ObjectiveTo explore the optimal method of protecting bone marrow in postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy of stage Ⅱ - Ⅲ rectal cancer by comparing two techniques of intensitymodulated radiotherapy (IMRT). MethodsFifteen patients with stage Ⅱ - Ⅲ rectal cancer after surgery had CT simulation. Clinical target volume, small bowel, bladder and bone marrow were contoured. Two IMRT treatment plannings with and without bone marrow-sparing (BMS-IMRT and IMRT) were separately designed. The dose distribution was compared based on that 95% of the planning target volume received the prescribed dose. ResultsBMS-IMRT had an advantage over IMRT in terms of conformity indices ( 1. 06∶1. 04, t =- 2. 61, P =0. 023 ), but inferior to I M RT for homogeneity indices ( 0. 81 : 0. 75, t =- 2. 34, P =0.037)).Compared with IMRT, BMS-IMRT reduced the V5, V10, V20, V30, V40 of bone marrow (97.09%∶98.72%, t=-2.34, P=0.037;92.38%∶96.46%, t=-2.41, P=0.033;83.36%∶91.70%, t=-3. 18, P=0.008;51.47%∶69.65%, t=-4.92, P=0.000;36.34%∶49.57%, t=-2.66, P =0. 021 ). The doses received by small bowel and bladder were similar between BMS-IMRT and IMRT, except that the V20 of bladder was lower in BMS-IMRT (77. 32%∶92. 39%, t =-3.52, P=0. 004). Conclusions BMS-IMRT reduces low dose volume of bone marrow without increasing dose to other risk organs.BMS-IMRT might reduce acute hematologic toxicity and increase the feasibility of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy in stage Ⅱ -Ⅲ rectal cancer.

Objective To analyze the clinical epidemiology of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) in the Xinjiang region. Methods Clinical data of the patients with PHC were collected at First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from 5 577 cases from January 2002 to December 2014, their gender, race, age, household distribution, hepatitis virus-positive rate were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 5 577 eases, the men/women gender ratio was 3.45∶1;the proportion of Han, Uighur, Kazakh, and other ethnic groups (Hui, Mongolian, Manchu, Xibo) was 79.67%, 9.86%, 4.55%, 3.31%and 2.61%, respectively. The Constituent ratio difference between Uighur and Han was significant (P<0.05);4 232 patients had hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) detection, and 3 833 patients had HCV antibody (HCV-Ab) detection. HBsAg was positive in 2 560 cases (60.49%), HCV-Ab was positive in 490 cases (12.78%). Hepatitis B virus detection positive rate in Uygur was 35.52%, in Kazak was 40.00%, which was lower than the Han's (65.68%, P<0.05). Urban and rural population had 3589 cases (64.35%) and 1988 cases (35.65%). Conclusion An increased risk for PHC was found in hepatitis virus-positive patients, the Xinjiang Uygur and Kazak people had significantly lower prevalence of HBV infection than the Han's. Appropriate measures should be taken for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prevention of PHC.
