Objective To study the dynamic changes of anatomy and the dosimeter distribution those changes influenced. Methods Initially simplified intensity modulated radiation therapy (sIMRT)were performed to twenty-nine patients with phase Ⅲ - Ⅳa esophageal carcinoma from January 2007 to March 2009. The target volumes and involving organs were contoured on the primary spiral CT pictures.After sIMRT planning being finished, secondary CT scan was acquired to rectify the treatment center. For eleven patients at every other week and eighteen patients at the fourth week, spiral CT images were acquired according to the same treatment center, and thereafter fused with the first CT images. Firstly, the law of change and the best time of replanning were searched:the changed gross tumor volume (GTV), gross node volume (GTVnd), plan target volume (PTV) and normal organs (lung, spinal cord, heart and outline) on the fusion interface were modified by a single physician, the changes for each structure throughout treatment were measured by system software. Secondly, dose distributions were computed and evaluated for replanning CT using the same beams arrangement as the initial plan. Cumulative dose was estimated using weighted average and compared with the original plan. Results For eleven patients, The law of change:the volume of outlines and GTV gradually decreased, and the change come to peak in the fourth week. The conformal index for PTV gradually decreased, whereas the heterogeneous index gradually increased. For twenty-nine patients on the fourth week, the dose of GTV were more than 60 Gy. The dose of PTV-D95 and CTV-D99 decreased ( t = 1.49, P = 0. 147 and t = 2. 07, P = 0. 048 respectively). The dose of CTV-D99 in two patients deceased to 54 Gy or less. The cord-Dmax and lung V30 increased significantly ( t = - 2. 42, P = 0. 022 and t = -2. 26,P =0. 032). Conclusions During the course of sIMRT for esophageal cancer, the volume of GTV decreased and the change come to peak in the fourth week. It is the best time for evaluating the change of dose of target volume using CT-CT fusion. For some patients, revise of the treatment plan is needed to ensure adequate target volume dosage and safety of normal tissues.

Objective:To observe the expression of miRNA in retinal tissue of mice with oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR), and screen miRNAs related to p21 and retinal neovascularization (RNV) formation.Methods:A experimental study. Forty healthy 7-day-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal group and OIR group, with 20 mice in each group. The oxygen induced RNV model was constructed in the OIR group, and no treatment was performed in the normal group. At the age of 17 days, the mice were killed and the RNV of mice was observed by retinal fluorescence; the nuclei of vascular endothelium that broke through the inner limiting membrane of retina were counted under light microscope. The retinal tissues were taken for miRNA chip analysis to detect the differentially expressed miRNAs between the normal group and the OIR group. The resulting differential miRNA target genes were subjected to enrichment analysis based on gene annotation (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG); miRNAs and pathways that may be related to p21 were screened through Targetscan, MiRanda and MicroT-CDs database alignment. Independent sample t-test was used for pairwise comparison between groups. Results:Compared with the normal group, the area of nonperfusion area, RNV and the number of vascular endothelial nuclei that broke through the inner limiting membrane of the retina in the OIR group increased significantly, differences were statistically significant ( t=18.800, 9.025; P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, there were 54 miRNAs that were statistically differentially expressed in the OIR group, of which 47 were up-regulated and 7 were down-regulated. A total of 13 miRNAs related to p21 were screened from the alignment results of the three databases with the obtained differential miRNAs. According to the difference multiples, they were miR-7218-5p, miR-322-5p, miR-224-5p, miR-335-5p, miR-329-3p, miR-362-3p, miR-532-5p, miR-20b-5p, miR-20a-5p, miR-195a-5p, miR-423-5p, miR-497a-5p, and miR-129-5p. Differential miRNA target gene enrichment analysis yielded 1 112 go entries and 50 KEGG pathways, of which 50 go entries and 13 KEGG pathways were related to p21. Conclusion:13 miRNAs related to p21 were screened out in the OIR model.

Objective:To analyze the expression of miRNA involved in regulating retinal neovascularizationin in retinal tissue of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mice.Methods:Eighty healthy C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group and OIR group at postnatal day 7(P7). Control group were not received any treatment and then exposed to room air. The OIR group was exposed to (75±2)% oxygen and then under room air at P12. Mice of all groups were euthanized at P17. Retinal neovasculation (RNV) was evaluated by counting the number of pre-retinal neovascular cells and analysing no perfusion area by immunofluorescent staining of the mouse retina.Total RNA was extracted from retinal tissue,and miRNA microarrays was performed to identify differentially expressed miRNA in the two groups. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed differential microRNA.Results:Compared with the control group,the retinal neovascular tufts and the no perfusion area were both significantly smaller than those in OIR group. The number of pre-retinal neovascular cell nuclei in retinas from control group were obviously lower than those in the retinas from OIR group ( t=9.025, P<0.05). MiRNA microarray analysis showed that 54 miRNA in OIR group showed statistically different expression in control group, 47 miRNA were up-regulated and 7 miRNA were down-regulated. The results of PCR were consistent with the trend of microarray. In GO analysis, 1112 items were significantly different ( P<0.05), and 65 items were significantly different in KEGG analysis of expression profile ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The miRNA expression in retinal tissue of OIR mice is different from that of normal mice, and these miRNA may be involved in the development of RNV. There are 54 miRNA expression differences in retinal tissue of OIR compared with normal mouse retinal tissue.
