Objective To investigate whether the change of beam set-up methods will influence the dosimetric quality of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Twenty-one stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ NSCLC patients were selected for this study.The technique of step and shoot was used and three different beam set-up methods were chosen for IMRT planning,including IMRT-7 with nine equal-spaced beams angled 0°,51°,102°,153°,204°,255°and 306°; IMRT-5 with five equal-spaced beams angled 0°,72°,144°,216°and 288°; and IMRT-5m which was created from IMRT-7 but excluded 2 fields (51°and 102° were omitted if there was lesion in the right lung,while 255°and 306° were excluded if there was lesion in the left lung).The dose constrains ofnormal lungs for IMRT were set according to V5-V60 of normal lungs obtained from the same patient's actually treated 3D-CRT dose volume histogram.The prescription dose for IMRT started from 65 Gy,and then escalated or decreased step by step by 2 Gy once a time until the best plan was obtained.Results For normal lung dose,IMRT-5m had lower V5-V25 than the other two groups; but there was no significant difference in V30-V40.IMRT-5 was the worst for V45-V60; and mean lung dose was lowest in IMRT-5m.Dose parameters of esophagus and spinal cord,target conformity index,and total monitor units were all similar among difference plans.IMRT-5m had lowest heart V40 compared to the other two groups.For target heterogeneity index,IMRT-5 was higher than IMRT-7,but there were no significant differences among IMRT-5m,IMRT-5 and IMRT-7.Compared to 3D-CRT,the prescription dose could be increased by (5.1 ±4.6) Gy for IMRT-7,(3.1 ±5.3) Gy for IMRT-5,and (5.5 ±4.8)Gy for IMRT-5m.Conclusion Fewer beams and modified beam angles could result in similar,even better plan quality.

Objective To analyze the anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation.Methods A retrospective analysis of anticoagulant therapy situation in 926 patients with atrial fibrillation was conducted,in order to sum up experience and improve the understanding of atrial fibrillation.Results In 926 patients with atrial fibrillation,there were no anticoagulant therapy in 675 patients,accounting for 72.89%,while only 251 cases received the treatment of anticoagulation,accounting for 27.11%.Only 66 patients aged>75 years were treated with anticoagulant therapy,accounting for 33.17%.The patients with coronary heart disease,in 17.60% and with anticoagulation treatment,the patients with diabetes in 28.37% and received anticoagulation therapy,28.32% patients with anticoagulation therapy in patients with hypertension,30.77% patients with cardiac insufficiency with anticoagulant therapy.Choice of treatment of aged>75,hypertension,coronary heart disease,clinical treatment strategies and patients were the main factors that affected the use of warfarin,but only>75 years of age,coronary heart disease,choice of treatment factors with statistical significance of three factors(OR=7.02,12.73,4.79,all P<0.05).675 cases without anticoagulant therapy in 101 patients with non warfarin treatment indications without the use of warfarin anticoagulation treatment,accounted for 14.96%.In addition,there were 574 AF patients with warfarin treatment indications and treatment with warfarin,analysis of its causes:63 cases had anticoagulant contraindications,172 cases for the doctor too much about bleeding complications,440 patients were not in accordance with the requirements of the detection of INR.Conclusion The positive effect of warfarin in prevention of ischemic stroke,but in basic hospital application of warfarin anticoagulation in patients with severe AF deficiency,should raise the awareness of risk of grassroots medical staff and patients of atrial fibrillation complicating embolism,do a good job of educating patients,to reduce the incidence of embolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation.

SCLC can spare more volume of the normal lungs and e-sophagus, and has the ability of dose escalation.

