Objective:To investigate the application of the conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm to treatment plan optimization for intensity-modulated brachytherapy (IMBT).Methods:The general Monte Carlo software TOPAS was utilized to simulate the 192Ir source of IMBT, and the unit dose contribution matrix was calculated. An objective function was established using the weighted least squares method and was solved using the CG algorithm to achieve optimized IMBT treatment plans. The optimization was validated using five clinical cervical cancer cases under modulation width 60°. The dose distributions of IMBT treatment plans under 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, and 180° modulation widths were compared using the Wilcoxon test to determine the optimal IMBT treatment plan for cervical cancer treatment. Results:The CG algorithm successfully optimized IMBT treatment plans under modulation width 60° for five cases within 22.2 s on average. On the premise of sufficient target dose coverage, the average D2 cm 3 values of the bladder and rectum in IMBT treatment plans were 3.66 and 1.97 Gy, respectively, representing reductions of 0.54 and 0.69 Gy compared to traditional brachytherapy plans. For the five modulation widths, the D90% values of all IMBT treatment plans reached 6 Gy, without statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05). The average D2 cm 3 values of the bladder in IMBT treatment plans were significantly lower than those in the traditional brachytherapy plans( P<0.05), with modulation width 60° associated with the greatest reduction of 0.61 Gy. In contrast, the average D2 cm 3 values of the rectum under 45°, 60°, and 90° modulation widths decreased by 0.63, 0.54, and 0.45 Gy, respectively, compared to traditional plans, with statistically significant differences( P<0.05). Conclusions:The CG method enables rapid achievement of optimized IMBT treatment plans that meet clinical requirements, and modulation width 60° contributes to valid dosimetric optimization. This study can serve as a guide for the clinical implementation of IMBT.

On-the-spot teaching method is one of teaching methods reflecting the principle of linking theory with practice, which is more and more widely used in the professional courses teaching in modern universities and colleges. Through the practice of on-the-spot teaching, students are able to more deeply understand the significance of Management of Military Medicinal Materials Supply so as to improve students' perceptual experience, stimulate their enthusiasm and initiative of learning and make up for the lack of experimental facilities to a certain extent.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects and mechanism of naloxone treatment in drowing children.Methods A total of 97 drowing children were divided into treatment group(n=45)and control group(n=52)depending on whether the naloxone was administrated.General treatment was adopted in two groups.Treatment group Was given naloxone.The clinical effects were observed and the levels of betaendorphin(β-EP)in blood plasma were measured with radioimmunoassay(RIA)before and after treatment respectively.Results The total effective rate of treatment group(93.3%,42/45)Was significantly higher than that of control group(76.9%,40/52)(P<0.05).As compared with that of control group(65.0%,26/40),nervous system disability rate in treatment group(33.3%,14/42)decreased significantly(P<0.01).Continuous days of poor blood circulation,abnormal respiratory rhythm,convulsion and coma in treatment group were significantly shorter than those of control group respectively(P<0.01).The level of β-EP was significantly lower in treatment group than that of control group(t=17.1,P<0.01).Conclusion Clinical use of naloxone in the drowing children has curative result by reducing the level of blood plasma β-EP.
