Objective To verify the dose delivery accuracy of volumetric-modulated arc therapy plan by log-file analysis of linear accelerator that can be created when a dynamic delivery occurs.Methods Accelerator log file in binary format recorded the accelerator execution plan for each control point corresponding to the gantry angle,multi-leaf collimator leave position,cumulative machine monitor units ( MU).These information were read from the accelerator log file with Matlab7.1,then the original control points in the plan file replaced the corresponding information for the log,which generated a new plan.New plan was exported into the planning system to reculculate the dose.The volume dose histogram (DVH) and dose distribution was contrasted to determine the accuracy of the accelerator plan of implementation between two plans.Results Compared with the original plan,antry angle difference over ± 1° accounted for about 35％ of the entire arc of control points in 4 of 12 arcs and the percentage of the leave error of ±0.5 mm was about 95％.MU error of a single control point was larger,but the cumulative MU for each are was small which was located between-0.09％ to 0.11％ in the selected 12 arcs.Between the targets,the maximum dose,minimum dose,the mean dose differences were from-0.07％ to 0.42％,-0.38％ to 0.40％,0.03％ to 0.08％,respectively.The maximum dose and mean dose differences of organs at risks were located from-1.16％ to 2.51％,-1.21％ to 3.12％,respectively.Conclusions Accelerator log-file analysis to verify the VMAT plan nan be supplyed to the experimental method supplement.

BACKGROUND:The mechanism of differentiation and proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells remains unclear. In addition, issues such as how signal pathways such as Ca2+and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cellproliferation and differentiation signals form complex signal network remain poorly understood.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Ca2+in the induced differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells into hepatocytes.
METHODS:Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from rat bone marrow using whone bone marrow adherence method, purified, amplified, and induced with hepatocyte growth factor. [Ca2+]i in the directional differentiated bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and control bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were detected with flow cytometry. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells induced with hepatocyte growth factor were mixed with nimodipine of different concentration, and cells were divided into three groups:hepatocyte growth factor+nimodipine 10 mg/L, 50 or 100 mg/L groups. cellgrowth was observed with inverted phase contrast microscope and alpha 1-antitrypsin expression of the cells was confirmed by immunocytochemistry. The calcineurin M and the activation of extracellular signal regulated kinase pathway was detected by reverse transcription-PCR and western blotting, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:[Ca2+]i in the directional differentiated bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells was higher than in the control group (P<0.05). After addition of a larger dose of nimodipine, no differentiation of cells was obeserved and growth of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells was getting worse. There were few alpha 1-antitrypsin positive cells in the nimodipine groups. Calcineurin Mexpression was significantly increased in directional differentiated bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and smal dose of nimodipine than the controls (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was found among middle, high dose nimodipine and control groups (P>0.05). These findings indicate that Ca2+could participate in the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells into hepatocytes incuded with cytokines, and also maintain the survival and proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective:To find absorbable adhesives with suitable bonding properties for the absorbable polylactic acid root canal post. To test and compare the bond strengths of absorbable polylactic acid root canal post with three different adhesives. Methods:The absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts were used to restore the extracted teeth, using 3 different adhesives: cyanoacrylates, fibrin sealant and glass ionomer cement. The teeth were prepared into slices for micro-push-out test. The bond strength was statistically analyzed using ANOVA. The specimens were examined using microscope and the failure mode was divided into four categories:cohesive failure between absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and adhesives, cohesive failure between dentin and adhesives, failure within the adhesives and failure within the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts. Results:The bond strength of cyanoacrylates [(16. 83 ± 6. 97) MPa] and glass ionomer cement [(12. 10 ± 5. 09) MPa] were significantly higher than fibrin sealant [ ( 1 . 17 ± 0 . 50 ) MPa ] , P <0 . 001 . There was no significant difference between cyanoacrylates and glass ionomer cement (P =0. 156). In the group of cyanoacrylates, the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 25 . 0%, the cohe-sive failure between the dentin and the adhesives was 16. 7%, the failure within the adhesives was 33. 3%, and the failure within the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts was 25 . 0%. In the group of fibrin sealant , the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 66 . 7%, the cohesive failure between the dentin and the adhesives was 22 . 2%, the failure within the ad-hesives was 11. 1%. In the group of glass ionomer cement, the cohesive failure between the absorbablepolylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 87. 5%, the failure within the adhesives was 12. 5%. The major failure mode in fibrin sealant and glass ionomer cement was the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives. No major failure modes were found in the group of cyanoacrylates. Conclusion:The bond strength of fibrin sealant is low, which cannot meet the requirement of clinical use. The bond strengths of cyanoacrylates and glass ionomer cement are suitable for clinical use. The cyanoacrylates are a kind of absorbable adhesive which has suitable bonding proper-ties for the absorbable polylactic acid root canal post.

Objective To use clustering analysis to help physicians detect abnormal parameters in radiotherapy treatment plans and improve the efficiency of plan verification. Methods From 2010 to 2015, 835 breast cancer treatment plans for using 4?field hybrid intensity?modulated radiotherapy from MOSAIQ were collectted. Fractional dose, beam angle, and monitor unit were used as featured parameters of a treatment plan to generate a dataset. The K?means clustering algorithm based on principal component analysis was used to perform a clustering analysis of the dataset and divide the dataset into different clusters. The outliers of clusters were automatically detected based on the distance threshold. The outlier?contained treatment plans were manually verified by physicians to determine the accuracy of clustering analysis in detection of abnormal plans. Results In the clustering analysis, the sample space composed by parameters of treatment plans for breast cancer was divided into 4 clusters, 3 of which had outliers detected. In the targeted treatment plans, 3 plans became outliers because of special target volume and the other 4 plans needed improvement. Conclusions Clustering analysis is effective to help physicians to independently verify treatment plans.

Purpose:To study the efficacy and safety of nedaplatin alone in treating drug resistant non small cell lung cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer.Methods:From June 2000 to March 2002,9 cases who were re treated non small cell lung cancer or nasopharyngeal cancer received nedaplatin chemotherapy. Nedaplatin was administered at a dose of 100mg/m 2 with 500 ml of saline by slow drip infusion for 120 minutes, at intervals of 3 4 weeks. Results:9 patients were studied, and 9 patients were evaluable. Among of them, 6 patients were nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a partial remission (PR) was observed in 2 patients, and a complete remission (CR) was observed in 1 patient. Partial response rate was 50% (3/6); 3 patients were non small cell lung cancer; partial response rate was 33.3%(1/3).The dose limiting toxicity of nedaplatin is thrombocytopenia and ieucocytopenia. Renal toxicity was not observed and gastrointestinal toxicity was mild.Conclusions:Nedaplatin is efficacious for DDP drug resistant nasopharyngeal carcinoma and non small cell lung cancer, and most patients whose tolerated the drug well.
