectively.Conclusions There are no specific clinical manifestations of PCNSML and the disease is often misdiagnosed preoperatively. Although certain characteristic performance may be found on CT and MRI scans, the final diagnosis of this disease depends on pathological examination. Comprehensive treatments may prolong the survival time of the patients.
