Objective To study the real?time dose verification with 2D array ion chamber array in volumetric modulated arc therapy ( VMAT) with a 2D array ion chamber array. Methods The 2D ion chamber array was fixed on the panel of electronic portal imaging device (EPID). Source?detector distance (SDD) was 140 cm. 8 mm RW3 solid water was added to the 2D array to improve the signal noise ratio. Patient plans for esophageal, prostate and liver cancers were selected to be delivered on the cylindrical Cheese phantom 5 times in order to validate the reproducibility of doses. Real?time patient transit dose measurements were performed at each fraction. Dose distributions were evaluated using gamma index criteria of 3 mm DTA and 3% dose difference referred to the first time result. Results The gamma index pass rate in the Cheese phantom were about 98%;the gamma index pass rate for esophageal, prostate and liver cancer patient were about 92%, 92% and 94%, respectively. Gamma pass rate for all single fraction were more than 90%. Conclusions The 2D array is capable of monitoring the real time transit doses during VMAT delivery. It is helpful to improve the treatment accuracy.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) combined with concurrent chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx. Methods:Patients with stageⅢ-ⅣA carcinoma of the hypopharynx were treated with IMRT and cisplatin-based concurrent chemotherapy. Two groups were di-vided according to the prescription dose to the primary gross tumor volume, as follows:Cohort-1 comprised patients who were recruit-ed before February 2013 (70 Gy/33 F and 2.12 Gy/F);and Cohort-2 comprised patients who were recruited since February 2013 (69 Gy/30 F and 2.30 Gy/F). Acute toxicities were evaluated. This study was registered with the number ChiCTR-ONRC-14004240. Results:Between August 2008 and December 2014, a total of 76 patients (35 in Cohort-1 and 41 in Cohort-2) were recruited. No xerostomia of grade 3 and higher was observed in all patients, who showed low incidences of grade 3 skin reaction, oral mucositis, and dysphagia. All patients did not show acute toxicities of higher than grade 4. No statistical differences in acute toxicities were observed between the two cohorts. No statistical difference was observed in acute toxicities between the IMRT techniques. Induction chemotherapy was the inde-pendent prognostic factor for grade 2 xerostomia (P=0.002). Conclusion:The 69 Gy/30 F hypofractionated IMRT was safe and effec-tive in the treatment of locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx. Late toxicities and long-term outcome need to be investigated further.

OBJECTIVETo examine the prevalence of obesity phenotypes and cardiometablic disorders (CDs) among children aged 6- 17 in Beijing from 2004 to 2013.
METHODSData were obtained from two cross-section surveys, which were conducted in 2004 and 2013. In 2004, by using stratified cluster sampling design, 20 primary or middle schools were selected from 7 districts (Xicheng, Dongcheng, Chaoyang, Haidian, Daxing, Pinggu, and Yanqing) in Beijing, and 20 554 school children aged 6-17 were recruited, with weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure measured. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured in 962 subjects from one school. In 2013, by using the same sampling design, 7 211 students from two districts (Haidian and Dongcheng) were surveyed with weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure measured, and fasting plasma glucose and lipid profile (TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C) were measured for 1 344 subjects in the same school measured in 2004. Student's-t test was used to analyze the difference in body mass index(BMI), WC, and waist to height ratio (WHtR) among children between 2004 and 2010. Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference of hypertension, impaired fasting glucose(IFG), dyslipidemia, and metabolic disorders clustering between 2004 and 2010, and among different types of obesity; logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between three types of obesity and risks of cardiovascular metabolic disorders.
RESULTSIn boys, BMI ((20.3 ± 4.4) vs (19.4 ± 4.2) kg/m(2), t=11.18, P<0.001), WC ((70.6 ± 12.8) vs (66.7 ± 11.8) cm, t=17.20, P<0.001) and WHtR (0.451 ± 0.064 vs 0.437 ± 0.059, t=11.64, P<0.001) were significantly higher in 2013 than those in 2004. Similarly in girls, BMI ((18.9 ± 3.6) vs (18.7 ± 3.7) kg/m(2), t=12.21, P<0.001), WC ((64.5 ± 9.6) vs (63.0 ± 9.3) cm, t=8.15, P<0.001) and WHtR (0.430 ± 0.047 vs 0.423 ± 0.047, t=14.13, P<0.001) were also significantly higher in 2013 than those in 2004. The prevalence of combined obesity rose from 8.27% (1 697/20 526) in 2004 to 10.74% (774/7 209) in 2013, and central obesity from 3.08% (632/20 526) to 4.44% (320/7 209). The prevalence of hypertension (10.78%(313/1 344) vs 4.29% (42/962), χ(2)=36.76, P<0.001), IFG(49.54%(664/1 344) vs 6.45%(63/962), χ(2)=506.61, P<0.001), high TC(11.53%(155/1 344) vs 5.03%(49/962), χ(2)=28.31, P< 0.001), high TG(7.51%(101/1 344) vs 3.59%(35/962), χ(2)=29.59, P<0.001) were significantly higher in 2013 than those in 2004. Subjects with combined obesity had higher risks of hypertension (OR=5.88, 95% CI: 4.42-7.82), high TG (OR=7.12, 95%CI: 4.35-11.64), low HDL-C (OR=3.04, 95%CI: 1.55-5.95), high LDL-C (OR=2.27, 95% CI: 1.22-4.02), CDs≥2 (OR=3.07, 95% CI: 2.09-4.50), comparing to children without obesity.
CONCLUSIONThe prevalence of types of obesity and obesity-related metabolic disorders, except for low HDL-C and high HDL-C, were significantly higher in 2013 than those 2004 among chlildren aged 6-17 year in Beijing. Children with combined obesity had higher prevalence of metabolic disorders.

