Objective To observe the motions of the rectum and bladder by image?guided radiotherapy ( IGRT) and to analyze their impact on treatment. Methods Eighteen patients with prostate cancer undergoing intensity?modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT) were enrolled in the study and 247 cone?beam computed tomography ( CBCT) images were obtained from this study. The clinical target volume, bladder, and rectum were contoured on all simulated CT and CBCT to examine their volume and position changes. The dose distributions were recalculated based on the data of the x?, y?, and z?axis setup errors. The doses to planning target volume ( PTV) and organs at risk were calculated in the replanning, and their impact on treatment was analyzed. Comparison of the planning and replanning results was made by paired t?test. The effects of displacements and volumes of the bladder and rectum on target doses were analyzed by Pearson correlation method. Results Great changes in the volumes of the bladder and rectum were observed during the treatment. For the planning and replanning results, PTVD95% was 7777. 37 cGy vs. 7628. 56 cGy ( P=0. 027), PTV Dmin was 87. 91 cGy vs. 83. 35 cGy (P=0. 000), and RVP was 5. 89% vs. 8. 31%(P=0. 000). There were correlations between PTVD95% and the motions of the bladder and rectum, with correlation coefficients of 0. 296 and 0. 177, respectively. The correlation coefficient between rectal volume and PTVD95% was 0. 115, indicating a certain correlation. There is a certain correlation between and PTV Dmin and bladder volume, with a correlation coefficient of?0. 128. Conclusions The recovery of the state during localization for the bladder and rectum, especially the latter, has great significance to ensure the target dose and reduce exposure of the rectum in the IMRT for prostate cancer.

Objective To analyze the effect of quality of life (QOL) on the prognosis of long-term survivors with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods A total of 192 NPC patients treated between 1999 and 2000 and with tumor-free survival before July 2003 were enrolled in this study. All patients received QOL measurement between July and August in 2003. Measurement scales included Chinese SF-36 questionnaire and a checklist consisting of fourteen items about self-rating symptoms. The median follow-up time was 7.9S years (range 2.67-9.55 years). The effects of QOL, social demographic and clinical factors on prognosis were analyzed. Results Univariate analysis showed that QOL affected the tumor-free survival and overall survival. Multivariate analysis showed that hypomnesia was an independent prognostic factor of tumor-free survival, while trismus, headache and age were independent prognostic factors of overall survival. The younger and the better QOL had better prognosis. The other sociodemographic and clinical factors had no prognostic value. Conclusion QOL is an important factor affecting the prognosis of long-term survivors with NPC, and it should be routinely evaluated during the follow-up.

Objective:To investigate the status of violence and aggression suffered by nurses in psychiatric hospitals in beijing-tianjin-hebei region and explore the development trend of violence assessment.Methods:A total of 539 psychiatric nurses from three top grade psychiatric hospitals (Beijing Huilongguan Hospital, Tianjin Anding Hospital, Mental Health Center of Hebei Province) in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region were surveyed by a general data questionnaire, Workplace Violence Frequency Measurement Scale (WVS), Violence Cognition Qquestionnaire, Knowledge and Needs on Violence Risk Management Questionnaire.Results:A high level of workplace violence (6.21±2.94) was found with nurses in different wards ( χ2 value was 32.149, P<0.05), being in different wards (χ 2 value was 32.149, P<0.05), whether participating psychiatric training ( χ2 value was 11.588, P<0.05) and whether working on different schedule ( χ2 value was 21.017, P<0.05), suffered from distinct level of workplace violence. Participants believed that the change in the patients′ condition (68.6%, 370/539) and symptom fluctuation (65.9%, 355/539) were the main factor of violence from patients′ aspect. While a lack of assessment (57.9%, 312/539) and poor communication among nurses (56.8%, 306/539) was cited as the main causes of violence from nurse′s point. Conclusion:The management and control of patients′ violence should be improved through staff training program, introduction and employment of validated assessment tools, the construction of violent prevention and control system. Only through the joint efforts above could we reduce the occurrence of psychiatry violence injuries and ensure a safety practice environment for the maintenance and improvement of nurses′ health in mental health department.
