Objective To investigate the potential dosimetric advantages of half jaw volumetric modulated arc therapy ( H-VMAT) applied to the Oropharyngeal Cancer, comparing with full jaw VMAT (F-VMAT) and intensity modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT ). Methods Planning CT images of 10 oropharyngeal cancer patients were retrospectively chosen and transferred to Eclipse treatment planning system v. 11. 0 (Varian Medical Systems, Pala Alto, USA), based on which H-VMAT, W-VMAT, and IMRT plans were created. Two full arcs (360°) were adopted for VMAT planning, and the 7 beams were equally distributed for IMRT planning. The optimization constraints remained the same for the three kinds of plans. The dosimetric parameters such as D2 , D98 , D50 , HI, and CI were evaluated for PGTV, PCTV1, PCTV2, PGTVln, and PCTVln. In addition, the maximum dose (Dmax) and D1 cc(minimum dose received by 1cc) of the brainstem and spinal cord were analyzed respectively. The mean dose ( Dmean ) to the parotids, oral cave, larynx, and cervical normal tissues were also reviewed. The monitor units ( MU) for all treatment plans were recorded. Results Comparisons of the three planning techniques showed that H-VAMT improved the HI and CI of the targets (except PCTV2) significantly (HI: F =3. 959, 6. 764, 10. 581, 6. 770, 13. 040, P<0. 05;CI:F=6. 594, 4. 138, 0. 842, 4. 031, 5. 388, P<0. 05);reduced Dmax(F=4. 509, 20. 331, P<0. 05) and D1 cc for brainstem and spinal cord (F=27. 432, 26. 314, P<0. 05) significantly;reduced Dmean(F=4. 279, 29. 498, 19. 295, P<0. 05) to the normal tissues of the mouth, throat and neck significantly. The V50 of the mouth and throat were slightly lower in IMRT plans (F=8. 140, P<0. 05). IMRT was slightly better than W-VMAT in sparing oral cavity and larynx, but the dose distribution was the worst. The H-VMAT plans showed the best dose distribution in the cervical normal tissues, especially for the lower and posterior parts, where IMRT plans displayed high dose curves. Conclusions H-VMAT is dosimetrically superior than W-VMAT and IMRT for oropharyngeal cancer, which could be considered for clinical applications.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Haikou, China and the association of NAFLD with metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components. MethodsA total of 18771 persons who underwent physical examination in Haikou People’s Hospital from September 2016 to August 2017 were enrolled. Body height, body weight, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, blood lipids, and liver function parameters were measured, and ultrasound examination was performed for the liver. The prevalence rate of NAFLD was calculated, and the association of NAFLD with MS and its components was analyzed. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsOf all 18771 persons, 5715 had NAFLD, resulting in a prevalence rate of 30.45%; the prevalence rate of NAFLD was 41.74% in men and 1722% in women. Men aged 45-59 years had the highest prevalence rate of NAFLD, and women aged ≥45 years had the highest prevalence rate. Men had a significantly higher prevalence rate of moderate NAFLD than women (8.10% vs 1.19%, χ2=476.1, P<0.001). Men with obesity and overweight had a higher prevalence rate of NAFLD, and women with obesity had a higher prevalence rate; in both men and women, there was a significant difference in the prevalence rate of NAFLD between groups with different levels of body mass index (BMI) (χ2=2111,1917,all P<0.001). NAFLD patients had significantly higher BMI, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, triglyceride, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase than non-NAFLD patients (t=41.276, 32.339, 31.487, 12.185, 9.716, 38.382, 26.350, 25.291, and 15.008, all P<0.001). ConclusionThere is a high prevalence rate of NAFLD in people undergoing physical examination in Haikou, and men tend to have a higher prevalence rate than women. NAFLD is closely associated with MS and its components.

Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2016;41(9):1005-1008
The clinical data for a patient with sick sinus syndrome was retrospectively analyzed. The patient was treated because of his heart palpitations and the increased chest pain. The patient admitted to the hospital under consideration for the left atrial tumor dependent on the echocardiography findings. After the CT scan and the dynamic ECG examination, the patient successfully underwent the left atrial tumor resection, atrial septal repair and cardiac pacing lead installation. The postoperative pathological diagnosis showed that the infective endocarditis and left atrial thrombus in left atrium was cured. The patient was discharged after postoperative anti-inflammatory therapy. By analyzing the reasons for misdignosis before or during surgery, the possible mechanisms for left atrial subendocardial thrombus have been found. This study suggests that it is necessary to combine imaging diagnosis and clinical observations to distinguish tumor from excrescence.

OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the quality of Yifei qinghua ointment by multi-component quantitative analysis combined with chemometrics and entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method. METHODS The contents of lobetyolin, syringin, calycosin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, ononin, astraisoflavan-7-O-β-D- glucoside, isomucronulatol 7-O-glucoside, astragaloside Ⅳ , deapi-platycoside E, platycoside E, platycodin D3, feretoside, asperulosidic acid, asperuloside, methylophiopogonanone A and methylophiopogonanone B in 14 batches of Yifei qinghua ointment (S1-S14) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography method. Then, the quality of 14 batches of Yifei qinghua ointment was analyzed by chemometrics (principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis) and entropy weight TOPSIS method. RESULTS The results of chemometrics showed that 14 batches of Yifei qinghua ointment could be clustered into three categories, S1-S6 as the first category, S7-S10 as the second category, and S11-S14 as the third category. The values of variable importance for projection of calycosin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, ononin, feretoside, astragaloside Ⅳ, astraisoflavan-7-O-β-D-glucoside, lobetyolin, methylophiopogonanone A and platycoside E were higher than 1. The results of the entropy weight TOPSIS method showed that the Euclidean closeness of the optimal solution of 14 batches of Yifei qinghua ointment were between 0.152 9 and 0.736 6, and that of sample S14 was the highest (0.736 6). CONCLUSIONS Among 14 batches of Yifei qinghua ointment, sample S14 has the best quality, and 8 components such as calycosin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and ononin may be differential markers affecting the quality of Yifei qinghua ointment.
