Objective To compare the accuracy of blood volume perfusion imaging (perfusion CT)with contrast enhanced 64-slice spiral computed tomography (CECT) in the evaluation of gross tumor volume (GTV) and clinical target volume (CTV) using rabbits with VX2 brain tumor. Methods Perfusion CT and CECT were performed in 20 rabbits with VX2 brain tumor. The GTV and CTV calculated with the maximal and minimal diameter of each tumor in the blood volume (BV) maps and CECT were measured and compared to those in pathological specimens. Results The mean value of the maximal and minimal diameter of GTV was (8.19 ± 2. 29) mm and (4.83 ± 1.31) mm in pathological specimens, (11.98 ±3.29) mmand (7.03±1.82) mm in BV maps, while (6.36±3.85) mm and (3.17±1.93) mm in CECT images, which were significantly different (pathological specimen vs. BV map, t = 7. 17,P =0. 000;pathological specimen vs. CECT, t = 8.37, P = 0. 000, respectively). The mean value of the maximal and minimal diameter of CTV in pathologic specimens was (12.87 ± 3.74) mm and (7.71 ± 2. 15) mm, which was significantly different from that of GTV and CTV in CECT (t = - 3. 18, P = 0. 005 and t = - 4. 24, P =0. 000;t= -11.59,P=0.000 and t= -9.39,P=0.000), while similar with that of GTV in BV maps (t = - 1.95,P = 0. 067; t = - 2. 06, P = 0. 054). For CECT, the margin from GTV to CTV was 81.83% ±40.33% for the maximal diameter and 276.73% ± 131.46% for the minimal. While for BV maps, the margin was 7.93% ± 17. 84% and 12.52% ± 27. 83%, which was significant different from that for CECT images (t=7.36,P=0. 000 and t= -8.78,P=0.000). Conclusions Compared with CECT, the BV map from 64-slice spiral CT peffusion imaging might have higher accuracy in target volume delineation for brain tumor.

Objective To investigate whether the population pharmacokinetics (PPK)models can optimize the initial dosage of individualized Valproic acid (VPA)in children with epilepsy. Methods The epileptic children without taking VPA previously were recruited from October 2015 to May 2017 at the Department of Pediatrics,Peking University First Hospital,and they were divided into the PPK model group and the traditional empirical method group by randomized method. The initial VPA dosages for the PPK model group were calculated by PPK model,whereas those of the traditional empirical method group were dosed at 20-25 mg/(kg·d)regularly. The steady-state serum trough concentrations of VPA were extracted,and then the number and percentage of the patients whose serum trough concen-trations of VPA were 50-100 mg/L in the 2 groups were analyzed and compared with prospectively randomized me-thod. Results Totally 65 epileptic children were recruited and they were randomly divided into the traditional empirical method group (32 cases)and the PPK model group (33 cases). Twenty-seven children in the traditional empirical method group were observed,and 12 children had local epilepsy attack and 15 had generalized seizures;whereas among 29 cases in the PPK model group,there were 12 local attack of epilepsy and 17 had generalized seizures. VPA add-on therapy was administrated in 9 cases and 15 cases in the traditional empirical method group and the PPK model group, respectively. There were 5 cases,21 cases and 1 case with VPA serum concentrations of <50 mg/L,50-100 mg/L and>100 mg/L in the traditional empirical group;while there were 9 cases,20 cases and 0 case in the PPK model group. The VPA serum concentrations of 21 cases (77. 8%,21/27 cases)in the traditional empirical method group and 20 ca-ses (69. 0%,20/29 cases)in the PPK model group were 50-100 mg/L,respectively,and the difference was not sta-tistically significant(P>0. 05). Conclusion Although the study doesn't suggest that the established PPK model of VPA in Chinese epileptic children is superior to the traditional empirical method,the PPK model might be potentially valuable for optimized individualized dosage adjustment for those with serum trough concentrations not in the reasonable range by the traditional empirical method and with clinical seizure or brain firing activities.

OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of Zingiber officinale and processed Z. officinale on pharmacodynamic indexes and intestinal flora on gastric ulcer rats with spleen -stomach deficiency and cold type before and after processing with sand . METHODS The SD rats were randomly divided into normal group ,model group ,positive control group (Compound tianqi weitong capsule 0.45 g/kg),Z. officinale high-dose(15.0 g/kg)and low -dose(7.5 g/kg)groups,processed Z. officinale high- dose(15.0 g/kg)and low -dose(7.5 g/kg)groups,with 10 rats in each group . The rat model of gastric ulcer with spleen -stomach deficiency and cold type was established by intragastric administration of vinegar (day 1-10)and absolute ethanol (day 11). Administration groups were given relevant liquid intragastrically ,and normal group and model group were given water intragastrically(day 5-10). One hour after intragastric administration of absolute ethanol ,blood was taken from the femoral artery of rats ,the serum contents of motilin (MTL),gastrin(GAS),epidermal growth factor (EGF)as well as 4 items of blood coagulation [activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),prothrombin time (PT),thrombin time (TT),fibrinogen(FIB)] were detect. The ulcer index and inhibition rate of ulcer in gastric tissue were calculated . The pathological changes of gastric tissue were observed,and the number and area of erosions were recorded . The diversity of gut microbiota in fecal samples of rats was detected . RESULTS Compared with model group ,the contents of MTL (except for processed Z. officinale low-dose group ),GAS(except for processed Z. officinale low-dose group ),EGF(except forofficinale groups) and FIB (except for Z. officinale groups),inhibitory rate of ulcer (only positive control group )were all increased significantly (P<0.05). APTT(except for Z. officinale groups),PT(only processed Z. officinale high- dose group ),TT(except for Z. officinale groups),ulcer index (except for Z. officinale groups),the number (except for Z. officinale groups)and area of erosions (except for Z. officinale groups)were shortened and decreased significantly (P<0.05); improvement effects of processed Z. officinale were better than those of the same dose of Z. officinale on EGF ,4 items of blood coagulation(except for PT ,TT,FIB of processed Z. officinale low-dose group ),ulcer index (except for processed Z. officinale low-dose group )and inhibitory rate of ulcer (P<0.05). Compared with model group ,α diversity indexes as ACE ,Shannon and Simpson of intestinal microorganisms in rats were increased significantly in processed Z. officinale group;the relative abundance of Proteobacteria was decreased significantly in processed Z. officinale group,while that of Bacteroidetes was increased significantly (P<0.05); the relative abundance of Limosilactobacillus was decreased significantly in Z. officinale group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Z. officinale and processed Z. officinale can improve the symptoms of spleen -stomach deficiency and cold ,and enhance gastrointestinal function by increasing the content of GAS and MTL . Processed Z. officinale can significantly inhibit gastric ulcer of spleen -stomach deficiency and cold type ,which is related to the promotion of mucosal protection and repair ,improvement of coagulation functionand adjustment of gut microbiotadisorder .
