Objective To investigate the prevention and treatment effects of Compound Kushen Injection on acute radiation esophagitis. Methods Eighty-two eligible patients with esophageal cancer were randomly divided into the treatment group (41 cases) and the control group (41 cases). All the patients received radiotherapy. Throughout the course of radiotherapy, patients in the treatment group received Compound Kushen Injection, and patients in the control group received Kangfuxin Liquid. Occurrence time and level of radiation esophagitis, and dosage of painkillers were observed. Results Different degrees of acute esophageal toxicity were observed in the two groups. The occurrence rate of high level (degree III and degree IV) acute radiation esophagitis was 7.3%(3/41) in the treatment group, and 31.7%(13/41) in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The dosage of the analgesic drug (Fentanyl Transdermal System) in the treatment group was far less than the controlled group (P<0.001). Conclusion Compound Kushen Injection could decrease the incidence rate of acute radiation esophagitis, and reduce the high-level esophagitis and the dosage of the analgesic drug, which can help the completion of radiation.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of RapidArc technique on cervical cancer patients with various filling status of the bladder. Methods: Conventional fixed field intensity modulation radiated therapy (IMRT) is used as the benchmark. In 10 fe-males suffering from cervical cancer, two CT scans were performed for treatment planning:one with an empty bladder and the other with filled bladder. The prescribed dose was 50 Gy. The images of that with an evacuated bladder and that with filled bladder were planned in the dual-arc RapidArc and the 7-field IMRT, respectively. The implementor of the plan was the Varian TrueBeam linear ac-celerator. Dose-volume histogram was used to evaluate the data from each plan. Results:When the bladder was filled, IMRT and Rapi-dArc homogeneity were 1.05 and 1.04 (P>0.05), respectively. When the bladder was emptied, the homogeneity was 1.04 for both plans (P>0.05). With or without bladder filling, the conformity index was 0.71 and 0.73 for IMRT and RapidArc (P>0.05), respectively. The effect of V30 and V40 (volume for receiving doses of 30 and 40 Gy) on the intestine and the bladder was more favorable in a full than in an empty bladder. No significant difference between the two plans was observed. IMRT exhibited improved V30 on the rectum and on the bladder. RapidArc was much better in terms of monitor unit (MU) and deliver time. Conclusion:No significant differences in the homogeneity and conformity index between dual-arc RapidArc and 7-field IMRT were observed. Filled bladder is better than empty bladder in intestine and bladder protection in both RapidArc and IMRT. IMRT is better on V30 of the rectum and the bladder, whereas RapidArc improved MU and deliver time.

Objective To observe the effects of soybean,selenium and spirulina on hemoglobin(Hb)of rats intoxicated with fluorine and aluminiums.Methods According to body weight,84 SD rats were randomly divided into control group,high aluminum group,high fluorine group,high fluorine-aluminum group,high fluorine-aluminium intoxicated rats strengthened with soybean group,high fluorine-aluminium intoxicated rats strengthened with selenium group and high fluorine-aluminium intoxicated rats strengthened with spirulina group,12 in each group.Rats in the control group and the high aluminum group were fed with feed containing 5.2 mg/kg of fluorine and 6.8 mg/kg of aluminum.In other groups,fluorine wag 106 mg/Kg and aluminum 19.7 mg/kg.Fluorine and aluminum concentration in the drinking water of the control group and the high fluorine group were 0.69 mg/L and 0.20 mg/L,respectively.In other groups' drinking water,these values were 0.69 mg/L and 90.2 mg/L,respectively.Ninety days later,Hb concentration of the whole blood was tested.Results Hb concentration of the control group,the high aluminum group,the high fluorine group,and the high fluorine-aluminum group were (160.8±6.3),(142.2±15.9),(156.1±4.9)and(145.2±6.2)g/L,respectively.Fluorine had an effect on the concentration of Hb(F=29.56,P<0.05).The Hb concentration of the high fluorine-aluminum group,the strengthened with soybean group,the strengthened with selenium group and the strengthened with Spirulina group were(145.2±6.2),(150.7±17.7),(156.8±14.5),(154.5±17.8)g/L,respectively.Though the concentration of Hb had increased,there was no significant difference between the four groups(χ2=3.304,P>0.05).Conclusions High-dose fluorine could cause varied decrease in the concentration of Hb.However,aluminum has neitherantagonistic effect nor synergistic effect on the Hb of fluorotic Rat.Soybean,selenium and Spirulina show a trend to increase fluorotic rat's Hb,but they has no evident antagonistic effect.

Summary: Receptor mediated gene delivery is a new gene transfer strategy. Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R), the receptor of asialoorosomucoid (Asor), is specially expressed on the surface of hepatocyte. In this paper, the nuclide 131I was combined with Asor to form a kind of soluble nuclide-protein complex, which can be specifically endocytosed into hepatocyte by ASGP-R. After intravenous injection of the complex into experimental animals, the deposition of Asor in vivo and the targeting quality of hepatocyte was detected by ECT. This research testified the feasibility of targeting Asor complex delivery to hepatocyte mediated by ASGP-R in vivo, and provided foundation for the genetic diagnosis and gene therapy of hepatic cell-related diseases.
