Objective To study the correlation between dose-volummetrics and changes of pulmona- ry function tests(PFTs), and to study the ability of standard dose-volummetrics to predict these changes after radiotherapy. Methods Pulmonary function was measured in 39 patients with inoperable lung cancer one week before and 2-4 months after radiotherapy. The pulmonary function parameters were the forced vital ca- pacity(FVC), forced expiratory volume in ls (FEV 1.0) and diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide(DL- CO). Dose-volumrnetrics were V_(10), V_(15), V_(20), V_(25), V_(30), V_(35), V_(40), CTV_(100), CTV_(95), CTV_(90), CTV_(80), lung D_(mean), V_(eff) and NTCP. Pearson and line regression analysis was performed to determine whether the correlation exis- ted between the metrics and the changes of PFTs. Results No correlation was found between the dose- volummetrics and the changes in PFTs. Excluding patients(n=15) with pretreatment atelectasis, signifi- cant correlation was found between the dose-volummetrics (V_(20), V_(25), V_(30), V_(35), V_(40), GTV, V_(eff) and D_(mean)) and the PFTs changes(r=0.469-0.695, P≤0.05). Therefore, the re-expansion may have jesperdized the proper data to the present record. Multivariate analysis showed that V_(30) was the risk factor to affect the chan- ges of FEV 1.0 and DLCO(P=0.046、0.041). The pulmonary function of patients with V_(30)≥18% was worse than patients with V_(30)

4.Effect of ginsenoside rb1 on survival of dorsal random-pattern skin flap with large length-to-width ratio in rats
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2010;14(18):3339-3342
BACKGROUND: Ginsenoside Rb1 has been extensively used in the protection and treatment of heart, encephalon, lung, kidney and liver damage. However, its application in skin flap is rare.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of intraperitoneal injection of ginsenoside Rb1 on the survival of the dorsal random-pattern skin flap with large length-to-width ratio in rats.METHODS: Healthy adult SD rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. A caudally based dorsal random pattern skin flap, 80 mmx20 mm (length: width = 4:1), was symmetrically made. Ginsenoside Rb1 (2 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into the experimental group rats, and the same volume of normal saline was injected into the control group. Malonyl dialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) level of the flaps were tested 1 day after operation; the amount of viable tissues of the flaps were examined by planimetry 10 days after operation. Specimens from the proximal, middle and distal flaps were harvested for HE staining to examine the microstructure.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the first day after operation, NO level was higher in the experimental group than the control group (P< 0.01), while MDA level was lower than the control group (P< 0.01). At the 10th day after operation, the survival rate of the flap was significantly greater in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.001). Histological observation showed that compared with the control group, the edema and inflammatory cells infiltration were less, while the fiber hyperplasia and the microvascular growth were more obvious in the experimental group. Results show that intraperitoneal injection of ginsenoside Rb1 can enhance the blood supply of the flaps and improve the survival of the random-pattern skin flaps with large length-to-width ratio in rats. This may involve its effects of improving NO activity, decreasing lipid peroxidation, and promoting angiogenesis of skin flaps.

38 patients with dentition defect in our hospital for magnetic attachment dental treatment were analyzed. At the same time,34 cases of patients with dentition defects were ,being treated with conventional prosthodontics, selected to compare the stability of overdentures and masticatory function with magnetic attachment. The stability of overdentures and masticatory function after restored with magnetic attachment was significantly higher than before(P< 0. 01),while there was no difference after 4 weeks. Cementation language,comfort and appearance satisfaction after 4 weeks were significantly higher than before(P < 0. 05). The stability of overdentures,masticatory function, cementation language,comfort and appearance satisfaction after restored with magnetic attachment was significantly higher than conventional prosthodontics(P < 0. 05). It finally indicated that magnetic attachment had the advanta-ges of comfort,convenience and good effect. The stability of overdentures,masticatory function and application sat-isfaction was superior to conventional prosthodontics,and it had an application prospect.
