Objective To investigate the dose distribution of esophageal stents carrying different diameters of radioactive 125I seeds in tumor target area. Methods A laser scanner was used to scan a piece of blank paper on which circles of 12 mm, 14 mm and 16 mm diameter and a 5 cm scale were drawn. The data were stored in JPEF format on the computer desktop. According to the circular diameter, simulations of the corresponding esophageal stents were established, which were divided into group A, group B and group C. By using image conversion program, 17 images with 5 mm slice-distance were created for each group; the images were transmitted to the computer treatment planning system (TPS) to simulate the 8 cm long esophageal stents of different diameters. TPS was used to sketch the gross tumor volume (GTV) in order to simulate the esophageal stent border that was used as the inner boundary of GTV, which was expanded 0.5 cm outward to be used as the external boundary of GTV. Beginning from the fifth level, the 4 cm-long GTV was drawn with circles. Setting the same prescription dose, from the fifth level to the thirteenth level the 125I seeds with 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 mCi were successively loaded on the simulation of the esophageal stents. The distance between 125I seed layers was 1 cm; the average number of seeds distributed on each layer was 4 particles. The dose volume histogram (DVH) was obtained. The D90 (the dose received by 90% of the target) and V90 (the percentage of the GTV volume receiving 90% the prescription dose) were recorded.Result s The arithmetic mean D90 of group A, B and C was (77.24 ±19.92) Gy, (69.56 ±25.27) Gy and (56.38±20.08) Gy respectively, and no statistically significant differences existed between each other among the three groups (F=0.84,P=0.44). The V90 of group A, B and C was (77.76±30.73)%,(76.79±25.92)%and (64.10 ±32.49)% respectively, and no statistically significant differences existed between each other among the three groups (F=0.46,P=0.64). Conclusion When the diameter of radioactive esophageal stent is 12 mm, the activity of 125I seed of 0.6 mCi is recommended. When the diameter of radioactive esophageal stent is 14 mm or 16 mm, the activity of 125I seed of 0.7 mCi is recommended. Nevertheless, when the diameter of radioactive esophageal stent is 16 mm, distribution of every five 125I seeds on each layer is strongly recommended. These three kinds of esophageal stent diameter have no significant effect on the dosimetric parameters.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of different puncturing approaches in the performance of CT-guided 125I seed implantation for the treatment of retroperitoneal malignant tumors. Methods The clinical data of twenty-five patients with retroperitoneal malignant tumors, who had underwent CT-guided 125I seed implantation, were retrospectively analyzed. The puncturing approaches included trans-hepatic route, trans-gastric route, trans-duodenal route, and through mesentery and through thoracolumbar iliocostalis. The malignant tumors included retroperitoneal lymph node metastases (n=21) and pancreatic cancer (n=4). Preoperative full bowel preparation was carried out in all patients, and treatment planning was formulated by using treatment planning system (TPS) before the procedure. Under CT guidance, proper puncturing approach was selected according to lesion's location. One to 3 needles were used to implant 125I seeds. Immediately after 125I seed implantation, CT scanning was performed to check the distribution of 125I seeds. Results CT-guided 125I seed implantation was successfully completed in all patients. The puncturing approaches used in this series included trans-hepatic route (n=21), trans-gastric route (n=9), trans-duodenal route (n=2), through mesentery (n=2) and through thoracolumbar iliocostalis (n=5). After the operation, no procedure-related complications such as bleeding, peritonitis, hematemesis or melena occurred in all patients. The postoperative 125I particle number, total activity and peripheral dose (D90) were not significantly different from the preoperative data. Conclusion The use of the five puncturing approaches mentioned above is clinically safe and feasible. Strict perioperative management measures should be carefully executed when through cavity organ implantation is employed.

