Genetic transformation is an effective method to improve breeding objective traits of orchids. However, there is little information about genetic transformation of Cymbidium sinensis. Rhizomes from shoot-tip culture of C. sinensis cv. 'Qijianbaimo' were used to establish a practical transformation protocol of C. sinensis. Pre-culture time, concentration and treating methods of acetosyringone, concentration of infection bacteria fluid (OD600), infection time, and co-culture time had significant effects on β-glucuronidase (GUS) transient expression rate of C. sinensis cv. 'Qijianbaimo' rhizome. The GUS transient expression rate of rhizome was the highest (11.67%) when rhizomes pre-cultured for 39 d were soaked in bacterium suspension (OD600 = 0.9) supplemented with 200 μmol/L acetosyringone for 35 min, followed by culturing on co-culture medium supplemented with 200 μmol/L acetosyringone for 7 d. Under this transformation conditions, 3 transgenic plantlets, confirmed by GUS histochemical assay and PCR, were obtained from 400 regenerated plantlets, and the genetic transformation rate was 0.75%. This proved that it was feasible to create new cultivars by the use of Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation in C. sinense.

Objective To investigate the effect of bortezomib with arsenic trioxide different concentration on the cell cycle and apoptosis of Raji cells. Methods Flow cytometry analysis showed that the relative number of cells in different phases and the percentages of cells calculated in G1 and S phase of the cell cycle and apoptosis were assessed after treatment with As2O3 and BOR or in combination with BOR in different concentration at indicated time (24 h, 48 h, 72 h). Results Flow cytometric analysis showed that the cell cycle was arrested at G1 phase, the number of cells G1 period increased significantly, and S phase decreased on Raji cells after As2O3 treatment. The relationship between the cellular DNA contents and the concentration of As2O3 showed a dose-and time-dependent manner (P ＜0.0001). But it was found that BOR had no effect on Raji cell cycle, but, in two drugs combination, cell apoptosis rate significantly increased from 16.98 % to 45.84 %. Conclusion The results show that As2O3 exerted variable and definite effects on lymphoma Raji cells, which indicated that As2O3 might induce apoptosis and arrest cell cycle. The combination of two drugs had a effective and synergistic effect on apoptosis.

Objective To establish a model for the calculation of biologically effective dose (BED) and EQD2 (Equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions) in radioactive seed implantation brachytherapy.Methods The BED formula for EBRT(external beam radiotherapy) and for continuous low dose-rate irradiation established under the L-Q model were introduced.The EDQ2 formula for the continuous low dose-rate irradiation (radioactive seed implantation) was established according to the definition of EQD2 and the formula of BED.The α/β values of common tissues and the Tr 1/2 values reported in the literature were summarized.The EDQ2 formula were further simplified by using the actual values.The empirical formula of EDQ2 for early reaction tissues and late reaction tissues were proposed,named as Wang-Peng empirical formula.EDQ2≈ (10/12) D (Wang-Peng Formula 1) was fit for early response tissue,and EDQ2≈ D/2 (Wang-Peng Formula 2) for late reaction tissues.Further examples on the clinical applications of the proposed formula were given,including primary lung cancer,supraclavicular lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer and celic lymph node metastasis of cervical carcinoma.Results According to the Wang-Peng empirical formula,the EDQ2 of the late reaction tissue adjacent to the tumor was only about half that of the tumor tissue,so the radioactive seed implantation brachytherapy naturally protected the late reaction tissue by the biological equivalent dose.The actual calculation,showed that the empirical formula of early reaction tissue was more accurate,but the empirical formula of late reaction orgtissue was less inaccurate and could only be roughly estimated.Conclusions The BED calculation formula introduced here and the set of EQD2 calculation formula and Wang-Peng empirical formula established here were theoretically feasible and could be used for the conversion and superposition between the physical dose of radioactive seed implantation brachytherapy and the external irradiation dose.But it should be careful to apply the formula,pay attention to the default conditions,and carefully interpret the calculated results.

Objective: To compare the dosimetric data between the preoperative plans and postoperative verification in personalized 3D printed template-assisted and computed tomography (CT) image-guided 125-iodine seed implantation for supraclavicular metastatic tumor, and to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility at the dosimetry level.Methods: A total of 14 patients with supraclavicular metastatic tumor (including 15 lesions) who received 3D printed template assisted and CT image-guided 125-iodine seed implantation in Department of Radiation Oncology of Peking University Third Hospital from January to September 2016 were enrolled.There were 8 males and 6 females, aged from 46 to 79 years (mean age: 59.9 years).The Karnofsky performance score (KPS) was from 60 to 90 (median of 80).There were one patient who had not received radiotherapy before, and one patient had received radiotherapy, but the dose was unknown.The remaining 12 patients had received radiotherapy, with the median of 60 Gy (20-70 Gy), and one of them with the dose unknown.All the patients underwent preoperative enhanced CT scan, preoperative planning design, 3D printing template, puncture and particle implantation, the prescription dose from 110 Gy to 150 Gy.Comparisons of the dosimetric parameters between the postoperative verification and preoperative plans were made by paired t-test.The dose parameters inclu-ded D90, V100, V150, V200, matched peripheral dose (mPD), conformal index (CI), and external index (EI).The agreement was evaluated between the preoperative planning and postoperative actual dose parameters using Bland-Altman analysis.Bland-Altman plot showed the difference against the average of preoperative planning and postoperative actual dose parameters with limits of agreement (LoA) (broken lines).Results: The difference of all the data between pre-and postoperation, included D90, V100, V150, V200, mPD, and CI, which was not statistically significant (P>0.05).EI was statistically significant (P<0.05).There was poor consistency of D90, V100, V150, V200, and mPD, but better consistency of CI and EI.Conclusion: Personalized 3D printed template-assisted and CT image-guided 125-iodine seed implantation for supraclavicular metastatic tumor is accurate and feasible.
