Objective: To study the effect of docetaxet (DOC) combined with 4-AP on human breast can-cer MCF-7 cells and to explore whether 4-AP could strengthen the effect of docetaxel. Methods: MTT assays were performed to investigate the effect of docetaxel, 4-AP and the combination of them on the proliferation of MCF-7 cells. Flow cytometry was employed to detect cell cycles and cell apoptosis after the cells were stained by PI alone or by Annexin-V and PI. Results: Docetaxel could significantly inhibit the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a dose- and time- dependent manner. 4-AP could inhibit the proliferation of MCF-7 cells and the inhibitory rates were 11.9%±1.7%, 42.1%±3.2%, and 44.2%±1.6% at 24h, 48h and 72h after adding 4-AP. Moreover 4-AP (5mmol/L) could strengthen the effect of docetaxel. 4-AP (25μmol/L) could increase the effect of Docetaxel. Docetaxel at 5μmol/L could significantly increase the percentage of cells at G_2/M (53.58%± 1.44% vs. 8.83%±0.44%, P<0.01) and decrease the percentage of cells at G_0/G_1 (11.48%±0.14% vs. 63.89%±0.98%, P<0.01), indicating that docetaxel blocked MCF-7 cells at G_2/M phase. 4-AP at 5mmol/L could in-crease the percentage of MCF-7 cells at G_0/G_1 and decrease the percentage of cells at G_2/M (0.42%±0.17% vs. 8.83%±0.44%, P<0.05). Docetaxel could significantly increase late apoptosis and death of MCF-7 cells af-ter treatment over 24h (from 6.97%±0.75% to 20.77%±0.75%, P<0.05). Docetaxel combined with 4-AP could increase early apoptosis rate from 4.60%±0.91% to 12.20%±0.82% (P<0.05) and could increase late apopto-sis rate and death rate from 4.60%±0.91% to 12.20%±0.82% (P<0.05). Conclusion: Both docetaxel and 4-AP can inhibit the proliferation of MCF-7 cells. Docetaxel can increase the percentage of cells at G_2/M phase and 4-AP can increase the percentage of cells at G_0/G_1 phase. 4-AP could strengthen the inhibitory effect of docetaxel on the proliferation of MCF-7 cells through inducing cell apoptosis.

Objective To assess the value of color Doppler ultrasonogarphy in the diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis (SAT). Methods Sixty-eight patients of SAT and 30 patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma were included, and their imaging features were retrospectively reviewed. Results All the patients with SAT had either focal or diffuse hypoechogenicity of the thyroid lobes with rich blood supplying in the diseased region, among them 52 patients (76.47%, 52/68) had tenderness on palpation. Diffuse and focal lesions were found in 40 (58.82%, 40/68) and 28 patients (41.18%, 28/68). The boundary and shape of focal lesions had no diagnostic characteristics compared with those of thyroid papillary carcinoma. Punctate calcification and resistance index (RI) in the nodule were significant different between the SAT and thyroid papillary carcinoma (P<0.05). Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasonography can display the features of SAT and is an effective method for the diagnosis of SAT.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of patient's heart rate(HR)on coronary CT angiography(CTA)image quality(IQ)and reconstruction timing in dual-source CT(DSCT).Methods Ninety-five patients with suspicion of coronary artery disease were examined with a DSCT scanner(Somatom Definition.Siemens)using 32×0.6 mm collimation.All patients were divided three groups according to the heart rate(HR):group 1,HR≤70 beats per minute(bpm),n=26;group 2,HR>70 bpm to≤90 bpm, n=37;group 3,HR>90 bpm,n=32. No beta-blockers were taken before CT scan.50-60 ml of nonionic contrast agent were injected with a rate of 5 ml/s. Images were reconstructed from 10%to 100% of the R-R interval using single-segment reconstruction. Two readers independently assessed IQ of all coronary segments using a 3-point scale from excellent(1)to non-assessable(3)for coronary segments and the relationshiD between IQ and the HR. ResuitsOverall mean IQ score was 1.31 ±0.55 for all patients with 1.08±0.27 for group 1,1.32±0.58 for group 2 and 1.47±0.61 for group 3. The IQ was better in the LAD than the RCA and LCX(P<0.01).Only 1.4%(19/1386)of coronary artery segments were considered non-assessable due to the motion artifacts.Optimal image quality of all coronary segments in 74 patients(77.9%)can be achieved with one reconstruction data set.The best IQ was predominately in diastote(88.5%)in group 1,while the best IQ was in systole(84.4%)in group 3. ConclusionsDSCT can achieve the optimal IQ with a wide range of HR using single-segment reconstruction. With the increasing of HR,the timing of data reconstruction for the best IQ shifts from mid-diastole to systole.

Objective:To explore the application of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) in low-energy X-ray intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), analyze its potential risks in IORT, and preliminarily explore the feasibility of FMEA in optimizing IORT management and reducing the occurrence of potential risks.Methods:An FMEA working group was established by the IORT team (1 radiologist, 1 radiology physicist, 2 surgeons, and 2 nurses) to apply the FMEA methodology to conduct a systematic risk assessment. The process modules were established, the potential failure modes and causes for each module were analyzed, the severity (SR), frequency of occurrence (OR) and likelihood of detection (DR) of failure modes were scored and the risk priority number (RPN) was calculated: RPN= SR × OR × DR. The possible errors and potential clinical impact of each part of the radiotherapy process were prospectively analyzed and understood, the causes and current measures were analyzed for each failure mode and preventive measures were proposed and risk management measures were taken accordingly.Results:The IORT process was divided into 8 modules with 14 failure modes. The highest OR value was unsatisfactory target area confirmation (7 points), the highest SR value was equipment failure to discharge the beam (10 points), the highest DR value was wrong key entry after dose calculation (7 points), the highest RPN values were unsatisfactory target area confirmation (210 points) and ineffective protection of endangered organs (180 points). Weaknesses were corrected according to priorities, workflows were optimized and more effective management methods were developed.Conclusion:FMEA is an effective method of IORT management and contributes to reducing the occurrence of potential risks.