Objective To investigate the effect of mild hypothermia on the myocardial and microcirculation dysfunction induced by epinephrine during early post-resuscitation in a rat model of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods Transesophageal cardiac pacing was performed in order to elicit cardiac arrest for 5 min in SD male rats.Totally 40 rats were randomly (random number) divided into 4 groups (n=10):normothermic control group (N),normothermic epinephrine group (N+E),hypothermic control group (H),and hypothermic epinephrine group (H+E).Chest compression was then initiated.Epinephrine (0.02 mg/kg) or saline was administrated at 1 min during CPR.Restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was recorded,and the rates of ROSC were observed.Myocardial and microcirculatory function were observed at 1,2,3,and 4 h during early post-resuscitation.Serum lactate level was assessed at baseline and ROSC 4 h.Results The ROSC rates were 10/10 in the H+E group,9/10 in the N+E group,4/10 in the H group,and 1/10 in the N group,respectively.Ejection fraction (EF)and cardiac output (CO) in the H+E group were significantly higher than that of other groups (P＜0.05).Total vessel density,perfused vessel density,proportion of perfused vessels,and microvascular flow index in the H+E group were also significantly higher than those of other groups during early post-resuscitation.The serum lactate level in the H+E group was significantly lower than that in the N+E and H groups..Conclusions Both epinephrine and mild hypothermia can improve the success rate of resuscitation.However,mild hypothermia can improve the epinephrine induced myocardial and microcirculatory dysfunction during postresuscitation in the rat cardiac arrest.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes and coordination of macrocirculation and microcirculation in rats with severe hemorrhagic shock and septic shock. Methods A total of 20 male Sprague-Dawley rats (450～550 g) were randomly divided into two groups (n = 10) : hemorrhagic shock group (H-Shock) and septic shock group (S-Shock). 40％ of the systemic blood volume was withdrawn in 1 hour in H-Shock group.While in the S-Shock group, cereal ligation and puncture (CLP) was performed and then the abdomen was closed.Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) were recorded continuously. Cardiac ultrasonography and sublingual microcirculation were performed per hour till 12 hours or the rat die (End). A total of 12 hours were observed or the rat die. Arterial blood gas was measured at baseline (BL) , MAP ≤ 65 mmHg (Shock) and at the termination of observation respectively. Results The values reflect macrocirculation or microcirculation in the H-Shock group were all decreased than BL respectively at each time. In the S-Shock group, the values that reflect macrocirculation such as MAP, ETC02 and cardiac output (CO) showed no significant changes within 3 hours (P> 0.05) , while the values of microcirculation were decreased compared with BL respectively at each time (P < 0.05). With the progress of shock, the pH was decreased compared with BL in both groups, while the level of Lac were increased (P < 0.05). Conclusions The changes of macrocirculation and microcirculation in severe hemorrhagic shock are basically the same; while they are inconsistent in septic shock, the changes of microcirculation occurred earlier than that of macrocirculation.

Purpose: Precise electrode placement is crucial for the success of sacral neuromodulation (SNM). The aim of this study was to explore a more accurate and convenient method for positioning punctures during the first stage of SNM. Methods: This retrospective study compared preoperative baseline values, intraoperative indicators, postoperative scores, and other clinical data from 130 patients who underwent SNM electrode implantation at our department between 2018 and 2023. The patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group to assess the advantages and feasibility of augmented reality (AR)-guided sacral nerve electrode implantation. Results: The experimental group experienced fewer intraoperative puncture attempts and achieved more accurate AR-guided localization punctures. Additionally, there were more responsive electrode contact points (2.74±0.51 vs. 2.46±0.74) and a lower initial voltage postimplantation (1.09±0.39 V vs. 1.69±0.43 V). The number of intraoperative x-ray fluoroscopies was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (5.94±1.46 vs. 9.22±1.93), leading to a shorter overall operation time (61.32±11.27 minutes vs. 83.49±15.84 minutes). Furthermore, there was no need for additional local anesthetic drugs during the surgery in the experimental group. Comparative observations revealed no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss or the sacral hole location for electrode implantation between the 2 groups. Although the incidence of wound infection and the rate of permanent implantation in stage 2 were similar in both groups, the pain score on the first day postoperation was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (2.62±0.697 vs. 2.83±0.816). Conclusions AR-guided sacral nerve modulation implantation can reduce both the number of punctures and the duration of the operation while ensuring safety and effectiveness. This technique can enhance the contact points of the response electrode, effectively lower the initial response voltage, and stabilize the electrode.

