Objective To introduce the methods for quality assurance of stereotactic radiotherapy in head and neck cancers.Methods Firstly,thirty cases were randomly selected.Secondly,patients were set up with Topsland fixtures,and their heads & necks were fixed with plastic masks,on which windows were open and the signs of reposition were marked.Thirdly,the treatment plan was designed by GE-helical CT-scan and Topsland plan system.Finally,after certification eligibility,the treatment plan was performed to record the parameters of anterior-posterior and analysis errors of setting up.Results: The testing results revealed that the position error was no more than 2mm.Conclusion: QA is a very important measure to guarantee the precision of stereoscopic directional radiotherapy.Only when the QA measure has been strictly carried out,the precise and satisfactory effect can be obtained.

Objective To investigate the relationship between accompanying infection and the change of immunologic function in type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM) patients.Methods One hundred and fifteen T2DM patients with infection and 95 T2DM patients with no infection were selected,and 102 subjects with no history of dia-betes were selected as no diabetetes with infection group.The venous blood of all groups were sampled after an over-night fast of 12h.Glycosylated hemoglobin a1c(HbA1c) level was tested by glycosylated hemoglobin automatic analy-zer.The levels of T cell subsets including CD3 ,CD4 ,CD8 ,NK cell and B cell ratio were tested by flow cytometry,Ig and complement level was tested by immune nephelometry.Results The level of body mass indices(BMI) in T2DM patients with infection group[(27.39 ±9.18) kg/m2 ] and with no infection group[(26.15 ±7.39) kg/m2 ] were higher than no diabetes with infection group (24.21 ±5.37)kg/m2 (t =2.548,4.702,all P <0.05).The levels of IgG,IgA,IgM,C3 ,C4 in T2DM with infection group were (11.83 ±3.92)mg/mL,(3.02 ±0.96)mg/mL,(3.38 ± 0.82)mg/mL,(1.70 ±0.38)mg/mL,(0.52 ±0.18)mg/mL,which in T2DM with non infection group were (12.46 ± 2.47)mg/mL,(2.63 ±1.37)mg/mL,(2.91 ±1.79)mg/mL,(1.58 ±0.43)mg/mL,(0.46 ±0.31)mg/mL,which in no diabetetes with infection group were (13.26 ±3.74)mg/mL,(2.06 ±1.86)mg/mL,(2.49 ±1.01)mg/mL, (1.19 ±0.82)mg/mL,(0.30 ±0.05)mg/mL.In T2DM with non infection group and T2DM with infection group, humoral immunity index including the level of IgG was lower and IgA,IgM,C3 ,C4 levels were higher than no dia-betetes with infection group,the differences were statistically significant(t =7.052,23.059,12.617,18.326,8.730, all P <0.05).The levels of CD4 ,CD8 ,NK,CD4 /CD8 ,CD3 were (37.68 ±8.39)%,(31.58 ±6.98)%,(10.76 ± 6.49)%,(1.19 ±0.75),(62.83 ±5.28)% in T2DM with infection group,which in T2DM with non infection group were (39.23 ±10.28)%,(27.61 ±5.65)%,(14.89 ±7.12)%,(1.39 ±1.01),(64.19 ±6.46)%,which in no diabetes with infection group were (42.91 ±5.67)%,(25.17 ±7.25)%,(16.39 ±6.24)%,(1.86 ±0.82), (73.65 ±9.10)%.Cellular immunity index containing CD4 ,CD8 ,NK,CD4 /CD8 ,CD3 levels decreased more signifi-cantly than no diabetic group,T2DMI group compared with T2DM group,the levels of IgG,CD4 ,CD8 ,NK,B cell ratio, CD4 /CD8 ,CD3 decreased obviously,while the levels of IgA,IgM,C3 declined greatly,there were significant differences (t =11.038,8.237,18.549,25.871,2.436,all P <0.05).Conclusion Patients with T2DM have humoral and cellular immunity abnormalities,T2DM patients with infection is closely related with the imbalance of immunologic function.

Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the expression of human fibrinogen-like protein 2 (hFgl2) in patients with cryptococcal meningitis (CM).Methods The expression of hFgl2 in the peripheral blood leukocytes from 20 CM cases and 20 healthy individuals,and the expression of hFgl2 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leukocytes in 11 pairs of CM patients and matched controls was detected using immunohistochemical methods.Medical image analysis system (MIAS) was used to analyze the expression of hFgl2 gray values,which were negatively correlated to the expression of hFgl2 protein in both peripheral blood and CSF.Results The average gray values for hFgl2 protein in peripheral monocytes of CM patients and healthy controls were 114.49± 11.82 and 137.56± 10.64,respectively,and those in peripheral neutrophils were 111.71 ± 8.62 and 143.56±12.57,respectively.Compared with the healthy control group,expressions of hFgl2 in peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils were both significantly increased in CM patients (t =21.21,t=27.19; P＜0.01).The average gray values for hFgl2 protein in CSF monocytes from CM patients and negative controls were 115.44±8.67 and 149.25±8.57,respectively,and those in CSFneutrophils were 111.71±8.62 and 143.56 ± 12.57,respectively.The expressions of hFgl2 in CSFmonocytes and neutrophils were significantly increased in CM patients (t =29.95,t=28.87; P＜0.01),while the expression intensity of hFgl2 was similar when peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils compared with their CSF counterparts (t=0.924,t=0.607; both P＞0.05).Conclusions hFgl2 can be expressed in both peripheral and CSF monocytes and neutrophils in CM patients.