The slow progress in clinical applications of stem cells and the bewildering mechanisms involved have puzzled many researchers. Recently, the increasing evidences have indicated that cells have superior plasticity in vivo or in vitro, spontaneously or under extrinsic specific inducers. The concept of stem cells may be challenged, or even replaced by the concept of cell plasticity when cell reprogramming technology is progressing rapidly. The characteristics of stem cells are manifestations of cellular plasticity. Incorrect understanding of the concept of stem cells hinders the clinical application of so-called stem cells. Understanding cellular plasticity is important for understanding and treating disease. The above issues will be discussed in detail to prove the reconceptualization of stem cells from cellular plasticity.

Objective To analyze the infectious status and genotype characteristics of group A rotavirus (RV) in children with diarrhea in Hangzhou city in 2017, and to provide information for the disease surveillance, epidemic control as well as vaccine development.Methods Fecal samples from children with acute diarrhea at Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University were collected from Jan to Dec in 2017. All samples were tested for RV antigen by emulsion technique. The antigen-positive samples were further detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequencing to determine the G and P genotypes. The RV positive rates in different genders, ages and months were compared by chi-square test. Results A total of 20895 fecal samples were collected from 12389 male patients and 8506 female patients. The gender ratio was 1.46:1. In 5012 (23.99%) RV antigen positive samples, 2964 (23.92%) were from male patients and 2048 (24.08%) were from female patients. There was no gender difference in RV positive rate (χ2=0.049, P>0.05). In the study, RV could be detected in the whole year. January, February and December were peak months, and the RV positive rates were significantly different in different months (χ2=2654.681, P<0.05). The highest RV positive rate was in 18-24 months age group and the lowest in<6 months age group, respectively. Children under 2 years old accounted for 76.56%RV positive cases, and those under 5 years old accounted for 98.72% RV positive cases. The RV positive rates were also significantly different in all age groups (χ2=1013.832, P<0.05). A total of 116 samples were selected from each month, following the random stratified sampling principle, for PCR amplification, sequencing, and genotyping according to VP7 (G genotype) and VP4 (P genotype). A total of 4 G genotypes were detected and G9 (85.3%) was the predominant one. In the two detected P genotypes, P[8] (96.6%) was predominant. The 4 G/P combination genotypes were G9P[8] (85.3%), G3P[8] (9.5%), G2P[4] (3.5%), and G1P[8] (1.7%). Conclusions RV was a common pathogen in pediatric patients with acute diarrhea in Hangzhou city in 2017. Children under 5 years old, especially 18 months to 2 years old infants was the main infected population. The study showed RV infection had obvious seasonality and winter was the peak period. The G9 genotype was predominant in G genotypes, P[8] genotype was predominant in P genotypes, and G9P[8] genotype was predominant in G/P combination genotypes, respectively.
