Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of three dimensional (3D) brachytherapy with 192Ir under computed tomography (CT)-guidance in patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma. Methods:A total of 82 patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma,who admitted to the Department of Tumor Radiotherapy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi 'an Jiaotong University from October 2022 to October 2023,were selected,and they were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 41 cases in each group. The observation group received 3D brachytherapy with 192Ir under computed tomography (CT)-guidance,and control group received routine two-dimensional (2D) brachytherapy. The short-term efficacy,serum tumor markers,treatment safety and quality of life of the two groups were compared. Results:In observation group,the total effective rate was 97.56%,which was significantly higher than 80.49% in control group (x2=6.116,P<0.05). The levels of glucose chain antigen 125 (CA125) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen of serum tumor markers after treatment of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group (t=11.352,5.507,P<0.05),respectively. The incidences of radiation proctitis and radiation cystitis of observation group were respectively 7.32% and 4.88%,which were significantly lower than 24.39% and 21.95% of control group (x2=4.479,5.143,P<0.05),respectively. After treatment,the scores of functional assessment of cancer therapy-cervix (FACT-Cx) scale (physiological status,social/family status,emotional status,functional status and additional concerns) of observation group were significantly higher than those of control group,and the differences of them between two groups were significantly (t=6.150,7426,9.341,10.029,8.623,P<0.05),respectively. Conclusion:3D brachytherapy with 192Ir under CT-guidance can achieve favorable short-term efficacy and higher safety on patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma,which is helpful to further improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To observe the different methods of hemostasis and comfort of the TR -Band com-pression hemostasis device after coronary intervention and to find the best strategy for TR -Band to stop the bleeding. Methods 150 patients with coronary artery disease were randomly divided into three groups according to the digital table method.The initial time of TR -Band compression hemostasis of group A was 3h,(once per hour,2mL per time,total compression time was 10h),while that of group B was 2h(once in every two hours,3mL per time,total com-pression time was 8h),and that of group C was 1h(once per hour,2mL per time,total compression time was 6 h). Thumb oxygen saturation,complications and comfort level in the three groups of patients were observed and compared. Results The differences between the three groups of oppression hemostasis before and after 2 h thumb oxygen saturation were normal,the three groups had no statistical significance (P >0.05).lesions,hematoma,bruising and radial artery occlusion occurred rate of group A were respectively 4,3,5,2 cases,those of group B were 3,4,6, 1 cases,and those of group C were 2,5,6,0 cases.Lesions,hematoma,bruising,radial artery occlusion of local com-plication incidence of the three groups showed no statistical significance (P >0.05).The comfort level (numbness, swelling,pain)of the three groups had statistically significant differences (Fnumbness =8.215,Fswel ing =7.657,Fpain =7.985,all P <0.01).Conclusion TR -Band compression hemostasis device can achieve effective hemostasis in the treatment of coronary artery intervention.And the reasonable adjustment of different bleeding time,compression time and the amount of bleeding can affect the comfort of patients.

Objective To evaluate the functional changes of visual cortex (V1) in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) by fMRI retinotopic mapping technology. Methods Fifteen POAG patients and 15 healthy volunteers underwent stimulations with fMRI retinotopic mapping stimulus and contrast-reversing checkerboard patterns stimulus on a Siemens Trio 3.0 T MRI whole-body scanner for functional data collection. Comparisons of V1 fMRI responses between the glaucomatous eyes and the healthy eyes of the patients were carried out using paired samples t-test, while independent samples t-test was used to compare V1 fMRI responses and activations between the healthy eyes of patients and the age-, gender- and side- matched eyes of normal people. Differences of V1 cortical functions and visual functions were analyzed by linear correlation analysis when the glaucomatous and the healthy eyes were simulated individually. Results (1) V1 fMRI responses of the individually stimulated glaucomatous eyes[(1.24±0.72)%]were weaker than those of the healthy eyes[(2.18±0.93)%](t=4.757,P<0.01). Comparisons of V1 fMRI responses between the glaucomatous eyes and matched eyes of normal people, as well as between the healthy eyes of patients and the matched eyes of normal people, were performed respectively: the responses in the glaucomatous eyes[(1.24±0.72)%]were weaker than those in the matched eyes of normal people[(2.01±0.65)%](t=-3.011,P<0.01). There was no statistical difference of the responses between the healthy eyes from patients[(2.18±0.93)%]and the matched eyes of normal people[(1.95±0.75)%](t=0.742,P>0.05). (2) Differences of V1 cortical functions were negatively correlated with those of visual functions in the individually stimulated glaucomatous and healthy eyes (r=-0.887, P<0.01). (3) The activated area indexes of V1 cortexes in the healthy eyes from patients (0.72±0.12) were lower than those in the matched eyes of normal people (0.85±0.09) (t=-3.801, P<0.01). Conclusion Cortical function impairment was in accordance with visual function impairment in glaucoma. Located and quantified measurement with fMRI retinotopic mapping was a useful method for clinical follow-up and evaluation of functional alteration of glaucomatous visual cortex, and a potentially useful means of studying trans-synaptic degeneration of visual pathways of in vivo glaucoma.