Objective To discuss the feasibility, efficacy and complications of CT-guided 125I seed implantation for the treatment of lymph node metastasis nearby the iliac vessels.Methods The clinical data of twelve patients with para-iliac vessel lymph node metastasis, who had been treated with CT-guided 125I seed implantation, were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 12 lesions were detected; the diameter ≤6 cm was seen in seven lesions, and the diameter >6 cm was seen in five lesions. Using computer treatment planning system, the source distribution was calculated. Under CT guidance 125I seeds with the activity of 0.4-0.7 mci were implanted into the metastatic lymph nodes with a seed interval of 0.5-1.0 cm. CT scan was performed immediately after implantation to check the distribution of seeds as well as the possible complications. After the treatment, D90 (90%prescription dose received by target volume) was ≥75 Gy in 6 patients and <75 Gy in other 6 patients. Two months after the treatment CT reexamination was employed, and imaging evaluation was conducted according to WHO Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Results CT-guided 125I seed implantation was successfully accomplished in all 12 patients. Two months after the treatment, the evaluation of the therapeutic effect showed that complete remission (CR) was obtained in 0 patient, partial remission (PR) in 8 patients, stable disease in 3 patients and progress disease in one patient;and the total effect rate(CR+PR) was 66.7%. The local control rate was 91.7%. In eight patients the pain that was caused by metastatic lymph nodes was significantly relieved within 1-14 days after 125I implantation treatment. Before the treatment three patients had lower limb edema, and in two of them the lower limb edema was obviously relieved within 1-14 days after the treatment. All patients were followed up for 3-39 months, and the median follow-up time was 11 months. One-year survival rate was 41.7%. No severe complications such as massive hemorrhage, infection, myelosuppression or seed displacement occurred. Conclusion For the treatment of para-iliac vessel lymph node metastasis, CT-guided 125I seed implantation is safe and feasible. Better curative effect may be achieved when the diameter of the metastatic lymph node is<6 cm and the peripheral radiation dose is>75 Gy.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Zhusha Anshen pill, cinnabar, HgS, HgCl2 and MeHg on the gene expression of renal transporters in mice.
METHODHealthy male mice were given equivalent physiological saline, Zhusha Anshen pill (1.8 g · kg(-1), containing 0.17 g · kg(-1) of mercury), cinnabar (0.2 g · kg(-1), containing 1.7 g · kg(-1) of mercury), high dose cinnabar (2 g · kg(-1), containing 1.7 g · kg(-1) of mercury), HgS (0.2 g · kg(-1), containing 0.17 g · kg(-1) of mercury), HgCl2 (0.032 g · kg(-1), containing 0. 024 g · kg(-1) of mercury), MeHg (0.026 g · kg(-1), containing 0.024 g · kg(-1) of mercury), once daily, for 30 d, measuring body mass gain. 30 days later, the mice were sacrificed. The mercury accumulation in kidneys was detected with atomic fluorescence spectrometer. Expressions of Oat1, Oat2, Oat3, Mrp2, Mrp4, Urat1 were detected with RT-PCR.
RESULTCompared with the normal control group, a significant accumulation of Hg in kidney in HgCl2 and MeHg groups was observed (P <0.05), but these changes were not found in other groups. Compared with normal control group, mRNA expressions of Oat1 and Oat2 were evidently lower in HgCl2 and MeHg groups, but mRNA expressions of Mrp2 were apparently higher in HgCl2 group (P <0.05), mRNA expression of Mrp4 was significant higher in HgCl2 and MeHg groups, and mRNA expression of Urat1 was apparently lower in MeHg group.
CONCLUSIONHgCl2 and MeHg groups show significant difference from the normal group in mercury accumulation in kidneys and gene expression of kidney transporters, but with no difference between other groups and the normal group. Compared with HgCl2 and MeHg, cinnabar and its compounds could cause lower renal toxicity to mice.

Objective To investigate the surrounding and central dosimetric distribution difference of the same activity, same number of 125I seeds. Methods 3D treatment planning system (3D-TPS) was used to separately sketch out 7 cubes with side length of 2 cm, 2.5 cm, 3 cm, 3.5 cm, 4 cm, 4.5 cm and 5 cm;simulations of different tumor sizes were established, into which 125I seeds with activity of 0.5 mCi were respectively loaded. All seeds were distributed at the periphery of the tumor (peripheral group) with the prescribed dose of 145 Gy. The dose volume histogram (DVH) was printed and the 90% of target volume absorbed dose (D90), 90% of prescription dose coverage target volume percentage (V90), the maximum dose and mean dose were determined. Then the seeds in every cube were distributed into the center (central group) and the above parameters were calculated by using the same method. Results The mean D90 of the peripheral and central group was (147.29 ±0.58) Gy and (106.08 ±9.40) Gy respectively, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-4.292, P=0.005). The mean V90 of the peripheral and central group was (95.46±0.44)% and (79.07±4.19)% respectively, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-3.831, P=0.009). The mean maximum dose of the peripheral and central group was (1 224.65 ±12.7) Gy and (1 532.48 ±48.54) Gy respectively, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=6.823, P=0.000). The mean value of average dose of the peripheral and central group was (192.14 ±2.89) Gy and (179.81 ±5.40) Gy respectively, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-2.847, P=0.029). Conclusion The dose distribution is directly influenced by the distribution pattern of the 125I seeds. When the number and activity of the 125I seeds are the same, the peripheral seeds implantation has a better dose distribution.

Objective:This study investigates the significance of human papilloma virus (HPV) subtype detection in opportunis-tic screening for cervical cancer in Uygur and Han women. Methods:Flow-through hybridization gene chip and thin-prep cytology test were used to detect HPV in cervical cell samples from 1140 females. A total of 428 patients had undergone cervical biopsies through colposcopy. The diagnostic results of the HPV subtype test for cervical lesions were evaluated on the basis of histology. Results:Total HPV infection rate for the 1140 cervical samples was 30.3%. The most common HPV subtypes were HPV16, HPV58, HPV52, HPV18, and HPV45. HPV52 infection rate was higher in Han women than in Uygur women, with statistically significant differences between the two (χ2=8.737, P=0.003). Among these cervical samples, the single HPV infection rate was 22.4%(255/1140), whereas the multiple HPV infection rate was 6.1% (69/1140). The sensitivity and specificity of the HPV subtype test for cervical lesions were 86.4% and 24.5%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values were 58.5%and 59.3%. Conclusion:HPV infection subtypes in Ugyur and Han women have unique characteristics. Subtype detection is important in opportunistic screening for cervical cancer.

The yeast Sacchromyces cerevisiae is most widely used for producing bioethanol in alcoholic industry due to its higher ethanol yield and fermentation rate. However, the toxic effect of accumulated ethanol is one of the main factors, which limit high ethanol production. Thus, investigating the mechanisms of yeast ethanol tolerance will provide the basis for solving the industrial problem. This article reviewed the mechanisms of Sacchromyces cerevisiae ethanol tolerance focusing on its cell physiological behaviors, structure and biochemical composition, as well as its genetic basis.