Objective:To explore the application value of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in laparoscopic radical resection of bladder cancer and ileal bladder surgery under modular operation procedures.Methods:A retrospective selection of 42 cases of laparoscopic radical radical resection of bladder cancer and ileal bladder surgery performed by the Department of Urology, General Hospital of Southern Theater Command from January 2017 to December 2019 were divided into two groups according to the different management methods adopted during the perioperative period: ERAS management group and conventional management group, each with 21 cases. Among them, patients in the ERAS management group were managed by ERAS during the perioperative period, and patients in the conventional management group were managed by conventional management during the perioperative period. The postoperative hospital stay, first exhaust time, first defecation time, first time to get out of bed, first liquid food time, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, as well as transferrin, upper arm circumference, body mass index, plasma albumin, total protein, and total protein were compared between the two groups of patients after surgery. The measurement data conforming to the normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), and the in dependent t-test was used for comparison between groups; the measurement data of non-normal distribution were expressed as the median (interquartile range) [ M( P25, P75)], the independent sample Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups; the Chi-square test was used for comparison of enumeration data between groups. Results:The postoperative hospital stay in the ERAS group was (8.9±1.8) d, the first exhaust time was (33.4±3.2) h, the first defecation time was (60.3±7.8) h, the first time to get out of bed was (23.1±6.7) h, the first liquid food time was (82.7±18.5) h and postoperative VAS was (1.3±0.6), that were significantly reduced compared with the conventional treatment group [(12.3±2.3) d, (51.4±5.2) h, (73.0±8.1) h, (34.7±8.2) h, (109.7±21.6) h, (3.6±0.8)], the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the ERAS group, the decreased value of transferrin was [0.8 (-0.4, 2.2) g/L], the decreased value of body mass index was[1.61±0.73], the decreased value of plasma albumin was [3.5±1.5 g/L], the decrease value of total protein was[10.1±5.6 g/L] and the decrease value of prealbumin was [90.5±11.3 mg/L] were significantly lower than those of the conventional management group[(1.9(0.9, 3.6) g/L, (2.32±1.05) kg/m 2, (9.6±2.0) g/L, (16.3±4.9) g/L, (131.3±7.4) g/L], and the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Modular laparoscopic precision resection of bladder cancer and ERAS concept after ileal bladder surgery is beneficial to shorten the hospital stay, reduce postoperative pain, have less impact on the patient′s body loss and immune function, and can speed up the patient′s postoperative recovery.

The scheduling time, running time, returning time and service radius in the death group were less than those of the non-death group, but the rescue time and total time of the former were more than those of the latter respectively ( P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0. 001 ). The scheduling time and returning time didn' t have significant difference between the sudden cardiac death group and the non-sudden cardiac death group respectively ( P ＞ 0.05), but the running time, total time and service radius of the sudden cardiac death group were more than those of the non-sudden cardiac death group, and the rescue time of the former was less than that of the latter respectively ( P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.001 ). (2)The patients' amount in pre-hospital medical care group, the non-death group, the death group, the non-sudden cardiac death group and the sudden cardiac death group were at most in first quarter, and the least time slice of patients' amount were 4:00～ 6:00, 4:00～6:00, 4:00～ 6:00, 22:00～ 24:00, 2:00～4:00 respectively, and the most time slice of patients' amount were 20:00～ 22:00, 20:00～22:00, 8:00～ 10:00, 2:00 ～ 4:00, 8:00 ～ 10:00 respectively. (3)In 241 876 cases of pre-hospital medical care group, the patients' amount of trauma was at most, whose age grades was by far among21 ～50, and the others in sequence were nervous system, circulatory system, other group, digestive system, respiratory system and poisoning group respectively, whose age grades in nervous system, circulatory system and respiratory system was by far above 51, especially above 70. The patients' age grades in other group and digestive system had two climax age groups, which the one was 21 ～ 30, and the other was above 70. The patients' age grades in poisoning group was by far among 21 ～ 50, which the patients' amount of acute alcoholism was at the most. (4) In 12 568 cases of death group, the death amount of circulatory system, other group, respiratory system, nervous system and digestive system ranked at the lst,2nd,4th,5th 8th respectively, whose age grades was by far above 51, especially above 70,and the patients' amount of sudden cardiac death was at the most in the death amount of circulatory system. The death amount of trauma and poisoning group ranked at the 3rd, 6th respectively, whose age grades was by far among 21 ～ 50. (5)The total amount, the death amount and the sudden cardiac death amount of male patients were more than those of female patients. (6)The percentage of the death group to the pre-hospital medical care group was 5.20%, and the percentage of the sudden cardiac death group to the pre-hospital medical care group was 1.29%,and the percentage of the sudden cardiac death group to the death group was 24.87 %, and the percentage of the sudden cardiac death group to the circulatory system group was 67.33 %. Conclusions ( 1 )The trauma and the sudden cardiac death are the overriding reason of disease and the overriding reason of death in our large and medium-sized cities respectively. (2) It is very important to cut the death rate of the middle-old age patients by strengthening prevention and cure of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, discerning the critical illness early and improving the level of pre-hospital medical care. (3)It is a strong method to decrease the total amount and the death amount of the trauma, especially in traffic accident, by strengthening safety in production, observing traffic regulation and enhancing the legal awareness.