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune gastrointestinal disorder induced by ingestion of gluten-containing foods.In the past CD was thought prevalent only in Western countries,whereas it has been found common throughout the world and increasing numbers of Chinese patients has been reported recently.However,there are still many deficiencies in management of patients with CD in China and either the diagnosis or the treatment of CD is lacking evidence-based clinical pathway.We report a case of a young woman with CD presenting with chronic diarrhea,abdominal distention,and weight loss,whose outcome was improved by following evidence-based guidelines of medical nutrition therapy.Diagnosis and treatment of the patient was analyzed with review of foreign and domestic literature to provide readers reference of the standardized nutritional intervention of CD.

Objective　To discuss the characteristics and mechanism of P3b potentials in rats and establish the animal model of P3b.Methods　P3b potentials and cell electric discharge in hippocampal CA1 region were recorded simultaneously inside cranio, septal and hippocampal CA1 region in rats.After septal lesions,the changes of P3b and cell electric discharge in hippocampal CA1 region were observed.Results　P3b in hippocampal CA1 region was correlated well with its cell electric discharge. Following septal lesions,P3b and cell electric discharge decreased gradually and disapeared eventually. Conclusion　Cell electric discharge in hippocampal CA1 region might be an important source of P3b.Normal structure and function of septal region were necessary to P3b's generation in hippocampal CA1 region. Additionally these suggested that cell electric discharge to target stimulation was important to P3b's generation.

Results Mifepristone had1 0 0 % effective rate with one-course curative rate of6.67% ,the hysteromyoma volume decreased by an average of at least 3 5.1 0 % ,while the volume gradually increased over 6months after discontinuing mifepristone with the recurrence rate of3 0 .0 0 % .At the second course of treatment hysteromyoma was further reduced by50 .2 0 % ,with the scope of reduction larger than thatatthe firstcourse( P

OBJECTIVE:To investigate therapeutic efficacy and safety of Naoxintong capsules combined with edaravone in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. METHODS:80 patients with acute cerebral infarction were analyzed retrospectively and divid-ed into observation group (40 cases) and control group (40 cases) according to drug use. Both groups was given Aspirin enter-ic-coated tablets 10 mg orally,once a day,to control platelet aggregation,20% Mannitol injection 250 mL intravenously,every 12 hours,to control brain edema,Potassium chloride sustained-release tablets 0.5 g orally,3 times a day,to maintain water and elec-trolyte balance and other conventional treatment. Control group was additionally given Edaravone injection 30 mg added into 0.9%Sodium chloride injection 100 mL intravenously within 30 min,once a day;observation group was additionally given Naoxintong capsules 1.6 g,3 times a day on the basis of control group. Treatment course of both groups lasted for 10 d. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed as well as the ET-1 and NO content,IL-8,hs-CRP,FT3,FT4 and TSH level,NIHSS and ADL score,the occurrence of ADR before and after treatment. RESULTS:Total response rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the ET-1 and NO content,IL-8,hs-CRP,FT3,FT4 and TSH level,NIHSS and ADL score between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the ET-1 content,IL-8 and hs-CRP level,NIHSS score in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and the observation group was lower than the control group;the NO content,TSH,ADL score in 2 groups were significantly higher than before,and the ob-servation groups was higher than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the levels of FT3 and FT4 between 2 groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). No severe ADR was found in 2 groups. CON-CLUSIONS:Based on routine treatment,Naoxintong capsules combined with edaravone in the treatment of acute cerebral infarc-tion can improve therapeutic efficacy and vascular endothelial function,relieve inflammatory reaction and recue TSH levels,more-over,don't increase the occurrence of ADR.

Objective To evaluate the value of plasma soluble urokinase?type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR)and D?dimer for assessing disease severity and prognosis in patients with traumatic brain injury(TBI). Methods A serial of 112 patients with traumatic brain injury admired to our hospital were divided into mild TBI (GCS score 13~15),moderate TBI(GCS score 9~12)and severe TBI(GCS score 3~8). The levels of plasma suPAR and D?dimer were monitored within 24 h after patient admission. Results The levels of suPAR and D?di?mer in TBI group were obviously higher than those in the control group(15.86±7.33 vs 2.79 ± 0.69,P<0.01;3.50 ± 2.78 vs 24 ± 0.15,P<0.01). The levels of suPAR and D?dimer in the severe TBI group were also obviously high?er than those in the moderate TBI group(P<0.05). Plasma suPAR levels and GCS score had significant negative correlation(r =- 0.854,P < 0.01). D?dimer levels and GCS score showed a negative correlation(r =- 0.738, P < 0.01). Plasma suPAR and D ? dimer was positively correlated(r = 0.753,P < 0.01). The area under the curve of D?dimer(AUC)was larger,0.854,95%CI 0.763~0.945;the AUC of suPAR was 0.801,95%CI 0.698~0.903. Conclusion Higher levels of suPAR and D?dimer in TBI patients is not only relevant to the injury sever?ity ,but also closely to the prognosis.
